"I heard you won against Manchester United? 》

That's the front-page headline in the Leicester Evening News on February 17.

Countless excited fans bought the collection.

Ahead of this game, PSV Eindhoven boss Koku vowed to let us see what they are capable of.

The result?

At their home stadium, a 4-2 win was won!

Four away goals, two clean sheets!

They have one foot on the threshold of the Champions League quarter-finals!

You know, Eindhoven's strongest defense is the overall defense, and their attack is not particularly good, that is, the counter-attack strength is good.

In other words, when the second leg returns to home, as long as Leicester City plays steadily, it will enter the quarterfinals of the Champions League!

With a win over PSV Eindhoven, Leicester City were in a great mood.

Now they're really proud.

The league title is almost in the bag, and it's fantastic to have that performance in the Champions League for the first time.

Every step in the next step is a step to continue to create miracles!

Returning on 18 February, Ranieri simply gave his players two days off.

Let everyone have a good rest.

Even though there is still a game on February 21, Ranieri doesn't care.

On 21 February, Leicester City will travel to London again to face Crystal Palace.

It was the fifth round of the FA Cup, and Ranieri still had an almost all of the substitutes in his line-up.

He asked Xia Xing again if he needed to rest, and Xia Xing said simply.

No breaks! Keep kicking!

All right.

Ranieri naturally agreed.

You know, Xia Xing is a treasure in Ranieri's heart now.

Against PSV Eindhoven, Leicester City were able to win 4-2, with Xia Xing being the biggest hero.

With three shots and one pass, he was involved in all the team's goals.

You know, it's a Champions League knockout round!

Scoring a hat-trick in this kind of competition and defeating the old European powerhouse, Xia Xing's strength has long been recognized by the world.

Ranieri knows better than anyone that if the team does not have a summer trip, then all glory is probably impossible.

The league may be possible, after all, N'Golo Kante, Vardy and Mahrez have all performed well, and even if they don't have a summer trip, they have the strength to fight for a long season.

But in the Champions League, if there was no Xia Xing, it would never have been possible to get here.

Even the group stage couldn't qualify.

A total of 7 games have been played in the Champions League this season, and Xia Xing has become the team's hero seven times!

Look at his goal stats – 12 goals!

What horrible data!

In the history of the Champions League, this is also an explosive existence!

A new team in the Champions League, is there going to be a Champions League scorer king?

With his excellent ability to score goals, Xia Xing forcibly pulled Leicester City forward.

Victory over Real Madrid, sweep Benfica, Nick Eindhoven!

Such an achievement is extremely dazzling!

Therefore, even though Ranieri agreed to play in the domestic cup at the beginning of the season, he is still advised to rest more.

If he is injured in the domestic cup competition, then Ranieri really wants to cry without tears.

However, Xia Xing insisted on appearing.

On 21 February, at Selhurst Park, Leicester City played away against Crystal Palace.

In this game, in addition to the summer trip, Leicester City came on as a substitute.

Andy King, Shinji Okazaki, Inle, James, De La Eit, Ben Aruane, Chilwell......

Although it is a lot worse than the starting lineup, the fighting spirit is not weak at all.

Leicester opened the scoring as soon as the game began.

Xia Xing made a long diagonal pass and found James who was inserted forward.

James stopped the ball and shot directly on the line of the penalty area!

The ball goes straight to the far corner!

1 to 0!

Leicester open the scoring!

James, who scored the goal, rushed to Xia Xing excitedly, and the two hugged tightly!

With a goal in hand, Leicester also played more relaxed.

Palace also had some chances ahead, but a couple of centre-backs did quite well and defused them all.

Leicester also had a couple of quick attacks that were very threatening, just a little close.

In the 81st minute of the game, Xia Xing cruised from the middle to the left side.

He connected three people and pressed close to the goal!

Was it another brilliant solo goal?

Just in the expectant eyes of the Leicester City fans, Xia Xing suddenly stuffed the ball out!

Delaette, who was inserted in the back row, sprinted quickly and volleyed directly without stopping the ball!

At this moment, he looks like the former Robert Carlos!

The ball hits the far corner of the goal!

2 to 0!

Leicester City win!

De La Ette, who scored the goal, hugged Xia Xing tightly, and James on the side also rushed over!

Holding the two brothers in his arms, Xia Xing felt a little emotional.

This season, the team has brought in a number of strong reinforcements, and Leicester City's former "Red Devils three stars" only Drinkwater is still in the starting lineup.

De la Ette was squeezed out of the starting spot by Fox, and James has already become Mahrez's backup.

But despite this, they still train hard, don't drop the chain, and sprint with all their might.

In the limited playing time, he played his strongest strength and helped the team win.

At this time, on the sidelines of the pitch, there was also thunderous applause in front of the Leicester City coach's box.

Ranieri nodded in satisfaction, this group of substitutes is really trying.

"Coach?"

"Huh?"

"I want to play."

"Hmm...... Good. ”

In the 85th minute of the game, Leicester City used up the last substitution.

Inle goes off and Drinkwater comes off the bench!

Seeing Brother Drinking Water on the field, Xia Xing smiled.

You guy, you want the three brothers to get together all at once.

Running to the midfield, Drinkwater high-fived Xia Xing.

"Man, we're called mid lane partners again."

"Yes, it's rare, I have to cherish it."

"Haha!"

The pair were also often paired in the middle of the pitch last season, and since N'Golo Kante joined the team this season, Kante and Danny Drinkwater have become an ironclad two-man midfield pairing.

Now, Xia Xing and Drinkwater are together again.

With a two-goal lead and five minutes to go, Leicester just need to hold on.

Crystal Palace's onslaught after wave of onslaught at Leicester's backline.

But time and time again, it was to no avail.

In the first minute of stoppage time, Drinkwater broke the ball at the back.

Simply and directly, interrupting Crystal Palace's counterattack.

This time, though, he didn't rush to pass the ball, pausing slightly.

Xia Xing instantly understood!

He decisively speeded up!

At this time, there are still physical sprints to counterattack, and only themselves are left!

Sprint forward and cross the middle circle!

Drinkwater's pass delivered accurately!

Xia Xing stopped the ball and blasted the ball forward!

The two central defenders on the opposite side were directly scattered!

Sprint quickly to catch the ball and accelerate diagonally with the ball again!

Pass the goalkeeper!

Push the empty goal!

The ball is in!

3 to 0!

Leicester beat Crystal Palace!

Xia Xing rushed to the middle circle and hugged Drinkwater tightly!

Delaette and James also rushed up!

Four brothers, join forces again!

FA Cup, smooth qualification!
