The question is though how does this differ to what other teams do every year?<p>Many, many teams have played counter attacking football and not done nearly as well. Ranieri himself, even until very recently, said the target was 40 points.<p>I purposely never said that Leicester&#x27;s success is luck or a fluke. The point I raise is that how can we begin to unpack their success? For every point in their favour this season, there are many examples of teams who have adapted very similar policies.<p>Counter attacking, ball-winning indefatigable midfielders, pacey strikers, treating the players with a caring hand, scouting for players in the lower French leagues, thoughtful managers, creative wingers, colossal centre backs – these are old tricks.<p>What lessons can we take from this success? Arguably, none.
