Marty Cifuentes believes the team showed great morale and a never-give-up spirit


Leicester City manager Matti Cifuentes said his team played well on Saturday, securing three points with a 3-1 victory. Abdel Fattahau and Yannick Vestergaard scored late in the match. Earlier, Adam Idah's penalty equalized the score, responding to Jordan James' early goal.  

 

Leicester City turned their previous run of four draws into a seven-match unbeaten run, moving them up to third in the Sky Bet Champions League standings. As manager Matí Cifuentes noted after the match, the team displayed a more positive attitude towards the end of the game, a change that fans felt reassured as they headed home.  

 

"I'm very happy," said Marty Cifuentes. "Not only are these three points important for us, but we also beat a very strong team. Even though we encountered some difficulties during the game, the team's overall performance was still very good."  

 

"I think the team showed excellent spirit and tenacious willpower, and we have made significant progress in several areas that we had previously focused on improving. This has been a challenging journey, and I sincerely thank everyone for their support. I hope the players can go home with the joy of this victory. We will reflect on when we lose, but we should also enjoy ourselves when we win. I hope everyone can relax and celebrate these three points."  

 

Jordan James netted his second goal in as many games and opened the scoring against Wrexham in midweek. He has been impressive and in top form since joining Leicester City on loan from Rennes on transfer deadline day.  

 

The head coach said: "He played very well and the goal was a brilliant one. I thought the team played very well in the first 20 minutes and the overall tempo and intensity were very high. He is the player who can bring that positive influence to us."  

 

"He has excellent ability to break through the penalty area and score, and he also contributes a lot to the team in all aspects of the game. However, the focus of this game is not just on him, all the players deserve praise. The performance of several new players is also satisfactory, and they have brought important support to the team."  

 

"Abdel Fatao went through a difficult period due to injury last season, and I am very satisfied with his condition now. When we first took over the team, we needed to take some special care of him, but now he has recovered well. He is focused in training and is a very valuable player for the team."  

 

“I think Jeremy Monga also played very well. The key is to fully tap the potential of our lineup and let every player contribute to the team. This is very important for us. We can't just rely on the forwards to score goals. As a whole, we must show an excellent team performance, and today's game is the best proof of that.”  

 

"Even the players who came on as substitutes performed very well in the final minutes. Whether it was Caleb Okoli, Silko Thomas or Boubakary Soumare, all the substitutes played an important role. I am very happy for them. This once again proves the overall strength of the team. We must realize that the Champions League is a long journey with intensive and difficult matches. One of our strengths is the close unity of the team and the ability of every player to contribute."
