Beijing time on January 5, the 20th round of the English Premier League focus game, Leicester City regret to lose 2-1 to Aston Villa. After the match, coach Van Nistelrooy faced the camera and showed a touch of disappointment.
Van Nistelrooy bluntly stated that his team had a reason to get a share of the spoils from this matchup. He pointed out that the first goal was conceded from a corner kick in the second half of the match, while the second was conceded in front of his own goal in a moment of unguarded defense. Nonetheless, he emphasized that the team as a whole was in control of the tempo and did not allow the opposition to take advantage of the situation. However, Van Nistelrooy still regrets the result of an empty-handed return.
He went on to elaborate that despite the challenging course of the game, Leicester City must turn that fighting spirit into fruits of victory. Looking back at last week's match against Manchester City, the team also put in a great effort to score. Van Nistelrooy believes that as long as Leicester City maintain their current level of play, the scales will eventually tip in their favor.
