Liverpool, Feb 1 (NationPress) Leicester City will not ease up as they prepare to face Everton this weekend, as emphasized by Manager Ruud van Nistelrooy. The Foxes are heading into their final Premier League match at Goodison Park with renewed confidence following a significant win against Tottenham Hotspur.
Now up against a team just above them in the league standings, there is a lot at stake in Merseyside. Head coach Ruud Van Nistelrooy remarked:
“I don’t feel any change in the intensity of our training after the win. We’ve been practicing in a manner that ensures those standards are consistently met. Our performances have been commendable.
“In that regard, we are stable and performing well, and rightly so, as we gear up to start preparing ourselves to the fullest. Training always maintains that level of intensity. Of course, securing three points away from home is significant for us considering our position in the league.
“You can argue that, given our current form, it was crucial to achieve a win, and acquiring those three extra points was vital. Discussions have revolved around results and performances, and rightly so.
“Against Spurs, what stood out was our well-organized team that defended excellently and maintained compactness. On the ball, we demonstrated our capabilities. It was impressive to see our two away goals against a team of their caliber,” stated Van Nistelrooy.
Holding cherished memories of Goodison Park from his playing days, where he netted five goals in five visits, van Nistelrooy recognizes the significance of the venue, along with the boost David Moyes has provided since returning as Toffees manager, winning two of his first three matches.
“It’s a classic venue in English football. If you wish to showcase an English football stadium and its atmosphere to someone from abroad, that’s one I would recommend. The historic stands, the unique character, and the proximity to the pitch – it’s steeped in history and quintessential for a Premier League club.
“I understand the experience of playing there, but I also know that every away match in the Premier League presents circumstances where the crowd plays a role. With the experience within our squad, we are capable of managing that,” he concluded.
