The 2014 World Cup just passed next summer, and many classic scenes are still praised by fans to this day.
For example, the Dutch team's quarter-finals, the initial penalty shootout.
A substitute goalkeeper came on stage in a critical situation, but he didn't expect that he would be the one who could save the Tulip Legion.
He made two consecutive saves and kept a clean sheet, helping the team eliminate Costa Rica 4-3 and advance to the final.
Was he the hero of that game?
He denied the talented Dutch goalkeeper Krul.
He made his debut at the Dutch Eredivisie club The Hague and grew up in the Newcastle youth academy.
Krul is Newcastle's own man.
In tomorrow's game, he will face Leicester City, who are at the top of the table, and he will be under great defensive pressure.
Buono Krul didn't stretch his crotch.
He used his wonderful performance to prove to everyone that his performance in the World Cup was not an accident.
Vardy's single shot, Ulloa's blast in front of the goal, Mahrez's curve ball.
All were resolved one by one by Krul.
Even Xia Xing's two precise long-range shots were blocked by Krul.
Krul was incredible in that game.
Especially in the 76th minute of the game, Leicester City got a penalty kick opportunity.
Vardy's shot, which has always been steady, still went straight into the blind corner.
Unexpectedly, Krul predicted it, moved early, stretched his body, and fished the ball out before it was inserted into the dead corner.
Leicester City missed a penalty!
Krul received thunderous applause from the audience!
After saving the penalty kick, Newcastle showed even more bravery.
They even had a chance to score on the counterattack, thanks to Xia Xing's timely defense.
In the past, Leicester City, which was attacking with all their strength, could not take away three points in the away game.
When the referee's whistle sounded, Alan Shearer in the live broadcast room exclaimed: "Newcastle performed great tomorrow! They blocked the powerful Leicester City! He believes that Newcastle will successfully avoid relegation and get back on track!"
A draw ended Leicester City's Premier League winning streak.
Despite this, Leicester City's seven-game winning streak at the start of the Premier League will go down in history.
Moreover, they are still ranked first in the Premier League, and they have a good chance of achieving the top four in the Premier League this season.
On October 18, they drew with Newcastle, and on October 23, the war in Europe resumed.
In the third round of the Europa League, Leicester City played Krasnodar away.
Leicester City still played with all their main players in that game.
I want to know if their previous two games were draws. If they don't grab points, then their chances of advancing will be slim.
And whether Krasnodar can focus on Leicester City's points is a mistake.
The Blue Fox will win tomorrow!
The process of the game shocked all Blue Fox fans.
They are in trouble.
Not long after the game started, Mahrez passed two people and was tripped outside the penalty area.
I thought it was a penalty kick, but it turned out that the referee awarded a diving penalty and gave Mahrez a yellow card.
That makes Leicester City very unhappy in the East!
Five minutes later, during a wing defense, Mahrez was even more anxious and knocked down the wrong player, and received a yellow card again.
Two yellows turn one red!
Mahrez was given a penalty!
Although the coaching staff and players protested, the referee had no intention of changing the decision.
A few minutes later, coach Pearson was also sent to the stands by the referee for complaining loudly.
With one less player, the coach is absent, and Leicester City is in big trouble.
Although Krasnodar is weaker, they did seize the opportunity when faced with Leicester City, which is now in chaos.
After all, there is no real underdog among the teams that can reach the Europa League.
After a corner kick, Krasnodar scored a goal.
1 to 0!
Krasnodar takes the lead!
After coming from the east, the assistant coach Shakespeare on the sidelines temporarily adjusted the formation, allowing Leicester City, who had one less player to play, to continue their onslaught.
But even so, they still couldn't overtake the score.
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the Krasnodar players cheered!
They finally won that game!
marvelous!
After two consecutive losses, they finally got three points!
Now it has climbed to third place in the group!
There is a good chance of promotion!
Leicester City players were in extremely bad mood.
Was it really a loss in that game?
Pearson was sent off to the stands and Mahrez was sent off.
The team lost the ball very badly.
Now they have two draws and one loss in three games, with 2 points, ranking at the bottom of the group.
It’s a little more difficult to get a chance to qualify.
Not only that, the team will play again in the Premier League in three days.
Tomorrow's main players will consume too much physical energy, so a game in the East will be very difficult.
Because they have one less player to fight, the running distance of each person has increased a lot, and their physical condition has seriously deteriorated.
It's even harder to play in a game in the East.
On October 26, Leicester City ushered in the ninth round of the Premier League.
Away to Swansea.
The strength of the wrong leg is not strong, but Leicester City would not be able to field the entire main lineup.
In that game, Pearson used most of his main attacking players and rested many of his main defensive players.
Pearson hopes that game can be an offensive battle.
But the accident happened again.
In the 15th minute of the game, Vardy was knocked down by the wrong side during a scramble and fell to the ground.
The team doctor checked on site and found that there was a serious problem.
After a careful examination at Dongchang, it was basically determined that the ankle was not sprained.
Pearson was very anxious: "How long will it take to recover?"
The team doctor estimated it: "About a month."
"Alas..." Pearson sighed.
Were we really unlucky during that time?
Chris Wood came on as a substitute and Leicester City continued to attack.
Bu Nao's unexpected adjustment disrupted Leicester City's rhythm.
An unexpected man defended the ball, and the ball hit the leg of substitute center back St. Leger and bounced into his own goal.
1-0, Swansea scored first.
Misfortune never comes alone.
Before the end of the game, Leicester City took advantage of a counterattack opportunity and Mahrez scored a goal.
1 to 1!
Leicester City equalizes the score!
But it's too late.
Vardy was not present in that game, and Leicester City lacked an extremely sharp offensive point.
Xia Xing's organizational passing also lacked counterattack points, so its effectiveness declined.
Mahrez performed well, but he was focused on the wrong leg and didn't do much.
If it weren't for Swansea's defensive loopholes at the initial moment, Mahrez would have gained nothing.
The referee's whistle sounded and the game was over.
1 to 1, Leicester City and Swansea played to a draw.
In the live broadcast room, Carragher had an expression that said, "I already knew it would turn out."
"When Leicester City won consecutive Premier League wins,
"He knew their luck was running out.
"In the past three games, two draws and one loss,
"Leicester City has been completely knocked back to its original shape.
"That only defeats the true strength of Leicester City..."
