Full-back Christian Fuchs insists that Leicester City deserved more than their 2-1 defeat to Manchester United in the Community Shield on Sunday.
Premier League champions Leicester were undone by Zlatan Ibrahimovic at Wembley, with the star recruit’s 83rd-minute header deciding the contest at Wembley. naijabet.com
Jamie Vardy had cancelled out Jesse Lingard’s stunning solo effort prior to the Swede’s intervention, and Fuchs believes that his side were unlucky to lose, and he maintains that he and his team-mates are ready to defend their league crown in 2016-17.
“I think it was a good performance and we had our chances, a couple more chances than United,” he said
“We didn’t give away many chances. Unfortunately, they had Ibrahimovic who can score something out of nothing. Well done to them.
“I think a draw would have been fair over 90 minutes. After we conceded the second goal, then we still had a very good chance just before the end of the game. We can live with that because we showed a good performance and we are ready for the Premier League.”
Leicester will kick-off their title defence at newly-promoted Hull City on Saturday, more than three months after stunning the sporting world.
