RUUD VAN NISTELROOY ALREADY KNOWS PATSON DAKA INSIDE OUT AS LEICESTER CITY STRIKER PLAN SET
Leicester City’s new manager, Ruud van Nistelrooy, has revealed that he already knows striker Patson Daka inside out, thanks to their previous encounters in the Champions League.
Van Nistelrooy, who was appointed as Leicester City’s new manager last week, has been tasked with turning around the team’s fortunes and leading them back to European competition. And it seems that he already has a plan in place for Daka, who has been struggling to find his form in recent weeks.
_A FAMILIAR FACE_
– “I know Patson from our Champions League matches against Red Bull Salzburg,” Van Nistelrooy said in an interview. “He’s a talented player with a lot of potential, and I’m excited to work with him.”
– Van Nistelrooy’s knowledge of Daka’s strengths and weaknesses will undoubtedly be an asset as he looks to get the best out of the Zambian striker.
_A PLAN IN PLACE_
– “I’ve already spoken to Patson about my plans for him, and I think he’s excited about the challenge ahead,” Van Nistelrooy revealed. “We’ll be working on his finishing and movement in the box, as well as his link-up play with the rest of the team.”
– Van Nistelrooy’s plan for Daka is likely to involve giving him more freedom to roam and create chances, rather than simply playing as a traditional target man.
_DAKA’S RESPONSE_
– Daka has responded positively to Van Nistelrooy’s plans, saying “I’m excited to work with the new manager and learn from him. I know I haven’t been at my best recently, but I’m confident that I can turn things arou
