Ranieri is a realist

Optimist or simply a realist, Leicester City’s manager Claudio Ranieri has no illusions that his team will be able to become the Premier League champion in the upcoming campaign in England. The new campaign is about to start, as The Foxes are going to visit the newly promoted side Hull City. Ranieri is very excited about the beginning of the new season, but he knows how difficult it would be, Leicester City to retain the trophy.

“I’m very, very curious what will happen during the season. All these great teams are ready to fight for the title and, of course, we are ready to defend it. A year ago, we were the total underdogs, as the bookies offered odds of 5000 / 1. I think that now the odds must be even higher – 6000 / 1. I think it is more likely aliens to land on “Piccadilly Circus” in London. But I think now the pressure on us is less. Now everything is different,” the manager of Leicester City – Claudio Ranieri said in an interview.

As it was 12 months ago, now the Italian specialist thinks primarily for avoiding relegation. And this will be the main objective for Leicester City during the next campaign. “Our goal is to win back 40 points and then we will see what is going to happen. We also want to earn some experience in the Champions League,” Claudio Ranieri added.

At both ends, I still haven’t seen aliens, but I have already seen Leicester City winning the Premier League title. So, everything is possible in football. Moreover, The Foxes kept almost all their key player, except N’Golo Kante, who joined Chelsea. In addition, the champions signed several very talented players, including Ahmed Musa and the Polish talent Kapustka. For sure, the next campaign will be the most competitive and interesting edition of The Premier League ever!
