Star Card System

At the St. Petersburg Stadium, Leicester City players felt the roar of the tsunami.

These Russian fans were like giant bears, going crazy in the stands.

Even though it was still winter here, many people went shirtless, which made Leicester City players terrified.

"Aren't these people afraid of the cold?" Konchesky was shocked.

"It should be," Schmeichel observed the direction of the stands, "My hometown is also very cold, but it's not as cold-resistant as them."

Xia Xing rubbed his hands, exhaled, and a cloud of white mist rose.

This game is not easy to play...

In Russia's home court, many European giants find it difficult to perform.

Not to mention a small team like Leicester City.

They have even less experience in European wars.

In such a snowy situation, arms and legs are stiff, and it's good to be able to play half of the level.

Captain Morgan encouraged his teammates: "We are cold, and they are not much better than us! Cheer up, guys!"

In the cold stadium, the first leg of the Europa League quarter-finals began.

Leicester City directly deployed a 4-5-1 formation in this game.

They were very decisive today - defensive counterattack!

In this environment, it is already very good to try not to lose the ball.

The most important point is not to get injured.

In the midfield position, Albrighton is on the left and Mahrez is on the right.

The three midfielders in the middle are Xia Xing, Drinkwater and Cambiasso.

The defensive formation of these three people is absolutely solid.

From the first minute of the game, Leicester City has been hit by the opponent.

Although Zenit's formation is 4-2-3-1, it changes a lot in offense.

For example, Hulk's position is very flexible.

He can be a pillar center in the penalty area, or he can pull out and attack with the ball.

This caused great trouble to Leicester City's midfield and backcourt.

Drinkwater defended Hulk personally, but was hit by the opponent.

It was difficult to even defend.

And Xia Xing tried to defend Hulk, and it was also very stressful.

With a strength value of 85, he is more than one level weaker than Hulk.

This guy deserves to be 99 strong...

Shakespeare on the sidelines complained: "Fortunately this guy is not very fast, otherwise he would be the second Adriano..."

Pearson did not speak, looking at the direction of the court, under great pressure.

Hulk squeezed the defense and shot a burst that gave Schmeichel a headache.

Fortunately, it missed, if it hit the goal post, it would be troublesome again.

The hands that just saved his shot are still painful.

In addition to Hulk, Longdong is also very impactful.

The Venezuelan striker is also very strong, with strong shooting power and excellent headers.

Captain Morgan's positional defense is barely enough.

And Hulk can only defend in the zone.

And there are more people to double-team.

In this way, Leicester City's defense is like one less person, and the pressure is great.

However, Zenit players were also affected by the cold weather today, and their performance was average.

Especially in shooting, there is no aim.

In the first half, they attacked continuously and failed to score with nearly 10 shots.

The referee blew the whistle and the first half ended.

With a score of 0-0, both sides returned to the locker room.

For Leicester City, this score was good and expected.

But Zenit could never accept it.

They knew the strength of Leicester City.

The dark horse quality of the Blue Foxes this season is well-known throughout Europe.

If they can't use the advantage of home court to score more goals, then they are not sure about the away game.

In the second half, they continued to attack.

The formation was also adjusted to 4-3-3.

Hulk and Shatov headed to the front line, and Javi Garcia and Witsel also took the lead and participated in the attack as much as possible.

But time kept running out, and they still couldn't score.

In the 69th minute of the game, Leicester City got a corner kick on the right side of the penalty area.

Xia Xing's corner kick was accurately kicked to the middle!

Under Hulk's return defense, Konchesky, who headed the ball forward, failed to touch the ball!

Mahrez, Vardy and other players had no advantage among a group of tall opponents.

However, no one touched the ball in the middle of the penalty area...

Cambiasso suddenly rushed out from the back post!

Headed the ball!

The ball hit the net!

1-0!

Leicester City finally broke the deadlock!

This goal is so important!

With one goal in hand, and it was an away goal!

They are more stable!

Next, Leicester City's defense was more stable and retreated with all its strength.

Zenit also continued to attack.

But in the end, it didn't work.

The referee whistled and the game was over!

In faraway Russia, Leicester City defeated its opponent 1-0 with its tenacious fighting spirit!

They won the victory and also got a valuable away goal!

On the court, the players exchanged jerseys.

This game completely blocked Shatov's Deraet and was praised by the opponent.

Shatov: "Your defensive ability is good. I look forward to our next match."

De Laet was shivering with cold: "When we return to the King Power Stadium in the next round, I will definitely show you what Leicester City football is like... Ah Qiu... I seem to have a cold..."

Hulk handed the jersey to Xia Xing: "You don't look strong, but you can influence me to a great extent, which is already very good."

Xia Xing took the jersey: "You are so strong, amazing."

Hulk: "By the way, I heard that you grew up in China. Are the players there as good at playing football as you?"

Xia Xing: "About the same..."

Hulk: "Oh..."

Xia Xing didn't know why Hulk asked this question, but he didn't care now.

He was thinking about a question-it's so cold, why don't you just stop exchanging jerseys?

Freezing to death...

After returning to Leicester from Zenit, many players had some cold symptoms.

Although it was not serious, it should not be taken lightly.

In the next weekend's league, Leicester City fielded a full substitute lineup.

Of course, Xia Xing still took the initiative to ask to play.

On March 11, they defeated Zenit, and on March 14, Leicester City played against Hull City again.

This game was played at home, and Hull City is currently ranked third from the bottom in the standings.

They need points more than Leicester City.

Facing the Foxes, they showed great potential in this game.

The 3-5-2 formation is full of attacking power.

He saw that Leicester City was tired and many main players were absent, so he wanted to see if he could grab points.

Leicester City was indeed in a lot of trouble today.

Being suppressed by the opponent, there were no good offensive opportunities.

In the injury time of the first half, the opponent's striker N'Doye scored a long shot and got the first point.

In the 66th minute of the second half, the opponent's central defender Chester pulled down Andy King in the penalty area and received a yellow card.

There was also a penalty kick.

Knocket had already overcome his inner demons and shot the ball into the net.

1 to 1!

Leicester City equalized the score.

This is also the final result of this game.

The Foxes failed to get three points at home, and Manchester United behind them is one step further away from them...
