Leicester is still trying to play his identity – Kasper Schmeichel

Kasper Schmeichel explains that Leicester City is still looking for his identity in the Premier League, but his boss Brendan Rodgers can make it a leading club.

The club was promoted to the highest level in 2014 and won the Premier League title in 2016 before the death of its owner in a helicopter crash last season.

Rodgers was appointed in February, replacing Claude Puel, who was sacked after 16 months of liability.

"I do not think we have a Premier League identity," said goalkeeper Schmeichel.

"We had an identity in the championship, as we had done under Nigel Pearson for three years, then we moved to the Premier League and had a great season of escape before we won. the Premier League in our second season.

"But then you're thinking" what kind of team are we? "

"We skipped a few steps, it's really important to find that identity: who are we and what kind of team are we?"

"Everything is in place, we have an extraordinary director, extraordinary owners, a new training ground and everything is in place to establish us.

"When we look at the team, the potential, the youth, the chances are endless.We are a club that believes in the impossible and wants to establish itself as one of the best clubs. "

Rodgers, who joined Leicester since Celtic midway through last season, said he hoped his team would play an exciting and entertaining "football" to improve the players.

Northern Irishman, 46, took over with the Foxes in 11th place in the Premier League and took them to ninth place.

After supporters complained of the football style of former boss Puel, Schmeichel said that the arrival of Rodgers "has everything up a bit".

Rodgers added, "Culture is very important, culture is half the battle, and if you can create an environment in which players get to work, you can create code in your work and live it every day. it is absolutely essential, is a game identity.

"I have an inherent belief in my way of working.It's not the right way or the wrong way, but it's always so that I've always perceived the development of players and that I want my teams to perform well.

"In the end, we are here to win but we want to win so as to excite and entertain the fans and improve the players.

"Building this culture and environment is a task in which we have worked hard and will continue to grow over time."

Schmeichel also believes Leicester can build on the culture of former owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, who died after a helicopter crash at King Power Stadium last October.

"His identity is printed on this club wherever you go," said the Danish goalkeeper. "All his values, everything he was, we: family, solidarity, unity, courage and make it impossible possible.

"He was nicknamed" the impossible man "and he had a belief.You can doubt it, but when you look him in the eyes, you do not doubt that he really thinks what he was saying When a man like that says it, he gives you conviction and his loss will always be felt in the club.

"Fortunately we have his son [Aiyawatt]. The way he intensified and treated his unbearable sorrow without trying to hide it, but to share it with the fans and lead the club, we are lucky. "
