Leicester beat Huddersfield 4-1 in the 26th round of the 2023-24 English Championship (minor league) held at the King Power Stadium in Leicester, England on the 2nd (Korea time). As a result, Leicester maintained its No. 1 position with 10 unbeaten points (eight wins and two draws).
The main character was Thomas Cannon, born in 2002. Cannon, who did not play much and had no goal before the match, scored a goal in the 40th minute of the first half, giving Leicester the lead. Leicester took the lead by scoring an additional Hickardu Pereira goal. Cannon shook the net once again in the 16th minute of the second half, widening the gap. He lost a point to Huddersfield, but Steffi Mabidi scored a wedge goal to win 4-1.
Leicester City, which won the title like a fairytale Premier League and recently won the FA Cup, suffered a shock relegation last season. The final ranking was 18th. The team was demoted two points shorter than Everton, which is 17th. The team sought a change from Steve Rogers to Dean Smith, but the result was demotion.
James Medicine, Harvey Barnes, Timothy Castagne, Daniel Amati, Yuri Tillemans, Chalar Soyunjwi, Johnny Evans, Victor Christiansen, Naplaas Mendy, and Ryan Bertrand left. Leicester, which had many departures, immediately sought promotion. After appointing Encho Maresca, they recruited Harry Winks, Conor Cody, Cannon, Mabidi, Yunus Akjun, Isahaku Patau, and Cesare Casaday. 토토사이트 추천
The total transfer fee was 44.1 million euros. Leicester City, which strengthened its presence in the league, has been in a tight race since the beginning of the season. It lost two consecutive games in the middle of the first half, but maintained the lead by winning 10 consecutive games in the recent months. The score point gap with Ipswich Town, which is ranking second, is 10 points. With only 26 matches now, Leicester City is called the top priority for promotion.
“We played four matches in 10 days. We won a very important match, and I’m glad that Cannon overcame a difficult situation. Strikers’ performance is important for victory,” Maresca said. British public broadcaster BBC highlighted that Leicester City is leading Huddersfield by 10 points with a landslide victory.
