🗣️ Claudio Ranieri: "I remember my first meeting with the chairman when I arrived at Leicester City. He sat down with me and said, “Claudio, this is a very important year for the club. It is very important for us to stay in the Premier League. We have to stay safe.”
My reply was, “Okay, sure. We’ll work hard on the training ground and try to achieve this.”
Forty points. That was the goal. That was the total we needed to stay in the first division, to give our fans another season of Premier League football.
Perhaps you have heard their names now. Players who were considered too small or too slow for other big clubs. N’Golo Kanté. Jamie Vardy. Wes Morgan. Danny Drink water. Riyad Mahrez. When I arrived my first day of training and I saw the quality of these players, I knew how good they could be.
Well, I knew we had a chance to survive in the Premier League.
This player Kanté, he was running so hard that I thought he must have a pack full of batteries hidden in his shorts. He never stopped running in training.
I had to tell him, “Hey, N’Golo, slow down. Slow down. Don’t run after the ball every time, okay?”
He says to me, “Yes, boss. Yes. Okay.”
Ten seconds later, I look over and he’s running again.
I tell him, “One day, I’m going to see you cross the ball, and then finish the cross with a header yourself.”
He’s unbelievable, but he is not the only key. There are too many keys to name in this incredible season.
Jamie Vardy, for example. This is not a footballer. This is a fantastic horse. He has a need to be free out there on the pitch. I say to him, “You are free to move however you want, but you must help us when we lose the ball. That’s all I ask of you. If you start to press the opposition, all of your teammates will follow you.”
Before we played our first match of the season, I told the players, “I want you to play for your teammates. We are a little team, so we have to fight with all our heart, with all our soul. I don’t care the name of the opponent. All I want is for you to fight. If they are better than us, Okay, congratulations. But they have to show us they are better.”"
@jamrockjay71@GuzKhanOfficial It’s a bit of a strange question, as being Muslim is about faith and being British is about nationality—they’re not mutually exclusive. Like many others, I’m a proud British Muslim and a third generation here
