Now the game has reached the 80th minute, and Leicester City is still trailing 0-1.
After Schlupp came on as a substitute, he was very active in the frontfield.
He frequently ran in the center and on the wings, pulling Fulham's defense apart. The new blood revitalized Leicester City.
And after a forward push, he almost scored from a long shot.
There was a gap, but the shot missed.
Shakespeare on the sidelines slapped his head: "When we go back we have to let him practice shooting. his shooting is too bad!"
Minutes later, a cross ball flew directly out of the baseline.
Pearson glanced at Shakespeare.
Shakespeare: "We also need to practice passing the ball as well...."
As the assistant coach in charge of training, Shakespeare felt embarrassed.
Although He failed to score consecutively, Fulham also paid attention to him.
In the backfield, defensive players were specially arranged to focus on Schlupp for zone defense.
Wherever Schlupp went, someone was watching.
Soon Schlupp was surrounded.
Pearson's eyes lit up on the sidelines of the court!
This is a great opportunity!
The wingman has completed his mission and successfully attracted the opponent's defense!
In the 82nd minute of the game, Schlupp got the ball on the left.
Two defensive players attacked!
Schlupp suddenly cuts inside and goes to the middle!
Sidwell rushed at him!
With three Players double-teaming him, Schlupp had no room at all!
However, this plays into Schlupp's hands!
Although his passing ability is average, short passes are still not a problem!
He Suddenly passed!
The ball flew back to the left again!
Rolling near the bottom line!
Xia Xing sprints quickly!
Just when the ball was about to roll out of the baseline, he got the ball back!
Man, your pass is so funny...
Xia Xing complained in his heart and kept moving.
Richardson immediately stepped forward and made a tackle!
Xia Xing gently picked up the ball and sprinted around!
Successful pick-up!
Xia Xing entered the penalty area!
Now only Senderos is left in the penalty area!
The other defender was occupied by other players, and Xia Xing and Senderos competed near the near corner of the goal!
Xia Xing made two consecutive fake moves at his feet!
Senderos was unmoved!
Senderos is not afraid of this kind of frontal one-on-one defense!
He is a star who has appeared in the Champions League final!
Xia couldn't wait any longer, the opponent's returning midfielder will be here soon!
Xia Xing was anxious, and he suddenly accelerated towards the bottom line!

However, Xia Xing insisted on resisting!
The two bodies squeezed hard, and Xia Xing exerted all his strength!

The fans finally relaxed after being tense for a long time!

Chris Wood, who scored the goal, rushed to Xia Xing excitedly and hugged him tightly!
"Xia! Your dribbling and assists are so beautiful!"
"Your header is still great! Even the Premier League goalkeepers can't stop you!"
"The Premier League defenders can't guard you! Hahahaha!"
On weekdays in the team Chris Wood, who is full of arrogance, doesn't have much contact with most people, but he has always had a good relationship with Xia Xing.
This is the connection between talented geniuses.
After scoring a goal, Leicester City was completely at ease.
Now Fulham is in a dilemma.
In a 1-1 draw, if Fulham cannot score another goal, even if the score is maintained, it will be dragged into overtime.
There is no rematch in the knockout rounds of the League Cup. In this case, Fulham, whose average age is older, will suffer a bit.
Especially at this stage, their team's physical fitness has dropped significantly.
And if they attack fiercely, they may also be counterattacked by their opponent and lose the ball.
After thinking for a moment, the Fulham coach made a decision!
Attack !!!
Hevwould rather take risks than boil a frog in warm water!
If he waits until overtime, it will be even more troublesome!
He also substituted to replace the striker!
Keep attacking!
Seeing Fulham's fierce attack, the corners of Pearson's mouth raised slightly on the sidelines.
Okay, this is the time he has been waiting for!
Leicester City's last substitution also came on.
De Laet, who suffered a serious decline in physical fitness, left the game and Whitbread came on.
The last substitution was used on the defensive line. It was obvious that Pearson wanted to fight a war of attrition.
Fulham attacks across the board!
They want to use the last moment to score another goal and end the game early!
Duff, Darren Bent and Kasami tried their best, gritting their teeth and attacking with the last bit of strength.
Duff broke through from the wing and shot inside!
Kasami unleashed a powerful shot from outside the penalty area!
Darren Bent took advantage of his speed and rushed into the penalty area to shoot towards the far corner!
Within five minutes, Fulham hit three threatening shots!
Schmeichel made high and low blocks, to keep them all out!
The game has reached the 88th minute and is only one step away from the end!
Fulham players were panting and their physical fitness was approaching its limit.
The thought of entering overtime made them anxious.
Duff sprinted with the ball again, using up his last strength!
But he just rushed towards the midfield, and the ball was intercepted in an instant!
It's Xia xing!
He came from the left to the center to help defend!
Although he also ran for nearly 90 minutes, Xia Xing's physical fitness was still excellent!
Stealing the ball in front of the penalty area and ruining Fulham's chance again!
At this moment, many Fulham players are near the Leicester City penalty area, and Xia Xing's front is empty!
Without hesitation, he accelerated with the ball!
The speed of 87 and the explosive power of 89 may not be at the top level in international football, but in this game, he is a god!
Especially at this moment, the opponent can no longer run, and Xia Xing is in a deserted place!
He Dribbled the ball through the center circle!
Sidwell pulls from behind!
Even if he gets a red card, he must be put down!
But Xia Xing broke free and threw Sidwell away!
Keep sprinting!

It's also a diagonal tackle from behind!
Xia Xing moves the ball forward!
Jump quickly!
Escaped the defense!
Now only Senderos is left in front of him!
Seeing Xia Xing rushing towards him, Senderos narrowed his eyes.
He was the one who just knocked him away and passed the ball, resulting in a goal.
Now, he's here again!
Boy, the ball or the player only one gets to pass through!
Senderos rushed forward and collided head-on!
He can't knock that African guy off, He could definitely knock this Asian off balance.
The Leicester City coach and substitute players stared wide-eyed on the sidelines!
