Leicester City’s Jamie Vardy: ‘On another day we get three points’

Jamie Vardy spoke passionately of the Brighton & Hove Albion game on Saturday; and played in the same manner. Returning to scoring and gaining an important Premier League point. He says Leicester City would have won on another day:

A point-a-piece was the outcome on Saturday, as Brighton & Hove Albion entertained Leicester City at the Amex Stadium. Glenn Murray hit the Foxes early in typical style – a header from a corner. James Maddison did his reputation harm by simulating a foul – diving in other words. He was sent off on 28 minutes.

Amazingly, 10-man Leicester City went close to winning the game. Dominating with the second-half introduction of forwards Jamie Vardy and Kelechi Iheanacho. The latter won a penalty, the former finished with aplomb. In speculation, the pair will begin the Watford Premier League game as a duo.

At the cost of hard-working but low-scoring Shinji Okazaki. Manager Claude Puel started the occasion with Okazaki as solo striker, an odd move as he is on single figures for finishes in total – for this and the last two seasons added together. However, Vardy was carrying a knock and his Nigerian teammate is not electrifying of late.

During a candid, ardently intense post-match interview, Vardy explained the team ethos and clear togetherness; Lcfc.com quote the former Three Lion:

"“I think it was a good point to get. Obviously, being down to 10 men and 1-0 down, you’ve seen how the lads have battled together and how we’ve taken it to Brighton even though we were reduced to 10 [men].“I think with that performance, especially in the second half, we definitely deserved it.“It’s just testament to all the boys and how close we are as a group. Everyone will run themselves into the ground for each other and that showed on the pitch.”“At the end we were the ones it looked like if anything we would win. We’ve dug in. On another day we would have got the three points. We’ll take a point, it’s a hard place to come.”– Jamie Vardy"

Consequently, to his positive impact and goal, it will be astonishing if Vardy does not begin the next premiership fixture versus the Hornets. The Foxes-fan-favourite is now likely to produce a scoring run to rival anything in previous years. It almost seems as though the 31-year-old feels he has something to prove, which is one takeaway from the emotionally charged chat. He does not: as a man or player. Adrenaline runs high as sport at this level concludes at full-time.

Recently, Leicester City went through a tragic disaster, as owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha’s helicopter crashed at the King Power Stadium following the West Ham game, on October 27. Awfully, the incident took the life of Khun Vichai and the other four passengers. It is incredible that the Foxes, and staff, can perform to any standard. Let alone, achieve what they have: five points from a possible nine since club catastrophe – losing the beloved chairman.

Southampton venture to the King Power Stadium on Tuesday, November 27. Claude Puel’s Leicester City side want to earn their Carabao Cup quarter-finals ticket for a rendezvous with the perennially impressive Manchester City.
