Leicester City manager, Brendan Rodgers has come out to hail the partnership between Kelechi Iheanacho and Jamie Vardy. Rodgers recently revealed that he loves how both players have remained a threat to opponents this season.
According to him, little mistakes used to affect Kelechi’s confidence in the past, but not anymore, because he is a more confident footballer now.
He added that the Nigerian now let his errors go while focusing on improving his game outside the box and inside it.
His words, “He’ll play better in the game. His touch got away from him too many times. Maybe before that would have happened, it would have affected his confidence, but now, he’s at a level where he allows to let those mistakes go.”
“Now, he can just get on his game, and what he’s shown is that outside the box and inside the box, he’s there to score goals. Him and Jamie [Vardy], the combination, was a real, real threat. They were both exceptional for us.”
On the FA Cup win, “I felt that we’d have to defend well in order to get through because they throw everything at the game, Southampton. They put a lot of risk into the game.”
“There’s lots of bodies forward, but we didn’t concede a shot on target, so that shows that the team defended well.”
“I felt then, in the second half, once we started moving the ball a little bit quicker, the space opened up and then we obviously got the opportunity to score.”
“Once the first goal went in, then our confidence increased even more and I felt we could have added to our lead.”
