Chapter 0172, SS-level star skill - heavy artillery bombardment!
On November 8, Leicester City ushered in the 11th round of the Premier League.
Away at Southampton.
Southampton have been in great form this season, especially in attack, which is great.
They are now eighth in the Premier League and have a good chance of qualifying for Europe.
Facing Leicester City at home, they will also aim for a win.
However, despite the victory, they still did not put on a fierce offensive posture, but played a steady defensive counterattack.
In the face of Southampton's quest for stability, Leicester City began to slowly press out.
Mahrez, in particular, is aggressively pushing forward.
But with his opponent's tight defense, it was difficult for him to make a difference.
In the 25th minute of the game, taking advantage of the end of Leicester City's wave of attacks, Southampton played a wonderful fast attack.
The initiator of this counterattack was young striker Sadio Mane.
He dropped back to get the ball, accelerated his sprint and headed straight for the Leicester half.
In the face of Cambiaso and Drinkwater's double pinch defense, he actually used dribbling and speed to break away from the defense!
You must know that the defense of these two is the best in the Premier League!
There are no more than five strikers who can pass both of them in the Premier League!
But Mane did.
He rushed to the box with the ball and in the face of the grabbing Delaette, he decisively pulled the ball to dodge the space.
Strong, but somewhat bulky, De La Eit was a step slower.
Sadio Mane decisively volleys into the far corner of the box from inside the box!
Insert the ball into the net!
1 to 0!
Southampton scored first!
Seeing Mane's wonderful performance, Carragher applauded vigorously.
"Beautiful!
"Such a wonderful possession of the ball,
"Such a subtle level of shooting,
"This young man has a bright future!"
Sadio Mane scored first and Southampton's game was easy.
They defended more recklessly, waiting for Leicester to press up.
Xia Xing has no passing space, Mahrez has no space to sprint, what other hole cards does Leicester have in the hole?
The Southampton player thought triumphantly.
But soon, they knew that Leicester City were not good to deal with.
In the 33rd minute, Mahrez accelerated along the right flank again, but was blocked again.
Although the style of the ball is unique, seeing that there is no space to cut forward, Mahrez still did not rush forward.
He knocked decisively!
At this time, Xia Xing appeared in front of the ball!
As soon as he saw Mahrez accelerate, Xia Xing rushed to the middle and quickly stepped forward!
Danny Drinkwater quickly stepped up to the left flank to prevent a counter-attack.
Mahrez's pass accurately found Xia Xing!
At this time, he was about 35 meters away from the goal, and there were defenders in front of him, and Xia Xing didn't have much room to move forward.
However, he had no intention of going any further.
Straight up, heavy artillery bombardment of the door!
Since Xia Xing's star skill "Heavy Artillery Bombardment" was upgraded from S-level to SS-level, he has never used it in an official match!
Now, give it a kick!
Although there are many defenders in front of him, the distance is not close, and Xia Xing has time to adjust his pace.
The angle control is also a little more stable.
Facing the goal, he did not hesitate and shot straight to the top right corner of the goal!
Goalkeeper Fraser Forster saw a flash in front of his eyes and the ball arrived!
He struggled to get up, but he was still a little behind......
"The ball is in!
"It was a fantastic shot!
"Brilliant volley from 35 meters away!
"It's simply wonderful!
"It's amazing to shoot from such a long distance and to be able to control the angle and speed!
"This is the best long-range shot I've seen this season!
"Full of violent aesthetics!
"Perfect!"
Listening to Alan Shearer's praise, Carragher next to him thought about a few words, but he still held back.
When it comes to shots, especially those powerful bursts of fire, who better to comment than Alan Shearer?
You must know that he was a famous heavy gunner in international football back then.
Strength is strong.
Carragher didn't speak, but Alan Shearer was still sighing.
'I'm familiar with Southampton's goalkeeper Foster today.
'Because he came through the Newcastle Academy.
"His counter-attacking speed, his ability to make saves, is at the top level of the Premier League.
"It's definitely a reflection of strength over fame.
"Just now he made a couple of good saves in a row.
But at this moment, in the face of Xia's long-range shot, he had no way to react at all.
"Don't say it's him, even the main goalkeepers of the 20 teams in the Premier League are counted,
"I also don't think anybody can save this shot.
"Xia was simply amazing.
'I even think he should play as a striker now.
"Maybe there will be more development that way."
In the live broadcast room, Alan Shearer was excited, and on the field, the away team fans also applauded non-stop.
Southampton has been holding on to this game, which has made Leicester City fans very unhappy.
Especially scoring a goal, which made them very anxious.
Coupled with the fact that Mahrez was blocked, it was even more urgent.
Well, now they've equalized!
And in this earth-shattering way!
It's just amazing!
Perfect!
1 to 1!
On the court, Xia Xing was surrounded and hugged by his teammates for a minute before letting go.
He was in a great mood.
Not only because of the goal, but also because this SS-level "heavy artillery bombardment" is really useful.
From the S-class to the SS-class, the two are indeed qualitative changes.
The S-level "heavy artillery bombardment" is a long-range shot with a higher success rate for Xia Xing, but it is not nine out of ten, and there are still many excellent goalkeepers who can save it.
But the SS-level "Heavy Artillery Bombardment" is definitely a super skill!
Xia Xing has a feeling that as long as he gives himself enough time and space to adjust, and within 30 meters, he has the confidence to blast any goal!
That's the power of a super long shot!
But that's just the beginning.
At the last moment of the first half of the game, Xia Xing once again exerted the power of SS-level heavy artillery bombardment!
Getting the ball in the midfield, Xia Xing suddenly accelerated with the ball!
In the face of Southampton's stubborn defense, Xia Xing must press it at the right time!
Schneiderlin quickly grabs!
Xia Xing changed direction smartly and accelerated!
Lightly passed the in-form French midfielder Schneiderlin!
It's about 35 meters from the goal, which is about the same as the position just now!
Adjust it and get another kick!
The foot feeling is up, and no one can stop it!
Almost the same way of power, almost the same angle and speed, straight to the top right corner of the goal!
But this time Foster chose a good position, he has a chance!
Jump hard, he's about to touch the ball!
The goalkeeper who was favored by Alan Shearer really had two hits!
"Xia has a blast again!
"It's a shot that's very similar to the one we had just started!
"Forster is on the right track!
He swept the ball with his fingertips!
"The ball hits the post and bounces back into the box!
"The ball didn't go in!
"Wait!
"This is Chris Wood!
"He got a shot before everybody!
"The ball is inserted into the net!
"It's Xia's wonderful long-range shot again!
"In the end, Kroswood's clever follow-up shot!
"2 to 1!
"Leicester City overtook the scoreline!
"It's getting more and more interesting!"
