Chapter 93 Friendship
When the referee blew the final whistle, the Burnley players were like amnesty.

This catastrophic game is finally over.

Although the final score was fixed at 4 to 0, the process was even more unacceptable than this result.

After the start of the second half, Drinkwater, Vardy and Mahrez were replaced one after another, and the overall strength of Leicester City dropped a lot.

And the whole team did not play so aggressively in the first half, and the physical confrontation was a little more conservative, in order to ensure health and physical fitness.

But even so, Burnley is still powerless.

Their occasional attacks were easily resolved by Leicester City.

After Drinkwater left the field, Xia Xing's position kept leaning towards the middle.

And assumed the responsibility of the midfielder.

His excellent defensive ability and strong body make it impossible for Burnley's offensive players to advance forward.

In the end, in the second half alone, they also lost 0-1.

And it was the case that Xia Xing reduced the number of attacks.

If Xia Xing hadn't tried his best to create opportunities for his teammates, he would have been able to attack by himself several times.

Maybe the score is not just 4-0.

The whistle blew, the game was over, and Burnley's FA Cup journey this season came to an end.

On the sidelines of the court, Trippier found Xia Xing and exchanged jerseys with him.

This is the second time the two have exchanged jerseys.

"Xia, you have changed."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"I haven't seen you for a few months. You have changed a lot from the inside out."

"What changes?"

"The last time we played against each other, you were just a rookie, but now you are much more experienced. And your skills have improved a lot, and your leadership skills are also great. Just now when you were defending in the midfield, you directed your teammates to run. You look like a captain."

"Stop making trouble, I'm just a rookie, just communicating with my teammates on the court."

"No, you have changed a lot. Although the game has just ended, I am already looking forward to the next time we meet in the Premier League."

The two exchanged jerseys, Xia Xing looked at Trippier's back and nodded secretly.

Compared with the last match, this exchange has also improved a lot.

Especially in terms of assists, even if you switch positions and play as a winger, there is no problem.

Maybe this guy can really make it to the England national team, maybe.

On the other side, Schmeichel was exchanging gloves with goalkeeper Grant.

"Dude, although we are rivals, I have a crush on you."

"why?"

"Because your father is my idol."

"Hehe, this reason is too..."

"And your style is very similar to his, so it's a pleasure to meet you."

"If you have the opportunity to come to my house as a guest, I will introduce you to know each other."

"Wow, that's great, thank you!"

"Maybe one day, you can join Manchester United and follow the same path as him."

"It's not realistic, although I will keep trying..."

A few years later, when Grant recalled this conversation today, he was filled with emotion.

Destiny is really interesting...

After winning Burnley, Leicester City's FA Cup journey continued.

But that was a month later, and now they still need to fight for the league.

A week later, they ushered in the No.30 four-round match of the British Championship against Wigan Athletic.

On the sidelines of the court, Xia Xing saw his old acquaintance Powell again.

It has been a few months since their first meeting in the Championship, and the two will meet again in completely different circumstances.

In terms of teams, Leicester City is far ahead, and the Premier League is just around the corner.

However, Wigan Athletic has been shaking between 6th and 8th in the league. The possibility of direct promotion is almost non-existent, and the qualification for the play-offs is also very difficult.

As the offensive core of both teams, Xia Xing and Powell are both on loan from Manchester United.

Although they are mercenaries, both of them are eager to help the team advance to the Premier League.

And when the two were loaned out, their natures were completely different.

Powell is highly anticipated, and Xia Xing is only optimistic about the retired Ferguson.

But more than half a season has passed, Xia Xing can almost be said to be one of the best players in the British Championship, while Powell's state is quite ups and downs, and he has not achieved his ideal performance.

Seeing each other again, Powell even had some envy in his eyes.

"Xia, when you return to Manchester United at the end of the season, you will get more attention than me, for sure."

"Man, your technique is also very good, just not used to the roughness of the Championship. I have been watching you, you are very good."

"Hehe, don't comfort me like that."

"I am very happy that we can play against each other again in this game."

"Let's work together, brother!"

The game started, and the two sides started a duel.

In this game, Leicester City once again rotated a large area, especially the striker, and replaced the combination of Konokite and Nugent.

The best strike partner in the Leicester City team last season, this season can only become a substitute player.

It's not that their performance is poor, but that Vardy and Chris Wood are in great shape.

This season, Vardy has improved a lot in all aspects, with obvious advantages in speed and shooting.

Chris Wood also changed his aloof personality last season. Not only has his shooting ability improved, but he is also more able to take on the role of a column center.

This pair, one high and one fast, is already the killer of Leicester City.

But despite this, Konokite and Nugent are still important rotation players in the team.

In multi-line combat, every time the two of them play, they can bring some surprises.

In this game, the two performed equally well.

In the 33rd minute of the game, it was a cooperation between the two. In the end, Konokite pushed the goal from the far corner of the penalty area.

1 is better than 0!

Leicester City break the deadlock!

In the absence of many main players such as Mahrez and Vardy, Leicester City is still full of attack power!

But Wigan Athletic is not without a chance.

Especially Powell's midfield pass control, often passing precise passes to his teammates.

A couple of shots also created some threats.

However, the substitute goalkeeper Logan performed well, and his high and low blocks made the opponent return without success.

In the 81st minute of the game, Leicester City got a corner kick.

Xia Xing took the corner kick accurately to the center of the penalty area!

Drinkwater jumped high and hit the goal with a header!

The ball is high!
But when he landed, he lost his balance and was about to fall to the ground...

A player lunges forward and pulls to keep Drinkwater from falling.

But the man slid to the ground and sprained his wrist.

Drinkwater quickly signaled the referee to stop the game, and some players were injured.

It was Powell who just protected Drinkwater from being injured but twisted himself.

"Powell! Are you all right?"

"I probably sprained my wrist..."

"Thank you for protecting me just now!"

"You used to be a Manchester United player, and you are all on your own. I can't just watch you get hurt..."
