Chapter 73 Come on, hooligans!

"The Championship is weaker than the Premier League? NO! "

Such an article headline appeared in the sports section of The Times.

However, this article has been questioned by many people.

Especially Premier League fans.

"It's not that the British Championship has strength, but that Leicester City has strength! Please figure it out!"

In an interview with Sky TV, the words of an experienced football commentator represent the hearts of many people.

"For the majority of Premier League teams playing against Championship teams, the Championship is still the absolute underdog.

"The large-scale penalty in the British Championship game makes it easy for players to get used to the rough style of play.

"Once they encounter harsh penalties, they will suffer.

"Although Leicester City are tough, their style of play is not rough.

"That's why they were able to wrestle with Premier League teams.

"So stop bragging about the Championship, it's pointless."

Yes, Leicester City's performance this season has indeed surpassed the attention in the Championship.

Their performance has been heard throughout Europe.

In particular, many players in Leicester City are said to have been targeted by many teams in the five major leagues.

But no one thinks much now, because for all Leicester City people, going all out to surpass is the most important thing.

With wins over Queens Park Rangers and Reading, Leicester City's winning streak continues.

On December 12, they won Charlton again.

It's also a 1-0, and it's also Xia Xing's assist.

Leicester City's lead has reached 13 points.

After taking turns to fight, the Leicester City players are already very tired.

And three days later, Leicester City will continue to play in the Premier League, still away.

On January 1, the first day of 1, they will be away at the Neal Stadium, ushering in the first game of the second half of the Championship.

Their opponent is Millwall.

When you meet football hooligans again, your opponents have been clamoring for a long time.

"If Leicester City come to our stadium, we will make them look good!"

The embarrassing scene of Leicester City lore Millwall in the first half made them very embarrassing, and now they still vividly remember it.

Thinking of this, resentment arose everywhere.

But this time Pearson wasn't tough.

For him, it is now necessary to maintain the physical strength of the team reasonably.

Especially against Millwall, it is even more important to ensure that the players are not injured.

So Pearson sent almost all substitutes in this game.

Even captain Morgan sat on the bench.

In the starting lineup, only Schmeichel, Xia Xing and Drinkwater are the three absolute main players.

The others are all substitutes.

In this game, Pearson's goal for the players is also very clear——

Don't get hurt, eat less cards!
He didn't even ask to win.

In other words, this game is fine.

Anyway, the team is now 2 points ahead of No.13 Burnley. It doesn't matter if they tie or even lose!

Leicester City seeks stability, but Millwall seeks ruthlessness.

From the first minute of the game, they collided fiercely.

But they didn't expect that this game was a bit new.

Why is Leicester City...not in possession of the ball?
In this game, at the request of Pearson, Leicester City even took the initiative to give up the ball to the opponent.

Then retreat and fight back.

Come on, rascals!

Come and attack!
After such a whole process, Millwall couldn't even get it right.

They just rushed towards the body, but the opponent didn't control the ball, what's the matter?

Shouldn't it be aimed at opponents who don't have the ball?

Isn't that just a fight?
Moreover, Millwall's offensive ability is mediocre. If they are given the ball, they will not have any decent offense.

After playing more than 40 minutes in the first half, there were no decent shots at all.

In the first minute of stoppage time, Xia Xing tackled in the midfield and broke the opponent's ball!
A long pass went straight to the frontcourt!
Konokite successfully countered offside, caught the ball and shot!

The ball is in!
1 is better than 0!

Leicester City used a fast break to open the scoring first!

With a goal advantage, Leicester City entered the second half.

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again. Leicester City still gave the opponent the opportunity to control the ball.

Millwall stormed at half-time for Leicester City.

However, it looked like Zhang Fei embroidered, hammering the needle and thread heavily, but it didn't work.

In the 78th minute of the second half, Drinkwater intercepted the ball in midfield and suddenly advanced.

At a distance of 35 meters from the goal, he kicked and shot!
The ball went straight to the corner!

2 is better than 0!

Another goal for Leicester City!
victory is in sight!

In the end, Millwall also failed to score.

They wanted revenge in this game, but they were overthrown by their opponents again.

The fans in the stands kept scolding, but the Leicester City general didn't care.

Let's scold, the harder you scold, the better we play.

Pearson on the sidelines was all smiles.

Great.

No one got hurt and it was a win, which is great.

The game was earlier, Leicester City did not spend the night there, and their bus returned to Leicester City.

The bus stopped at the entrance of the club, and Pearson looked at everyone with a smile.

"Guys, you worked hard today.

"Being able to defeat those hooligans without bloodshed,

"You guys did a great job!

"Today is the first day of the new year, I wish you all a happy new year!
"Two days off, go back and rest!"

There was a burst of excitement on the bus!

Drinkwater drove Xia Xing to the door of his house and waved goodbye.

Looking up, I saw bright lights in the house.

After face recognition, the door opens automatically.

Li De and Ariana are both in the living room.

"Aren't you resting so late? Are you waiting for me?"

"you guessed right!"

Ariana embraced warmly, and Xia Xing was extremely warm.

Li De snorted: "I really made my sister guess right. He said that Pearson will definitely bring you back for the New Year."

Aliona smiled and pointed to the kitchen: "You don't need to cook today, we have already prepared everything. Since the end of the game, Li De has been calculating your travel time, and estimated that it is almost time to arrive home. It is indeed true."

Xia Xing smiled: "Li De, you have a really good brain."

Li De curled his lips: "It's better than you anyway."

Ariana went into the kitchen, and soon dinner was on the table.

It's just nine o'clock, and the British often have dinner at this time.

The three sat down, chatted while eating, relaxed and happy.

After the meal, Xia Xing went back to the room and took out the New Year's gift for the siblings.

"Li De, this is a New Year's gift for you."

"A top-of-the-line laptop? Wow, this one's not cheap, it works."

"Your old laptop can be replaced."

"Ali, this is the Chinese cheongsam you've always wanted. I asked someone to bring you five sets, all of different styles. I hope you like it."

"Wow! They all look so good! I like them so much! Thank you!"

Seeing how happy the siblings were, Xia Xing smiled all over his face.

Ariana's New Year's gift to Xia Xing was a watch with a deep sky blue dial, very beautiful.

Li De gave Xia Xing a pair of casual suits, which are very slim and look good.

The stove in the house was warm, and the three of them sat on the sofa and chatted.

Chatting, laughing everywhere.

The taste of home is full of every corner...
