With 15 minutes remaining, the Leicester players were in the dressing room receiving Pearson's final instructions.

Written on the whiteboard is Chelsea's starting line-up for this game.

4-2-3-1 formation.

Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.

Back four: Cesar Azpilicueta, John Terry, Gary Cahill Ivanovic.

The midfielders Cesc Fabregas and Nemanja Matic.

Three forward Hazard, Oscar, Schurrle.

Single arrow Diego Costa.

Also on the bench were players such as Ramirez, Drogba, Willian, Felipe, Mikel, Petr Cech and others.

Chelsea's tactical style of play is already familiar to Leicester players.

After all, the two teams met last season and have studied it in advance.

However, there have been some changes this season, mainly in the midfield position.

Pearson pointed to Fabregas's name.

'Chelsea won 3-0 in the last game.

'Cesc Fabregas made a big contribution with two passes and one shot.

'Since joining Chelsea, he has quickly become the heart of the team.

"More precisely, a metronome.

'Mourinho is defensive-oriented, so he didn't play Cesc Fabregas's attacking ability.

'He needs the passing organising of the Spaniard.

"In this position, as long as he makes a good pass,

"Diego Costa, Hazard, Oscars in front,

"They all create good opportunities.

"So we have three things to note about this game –

"Costa with great impact up front, Eden Hazard with great skill on the wing, Bregas with top passing skills.

'Just guarding against these three guys is like guarding against the whole of Chelsea.

"This game is still the same as the last one.

"Be the first to defend and make sure you don't concede a goal.

"Jose Mourinho's team's favourite score is 1-0,

"We just gave him 0-0,

"He will be anxious to win the championship.

"That's our chance!

"Come on, boys!

"Like in the last game, win the opponent and get the three points back!"

Pearson's words fell, and the players applauded excitedly.

"Victory!"

"Chelsea!"

"Win and get three points!"

Looking at the spirits of the players, Pearson nodded in satisfaction.

The first round of the Premier League is off to a good start, and hopefully this game will go well.

Players from both sides run onto the pitch and the game is about to begin.

Before coming on the field, Pearson patted Xia Xing on the shoulder: "Xia, I still need your big area of running in this game to help Drinkwater defend Fabregas." ”

Xia Xing nodded: "No problem!" ”

'You're so close to Cesc Fabregas that to stop him is to break Chelsea's metronome.'

"Good!"

Xia Xing ran onto the pitch and came to the left wing.

Leicester City still lined up the same formation and starting line-up as they did in the previous game.

4-4-2 formation.

Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel.

Four defenders from left to right: De La Ette, Koncheski, Wes Morgan, Danny Simpson.

The four midfielders from left to right, Danny Drinkwater, Cambiasso, Riyad Mahrez.

The twin strikers are Jamie Vardy and Ulloa.

The only change was that Drinkwater and Cambiasso swapped places in the middle.

In the last game, Xia Xing ran a lot and often went to the middle to help defend.

In order not to affect the chances on the left, Pearson put Drinkwater in the left midfield position, and Xia Xing could echo the fill-in.

The two have a very good tacit understanding.

"Xia, I'm mainly responsible for defending Cesc Fabregas in this game, but it's probably difficult, you have to help me more."

"No problem!"

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

Chelsea kick off first.

The pass between Costa and Schurrle, the ball was passed behind them, and the two accelerated to sprint.

Oscar faced Cambiaso's pressing and crossed to the left.

Eden Hazard catches the ball lightly.

Mahrez sprints up to grab it!

Hazard pulled the ball lightly sideways and flashed past Mahrez!

In front of right-back Simpson suddenly, he accelerated diagonally!

Simpson hurriedly followed, so he didn't lose his position!

Eden Hazard shoots from outside the box!

The ball slides out of the goal!

It's dangerous!

Carragher was full of praise for the shot.

"Great!

"It was such a sudden shot and it was a crosshair!

"That's good!

"If it weren't for Simpson's defensive position just now, it is estimated that Hazard would have gone in!

"Leicester's penalty area is absolutely dangerous!

"Eden Hazard felt good today!"

Leicester kick off and the ball is contested in the middle.

Mahrez's pass to Ulloa was a little slower and was broken by Nemanja Matić's long leg!

Chelsea today have two midfielders, one in possession and one in defence.

Nemanja Matic is Chelsea's iron gate today!

After the break, he knocked it directly to Cesc Fabregas.

Cesc Fabregas decisively makes a long pass to find Diego Costa!

Costa sprints quickly and carries Drinkwater away with his body!

He's too strong!

Dribble the ball outside the box!

Captain Morgan grabs!

Costa got straight to his feet!

"Another wonderful shot!

"Schmeichel has made a contribution this time!

"He punches the ball out!

'The whole Chelsea team was in great shape today!

"They're telling Leicester in their own way –

"We're not Everton!

"This is the real Premier League!"

Chelsea's fast-break attacks were followed by wave after wave, and Leicester City's midfield was under tremendous defensive pressure.

Cesc Fabregas, in particular, sits in midfield and creates chances with almost every pass.

Whether it is Diego Costa in the front line or Hazard behind him, they all have strong individual ability.

In the 15th minute of the game, Schurrle received a pass from Cesc Fabregas and fired a burst shot into the corner of the penalty area, hitting the lintel.

It scared Leicester City fans.

Plzeň, who was on the sidelines, also frowned.

It can't be like this.

Cesc Fabregas was in great form today.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the dead ball, he shouted Xia Xing.

“xia！”

Xia Xing looked back, and Pearson gestured at him.

He understood.

This is what the two said before.

Xia Xing nodded, quickly came to Drinkwater's side, and muttered a few words.

Soon, there were some minor changes to Leicester's formation.

Xia Xing moved to the left midfield position and ceded the left flank position to Drinkwater.

In this way, Xia Xing will face Fabregas head-on!

From the beginning of the game to the present, Xia Xing and Fabregas have not had any chance to face each other.

Cesc Fabregas didn't dribble the ball much, he just received the ball and passed it simply.

And Xia Xing also mainly defends Schurrle and assists in defending Oscar.

Now, the two are finally in tune.

Xia Xing looked at Cambiaso on his right.

Cambiaso gestured to Oscar beside him, then patted his chest.

Then he pointed to Fabregas, and finally to Xia Xing, and gave a thumbs up.

xia！

Leave this guy to me, no problem!

That guy is over to you!

I have faith in you!
