DBasia.news – Leicester City are grieving for the loss of their owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha as one of the victims in a helicopter crash outside King Power Stadium, Saturday (27/10).
On Monday (29/10), Leicester confirmed Vichai as one of the died victims by their official website.
Losing an important person like Vichai in a sudden tragedy gave a big impact for Leicester.
Now, Claude Puel squad must continue the spirit and foundation by Vichai to gain more success in the future.
Yes, Vichai has been trying to build Leicester squad throughout his life by purchasing valuable players with affordable transfer fee.
It worked when Leicester surprisingly became the champion of the 2015/2016 Premier League. Currently, Leicester are losing the key player like Riyad Mahrez who moved to Manchester City during the 2018 summer transfer market. However, the accurate player like Jamie Vardy is still here.
Puel could utilize that to build Leicester strength. Apparently, Leicester are still in the 12th rank of the 2018/2019 Premier League temporary standing with 13 points from 10 matches.
This is not good for the team who were the champion three years ago. This season, Leicester must improve their performance to achieve precious points.
At least, Puel squad must finish in the big six when the season ends so they could perform in the 2019-2010 Europe League. If Leicester could do that this season, it would be the best tribute for Vichai.
