ENGLAND- Koeman: It is a Two-Horse Race
 |
Koeman has his eyes on the prize despite mind games of Chelsea and Manchester City being firm favourites of the EPL crown |
Ronald Koeman believes his Southampton side has the beating of
Chelsea and Manchester City - but only over 90 minutes and not the course of a
season. The Dutchman has led Saints to second place in the Barclays
Premier League after replacing Mauricio Pochettino over the
summer, with a number of his recruits already starting to make names for
themselves in the division.
Graziano Pelle was
brought in from Koeman's
former club Feyernoord and, as well as scoring on his Italy debut, he has
notched six league goals and picked up the player of the month award for
September.
Dusan Tadic has arguably
had an even better start, with the Serbia winger up for the October award
having starred in the 8-0 demolition of Sunderland.
Leicester are the
visitors to the south coast on Saturday before a tough run of fixtures that
will see Koeman's side face Man City, Arsenal and Manchester United in the space of eight
days. "I think it is a two-team race because I still believe that
City and Chelsea are stronger over the whole season," he said.
