VAN NISTELROOY WANTS TO BE WITH LEICESTER DOWN TO THE LAST WIRE!

Leicester City FC head coach Ruud Van Nistelrooy gave his view on what he plans to do with his situation at the English Premier League club going forward.

Leicester suffered another defeat yesterday where they were beaten by West Ham United 2-0 in a Premier League encounter.

Mathematically, Van Nistelrooy can still save the top flight status of Leicester but he needs to start grinding the positive results as soon as possible.

Below is what coach Ruud Van Nistelrooy had to say in his post match interview as reported by SkySports News:

"The difference between the first and second half [was big]. The whole first half we were going back instead of putting our opponents under pressure.

"We don't have too many results. Also in bottom three. We were too passive and too secure in our defensive organisation. We didn't press the opponent at all. The backline was too deep, the midfield too.

"The second half you have a totally different game but you've conceded two.

"Nothing at all [changed tactically at half-time]. The intensity of the players. Forwards pressing. The higher back line and midfielders following on the pressure of the forwards.

"That is the way forward literally.

"When you are passive and hope the opponent doesn't score, you call it upon yourself. The easy goals we conceded are a part of it.

"We are still in this fight. We're mathematically there. We will keep fighting as long as we can.

"It must be clear the fight was only one half today and that's not enough."
