Drop deep, drop deeper
Against the dangerous pace of Jamie Vardy or Ahmed Musa, there’s one way to defend; drop deep. If you really back your defenders to hold off against the dangerous speed, then good luck with that, I guess.
Leicester look to transition quickly, play direct passes and attack the space behind the opposition defence. It’s simple, and can be mighty effective when in full flow.
Holding a deep defensive line and dropping off as quickly as possible once the Foxes get the ball, is the best way to restrict the damage this Leicester can do to you.
