Chapter 61 Competitors
Looking at Lingard in front of him, Xia Xing was a little emotional.

Although he only played in the Manchester United youth team for more than a month, he has formed a deep friendship with many teammates.

For example, Lingard in front of him.

He is the captain of the Manchester United youth team and helped the Manchester United youth team win the FA Cup in the 2010-2011 season.

In the summer of 2012, he was called up to the Manchester United first team.

However, there are very few opportunities to play, and most of the time is still spent in the youth team.

This summer, he left Manchester United with the youth team on loan and moved to various places.

The English Championship is a very suitable place for him.

On the one hand, it allows the Manchester United coaching staff to observe his performance closely. On the other hand, he is also from England and prefers to stay in England.

Coming to Brighton on loan this summer, he has become an important member of the team with his outstanding performance.

In less than half a season, he contributed 4 goals and 4 assists, and played a great role in the team's offensive and defensive system.

If this season can help the team promote to the Premier League, then he will have a better way after returning to Manchester United next season.

Now they are ranked fourth in the league, just like the same period last season, fighting for the two spots for direct promotion.

Seeing that the team was behind 0 to 3 at this moment, he couldn't sit still and volunteered to come on the field.

The head coach also agreed to his request.

Standing in the middle of the court at this time, Lingard took a deep breath.

The ball passed to his feet, he made a long pass and went straight to the frontcourt!

The counterattack started!

A few passes in succession are quite threatening.

In the 84th minute of the game, Lingard took the ball on the right.

Facing Drinkwater's press, Lingard accelerated his sprint!
Use the speed to pass the water brother!

James assisted in the defense, Lingard collided and knocked James away!

At this point he has come to the right!

Decisive cross!

The ball went straight to the middle!

Strong Argentine center Ulloa headed home!
The ball hits the net!

The ball is in!
3 is better than 1!

Ulloa, who scored the goal, rushed to the net and ran back holding the ball.

Leicester City players looked at each other.

I thought the game was stable, but Brighton obviously did not admit defeat.

De Laet stepped forward and chatted with Drinkwater and James.

"Jesse is getting better and better now."

"Yeah, the forward thrust just now was very decisive, and I didn't even guard against it."

"And his body became stronger, and he knocked me away."

"This kid has a future."

These three former Manchester United players have all played with Lingard. They are old acquaintances, and they are staggered by Lingard's progress.

The game continued and Lingard's offense continued.

At this stage, the Leicester City players were a little tired, and they began to retreat.

Brighton's offensive players are also a little bit stuck.

Lingard, who came off the bench, was physically fit and sprinted frequently.

In the 89th minute of the game, Lingard once again rushed through the midfield and hit the goal with a long shot!
The ball hit the lintel!

Brighton missed another chance to rewrite the score.

In the live broadcast room, the commentator felt a little regretful.

"Lingard was injured in this game, so he didn't start.

"It's a pity to see him in such a good state right now.

"If he can start the game, the result of this game is really hard to say.

"It's a pity..."

It is indeed a pity.

Lingard almost scored with a long shot, and Shakespeare on the sidelines let out a sigh of relief: "I was scared to death. If I score another one at this time, the game will be really difficult."

Pearson agreed: "Yeah, after all, there are still five minutes in the game plus injury time, enough to score another one. But there is absolutely no way they can score two more."

"Speaking of which, this Lingard was originally our favorite, and he almost came on loan, but was preempted by Brighton."

"But it's good. If he comes, Xia may not be able to come. Xia is much more important than him."

"Oh? I remember at the beginning of the season, someone seemed to say something like xia was not needed. Who said it?"

"It's definitely not me!"

"Hahahaha!"

"By the way, that Ulloa is not bad, he is strong enough. If we succeed in the Super League, we can consider poaching him to supplement the thickness of the lineup."

"He is really good, not only has attack power and a strong body, but also returns to defense frequently, and his defensive contribution is also great."

"Well, he is really a good choice. Now we have to think about the plan after the success of the Super League."

"It makes sense...but then again, are you changing the topic just now?"

"I do not have!"

"Hahahaha! You are the hardest guy! Everywhere is soft except the hardest."

"It's okay, don't drive..."

"I mean, you're soft-hearted, you're good to the players, where are you going?"

"Ha ha……"

In the 3rd minute of stoppage time, Lingard passed the ball to Ulloa again, but under Morgan's squeeze, Ulloa's header went wide of the goal.

The referee blows the whistle, the game is over!
This heavyweight contest ended with a complete victory for Leicester City.

On the sidelines of the court, Lingard took the initiative to hand over the jersey: "xia."

"Jessie." Xia Xing hugged his former teammate friendly, "You performed great today, if you start, our three points will be suspended."

Lingard shook his head: "Don't say that, you are the best. The three assists are wonderful. You have improved a lot compared to when you were in the Manchester United youth team."

"You too."

"Let's work hard together and try to help the team succeed in the Super League, and then go back to Manchester United and join hands in the Premier League!"

"OK!"

Looking at Lingard's determined eyes, Xia Xing is also full of expectations for the future.

The two left Manchester United together to fight in the Championship.

Although it is not the top league, they are all doing their best!
The road ahead is difficult, but if you overcome obstacles, you will surely gain something!
With the victory over Brighton, Leicester City continues to top the standings.

Now they are 2 points ahead of No.7 Burnley, and the possibility of overtaking is getting bigger and bigger.

But for Leicester City, they can't take it lightly.

There are no underdogs in the English Championship, this is an iron law.

Even if they lead by 7 points, it does not mean that they are much stronger than the team behind them.

For example, Millwall, who is very weak, almost stumbled them.

And the weak team Xie Wednesday prevented them from getting three points.

If you are not careful next time, you may get into trouble.

So Leicester City now needs to maintain a stable state and continue to grab points!

In the 20th round of the British Championship a week later, their opponent was Burnley.

A direct competitor for second place in the league.

It is no exaggeration to say that this Burnley team is the strongest opponent Leicester City has encountered this season.

If this game wins, it will lead by 10 points.

If the game is lost, then the lead is only 4 points.

The top position may be replaced at any time.

The significance of this game to Leicester City is very important...
