holy balls

[@matthewstevens1736]

For me the most underappreciated factor in Leicester’s title-winning season was their “throwback” style of tactics, reverting to moving the ball forward exceptionally quickly, forgetting about maintaining possession and moving back to 4-4-2. You need to remember that back in 2015, 4-4-2 was almost seen as totally and utterly dead and redundant. Not only did no-one really play it any longer, no-one really prepared for it either. The prevailing wisdom was twofold: 1) That the modern 4-3-3 was just *better* than 4-4-2; the reason being that a strong and powerful centre-forward could occupy both opposing central-defenders and thereby giving the central-midfield 3 an overload against the opponents 2. 2) Possession is, was and forever will be King. Maintaining possession of the ball was everything; attacking and defending was defined by who had the ball, and territory meant nothing. Ranieri’s Leicester team completely flew in the face of all of this; and for those of you reading this who might be a bit too young to remember this in any detail, it really was something that opposing teams just simply *did not know* how to deal with. They didn’t know how to deal with a team who stood off you and just *didn’t care* about not being in possession. They didn’t know how to deal with the speed of the counter-attacks or how quick Leicester were to go back-to-front. They didn’t know how to deal with the opposing centre-forward being a player with electric pace from the central position rather than the wings. You have to give tremendous credit to Ranieri. I’d even say his success with Leicester has had an element of influence on further success including what Klopp has had with Liverpool.

My Uncle, a long time Chelsea fan, took me and my dad to a game against Leicester. I knew nothing about Leicester, but I cheared for them as a joke at first to get a reaction out of my uncle. But... when the game started and I saw this incredible team fight with everything they had, as if loosing would literally kill them, I fell in love. The Football, the passion, the athmosphere in their stadium... It was beautyfull. I followed the rest of the season and have been following/supporting Leicester City ever since even though I live in Germany. This Club is so special to me and I am extremely lucky to have whitnessed this miracle of a season thanks to what was largely a coincidence.

I've been following this channel for some time, and I am so glad you finally made a video about Leicester! The ultimate underdogs, a team made of rejects and failures, with a coach who was just sacked from Greece National Team after 4 matches. Over 8 months, I was amazed as Vardy banged in goals and Kante literally ran the opponent to death. Everyone on that team was a key figure. Kasper the reliable goalie, Houth and Morgan at the back, Kante and Drinkwater controlled the mid while Mahrez and his smooth touches gave the ball to Vardy and he did the rest. Okazaki, Ulloa, King, Albrighton, Schlupp, I could go on and on. But the most surprising thing is, they didn't just drop off after one season. They reached the UCL quarter finals tye very next season, won the FA cup last year, and reached UECL semis this year. Leicester is probably the best run club in EPL right now, and hopefully will challenge the big boys week in week out very soon. Love from probably the only fox from Dhaka, Bangladesh.❤️

17:22 I believe you missed a quite "obvious" one here. Fuchs is Austrian so his name is German, and in German "Fuchs" actually means "fox", which is, of course, absolutely perfect considering the team he was playing for! Regarding "an off-year" - this is, maybe on purpose, misinterpreted by you. The big clubs had an off-year, all of them, which is very rare and which is why we don't see this kind of stuff happening a lot. But of course even when the big clubs have an off-year some club must have a very good year to actually be able to capitalize on it, which Leicester did in amazing fashion. btw, it would have been good to also talk about their CL campaign in the following season, which was quite good as well.

[@SuperNeilAdams]

"The big clubs had an off-year, all of them". This is a popular line regarding that season, yet you have to remember Leicester only lost 3 matches in 15/16. If it's fair to put their success down to other teams underperforming then you have to wonder why that line was never invoked for previous 'big team' champions with less impressive numbers. It just comes across like football snobbery to me.

Slight correction: the FA Cup triumph was in 2021 Before I discovered Leicester in 2016, all the talk in primary school at the time was around the so called 'big clubs'- Man Utd, Chelsea and the like. I wasn't interested in football back then, until I saw Leicester's title winning game. I was inspired by the fact that a previously unknown club could achieve the unexpected not with huge profits and big signings, but by teamwork, passion and integrity. From then on, I knew Leicester City was for me. *It has been over 6 years since I made that decision, we have had triumphs and setbacks, seen many greats leave and new talent emerge, and witnessed managers being sacked after shock defeats, but I have never come to regret my decision to be different from the crowd and support grit rather than solely talent*

This is a fabulous recap! Came across it alongside a highlight clip of Vardy scoring against Preston... I'm not a football fan as such, but this season and Leicester certainly caught my attention; I was hooked. It was really good to see the game being played as it was meant to be played - fast, hard, attacking, no messing about and full of self belief and a strong intent to win every single time. You can't be a team sports fan and not be super-impressed and thoroughly entertained at how they went about that entire competition. The fact that they won it was, well, the cherry on the icing on the cake. The other part of it for me was finding out how the club owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha went about his business as owner. His positive approach to ownership and the bond he created between himself, the club and community (not just the fan base) was thoroughly enchanting. It made the whole incredible sporting adventure on the pitch a shared experience, the ultimate group-mind trip. This was not a £billion side mechanistically winning, counting the gate receipts, ad revenue and TV money and restocking the club memorabilia and trinkets shop. This was all about people; *all* the people. Quite a guy. I've rarely been so upset as when I saw the news of his death on the 27/10/2018. And Ranieri; he helped achieve the impossible result. Never has such an investment in pizza paid such dividends. His career has had ups and downs, but of all team sports managers in (probably) all of human history, he is the only one who can pull out the memories quite like that, chuckle, and tuck them away again. I hope the portrait of him and the team and others on the wall in Leicester is still there and remains.

[@JonathanBradysouth-africa]

This team was insane. Nobody saw this coming. I also think the upheaval at Man City allowed Leicester to consolidate a proper start to the season.

Yayayay another longer video I'm so happy!! Love the vids, keep it up!!

Jamie vardy is genuinely a world class player, his passion, his passing, finishing and his entire attitude embodies a professional athlete dedicated to his team. Severely underrated in the prem, he was out for what 6/8 weeks this season gone and comes back, scores a goal, had another minor break comes back and continuously scores till the end of the season. King.

[@lcfcsince2016]

I think us Leicester fans take Vardy for granted sometimes, we absolutely love his talents and antics at the away end. I'm saying this because when he was injured for long periods of last season, we did suffer and that's not because we are a one man team, but he does contribute to a major part of our success. I don't see Vardy retiring soon, but even if he does, we are seeing the emergence of new talent such as Maddison and Dewsbury-Hall who are inspired by Jamie Vardy

[@nickrhall6867]

His passing? I’m a Leicester fan and I’ve got to say, his passing and first touch do let him down quite a bit every now and then. His finishing and passion is what makes him a great player, I wouldn’t say world class though but do love him 🦊

Deserves to be in the premier league hall of fame

[@DrewsSpace]

I was fortunate enough to have a season ticket for our title-winning season. It was the perfect blend of factors coming together all at once. People don't realise the end to the prior season was no fluke, most lcfc fans felt very hard done by at the start of the 'big escape' campaign, we played nice football but just had some missing ingredients. The following season had the perfect mix of managerial tactics, work ethics and a sprinkle of world-class talent. People often say in Leicester that Nigel Pearson should be credited with the Premier League but they are dead wrong, they miss the point that Nigel Pearson (as much as I rate him an lcfc legend) would not have been so naive against the big 6. Raneri had a setup and he knew it had everything, Pearson would have tailored the system to come out with a draw against the big 6. On top of tactics we had players who will be remembered as Premier League greats, prime Vardy, Kante & Marhrez would waltz in to most teams and every other player put their heart and soul into every game. It was truly one of the greatest moments of my life to watch our team lift the trophy and it is a sporting achievement that will down in history.

Leicester City were NOT supposed to get relegated! 🤣🤣🤣

[@thebrotherhood227]

West Brom’s great escape has got to be the best surviving relegation story for me

[@GIBBO4182]

I’m a WBA fan and it is easily! (I’m biased) but seriously, 1st team to stay up after being bottom of the league at Christmas and we started the last day of the season bottom of the league if memory serves me correctly

[@FootballIconic]

To be fair, Leicester were bottom of the league in April. But I completely get what you mean- that was miraculous!

[@bimsingh7553]

The Great escape was incredible,but as Albion were relegated the season after,it's a bit hollow, at least the season after Leicester had a great run in the champions League.

[@SamWinchester000]

May I tell you something funny? Borussia Dortmund started the second part of the 2014/15 season at the bottom of the table and in the end they reached the 7th place and qualified for the EL qualification round. I guess, that would be a greater achievement then only avoiding relegation. 😅 Btw, even though that was a Bundesliga record for a bottom placed team - although the 7th place actually only leveled a decades old previous record - that season, and to be precise a completely chanceless 1-3 loss against Gladbach after a long winning streak and chase for a better place, was the explicit reason why Klopp announced his retirement from Dortmund because he thought that they needed a change, even though the club bagged for him to reverse his choice (I think he had a contract planned to go until 2021 back then). In the end, his retirement propably helped as the team played better than ever in that season and finally secured the 7th place, but I'm leaving the point of the original story... They went from 18th to 7th in half a season.

[@tomhammond3495]

One interesting thing that a lot of people forget about was that the margin of victory could have been even larger than 10 points. Mahrez missed 2 penalties in January that year against Bournemouth and Villa. Had he scored them, Leicester would have turned those draws into wins and would have won the league by 14 points. Incredible.

[@HICHAM-73]

. It's all you remember about Mahrez ? .

[@AlexLeafy]

I follow other big leafues way more than the PL, but that year was amazing. Leicester gave hope to the average fan that football is still for the people and that you can win even without big money spending.

Surprised you didn't cover the costs and when they bought some of the stand out players more. Mahrez for just 400k in the championship was a combination of great scouting and luck

Great video, gotta be the biggest moment of the prem era. Surprised there was no mention of Gary linker in his pants though

Its funny to see you beeing suprised that much over the win of the PL because Leicester looks like a normal Footbalclub over here in Germany, but it seems that this was really really a special thing for England thx for your videos man i appreciate you a lot.

[@guchumbogo]

A very nice video, but a bit of correction. Wenger had already scouted N'golo Kante and he even says he regrets never signing him together with Ronaldo way back

[@hugolouessard3914]

And now they've been relegated and have lost almost all their best players... How did they get relegated with the squad they had last year? Vardy is still there though... As for their Premier League title, what a season that was for them. But it is true that usual contenders were having difficulties : Manchester CIty had finished the first phase of their rise to the top and were looking for a new breathe. Manchester United were just 2 years after the end of a very long success period and were (and still are) searching for a new beginning. Liverpool had Klopp just arrive but he hadn't started building his own team yet. Chelsea was doing up and down from one year to the other (they won in 2015 and 2017 after all) Arsenal were still good but extraordinary and looked really "average" Tottenham were on the rise, and they really had their best shot that year and the one after, but they were not at their peak yet. But of course, Leicester did fantastic, and after a miracle to not be relegated, that makes it even more surprising. However, there's a save from relegation that happens in 2015-2016 that is even more crazy than Leicester in 2014-2015. That year in Ligue 1, Toulouse was 19th at day 28, 10 points from the 17th place. Look it up, it was crazy. They completely transformed after the new manager arrived.
