See this content in the original post

A key aspect of Brendan Rogers’s Leicester City is their ability to build up from the back.

To do this they have players who are composed on the football, who understand the press of the opposition and who also make correct decisions when it comes to pass selection.

Key features

  • Mixture of short and long passes

  • Moving opponent to one side in order to switch to other

  • Working ball around in order to go inside and penetrate central

  • Diagonal passes

  • Balls straight and in behind

  • Players understanding when to dribble (break lines) vs pass

  • Intelligent movement of when to go short and when to stretch

Leicester under Rogers are playing some incredible football in 2019/20 season and are a team that are easy on the eye. This is a testament to the outstanding work of Brendan Rogers and his coaching staff and the future certainly looks bright for the Foxes!
