Claudio Ranieri has challenged his side to replicate their UEFA Champions League success in the Premier League.
The Foxes have swept aside their European counterparts to seal a place in the last 16, but they’ve failed to reach the same heights domestically and currently sit 14th in the top flight.
Last time out Islam Slimani struck in added time to rescue a point against Middlesbrough at the King Power Stadium, with the champions’ last league win coming in October.
And speaking to the club’s official website, the Italian urged his side to build on their European success and climb the table.
“I am confident, but we must work so hard with a strong mentality,” said Ranieri. “We have to live in two ways – the Champions League and the Premier League.
“In the Champions League we are so happy, but in the Premier League we aren’t happy. It’s important now to be focused on the Premier League.”
He continued: “Of course, something has happened. The players are human – they are not machines – so it’s normal that they remember that everybody last season played well.
“Everything we did was good, but not this year. Now, we have to reconnect our brains. They must play with pressure. They must be focused and play with the same character.
“If you are under pressure, you are very smart, attentive and careful about every breath, but if you are relaxed, it’s not possible.”
