Claudio Ranieri took his Leicester players out to make their own pizza after Crystal Palace win

CLAUDIO RANIERI turned the tables on his Leicester players after promising a meal out - by getting them to make their own pizzas

 

Ranieri delivered on a pre-match promise to fork out on food if City kept a clean sheet, which they duly did against Crystal Palace last weekend.

But instead of simply dining at a plush restaurant, Ranieri took his players to Leicester eatery Peter Pizzeria where they had to knead their own dough.

"It was a special occasion, it's good to stay together for something good about football," he explained.

"How did the players react? Oh you know, 'I don't want to come. We don't like pizza!'

 

"This could help to make a very good spirit for each other, I hope they enjoyed it."

Ranieri joked his players are playing with a cheesy grin and the fans are the "tomatoes" with City currently fifth in the Premier League.

"The fans are like the tomato - without tomato there is no pizza," he said.

"As for the topping, I don't know yet! I want to achieve 40 points. Then when we do that, I have an open mind."
