LEICESTER CITY STRIKER Jamie Vardy has revealed he plays Call of Duty instead of keeping up with the club’s Premier League rivals.
Vardy fired up the PlayStation last Wednesday rather than watching title contenders Arsenal and Tottenham in Premier League action in their respective games.
Leicester ended the weekend five points clear at the top of the table after Riyad Mahrez’s 15th Premier League goal of the season sealed a 1-0 win at Watford on Saturday.
I heard a lot of people saying the results on Wednesday night went in our favour, but I was playing Call Of Duty on the PlayStation,” he said.
“No-one gave us a chance at the start of the season.
“Everyone said we were relegation fodder and the pressure that we had was only until we knew we were safe. Now we’re just enjoying it.”
Claudio Ranieri recently told the media he rings an imaginary bell during training if he feels his players have lost concentration, but Vardy said the Italian’s unusual methods do not stop there.
He got us all a little present for Christmas and it was a bell — just a bell in a box,” the Premier League’s leading goalscorer revealed.
“We all opened it and the next thing we knew everyone was walking around the changing room ringing bells.
“It must be something for Claudio to have a laugh and joke about but it relaxes all the lads.
“Just like the team, he is enjoying himself.”
When your father is secretary of county board always going to be difficult to keep independent
Ya just get rid of Davy…
I think what Lohan meant to say was “You could get the likes of Ger Loughnane to chair that independent committee and give me the managers job”!!
a review is the least that is called for. Something just isn’t right and unless the air is completely cleared the team can’t function properly. And worse the fans Will desert them all bar the 5or so thousand that would follow them anywhere
The lads voting “no” are definitely from outside the county!!! They’ll want him in the job as long as possible; can’t blame em!!
the players should be asked they are the most important people involved in this not the onlookers from the stand
Independent to me would mean someone not involved at all, ie. outside of the county, doing the review. Then again is there anyone in the GAA considered ‘independent’ and everyone would agree on?
someone like Mickey Harte, Jimmy McGuinness – capable people with no real competitive interest with hurling teams.
