When asked to compare Rodgers’ style of management to others, the 23-year-old responded: “When I first came to Leicester, it was business. That is still there but you need to enjoy and feel it also.
“My training style and that of so many players have improved. He made us understand that whatever we did during training is what we’ll do during games – there is no magic. You can’t be lazy in training and expect to be a superman during games.
“It all begins from the first whistle during warm-ups. During our training, you just have to be there. It’s not an academy where everybody will come and pamper you.
“One thing he has done also is encouraging the whole team and letting us know that there is no one who is irreplaceable. That is just his philosophy.”
Before football in England went on a hiatus owing to the Covid-19 outbreak, Leicester sit in third place in the Premier League log having accrued 53 points from 29 games – five points above fourth-placed Chelsea.
Should the league resume in June as proposed, and the club finishes in the top four, they will be featuring in the Champions League next season.
