Chapter 168 Lost Points, Red Card, Injured Retirement
In the 2014 World Cup that just passed this summer, many classic bridges are still praised by fans.

Such as the quarter-finals of the Dutch team, the final penalty shootout.

A substitute goalkeeper was ordered to appear on the stage when he was in danger. Unexpectedly, he became the one who saved the Tulip Legion.

Two consecutive pounces, trying to keep the goal, helped 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 Eredivisie club Den Haag and grew up in the Newcastle youth training camp.

Krul is Newcastle's own man.

In today's game, facing the top Leicester City, his defense was under a lot of pressure.

But Krull didn't pull his hips.

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

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

All were resolved by Krull one by one.

Even Xia Xing's precise long-range shots were blocked by Kruel from the goal line.

Krull in this game is simply a god.

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

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

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

Leicester City miss a penalty!
Krull got a thunderous applause from the audience!

After saving the penalty, Newcastle performed even more bravely.

They even had a chance to score in the counterattack, thanks to Xia Xing's timely return to defense.

In the end, Leicester City, which was attacking with all its strength, failed to take away three points in the away game.

The referee's whistle sounded, and Alan Shearer in the live broadcast room sighed: "Newcastle performed very well today! They blocked the mighty Leicester City! I believe Newcastle will successfully avoid relegation and get back on track!"

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

Despite this, Leicester City's seven-game winning streak at the start of the Premier League is still recorded in history.

And they are still at the top of the Premier League table, and there is still a great chance for the top four goals in the Premier League this season.

On October 10, they drew with Newcastle, and on October 18, the European war started again.

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 must know that their previous two games were all draws. If they don't grab points, then the hope of advancing will be slim.

And Krasnodar is the key target for Leicester City to score points.

The blue fox will win today!

However, the process of the game surprised all Blue Fox fans.

They are in trouble.

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

I thought it was a penalty kick, but the referee gave a penalty for diving and gave Mahrez a yellow card.

This made Leicester City very upset!

Five minutes later, in a wing defense, Mahrez brought down the opponent anxiously and received another yellow card.

Two yellows turn one red!
Mahrez is sent off!

Although the coaching staff and players protested, the referee did not intend to change the sentence.

And a few minutes later, coach Pearson was also sent to the stands by the referee because of his chattering and loud complaints.

With one less player and the coach is still not there, Leicester City is in big trouble.

Although Krasnodar is weaker, facing the chaotic Leicester City, they still seized the opportunity.

After all, there are no real underdogs for teams that can reach the Europa League.

A chaotic corner kick, Krasnodar scored a goal.

1 is better than 0!

Krasnodar leads the score!

Next, the assistant coach Shakespeare on the sidelines temporarily adjusted the formation so that Leicester City, which had one less player, continued to attack.

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

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

They finally won this game!
awesome!
After two consecutive losses, they finally got three points!
Now it has climbed to No.3 in the group!

There is still a chance to advance!
The Leicester City players were in a bad mood.

This game is really lose and lose.

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

The team also lost.

Now they have two draws and one loss in three games, accumulating 2 points and 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 replay the Premier League in three days.

Today's main players consume too much energy, and the next game will be very difficult.

Because they beat one less person, each person's running distance has increased a lot, and their physical fitness has declined seriously.

The next game will be even worse.

On October 10, Leicester City ushered in the ninth round of the Premier League.

away to Swansea.

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

In this game, Pearson let most of the main attackers appear, and many main defensive players took turns.

Pearson expects this game to be a big offensive game.

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 to the field to check and found that the problem was not small.

After careful examination, it was basically determined that it was a sprained ankle.

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

The team doctor estimated it: "About a month."

"Oh..." Pearson let out a long sigh.

This time is really bad luck.

Chris Wood came off the bench 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 to 0, Swansea scored first.

Misfortune never comes singly.

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

1 is better than 1!

Leicester City equalized!

But it was too late.

With Vardy not present in this game, Leicester City lost an extremely sharp offensive point.

Xia Xing's organizational passing also lacked a counterattack point, and the effect declined.

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

If it weren't for Swansea's defensive loopholes at the last moment, Mahrez might have failed.

The referee blew his whistle and the game was over.

1 to 1, Leicester City and Swansea drew a draw.

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

"When Leicester City won the Premier League,
"I knew their luck was running out.

"In the last three games, two draws and one loss,
"Leicester City have been completely beaten back to their original shape.

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