I believe it's possible - star says Leicester can avoid relegation | OneFootball

One Leicester City star still believes the east Midlands club's situation can be turned around. He insists it remains possible for City to avoid relegation from the Premier League this season. I must admit that I admire this footballer's self-confidence. And the Blue Army at large will certainly appreciate the sentiment.

However, this promise is unlikely to affect the scenario LCFC find themselves in, sadly. It will be extremely difficult to realise the likeable defender's aim.

An athlete who is committed to an organisation and its wellbeing is an thoroughly priceless asset to have. But what did Ricardo Pereira say exactly?

But the Portuguese's drive and effort can be trusted one hundred per cent. After making a return versus Chelsea, he spoke to media:
