Leicester reaffirmed their position at the summit of the Championship table on Friday evening. That is with a convincing 4-1 victory over Southampton at St Mary’s. This performance underscored their status as leading contenders for promotion. However, Casadei who is Leciester’s new recruit, attracted criticsm after the match.
Cesare Casadei, a 20-year-old talent, continued his run of appearances as a substitute for the Foxes in his fourth consecutive league match. However, the Chelsea loanee faced difficulties in making the most of his just over half an hour on the pitch during the game.
The local media did not hold back in their assessment of Casadei’s brief appearance during the second half. Thus, offering a critical evaluation of his performance.
Can Casadei prove himself at Leicester?
In Casadei’s defense, it can be quite challenging for him to establish a consistent rhythm in his game. When he continues to be omitted from the starting lineup. The Italian youngster possesses significant talent as a box-to-box midfielder. And many believe he has the potential to make a substantial impact in the Championship. However, he faces a daunting task breaking into a Leicester XI that boasts considerable strength and depth.
Despite scoring a match-winning goal in his first league appearance for the Foxes against Cardiff City, the manager has refrained from including him in the starting lineup for league matches.
With the fixtures stacking up during the demanding Championship season, Casadei should anticipate more opportunities coming his way. Hence, he must be preparing to capitalize on them when they arise.
Reports from The Athletic a few months ago indicate that Casadei left a positive impression during his training sessions. Hence, Leicester supporters should continue supporting the young loanee, as he clearly possesses genuine talent that could shine through with more opportunities.
