Ricardo Pereira

Recommended Posts

Our full-backs were always going to be defensively perilous against attacking players of Man City's calibre. A few mistakes but regardless of his goal he had a pretty good game.

 

He's come on leaps and bounds in the past few months, if he can keep improving his defendingf we might end up with the league's best full-back pairing!

My word what a player he is and what superb performances he has provided for us recently. For the team, as well.

 

As good as he is going forward, the defensive aspect has remarkably improved. Sane got by him a couple of times today but Pereira fought back with well-timed tackles and just good tracking him. Yes, Sane got ahead of him and managed to get a couple of crosses for Man City but it's not like Pereira made it easy for him. Having Albrighton ahead of him is a huge benefit, because he knows he's got an absolute workhorse to help him out if need be. But Pereira would return the favour when we go to attack teams and he joins in.

The goal was just the icing on the cake, really. Such a clean and sweet hit, one of those you kind of know it's going to hit the back of the net or be close to doing so when he struck it. Ironically it was Sane who headed it straight to him lol 

 

I can't wait to see him play more if it's going to be like this. He compliments the balance of the side so much with Chilwell performing a similar role on the left flank. If they both go up, they know they have the protection of Mendy to drop back and help the defence. 

 

It always takes players a different amount of time to get settled and properly integrated in to a new side, let alone that being in a new country. Pereira's done very well to get it done so quickly as we as fans of Leicester fully well know how foreign signings can take longer to settle in, or not do it at all. 

 

On top of it all, he seems like a genuinely nice bloke as well. Great player to have and a credit to the club with the way he's played recently.
