It was a timely boost on the eve of the game against Arsenal.

April 21, evening, Emirates Stadium.

Tens of thousands of fans are eagerly awaiting the victory of their favorite team.

Compared to the two sides, it is natural that there are more Gunners fans.

And a lot more.

For a small team like Leicester City, in addition to their own fans, at most some rivals are there to cheer them on.

That's all.

How does a perennial team that has been in the lower leagues compare with the famous Arsenal?

Arsene Wenger is looking forward to this game.

The Gunners are all in the fight!

At this stage, they are basically holding on to the top four.

Unless Leicester City win all the league games next, after all, Arsenal have lost consecutive games to lose the top four places.

And they have a fourth place Manchester United behind them.

Arsenal's third place in the league is solid.

And after the Champions League exit, their only title expectation is this FA Cup title.

At the end of the season, you have to give the fans some explanation.

Arsene Wenger is looking forward to the title.

And the same is true for Leicester City.

Looking at the players warming up on the field, Shakespeare thought it was funny: "You said this season was really interesting. ”

Pearson asked, "How?" ”

"You think, we were originally promoted horses, and we should aim for relegation, but we ended up winning seven consecutive league games and almost competing for the championship."

"The first two months were really fierce."

"It was our first time in Europe, and we were supposed to be involved in the experience of gaining experience, but we reached the quarter-finals in one go, and we were in the semi-finals immediately."

"This season's Europa League stage has really been a big surprise for us.

"Then there was the domestic cup competition, we were thinking of giving up strategically, and most of the time we were substitutes, but we didn't expect to win the League Cup and the FA Cup to the semi-finals. Tell me how much fun we've had this season. ”

Pearson also smiled: "yes, according to the current situation, if I go back in time to the beginning of the season and tell myself about this achievement, I think I will be crazy." ”

"Who's to say it isn't. Fifth in the Premier League, Europa League quarter-finals, League Cup winners, FA Cup semi-finals. Such an achievement is truly dazzling. ”

"So for all the next races, I wasn't particularly particular about the results. Give it your all and just go with the flow. ”

"That's right!"

Pearson said so, and the reality is also what he did.

Because the Europa League is played in three days' time, you have to rotate today.

Players in many positions in the three lines are rested in rotation.

For example, Cambiaso and Drinkwater in midfield were replaced by Albrighton and James.

James went down the left and returned to his old position, flanking Riyad Mahrez on the wings.

Xia Xing plays a central lane with Albrighton.

At the back, Koncheski and Simpson were replaced by Hout and Moore.

Ulloa in the front line was also replaced by Kramaric.

With such a lineup, the finishing strength must have declined a little, but Leicester City has no choice.

If you want to stay as competitive as possible in a dense schedule, you have to balance the quality of your players.

Against a strong Arsenal, they face a great threat today.

From the first minute, they were pressed by Arsenal.

Walcott, the little tiger, appears to be very active today.

Up front, he used his pace to attack Moore's right flank.

Compared to Simpson, Moore's advantage is in his ability to assist, rather than pure defense.

Therefore, Xia Xing can only frequently withdraw to assist in defense, and does not give Walcott a chance to start.

Once Theo Walcott had passed midfield, there was Huth in the box to assist in the build-up.

Little Tiger shot two shots from outside the penalty area in a row, and all of them slid out of the door.

Although there is a threat, it is still within the defensive control of Leicester City.

However, Sanchez's shot a few minutes later almost opened the scoring.

Compared to Walcott's sheer speed, Sanchez has absolute technique.

His possession, passing, dribbling and shooting ability are even in the top three of the current Premier League attacking players.

This is also a statement that has been recognized by countless experts.

He's a proper Arsenal thigh.

Rosicky passes the ball to Sanchez, who pulls the ball to the left and suddenly dribbles to the right!

Circle around Albrighton in a semicircle and sprint fast!

About 30 meters from the goal, he curled the ball!

The ball hangs in the corner!

Schmeichel jumped early and rubbed the ball with his fingertips!

The ball hits the lintel and pops off the bottom line!

It's just a little bit off.

Leicester fans were in shock, and soon Arsenal's attack was back up.

This time it was Ramsey and Cazorla who combined and ended up with the ball in the hands of centre-forward Sanogo.

Sanogo turns and shoots in the box!

There is no trick, just a straight kick!

Schmeichel didn't have any chance to react at all, he just instinctively pushed with his hand!

The ball was lucky to be blocked by him!

If it weren't for the shot being too positive, I'm afraid Leicester would have fallen behind.

In the face of Arsenal's onslaught, Leicester City defended very badly.

But they also fought back.

Xia Xing provided the assist for Vardy's long ball, and Vardy's burst shot from outside the box grazed the post.

Narrowly missed the net.

Mahrez took the ball on the right and suddenly stepped forward, and Moore behind him stepped forward decisively to cooperate.

Eventually, under Moore's pull to attract defensive cover, Mahrez took his foot from outside the box and fired into the far corner.

The ball was punched out by the Arsenal goalkeeper.

Leicester counter-attacked twice and were both threatening.

But he couldn't score either.

The whistle blew at the end of the first half, and the score was still 0-0.

In the second half, Arsenal still attacked, and Leicester City remained firm.

Until the 70th minute, Mahrez and Vardy were both showing fatigue.

Pearson decisively replaced the two.

After all, they still have to deal with Rome in the next game.

The newcomers Andy Kim and Konoket were very active up front, but it was difficult to achieve the offensive effect just now.

But that's enough.

When Arsenal's defensive attention was on the two substitute players, Xia Xing suddenly started!

He was defending in central midfield throughout the game, and after tackling Mesut Ozil, he suddenly accelerated with the ball!

This change in rhythm caught the Arsenal midfielder by surprise!

I could only watch Xia Xing quickly rush through the middle circle!

Straight in the direction of the forbidden area!

Several defenders hurriedly stepped in to grab the position!

But Xia Xing didn't move forward, he shot directly with his feet!

About 38 meters away from the goal, Xia Xing shot a long shot!

Just reached the shooting attribute of 90 points, and the power attribute of 90 points!

Plus the SS-rank star skill "Full Moon Scimitar"!

Xia Xing's shot crossed the night sky of the Emirates Stadium!

Straight into the top right corner of the goal!

Absolute dead end!

The ball goes into the net!

1 to 0!

Leicester City finally break the deadlock!

In the bursting cheers of the Leicester City fans in the stadium, Wenger tugged his clothes!

Even the zipper was broken again!

"This summer, we have to buy him!"
