Brendan Rodgers, manager of Leicester City maintained that behind his side’s Europa League exit to Slavia Prague there was a lack of intensity.
After a goalless draw in the first leg, the Foxes were favourites to advance from their last-32 tie with Slavia Prague but succumbed to a 2-0 defeat at Thursday’s King Power Stadium.
As his own poor record in the competition’s knockout stage continued, Brendan Rodgers blamed deficiencies in pace, imagination, and consistency for Leicester City’s Europa League exit.
“We didn’t create enough over two legs. That’s the reality,” Rodgers told BT Sport. “We didn’t defend with any intensity. We gave away two disappointing goals.”
“We got into some good areas but lacked quality when we arrived in them. We started pretty well and exploited some spaces behind, but we didn’t have enough quality to break them down.”
“Before this game, we were in three competitions and we wanted to give it our all. We know where our priorities are and now, we’ll do our very best. We just lacked intensity and quality.”
