"We Played Some Fantastic Football" - Brendan Rodgers | Leicester City vs. Nottingham Forest

Brendan, congratulations, how do you reflect and review what was a great night here at the King Power Stadium? Yes, a bright note for the fans and the players. The intensity index from the first whistle was there or the desire to win the ball was there and then we

played

.

fantastic

football

scores great goals so yes, it was a very good night for us. Did you feel that you felt this week and before the game that that performance that result was coming? Yes, yes, I felt that the international break gave us. a chance to reset and it's been a tough market for us over the summer and in the first seven games with the opponents we had and everything that happened, but give us a chance to, like I say, reset and refocus and um and we.

I knew this was going to be a big game not only in terms of points and performance but also for the fans because last season we let them down again but we made up for it tonight, they will be proud of the team. and the full goals and clean sheep started off very positively on the front foot, but then Forrest hit the post and it was kind of a turning point because it wasn't long after we took the lead, yeah, yeah, well, I already got it you know. "You're against good players, you're always going to concede

some

chances, but that was probably the closest they got, apart from one chance at the end, but now, in general, you know you always have to concentrate.

I think for me it's the best ". The desire in the team was really good and that's what we need more to prevent goals from coming in and from that we can continue to move forward now, how important and crucial two quick goals were that maybe calmed the nerves a little bit. shortly after Harvey's second, yeah, well, we talked about it before the game, look at the games against Bournemouth and against Fulham. They felt it wasn't going fast enough for us, so we said we have to keep pushing. as soon as we score or go again and press again, so, and the players were able to do very well,

some

quality goals, particularly from Harvey, and we have to talk about James Madison and another outstanding performance, yes, yes, it's one of the best players.

In the country, you know, it's a shame that he can't prove it at the highest level, so I can only pray that he has the opportunity to at least be in the team because they have a player like that. He is

fantastic

, we talk about the goals and the victory, but the clean sheet is also there just to top off the night, yes, yes, well, I said it before the game and I told the players: "You know you can't win

football

". games and especially Derby games without the desire to defend and the desire not to concede and I think the players showed that tonight from the first whistle, they wanted their funds back, they certainly got that tonight, a fantastic atmosphere and it drove them . for that win yeah yeah and big thanks to them because we needed it to be really easy sometimes when you're on the run fans can come into the stadium and feel nervous and um and feel that too.

They are expecting to lose but I never felt they were behind the team and it was a great night for them the weekend before Bournemouth and it's about building on this result, this performance, yes, yes, it's very important, we always feel it. that this run of games was going to give us the chance to get our footing back in the league again so it's a good start for us but there's a lot of work to do and now we can concentrate for Bournemouth.
