Enzo Maresca has disclosed the rationale behind the shared playing time for Leicester City’s strikers. Meanwhile, an EFL expert maintains that Leicester City’s promotion is not guaranteed at this stage.
Could Jamie Vardy and Kelechi Iheanacho be deployed together as a striking partnership in certain scenarios? Yes, they can and have seen success together on a few occasions over the years. However, every manager at Filbert Way utilizes a one-centre forward system, leaving limited opportunities for them to play together, except perhaps when Leicester were chasing games in injury time. The real question lies in identifying Enzo Maresca’s preferred choice for the sole striker role, which does not exist. Currently, the King Power club has two first-choice stars in that position.
Ultimately, the Italian coach has opted not to favor one over the other, a decision that has seemed beneficial for the Foxes this season. According to Maresca, the former England international excels inside the box, while Iheanacho is regarded as better at link-up play. Essentially, Maresca expressed that he will continue to rotate the attackers, indicating that this determination is influenced by the ever-changing nature of the opposition.
