Okazaki believes in the Leicester miracle

Some of the Leicester City players are still not sold on the idea that they are currently the Premier League top dogs. Some even ask everyday for someone to pinch them just to check if they are not in some wet dream that feels too real, but this is not a dream. According to Japanese midfielder Shinji Okazaki, Leicester City's impressive season is more a miracle than anything else. 

Talking to Omnisport, Okazaki said: "I think it's a miracle. To be honest, at the beginning of the season, I didn't expect Vardy would do so well and the same about Riyad. I didn't expect that the defenders could do this well and get so many clean sheets either. So, if we win the league, it will be a miracle but it is inevitable for us. There is no doubt because I've been with these players all season, seeing them closely.

"We have been getting more confident as we get more wins. And it's also good for us not to change. The critical point of this team is that every player can execute what they are supposed to do. We've been where we are because the team has continued doing clearly what we have got to do. And we haven't changed throughout the season."

About the fight for relegation, Okazaki believes fighting for the title is easier than fighting for not being relegated: "I wasn't there though, for me, the team seems like everyone hasn't forgot that we were in the relegation battle last season and we managed to stay up. I can see them thinking the pressure on the title race is less than relegation battle - the team that everyone thought were going down but made a miracle to stay up. I believe last season's experience is our strength."
