'Excitement!' - Ruud van Nistelrooy lifts lid on style of play he will implement at Leicester after taking over from sacked Steve Cooper at King Power Stadium

Premier League

Newcastle

Leicester

<p>Van Nistelrooy has claimed <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ruud-van-nistelrooy-enzo-maresca-first-person-called-leicester-new-boss-copy-chelsea-coach-foxes/blt291356266224b59c" target="_blank">he will aim to replicate the football played by Enzo Maresca’s Leicester</a> last season that led to their promotion to the Premier League. The Dutchman will try to rejuvenate the Foxes whose <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/steve-cooper-sacked-leicester-wield-axe-ex-nottingham-forest-boss/bltbdfb030a7d5e5011" target="_blank">defensive style of play under Steve Cooper was unpopular with the fanbase</a>, despite picking up a number of vital points. Having <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ruud-van-nistelrooy-earned-right-ruben-amorim-no-2-man-utd-transition-run-smoothly/blt7ece5b42b9ccb437" target="_blank">impressed in his interim spell in charge of Manchester United this month</a>, Van Nistelrooy has been entrusted with guiding Leicester away from the relegation zone and to Premier League security.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>There is a lot of work that needs to be done by Van Nistelrooy to turn a stale Leicester side into one that excites its fans. The new Foxes boss is less concerned however and believes the talent in the squad should be enough to provide attacking football, despite <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/chelsea-complete-signing-kiernan-dewsbury-hall-from-leicester-city/bltc4faeee1b3e8f40a" target="_blank">losing last season's key man Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to Chelsea</a>. Van Nistelrooy aims to make an immediate and positive impact.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking to the club's social media team, Van Nistelrooy said: "If you look at the squad, there is some exciting talent in all lines of play; defence, midfield and attack. Of course, the excitement is there when you have the ball and create chances and you go for the win. In every game, that is the goal."</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="et" dir="ltr">Walking with Ruud 💬 <a href="https://t.co/EHt9WxQuqi">pic.twitter.com/EHt9WxQuqi</a></p>— Leicester City (@LCFC) <a href="https://twitter.com/LCFC/status/1862594883854172642?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 29, 2024</a></blockquote>

WHAT VAN NISTELROOY SAID

<p>Van Nistelrooy has a chance to bring back the excitement to Leicester when he takes his side to Brentford. Thomas Frank’s side will be no easy challenge and if Leicester take anything from the Gtech Community Stadium, Van Nistelrooy can be pleased.</p>
