On Leicester Winning UCL: Why Not?
Craig
Shakespeare is full of hope, as he believes the foxes can win the champions
league, should they overcome Sevilla.
Leicester
City play Sevilla in the second leg of the UCL last 16 on Tuesday. They lost
the first leg 2-1.
And
Shakespeare believes their away goal advantage, courtesy of Vardy is a plus for
his side.
Asked
if Leicester can win the Champions League, Shakespeare said at his pre-match
media conference: “Why not? We are in it. We have to try and be competitive
every game.
“There
is a great opportunity for us [against Sevilla] and we will give it our best
shot.
“We
have to compete for the 90 minutes or extra time. We have practiced penalties
and we try to leave no stone unturned. By the way the penalties were good!
“We
knew by getting the away goal it gave us a great opportunity. We give ourselves
a great chance.
“It
makes it very interesting. It will be a special occasion and the atmosphere
will be electric.
“We
are not going to be open but I want to play on the front foot. Hopefully I will
stay calm so the players are not overemotional, but of course I will be
excited.
“Sevilla
have huge experience in Europe. I will expect them to play the same way. They
have talented players. It is more about the players than me pitting my wits
against [Jorge Sampaoli].”
