Ranieri: Leicester Will Not Be Like Chelsea

tmp_5982-ranieri855956702
Leicester City manager, Claudio Ranieri is insisting his men will not collapse like Chelsea did, following their EPL win.
The blues won the EPL in the 2014-15 season, but an underwhelming 2015/16 season, saw them finish 10th on the table. Chelsea recorded only 12 wins out of 38 games in the league, with Jose Mourinho getting sacked.
Despite their fairytale triumph last season, Leicester has once again been written off, but Ranieri insists they’ll turn up.
“When I build something, it is never destroyed,” the 64-year-old told reporters ahead of Sunday’s Community Shield against Manchester United at Wembley.
“My philosophy is to watch your house, not other houses. It’s important what happens here. My house is very clean and very clear.
“Slowly, we try to build the first floor and the second floor. The foundation is very solid.
“I don’t know what happened [to Chelsea]. They were the champions.
“I spoke with my players and I said: ‘I know you very well now and I want more. Forget what we achieved, I want more.’
“I am very curious what we can do now. One of my strengths is always to have the right balance, never give up. I always believe in myself and, if one man wants to do something, in the end he will achieve something.”

IYC begs Buhari to act on his appeals to end militancy

OVIE OKPARE, WARRI The umbrella body for Ijaw youths, Ijaw Youth Council has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to act on his appeals to Niger Delta militants to halt hostilities by personally kick-starting the dialogue process with stakeholders in the region. A statement signed by the spokesman for the group, Eric Omare, on Sunday, stressed that only a genuine and serious engagement with Niger Delta people would address the recurring agitation from the people. The group which was reacting to recent appeal by the President, urging the rampaging militants to embrace and halt further attacks on oil facilities in the region, said multiplicity of new militant group was not a barrier to achieving peace if the government was sincere. It maintained that for a lasting peace to be achieved in the region, President Buhari must been seen leading such discussion, citing instance of his predecessors rather than sending surrogate to negotiate on his behalf. The IYC statement read, “Th...
