Leicester City manager Ruud van Nistelrooy praised Wilfred Ndidi for his outstanding display in the team’s hard-fought 3-1 victory over West Ham United at the King Power Stadium on Tuesday.
The Dutchman marked an ideal start to his tenure with the convincing win, and Ndidi’s commanding performance in midfield was a key highlight.
Speaking after the match, Van Nistelrooy commended the Nigerian international for his exceptional contribution to the team’s success.
“Soumaré and Ndidi had an unbelievable game, covering a lot of distance, winning a lot of balls in duels and second balls and also on the ball,” the Dutchman told the club’s official website.
“We realise how good the Premier League is and the performances we have to put in to get results.
“The foundation of that togetherness and hunger to achieve something is shown today.
“That reflected in the stands and only gives the players more spirit. That was the biggest win from today. It’s something that is vital. That confidence is so important in football.”
