Mentality of 2016 首相 League 肩書を与える 勝利者s is keeping Leicester in the 追跡(する) for silverware this season after FA Cup victory over Brentford

  • Christian Fuchs, Wes Morgan and Marc Albrighton are still 運動ing Leicester on
  • They are no longer first choice like in 2016 but they were 重要な against Brentford?
  • The Foxes qualified for the FA Cup fifth 一連の会議、交渉/完成する after Kelechi Iheanacho's goal?

The most important members of Leicester's squad have started only 25 matches between them this season.

肩書を与える-winning 退役軍人s Christian Fuchs, Wes Morgan and Marc Albrighton are on the fringes four years after their part in the one of the greatest footballing stories ever told but they are still 運動ing their team に向かって another memorable (選挙などの)運動をする.

Two of them ― Fuchs, 33, and Morgan, 36 ― are out of 契約 at the end of the season.


If everyone is fit, all three players will probably return to the (法廷の)裁判 at Aston 郊外住宅 in the Carabao Cup 半分-final second 脚 on Tuesday as the Foxes try to reach their first major Wembley final for 20 years. The first 脚 ended 1-1.

There is no chance, however, that their 基準s will 減少(する). Along with the two 肩書を与える-勝利者s who remain 正規の/正選手s, Kasper Schmeichel and Jamie Vardy, they are the perfect example for developing 星/主役にするs like James Maddison, Ben Chilwell and Harvey Barnes to follow. Their 堅い, 選び出す/独身-minded 態度 keeps everyone on their toes.

Indeed, when Chilwell and midfielder Hamza Choudhury were left out of the squad for the 最近の 敗北・負かす at Burnley as they had 行方不明になるd a training 開会/開廷/会期 during the week, they had to answer to the 上級の professionals, not just Rodgers.

'We've got a few players who were part of that 肩書を与える-winning squad and we know that in every game we need to be at our best,' said Albrighton. 'In the season we won the league, we were.

'We went into each game 確信して and feeling like we could (警官の)巡回区域,受持ち区域 anyone. We need to have that mentality this season.

'When we won the league we didn't do too 井戸/弁護士席 in the cup 競争s but we have a different group of players now.?

'The squad is a lot younger and more inexperienced, but these 肉親,親類d of seasons are what you play the game for.?These young lads are so lucky to be at such a 広大な/多数の/重要な club with such a 広大な/多数の/重要な 経営者/支配人 and coaching staff.

'They can learn plenty and it will stand them in good stead for the 残り/休憩(する) of their careers.'

Albrighton, Fuchs and Morgan all played 重要な 役割s in a tricky game at Brentford, where an 早期に strike from Kelechi Iheanacho (below) was enough to send Leicester into 一連の会議、交渉/完成する five.< /p>

With the Bees chasing 昇進/宣伝 to the 最高の,を越す flight and Leicester approaching a 半分-final, it was 必然的な that both Rodgers and Bees boss Thomas Frank would 回転/交替 hea vily.

Even though Iheanacho grabbed the 勝利者, Rodgers will be desperate for Vardy to 回復する from a glute 傷害 in time for the 郊外住宅 game.

Brentford have a 類似して important game on Tuesday, against 昇進/宣伝 競争相手s Nottingham Forest, as they try to 栄冠を与える their final season at Griffin Park by (人命などを)奪う,主張するing a place in the 首相 League. Their prolific 'BMW' 今後 line ― Said Benrahma, Bryan Mbeumo and Ollie Watkins ― are 始める,決める to return.
