Any remaining Enzo Maresca doubters in the Blue Army will likely be swayed by a revealing and encouraging factor about the Leicester City boss’s time with the Foxes. In addition to that, Foxes of Leicester provide information from the Italian gaffer’s latest LCFC press conference.
Leicester sit atop the Championship table after 10 matches played. The Foxes are currently two-points ahead of nearest rivals for the English second division crown, Ipswich Town. A slightly more solid defence appears to be the difference at present: the east Midlands side have conceded five fewer goals than the Tractor Boys. However, Ipswich, along with teams such as Preston North End, Sunderland and West Bromwich Albion, will probably push Maresca’s men as far as the dying embers of the competition for automatic promotion. LCFC are in pole position, and are very much architects of their own ascendancy.
But it is a long season, as the former Manchester City staff member states on a regular basis. Maresca’s success at Leicester, at an infant stage of course, is down to a number of things. First of all, recruitment was far more proficient and sufficient in preseason, as I see it. A clear vision and philosophy is also unravelling on Filbert Way. Players now want to be at King Power Stadium; many previously did not, supposedly. Although, it is the ex-Parma head coach’s dedication which stands out to me. Reportedly, the 43-year-old and the squad stayed overnight for a week at the Seagrave training centre in order to ‘build a culture’ and ‘convey ideas’. His commitment may ultimately be the characteristic which buoyed and galvanised the roster for the common aspiration: a Premier League comeback.
