Pereira – We Need To Be Mature

Right-back Ricardo Pereira insists Leicester City need to show more maturity if they are to secure European football.

The former Porto star has been one of the club’s best players this season but the Foxes continue to struggle for consistency.

Claude Puel remains under pressure and Leicester have now dropped down to 12th in the Premier League table after a poor run of results.

The East Midlanders have not won any of their past five league games but will fancy their chances of getting back to winning ways in the coming weeks.

Puel’s side take on Crystal Palace, Brighton, Watford, Fulham and Burnley in their next five matches and Pereira has urged them to show more maturity.

He told the club’s official website: “We’ve had good games and we’ve had bad games. We had good games that we lost, and we had some bad games that we won.

It’s a long season and we need to be more regular, more consistent. “It will make the difference in some games. If we can’t win, we can’t lose, like against Wolves for example.

We have to be more mature. With the games, we will start learning that and improving that.”
