Van Nistelrooy Focuses on Long-Term Goals After Recent Defeats Ahead of Liverpool Clash

Posted : 25 December 2024

Ruud van Nistelrooy is focusing on the long-term goal after a mixed start to his tenure as Leicester manager. Despite a winning debut against West Ham earlier this month, Leicester has suffered two heavy defeats, losing 4-0 to Newcastle and 3-0 to Wolves in their most recent outings. Ahead of their Boxing Day clash against Premier League leaders Liverpool, van Nistelrooy emphasized the importance of keeping perspective amidst the ups and downs of the season.

 

The Dutch manager stressed that reacting to each weekly result, whether positive or negative, is not the professional approach. "We know we're in it for the long run," he said, highlighting the importance of staying focused on the bigger picture and the end-of-season goals. Van Nistelrooy explained that while the media and fans may fluctuate in their reactions, he remains steadfast in looking at the season as a whole rather than getting caught up in weekly dramas.

 

Van Nistelrooy made it clear that he will not create unnecessary drama over defeats or celebrate excessively over wins. He recognizes that the season will be a long one, with Leicester fighting until the end to prove their worth in the league. The manager is committed to the long-term development of the team, understanding that growth is key to staying competitive in the Premier League.

 

Facing Liverpool, managed by his compatriot Arne Slot, presents a significant challenge for Leicester. Van Nistelrooy acknowledged Slot's success, both in the Premier League and the Champions League, describing Liverpool as the dominant force. He knows what to expect from Slot's style of play, having faced him in the Eredivisie. Van Nistelrooy is preparing his team to be compact and disciplined, recognizing this match as an opportunity for Leicester to develop and improve in various aspects of their game.
