Player claims to have joined a “dysfunctional” Leicester City team, expresses disappointment at Maresca 

Victor Kristiansen of Leicester City has had a “hectic” year, according to Ekstra Bladet.

The 20-year-old made 12 league appearances for the Foxes in the second half of the previous season after leaving FC Copenhagen to join them in January.

Following Leicester’s Premier League relegation the previous season, the left-back was granted permission to sign a loan with Bologna during the summer transfer window.

This season, Enzo Maresca assumed management of the team, and according to reports, the manager intended to turn the Denmark international into a center back. The defender was not amused by this, and it helped persuade him to temporarily transfer to Bologna.

“This summer at training camp, I became aware of the position change, but I missed playing in the offensive line of play. He told Ekstra Bladet, “I was therefore pleased that we could work together to find a solution.

When the defender joined Leicester, Brendan Rodgers was the team’s manager.
He spent time at Copenhagen before moving to England. Regarding his choice to relocate to Leicester, Kristiansen said, “It has been difficult. I think my experience traveling overseas was the most difficult.

“Under duress, I joined a dysfunctional team whose coach was fired [in April]. As a young, recently acquired player, I found myself in a challenging situation where I had to step in and save the team.

“I was by myself and briefly wondered if living overseas truly felt like this. It was difficult to handle, and it left the soul with some scars. When I went out, it was definitely not what I was expecting. I was therefore relieved that we were able to come up with a solution this summer and that I was sent to Bologna on loan.

This season, the Dane has made ten appearances for the Serie A team, where he has the option to extend his stay. The player, who is owned by Leicester, is still hoping to play for Bologna next season.

“I have settled in very well at Bologna and hope that we will find a good solution next summer,” he added.
