Casadei has been given the opportunity to showcase his skills as he started the last two matches for Leicester. In the absence of Wilfred Ndidi, he has played a crucial role in midfield, contributing to Leicester’s impressive winning streak in the Championship.
During the summer, Casadei joined Leicester on loan from Chelsea and he is expected to become a more prominent figure in their midfield. His main focus at the moment is to bring consistency to his game, which is a common challenge for young players like him who are still gaining experience.
Baraclough, who recognizes Casadei’s potential, believes that Leicester is the perfect environment for his growth. The support of senior players will facilitate his development and allow his talent to flourish.
Speaking on the When You’re Smiling Podcast, the former Leicester star stated, “Casadei is a young player who needs to find consistency in his performances. Every week, he needs to ensure that he is at the top of his game. In a team where squad numbers determine playing time, anyone can be replaced if they don’t perform well.”
He also acknowledged the difficulties young players face, experiencing both highs and lows in their performance. There are numerous factors that influence their game consistently. However, in Leicester, Casadei is fortunate to have experienced and supportive teammates. Even if he makes mistakes, they will not criticize or discourage him. This supportive environment will enable him to thrive and reach his full potential.
Casadei’s upcoming challenge will be against fellow promotion contenders Leeds United on Friday night. He will be hoping to secure a starting position and continue contributing to Leicester’s success.
