“‘Need to be careful’: Leicester manager acknowledges he’s worried about three Leeds stars”

November 3, 2023

Leicester City manager Enzo Maresca is well aware of the danger posed by Leeds United’s attacking trio of Crysencio Summerville, Daniel James, and Wilfried Gnonto in their crucial Championship clash on Friday. He acknowledges their speed and ability to exploit transition moments.

Huddersfield Town experienced Leeds’ attacking prowess firsthand, finding themselves trailing by four goals at half-time in their recent encounter. Daniel James and Crysencio Summerville both scored twice, showcasing their impressive form. Maresca also highlights Wilfried Gnonto as a highly-rated member of the Leeds squad.

Leicester has the opportunity to extend their lead over third-place Leeds to a staggering 17 points with a victory at the King Power Stadium. A win would be their 14th in 15 league games since being relegated.

Maresca emphasizes the importance of maintaining control and composure in order to limit Leeds’ ability to exploit their rapid counter-attacking pace. He advocates for patient build-up play, with multiple passes before launching attacks, to prevent Leeds from capitalizing on quick transitions.

Despite the significance of the game, Maresca remains focused on the objective of securing three points, treating it as no different from any other match. He compares it to their previous games against Sunderland and QPR, emphasizing the importance of accumulating points consistently.
