Jordan James Dismisses Leicester City Dropping to League One
Leicester City’s challenges this season have been compounded by a potential points deduction due to alleged breaches of spending rules. Despite the uncertainty surrounding these off-field issues, player Jordan James remains focused on the team’s performance rather than the impending penalty.
Jordan James’ Perspective on Leicester City’s Situation
In a recent interview with BBC East Midlands Today, James emphasized the importance of concentrating on current points rather than potential deductions. “We don’t really think about the points deduction,” he stated. “We are focused on where we are now, how many points we have, and how many we need.” He added that any consequences from the legal battles will be dealt with when they arise.
Performance Amidst Pressure
This season, Leicester has struggled since returning to the Championship. However, Jordan James, a summer loan signing, has proven to be a vital asset. His impressive 83rd-minute goal against Sheffield United provided a glimmer of hope during a match that ultimately ended in a 3-2 loss.
Acknowledging Team Struggles
Following the defeat, which intensified pressure on manager Marti Cifuentes, James defended the team’s unity and commitment. “We are focused on getting three points for us as a team and for him, because he deserves it,” he remarked. The team acknowledged their poor first half, where they trailed 3-0 at halftime.
- James pointed out: “At half-time, we said, ‘this is not who we are’.”
- He noted the difference in their second-half performance, stating that they showed more fight.
- James expressed understanding of the fan frustration and emphasized the team’s efforts to change that narrative.
As Leicester City navigates a challenging season, the focus remains on improvement and overcoming difficulties together as a team. James is optimistic about their potential to turn things around.
