Jamie Vardy Still Short Of Words

Jamie Vardy Still Short Of Words

Leicester have been champions for a week following Tottenham's draw on April 2, and they were finally able to lift the trophy on Saturday after beating Everton.

In an interview with ESPN FC, Vardy was asked how to sum Leicester's feat, but Vardy said: "You can't. It's hard to explain.

"Obviously no one expected us to get a shot at the trophy and we've just kept going all season and made that come to reality. But trying to put that into words is very hard.

"Seeing Wes and the boss (Claudio Ranieri) lift the trophy and then it getting passed around to each of the guys to hold themselves before the lap of honour, To try to put it into words is massively hard to do."

He says. "Everyone obviously knows where I've come from to where I am now, so it took a lot of hard work, but for me personally, it's a massive achievement,. "And for the whole guys in the dressing room as well, it's brilliant for them.

Leicester were 5,000-1 shots to win the title this season, and though the odds will be significantly smaller next season, Vardy said Leicester aren't yet finished winning.

Asked about Leicester's chances to repeat their feat a year from now, Vardy said: "We're hoping so. With the guys that we've got, everyone's close together and we fight for each other so who's to say it won't?"

The Foxes' title also secured them one of the top eight seeds in the Champions League next season, and Vardy said he doesn't think the team will have to change anything to have similar success in Europe.

Leicester have one more game this weekend, with Vardy tied for second on 24 goals with Man City's Sergio Aguero and one behind leader Harry Kane of Tottenham. But despite the game at Chelsea not meaning anything for the table, Vardy said he's still looking to win first.

"It will be nice but the main thing is for Leicester to keep trying to have that winning mentality, so we'll go into Chelsea trying to win, "And if I don't score and we win, that's how it's going to finish."

"I found it quite hilarious traveling to the game on Saturday, someone had a Leicester shirt with '10 Hazard' on the back, which was quite funny to see," he said.
