The Foxes boss made the statement at his press conference prior to the match against the Villans on Saturday evening.
Leicester City will take a trip to Villa Park for the Premier League match against Aston Villa on Saturday 4 January, 2025 at 16:00 (WAT).
The Foxes have recorded zero (0) win in their last five (5) encounters in all competitions; and are currently sitting inside the red zone, on the 19th spot.
At his press conference, Nistelrooy said:
On the Man City game…
“The performance on its own was very good, the way we showed ourselves on and off the ball. A big indicator was the reaction of the crowd, there was a good connection between the crowd and the players.”
On winning moving forward…
“It is vital [to get points] and we know that. Every game we plan to get results, and we will continue doing that. Going into the second half of the season, it’s clear where we are in the table and points can get us out of it.”
On Aston Villa match…
“They are doing an excellent job. Unai Emery is a top coach, I have followed him for many years, and it is very clear what he wants from his team and how he has them playing. There’s quality there.”
On his first month with the Foxes…
“When you join and then play six games in a month, along with training sessions and getting to know the players on a personal level, you learn a lot. It was such an important month to assess the squad.”
