Leicester football club are continuing to show that in life one must never count out an underdog.
Their achievement in this years premiership is a reminder of how far determination can take one when determination and application is to utilized. No team has ever failed to win the premiership from the position they currently are in, and they are the first team to go from so low in the pecking order of the premiere league football teams , to such a high level of accomplishment.Leicester demonstrated a high level of competence in the effective way they countered Newcastle in their Monday game, although Newcastle deserved at least a draw. They were all over the Leicester side, but the latter stood tough. Newcastle just could not find the finishing touch to at least draw with Leicester in the way they deserved. Their tenacity was remarkable but insufficient to quench the steady resilience of the determined Leicester side who were durable and excellent at hitting their opponents on the break.
Claudio Ranieri has clearly done something right. He has elevated his team from zero to hero and shut his critics up. Before now, many of the Leicester players were virtual unknowns, but not anymore. They have nine games to go, but it is now very unlikely they would miss the chance to achieve the ultimate prize of winning the championships and setting a high and enviable standard for not just football teams, but also people and organizations from all walks of life.
