Former Leicester City captain Matt Elliott has praised the leadership of manager Brendan Rodgers throughout the 2019/20 season to date.
– Brendan Rodgers has provided Leicester City with ‘real confidence’ in their ability, says Matt Elliott
– The former Foxes captain says the Northern Irishman’s methods in training are paying dividends
– Rodgers’ past experiences continue to strengthen City’s chances of success, Elliott believes
The Foxes have enjoyed several landmark victories, twice breaking the Club’s record for their biggest-ever Premier League victory, while also embarking on an eight-game winning run.
In 48 matches since Rodgers’ appointment in February 2019, the Northern Irishman has overseen 26 victories, giving him a 54 per cent win ratio at King Power Stadium.
For Elliott, who after an eight-year career at the Club now closely follows the current side’s progress for LCFC TV and LCFC Radio, Rodgers’ management is key to their success.
“Players have come through and established themselves as fully-fledged first team players in the Premier League and the manager has shown his credentials,” Elliott said earlier this week.
“He’s reinforced what people knew about him. He’s led from the front and that’s given real confidence to the players because they’ve got a real direction to their methods.
“They’ve reacted superbly to that. The experience and confidence which Rodgers exudes has rubbed off on the players, you can see that.
“They recognise what he’s achieved in the game, they trust his work, whether that be on the training pitch or the actual field of play itself, they have faith in his knowledge.
“That’s a big thing for players. If you buy into what your manager’s telling you, as an individual and as a collective, it makes a real impact.”
