Star Card System

Both sides gained something in the first half, and the fierce confrontation continued in the second half.

However, the second half was more of a physical fight, and neither side gained anything.

In this game, Xia Xing sat in the away fans' stands, and followed several teammates who were also not on the roster to cheer for his team in the stands.

At this moment, he truly felt the power of the English Championship.

After joining Manchester United's youth training camp, he went to Old Trafford to see the past and felt the charm of the Premier League.

The sense of power of the passionate collision is fascinating.

At this moment, the league known as the most confrontational in the world really opened Xia Xing's eyes.

Is this the English Championship?

The fierce collision between opponents is not only physical, but also seems to be a collision of souls.

When he was just shoveling, Konchesky was even hit by the opponent's striker and his nose was broken. Blood was flowing, and he looked hideous.

But two minutes later, he ran back to the court after the temporary bleeding was stopped and continued to fight.

Such an English Championship is definitely a battle field for men!

After truly experiencing the English Championship, he also understood Pearson's pessimism about him.

In this kind of confrontation, he would really suffer a lot.

Even if he had the skills, it would be difficult to play well.

It seems that the enhancement of physical strength is imminent.

I hope that Zidane's star card can greatly enhance his strength, and I hope that the remaining cards can continue to strengthen his body, otherwise it will be too difficult for him to gain a foothold in the English Championship.

In the 45 minutes of the second half, neither side had a good chance to score, and the final score was fixed at 2:1.

Leicester City won the first league victory of the season!

Although the process was not perfect, the result was very good!

Xia Xing saw that Pearson smiled the moment the referee blew the final whistle.

The team won the game and took another step towards the Premier League!

In this game, Leicester City only used two substitutions, and many players with good strength were on the bench.

It's not that Pearson looked down on them, but Pearson's tactical arrangement.

Because the next game is very close, with two games a week, physical fitness must be arranged reasonably.

After all, there are 24 teams in the English Championship, and a single season double round-robin needs to play 46 games, which is very stressful.

And there are also League Cup, FA Cup and other events interspersed, which requires great physical fitness for the players.

On August 3, Leicester City beat Middlesbrough.

On August 6, Leicester City ushered in the event again.

This time it was not a Championship game, but an English League Cup game.

In English football, the League Cup has a very low status.

Not only are they lower than their respective leagues, but they are also suppressed by the long-standing FA Cup.

Many Premier League teams only send young players to fight, and they really don't take it seriously.

However, in recent years, due to the fierce competition in the Premier League, in order to boost morale, some mid-stream teams will also attach great importance to the League Cup.

For low-level leagues, the League Cup and the FA Cup are both hotbeds for creating miracles of the weak defeating the strong.

If you can draw with a super strong team, you may also win a good ticket revenue.

So for Leicester City, the League Cup will go as far as possible.

In this game, Pearson sent most of the rotation players to let the main players rest as much as possible.

For him, the goal of this season is not to make an upset in the cup, but to get promoted to the Premier League.

So he doesn't care much about this type of cup.

In this game, many substitutes appeared, including the starting striker combination of Nugent and Connockett last season.

These two were the first and second scorers in the team last season.

Leicester City's opponent in the first round of the League Cup is Wycombe Wanderers.

A League Two team.

For Leicester City, beating them is not a problem at all.

However, the process of this game was much more difficult than Pearson imagined.

Not long after the game started, Wycombe Wanderers succeeded.

An inconspicuous counterattack, a long shot without any space to pass the ball, actually scored a world wave?

1 to 0!

Wycombe Wanderers actually took the lead!

The visiting fans cheered wildly!

The King Power Stadium became a red explosion stage for the visiting fans for a while!

But soon, Leicester City also responded.

Still taking the ball from the midfield, and still shooting from a distance, Andy King's arcing ball of about 32 meters went straight into the net!

1 to 1!

Leicester City equalized the score!

Next, it was time to score another goal and take the lead as soon as possible!

But this goal came too late.

After attacking for more than 80 minutes, it was not until the 85th minute of the game that striker Nugent scored a goal in a counterattack.

2 to 1!

Leicester City finally overtook the score!

The fans in the stands applauded!

On the sidelines of the court, Shakespeare breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally we're ahead, this game is so..."

It was terrible.

The worst Leicester City player in today's game should be striker Connockate.

He wasted so many opportunities that he couldn't count them on one hand.

If Pearson hadn't cherished his talent and diligence, he would have been replaced long ago.

Just now, Connockate missed a single-handed opportunity.

The coaching staff on the sidelines sighed.

Xia Xingdu, who was sitting on the bench, shook his head repeatedly.

Logically speaking, he was the second-best scorer in the team last season, so why is he not doing well this season?

Drinkwater, who was sitting next to him, whispered to Xia Xing: "Xia, I believe more and more in fate now."

Xia Xing: "Huh? Why?"

Drinkwater: "Because of Connockate."

Xia Xing: "What happened to him?"

Drinkwater: "Since the last shot last season, he has completely kicked his luck away."

Xia Xing was stunned, and soon reacted: "Are you talking about that game?"

Drinkwater nodded heavily, and he himself was reluctant to say it.

Because that game is still a pain for Leicester City players.

A Championship game has been repeatedly mentioned by countless fans and has become a good story. This is the famous "Watford Miracle".

On May 12, 2013, in the second leg of the Championship play-off semi-final, Leicester City played against Watford.

The score on the field at that time was Leicester City leading 2-1, and the total score was 2-2.

If it ends with this score, Leicester City will advance to the play-off final with an away goal advantage, just one step away from the Premier League.

At the last moment of injury time, Leicester City got an extremely valuable penalty.

As long as the ball goes in, Leicester City will win.

But the penalty was missed.

Watford players quickly cleared the ball with a big kick, and the ball flew across the half court.

After a series of cooperation, Watford No. 9 player Deeney volleyed and scored.

In an instant, Watford people cheered wildly, and Leicester City fell from heaven to hell.

That game, or the penalty that was not scored, became the most painful moment of Leicester City's failure to advance to the Premier League last season.

And the striker who missed the penalty was Conokate...
