Leicester City Manager, Claudio Ranieri has said that he is not surprise about the performance of Ghanaian international Jeff Schlupp in the Foxes’ 4-0 win over Swansea City on Sunday.
With all headlines on Jamie Vardy being missing for the game with suspension, Ulloa took his starting spot and to help rest Albrighton and introduce some extra pace, Schlupp also came back in, and for Ranieri they did what was expected of them – because it’s a group effort and everyone has their part to play.
Speaking to the club’s official website as his players turn their attention to Manchester United and knowing his side are only three points away from lifting the Premier League title, Ranieri explained that he continued to be proud of everyone in the squad as they battle for trophy.
“No pressure. They [Ulloa and Schlupp] wanted to play and deserved to play because not all the time they play but they deserve it. The first XI played so well and for me it`s difficult to change when the team works so well. I changed a little because I wanted the power of Jeff and the heading ability of Leo. Everybody contributes to make Leicester top of the league. Demarai too has a very good future if he stays calm, listens and improves.’
With Tottenham drawing on Monday night against West Bromwich Albion, a first ever Premier League title is in Leicester’s hands with three games remaining.
