Chapter 158: A hat trick, a point kill!
The first half is over, Leicester City leads Manchester United 2-1.
Many people did not expect this score.
Even though Leicester City has been in fantastic form recently, their opponent is Manchester United after all.
How can a group of Manchester United abandoners compare with the real Manchester United players?
However, they were really ahead.
To be fair, Manchester United played better than Leicester City today.
Even if Leicester City counterattacks defensively, their offensive and defensive system is not as good as Manchester United.
Manchester United are clearly in better shape.
But with Xia Xing's two superb performances, Manchester United fell behind at halftime.
In the dressing room, Van Gaal was furious.
Many players were scolded.
They are not convinced, but what can they do?
After all, the score was behind.
After the start of the second half, fans discovered that Manchester United had replaced three players.
They used up all the substitutions in one go.
Falcao, Blackett and Blind came off, and Hernandez, Fellaini and Phil Jones came on as substitutes.
They were all substitutions, and it seemed that Van Gaal was very satisfied with his tactics.
Soon, they got results.
In the 51st minute of the game, Di Maria's pass caused Leicester City to be in danger in the middle.
Fellaini, who is good at heading the ball, attracted the defensive attention in the middle, but in the end the ball leaked to the back point.
Van Persie's header hit the goal, and the ball hit the net!
2 to 2!
Manchester United equalized the score!
This goal made the visiting team stands at King Power Stadium excited again!
We've equalized!
Just one step away from the lead!
Van Gaal also had a smile on his face on the sidelines.
This is right.
Play hard, we still have plenty of time!
Next, Leicester City still maintains a defensive mode.
Manchester United continued their onslaught, especially when they began to cross wildly, looking for Fellaini and Robin van Persie.
Rooney also stepped in from the back row from time to time, threatening Leicester City's goal.
But Schmeichel was in excellent condition today.
Although he conceded two goals, neither goal was his responsibility.
After several high passes and low blocks, he also tried his best to keep the goal.
As time goes by, Leicester City continues to adjust personnel.
The game time has reached 85 minutes.
The score is still 2 to 2.
Manchester United's offensive also gradually weakened, and at this time the physical fitness of both players was seriously reduced.
However, Leicester City still focuses on Rooney and Robin van Persie and will never give them a chance.
Just like Manchester United desperately keeping an eye on Xia Xing.
But even so, Xia Xing still found an opportunity.
After Rooney's long shot was saved by Schmeichel, captain Morgan passed the ball to Albrighton in front.
After Albrighton came on the stage, he switched positions with Xia Xing and went to the left.
At this time, he caught the ball and directly knocked it horizontally, passing the ball to Xia Xing again.
And just when the opponent's defensive players were approaching, Xia Xing suddenly made a move!
He didn't even stop the ball and sent a long pass straight to the frontcourt!
The accuracy of this pass is not particularly high, but the timing is very good!
In the frontcourt, Vardy has already speeded up!
Relying on his excellent tacit understanding with Xia Xing, he successfully resisted offside!
Although Phil Jones, who came off the bench, has excellent physical fitness, he is not as fast as Vardy!
"Vardy ran straight into the penalty area and kicked off...
“He was tackled!
“It’s Phil Jones!
"He brought down Vardy with a diagonal tackle!
"Is it going to be a penalty?
"The referee's whistle sounds!
"Without any hesitation!
"It's a penalty!
“We don’t even have to watch the replays!
"Vardy's handling of the ball just now was very smart!
"He may not be able to run anymore,
“Even if you shoot, you may not be successful!
“But getting a penalty is different!
"Leicester City has a winning chance!"
At this time Vardy fell to the ground and did not get up, and his teammates rushed up.
"How are you doing, man?"
Vardy waved his hand: "My ankle is sprained and I can't survive. Xia?"
"I'm here!"
"Leave this penalty kick to you."
"I?"
"Yes, here you go. Help me beat Manchester United!"
"good!"
Xia Xing doesn't take many penalty kicks, and even if Vardy is not there, there is Ulloa ahead of him.
But Ulloa didn't speak today. He patted Xia Xing and expressed his support.
"Brother, get a hat trick, I'm optimistic about you!"
"We all like you!"
"come on!"
Looking at the sincere eyes of his teammates, Xia Xing nodded.
"good!"
The team doctor took Vardy off the field, and Vardy asked the team doctor to wait.
"Put me first on the sidelines next to the goal. I want to watch this goal."
At this time, Manchester United players were still protesting for Phil Jones's red card and the penalty, but to no avail.
Rooney even received a yellow card.
The penalty was obvious and uncontroversial.
The unrelated personnel exited the penalty area and Xia Xing put the ball down.
Slowly step back and take a deep breath.
De Gea in front of him jumped left and right, trying to distract him.
But Xia Xing doesn't care.
He had no intention of kicking an angle.
Because next, he wants to shoot!
Run up, speed up!
Heavy artillery blast!
At this distance, although Xia Xing's strength data of 85 is not world-class, the S-class star's heavy artillery skills are genuine!
This shot went straight to the right side of the goal!
It didn't even look for a blind spot!
Even so, De Gea didn't move at all!
He even only heard the sound of the wind!
Then, the whole stadium cheered!
"Penalty kick into the net!"
"Leicester City leads again with a score of 3-2!
"With Manchester United having one player sent off,
"Leicester City has secured this game! ”
Yes, it’s stable.
With less than five minutes left in the game, Manchester United still had one less player, and they were already at their limit.
It was almost impossible to turn the game around.
But even so, Rooney, Herrera, Fellaini and other players were also attacking with all their might.
Especially Fellaini and Hernandez, who came on as substitutes, attacked with all their might with their better stamina.
But they forgot that the other team also had a group of excellent defensive midfielders.
Drinkwater and Xia Xing’s double defensive midfielder combination is definitely the top level in the current Premier League.
Albrighton and Hammond, who came on as substitutes, defended desperately on the wing, and Manchester United could not take any advantage.
In the third minute of injury time, Hernandez forced a kick on the penalty area line, and the ball flew into the stands.
The referee finally blew the whistle to end the game.
“The game is over!
“In this ups and downs game, Leicester City had the last laugh!
“3 to 2!
“Leicester City has won another victory!
“They started the Premier League with five consecutive wins this season!
"What a dream start!"
"It's just perfect!"
"The biggest contributor to this victory is of course Xia!"
"His hat trick left Manchester United helpless!"
"Today's game is the most perfect game for Xia in my mind!"
"This young man is just too good!"
"I believe he will bring us more surprises in the future!"
"They will help Leicester City create more miracles!"
