Leicester news: Claude Puel reveals pride for 'emotional' players after Cardiff win Foxes boss Puel was rightly proud of his squad and staff after beating Cardiff 1-0 on Saturday.
The visitors fulfilled the fixture despite the heartache of Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha's horrific helicopter crash a week earlier. The disaster, which claimed the lives of all five passengers, has devastated the club.
But boss Puel said: "I am proud of the success in this first game. My players and staff grow as people to manage these emotions. "It is important to continue his dream.
We have to keep the balance between the emotion and the self control." Leicester's squad flew to Thailand after the game to attend their late owner's funeral, which lasts several days in keeping with Buddhist traditions.
They are then due back in the next 48 hours and are expected to return to training in Leicester on Thursday ahead of Burnley's visit on Saturday. It is sure to be another emotional occasion with a sell-out crowd set to honour Srivaddhanaprabha. Srivaddhanaprabha's son Top, who is stepping up to run the club, is also due back for the fixture from mourning at his father's funeral in Thailand.
Puel added: "We have to manage the next game but for the moment we have to pay tribute with the funeral in Bangkok. "Then it will be difficult to prepare for the next game but this is the first step. "It will be the first game at home in front of our fans and if we want to honour our chairman we have to control our emotions.".
