Ruud van Nistelrooy on Leicester City’s fight for survival: ‘That’s why I get up every morning’

Ruud van Nistelrooy has revealed how the entire Leicester City squad is fighting hard to survive relegation from the Premier League.

Leicester are in 19th place, with eight games left to go.

“We live in reality,” the boss said, via LeicestershireLive.

“We know what the situation is, 12 points with eight games to play. Mathematically it’s not over and we have a responsibility to keep going and there’s no other way than doing that.

“It’s personal pride and honour by doing the job as good as you can, that is my drive. That’s why I get up every morning.

“That demands character, resilience in dealing with the situation you’re in, looking in the mirror and going back to the players and staff and do better, and get the best out of people around you. That is how I try to do it.”
