Leicester boss Rodgers hails Vardy football intelligence

Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers is full of praise for the football intelligence of Jamie Vardy.

The Foxes host Premier League leaders Liverpool later today.

"He's so honest that he'd press the entire back four if he could," said Rodgers.

"He plays an aggressive game that suits him with tactical ideas that allow him to conserve his energy.

"How we play, being aggressive and playing quickly obviously suits him. But his finishing ability, how clinical he is, is absolutely phenomenal. That's a big testament to his concentration. When the opportunities come he's always ready."
