"“It is normal. I have a lot of experience. When a team is in Europe for the first time, when they play in your league they are a little up and down.”"
"“They are only human and not machines but I am very confident with my team. They fight.”"

"“Of course last season we were more compact and it was another style of football. Now everyone knows us and we try and change something. Now we are in the balance, in the middle, not as well as last season and in a new season.”"
"“But that is normal for a team like Leicester.”"
