Chapter 39 Xia actually became the backbone of the defense!
At this stage of the game, Barnsley is desperate.

Long-range shots, crosses, set balls, and the three major means of breaking dense defenses are all arranged.

But Leicester City retreated across the board, clinging to a one-goal advantage.

Several consecutive attacks, multiple set balls.

In the 82nd minute of the game, it was Barnsley's corner kick.

It was their third corner in 10 minutes.

Leicester City players are ready for everything and keep an eye on the opponent's players.

In the previous two corner kick tactics, their forward threat was average, and the two central defenders were very threatening.

Both Coleni and Wiseman are tall central defenders, typical British traditional defensive players.

In the penalty area, although their header ability is average, they can always grab opportunities with their strong bodies.

This time, the ball flew to Wiseman again.

Wiseman squeezed a little harder and squeezed Whitbread away again.

Captain Morgan was defending Koreni, unable to do anything at all.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared!
It's Xia Xing!
He squeezed Wiseman hard!

Morgan knew what he wanted to do.

Xia Xing's jumping ability is average, and his height of 178 is not enough to support him to grab a header in front of Wiseman.

However, he can interfere as much as he can!

After Whitbread was squeezed away, Xia Xing and Wiseman collided hard!
The ball passed over the heads of the two and flew out of the bottom line!

No one can touch the ball!
Xia Xing's goal has been achieved!

Getting up from the ground, Wiseman looked at Xia Xing unconvinced.

This kid looks inconspicuous and not strong, how could he knock himself away?

I must have been out of position just now!
Two minutes later, the two collided again!
The 45-degree diagonal cross from the wing, this time it is still looking for Wiseman!

This time, Xia Xing got into position ahead of time and appeared exactly where the ball landed!
Wiseman exerted force from the side!
But he didn't push Xia Xing away!

Although Xia Xing's position has moved a little, he is still in a favorable position to compete for the top!
The two took off at the same time again!

But again failed to top the ball!

But for Xia Xing, it doesn't matter!
This is what he wants!
The ball flew out of the bottom line again, and Barnsley's chance was lost again!

The fans in the stands applauded thunderously!
This applause is dedicated to Xia Xing!
After the team decided to retreat to defend, Xia Xing quickly returned to the penalty area, and he had already set his sights on Wiseman.

Several strong opponents, Leicester City players have a division of labor, but Whitblad defending Wiseman is a bit difficult.

In this case, Xia Xing took the initiative to ask for assistance in defense.

Two consecutive wonderful defenses made Wiseman return without success!

In the 89th minute of the game, when Wiseman was once again snatched by Xia Xing, Pearson applauded rarely: "Not bad! I didn't expect Xia to become the backbone of the defense!"

Shakespeare even praised again and again: "Although this kid's defensive ability is not good, his body is indeed much stronger. As a defender, Wiseman has limited attack power, but his body is strong. Xia is really suitable for defending such an opponent."

Pearson: "If there is a chance, Xia Xing can even try other different positions."

Shakespeare: "Well, indeed."

When Barnsley's last long shot went straight into the stands, the referee also sounded the whistle for the end of the game.

"Wow, the game is finally over, it's not easy.

"When Leicester City were sent off at the beginning of the game,
"To score a goal and keep a clean sheet,

"Just because of this tenacity, I am optimistic that they can win the Premier League next season!"

The host kept praising, and the King Power Stadium also burst into applause.

Fans have been on tenterhooks for this game, and it's only now that they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The fans are happy, and the Leicester City general is in a great mood.

Besides winning the competition, Xia Xing also had a special reward.

Vieira Cards!
First start, cut zero seals!

[Tasks: 1. Make a debut in the Championship; 2. Help the team keep a clean sheet. 】

[Mission objective completed! 】

[Mission reward arrives——Patrick Vieira card, S rank! 】

Finally got the Vieira card!

[(unit hours) Batistuta: 16/50.Vieira: 0/50. 】

One-third of the Batistuta cards have been fused, and it is not far from being completely absorbed.

Keep going!

After a narrow victory, Leicester City finally won the opponent and scored three points.

The competition in September can be regarded as coming to an end.

As of now, Leicester City has played 9 league rounds this season, with 7 wins and 2 draws, firmly occupying the top position.

As long as this momentum can be maintained, there is no suspense to advance directly.

The promotion system of the British Championship, the top two will advance directly, and the third to sixth will play the promotion play-offs to be the absolute last place to advance.

Leicester City don't want to play in the promotion play-offs this season.

The schedule in October is relatively loose, with only 10 games.

On October 10th, in the 5th round of the British Championship, they played away against Yeovil.

On October 10, the 13th round of the British Championship, away to Doncaster.

On October 10, in the 19th round of the British Championship, they played against Huddersfield at home.

On October 10, in the 26th round of the British Championship, they played against Bournemouth at home.

On October 10th, the English League Cup quarter-finals, against Fulham at home.

Several league opponents are not strong, and Leicester City, which is in good form, is sure to win.

But unexpectedly, after two games, Leicester City's performance was surprising.

Facing the two underdogs Yeovil and Doncaster, Leicester City even scored two 0-1 scores.

The league suffered a two-game losing streak!
The game process is basically similar, they are all in the opponent's iron barrel formation, and Leicester City is pressing.

He couldn't score a goal, but was accidentally scored by the opponent, and finally lost the game.

After two games, Leicester City did not score a point and has already been tied with No.2 Burnley in league points!
Although temporarily leading with a goal difference advantage, the top position with no point advantage is in jeopardy.

In the replay after the game, the Leicester City coaching staff was also very depressed.

It stands to reason that the players performed well, but these two games were really unlucky.

There are two goalposts in every game, can you believe it?

The opponent's goal, one is a melee goal after a corner kick, and the other is an own goal that bounces on one's own player.

The worst of luck.

Although the team lost two games in a row, Pearson did not lose his temper with the players this time.

He is well aware of the situation.

The team's two-game losing streak is not a problem with the players.

On the contrary, when the team was in trouble, the players played very hard.

So Pearson, who is usually serious, didn't show any anxiety this time.

Instead, let Shakespeare comfort the players.

Shakespeare: "Hey, why don't you go by yourself?"

Pearson: "I have to maintain a strict image, you take care of the aftermath and be a good person."

Shakespeare: "That sounds like a good job..."
