On the evening of September 18, outside the King Power Stadium.

Since being promoted to the Premier League, Leicester City's football market has become more and more popular.

After consecutive wins, fans' expectations for the team have reached a peak.

And for their European debut, fans are looking forward to it.

Pearson even let the team enter the field earlier, warm up in advance, and find a feeling.

Leicester City still lined up in a 4-4-2 formation for this game.

Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel,

Four defenders from left to right: Delaette, Koncheski, Wes Morgan, Danny Simpson,

Four midfielders from left to right, Drinkwater, Albrighton, Mahrez,

The twin strikers are Jamie Vardy and Chris Wood.

Compared to the previous game, two positions were changed today.

Veteran Cambiaso and striker Ulloa were rested, with Albrighton and Chris Wood starting.

The adjustment of these two positions is not only a consideration of the physical fitness of the players, but also a tactical change.

Facing Wolfsburg, a powerhouse from the Bundesliga, Pearson was well prepared.

The biggest feature of Wolfsburg is its solid fundamentals.

They were very solid in attack and defense, and they were steady.

Although there are no special tactical highlights, it is this solid characteristic that is enough to put pressure on the opponent.

And the biggest highlight under this solid foundation is naturally De Bruyne, the core of the midfield organization.

Today Wolfsburg lined up in a 4-3-3 formation,

Goalkeeper Benaglio,

Defender four Ricardo Rodriguez, Naldo, Knoch, Sebastian Rong,

Three midfielders Maranda, Gustavo, De Bruyne,

Three strikers Caligiuri, Olic and Dost.

Although they are in an attacking 4-3-3 formation, their players are very good at running.

So the team often changes between 4-3-3 and 4-5-1.

At this moment, the players of both sides have finished their warm-ups, listened to the manager's final arrangements in the dressing room, and ran out of the players' tunnel quickly.

On the court, Xia Xing looked at the No. 14 player opposite.

De Bruyne.

Such a talented player has a very tortuous career development.

After a blockbuster in Bremen, I thought it would be better to return to Chelsea.

But unfortunately, he didn't get his wish.

Actually, Mourinho is not to blame.

After all, Chelsea are now in the squad, with players such as Eden Hazard, Oscar and Willian in hot form.

De Bruyne really didn't have room to play it.

After all, Abuke is a boss who is in dire need of results, and he will not give the manager too many opportunities to develop new talents.

He eventually left the club halfway through last season and returned to the Bundesliga.

This choice is quite correct.

Kevin De Bruyne has now become the absolute tactical heart of Wolfsburg, and even the best midfielder in the Bundesliga.

That's nice.

Although it was an opponent, Xia Xing looked at De Bruyne with some sympathy.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed that De Bruyne was also looking at him.

The two looked at each other.

De Bruyne smiled.

Xia Xing also smiled and nodded.

Although they have never met, the two seem to have a heart.

Xia Xing looked at the sky.

It's an interesting game......

At this time, the referee's whistle blows and the game begins!

Leicester kick off first!

Vardy and Chris Wood pass each other and get forward quickly!

The ball is handed to Drinkwater behind him!

Drinkwater crosses again to Albrighton!

After receiving the ball, Albrighton decisively accelerated with the ball and sprinted towards the left front!

At this time, Xia Xing on the left side quickly ran to the middle, and the two completed the cross exchange!

At this point, left-back Delaette has already stepped forward!

Albrighton short pass, De Laette catches the ball and sprints!

Diagonal long pass into the penalty area!

Find Vardy!

Jamie Vardy volleys from the edge of the box!

The ball is held firmly by goalkeeper Benaglio!

As soon as the opening game, Leicester City played a wave of wonderful offensive cooperation!

The King Power Stadium applauded thunderously, and the Leicester City fans were very excited!

They seem to have seen the win!

We've won four in a row in the Premier League, so will we be on the verge of our first European victory?

Definitely!

Taking advantage of the momentum of the home game in the opening game, Leicester City's attack continued.

In the 6th minute of the game, Leicester City launched another onslaught.

This time the ball went down the right and Mahrez put on a solo show.

He dribbled in succession, shaking off two defenders.

Suddenly cut inward, and instantly pull back to the right!

Near the touchline, kick in a cross!

Chris Wood leaps high and heads the ball into goal!

The ball went a little wide and slid out of the door.

Although there was no goal, the cooperation still won the applause of the fans.

In the 10th minute of the game, Drinkwater cut in from the back row and came with a long-range shot.

Goalkeeper Benaglio punched out and defender Naldo cleared the ball with a big foot.

Shakespeare on the side of the court smiled: "Yes, yes, although we haven't scored yet, but look at the posture, sooner or later." This game is in full swing! ”

But Pearson still looked solemn.

Shakespeare: "What's wrong?" ”

Pearson: "It wasn't as simple as we thought it would be. ”

Shakespeare: "Why? ”

Pearson: "You see the couple of times we've had a few attacks, and even though they've created goals, they're not really good chances. VfL Wolfsburg continued to play at their own pace and they were much more determined than we expected......"

Shakespeare looked at the court again, thoughtful.

At this time on the court, Xia Xing's thoughts were the same as Pearson's.

Wolfsburg is not easy!

The game opened with a fierce attack, which was what Pearson demanded and the players agreed.

So Leicester City's attack was fierce in the opening period.

They want to try to score in the opening game and then be able to settle down and play slowly.

However, Leicester's several attacks have yielded nothing.

Not only that, but they don't actually have an absolute good chance.

Although the pass can reach the feet of the striker and create a shot on goal,

But Wolfsburg's defensive line was not chaotic at all and was very stable.

Even Leicester players shot within the opposition's safe zone.

And the defender also blocked some angles and positions, making it much easier for the goalkeeper to save.

In the face of such a defensive master, Leicester City really can't eat for a while.

Not only that, but Wolfsburg's attack was just as solid.

There are no particularly subtle passes and shots, but they are just flat and straightforward passes.

Every pass was steady and there were hardly any mistakes.

This puts a lot of pressure on the Leicester defence.

In the 15th minute of the game, an attack by Wolfsburg began.

The continuous cooperation in the middle and the precise passing found Calijuri on the front line.

Caligiuri suddenly pulls the side and crosses with his feet!

Olic slashes forward and stabs in front of goal!

This shot is neat!

The ball flew straight into the far corner of the goal!

Schmeichel jumps up quickly and punches out!

Leicester City escaped!
