Back when he was playing for Napoli in the Serie A, Swiss midfielder Gokhan Inler had a secure spot in the starting eleven but he was looking for new adventures and a chance to fight for trophies. Last summer when his agent started looking for a new club for him, the different prospects that appeared on the horizon were many, but looking at all the different projects, he ended up deciding on Claudio Ranieri's Leicester City. A team that today is fighting for the Premier League but has Inler on the bench.
When the season began he fell injured but after recovery he expected to be noticed by Senpai (Ranieri) but since the team was doing so well, despite his arrival being considered as a top priority for the Italian manager. After so many months waiting to get his chance, Inler has finally exploded and lashed out against the manager because in order to get his call-up for the upcoming European Championship with Switzerland he needs to play, and up until now that hasn't been possible.
“I had several enquiries in January, but didn’t leave as the manager said that he was counting on me. But there have been no more games for me since then. It makes me sick, and the stupid thing for me is that I have the Euro 2016 finals with Switzerland this summer.”
“I am in a critical situation. I usually speak diplomatically, but I have to face up to why things are the way they are. There is no point in me trying to sugar-coat the situation. I said no to West Ham, sunderland and Schalke to join Leicester, and I would do the same again. I won’t run away and give up on the club’s project. I wanted a challenge and I have got one for sure.”
“I got first team chances last year against Aston Villa and Stoke, but everything was new for me back then and I didn’t use them. [Danny] Drinkwater and [N’Golo] Kante have done very well for us. We’ll need everybody next season - Jamie Vardy, Riyad Mahrez and myself. I am trying everything to get back into the first team and I will succeed.”
