Top 3 players of the season
Vardy was simply incredible. Compare him to Costa at Chelsea and it will give you the answer to why Leicester City pulled off a miracle, and no other manager could have done it.
Vardy, like Ian Wright at Arsenal, is in his late twenties which will end the myth of players being too old at 25, especially in a day when you can play till your late thirties. Look at Teddy Sheringham (played brilliantly at 40), because he trained well, looked after his body and was lucky to be injury free.
Robert Huth was under Ranieri at Chelsea when they finished runners-up.
He did an outstanding job after Stoke City allowing him to leave.
Horses for courses I suppose, why would Chelsea and Stoke sell the big German?
Frenchman N’Golo Kante made our English international midfield players look like Dummies, with his great willingness to get all over the field, and like the great Alan Ball, showed he is much more than a work-horse. He has wonderful technique and a great footbal brain. He was outstanding stallion in a team full of great horses in a trainers yard. All trainers do is get their horses as fit as possible and in the right frame of mind, that was Ranieri. Kante was indestructible in the heart of a fantastic team effort.
Then Rayid Mahrez, the one player. like Deli Alli at Spurs, with that wonderful ability to make something out of nothing with that great swagger on the bal. Alli is English best find for years, and if he behaves he will be world class, unlike so many failures before him.
When Kante got the ball he knew he had to get it to Mahrez their main source of creativity.
Top 3 managers of the season
The Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe, who defied the odds of relegation in style and will be better for the experience, and also just turned down $26million for two players telling the media “Why would we want to sell our best players? We have money, what we don’t want is inferior players, we want to keep our best ones.
Simplicity is genius here!
Claudio Ranieri, who tore up the coaching annual and got football back-to-basics and, now through experience, players respond to “simplicity” and managers concentrating “getting the best out of you”.
The Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino, the man who after several dodgy Spurs managers employed by the Spurs board, had resurrected this football club. The Argentinian has “raised the bar” and will win the championship in the next two years as he promised. Confidence is everything!
