Can Leicester City go all the way?

The Foxes are about to make history, winning The Premier League title for the first time. But, can Leicester City handle the pressure? There are still 9 rounds until the end of the season and The Foxes are lying in the first place, having collected 60 points – 5 more than second-placed Tottenham Hotspur. Claudio Ranieri’s players are showing the needed consistency, but they will surely feel tired in the last few rounds of the competition.

Leicester City have performed really well so far. They won 17 of their 29 league matches and have lost on only 3 occasions. And the most unbelievable thing about their record is the fact that they have almost been relegated in the previous season. In addition to the fact that the Foxes’ players have pulled together, they are showing great discipline and give 100% in every single game until the very last seconds of the matches.

Despite their bench isn’t as ‘long’ as it should be, Claudio Ranieri can be happy his key player avoided injuries all season long. The Italian manager uses a consistent starting eleven, which is helpful for developing the style of the team and if his key players prevent from injuries until the end of the season, The Foxes are capable of becoming the new champions! Furthermore, Leicester City didn’t sell their stars during the winter transfer window, which was again key for their further results.

Another important fact is that everyone is helping in defence. You can see the top goal-scorer Jamie Vardy, who bagged 19 goals in The Premier League, taking the ball from his own box and organizing a fast counter-attack. The Foxes are very clinical in attack. They are very good at finishing their goal-scoring chances. But, they are relying too much on the individual skills of Riyad Mahrez and the fast pace of Jamie Vardy.

However, the programme of The Foxes until the end of the season looks very difficult. They will host Newcastle United, Southampton, West Ham United, Swansea City and Everton, and will have to visit Crystal Palace, Sunderland, Manchester United and Chelsea in the final round. So, Claudio Ranieri’s players will have to take advantage of their games at The King Power Stadium and win as many points as possible.

All the people talk about the amazing performance of Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez, but the other key players for the success are Robert Huth, Wes Morgan and tireless N’Golo Kante. The German defender Huth scored 3 very important goals for The Foxes, securing 6 points against the main opponents Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City. Wes Morgan is one of the best defenders in the league and exactly because of him, Leicester City have conceded only 31 goals so far.

To continue, despite N’Golo Kante is at the age of 24, the Frenchman has been showing great consistency in his performance. All of his moves on the pitch look mature. Kante is a real hard-worker. We can usually see him making a tackle, then giving an accurate pass, which qualities are among the most important things in football.

At both ends, Leicester City must keep going and think only about the upcoming match. If Ranieri starts calculating points, they won’t lift the trophy…
