Premier League: 'Think about the next game' says Leonardo Ulloa after Southampton defeat

Leonardo Ulloa was putting on a brave face after Leicester City suffered another Premier League defeat on Saturday.

Shane Long netted twice during the final 15 minutes at St Mary’s as Southampton made it home 2-0.

The Foxes, following a bright start to the campaign, have now slipped into the relegation zone and the striker said: “It’s a difficult situation now. We know these games are difficult but now we need to think about this international break.

“And after that think about our next game because for moments we played well but the other team had more chances and scored. We need to think positively heading into the next game.

“There are positives from this game because we played well in the first half with the ball and when defending.

“The second half started well but they had the ball and created chances so we need to forget about this game and think about the next.”

Think about our next game because for moments we played well

As for reasons regarding Leicester’s poor recent form, he added: “No, I don’t know why we changed. I think it’s our mentality and different situations.

“We need to remember the first games against Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Everton. We need to remember this.

“We need the same intensity, the same chase and the same play with the ball. We need this again and we are not doing this at the moment and we need to do this now.”
