Ranieri Calls For Intelligent Palace Approach
Claudio Ranieri says his Leicester City side will have to show an intelligent approach if they are to beat Crystal Palace in the Premier League this Saturday afternoon.
- Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri is expecting ‘a battle’ against Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon
- The Foxes boss hopes that his side can take confidence from their 1-0 win over FC Copenhagen on Tuesday
- Ranieri believes Palace have similar qualities to Copenhagen
- The manager says Leicester will need to ‘be clever’ at King Power Stadium if they are to break the visitors down
Claudio Ranieri says his Leicester City side will have to show an intelligent approach if they are to beat Crystal Palace in the Premier League this Saturday afternoon.
Alan Pardew’s Eagles visit King Power Stadium looking to become the first team in more than a calendar year to beat the Foxes in the league in front of their own fans.
The Foxes are steadily building confidence though and head into the game on the back of a 1-0 UEFA Champions League victory at home to FC Copenhagen on Tuesday night.
It was a win that maintained their 100 percent record in the competition, however the manager has spoken at length about the importance of translating that form into the league.
They have a chance to do that against a talented Palace side on Saturday, and the manager hopes that the Copenhagen game has given them a timely boost in their quest for three points.
“It was very important,” Ranieri said of the Copenhagen clash. “[In the league] We are up and down, up and down. But it’s normal for a team like Leicester who are in the Champions League for the first time. It’s normal that the concentration is very high but you have to pay something when you come back to the Premier League. That is normal.
“We made a very good match but now we have to think about Crystal Palace. They are very tall and strong, similar to Copenhagen, but Crystal Palace have two wingers who are very, very fast.
“It is another battle. They are strong at the back and they have good players at the front. They are a very good team. They’re well organised and we have to be very clever.
“I want to find the right solution but this season I have to change something during the campaign when we play Champions League and Premier League.”
