Leicester boss Rodgers: PSV clash will be intense; players and fans up for it

Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers says they'll be up for their Europa Conference League clash with PSV Eindhoven.

Leicester meet PSV in the first-leg of their quarterfinal on Thursday night.

Rodgers said, “When you arrive in a quarter-final. It's going to be an intense game. Our supporters and players will be up for it.

“Once we arrived into this competition, we wanted to win it. We don't have a huge European history.

“They've done very well in the league. Offensively, they are very good going forward and they score goals. They concede goals too. Roger is a very good coach. Like most teams from the Netherlands they play very good football. They're very creative.

“It's another competition. For me it's about the team and the performance. The players are developing. They want to continue that feeling of winning. We have two good games against PSV.

“We don't have a rich history in Europe, so it's deemed a big occasion. Supporters will create a special atmosphere and we will need that for the tempo. We hope to have a good advantage coming away from the first leg."
