Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri: "My team is like the RAF"

Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri claims that his side boast similarities to the Royal Air Force due to the speed of their players.

Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri has claimed that his side are similar to the Royal Air Force because of their impressive start to the season.

The Foxes have taken 11 points from their first five matches of the campaign, including their 3-2 comeback win over Aston Villa in their last outing at the King Power Stadium, to sit second in the table.

Ranieri feels that his side share similarities with the air force due to their impressive start and rapid players down the flanks, which he believes has been the driving force of their success.

He told reporters: "I say my team is like the RAF. I like to keep possession of the ball, but we don't have those characters so I prefer to go straight away.

"I enjoy it a lot, when I see and feel the spirit. We may lose, but when you feel your players give 100% you can say nothing more.

"Defeat is only behind the corner so you have to be very focused and concentrate. If they don't take it seriously – I kill them!"

Leicester take on Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium later today.
