Wilfred Ndidi has admitted that morale is low in the Leicester City squad, but they are hopeful of turning their fortunes around and stay up in the Premier League.
This is just as fans of the club have called on the management to show coach Brendan Rogers the door after Tottenham thrash the Foxes 6-2 in Saturday’s game. Leicester are rock bottom on the log with just one point from six games.
“To be honest, it (the start to the season) hasn’t been ourselves, like previous seasons,” Ndidi told BBC Radio Leicester.
“It’s not what we really want. It’s obvious that we’ve not been ourselves, but the confidence has been low in those games. We’ll get there, to be honest. We’ll get there.”
However, he said the team is determined to turn things: “Of course. We know we’ve lost games and they’re not what we wanted, but we are still together. We know the fact we’ve got qualities in the team and know that we can still come up there (the table).
“There are many more games but the most important is the next game. We go for the next game, go for the other one, just to build confidence. That’s our plan: being together for each other and still keeping going.
“It still boils down to us being together,” Ndidi said. “Knowing the fact that the confidence is a bit low, we’re trying to build the confidence. Being together really helps. Talking to each other, knowing our mistakes, and knowing we have to improve on this and that.
“I think that alone – and most importantly, doing everything we can in training – those things transmit into games. We have to be together and look forward to what comes next.”
