Wilfred Ndidi picked an unlikely moment to deliver one of his best performances of the season, silently.
The Leicester City midfielder reflected on a game that stood out not for goals or trophies, but for personal triumph.
Speaking to Showmax, the Nigerian revealed that his standout match was the 2-2 away draw against Crystal Palace. On the surface, it was an ordinary result in a difficult season for the Foxes, but for Ndidi, it was a deeply personal win.
“I would say the Crystal Palace game away. We drew 2-2 and I got two assists. I was muted the whole game, like, muted before the game. I didn’t speak to anyone. I didn’t want to speak to anyone. I was just going through some things and then I went in the game and I had two assists. That was a good game,” Ndidi said.
Leicester City, Premier League champions in 2016, ended the season relegated to the Championship. Ndidi featured 27 times, providing four assists, two of them in the game he’ll never forget.
