‘They Compliment Each Other Well’- Rodgers Happy With Ndidi, Tielemans Partnership

Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers says Wilfred Ndidi and Youri Tielemans have a perfect understanding on the pitch, reports Completesports.com.

The duo have formed a productive partnership in Leicester City’s midfield this season.

“They play different roles. This is the beauty of this league, there’s so much diversity in terms of styles you play against and systems too,” Rodgers told the club website.

“You have to have flexibility, but those two really complement each other. Wilf had a great game the other night in a high-intensity game with lots of duels, where you’ve got to win your headers, got to be strong, got to be aggressive, got to cover ground. Youri does that too but then [Ndidi] can pass it to Youri and he can play the forward passes.

“There’s a great combination there between the two. If you can get that in one player, he’s probably worth £150M. They both have their own strengths and they complement each other very well.”

The Foxes will host Chelsea at the King Power Stadium on Tuesday (today).
Rodger’s side currently enjoy a six-game unbeaten run, including their victory over Southampton on Saturday at the King Power Stadium.
