Lee Ja-sik's comment, Kim Sun-jot? G-jok 永? Van Nistelui's Leicester City made a history of disgraceful records.
Leicester suffered a 0-4 defeat in the 26th round of the English Premier League (EPL) match against Brentford in the 2024-2025 season at King Power Stadium in Leicester, England, at 5 a.m. on the 22nd (Korea time). The defeat saw Leicester fail to move out of 19th place in the league.
Earlier in the game Leicester looked to be lifting the mood at home but gradually began to set the tone for Brentford. Leicester's sloppy defense didn't even last long. After giving up possession under pressure in the 17th minute, Mikel Damsgaard was missed. Damsgaard's sensuous pass led to the gate. While Leicester's defense was not handling it properly, Joanne Weissa pushed it in.
Leicester struggled alone, Jamie Vardy alone, but it began to crumble. In the 26th minute of the first half, he failed to press and gave up space in an instant. Brentford ace Brian Mbormo lost another point as he melted into his personal skills.
Leicester, who began to lose their fighting spirit, lost a series of points five minutes later when they failed to block Christian Neurgaard's header from a free-kick. Leicester fans began to leave the stadium when Leicester, which had fallen to the relegation zone, were on the verge of disaster in the 32nd minute of the first half at home.
Leicester struggled to save their last hope early in the second half, but Brentford were not the team to easily allow a run. Brentford were one level above Leicester in counter-attacks and defence. Brentford completed a 4-0 victory just before the end of the second half when Fabio Carvalho scored an additional goal. Most of the Leicester fans who came to the stadium went home before the game was over.
The heavy rain at the King Power Stadium showed Leicester's grim atmosphere. Leicester failed to score again this time, setting the first record in EPL history. It has become a historic team with no goals during six league games played at home.
Since the 0-3 league home defeat against Wolverhampton on 22 December 2024, two months ago, it has been five consecutive scoreless defeats at home, with Manchester City (0-2), Crystal Palace (0-2), Fulham (0-2), and Arsenal (0-2), with one more game.
Leicester are expected to be relegated as it is. Leicester experienced shock relegation two seasons ago and returned after winning the English Championship (minor league) in one season. However, he is having a rough season from his first season of promotion.
Steve Cooper, who was brought in after Enzo Maresca's departure for Chelsea, was replaced early on due to squad feuds. He boldly brought in Van Nistelrooy, who showed his potential as United's interim manager. Van Nisteloui looked set to save Leicester with a win on his debut but that was it.
In their last 13 games, Leicester have shown a desperate record of 2 wins and 11 losses. Even one of the two wins was an FA Cup match against Championship club Queens Park Rangers. If you look at the league alone, it means 1 win and 11 losses. Leicester have not even strengthened properly in the winter transfer market, so there is a shadow of relegation.
