Why is Leicester difficult to beat? 1
Troy Deeney is the captain of Watford.
Robert Huth’s cornerstone
`I have faced all the defenses in the Premier League this season and Huth is the most difficult opponent,` Deeney praised Leicester’s veteran midfielder.
In Deeney’s analysis, Huth and his partner Wes Morgan are classic midfielders who like to use strength.
Besides personal factors, one of the strengths of Leicester’s defense is the ability to communicate and connect between players.
The two central defenders always secure their positions
Deeney’s task when facing Leicester is to play the spearhead role, receiving the ball in the highest position.
Huth and Morgan never ran after their opponents and got into a one-on-one situation.
The two positions that Leicester’s central defenders chose to sit in were the near corner post and the center of the 16m50 circle, near the penalty mark.
Okazaki started 23 matches in the Premier League this season and only played three matches completely.

Kante is the player with the most successful tackles this season with 139, more than any player in the highest leagues in England, Spain, Italy, Germany and France.
Breathless with Kante and Drinkwater
`When the ball is passed from home, I have to deal with the strength of Huth and then the central midfield duo. N’Golo Kante and Danny Drinkwater will not stop harassing your side. If Kante stops

In the most recent match, Southampton made 33 crosses but only five times the ball reached a player within 16m50 (green and yellow arrows in the left photo).
Cut the ball and counter attack
With the duo of Kante and Drinkwater in the middle, Leicester forced their opponents to move to the flanks.
Besides the readiness of the two midfielders Huth and Morgan, the two full-backs Simpson and Fuchs are also good in the air.
Waiting for crosses is also part of Leicester’s attack plan.
Fans are a source of great strength for Leicester.
Paper fans
The interesting thing in the stands at King Power Stadium is the appearance of paper fans that the organizers left on the seats before the match.
`At many stadiums where we visit, the fans are always holding cameras and phones to take pictures instead of creating a passionate atmosphere. At Leicester, everything the fans do is to
