opportunities, there were some problems in our defense, and we did not seize the opportunities in offense. These are the reasons for the failure!》——Pellegrini
After the game, the game received extensive coverage from the European media.
An English League Cup championship may not mean much to some teams, but it is an extremely important affirmation for Leicester City and its fans.
There are only 11 rounds left in the Premier League. Winning the championship at this time can greatly boost the morale of the team and the confidence of the players, and has a strong motivating effect on Leicester City's final championship journey.
Until now, fans of teams that still have hope of competing for the title are not optimistic about Leicester City. This is a kind of contempt based on heritage.
Many fans and media firmly believe that Leicester City will lose ground and be overtaken by teams such as Arsenal and Tottenham.
After attending a simple celebration party within the team, it was already 1am when I got home.
Tiptoeing back to the room, Chu Zheng showed a faint smile when he saw Zhao Dudu lying on the bed with his arms and legs spread out.
He turned up the heating by two degrees, tucked him in, then walked to the other side to lift the quilt and get into bed.
As soon as Chu Zheng lay down, he summoned the virtual character panel.
After two months of training, Chu Zheng's various abilities have increased again.
Especially the new talent of Green Elf, although it only increased by 15%, Chu Zheng felt that his control of the ball had once again improved to a higher level.
On the spot, Chu Zheng was able to control the ball with his arms, and he often had the illusion that he was playing with the ball with both hands.
Unknowingly, Chu Zheng's eyes stopped rolling and he fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, after sending Zhao Dudu to school, Chu Zheng drove straight to the training base.
The next round of the Premier League is just two days later, so even if they win the EFL Cup, Chu Zheng and the others will not get a holiday.
In the next few days, the topic of whether Leicester City could finally win the championship was also brought up by the popularity of successfully winning the EFL Cup.
According to BBCsport survey data, 40% of British fans are optimistic that Leicester City will win the Premier League championship this season and create a football miracle, while 60% still say that they are not optimistic about Leicester City.
Once the survey data was released, it immediately caused controversy on the Internet.
The first people who were unhappy were the Leicester City fans.
So the fox army began to sweep the European Internet. Anyone who said bad things about their own team would go up and have a debate.
When arguing with each other, Leicester City fans first pointed out the team's excellent statistics in each game to prove the strength of their team, and finally pointed out Leicester City's upcoming schedule that was too friendly.
As a result, those fans who were not optimistic about Leicester City mocked it as luck. Anyway, people believed that Leicester City would be overtaken in the next Premier League competition and miss the championship.
This can make Leicester City fans furious.
It is undeniable that there is indeed a bit of luck in Leicester City's ability to reach this point.
But it is simply unreasonable to completely deny Leicester City's results just because of this slight element of luck.
But the dispute between the two sides soon died down.
On March 3, at 20:45 London time, the first eight games of the 28th round of the Premier League started at the same time.
Among these eight games, the most eye-catching ones are West Ham United's home game against Tottenham Hotspur, second in the Premier League standings, and Arsenal's home game against Swansea City.
As a result, after 90 minutes of fierce battle, Tottenham and Arsenal were defeated one after another, causing two shocking upsets.
The defeats of Tottenham and Arsenal left countless fans and media in Europe shocked and speechless.
It is understandable for them that Tottenham lost to West Ham United.
After all, West Ham United is sixth in the Premier League, second only to Manchester United.
Moreover, Tottenham were still playing away from home, so it was understandable that they lost to West Ham United reluctantly. They are not weak after all.
But Arsenal's loss to Swansea was outrageous. It was outrageous. It was outrageous.
Swansea are currently ranked fifth from the bottom in the standings, with 27 points, only two points behind Newcastle United, who are third from the bottom and in the relegation zone.
Although there have been teams that have been relegated over the years and have overturned teams competing for the championship, in fact, given the huge disparity in strength, this kind of result is not that easy to happen.
What's more, Tottenham are still at an important juncture in the championship. Let alone three points, they can't lose even half a point.
As a result, I didn't expect that Tottenham would follow in the footsteps of their city rival Arsenal and start stretching their hips inexplicably.
Nowadays, the Premier League has entered the most intense stage of the championship competition. This season, due to poor records, the three traditional giants Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool have withdrawn from the championship. In fact, the only teams that can compete for the championship are the Heat.
Spurs, Arsenal, Manchester City and Leicester City, the biggest dark horse teams in the history of the Premier League this season.
Due to Leicester City's lack of lineup depth and championship experience, the media and fans are not optimistic about them. They still believe that Leicester City will fall behind. The most popular candidates for the championship are Arsenal, Tottenham, and Manchester City.
Team.
As a result, at such an important moment, Arsenal and Tottenham failed collectively.
Perhaps the happiest person right now is Leicester City at the top of the list.
However, Leicester City cried two hours later.
Leicester City's opponent in this round is West Bromwich Albion, who are 13th in the Premier League standings.
In this game, Chu Zheng, who played back in the middle, still performed well. Therefore, Leicester City played smoothly after the start of the game. In the first half, they beat West Bromwich Albion 2-0 with a score of 2-0 and had little ability to fight back.
.
In the second half, because the next round of the league was on March 6, Ranieri replaced Chu Zheng and Mahrez.
As a result, the situation of the game suddenly reversed due to Ranieri's two substitutions.
When the full-time whistle sounded, Leicester City fans couldn't laugh anymore.
2-2!
They were evened by West Bromwich Albion.
The other game that starts at the same time is the highlight of this round of Premier League, Liverpool VS Manchester City, a battle between red and blue!
The result of the game was that Liverpool, playing at home, defeated Manchester City 3-0.
This result once again left countless fans and media who were not optimistic about Leicester City speechless.
I never expected that Arsenal, Tottenham, and Manchester City would become less and less energetic the closer they get to the critical moment.
It feels as if even God is helping this magical team compete for the championship, making many people begin to believe in the possibility of Leicester City creating a miracle.
