Manager Steve Cooper expressed optimism about Leicester City's 1-1 tie against Tottenham Hotspur on Monday, marking a hopeful beginning to their Premier League comeback after a year's absence. However, he emphasized that victories are essential to meet the expectations of the club's supporters. Tottenham controlled the first half and scored first with Pedro Porro in the 29th minute. Leicester, champions in the 2015/16 season, responded with a header from 37-year-old Jamie Vardy in the 57th minute, leveling the score. Last season, Leicester was relegated to the Championship, ending a nine-year tenure in the English top division.
Cooper acknowledged the behind-the-scenes support that aids the team and recognized the nerves and anxiety that come with such situations. He highlighted the team's strong performance in the second half, making them a tough adversary. Although the start was positive, Cooper stressed the need for winning matches. He noted Leicester's history of victories and the necessity to recreate that success. The goal, according to Cooper, is to transform the club back into a Premier League team. Leicester's next fixture is a visit to Fulham on Saturday.
