Leicester City’s Morgan will ‘give his best’ for Jamaica

Leicester City captain and Jamaica central defender, Wes Morgan, said he will be doing his best to replicate the successes he has been having at his English Premier League (EPL) team with the Reggae Boyz in their World Cup Qualifiers (WCQ).

"International football is completely different. You meet up today and play a game a few days later. But with your club you play together week in week out and in terms of structure they are very organised. But it's (WCQ) a challenge ahead of us and we have to do our best to win the games," he told The Gleaner.

"I always give my best and my all for the Jamaican team. I always want to make sure we qualify for the World Cup. But it's going to take a group effort, it's going to take everyone pulling together to try and win the games. If we do that there is no doubt we will come out with the victory and with the points.

"We are going to try our best, that is all we can do. We know it will not be easy because Costa Rica is a very tough team, we have always had tough games against them, and they will want to do their best as well," he continued.

He believes that with the support of the 12th man (fans) victory, is much more attainable.

"With the Jamaican people behind us and we (players) on top of our game and playing our best, we can come out with the win. We are in this together, we are all pulling in the same direction, which is to get to Russia World Cup, and it's a long way to go. There will be ups and downs, but hopefully, there will be more ups and we can see through qualification," he said.

WINNING WAYS

Meanwhile, the confident Leicester City defender believes things are shaping up nicely for his club to capture their first English Premier League (EPL) championship title and he has no doubt they can continue their winning ways.

"We have always had that confidence and that belief, but sometimes you just need to get the breaks and I think this season everything has come together nicely. Some individuals are playing on top of their game and playing the best they have ever played, so it's a combination of everything and the boys are full of confidence and just want to continue the good run," he stated.
