Running onto the pitch from the players' tunnel, Kante said a word to Xia Xing sincerely.

"Xia, thank you."

None of the other teammates understood what this word of thanks meant.

Only Xia Xing is clear.

He patted Kante on the shoulder: "Man, you're definitely the best defensive midfielder I've ever seen, not one of them. ”

Kante's eyes sparkled.

The referee's whistle blows and the game continues.

Atletico were in a good mood to score in the first half and they wanted to continue their onslaught in the second half and try to secure an early victory.

Antoine Griezmann receives a pass from Cork and passes forward to Torres.

Then he cut diagonally to the right around Kanter.

But unexpectedly, Torres turned his back to pass the ball and was directly tackled by Kante!

Griezmann didn't react at all!

Lost the ball!

N'Golo Kante crosses diagonally to the right!

Mahrez sprints quickly and catches the ball!

Jamie Vardy up front has also picked up speed!

This time Mahrez did not choose to dribble the ball individually!

A long pass to the back point!

Vardy volleys in!

The ball hits the outside of the post and bounces into the net!

Oblak failed to react this time!

The goalpost at the Metropolitano Stadium saved them!

Simeone on the side of the pitch was in a cold sweat!

It's too sinister!

If the team concedes at this point, it will be a real problem.

Leicester City's current goals are away goals, one from the top two.

If you concede a goal at this stage, it will also be a huge blow to the team's morale.

You know, in this situation, it's really difficult to break down Leicester's goal.

Three minutes later, Saul sprinted with the ball on the right side and was directly knocked away by Xia Xing!

This summer trip didn't even play technical work!

It's just to fight the body!

95 points of power, 90 points of steals, 89 points of explosiveness!

Such defensive ability, even defending Vieri has a fight!

After breaking the ball, Xia Xing did not hesitate to sprint with the ball!

Straight to the front!

Atletico rushed to the three-man bag!

But Xia Xing is not alone!

Pick up the pass with the outside instep and pass to the top of the arc of the penalty area!

Drinkwater plugs in the back row and volleys into the air!

The ball grazed the crossbar and flew into the stands!

Again Oblak did not react!

Two attacks in a row, although no goals were scored, but the Atletico Madrid soldiers were scared!

Simeone reacts quickly!

Retreat in formation, solid defense!

At this stage, Simeone is well aware of the situation.

Scoring a goal is half as good value for money as conceding a goal.

Definitely can't give Leicester City an away goal!

Looking at the Leicester players on the pitch, Simeone was a little puzzled.

What's the situation?

Why is it that just after a short break at halftime, the temperament of the team seems to have changed?

Kante, in particular, seemed steady and obscure in the first half, and was aggressive in the second half!

Was it who provoked him at halftime......

In addition to him, Drinkwater and Xia Xing's defensive scrambling has also increased a lot.

Leicester City's midfield defenders are now untouched and they are worried about the way forward.

Besides, if you worry about the future, there may not be a future.

The Champions League final, everyone is looking forward to it, there must be no mistakes!

In the following period, the offensive range of both sides weakened.

In the midfield area, continue to shop!

N'Golo Kante completely sealed Griezmann and single-handedly broke Leicester's midfield connection bearing!

Drinkwater was a sweeper in midfield, and his ferocious tackles were a headache for the rough Atletico players.

In the future, whoever says that we play football dirty, let him see this guy!

He's the dirty!

And Xia Xing is in the midfield, and he is even more ubiquitous.

With his invincible physical condition, Xia Xing's running did not spare any physical strength.

It is often on the left side that has just completed the tackle, and it will be the second point in front of the penalty area.

Atletico Madrid's attacking players had a headache when they saw Xia Xing.

Three top midfielders have joined forces, and Leicester City's defence is impregnable!

Seeing the wonderful defense of his teammates, even Mahrez made a flying tackle to show the spikes!

"Toot!"

The referee's whistle blows and a yellow card is shown!

Xia Xing was so frightened that he hurriedly dragged Mahrez over: "Dude, don't make trouble." We're fine defensively, but you eat cards as soon as you defend? ”

Mahrez: "I'm not trying to help you. ”

Xia Xing: "Don't be, you better go to the front to attack, put a little pressure on the opponent, even if it helps us defend." ”

Vardy: "That's it, you can't defend, come and cooperate with me." ”

Mahrez: "Okay, okay......"

The two sides are still fighting in the midfield, and the occasional counterattack also affects the hearts of fans on both sides.

The clock ticked and the game was 85 minutes in.

Both sides have already used up their three substitutions, with neither Ranieri nor Simeone planning to stay until extra-time.

If you don't fight now, you may not be able to make overtime!

Leicester City, on the other hand, had already passively used up two substitutions in the first half.

The last substitution was used on Fox.

Claudio Ranieri brought on veteran Cambiaso, sent Albrighton back to play full-back, and sent Cambiasso to midfield.

In this way, Leicester's midfield is more rigid.

Summer Walk, Kante, Drinkwater, Cambiaso.

This set of combos is absolutely top-notch!

To fight and grab, to have momentum, to have speed, to have experience.

Such a combination of four backs made Atletico a little desperate.

It's still attacking......

Just after the Atletico players' attack was disrupted, it was Cambiaso who stepped up again!

Same as the previous game, Cambiaso received the second point smartly and decisively knocked it sideways!

Xia Xing controls the ball on the left side!

Atletico are defending desperately again!

Like a great enemy!

You must know that Xia Xing often creates Longtan in the final stage of the game and scores a killer goal!

Don't give him a chance to sprint now!

However, will this be able to defend against Leicester's attack?

There is no summer trip, and Mahrez!

Xia Xing swung his legs in the crowd and swayed the football from side to side continuously to attract the defense.

Then suddenly get up and pass to the right front!

Mahrez has accelerated his sprint ahead of schedule!

He has already run past full-back Lucas Hernandez!

Although Hernandez had just come off the bench and was in excellent fitness, Mahrez accelerated early!

He shook off his opponent a few positions!

Catch the ball and rush into the box!

Jamie Vardy runs in the middle!

Mahrez decisively volleys into the near corner!

Goalkeeper Oblak has made a meritorious service!

He clamped his legs and the ball was blocked!

Fly to the other side!

At this time, Xia Xing had already thrown off the crowd and rushed to the landing point of the ball at the fastest speed!

Godin decisively put the shovel!

But it's still some way from the ball!

Xia Xing meets the ball!

Don't stop the ball, get up and volley!

He hit a lift shot!

The ball flies high and then goes down fast!

Go straight to the near corner of the goal!

Oblak was too late to get up, he could only watch the ball fall and pray for it to go out!

His prayers didn't work!

The ball crashes into the net!

"The ball went in !!!!!"
