Another home stalemate with Bournemouth kicked off 2016 as Leicester wobbled after Artur Boruc saved Mahrez’s spot kick to leave them two points behind leaders Arsenal. “I’m a pragmatic man, I just wanted to win match after match and help my players to improve week after week”, said Ranieri, who made a brief trip home to Italy on Monday to see his 96-year-old mother.
“People saw it last season when everyone expected us to be relegated, but we fought back to prove people wrong”, Morgan said. This season’s been a continuation of that.
According to multiple reports a couple weeks ago, Leicester City Manager Claudio Ranieri is being backed for a knighthood by a cross-party group of MPs if he guides Leicester to the title.
Doubts were raised over whether boss Claudio Ranieri could stave off a battle against relegation when he was appointed as Nigel Pearson’s successor on July 13. “The players have been fantastic”.
At Chelsea on Monday night there wasn’t bitterness that the Blues were surrendering the title to a footballing minnow but joy that Ranieri was the beneficiary.
Tottenham, who have not won at the Bridge since 1990, remained a threat and Begovic twice saved to deny Kane, keeping out a header and a low shot from the England striker. Fans chanted “Leicester!” repeatedly during the six minutes of stoppage time.
Ranieri, who was sacked by Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich in 2004, guided the Foxes to a remarkable title success, sealed when Tottenham conceded a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 in a bad-tempered clash at Stamford Bridge. There was no tension when they started smelling the title.
Chelsea players will form a guard of honor for Leicester’s players when they play at the London club in the season finale on May 15.
“But before I give a judgement, I must look at it very calmly”.
Gary Cahill scored for Chelsea in the 58th and Eden Hazard equalized in the 83rd.
Begovic will be between the sticks again as Thibaut Courtois completes his two-match ban for his second red card of the year, but the Belgium keeper reportedly wants to leave the team since they will not be in Champions League next season.
Leicester will now get their hands on their maiden top-flight title after the full-time whistle sounds in their next game against Everton at the King Power Stadium on Saturday, before they face off against Chelsea on the final day of the campaign. Chelsea, incredibly, is 29 points back.
“There is nothing more to say, it was emotion”. “His voice was trembling a bit, but I don’t know if he was crying because it wasn’t a FaceTime call! We create a good atmosphere on the training ground, and we can achieve big things in the future”, he said.
