Claudio Ranieri: "We’re very concentrated. We know this season, it will be harder than the last, but our strength is the same. We have a good spirit and we work very well on the training ground. When you work so well during the week and you try to win the match then after you lose. You imagine, some athletes in the Olympic Games have four years to prepare and they lose, this is our life. We have to do everything right and accept what is our destiny.”
