The head coach of "Leicester City," Claudio Ranieri, after the draw with "West Ham," did not blame the referee and added that he is proud of every player on his team.
Yesterday in the English Premier League, the "Foxes" clashed with the "West Ham" club. After Jamie Vardy's goal, the hosts took the lead, but the "hammers" turned the result in their favor towards the end of the match. Nevertheless, in the last minutes of the game, "Leicester" earned a penalty kick and secured important equalizing points.
"Fantastic. This is our spirit, in every game we play with this blood, heart, and soul. It was a great match," C. Ranieri said.
"I thanked my players and fans. We must believe in ourselves every time. This point is psychologically very important. Coming back to the game after a 1-2 result is difficult," the strategist continued.
From the beginning of the second half, the "Foxes" were forced to play with ten men, as J. Vardy received a second yellow card for simulation. C. Ranieri did not rush to criticize the referee, even though the match official received remarks from many experts.
"I can't comment on this situation. I judge my players, not the referee," the coach concluded.
"Leicester City," in the leader's position, still has an 8-point advantage over the closest pursuers. However, London's "Tottenham" will have the opportunity to reduce the gap to 5 points this evening.
