Brendan Rodgers reveals how Leicester are now keeping clean sheets

Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers has revealed how the Foxes are now keeping clean sheets after a disastrous period of inept defending.

Rodgers has much ‘good in the bank’ at Leicester. That goes for the majority of fans and, certainly, the LCFC hierarchy. And the Northern Irishman should be thankful for that tentative security. Other Premier League bosses would have been sacked for unsatisfactory overall performance if they were in the same position.

Yet the two years of relative success at King Power Stadium, along with a renewed appearing confidence clearly reinforces Rodgers’ security. In addition to a turnaround in fortunes of late. He is obviously still the foremost candidate anyone can think of who suits LCFC’s vision of development and evolution.

Five clean sheets in one campaign in the top-flight after 28 matches is unacceptable for a club with the Foxes’ designs on a rosy, top six (approximately) future. Kasper Schmeichel was the goalkeeper in every one of those EPL fixtures, and you could see his delight when not conceding for the initial time in 2022 versus Burnley.

Subsequently another nil scoreline for the opposition arose when the East Midlanders defeated Leeds United 1-0 recently. Two division clean sheets in a row – wow! But what is the reason for this reversal of quality and competence? Allow Rodgers to explain:

"“It’s work rate, it’s all about the collective, at the top end of the pitch we weren’t pressing the game.“We’re getting inside to win tackles and press the game and that has helped us. When the ball gets into the box the back four and defenders are defending well.”Leicester Mercury"

Is Celtic legend Scott Brown really coming to Leicester City?

Last week numerous media outlets reported that Brown had been offered a coaching role at Leicester by his former gaffer, Rodgers. This comes following the former’s departure as player/coach with Aberdeen.

Hoops chief Ange Postecoglou also said the door at Celtic Park is open to the ex-Scotland captain. Brown’s arrival on Filbert Way is still just an option at present. The 36-year-old says he will take some time to arrive at a decision, as per Daily Record.
