Youri Tielemans in negative Aston Villa talk as he became the face of downfall resulting in Brendan Rodgers losing his job
Youri Tielemans was signed by Leicester in the summer of 2019, after spending time on loan in the prior season, seeing the man bringing him in, Claude Puel, being sacked, but still became the answer for Brendan Rodgers, who build a massive foundation, giving Youri Tielemans a pivotal role.
Leicester managed 5th positions in Premier League in the next two seasons as well as winning the FA Cup trophy, but that was not enough for the promising Belgium international, being ready for the Arsenal’s, Real Madrid’s, Man Utd’s and Liverpool’s, all being linked with the brilliant and skilled midfielder.
Brendan Rodgers wished to build further on his squad and establish Leicester as a settled Cahmpions League qualifier, seeing his team playing in Europe for two consecutive seasons, but as the club experienced after the Premier League success, players have other ideas and dreams, as impatient agents are eager to cash in on their clients, and with that said, pushing managers, recrutiment teams and chairmen, that trusted them, under the buss.
James Maddison and Youri Tielemans were both offered massive deals to stay on at Leicester, but with their declines of those proposals, you will see massive energy losses and confidence fall in the establishment around them, as they in a very selfish way, demanding a certain treatment and are slowly destroying harmony and a positive atmosphere.
As a manager to see players behave in this way makes it difficult to bring further success to the house and often the best managers will be in difficulties and you get the headlines “losing the dressing room” as a headline.
Players signed and not in balance with their own belief, will often be poison to a club and a dressing room, and if you start to bring in too many of that type and still continue to overlook them, you will get in trouble and start a route that will affect you as a manager and you will also see those players being far from what they were when you signed them as their life of negative thoughts, losing out of regular first team football and being left out, will irritate and slowly see a decline, even more serious than getting injured as the psychological aspect often will tap out energy and self confidence.
Brendan Rodgers wanted to build his team, going forward, on James Maddison and Youri Tielemans, but they did see themselves in other waters not really being satisfied winning FA Cup’s, getting into to Europe as the best they could achieve.
In the past some moves away from Leicester can turn out as positive, others have experienced the total opposite. Sadly for a fan of this football club you see them all, agent driven or not, you can end up at places you would believe was far from what expected as Youri Tielemans would probably not have considered a move to Aston Villa when he declined to sign a new deal at Leicester.
