“I have to focus, work hard, of course, and I’ve done that throughout my career”.
Leicester are two points behind United in the Premier League, with Mourinho having lost three straight games in all competitions, including a derby defeat to Manchester City, before Wednesday’s 3-1 EFL Cup win at Northampton. “But that’s the new football.it’s full of Einsteins”.

“But it’s not going to finish off our season”.

“It’s prehistoric”, Ranieri told reporters at a news conference. I love red wine and if he offers I will go and drink it with him.
“I had a good feeling about it right away when I heard about Bayern Munich’s interest”, Sanches said.

“He is a great manager, a fantastic person”, said Ranieri.
