Star Card System

Leicester City is playing steadily and firmly at the top of the Premier League.

It is even 8 points ahead of second-placed Arsenal.

It is more than 10 points ahead of the two Manchester City clubs, the Red Army and the Blue Army.

This was something their fans could not imagine two seasons or one season ago.

The league prospects are very good.

Even the Leicester Evening News published a commentary.

"Is it possible for us to look forward to the league championship?"

Although it is just a vision, not many fans are confident.

Even Leicester City fans dare not think about the Premier League championship.

After all, there are many Premier League giants. Their current poor state does not mean that they will always be in poor state.

So in this case, it is better to play steadily.

Don't think too much.

The Premier League is playing steadily, and the Champions League must have a breakthrough.

On October 1, Leicester City will visit Malmö and usher in the second round of the Champions League group stage.

After being scored an equalizer by Benfica in the last game, Leicester City has seen the strength of the Portuguese Super League giants.

It is difficult to get points from them.

Perhaps the final round of the group stage against Benfica will be a key battle to determine the second place in the group.

But before that, they must get the points they deserve.

Especially the game against Malmö.

It is not easy to play against Benfica, and it is even more difficult to get points against Real Madrid.

So in the game against Malmö, they must go all out to win.

In this game, Leicester City naturally played with all the main players to ensure a safe victory.

But unexpectedly, they ran into trouble just after the game started.

In the fifth minute of the game, Kante kicked and shoveled the ball in a defense outside the penalty area.

It was a clean tackle, but the referee whistled!

Foul!

Not only that, the referee even gave Kante a red card directly!

This made all the fans in the audience confused!

What's going on?

Even the profit-making Malmö fans were a little embarrassed.

It was clearly seen in the stands, how could it be a red card?

It's really...

The Leicester City players protested loudly, but apart from getting two yellow cards, the result did not change.

Ranieri on the sidelines was even sent to the stands for protesting.

Shakespeare was left to direct the game.

10 vs 11, Leicester City is in trouble.

Malmö is not strong, but that doesn't mean they are a weak team.

Facing Leicester City with one less player, they decisively defended.

At the end of the first half, the score was still 0-0.

Malmö continued to defend in the second half.

Until the 70th minute of the game, Malmö began to attack.

Facing the situation of one less player, the physical energy of the Leicester City team was greatly consumed.

Fatigue had already appeared at this stage.

Malmö took advantage of the fatigue of the Leicester City midfield and quickly counterattacked!

A shot in front of the goal scored a goal!

1-0!

Malmö scored!

Leicester City, who had been thinking of winning the opponent, actually fell behind at home!

If this is the result, then their desire to qualify for the group stage will be in jeopardy!

In the 85th minute of the game, Xia Xing stood up again.

His teammates were extremely tired, so he had to work alone.

He got the ball on the left and suddenly sprinted with the ball!

Facing the double-teaming of two defensive players, Xia Xing chose to go hard!

Xia Xing actually carried the Nordic strong man!

Sprint!

To the edge of the penalty area!

Shoot!

The ball hit the net!

1 to 1!

"At the critical moment, Xia stood up again!

"He used a wonderful shot to blast the net!

"This goal is wonderful!

"He knocked away two defensive players and then shot hard!

"The goalkeeper had no power to fight back!

"A wonderful equalizer!

"Xia became the hero of the team again!"

After scoring the equalizer, Xia Xing also felt a little tired.

This game was one less player, and his running distance had already exceeded the past.

Now I feel tired after trying my best to score a goal.

Looking at the side of the court, Kante was no longer there.

So far this season, his favorite teammate is Kante, no one else.

Because Kante is behind him, he can be more bold to press forward.

This is completely different from the feeling of having to pay attention to defense every time he attacked last season.

As long as Kante is behind him, Xia Xing feels very relieved.

He is really lucky to have such a teammate.

In the end, the game ended 1-1.

Although Leicester City did not lose, a draw is obviously not enough to support them to qualify from the group.

Especially in another game, Benfica stubbornly tied Real Madrid 3-3.

Although they and Leicester City only have two points now, they are slightly ahead with the number of goals.

And they will play against the weak team Malmö next, while Leicester City will face the powerful Real Madrid.

The next game cannot be lost...

After returning to England, Leicester City will continue to play two games a week.

In the eighth round of the Premier League on October 4, Leicester City will play away against Norwich.

In the last game, because of one less player, the main players of Leicester City were exhausted.

This game naturally used the substitute lineup.

Unfortunately, we failed to win this game either.

The same situation happened again.

James received a straight red card and a penalty for a tackle.

In the end, with this penalty, Leicester City lost 0-1 away.

After this game, their seven-game winning streak in the league came to an end.

Like last season, they lost in the eighth round of the league.

Ranieri wanted to make some adjustments, but there was no time.

Because the national team match day was coming up.

The players left the team one after another and did not come back until a week later.

The Leicester City players who returned to the team still could not escape the invasion of the FIFA virus.

In the ninth round of the Premier League on October 17, Leicester City lost a good game again.

Facing Southampton, they attacked all over the field and dedicated 16 shots.

But they failed to score.

In the end, a 0-0 score turned Leicester City's league winless streak into two games.

And they were gradually caught up by Arsenal behind them.

The lead was reduced from 8 points to 3 points.

At this time, they have been looked down upon by domestic media.

The Times: "Leicester City has entered a rhythm of falling apart again! Just like last season, it began to collapse from the eighth round of the league and eventually lost the top four position. This season is expected to be similar!"

The London Times: "I believe it won't be long before Arsenal will be at the top of the list! The Gunners are still a strong contender for the championship this season!"

The Daily Telegraph: "This is just the normal level of Leicester City. They are only at the level of the Europa League. Now the top of the Premier League is about to be replaced, and the elimination of the Champions League group stage is also imminent!"

Countless media criticisms have continued, which has put Leicester City under considerable pressure.

Even in the Leicester City team, many players have experienced emotional fluctuations...
