Ndidi and Leicester’s Promotion
Ndidi's role was transformed by Leicester City manager Enzo Maresca, who repositioned him from a defensive midfielder to one of the double 8s in the team's setup.
This tactical change proved to be a masterstroke, as Ndidi thrived in his new position, scoring four goals and providing five assists in 30 appearances.
)
Alongside Ndidi, several other players played pivotal roles in Leicester City's promotion campaign.
Abdul Fatawu, the Ghana youngster on loan from Sporting Lisbon, was a standout performer, contributing 6 goals and 12 assists, including a sensational hat-trick.
)
Another standout star was Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Ndidi's partner in the midfield, a key player for the Foxes.
The talented midfielder scored 12 goals and provided 14 assists, cementing his status as one of the most important players in the team's long road to the Premier League.
)
Stephy Mavididi also played a significant part in Leicester City's success, setting up Ndidi's last goal for the club and contributing 12 goals and 6 assists throughout the season.
Undoubtedly, the mastermind behind Leicester's promotion was manager Maresca, the former assistant to Manchester City's Pep Guardiola.
)
Maresca deserves immense credit for his tactical decisions, including the repositioning of Ndidi, as well as his overall oversight of the team's progress and development throughout the season.
The collective effort and contributions of Ndidi, Fatawu, Dewsbury-Hall, Mavididi, and Enzo have been instrumental in Leicester City's successful promotion campaign to the PL.
Their performances and strategic decisions have cemented the Foxes' return to the top division, setting the stage for an exciting season ahead.
