Ruud Van Nistelrooy has laid to rest fears he could reach 0 just 56 days into his tenure at Leicester.
The Dutch manager, who replaced Steve Cooper in December, has overseen seven official defeats in the Premier League. Another loss to Tottenham on Sunday equaled the club record set in 2001.
“I'm focused on keeping this team out of the situation, that's my only concern.
“I, along with the players, along with everyone at Leicester, to get the best out of these players and make the best of them in difficult times. In difficult times, you have to be strong, you have to show character,
“We are united and committed. This is 0 spirit. I can fight a team with spirit. We will continue and end this run.”
Leicester ST, 19, is two points from safety after last Saturday's 2-0 defeat to Fulham.
“We know where we are in the league, but we come out of this situation for the rest of the game.
“Sunday is a new game. When you need character, togetherness. Like us.”
You make the patient to sell
Van Nistelrooy has said that midfielder Wilfried NDIDI is not for sale this month due to speculation with a move to Monaco.
“No, no,” said Ndidi, returning from a simple injury.
“Wilfred is a key player at the club and as a player, he's in the squad and I'm delighted he's there to help the team again.
“We know how much we've missed him. Wilf will be key in the coming months, a key part of this team that will get us out of this situation.”
