Chapter 43

However, Middlesbrough's attack was too fast and Leicester City was too late to return to defense.

In the frontcourt, Middlesbrough had a three-on-two advantage. Jutkiewicz and Wick quickly cooperated in the penalty area and dribbled past the last defender.

Jutkiewicz faced Leicester City goalkeeper Adam Smith alone and calmly pushed the ball into the net.

"GoalGoalGoal!"

The home fans cheered loudly, and Middlesbrough had taken a three-goal lead

"Middlesbrough scored again! Jutkiewicz scored two goals! The score has been opened to 3-0!"

"Leicester City obviously didn't have enough time to get back on defense this time, and Middlesbrough completely took advantage of the loophole"

"The score of 3-0 was very unfavorable to them, and Middlesbrough continued to attack."

"The current situation is extremely serious for Leicester City. But the game is not over yet, they must maintain confidence and try to reduce the gap."

"This is a huge test for young players!"

The commentator's voice was still floating over the field, while Li Lei and his teammates were livid. Another goal was almost the end of the game.

"Leicester City's away fans were almost speechless. They found it hard to believe that the team on the verge of defeat was the team that had won 6 games and tied 1 before."

"The 0-3 deficit has completely reversed the strength comparison between the two teams. Middlesbrough has a clear advantage, while Leicester City has no chance to fight back."

The fans are anxious but helpless. They hope that this young team can cheer up, but what they see on the field is a far cry from their expectations.

"This is unbelievable, the worst game I have ever seen."

"What the hell are these players doing! Their performance is a disgrace!"

"Haha, a six-game winning streak? Now we are back to reality."

"I should have known that our team was always a scumbag team, and the first seven rounds were just luck."

At this moment, old White, sitting in the stands, was heartbroken, looking at the game with a painful face.

As a die-hard fan of Leicester City, my heart had already solidified.

The score of 0-3 was like a hammer hitting my heart, making me feel ashamed.

I looked at the hopeless game on the field in despair, and I had lost my voice for a long time.

The outstanding performance in the first seven rounds seemed to be just a foolish dream, and we returned to reality.

The previous excitement and joy turned into regret and disappointment, and I could hardly believe my eyes.

The ridicule of the home team fans stabbed my heart like a sharp knife, and my pride disappeared.

I knew that the game was not over yet, but reason told me that hope had been shattered.

My excited heart had already cooled down, and I just wanted to leave as soon as possible and forget this miserable defeat.

As a fan who supports the team, I know that I should not give up easily, but I can no longer bear such pain.

I left the audience silently, feeling ashamed. The memory of this game will become a scar in my heart.

These are his truest feelings at the moment. Some fans simply chose to leave early. Obviously, they have lost confidence in the team. The empty audience further highlights the disparity in the momentum of the home court.

Under the pressure of falling behind by three goals, Li Lei was anxious to turn the situation around.

He saw that Vardy, who led the scorer list, was in a bad state, and he couldn't help shouting out:

"Hey! Brother, keep up the pace, you are the top scorer, are you too proud?"

Vardy's face darkened, but thinking of the critical situation, he didn't want to argue. Li Lei walked over and patted his shoulder, saying earnestly::

"I know you are under a lot of pressure, but only goals can help the team, and now you need to step up.!"

"Cheer up, we can definitely score a goal! You can do it!"

Vardy took a deep breath and nodded silently:"Okay, I will do my best!"

The game continued. Maybe it was because the opponent scored three goals that made them lose face, or maybe it was because they were kicked awake by Middlesbrough, but the situation of three goals behind lasted until the end of the game. Although the three-goal deficit was a heavy blow to Leicester City, they finally improved at the end of the game, at least they did not lose the ball again.

In an attack, Li Lei successfully broke through on the wing and crossed into the penalty area

""Whoosh!"

Li Lei stood on the right side of the field, panting heavily. He had done everything he could. Now he could only pin his hopes on his teammates.

In the blink of an eye, the ball came to the middle. In the chaos, Vardy stood out and seized this rare opportunity.

In his eyes, the ball instantly entered the net, without giving the goalkeeper a chance to react.

"Vardy, who was in poor form today, made a quick shot and the ball went in.!"

"GoalGoalGoal! Vardy scored! This goal saved Leicester City a little face!"

The final whistle sounded, and Leicester City lost 1:3.

After the game, all kinds of negative comments rushed to Leicester City players like a tide

"Losing the league lead, this team's strength is overestimated"

"He was at a loss from the beginning of the game and was completely defeated."

""If you can't even defend your home court, what's the point of dreaming of winning the championship?"

Faced with doubts from all sides, the players were speechless and could only cry.

The media and fans criticized them fiercely, and the cheers of the past turned into ridicule today.

The next morning, Li Lei looked at the newspaper in his hand for a long time without saying a word.

《Reflections on Leicester City's Defeat》

In this week's league, the leader Leicester City lost 0:3 to Middlesbrough, who is in the middle of the standings. This defeat undoubtedly brought a huge impact on the position of the league leader.

As a football commentator, I think the main reasons for this defeat are as follows:

First, the six consecutive unbeaten games made Leicester City players underestimate their opponents.

Their outstanding performance in the early stages of the league won praise from the outside world, and also enhanced the players' arrogance, leading to their misjudgment of the strength of their opponents.

Secondly, Middlesbrough conducted targeted research on Leicester City, and they did a lot of work on both the offensive and defensive ends.

However, the players of Leicester City seemed to be unprepared and quickly lost their armor under the tactical attack of the opponent.

Furthermore, the young players of Leicester City lacked experience and seemed to be in a hurry when facing a big score behind.

They had problems in psychological construction and did not show the stability that a professional team should have.

In short, this defeat was a heavy blow to the leader Leicester City, but it will also prompt them to realize the existing problems.
