In the first round of the Premier League, Leicester City and the strong Tottenham Hotspur team shook hands with a score of 1-1, showing a tenacious fighting spirit and not bad athletic state. After the match, Leicester City's core striker Vardy was interviewed by the media, sharing his journey and insights on the game.
Vardy first expressed his views on age, emphasizing that age is just a number to him and will not be an obstacle for him to continue to ride the green field. He said confidently that as long as his physical condition allows, especially his legs are still in good shape, he will continue to enjoy the joy and challenges brought by soccer. In addition, Vardy also revealed the hiccup he encountered before the game - in a previous friendly, he had been maliciously fouled by an opposing player who tried to injure his right leg. Nonetheless, with tenacity and professionalism, he not only managed to persevere, but also completed four intense training sessions to be fully prepared for the game.
Talking about the game, Vardy said that the team had an in-depth discussion at halftime and realized the problem of too much respect for the Spurs. As a result, they decided to adopt a more proactive attacking strategy in the second half, a change that quickly turned the game around. Throughout the game, the team remained calm and focused, confident that if they did not concede any more goals, they would have a chance to take the victory away from their formidable opponents. In the end, Leicester City managed to take a point from Tottenham Hotspur with their resilience and team effort, setting a good foundation for the new season.
Vardy showed humor and open-mindedness regarding his interaction with the Tottenham fans during the game. He said that it was inevitable to receive some taunts in a heated game, but as long as the fans could accept his jokes back, then everything would not be a problem. This relaxed mindset not only reflects his professionalism as a player, but also shows the good interaction between him and the fans.
Finally, Vardy spoke about Leicester City's ambitions for the season. He firmly believes that anything is possible on the soccer field and that every game is a battle between 11 players. As long as the team can maintain their best form, they are confident to compete with any opponent. This kind of confidence and fighting spirit has definitely injected more confidence and expectation to the Leicester City fans.
