Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers believes a lot is being made up about his current situation.

The Foxes coach is in serious trouble at the King Power stadium club, with the team in the relegation zone after the first quarter of the Premier League season.

While he has maintained he does not fear for his job, Rodgers did defend his character and hit back at certain narratives about him in the media recently.

On a report that he had stormed out of a media briefing, he told reporters: “That's unfortunately the narrative people want to take. I'm not the type. I have always tried and hopefully been generous with my time, but I've never stormed out of anything. I've never done that.

"It's just unfortunate that there's a narrative there. Because we're not doing so well there needs to be substance to that. We all know the manager is under pressure but I've always tried to stay calm and stay composed in the situation, even though it is a difficult one.

“It doesn't mean I don't care, I'm as passionate as anyone. I think I have showed that in my time here. But when you're in a difficult period and a rocky moment it's even more so you keep that calmness and stay patient and inspire the players.

“Whatever you say when you're towards the bottom of the league, it will never be right. That is the nature. When you are winning everything seems great, when you are losing you talk rubbish."
