Leicester City stumbled out of the Europa League group and thought the knockout rounds would usher in a more fierce battle.

I didn't expect to win so easily.

Well, it's a good sign.

A few days later, in the draw for the quarter-finals, Leicester City drew another good draw.

This time they will face Zenit.

Although this opponent is not weak, it is not the top giants of the five major leagues after all, and Leicester City is confident that it will fight with the opponent.

But what is in front of us at the moment is a very important game.

League Cup Final!

The away game ended on 27 February, and the whole Leicester City squad took time to rest.

However, fortunately, most of the main players are rested in rotation, so the impact of the travel fatigue is not great.

Pearson's main concern is Xia Xing, Morgan and Schmeichel, who have just played in the Europa League.

All is well.

Morgan and Schmeichel didn't have much pressure in the last game, after all, the Bern youth team had no energy to attack in the second half, so Leicester City defended more easily.

And Xia Xing was also replaced after helping the team take a 2-1 lead.

I'm in good shape right now.

So in this EFL Cup final, Leicester City is bound to win!

Looking forward to reaching the top in one fell swoop!

For the summer trip, there is a new harvest recently.

It's been 10 days since I got the S-rank Giggs card, and the accumulation of five hours a day has been completed!

[S-class Giggs time accumulation is completed, the host absorbs it directly, or is it placed in the "card pool"?] 】

Direct absorption!

Xia Xing has now discovered the pattern, and the probability of this kind of characteristic player appearing star skills is extremely high!

Five minutes later, it was exactly as he expected.

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

[Offense: Shots, 89.] Passing, 85. Ball control, 90. Horizons, 71. Positioning, 82. set-pieces, 84. 】

[Body: Speed, 87.] Explosiveness, 89. Strength, 85. Bounce, 62. Physical Fitness, 95. reaction, 90. 】

[Defense: Man marking, 51.] Steal, 85. Goalkeeping, 13. 】

[Star skills: 1. Heavy artillery bombardment (SS level). 2. Substitute Wonder Soldier (S Rank). 3. The king is domineering (S-level). 】

[Star Skills: 4, Master of Tactics (SS Level)] 5. Master Passing (S level). 6. One ride is unbeatable (S-level). 】

[Comprehensive ability assessment: Grade A.] 】

[Card Pool: 1, Baggio (SS Rank)] 2. Puskas (SS class). 】

And so it was!

A new star skill has been added - S-Class "One Ride"!

For Xia Xing, who likes to break through on the left side, this skill is quite powerful!

It's great to get new skills ahead of the EFL Cup final!

March 2, evening, Wembley Stadium, London.

Leicester City are in full swing against London-grown side Tottenham Hotspur.

Tottenham fielded a 4-2-3-1 in this game.

The goalkeeper is Frenchman Lloris.

Back four: Ben Davies, Vertonghen, Facio, Dier.

Double-back Paulinho, Ryan Mason.

Three midfielders Dembele, Eriksen, Lamela.

Centre Harry Kane.

Also on the bench are Shazli, Soldado, Kirikesh, Bentaleb, Danny Rose, Adebayo and other strong players.

But in terms of squad depth, Tottenham are far ahead of Leicester City.

Especially the strength of the midfielders, it is absolutely rich in the lineup.

Eriksen is a good passer and is the heart of Tottenham's midfield.

Lamela has excellent individual skills and a first-class level of dribbling in the Premier League.

Paulinho is defensive, can attack, and has a set of forward shots.

Dembele is also a master of dribbling and has a strong attacking ability.

Especially in the front line, there is Harry Kane as England's number one striker.

After Wayne Rooney slowly faded out of the England national team, Harry Kane has emerged as a new hope for England's attack.

Standing in the middle of the pitch, Vardy gritted his teeth.

Mahrez patted him on the shoulder: "What's wrong with you?" ”

"As soon as I think about the last game, I get angry!" Vardy kicked the turf hard.

In the last game, he was tackled by Lamela and unfortunately retired injured.

Xia Xing nodded: "Yes, we have a lot of chances in that game, if you are on the field, the result will definitely not be 0-0." ”

Jamie Vardy: "This game has to them!" ”

Mahrez: "Gotta them!" ”

Xia Xing didn't speak, but swung his fist hard.

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

Leicester City remained in a familiar 4-4-2 formation, starting with a conservative and steady formation.

Tottenham, on the other hand, did not rush into the game and had the opportunity to possess the ball in midfield and wait for the moment to step forward and observe Leicester City.

There was no attacking performance from either side for the first 10 minutes, and neither side even had a shot on goal.

From the 11th minute, Tottenham suddenly made a force!

They seem to have seen through Leicester's defence and are sure.

The ball was at the feet of Paulinho, and the Brazilian midfielder suddenly dribbled forward!

Although he was in the midfield position in this game, his frequent forward insertion and running made his position very flexible.

Veteran Cambiaso didn't keep up!

Paulinho crosses Dembele!

Dembele pulls the ball away from Mahrez's pressing!

Diagonal cross to the middle again!

Paulinho goes with the ball!

But he didn't touch the ball!

Instead, he went around the ball and went straight into the box!

Eriksen behind him receives the ball!

He's a clever picker!

Paulinho volleys in the box!

The ball grazed the crossbar and flew into the stands!

Just a little bit!

Leicester fans in the stands exclaimed.

I didn't expect Tottenham's first shot to be so threatening today!

And Paulinho's forward insertion is really wonderful!

Carragher in the live broadcast room couldn't stop praising it.

"This Tottenham team is truly talented. In addition to the pillar connection between Kane and Eriksen, Paulinho's all-round skills are also a big reliance on Tottenham. And Lamela, who hasn't performed in this game yet. ”

Before the words fell, Lamela's performance began.

The ball was passed to Lamela's feet and he suddenly started!

The agile movement directly passed Vardy, who was actively grabbing!

Vardy was tackled by Lamela in the last game, and he looked at this Argentine kid very unpleasantly!

But because of his impatience, Vardy's tackle was not successful, and instead robbed Drinkwater's position.

Lamela saw that the front was empty and sprinted with the ball decisively!

But he had just taken two steps and was directly put down by someone's side!

It's a summer trip!

He quickly sprinted to fill in the position and put the tackle decisively!

This tackle is the first to touch the ball, no foul!

Just before the ball went out of bounds, Xia Xing hooked it with his foot and stabbed it forward quickly!

The ball flew exactly towards Vardy!

At this time, because of Lamela's forward insertion, the whole Tottenham team has started the speed!

Rear air defense is empty!

Jamie Vardy catches the ball!

Don't hesitate to sprint with the ball!

Ben Davis on the grab!

But Vardy passed him in one acceleration!

Facio blocks Vardy's forward angle!

Vardy deftly crosses and flashes the angle!

Volley!

The ball is inserted into the dead corner!

1 to 0!

Leicester open the scoring and break the deadlock!
