When the referee blew the final whistle, the Burnley players were amnesty.

This disaster-like game is finally over.

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

At the start of the second half, Drinkwater, Vardy and Riyad Mahrez were substituted one after another, and Leicester's overall strength dropped significantly.

And the whole team didn't play as fiercely as in the first half, and the physical confrontation was a little more conservative, in order to ensure health and fitness.

But even so, Burnley was still powerless.

Their occasional attacks were easily defused by Leicester City.

After Drinkwater's departure, Xia Xing's position continued to lean towards the middle.

And took on the responsibility of the lower back.

His excellent defensive ability and strong body made it impossible for Burnley attacking players to get forward.

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

And it was also when Xia Xing reduced the number of attacks.

If it weren't for Xia Xing trying his best to create opportunities for his teammates, then he would have been able to press up and attack by himself several times.

Maybe it's not 4-0.

The whistle blows, the game is over, and Burnley's FA Cup campaign this season is over.

On the sidelines, Kieran Trippier approached Xia Xing and exchanged jerseys with him.

This is the second time the two have exchanged jerseys.

"Xia, you've changed."

"Huh? What do you mean? ”

"I haven't seen you in a few months, and you've changed a lot from the inside to the inside."

"What's changed?"

"The last time we played each other, you were just a rising star, and now you're much more sophisticated. And the technology has also grown a lot, and the leadership is also great. Just now when you were defending in the middle of the back, you were directing your teammates to run, and you looked like a captain. ”

"Don't make a fuss, I'm just a newcomer, just talking to my teammates on the pitch."

'No, you've changed a lot, and even though it's just over, I'm already looking forward to the next time we meet in the Premier League.

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

Compared to the last meeting, this exchange has also improved a lot.

Especially in terms of assists, even if you switch positions to play wingers, it's no problem.

Maybe this guy can really make it to the England national team, maybe he can't do it.

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

"Man, we're rivals, but 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 nice to meet you."

"I have the opportunity to come to my house as a guest, and I will introduce you to you."

"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'll keep trying......"

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

What an interesting fate......

With a win over Burnley, Leicester's FA Cup campaign continued.

But that's a month later and now they still have to fight for the league.

A week later, they faced the 34th round of the Championship against Wigan Athletic.

On the side of the court, Xia Xing met his old acquaintance Powell again.

It's been a few months since their first Championship meeting, and the two will meet again, but the circumstances are completely different.

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

Wigan Athletic, on the other hand, have been oscillating between 6th and 8th places in the league, with the possibility of direct promotion almost non-existent, and qualification for the play-offs is also difficult.

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

Although they are mercenaries, both are desperate to help the team get promoted to the Premier League.

And when the two were on loan, they were completely different in nature.

Powell is highly anticipated, and Xia Xing is just a personal optimism about Ferguson, who has retired.

But more than half a season has passed, Xia Xing can almost be said to be one of the best players in the Championship, while Powell has been in a bit of an up-and-down state and has not achieved the desired performance.

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

"Xia, when you come back to Manchester United at the end of the season, you're going to get more attention than I do, for sure."

"Man, you're technically good too, just not quite adapted to the roughness of the Championship. I've been following you, you're great. ”

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

"I'm very happy that we can play each other again."

"Let's do it together, brother!"

The game began, and the two sides faced off.

In this game, Leicester City once again rotated a large number of times, especially the forward line, and replaced the combination of Conokette and Nugent.

Leicester City's best striker partner last season can only be a substitute this season.

It's not that they're not doing well, it's that Jamie Vardy and Chris Wood are in too good shape.

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

Chris Wood has also changed his arrogant personality from last season, not only improving his shooting ability, but also taking on the role of a pillar centre-forward.

This pair is one high and one fast, and it is already a killer feature for Leicester City.

Despite this, Conokette and Nugent remain important rotational players in the team.

In multi-front battles, every time the two of them appear, they can bring some surprises.

In this game, the two also performed well.

In the 33rd minute of the game, it was a combination of the two that finally scored from the far corner of the penalty area by Konoket.

1 to 0!

Leicester break the deadlock!

In the absence of Mahrez, Vardy and other main players, Leicester City is still full of attacking power!

However, Wigan Athletic is not without opportunities.

Powell, in particular, is a midfielder who often makes accurate passes to his teammates.

A couple of shots on goal also posed some threat.

However, substitute goalkeeper Logan did well, and his high and low blocks made the opponent go to nothing.

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

Xia Xing's corner kick was accurately punished to the center of the penalty area!

Drinkwater leaps high and heads home!

The ball is high!

But when he hit the ground, he lost his balance and was about to fall to the ground......

One player suddenly rushed up and tugged so that Drinkwater didn't fall.

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

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

The person who just protected Drinkwater from being injured but twisted himself was none other than Powell.

"Powell! Are you okay? ”

"I think I sprained my wrist......"

"Thank you for protecting me just now!"

"You've been a Manchester United player, you're all your own, I can't just watch you get hurt......"
