“This is the only SECRET way the squad has to follow to make us stay in the Premier League, there’s no other way”- “Ruud van Nistelrooy REVEALS the SHOCKING Secret Leicester City must follow to Survive in the Premier League
Ruud van Nistelrooy believes Leicester City will need contributions from the entire squad throughout the season to secure their Premier League survival, following Bobby De Cordova-Reid’s crucial equalizer off the bench against Brighton.
The Foxes extended their unbeaten run under Van Nistelrooy, thanks to Jamie Vardy’s sixth goal of the season and De Cordova-Reid’s first for the club. The point keeps Leicester five points clear of the relegation zone, maintaining Van Nistelrooy’s perfect record so far.
For the second consecutive match, Van Nistelrooy utilized all five of his available substitutes, with De Cordova-Reid and Stephy Mavididi playing key roles, following Patson Daka’s match-winning impact against West Ham.
Speaking after the draw with Brighton, Van Nistelrooy highlighted the significance of having players who can make a difference when called upon from the bench. “It’s massive, it’s vital,” he said when asked about squad depth.
“I mentioned this last week when I had my first meeting with the team at Seagrave. I can’t believe it’s only been one week!
“This squad has to perform if we are to stay in the Premier League—there’s no other way. We need the starting 11, and we need our five substitutes to contribute. I expect a lot from the wingers, both off and on the ball, and from the full-backs and strikers. I’m happy that we have a lot of options to choose from, and I’ve used all of them in these two games.”
