No break for Leicester: Title-winners train after partying

Forgive me if I don’t join the nation – I mean bandwagon – in congratulating Leicester City on their Premier League title success. They started this season as among the favorites to be relegated again.

Leicester’s squad was assembled for £57m, the cheapest of any now in the top half of the Premier League. No. I don’t think we can but we want to continue to build. When I came here, the project was to build a foundation and to fight for the Europa League in three to four years.

“I can’t wait to get my hands on the trophy”, added the centre back, who will hoist it in front of the club’s fans after the home game against Everton.

She said: “Leicester City’s fantastic win is truly the stuff of legends and has thrust the players, the fans, the city and Britain as the “home of football” into the global spotlight”.

“Next year’s Premier League will feature new managers for both Chelsea and Manchester City, and we may yet see the return of Jose Mourinho to these shores”. I don’t want to sell anybody though, but of course if some players don’t want to stay with us because they are unhappy to continue with us, then I don’t want unhappy people. I am very, very happy now because maybe if I won this title at the beginning of my career maybe I would forget.

Schwarzer is “99.9 per cent sure” he will be leaving Leicester in the summer but the 43-year-old stopper hopes the club keep their key players, including Jamie Vardy, whose 22 goals have been vital to the team’s success. “There’s an old adage in bookmaking; if you don’t let the punters win occasionally, they won’t be there for very long”, he said.

Kimberley Brainer, 22, said: “I don’t know whether to laugh or cry – I knew I was going to have a meltdown”. He became the first African to win a England’s Player of the Year award.

In a statement, he said winning his first top-flight title was an “amazing feeling”.

“Ranieri has done an outstanding job with his Leicester“, the Azzurri boss told ANSA.

“I never expected this when I arrived. It’s just worked. It’s one of them things where everyone has come together and the game, they make it really simple, but it is effective”.
