Leicester City Players Lacked Belief Ahead Of Their Relegation – Roy Keane

Manchester United legend, Roy Keane has come out to say that Leicester City players stopped believing as they slid towards relegation. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, Leicester looked like a Championship side filled with players who were low on confidence before their relegation was confirmed, and the lack of self-belief is the reason why a turnaround was never coming.

Roy Keane added that the club looked very weak in defence, and it has been very tough since Ruud came in.

His words, “It’s been tough for Leicester this season. It’s been tough for Ruud since he’s come in, there are big problems, particularly at home. They can’t score a goal. Defensively, they look so weak. They look like a Championship side. They must be low on confidence, no self-belief.

There’s not a great atmosphere here, the fans have turned a little bit, maybe a little bit on Ruud and the ownership but they turned on the previous manager here even though he was doing okay when you look back at it. There’s definitely unrest in the camp which doesn’t help the players. But players have to go and be professional, play with a bit of pride and I think the players will try, obviously, they are doing that but I think their confidence and the belief has gone out of the dressing room.”

WOW.

Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.

Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.

Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.

The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992 the left and the right, but he’s not got any sense of danger yet, and empties the midfield area too readily.
