The "Foxes" Leicester will go to Stamford Bridge to challenge the "Blue Lions" Chelsea in the 28th round of the 2024/25 Premier League. Bobby Reid said in an interview that the players must do their best to fight for each other and seize any opportunity.
After losing 0-2 to West Ham in the last round of the Premier League away game, Leicester is currently ranked 19th in the standings with 17 points. It is still not far away from the crisis of relegation, and has suffered a blow of four consecutive defeats before.
As for Chelsea, Maresca's team is currently ranked fifth in the standings with 46 points, and defeated Copenhagen 2-1 in the UEFA European Association League earlier, which has boosted their confidence and morale.
Leicester striker Bobby Reid, 32, said: "Every game in the Premier League is difficult, but facing Chelsea is undoubtedly one of the toughest challenges. They will have the ball for a long time, so we must be tactically resilient. We have to fight for each other and seize the opportunities that come. We need to be more decisive and efficient in the penalty area at both ends, and they are an excellent team."
"We know they have a lot of great players, but so do we. We have to work harder than them, maybe we won't have as much ball as they do, so we have to stay focused defensively, press and stay in shape to the extreme, so that we can gain something from this game."
"I need to use my experience to do everything well, understand the key moments of the game and feel the rhythm of the game, especially to find the right way to deal with the opponent's high pressure. We must be flexible and more decisive in both penalty areas."
When talking about the team's situation, Bobby Reid said, "I have been through similar situations and I know how to get out of trouble. At the same time, I have experienced relegation, which is not a good feeling. I don't want to experience it again. We must unite, whether it is the players, the coaching staff, or the club, we must work together and work together to get out of the current situation."
"We are well aware of the current situation and it is not just our team that is in a difficult situation. I think the current relegation situation will not be set in stone and the situation will continue to change. We must understand what it takes to win and do everything we can, whether the game is beautiful or not, to win and ensure that the team can stay in the Premier League."
