Chris Weale says Leicester City's players love Paulo Sousa's attacking style
Goalkeeper Chris Weale says the Leicester City players have fully bought into new manager Paulo Sousa's attacking philosophy.
City hit the goal trail in their final pre-season friendly of their pre-season tour of Slovenia last night, and Weale said the entire squad had embraced Sousa style of possession football.

The former Portugal international has asked for City to play a more continental, attacking brand of football, and Weale said the players were thoroughly enjoying the experience.
"It has been a great experience out here and the players have really enjoyed it," he said.
"Everyone is really excited about the season ahead.
"We have had about 10 football sessions with him now and everyone is getting used to how the manager wants us to play. It is exciting football and everyone is getting to grips with it now. "It is the way football should work and, as a goalkeeper, I have two roles.
"The first is obviously to keep the ball out of the net but I also have the offensive side of it as well.
"I have learned so much from the manager already."
City beat Slovenian side NK Aluminiji 5-2 last night after another testing and valuable work-out close to their Maribor base.
Steve Howard scored twice and DJ Campbell netted for the second consecutive game as City hit back from a goal down to earn their first victory under Sousa.
Matty Fryatt went on in the second half to add another and trialist Leon Crncic wrapped up the victory.
Sousa named a strong starting line-up with Nicky Adams being used as a right back in an experimental back four, while Howard partnered Campbell in attack.
Weale said it was a valuable work-out.
"It was quite an interesting opposition we played because they kept the ball very well and it was a very good work-out," Weale added.
"And it was good to get a lot of goals."
City are set to fly home tomorrow and will continue their pre-season preparations at the Don Valley Stadium on Tuesday against Rotherham, but Weale said it had been a valuable experience.
"Everyone is positive and looking forward to getting back to England," he said.
"We still have some pre-season games to go and everyone is fit, and looking forward to playing the way the manager wants us to play. We are really looking forward to the start of the season now."
City's other trialists, Montenegro international Elsad Zverotic and Israeli defender Nir Mansour, were not involved as City have decided not to continue their trials,
But Paul Gallagher did play after being rested from their first game as a precaution.
