Nigerian striker, Kelechi Iheanacho has expressed confidence that Leicester City will qualify for their first ever European competition final ahead their Europa Conference League semi-final clash against Roma.
The Foxes will face Jose Mourinho’s Roma for the return leg at the Stadio Olimpico on Thursday night, after playing out a 1-1 draw at the King Power Stadium last week.
The aggregate winners will face either Feyenoord or Olympique Marseille in the final in Albania on May 25.
Iheanacho who was on song for the Foxes as they crumbled against Tottenham over the weekend, said the team’s focus had shifted from Saturday’s disappointing defeat.
“We are really disappointed in the game,” was quoted on club’s official website. “We lost, and obviously, we played well in both halves. But what changed the course was the goals. We’re always together when we win and when we lose, so we won’t dwell. We’ll move forward, and hopefully, we’ll sort that out and focus on the next games.
“We were getting in the right positions and moving the ball quite well. [The goals] changed the course of the game. That’s what we need to correct. We won’t dwell on it, we need to focus and concentrate on the next game.”
“We have a good squad, we can change things around. Hopefully, it will work quite well for us. They have a strong team, but we’re looking to get to the final.
“Our supporters always support us, in good and bad situations. They’re always there for us. We’ll keep going and keep giving them our best and hopefully we’ll get something for them on Thursday.”
