TEAM IS TOGETHER
The Leicester City defender Paul Konchesky has said that the last minute goal by Vardy in the match against Barnsley shows the team togetherness and spirit. Leicester City are one of the teams challenging for promotion spot this season.
They are currently on a play-off position in the fifth of the championship table. Their recent form has seen them slip from the top two positions, but the defender Paul Konchesky is still confident of qualifying to the Premier league automatically. He said after the match against Barnsley that the team spirit shown to equalise the match when everything seemed lost will certainly push them towards promotion.
The former Liverpool defender is one of the star names in the squad. His presence has helped Leicester City to find the challenge for a promotion spot. They were expected to be challenging for promotion a long time back, but the expensively assembled squad is right now capable of achieving promotion according to the former Fulham and Liverpool left back. Knockaert opened the scoring after just 9 min on the clock for Leicester City, but two goals by Barnsley players within a gap of more than 10 min meant that they were trailing going into the final few minutes of the encounter.
However, a goal from Vardy in the 90th minute helped Leicester City take a point from the match. "I think we've stuck together a lot more. When we do concede goals or start losing, we always think we've got a chance to get back into the game. That was proved against Barnsley. We had a lot of chances but it wasn't going in for us and we went to the 90th minute. If it takes that long to win games, or draw games, then we'll do it. You could see the team spirit we had," said Konchesky.
