Ndidi speaks from Austria : Leicester missing out on UCL, Brendan Rodgers,

"People with different opinions. Every player wants to play in the Champions League if they have the opportunity but if you don't have the opportunity you see a Cup you have to grab it.

"We played the final before the Premier League matches, so we actually grabbed that one and we hoped for qualifying for the Champions League.

"It's not like we were just hoping to qualify for the Champions League and just let the FA Cup just go away like that.

"I'm very grateful that we grabbed that one but it wasn't possible for us to go to the Champions League."

Brendan Rodgers is a very good coach, he is tactical. He's a lovable coach, the players love him because he is not just a coach, he's also like a father figure to us players.

"He's very friendly, smiles, his door is always open for players. He has actually improved my game psychologically and on the pitch, understanding the game.

"He made me understand the position better and what he really needs me to do. He just wants me to be Wilfred Ndidi, allow Tielemans be Tielemans, Kelechi be Kelechi.

"I cannot do everything but I just need to do my own. Those things are actually adding to my game and then trying to make me better in so many aspects of the game.

"Everything boils down to the system Rodgers really wants for his players and the team," said Ndidi on Rodgers.

 

On Iheanacho's form, Ndidi said : "We all know Kelechi Iheanacho is a very good player. Right from the U17 he can score goals, he can make assists.

"As a footballer not getting much time playing can actually reduce your confidence but I'm very happy he's back.

"I've always tried to encourage him, he's always giving his best in training  but you could see Jamie Vardy is always there, running round the pitch.

"I just feel if Kelechi had the chance he would have actually done something that time when there was no chance for him to actually showcase but now he's doing everything I expected of him and we all know the kind of player he is and I'm very proud of him and happy to play in the same team with him."

I doubt I’m on my own but love Wilf as I do, I can’t help but feel embarrassed to have rated him for the past couple of seasons ahead of Kante. Tuchel has restored Kante to his proper position and he’s still the best CDM in the world.

I'd be double gutted if he leaves, the missus ain't gonna let me change it.

 

Fortunately he's here for a while yet.

I named my dog Wilf too 😂 the Mrs just thinks it’s cute but she has absolutely no idea!! 
 

Love him, the fact the first thing he did when he joined was enrol on a course a DMU tells you everything about the lad. Just an all round great chap, head screwed on one of the best at what he does. It sounds like he’s a motivator too, reading what Kelch has said, outside about for the next captain.

What I find crazy is how much supporters of other clubs don’t rate him lol my Saturday sides group chat has a mixture of fans and not one of them who isn’t a Leicester fan rates him.

His overall game isn't great.  His passing range and abilities make him not do attractive to top 4 clubs or top euro clubs.

 

Kante is the full package.

Over that period he has been as good though so it's not embarrassing. I had a similar thought earlier.

Kante hasn't been "Kante" the past couple of seasons though.

Tuchel has only just returned him to his best role and the best CDM in the world.

But Kante doesn't play the same role as Wilf? You want a holding midfielder I'd have Wilf over anyone else. Give me a choice of any player in the world on form, and I'd have N'Golo; he's a one off.

 

But definitely not to sit in front of the back four.

Wilf's passing isn't the liability it used to be. In fact, he's now among the team leaders in passing.

 

His shooting, on the other hand, well... :cry:

We went with Muzzy

👍

It’s a good name too. Cags works, I think.

 

Should have a FT dog walking get together. Wilf, Muzzy and Cags. Could have a dog walking league. Start a separate forum chatting about dog training techniques. Could sack off the football altogether eventually.

😄😄It might help us get through the summer. 

I wanted Vardy but the kids didn't want to be shouting that in our local park. 

Had whittled it down to Muzzy, Wes or Kasper, but Muzz got the vote. 

 

Fuchs would be a good one to shout out on a dog walk 😄

How easy is it to train dogs to play football?

Now that we’ve won the FA Cup, we just need Best In Show of Crufts to complete the domestic set.

I'd love to bring Spencer (Prior) along but it'd be waaay too far for me!
