Enzo Maresca is about to face Leicester City in his first encounter with his former side on Saturday afternoon at the King Power Stadium. The Italian tactician led the Foxes to the Premier League promotion last season before opting to move to Chelsea.Now, it’s time to face off against many of his ex-players, including impeccable veteran Jamie Vardy. Football needs players like himThis will be Maresca’s reunion with the 37-year-old striker. And he was so full of praise for the experienced forward.”Vardy is fantastic and people don’t realise how good he is. I know that England has been quite lucky with strikers, like Harry Kane, Wayne Rooney and many others, but if you ask me he has been the best one,” said Maresca before explaining:”He can do many things, like run in behind and finish, but the best thing for me is his open mind. Last year, he changed the way he was playing by dropping in, linking the play and he still wants to learn. But of course he still has the one thing that is most difficult to find, which is to score goals.”He can be out for one week, without training, and play on Saturday or Sunday and he’s the one who scores.”##NAJAVA_MECA_8519595####EDITORS_CHOICE##On the other hand, Maresca is unsure how the Leicester suporters will react when they see him in the opposition ranks.”I have no idea how they are going to receive me, but I know how I am going to be with them,” added Maresca.”I will be thankful to the club, the players and the fans, because it was a fantastic season. But I cannot control how they are going to receive me.”ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 12Saturday15:30: (6.25) Leicester (4.40) Chelsea (1.57)18:00: (1.37) Arsenal (5.10) Nott.Forest (10.0)18:00: (1.63) Aston Villa (3.80) Crystal Palace (5.70)18:00: (2.40) Bournemouth (3.60) Brighton (3.00)18:00: (2.45) Everton (3.50) Brentford (3.05)18:00: (1.65) Fulham (3.70) Wolverhampton (5.60)20:30: (1.55) Man.City (4.20) Tottenham (5.90)Sunday17:00: (9.50) Southampton (5.90) Liverpool (1.28)19:30: (5.40) Ipswich (3.80) Man.Utd.
