Jordan James said that if the team can win against Swansea City on Saturday and take away three points, it will inject huge motivation into the subsequent international match day. The midfielder, who joined Leicester City on loan from Rennes, has quickly integrated into the team atmosphere. Having played for most of his career at Birmingham City, he is no stranger to the Leicester City environment.
Right now, though, his focus is entirely on Leicester City. Jordan James reached a new milestone in his career against Wrexham in midweek. Under the lights of the King Power Stadium, he scored his first goal for the club in the first half. The strike was the result of a seamless link-up play with Harry Winks and Patterson Daka, as he built a powerful attack from deep and slotted home a precise finish.
Jordan James admitted: "That moment was full of pride for me and my family. I have watched it many times! It is often not easy to score the first goal when joining a new team, so I am very happy to score as early as possible. I hope to continue to score more goals in the future."
"This game allowed me to show my style. That goal was perfect and exactly what I wanted to do. I was able to turn around, play a one-two with my teammate, and finally score, which made me very satisfied."
Looking back at the team's recent performance, they have only earned four points in their previous four Championship games. In this regard, Jordan James admitted that the result against Wrexham was disappointing because the level of competition in the group stage was much higher than expected.
He added: "We were in control for most of the game but lost the rhythm in the last 20 minutes. Overall, we played the better game and deserved the three points, so it felt more like we dropped two points. Four draws in a row would mean staying unbeaten, but at this club, a draw isn't enough. We never go into a game expecting a draw because our goal is always to take all three points, no matter who we play against."
“It’s a shame we didn’t win against Wrexham, but now the whole team is focused on the upcoming game against Swansea City. Saturday’s game is crucial for us and we need to turn the situation around. If we can get three points into the break, it will mean a lot to the team.”
“We know Swansea City are very good in possession, which means the game will be very interesting and the fans will definitely enjoy a great match. I know some of their players from my time with the Wales national team, so it will be fun to beat them before we go to training camp.”
