Leicester City have suffered serious injuries this season, such as Jamie Vardy, Wilfred Endedy and a squad of defenders who have rotated injuries. Under the wounded battalion, the Blue Fox has a rise of their own youth, he is the protagonist of this article, Kiernan Dieusbury-Hall.
The 23-year-old Kilnan Dieusbury Hall is Leicester City's youth training product, and since 2006, when he was seven years old, he joined the team's youth training system, and is the "root of the red" Leicester City youth training. In 2017, he signed a professional contract with the team, and in 2019 won the award of development squad player of the year, and his performance gradually gained recognition within the team. In January 2020, he scored his first match against Brentford in the FA Cup with substitute Kelechi Iheanacho. A few days after his debut, he was loaned by the team to Blackpool in League One to gain experience in the lower divisions.
At Blackpool, Kiernan Dieusbury Hall quickly gained a foothold in the team, delivering four goals and one assist in 10 games and one goal in his opening game. This allowed him to borrow from Championship side Luton Town last season to hone his skills at a higher level. In luton's season, Kiernan Dieusbury Hall's performance was more mature, with a total of 40 playing opportunities throughout the season, and he delivered three goals and six assists in midfield, which was quite good. At the end of the season, he won four team awards as an expatriate player, including the Players' Player of the Season voted by the players, and it is rare for a loanee to win the best in the team.
Because of his impressive performance during the loan period, Kirnan Dieusbury Hall was retained by manager Rogers this season and became the team's main midfielder with injuries in the face of a large number of soldiers. Because of Yuri Tillermans' unstable performance, Kirnan Dieusbury Hall in midfield had to play a role in both offensive and defensive conversions, and as a result, he also lived up to his promise, playing 33 games in all competitions, delivering three goals and two assists, including one goal and one assist in the Premier League match against Crystal Palace.
Kiernan Dieusbury Hall is not tall, but the confrontation is quite good, and his running power and sweeping power can also provide a barrier for the team's midfield. At the same time, his slacking, passing steering, and long-range shooting feet are also very good, and he is a fairly versatile midfielder. This season, Leicester City manager Rodgers praised his performance even more: "Since the return of Kiernan Dieusbury Hall, he has provided the team with all the elements I need; as an eighth position, his job is to create opportunities and get off the ground. In the game (against Crystal Palace), his first foot transmission and shot are very advanced, and there is no doubt that he will be an important puzzle for the team. "If we can continue to maintain a good standard, Kiernan Dieusbury Hall may be able to enter the eyes of Three Lions coach Southgate before the World Cup and become England's all the way."
