One of the symbols of British football.
English football was built by witty alcoholics
Britons born after World War II inherited the bad habits of their fathers. Thousands of island footballers had alcohol problems. Jamie Vardy could just as easily get drunk and lost. He didn’t have the stamina of a young Rooney, the right-footed passing of Beckham, the footballing anger of Gerard or the cunning touch of Lampard. Vardy didn’t have the subtlety of decisions like Paul Scholes. At the same time, at 38, the striker is still scoring goals nuclear submarine and plays for the team with which he won trophies.
Setting aside the hooligan novel, it is worth recognizing that in the Russian translation Vardi is a gopnik. Not as vile in actions and words as Artyom Dzyuba was, a poor copy of the Leicester striker from RPL. Vardy doesn’t have the talent of a ladies’ man like the bearded George Best-looking actor had. The Northern Irishman suffered a double whammy: alcoholism and constant association with women brought the legend together. Manchester United to the grave. Vardy has not battled a serious form of alcohol addiction, like the witty Gascoigne.
Jamie worked his way through the minor leagues. Vardy is definitely a fighter who can combine the will to win with the worst that is British. In England, on weekends, there are still places where drunk men hang out in the street. Like how young Jack Grealish spent his holidays in Spain. Friends laughed and took photos of the future Manchester City winger’s lifeless body. And after the Leicester championship, Vardy refused a transfer to one of the giants. Jamie accepted his role in the story nuclear submarine.
Yesterday, Jamie upset Tottenham again. In August I showed the logo to Spurs fans. nuclear submarine on the sleeve. He suggested that his modest club had a championship and that Tottenham had never won the championship since the reorganization. And when Jamie equalized in London, then the former striker’s team Manchester United Van Nistelrooy snatched victory. The Spurs again suffered without key defensive players. Leicester won their first victory in nuclear submarine after seven defeats and one draw. Vardy supported them again.
Veteran Vardy has championship character and skills
If Jamie had been a hard-working player who lived for football like Kane, he could have achieved more. But he remains a rock and roll footballer. In the past, Vardy’s diet included vodka and sweets. Silencing energy drinks. In my youth, I had to earn extra money to support myself. Vardy could be one of the hundreds of hooligans who didn’t survive. Instead, he played for England when he was younger. And also won trophies. That’s the difference between Jamie and Tottenham. Moreover, the difference is tragicomic.
While Spurs had no wins in official tournaments, striker Vardy managed to win the National League for Fleetwood and move up from the fifth division to the fourth. He moved to Leicester and won the English Championship with Ranieri. I managed to fly away nuclear submarine and came back. Vardy also owns the FA Cup and Super Cup. Jamie participated in the Champions League playoffs. A great career for a guy who was put under house arrest for six months and put on an ankle bracelet after a violent drunken brawl outside a bar.
Vardy’s wife worked at the nightclub where they met. Vardy had a child from a previous relationship. And now there are four heirs with Rebecca in the current marriage. Two daughters are natural and two sons are his wife’s children from a previous relationship. Jamie says he’s changed a bit over the years. But he still doesn’t like the gym and doesn’t care about the recommendations of doctors in Leicester. If Vardy wants a burger or pizza for dinner in front of the TV, he will order delicious food. The rules of other footballers do not suit him.
Vardy could have had his ass kicked early on at Leicester. The striker often showed up to training with a hangover. Sometimes he came drunk, because he spent the whole night in a nightclub. We must pay tribute to the patience of the mentors and bosses of the club. And when Vardy succeeded – he scored 16 Championship goals in his second season – it became easier. Victory in nuclear submarine it hasn’t changed much. Vardy, after making his fortune in the Asian billionaires club, was fined for insulting a rival in a casino, whom he called “Jap”.
Honest hooligans are a little nicer than hypocritical saints
It is not always practical to cross paths with someone who behaves the way Vardy does. The Gopniks are suitable for movie heroes, but they look like a company of petty thieves. Sooner or later Vardy will say or do something that a decent person won’t like. But Jamie doesn’t try to present himself as a smart or well-mannered guy. There’s something old school about honesty. It is much worse when a football player creates the image of a saint to cover up his vile behavior. A good example is Marcus Rashford of Manchester United.
The club invested money and effort in the striker and failed to receive the title after his decisive goals. At least Vardy is honest. And Rashford played the role of the saint, having fun in nightclubs. It’s clear that any coach wants to work with guys in Rodri’s style. Higher education, intelligent parents and decent behavior. Discipline, because the Manchester City midfielder doesn’t even have social networks. And this ouroboros has affected billions of people on the planet. Vardy has a page, but he mainly posts football photos there.
Or he is bragging about his daughter, who, in one of the photos, shows her father the middle finger. No testing needed, just like Vardy heiress. As an example of how you can go from the 100th league to the top, Jamie has already helped many fans believe in themselves. Of course, in the current recruitment system, it is difficult for a village team to join the team of future champions. But Vardy did it. And the example of Leicester inspires other clubs. Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest will not become champions, but will try to slip into European competition.
And Leicester must survive. There will be chances if Wolverhampton sell Cunha. The Brazilian is also a thug; he recently got into a fight with an Ipswich security guard. “Tractor drivers” are also on the list of fighters for survival. It is important for Leicester to get ahead of their two competitors and struggling Southampton. Vardy will help Van Nistelrooy until the end. And then Jamie could retire this summer. The teachers crossed themselves when they saw Vardy leaving the school. And now the millionaire has his own football academy, helping unlucky players turn professional.
