Jamie Vardy still winning awards, acclaim at Leicester
With age Jamie Vardy seems to be refining his game, as opposed to simply improving. The accolades, awards and praise he receives is abundant, as explained here.
This campaign, in infant stages it may be, is proving to be thrilling and equally productive for Leicester City. Brendan Rodgers is running the show as manager. His acumen is seemingly a perfect fit for the Foxes. Time will tell if that yields fruit – or cups and European tours – though the omens are favourable at present.
Rodgers appears to have a pragmatist’s approach to the game. Some onlookers thought he may embody a boss with a heavy ego when arriving on Filbert Way. Yet he is a man who puts the team before his pride or personal preferences as well as his profile.
One of the key players who have blossomed, so to speak, is 32-year-old Jamie Vardy. Even at his veteran age for a footballer, the former-England forward has thrived and may now be using his brain more adroitly. Obviously pace, energy and, for some, hunger fades. Not with Vardy: he is as viral and ravenous for goals, wins and progress as ever.
