​Rodgers: Give Leicester forward Vardy quality service and he will score goals

Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers has been revealing how he gets the best out of 33 year old striker Jamie Vardy.

Vardy won the Premier League Golden Boot last season and is currently third on the scoring charts this year.

"You let the player know that you believe in him. He's a striker that I've always admired. We try to feed into the front players as quickly as we possibly can," he said.

"We have to give him quality service, and when we do that there's not many players better. When he's away on goal, you don't think of anything but 'goal'

"He gets me and what I'm looking for. He's got the personality, and my ideal footballer has that mental strength. We have to play to the strengths and quality to one of the best strikers in Europe"
