On facing Newcastle in Prem
Daka said the club needs to face reality, admitting that the Foxes are currently not in a good position.
“It’s not really the position that we are hoping to be in…..But it is what it is,” Daka told the club’s media. “We have to face the reality and look at each game as it comes.”
“We’re not getting ahead of ourselves and focusing on each game to determine where we will be at the end of the season .… Because if we get ahead of ourselves, we’re going to lose ourselves.
“We just have to focus on each game step by step, and, at the end of it, we’ll see where we’re at.”
Daka on Jamie Vardy’s impact
The 26-year-old Zambian international who made his 100th appearance for the Foxes last weekend also expressed admiration for veteran striker Jamie Vardy, who has six Premier League goals this season.
“He takes good care of himself,” the striker said of Vardy. “He knows his body; he knows what he is supposed to do, and he’s such an inspiration. Having him around, he’s been playing at this level for a long time, and he’s still here. There’s a lot we can learn from him. He’s such an amazing guy. Outside of the pitch, he’s a great human being.”
