Chapter 217
In this game, Zenit was defeated by thousands of miles.

It has entered stoppage time, and they are still 3 to 5 behind.

The total score is 3 to 6 behind.

There is no chance at all.

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

"In all fairness, Zenit's overall strength is not weaker than Leicester City's.

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

"But they didn't play as well as they should have in this game.

"Especially the defense in the midfield is useless.

"It's about their first leg.

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

"They think Leicester City is just that level.

"It broke out suddenly today, and they couldn't bear it a little bit.

"At the King Power Stadium, Leicester City are simmering,
"Even giving up the previous league games, I thought about doing Zenit today.

"They won.

"The referee blew the whistle and the game was won 5-3 by Leicester City.

"In the end, we successfully advanced to the quarter-finals of the Europa League with a total score of 6-3.

"To be honest, I really didn't expect that Leicester City was so lucky this season that they could reach the quarter-finals of the Europa League."

Hearing this, Alan Shearer didn't like to hear it.

"Man, I don't like to hear what you say, what is good luck?
"Lucky enough to score 6 goals for the Russian Super League champion in two rounds?

"Are you joking?

"Look at the Champions League this season,

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

"All eliminated in the quarter-finals!

"There is no Premier League team in the quarter-finals of the Champions League!
"Look at the quarter-finals of the Europa League, there is only one Premier League team in Leicester City!
"It is no exaggeration to say that Leicester City is the only fig leaf for the European Premier League this season!
"If you criticize them in European competition, it is really inappropriate!"

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

Indeed it is.

This season, the Premier League team has pulled their hips in Europe, and only Leicester City is the only one.

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

Seville, Naples, Rome, Wolfsburg...

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

In the end, Leicester City failed to avoid their opponents in the five major leagues in the draw.

Rome!

Here are their quarterfinal opponents!

Although strong, Leicester City doesn't care.

In fact, after they reached the quarter-finals of the Europa League, they were already quite happy.

No, it should be said that after the group qualifying, I was very happy.

Every time I take a step forward and move forward, I am very happy.

Although Rome is strong, we will still do it!
But before that, Leicester City still has a few Premier League games to play.

In the No.30, 31 and 32 rounds of the league, Leicester City played against Tottenham, West Ham and West Brom in these three games.

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

But I don't know if it was the reason for the disrupted rhythm. Leicester City encountered big trouble in these three games.

In the No.30 round of the league, Leicester City was a guest at White Hart Lane against Tottenham.

As the opponent who stole their League Cup title, Tottenham hate Leicester City.

Regardless of winning or losing this game, the ball was played really badly.

Mahrez was brought down by opposing defender Dell just after the game started.

Retired directly.

After being diagnosed by the team doctor, he was injured for half a month.

This made the players on both sides on the field very angry!

Vardy even pushed and shoved each other, and almost got into a fight!
Although it did not cause major trouble, it 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 brought down by Lamela.

The referee didn't say anything.

This completely angered Vardy!
The last time he was tackled by Lamela, he was injured for a month!

Now that he's been knocked down again, isn't it a foul?
He directly grabbed Lamela's neck and glared at her!

And Lamela showed no sign of weakness!
The referee whistles again!

In the end, they each received a yellow card.

Vardy, on the other hand, received two yellow cards and was sent off.

Just half an hour after the game, Leicester City lost one player.

And Mahrez was injured.

Their offense was in big trouble.

Before the end of the first half, Eriksson made a long pass with one foot on the ground and accurately found Harry Kane.

The England striker fired a low shot into the net.

1:0.

Leicester City fell behind.

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again, and it was still Tottenham's onslaught.

Although Xia Xing frequently interrupted the opponent's attack by relying on his personal defense, the disadvantage of numbers could not be remedied.

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

Harry Kane grabbed a tackle in the penalty area and the ball hit the net again.

2:0.

This score also became the final score.

Leicester City lost in the league, and also lost.

A few days later, in the No.30 round of the Premier League, Leicester City played against West Ham at home.

In this game, the Blue Fox attacked across the board, but couldn't attack for a long time.

Mahrez was injured and Vardy was suspended with a red card.

Xia Xing passed the ball frequently, but it was really difficult for the striker to defeat the opponent's defense.

And in the 69th minute of the game, West Ham also scored with a set kick in the frontcourt.

The ball bounced wildly in front of the goal, and Schmeichel was helpless.

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

A few days later, in the No.30 second round of the Premier League, Leicester City played away against West Brom.

Facing an opponent that just won in the sixth round of the FA Cup some time ago, they are confident that they will end their losing streak.

In particular, Vardy's return to the team gave Pearson a bit more confidence.

But in this game Leicester City still failed to score goals, and Vardy was also wicked, failing to score many times.

The opponent relied on two counterattacks to break Leicester City's goals one after another.

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

1 to 2, Leicester City lost again.

A wave of three-game losing streak in the league caused Leicester City to completely lose its fourth place in the league.

Overtaken by Manchester United.

Not only that, but their fifth place in the league is also the same as No.6 Tottenham, only the difference in goal difference.

Even Liverpool, who are seventh in the league, are only two points away from them.

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

Leicester City are in trouble.

Over there, the Europa League has just entered the quarter-finals, and the whole team is rejoicing.

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

It's a mixed blessing.

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

Now Leicester City is facing a huge test.

But for Xia Xing, he still has something new to gain...
