Steve Cooper recently made a pretty impressive admission about Jamie Vardy. Without a doubt, Leicester City fans will love this one.
Leicester City fans are feeling pretty confident. They have seen their side win the last two games, setting themselves some good momentum for the matches ahead.
Steve Cooper didn't have the best start to life in Leicester. He was always tainted with the Nottingham Forest brush anyway, so this didn't help him win over the King Power faithful.
However, Steve Cooper is beginning to win over fans a lot more in recent weeks. Certainly, his recent comments about Leicester legend Jamie Vardy will bring him closer to the fanbase.
Leicester City fans will love Steve Cooper’s Jamie Vardy admission
Speaking to the media after Jamie Vardy scored a penalty, Steve Cooper said it's been an absolute pleasure to work with the striker. In fact, Vardy is everything Cooper imagined and more.
In his own words, Cooper said: “If I could bottle what he’s got, I’d be extremely rich, I promise you. We’re really enjoying working with him, working together with his programme and respecting where he’s at. He just seems really hungry."
Then, Cooper added: “We’ve still got the guy who can score the goals. I can’t speak highly enough of him. And it’s just great to see how enthusiastic he still is. I’ve just seen it for years on the TV. But we really enjoy working with him. He’s a brilliant role model."
Leicester City has not created too many chances this season. However, it is not creating chances which wins you games, it's finishing chances.
Jamie Vardy is the epitome of this. He has already scored three Premier League goals this season, despite not being fed as many opportunities as he was in other Premier League seasons.
Nobody needs reminding of how great Jamie Vardy is. While he might have lost a yard of pace with his age, he is still one of the best strikers in the Premier League.
Jamie Vardy is a true hard worker. He is never the type to throw his toys out of the pram and instead, he will work tirelessly to change his side's fortunes. This is why Leicester have become the club they are now, with him leading the line.
If Jamie Vardy and Steve Cooper continue their great relationship, Leicester City could reap all of the rewards for the rest of the season.
