“No, no, no. We have only to prove to ourselves that we are stronger, that we want to win, ” Ranieri said.

After completing an unbelievable fairytale last season, Leicester City have been on a nightmare run.
Mahrez, who won the PFA Player of the Year award as the Foxes took out the title, expressed his gratitude to the East Midlands club for giving him the chance to shine at the top level.
Danny Murphy says Arsenal’s lack of creativity at King Power Stadium was a real concern after Saturday’s goalless draw with Leicester City.
“I’m like you, in life it is very hard to know”.
The rumours surrounding Mahrez obviously did not help the Foxes (and about Vardy in the last few months), but now that both of them have signed new deals, it remains to be seen if the champions can bounce back. Our owner is very ambitious, he wants to maintain the same squad.
“Every time I thought about it, my heart and head were coming to the same answer, which was to stay”, the 29-year-old said. After tormenting the Gunners on the pitch past year, scoring all three goals Leicester scored, and off the pitch this summer, the Englishman will hop to ruin Arsenal’s day yet again.
“Do you give the player normal holiday and they aren’t ready, or they are mentally and physically jaded”.
The first incident occurred just before half-time when Riyad Mahrez slid Jamie Vardy down the right-hand channel of the box.
Asked if he was respectful of Vardy’s decision, Wenger told BT Sport: “Of course”.
Manager Arsene Wenger admits that the recall of Koscielny is a gamble but it might be a risk worth taking, with captain Per Mertesacker and Gabriel both out injured.
Arsenal played their first game of the season against Liverpool at home and lost the game by 3-4.

“That is why we also buy young centre-backs to develop, because when you have one or two of the quality to make it to the top it is fantastic because it is a position that is hard to find, especially at the big clubs”.
