Ranieri says Leicester not nervous as title becomes a reality

Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri has insisted that his players are not feeling the pressure as they march towards the Premier League title.

Following the weekend's results, the Foxes find themselves at the top of the league table with a five-point lead over second-placed Tottenham and an eight-point lead over third-placed Arsenal, but Ranieri insists there is no anxiousness among the camp of the East Midlands club.

"We are not nervous, our job is done and our job was to save the team," said Ranieri.

"This is an amazing season for us and everything we achieve is something more.

"The others must be nervous, the others spend a lot of money to win the title. We have to build slowly, slowly.

"This year is a crazy season for us, for everybody and we are happy and we have to enjoy.

"We know very well this is a strange chance that we have but we want to fight and then nobody can say 'we were nervous'. No. We are focused and everything could happen."
