Star Card System

This summer, many classic scenes of the 2014 World Cup are still praised by fans.

For example, the final penalty shootout in the quarter-finals of the Netherlands team.

A substitute goalkeeper was ordered to play in a critical moment, but he unexpectedly became the one who saved the Tulip Army.

He made two consecutive saves to keep the goal intact, helping the team eliminate Costa Rica 4-3 and advance to the final.

He became the hero of that game.

He is the Dutch genius goalkeeper-Krul.

He debuted from the Dutch club ADO Den Haag and grew up in the Newcastle youth training camp.

Krul is Newcastle's own.

In today's game, facing the top Leicester City, he was under great defensive pressure.

But Krul did not play poorly.

He used his wonderful performance to prove to everyone that the performance in the World Cup was not a coincidence.

Vardy's single shot, Ulloa's burst shot in front of the goal, and Mahrez's arc ball.

All were resolved by Krul one by one.

Even Xia Xing's two accurate long shots were blocked by Krul outside the goal line.

Krul was simply amazing in this game.

Especially in the 76th minute of the game, Leicester City got a penalty kick.

Vardy, who has always been steady, still shot straight into the dead corner.

But unexpectedly, Krul predicted early, moved early, stretched his body, and fished the ball out before it went into the dead corner.

Leicester City missed the penalty kick!

Krul received thunderous applause from the audience!

After saving the penalty kick, Newcastle performed even more bravely.

They even had a chance to score in the counterattack, but fortunately Xia Xing returned to defense in time.

In the end, Leicester City, who attacked with all their strength, failed to take away three points away from home.

When the referee blew the whistle, Alan Shearer in the live broadcast room exclaimed: "Newcastle performed very well today! They stopped the powerful Leicester City! I believe Newcastle will successfully stay in the league and get back on track!"

A draw ended Leicester City's Premier League winning streak.

Despite this, Leicester City's seven consecutive wins at the start of the Premier League are still a historic existence.

And they are still at the top of the Premier League, and there is still a great chance to reach the top four of the Premier League this season.

On October 18, they drew with Newcastle, and on October 23, the European war resumed.

In the third round of the Europa League, Leicester City played away against Krasnodar.

In this game, Leicester City still played with all the main players.

You should know that their previous two games were all draws. If they don’t grab points, then the hope of promotion will be slim.

And Krasnodar is Leicester City’s key point.

Today the Foxes must win!

However, the course of the game surprised all the Foxes fans.

They got into trouble.

Not long after the game started, Mahrez passed two people and was tripped in the penalty area.

I thought it was a penalty, but the referee penalized a dive and gave Mahrez a yellow card.

This made Leicester City very unhappy!

Five minutes later, in a wing defense, Mahrez was a little anxious and knocked down the opponent, and received another yellow card.

Two yellow cards turned into one red card!

Mahrez was sent off!

Despite the protests from the coaching staff and players, the referee had no intention of changing the decision.

A few minutes later, coach Pearson was also sent to the stands by the referee for his loud complaints.

With one man less and the coach not there, Leicester City was in big trouble.

Although Krasnodar was weaker, they still seized the opportunity in the face of the chaotic Leicester City.

After all, there is no real weak team that can make it to the Europa League.

In a chaotic battle of a corner kick, Krasnodar scored a goal.

1-0!

Krasnodar leads the score!

Next, assistant coach Shakespeare on the sidelines temporarily adjusted the formation to let Leicester City, who was one man less, continue to attack.

But even so, they still failed to overtake the score.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the Krasnodar players cheered!

They finally won this game!

Great!

After two consecutive defeats, they finally got three points!

Now they have climbed to the third place in the group!

There is still a chance to advance!

But the Leicester City players were in a very bad mood.

This game was really a loss of both the ball and the face.

Pearson was sent to the stands and Mahrez was sent off.

The team also lost the ball.

Now they have two draws and one loss in three games, with 2 points, ranking at the bottom of the group.

It is a little more difficult to get a chance to qualify.

Not only that, the team will play again in the Premier League in three days.

Today's main players have consumed too much physical energy, and the next game is full of difficulties.

Because they play one less player, the running distance of each person has increased a lot, and the physical fitness has dropped seriously.

The next game will be even more difficult to play.

On October 26, Leicester City ushered in the ninth round of the Premier League.

Away game against Swansea.

This opponent is not strong, but Leicester City can't arrange a full lineup.

In this game, Pearson let most of the main attackers play and let many defensive main players rest.

Pearson hoped that this game could become an offensive battle.

But the accident happened again.

In the 15th minute of the game, Vardy was knocked down by the opponent in a scramble and fell to the ground.

The team doctor went on the field to check and found a big problem.

After a careful check after leaving the field, it was basically determined that it was an ankle sprain.

Pearson was very anxious: "How long will it take to recover?"

The team doctor estimated: "About a month."

"Alas..." Pearson sighed.

I have been really unlucky during this period.

Chris Wood came on as a substitute and Leicester City continued to attack.

However, this unexpected adjustment disrupted the rhythm of Leicester City.

An unexpected free kick defense, the ball hit the leg of substitute central defender St. Leger and bounced into his own goal.

1-0, Swansea scored the first goal.

Misfortunes never come alone.

Before the end of the game, Leicester City took advantage of a counterattack opportunity and Mahrez scored a goal.

1-1!

Leicester City equalized the score!

But it was too late.

Vardy was not on the field in this game, and Leicester City lost an extremely sharp attacking point.

Xia Xing's organization of passes also lacked a counterattack point, and the effect declined.

Mahrez performed well, but he was closely guarded by the opponent and did not do much.

If it were not for Swansea's defensive loopholes at the last moment, Mahrez might not have scored any goals.

The referee blew the whistle and the game was over.

1-1, Leicester City and Swansea tied.

In the live broadcast room, Carragher had an expression of "I knew this would be the result."

"When Leicester City won consecutive Premier League games,

"I knew their good luck was about to run out.

"In the last three games, two draws and one loss,

"Leicester City was completely beaten back to its original form.

"This is the real strength of Leicester City..."
