Brendan Rodgers enlightens Leicester City fans on team’s away style
Leicester City’s recently heavily praised manager Brendan Rodgers provides insight into how he masterminded some famous away victories this season.
Will Jurgen Klopp be the latest lauded Premier League boss who controls an impressive bunch to incur the incredibly devastating away form of Leicester City this campaign? Or, will the German master in charge of Liverpool concoct a shrewd enough plan to beat the Foxes, with so many injured personnel?
It’s not like Brendan Rodgers hasn’t had fitness issues to deal with of his own. Overcoming that with strategies and stratagems to defeat Manchester City at Etihad Stadium, Leeds United at Elland Road as well as Arsenal at Emirates Stadium with a lack of starting players is an element of the narrative of Rodgers’ praise form mainstream media in 2020/21.
How Brendan Rodgers transformed Leicester City into such a force on the road
On the road this term, Rodgers’ outfit have managed five away wins in all competitions; mostly in difficult matches or circumstances, as previously mentioned. Rodgers has provided some insight into how he and his team rose to the challenge:
"“In any game away from home, you’ve got to defend well, you’ve got to be strong. You’ve got to be efficient with the ball. That’s been pleasing, that we’re developing different ways to win. At Man City we had 28 per cent possession, but it was all dangerous possession.“If you look at Villa against Liverpool, they have 30 per cent possession. “Be dangerous and be a threat when you have it. You then have to be organised and have a bit of a luck.”Via Leicestershire Live"

If this Rodgers masterclass can be repeated in the north again on Sunday, as Leicester travel to meet the Reds at Anfield, then the Foxes will return to the EPL summit. For now, at least. Following that massively significant contest, they are in Portugal to play SC Braga. Braga were the main threat to the English side’s dominance in Europa League Group G. A victory would confirm Leicester’s qualification for the Knockout part of the tournament.
