Wilfred Ndidi: Vital for Leicester and an admirable character
With Wilfred Ndidi in the team Leicester City have a great record, without him it is a lot worse. This isn’t just down to football.
In the four years since joining Leicester City, Wilfred Ndidi’s prowess and character has shone on Filbert Way. Now he is even improving on the pitch; despite certain confused individuals believing he should leave the Foxes.
With the Nigeria international linchpin in the Leicester starting XI, for the four years that he’s been in the East Midlands, the King Power club has an average of 1.48 Premier League points per match. Without Ndidi beginning games, or missing completely, the team only managed one point a game in the same time period.
This fact is truly indicative as to how much of an impact as well as an immeasurable element the centre-midfield man is. Well, in fact in this instance it is startlingly measurable, in terms of league progress.
Character at Leicester City
As Quentin Tarantino wrote for Harvey Keitel for Pulp Fiction: “of course because you are a character, doesn’t mean you have character. This doesn’t apply to Ndidi, who embodies both aspects: he is a person devoted to his faith, serving as his life guidance.
And, refreshingly, the 23-year-old is a footballer who doesn’t sit around grooming his ‘onstage’ Instagram appearance, gambling or playing nonstop FIFA 20. He is at De Montfort University simultaneously, learning business and tourism management, at an obviously advantage level.
Apparently he enjoys it and openly admits to wanting to better himself. How admirable that a young gentleman in his position is willing to do so. What an undoubtedly fine role model for observing, impressionable children, along with teenagers. And some adults!
If Leicester City are to realise their ambitions of getting back into the Champions League and possibly winning domestic trophies, then the balance, honour, focus and integrity of an Ndidi is compulsory. If Kasper Schmeichel wasn’t captain, Ndidi would be Foxes of Leicester’s nominee.
Additionally, the tackling and interceptions expert also spoke of his boss Brendan Rodgers in a complimentary fashion recently. Ndidi’s knows he’s improved in regards to style, confidence and output under the Northern Irishman, per Leicester Mercury. Another attribute that sets him apart is the eagerness to learn and develop or refine his skill set.
