This is not a good move for Leicester City who has lost all four of their premier League away games this season which is something their fans would not be able to take it easily. However their coach Claudio Ranieri believes that everything is under his control ahead of this Saturday’s visit to Tottenham Hotspur as per defender Christian Fuchs.
Fuchs said in an interview with Reuters that: “The manager is very relaxed and easy going, “He has a lot of experience and it’s not always the case that when something is going wrong that you have to scream at everybody. “Sometimes being calm… helps a lot as well. Ranieri definitely knows when to do what.”
Fuchs joined the club in July in 2015 on a free transfer from Schalke 04 and he is confident that Leicester can improve their form on the road at White Hart Lane against the team that posed their biggest threat in last season’s title race.
Fuchs said: “Spurs are good at keeping the ball and have a lot of possession, they’re a solid side and they’re a big team in England,” “For us, like we always do, we’re analysing their games and finding their weaknesses and their strengths so that we know what’s coming up.
“But most of all we are focussing on our own game, even though that hasn’t been so good away from home this season. Still, it’s another chance against a big team and we want to make our away games count,”
The 30 year old former Austrian acknowledges that Leicester are known for their quality and strength and Ballon d’Or nominated duo of Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez are adjusting to add strength to the team.
He said: Teams know how we play, obviously they’ve learnt from last year that we have a lot of pace up front and we’ve bought a lot of players that bring additional pace to that line-up,” he said.
“Riyad and Vards have the quality to win their one v one’s two v one’s. But in our last game against Crystal Palace there were three other goal scorers (in a 3-1 win).
“It’s not only down to our strikers to score. We’re a team that stick together,” added Fuchs as he pointed to his debut goal for the club, a rasping volley from 25 metres.
“I’m happy to do that (score goals),” Fuchs said laughing. “The goal came up when I opened all the social media channels. It was being posted all the time.
“It basically took a long time for me to score my first goal for Leicester but it was a nice one, which I am very happy about. I’ve watched it back once or twice, too.
“I think the fans and the whole of Leicester was just waiting for that moment so when it happened it was a great feeling.”
