Huth has been instrumental for Leicester
Leicester City had surprised many pundits last season when they finished the Premier League as the champion. There were not a lot of people that would have believed that a relegation candidate last season has managed to end up winning the title.
Many theories and explanations have come out on how Claudio Ranieri managed to inspire his side to success. However, no one can deny the performance of Robert Huth at the back for Leicester City.
The former Chelsea man has been rock-solid at the back and has allowed Leicester City’s attacking players some freedom forward. Indeed, Leicester City’s strategy has been based on a counter-attacking approach where they allowed the opponents possession and hit them on the break with the quick forward players.
However, without a good defensive player, you might end up conceding goals before you can even counter. But with a player as Huth at the back, Swansea City remained solid and did not concede a lot of goals.
With is partner Wes Morgan, Robert Huth has made an excellent duo and has not allowed a lot of ground to the opposing players. They have also been favored with a lack of severe injuries, and the pairs had only missed one game between them when Huth was suspended.
When both men have been played together, opposition players have found it hard to get pass them, and this has been shown in a number of clean sheets that Leicester City has kept. One area where both players have excelled is in a number of blocks made. This showed the determination as well as the aggressiveness that both players have displayed on the pitch.
Robert Huth will be hoping that he can continue in the same way and help Leicester City in their first season in the Champions League.
