Leicester City manager Ruud van Nistelrooy has praised Wilfred Ndidi following the Foxes’ impressive 3-1 victory over West Ham United in the Premier League on Tuesday night.
The Dutchman enjoyed a winning start to his reign at the King Power Stadium, with Leicester producing a spirited display to secure all three points.
Softfootball understands that Ndidi’s commanding performance in midfield was one of the standout positives of the evening, as the Nigerian international dominated duels, broke up attacks, and helped Leicester control the tempo of the game.
Van Nistelrooy singled out Ndidi and Boubakary Soumaré for their outstanding work in midfield, highlighting their energy, ball-winning ability, and composure in possession as key factors behind the team’s victory.
The Leicester boss also stressed the importance of togetherness, determination, and confidence, insisting those qualities formed the foundation of the team’s impressive display. He noted that the strong support from the home fans further inspired the players and created the belief needed to secure a positive result.
