Former Leicester City star, Dean Hammond has spoken out about the start to the season and how there is still room for improvement.
Hammond played for the Foxes between 2013 and 2016. He played a part as promotion back to the Premier League was secured.
He made 41 appearances before being loaned out to Sheffield United as a historic Premier League title was secured.
Following this loan spell, he joined the Blades on a permanent deal but never made another senior appearance.
The Englishman returned to City in 2017. He featured for the under-21s side while also taking up a role in the coaching setup.
What has Dean Hammond said?
While speaking on the When You’re Smiling podcast, the ex-midfielder has praised Enzo Maresca for the start to the season.
In spite of the great start, Hammond believes they will improve: “Just keeping evolving because the team is playing so well. Look at the results, it has been fantastic.”
With 10 wins from a possible 11, it has been a dream start to life for the new Italian coach.
Discussing the strategy he has employed, former Fox said: “It seems that he wants a connection with the players and for that to be really strong.
“It gives you that opportunity without the pressure of games and having to prepare for games.”
With plenty of rotation this season, and a lack of complaints from within the squad, the connection is clearly strong.
The start that has been made by Maresca’s side has been top-class. If Hammond is right, it is only going to get better.
