AdminRussell Martin has praised Admir for the gesture he made after scoring, revealing the Leicester City forward wanted to share the moment with his team-mates but also took time to show his support for the manager.
Admir celebrated his goal with plenty of emotion, but rather than simply joining the rest of the players, he made his way towards Martin and gave him a hug.
For Martin, the moment carried plenty of meaning as Leicester continue their efforts to build momentum and develop a stronger connection between the squad and the coaching staff.
The manager admitted he appreciated the gesture, particularly because it showed the player’s support for what the team are trying to achieve together.
‘Bless him, I think he wanted the lads to come over and celebrate with him, but he wanted to give me a hug in support of me and what we’re trying to do, which I’m really grateful for’
The celebration offered another glimpse of the relationship developing inside the Leicester dressing room, with Martin clearly encouraged by the players’ response.
Admir’s decision to acknowledge his manager immediately after finding the net was also a significant moment for a side looking to put recent frustrations behind them.
Martin will now hope the goal and the reaction that followed can provide another boost as Leicester continue their campaign and look to build consistency in the weeks ahead.
