Norwich boss Alex Neil has warned his players to be wary of a Leicester backlash when the teams clash on Saturday. http://www.ravensrookiestore.com/Hoodie/ . The Premier League pacesetters had their lead at the top of the table cut to just two points when they lost 2-1 at Arsenal two weeks ago.Neil reckons Leicester will be banking on three points as Norwich battle for survival, and he expects his players to raise their game. I think they will be hurting after Arsenal and they will be targeting games like these to keep their title run going, Neil said.The one thing about Leicester is they are good at what they do. They are an efficient team and they have a few individuals who have had a fantastic season for them.We need to make sure we battle against that and show ourselves in the game. Danny Welbeck scored a late winner in Leicesters last match Both teams have got a real requirement for the three points for very different reasons so it should make for a good game.With the season Leicester have had I dont see them being down. I think they have done incredibly well, it has been unbelievable.They have struck upon a way they are comfortable playing and they have had players who have made differences in crucial games.There have been teams in the league that have got points off them. We have been watching a lot of footage of teams who have played against them this season to see how they went about it.We have a plan so we will see how it goes. Leicester recorded a 2-1 win over Norwich in October Norwich are one place above the relegation zone - ahead of Newcastle on goal difference - and Neil knows that the remaining games are going to be difficult, but he is pleased at how the players are reacting to the challenge.Neil said: The one thing we have had is that everyone is together, everyone is fighting for the same cause which when you are having a difficult season is really pleasing and a source of strength in the remaining games.The games vary that much, to try and get yourself ready for games is a test.We have a lot of work to do before the end and if we can stay up, whether it is by a point or a goal, then I think that will be seen as a successful season by us.Over these next 12 games we have to try and attack it and hope that it is going to be enough.

Soukalova missed only one target and completed the 15-kilometre course in 40 minutes, 32.6 seconds for both victories in this seasons individual discipline. Darya Domracheva of Belarus was second, 34. http://www.ravensrookiestore.com/Ravens-Crockett-Gillmore-Jersey/ . LOUIS -- Theres no telling how these wacky World Series games will end. http://www.ravensrookiestore.com/Ravens-Jeremy-Maclin-Jersey/ . Despite dominating possession, Schalke needed an own goal from Nicolas Hoefler for the breakthrough a minute before the interval. The Freiburg midfielder misjudged Jefferson Farfans corner and bundled the ball into his own net. Former teammates and rivals -- including three of his India captains -- on the life and skills of Mohammad Shahid.Zafar Iqbal, former India captain:??All of us from one generation are very sad today. We have lost one of our teammates, one of the best players to have ever played for India, one of the most talented and generous. But even more than that, I will always think of him as my partner -- Shahid and I played together for seven years.We had a very strong bond, though he was four years younger than me, joined the team after I did and was a shy and a simple guy. We played up front together and whenever we would meet again, we would talk about the old days -- the good and the bad. And have a laugh.He was a terrific player, and throughout his stint with the national team, at the Olympics and I always thought he was such an extraordinary dribbler and the reason he didnt score many goals himself was because he was just too fast. He would do all the work for us up front, and be the creator, make the defence go one way, and then pass the ball the other onwards to his teammate who would score. For instance, at the 1980 Olympics, our top scorer was Surinder Singh Sodhi, but I would say that almost every goal of his was created by Shahid.When I think about it now, if Shahid hadnt played as well as he did in 1980, we would have been in great trouble. Against Spain and Poland [both pool matches were drawn 2-2, while India beat Spain 4-3 in the final] and Soviet Union [which India won 4-2], he thrived in the opponents defence, he was simply brilliant. They just couldnt understand what he was doing. His turning was extraordinary. Entire defences would be wrong-footed. He was a genius.I had a chance to meet him once when he was in hospital and remember him asking me, Zafarbhai, aapka golf kaisa chal raha hai (How is your golf going on)? I told him not to get anxious about the hospital and the ICU and he replied, Nahin, zaroor theek ho jaayenge (Dont worry, I will recover). Even then his condition was quite critical. Last night, I rushed back from Aligarh to see the family. We knew that it was all over. Goodbye, partner, rest in peace.MM Somaya, former India captain: This has come as an absolute shock to all of us. We played together for about 10 years and he was my teammate in three Olympics [1980, 1984 and 1988]. I went to see him about two-three weeks back, and I had mentally prepared myself for this day. But it is still too shocking for all of us.During my time, he was the best and most gifted of hockkey players. http://www.ravensrookiestore.com/Ravens-Brent-Urban-Jersey/. He was a crowd-puller, and he was a great attraction for the crowd. More than that, he was an excellent person too. He was serious on the field, but away from it, he was always in a light-hearted mood. He always kept us regaled with his jokes.V Baskaran, former India captain: Today I lost a great friend. He was my room partner during the four-nation event in Kuala Lumpur in 1979. He was just 19 years old, but such a skilful player. He was taking on the great defenders of the world -- Munawwar uz Zaman, Akhtar Rasool. I dont think anybody in current hockey can compare to him.Shahid didnt like to mark. He would just say to me, Mera ball de dena, jo kuch karna hoga, main kar loonga (Just give me the ball, and leave the rest to me). He also played very well in the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles, where his duel with Australian captain Ric Charlesworth was brilliant. Charlesworth was the inside right, and he kept trying to bottle up Shahid. But he never felt any pressure. In fact, it was always his opponents who felt the pressure.He was a great team-man and a great soul.MK Kaushik, former teammate and former Indian womens team coach: Weve lost a great player to say the least. The way he used to dribble past defenders, taking them on the wrong foot, was completely incredible. He was talented, hard-working and confident on the field. He had a great sense of humour and more importantly was a great human being. For me the loss is even more profound since we shared a very close friendship. He was the No. 1 player of his time and his contribution to Indias performance at the 1980 Olympics is unforgettable.Ric Charlesworth, former Australia captain: Im deeply sad to hear about Shahids demise. He was one of the most wonderful, skillful and mesmerizing players Ive ever played against. He certainly did give me a tough time. In the early 1980s when Indian hockey was at its strongest for the last time, he was the central plank of it. For India, Ajitpal [Singh] was a marvellous organizer and creator in the middle of the field, then there was Zafar Iqbal who had dangerous penetration. Shahids ability to deceive and create something out of nothing was amazing. Also impressive was his ball control. With him around we never knew what to expect. You would think he was going one way but he would change course before you knew it.(As told to Debayan Sen and Susan Ninan) Cheap Jerseys WholesaleCheap Jerseys Free ShippingWholesale Authentic JerseysCheap NFL JerseysChina Jerseys WholesaleWholesale Jerseys Free ShippingCheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
