Cremonese, Vardy unveiled: “Ready to fight for survival and prove my worth” | OneFootball

Jamie Vardy, the new face of Cremonese after the surprising final market move, introduced himself today at a press conference in Cremona, sharing his first impressions and expectations for this new adventure in Serie A.

Cremonese, Vardy the leader: “Wearing this jersey excites me, we will fight every minute for survival”

“When the opportunity to come here arose, I considered various aspects, especially those related to my family,” Vardy explained. “Technology helped us stay in touch, and I spoke with the coach, who conveyed great passion to me. Now my goal is to be ready when the coach needs me.” The first days in the city have been intense and engaging: “It has been fantastic so far. The city is lively, very different from how it was described to me. I had the chance to explore a bit, meet the fans, and climb the Torrazzo. The language is still a barrier, but football is a universal language.”

Vardy drew parallels with his experience at Leicester: “With the ownership and coach Nicola, I immediately understood that the main goal is survival. At Leicester, we worked with the same spirit, always trying to give our best in every match. In football, anyone can beat anyone.”

Regarding his debut, the forward commented: “I am training to the fullest, and returning with the team, I feel almost at my best. The decision will be up to the coach.” On the family front, Vardy shared: “I told my children that we would be moving abroad, and they are excited. They will arrive later due to the visa, but we are all happy for this new experience.” Finally, on Vialli's legacy and the connection with Serie A: “Wearing this jersey excites me. I want to show why I am here, fight every minute with my teammates, and give my all to achieve survival. It is a long but stimulating challenge, and I want to prove the doubters wrong.”
