""You must be one of the doubters, and you're one that I'll have to prove wrong," Vardy snapped back. "Now, listen, for me, age is just a number. ... As long as my legs are still doing exactly what they used to and still feel as fresh as they do, then I will carry on. "At the moment, there's no signs of them slowing down.""
""Just looking in his eyes and seeing what he wanted, that really resonated with myself and I think as a footballer it's always nice to feel wanted," Vardy said. "Having sat down with the manager and the owner, the main task is making sure we stay in the league. And if I'm honest, that's how it was when I was at Leicester.""
Jamie Vardy completed a move to Serie A side Cremonese and made clear intent to prove doubters wrong as he nears 40. He dismissed concerns about slowing down, insisting age is just a number and that his legs still feel as fresh as before. Vardy said a long Zoom call with coach Davide Nicola convinced him to join, noting Nicola's experience keeping teams in the top division and the importance of feeling wanted. Vardy stated the primary objective is to keep Cremonese in the league, drawing parallels with survival priorities during his time at Leicester, where he also led a historic title run and an 11-game scoring streak.
