Leicester goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer believes the club face some tough challenges ahead if they are to keep hold of manager Claudio Ranieri and their top players. The Foxes 1-0 win at Crystal Palace on Saturday keeps them five points clear of title rivals Tottenham at the top of the table with seven matches of their season to go.But Schwarzer, who was on the bench at Selhurst Park, feels they may face an even more difficult test in keeping hold of the popular Ranieri and the leading lights at the club next season. Players really like him and really admire him for his passion, dedication and wisdom, Schwarzer said of the Italian on Sky Sports Now. Leicester keeper Mark Schwarzer highlights their defence as the key to their form It is vitally important [for Leicester to keep Ranieri]. He has taken them to a completely different level.There are certain factors Leicester are going to have to deal with at the end of the season.Firstly, the manager, whether he stays or goes. He is at the stage of his career where he may never move on to bigger or better things.He has been mentioned for the Italian job and if that were offered to him, that would be a difficult one to turn down because it is such a prestigious job.He will be key to keeping hold of players such as Jamie Vardy, who has recently signed a new contract, Riyad Mahrez, NGolo Kante, Danny Drinkwater. Phil Thompson on Leicesters win at Palace There will be clubs really starting to take notice of these players and putting them on a list of players they might want to try and sign this summer.Leicester will have to do all they can to hold onto these players and try to build further.Schwarzer feels Ranieri has given fresh hope to players who may not have been given the opportunity to shine in the past.In particular he cited the example of Drinkwater, who was not a regular in the side last season, but who has featured regularly this campaign, earning a call-up to the England squad for the upcoming friendlies against Germany and the Netherlands.He has given certain key players confidence and self-belief, added Schwarzer.At the end of last season, Danny hardly played a game, he was on the sidelines, but he has rightly been called up to England because he has been such a key player. He has been mentioned for the Italian job and if that were offered to him, that would be a difficult one to turn down. Schwarzer on Claudio Ranieri Danny is a calming influence on the pitch and has great vision and awareness. Technically he is very good and his array of passing is exceptional but he can mix it with his challenges.Schwarzer also commented on the change of emphasis in recent weeks, that has seen a free-scoring Leicester side win four of their last five matches 1-0.Initially we were playing a lot more open football, we attacked whenever we had the opportunity, said the Australian.That was one of our strengths, the ability to counter-attack very quickly, and that is still one of our weapons.But once we hit that first clean sheet of the season, it cemented the idea that keeping clean sheets is important and is a good foundation to build upon.

CLEMSON, S.C. -- The next challenge for No. 3 Clemson? Moving past its dramatic win over Louisville.The Tigers (5-0, 2-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) have the bulk of the season remaining, even with perhaps their biggest game behind them after topping the seventh-ranked Cardinals 42-36 on Saturday night. Next up on Friday night is struggling Boston College (3-2, 0-2), which hasnt won a league game since 2014.The only guarantee quarterback Deshaun Watson will make is that words like mismatch or blowout wont cross the lips of any Tiger this week.We always celebrate after the win and then we move on, Watson said Monday. Because each game is a season of its own. We understand we have to put in the work throughout the week to get the W.Clemson needed some extra oomph Saturday as Louisville wiped out a 28-10 halftime lead with 26 straight points in the second half to move in front. Watson answered with two fourth-quarter TDs to regain the lead, and Clemsons defense stopped the Cardinals on fourth down a yard shy on the Tigers 3 with 33 seconds remaining to run off as winners.Co-offensive coordinator Tony Elliott said the team has done a good job early on in keeping the big win in perspective and turning its focus to the Eagles, who have lost their past 10 ACC games and five in a row to Clemson.It was a quick turnaround and we were right back on the practice field, Elliott said. I really like their demeanor. It looked like the guys had flushed it and were focused on getting back to work.And theres work for Clemson to do on both sides of the ball.Watson was named ACC offensive back of the week for his five touchdowns, 306 yards passing and 91 yards rushing. But he also threw three interceptions and coughed up the ball on a fumble.Clemsons defense collected five sacks and 10 tackles for loss against Louisvilles vibrant offense, which came in leading the Football Bowl Subdivision in yarrds gained and points scored.dddddddddddd. The Tigers, though, allowed 568 yards to the Cardinals and 457 yards to quarterback Lamar Jackson (295 passing, 162 rushing).Jackson ended with three touchdowns and did what he could to quiet the 83,362 screaming fans in Death Valley.Center Jay Guillermo was named ACC offensive lineman of the week as the Tigers ran for 201 yards. Linebacker Ben Boulware had 18 tackles, including three behind the line of scrimmage, and was chosen the leagues linebacker of the week.Boston Colleges last ACC win came over Syracuse to close the 2014 league play. Eagles coach Steve Addazio said his team has to pick up its mental acuity if it hopes to hang with Clemson.We have got to squeeze out the obvious mental errors that are disrupting us right now because we wont get away with it against a team like Clemson, he said. Thats an understatement.Elliott said coaches wont harp too much on Clemsons errors but instead will hammer home that its the little things that will make a difference, as they did a year ago.Elliott said Watson threw inside on one pick at the goal line that looked ripe for a Clemson touchdown, then lost his fumble when he was fighting to get more yards -- both uncharacteristic mistakes from the 6-foot-3 junior.Its just a thing here or there that weve got to clean up, Elliott said. Were not going to panic, but were definitely going to stress keeping the ball safe.Watson thinks the Tigers will draw on their experience last year where they used a tight, 24-22 home game over highly ranked Notre Dame as a springboard for an undefeated regular season.Even more than that, Watson said the players understand there are bigger goals to chase.Its a start, Watson said of the Louisville win. Weve still yet to play our best. ' ' '
