After a win over Brighton on 7 December, Pearson gave his players a rare two-day holiday.

Recently, the whole team has been very tired.

As we enter the Christmas season, we must be physically fit.

In the following period, Leicester City entered a dense third-line battle.

On December 14, in the twentieth round of the Championship, he faced Burnley at home.

On December 18, the quarter-finals of the English League Cup, the opponent has not been determined, and the draw results are still waiting.

On December 21, in the 21st round of the Championship, he challenged Queens Park Rangers away.

On December 26, in the 22nd round of the Championship, Reading was welcomed at home.

On December 29, in the 23rd round of the Championship, he faced Bolton at home.

On January 1, in the 24th round of the Championship, away against Millwall.

On January 4, the third round of the FA Cup, the opponent was not determined, and the draw results were still waiting.

In 21 days, Leicester City will play seven games, an average of one game in three days.

Extremely stressful.

Two days after winning Brighton, Xia Xing finally ushered in good news.

At the end of his five-hour "virtual arena" that day, the system prompt sounded.

[Congratulations to the host, the Gattuso card is fully absorbed!] 】

[The current physical attribute data of the host (Xia Xing) is as follows (100 points out of 100 points):]

[Offense: Shots, 79.] Passing, 78. Ball control, 83. Horizons, 51. Positioning, 49. set-pieces, 69. 】

[Body: Speed, 87.] Explosiveness, 89. Strength, 85. Bounce, 57. Physical Fitness, 90. reaction, 82. 】

[Defense: Marking, 31+10.] Steals, 45+15. Goalkeeping, 13. 】

[Star Skills: 1. Heavy Artillery Bombardment (S-Rank)] 2. Substitute Wonder Soldier (S Rank). 3. The king is domineering (S-level). 】

[Comprehensive Ability Assessment: Grade B.] 】

All 25 points were added to the "marking" and "tackles".

It's not bad either.

In particular, the steal has increased to 60 points, which is already passing.

With the strength of 85, the reaction of 82, and the physical strength of 90, even if you play at the back, it can be regarded as the second-rate level of the Championship.

Or is it already top-notch?

It's hard to say, but it's all in the game.

December 14, King Power Stadium.

Leicester City are already warming up for the game and their opponents Burnley are long overdue.

Looking at the King Power Stadium, several Burnley players snorted coldly.

"Listening to the noise of this group of fans, I feel annoyed."

"Yes, I don't like Leicester in my heart."

"Haha, I probably know why you guys don't like Leicester City."

"Why?"

"Because there are too many red factors in their team, hahahaha!"

When others hear this, they will not understand.

What do you mean?

Leicester City is known as the "Blue Fox", why is it because of the red factor?

It's all because of Leicester's special relationship with Manchester United.

De Laette, Drinkwater and James are known as the "Red Devils' Three Treasures" of Leicester City.

Because they all came to Leicester from Manchester United.

And now, there is another Xia Xing in the team.

Burnley, on the other hand, has a number of players who have switched from Manchester City in the squad.

Left-back Benjamin Rice, who came through Manchester City's academy, has been with Burnley for three seasons.

Right-back Kieran Trippier, who is also a rising star in Manchester City's academy, joined Burnley at the same time as Benjamin Rice.

As a Manchester City native, it is natural that he hates Manchester United.

Even former Manchester United players hated it.

19-year-old striker Danny Ings put his arm around the shoulders of the two: "Guys, we're going to knock them out in this game!" ”

Benjamin M: "Gotta do it!" ”

Kieran Trippier: "I'm going to score myself!" ”

Burnley lined up in a 4-3-3 formation for this game and their desire to attack was clear.

Obviously, they intend to go home with three points.

Leicester City, on the other hand, are still in a 4-4-2 formation.

In this game, Dier sat on the bench, Xia Xing and James started on the wings.

The middle lane is still the front and back partnership of Andy King and Drinkwater, tending to a diamond-shaped position.

However, Xia Xing and James have a large range of movement, and the formation of the midfield changes from time to time.

Leicester's style of play has changed a lot from last season.

The referee's whistle blows, and the game begins!

Leicester City are in steady control in midfield, while Burnley on the opposite side are already waiting for an opportunity to attack!

"Burnley goalkeeper Heaton's hand throws the ball!

"The ball is at the feet of Benjamin Mmi!

"Benjamin Mi accelerates with the ball!

"Knock on the midfield!

"Arfield makes the wall, backpass!

"Benjamin M continues to step forward!

"Feed the ball forward and get it to David Jones!

"Jones passes back to the penalty area!

"It's an inverted triangle pass!

"Danny Ings pushes the far corner of the goal!

'Schmeichel fell to the ground and blocked the ball!

"This defense was wonderful!"

Just two minutes into the game, Burnley unleashed a brilliant fast attack.

But that's just the beginning.

Three minutes later, Burnley's attack was upon us.

"Kieran Trippier sprints with the ball on the right!

"Vokes heads back and the ball goes back to the right flank!

"Kieran Trippier crosses!

"This half-high cross is incredibly accurate!

"It's Danny Ings' shot again!

"Volley!

"Schmeichel punches hard!

"Morgan clears at the back post!

"Leicester City has escaped again!

"Just five minutes into the game, Burnley hit two great fast breaks!

"They're going to be more aggressive than Leicester in this game!"

The commentator was right, and it was true that Burnley's attack was more fierce in this game.

Leicester City were suppressed by Burnley at the beginning and were a bit out of the game.

It's only a matter of time, though.

In the 15th minute of the game, just when Burnley's onslaught was a little relieved, Leicester's attack came up.

James' several attacks just now were all disrupted by Benjamin M and Duff working together.

This time, the ball was passed to the left, at the feet of Xia Xing!

In the opening period, Burnley attacked fiercely, and Xia Xing has been helping to defend.

The occasional few passes are also dominated by long passes.

Now James has a long pass to the left, and Xia Xing catches the ball!

There are no defenders in front of him!

Don't hesitate to sprint with the ball!

Midfielder Malny was a little late and was wiped by Xia Xing with the ball!

Trippier on the grab!

Xia Xing stops the ball and accelerates!

Trippier turns around and follows up!

Xia Xing stopped the ball again!

Accelerate again!

Two rhythm changes in a row, directly shaking off Trippier!

Rush to the left side of the penalty area and cross with your feet!

The ball arced out and went straight to the far corner of the penalty area!

Chris Wood has been waiting there for a long time!

Jump high and head the goal!

The ball slammed into the far corner of the goal!

"The ball is in!

"Wood's header was so powerful!

"Xia's cross was incredibly accurate!

"Burnley stormed for fifteen minutes and still to no avail!

And Leicester City's first goal of the game was successful!

"1 to 0!

'Leicester break the deadlock!'
