Brendan Rodgers' limits
Rodgers' current situation is not at all happy as the "Foxes" are ranked 13th with only 8 points after 7 rounds. This season, the King Power team is expected to create a turning point in the Top 4. However, with this situation, the dream of winning a ticket to the European Cup is still far away.
In the last 2 seasons, Leicester have missed out on a ticket to the Champions League in round 38. The 2020-21 season was a loss to Tottenham (Ch Chelsea ranked 4th, 1 point more). A year before, in the last match against direct competitor M.U, Vardy and his teammates easily lost 0-2 and ranked 5th overall.
In the context of teams in the new Big 4 group constantly increasing their strength, Leicester, with little or much difficulty, joined the " arms race". The Thai owners cannot spend hundreds of millions of pounds in a transfer period like their opponents in the above group. Therefore, Leicester are falling behind every time. Having failed to get a ticket to the Champions League twice in a row, everything was at the threshold.
Last season, Rodgers helped Leicester win the FA Cup for the first time in the club's history, thereby completing the domestic title collection for the King Power team. For pure English sides, the FA Cup is very valuable and is a worthy reward for the Foxes' efforts over the years, since their miraculous Premier League win five years ago.
Is Rodgers' mission here over? At the same time, rumors in St. Petersburg James Park kept flying, causing this strategist to lose focus to some extent. Going or staying, perhaps the opening match of the tourmalet with M.U will decide many things for Rodgers.
Ole Solsa's stormy journey
Things seemed to fall apart for Ole when he heard that Varane was injured when he returned to France to play in the Nations League. Thus, the "Red Devils" defense, which was very inadequate, lost the number 1 central defender duo. I don't understand how Ole will manage the upcoming matches that are very important.
Let's talk about the future, tonight's away match at King Power could decide the Norwegian strategist's seat at Old Trafford. 3 years, 4 semi-final losses, 1 final loss and an un dinhfied playing style, the pressure on Solskjaer has reached its limit. M.U fans and the board always trust and love him. However, no matter what, we cannot let the affection intermingle with achievements.
Against a team that plays a good counter-attacking defense like Leicester, Man United's defense was once again questioned. And above, if they continue to be at a standstill like that, what will Ronaldo and the satellites around them do to be able to save their coach? Remember, in the next 6 matches, Leicester is considered the team that is closest to the "Red Devils". If there were no good results, perhaps the breakup date was approaching.
The match between Leicester City and Manchester United will take place at 9:00 p.m. on October 16 (Vietnam time), live on K+.
