When the referee blew the final whistle, Selhurst Park burst into applause.

The Leicester fans couldn't be happier.

Just a few days ago, we saw our team win in the Champions League and now we have seen the team qualify in the FA Cup.

The fans in the stands were even in a trance.

Is this reality, or is it a dream?

"Hey man! What are you doing? ”

"I pinched my thigh to see if I was dreaming...... Sure enough, it didn't hurt at all......"

"Nonsense! You're pinching Lao Tzu's legs! ”

"Oh, sorry, sorry, so excited, so excited."

On the sidelines of the pitch, the Leicester City coach applauded.

Ranieri suddenly felt a little funny.

In fact, in his heart, he didn't care at all about winning this game.

Even if the team loses, he feels a little lucky.

Xia can finally withdraw from this senseless cup competition and go all out to deal with the league and the Champions League.

However, Leicester City still won.

Xia made two passes and one shot, and was still the biggest contributor to the team's victory.

It seems that this young man is really interested in the FA Cup.

Is he just expecting a third consecutive FA Cup triumph?

Maybe.

Just let him be.

With a win over Crystal Palace on 21 February, Leicester City could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Especially the main players who have been resting for a few days are recovering very well.

Norwich City on 26 February, West Brom on 2 March and Watford on 6 March.

Three Premier League games in a row followed.

Then there is the second leg of the Champions League against PSV Eindhoven on 9 March.

Claudio Ranieri has already decided on the strategy of the game.

In the first two Premier League games, you can play with all the main forces.

Against Watford, he still came off the bench in order to secure the Champions League for the rest of the game.

After all, the Premier League can't be taken lightly right now.

17 league points with 12 rounds remaining.

It's not that there is no possibility of being overturned.

Unexpectedly, after two games, Ranieri's fears really came true......

Against Norwich, Leicester City gave it their all.

After all, he is well rested, his physical condition is excellent, and his opponent is weak.

So from the first minute, Leicester City launched a frantic onslaught.

Unfortunately, however, Leicester City were unlucky in the game from start to finish.

Norwich will focus on a stubborn defense today, and even if Ranieri gives up space, Norwich will not come out.

Completely shrink.

In the end, they got what they wanted.

0-0, Norwich got a draw and a point.

The draw was a bit inexplicable, and Ranieri didn't even think it should be.

And the next game against West Brom annoyed Ranieri even more.

The game had just begun, and West Brom had a set-piece opportunity to directly penetrate the Leicester City goal!

A stab from inside the box goes into the net!

1 to 0!

West Brom open the scoring!

Next, West Brom retreated decisively!

They learned from Norwich in the last game and completely retreated.

And Leicester City are once again in a tough battle.

The strikers frequently made their moves, but still to no avail.

Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez are both attackers who need space, and this kind of pure positional warfare makes it difficult for them to play to their advantage.

Van Persie's fitness has dropped significantly in the second half of the season, and his body is not as good as before, and he can no longer be as dangerous when facing physical confrontations in the penalty area.

And Drinkwater's long-range shot could not penetrate the dense crowd.

In the end, it was Xia Xing who stood up.

In the 79th minute of the game, Xia Xing took the ball in the midfield, and he broke through with the ball decisively!

Facing the opponent who was the last threatener, West Brom made a joint tackle and brought down Xia Xing.

Naturally, the referee will not let this kind of behavior go.

The free kick is 35 metres from the goal, in the middle.

Xia Xing was done overnight!

The ball goes straight into the net!

1 to 1!

Leicester equalised!

The applause at the King Power Stadium was thunderous!

It's been two games and they've finally seen Leicester City score again!

It's not easy!

In the end, this game was scored by Xia Xing's free kick, and Leicester City struggled to draw the opponent.

After two Premier League draws, the gap between Leicester City and Arsenal has been narrowed!

With two wins, Arsenal have closed the gap of 17 league points to 13 points!

Although it is unlikely that they will achieve a big comeback, Wenger will not give up!

With ten rounds to go, anything is possible!

After the game, the Leicester City boss spent more than half an hour in the dressing room.

Even Ranieri did not attend the post-match press conference to let Shakespeare deal with it instead of him.

At this time, he was in the dressing room, facing his players, and he was rarely angry.

Yes, Ranieri hasn't been so angry since coming to Leicester.

'Boys, you've done well this season.

"No, pretty good, I should say.

"You've been leading the league and you're looking to win the league.

"Qualify for the Champions League and the quarter-finals are just around the corner.

'We played well in the FA Cup and qualified for the sixth round.

"Are you satisfied with the result?

"Especially in the league, 17 points ahead, oh no, it's 13 points, 13 points.

"I tell you, if you keep kicking like this,

"Don't even think about winning the league!

"With 10 rounds left and a 13-point lead, how many games are you qualified to lose?

"How many more are you going to do?

"You may want to say that in these two games, the opponent defended and we tried our best, but we couldn't score.

"Hehe, interesting.

"Isn't it the first day you've played football, have you seen how Huang Saren plays?

"Against their team, almost all of them are defending to the death!

"Iron Bucket Formation!

"But how in the end?

"We have all become the superpowers of Europe!

"They've won numerous victories!

"That's what a championship team is like!

"If the bucket formation could dominate the world, then Mourinho would have been the first person in the world! Can he still be sacked by Tottenham?

"If you see the iron bucket array, you can't help it, and even get discouraged,

"If that's the case, then there's only one thing to prove – we don't deserve the Premier League title!

"Because you've lost the temperament of a league champion,

"Firm!

"Persistence!

"Brave!

"Stable!

"Fight!

"These are the qualities of a league champion!

"Compared to the chance of a cup winner, a league championship is all about stability!

"In a long season, a team allows some margin for error,

"But don't forget, while you're dozing,

"Your opponents are still running desperately!

"Our lead has been reduced by four points, which is the best proof of that!

"Now, you have the opportunity to be part of Leicester City club history!

"Do you try to make history, or do you slack off on contentment?

"Don't answer me,

"Make your own choices in your hearts!"
