London: Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri says he is not worried by the English champions poor domestic run and had every confidence they would rediscover their winning ways.
The 64-year-old Italian added the manner in which the team was showing fighting qualities satisfied him they would turn the corner sooner or later. The Foxes have won just twice in eight Premier League games, hardly the ideal preparation for today's Champions League Group G game with second-placed FC Copenhagen even if the English side top the table having won their first two games in the competition.
"Sometimes you can play well and sometimes not so well. Like at Manchester United, the first half at Chelsea was no good but in the second half we played very well," said Ranieri. "I am very confident about my team. They fight and last season we were more compact but now everyone knows about us. Now we are in the balance, in the middle, and not as good as last season but it's normal for a team like Leicester."
