“Nobody Wants To Win Crazy Premier League!” – Leicester Coach
Manchester City’s away form has been poor this season and the tradition continued at the King’s Power Stadium.
Asked about skipper Kompany’s latest injury setback, boss Pellegrini revealed: “Vincent has a second degree tear of the calf”.
“I’m not a doctor, but normally a muscle injury less than three or four weeks is very hard in the calf”.
“We hope that he can recover as soon as he can but it’s very important until we solve this to defend the way we did in this game”. “We are a little disappointed we didn’t make the most of our chances but 0-0 against Man City is a result to be proud of”.
Vardy now earns around £40,000 after signing a new contract past year, according to The Telegraph, and although the club owners have put in place a strict wage budget, they recognise the fact that their top players have to be rewarded.
“It’s a clean sheet, that’s the positive, but the negative is it’s a game we should win”, said Hart, after seeing his side fail to win on the road in the Premier League for a sixth successive game.
The key moment in the match came in the 63rd minute as City striker Sergio Aguero looked to have been brought-down in the box by Leicester midfielder Gokhan Inler.
“But it was a tough game against a very good team, playing here away”.
“There were a lot of people looking at the City game who might have thought we would have fallen off after being beaten”.
“We did more than Leicester to win the game”.
Of the whole performance, the former Chelsea man also made it clear that his team “played calm, fast and pressed high when it was possible” – an extremely encouraging assessment considering the difficulty that the Foxes’ opponents brought to the game on the night. “I am also happy that we kept a clean sheet”, said Otamendi.
Kompany is likely to miss the second leg at the Etihad on January 13, as well as subsequent league fixtures against Crystal Palace and West Ham.
Leicester will end 2015 with a share of the Premier League lead after entering the year at the bottom of the table.
“We’ve had a fantastic half-season, it’s unbelievable what we are doing and we must continue”.
“We are halfway through the season and we want to push on in the second half of the season”. Win or lose for me it was the same and the team responded very well.
