What Rodgers said to Leicester squad in dressing room after defeats

What Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers said to his Foxes squad in the dressing room following some disappointing defeats.

Leicester must recharge and reaffirm their togetherness and collective focus before another round of challenging matches. It certainly is not going to be a simple return to domestic football.

Following the international hiatus, the Foxes face yet more tough games: Manchester United, Spartak Moscow, Brentford, Brighton & Hove Albion and then Arsenal.

While Brighton and Brentford may sound like winnable games, which they are, the Seagulls are a new side these days under Graeme Potter’s tutelage. Meanwhile, Brentford are the most impressive new outfit in the Premier League. We all know the threat Man United as well as talisman Cristiano Ronaldo – who is bound to start the contest – pose.

Going to Russia to play a Sunday League team in Moscow would be challenging, though playing Spartak will be a thorough test. Arsenal are of course slightly rejuvenated these days, that won’t be an simple meeting to be victorious in.

However, some LCFC supporters are still looking backwards as the most recent results have been bitterly disappointing and could derail the club’s campaign before it even gets particularly going at an early stage.

Players such as Timothy Castagne and Harvey Barnes have taken to social media to ease fans’ worries in posts. Along with conducting candid interviews explaining the shortcomings and suggesting ways to resurrect the side’s performances and results.

Although, it is manager Rodgers who must instill the correct mentality by utilising man management, not to mention employing a less erratic and stubborn tactical approach.

The boss reveled what he said to his squad following a few losses, culminating in Poland versus Legia Warsaw:

"Q: What have you said to the players in the dressing room?BR: “The group is still wide open. There’s only two games gone. But, rather than easing our way into the game, we need to start with aggression. When we’re aggressive and active in the game, we’re a much better team, and we showed that in the second half.”Via Leicester Mercury"
