Leicester City boss Enzo Maresca has told his side’s supporters that the Foxes won’t be playing a more direct style of football whilst he’s in charge, sending this message via Leicestershire Live.
The Championship side knew what they were getting when they employed Pep Guardiola’s former assistant, with the Italian always likely to implement a possession-based style of play.
This style has been embraced by some supporters, but others have been less satisfied and discontent was clear when the Foxes went on their winless run.
Coming into yesterday’s game against Norwich City, the pressure was firmly on Maresca’s side to get a win, especially after their Good Friday defeat away at Bristol City.
And they made the worst possible start, with the Canaries scoring from a corner kick routine that had clearly been worked on before.
Thankfully for the hosts though, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall headed in an equaliser at the King Power Stadium, before goals from Stephy Mavididi and Jamie Vardy secured a 3-1 victory.
This was a much-needed result, although they still have a considerable amount of work to do to give themselves the best chance of being promoted automatically at the end of the campaign.
