In the first round of the Premier League, Porro opened the scoring, Vardy equalized, and Leicester City finally drew 1-1 with Tottenham at home. After the game, 37-year-old Vardy was interviewed by the media.
Vardy said: “We had a brief chat at half-time. Tottenham are a really strong team, but we were too respectful towards them at the start. Then we started attacking more, and the tempo of the game changed. We said that when the game reached 40 minutes, we had to make sure we didn’t concede again. Now we have this point and we move on.”
When asked about his physical condition, Vardy said: “To be honest, I was still feeling very good and energetic until about 65 minutes. I wouldn’t say my way of playing was significantly different in the game. Maybe I adjusted a little bit, dropped back a bit more, but I think it’s mainly about taking the best care of myself in terms of recovery.”
“I just treat my age as a number. As long as I keep taking care of myself, as long as my legs feel good, I will continue to play for as long as possible.”
Speaking about his banter with Tottenham fans when he was substituted, Vardy said: “You get some stick during the game. As long as they can take my banter back, then it’s fine.”
When asked about Leicester City’s Premier League goals, Vardy said: “I can only say that when we are at our best, we can compete with any team.”
