In the quarter-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations, Nigeria lost 0-1 to Tunisia and was eliminated. Considering that Nigeria is the only team to win all three games in the group stage, such a result is unexpected by many people. There is a way in which some rejoice and some are worried. For Nigeria's exit, Leicester City fans are definitely the most pleased. The reason is simple, the two main players Ndidi and Isinacho will not have to continue to participate in the Africa Cup of Nations. Over the next half-month off-season, former Premier League champions can regroup to continue to impact European qualification.
On the one hand, Nigeria, which won all three games in the group stage, and Tunisia, who advanced as the third in the group. Before the match, the media and fans generally believed that Nigeria would be the winner of the promotion. After all, the African Eagles are in better shape and stronger, and the team has a group of stars who can change the game by their individual ability, such as Ndidi and Isinajo.
Who would have thought that nigeria, which is full of stars, overturned the ship in the gutter. Not only was it unable to tear tunisia's defence apart, but it scored a goal at the beginning of the second half. To make matters worse, Iwobi, who came on as a substitute, was sent off for pedaling. In the face of Tunisia's steady counterattack, Nigeria, which plays one less person, has no way to score. In the end, Nigeria, which had won three African Cups of Nations, lost the match 0-1 and then was eclipsed. Such results have surprised many people's medical treatment.
For Nigeria's exit, Leicester City fans are definitely the most pleased. Because this means that the two main players in the team, Ndidi and Ichinacho, do not have to continue to play with Nigeria in the Africa Cup of Nations. It is important to know that in light of Nigeria's strength, it is widely believed that the African Eagles will make it all the way to the final. This is not a good thing for Leicester City, which has recently been plagued by a wave of injuries and illnesses, which has been plagued by a shortage of major generals.
If you think about it, don't look at the highlights of Isinacho and Ndidi in the Africa Cup of Nations, but their role in Leicester City is very prominent. Known as the new Kante, Ndidi is one of the Premier League's best defensive backs, with figures such as steals and interceptions consistently in the top few of the league. Isinacho's performance is slightly inferior, but his two-striker pairing with Vardy is still not to be underestimated. Especially in key matches, Isinacho, who has a big heart, has repeatedly played amazingly.
After this round of Premier League draws with Brighton, Leicester City are temporarily in tenth place in the league table. Even considering that Leicester City has missed four rounds due to the epidemic and other reasons, such results are difficult to satisfy. Fortunately, Ndidi and Isinaccio, the two main players of attack and defense, have returned en masse. Leicester City can fully use the next half a month offseason to re-integrate the squad and wait until the league starts again to continue to attack European competition and even Champions League qualification at its best!
