Star Card System

Zenit was in a state of disarray in this match.

It had already entered injury time, and they were still trailing 3-5.

The total score was even 3-6 behind.

There was no chance at all.

In the live broadcast room, Carragher analyzed Zenit's style of play.

"In fact, to be fair, Zenit's overall strength is not weaker than Leicester City.

"No, it should be said that it is stronger than Leicester City.

"But in this match, they did not play to their full potential.

"Especially the midfield and backcourt defense, which was useless.

"This is related to their first leg match.

"In the last match, Leicester City's offense was obviously weak, which gave Zenit's defense an illusion.

"They thought Leicester City was just at this level.

"Today's sudden outbreak made them a little overwhelmed.

"At the King Power Stadium, Leicester City was holding back a lot of energy,

"even gave up the previous league game, and also wanted to beat Zenit today.

"They won.

"The referee whistled, and Leicester City won the game 5-3.

"Finally, they advanced to the quarterfinals of the Europa League with a total score of 6-3.

"To be honest, I didn't expect that Leicester City would be so lucky this season and could actually reach the quarterfinals of the Europa League."

Alan Shearer didn't like to hear this.

"Man, I don't like what you said. What is good luck?

"Lucky to score 6 goals in two rounds against the Russian Premier League champion?

"Are you kidding me?"

"Look at this season's Champions League,

"Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal, the three teams that qualified from the group,

"All were eliminated in the quarterfinals!

"There is no Premier League team in the Champions League quarterfinals!

"Look at the Europa League quarterfinals, there is only one Premier League team, Leicester City!

"It is no exaggeration to say that Leicester City is the only fig leaf for the Premier League European War this season!

"If you criticize them in the European War, it is really wrong!"

Alan Shearer's words were very firm, and Carragher stopped talking.

It is true.

This season, the Premier League teams are not doing well in the European competition, and only Leicester City is the only one left.

Look at the quarterfinals of the Europa League, they are all strong teams.

Sevilla, Napoli, Roma, Wolfsburg...

Although they are not the top teams in their respective leagues, they are also quite strong.

In the end, Leicester City could not avoid opponents from the top five leagues in the draw.

Roma!

This is their quarterfinal opponent!

Although they are strong, Leicester City does not care.

In fact, they are already quite happy after they entered the quarterfinals of the Europa League.

No, it should be said that they are very happy after qualifying from the group.

After that, every extra step and every little progress is very pleasant.

Although Roma is strong, we will still do it!

But before that, Leicester City still has a few Premier League games to play.

In the 30th, 31st and 32nd rounds of the league, Leicester City will play against Tottenham, West Ham and West Brom respectively.

The schedule of these three games is not dense, and Leicester City still has time to rest.

But I don't know if it was because of the disruption of the rhythm, Leicester City encountered big trouble in these three games.

In the 30th round of the league, Leicester City played against Tottenham at White Hart Lane.

As the opponent who snatched their League Cup championship, Tottenham hated Leicester City.

Regardless of the outcome of this game, the ball was played really dirty.

Mahrez was knocked down by the opponent's defender Dale just after the game started.

Directly injured.

After the team doctor's diagnosis, he was injured for half a month.

This made the players on both sides of the court very angry!

Vardy even pushed and shoved with the opponent and almost fought!

Although it did not cause big trouble, he also received a yellow card.

It's not over yet.

In the 33rd minute of the first half, Vardy rushed into the penalty area and was knocked down by Lamela.

The referee did not say anything.

This completely angered Vardy!

Last time he was tackled by Lamela and was injured for a month!

Now he was tackled again, and it was not a foul?

He grabbed Lamela's collar and glared at him!

Lamela was not to be outdone!

The referee blew the whistle again!

In the end, both players received a yellow card.

Vardy was sent off with two yellow cards.

Just after half an hour, Leicester City was one man short.

And Mahrez was injured.

Their offense encountered big trouble.

Before the end of the first half, Eriksen made a long pass and accurately found Harry Kane.

The English striker scored a low shot in the penalty area.

1-0.

Leicester City fell behind.

In the second half, Tottenham continued to attack.

Although Xia Xing frequently interrupted the opponent's attack with his personal defense, the number disadvantage could not be remedied.

In the 77th minute of the game, Lamela passed two players on the right and assisted with a flower kick.

Harry Kane made a shovel shot in the penalty area and the ball went into the net again.

2-0.

This score also became the final score.

Leicester City lost the league and lost people.

A few days later, in the 31st round of the Premier League, Leicester City played against West Ham at home.

In this game, the Foxes attacked all the way, but they could not get through for a long time.

Mahrez was injured and Vardy was suspended due to a red card.

Xia Xing passed the ball frequently, but the striker could not break the opponent's defense.

And in the 69th minute of the game, West Ham scored a goal with a set-piece in the frontcourt.

The ball bounced around in front of the goal, and Schmeichel was powerless.

In the end, Leicester City lost 0-1 in this game.

A few days later, in the 32nd round of the Premier League, Leicester City played away against West Bromwich Albion.

Facing the opponent they had just won in the sixth round of the FA Cup some time ago, they were confident of ending their losing streak.

Especially with Vardy returning to the team, Pearson was more confident.

But in this game, Leicester City still had no chance to score, and Vardy was also weird, repeatedly missing shots.

The opponent relied on two counterattacks to break through Leicester City's goal in succession.

Although Xia Xing scored a 38-meter long shot in the final stage of the game, he still failed to equalize the score.

1-2, Leicester City lost again.

A wave of three consecutive league defeats made Leicester City completely lose its fourth place in the league.

Overtaken by Manchester United.

Not only that, their fifth place in the league is tied with the sixth place Tottenham, only the difference in goal difference.

Even Liverpool, the seventh place in the league, is only two points away from them.

If they lose another game, let alone the Champions League seat, they may even lose the Europa League seat.

Leicester City is in trouble.

The Europa League has just entered the quarterfinals, and the whole team is jubilant.

The league here is in danger again, standing on the edge of the cliff.

It's really mixed.

How to balance the team's playing time on various fronts in the next period of time is something Pearson needs to seriously consider.

Leicester City is now facing a huge test.

But for Xia Xing, he still has new gains...
