Jamie Vardy, the football legend, is living the Italian dream, and it includes…his beloved breakfast!
Cremonese's gaffer, Davide Nicola, isn't messing around with tradition. He's given the green light to Vardy's unique dietary needs, adapting the team's meal plan to keep the striker happy and firing on all cylinders.
Word on the street (and the pitch) is that Vardy's go-to brekkie is a cheese and ham omelette, hold the small talk, extra beans!
And get this: Nicola's decision to cater to individual tastes seems to be paying off big time. Vardy bagged a brace in Cremonese's recent 3-1 victory over Bologna, silencing any doubters who thought his culinary quirks were a liability.
Those two goals weren't just flukes, either. They were Vardy's third and fourth of the season, propelling Cremonese up to 11th place and leaving their Champions League-chasing rivals in the dust.
This scoring spree marks a major turnaround for Vardy, who has found the net four times in the last five weeks, ending a frustrating three-match losing streak for the team.
For Nicola, Vardy's food preferences aren't a problem; they're a sign of a champion. He proudly announced that the team now has "individualised breakfasts and lunches."
“There is no longer a single menu for everyone," Nicola stated, emphasizing the importance of respecting diverse needs, cultures, and allergies.
He added that each player now enjoys a personalized menu, eliminating the need for constant monitoring because it's simply part of their lifestyle.
Nicola gushed, “Jamie is a point of reference for us."
He continued, "As a coach, I can only say that great champions are incredibly simple people. They already know what they must do and how they must do it."
According to Nicola, true champions possess immense talent, unwavering spirit, and a keen awareness of what they represent, always maintaining a constructive attitude.
“A true champion never gets his attitude wrong. He’s very self-confident and light-hearted, someone who always trains," he elaborated.
Vardy, he says, arrived with a "mentality of making himself available," adapting his habits for the good of the team.
After his contract with Leicester ended last summer, some wondered if Vardy's best days were behind him. But at 38, he's proving the naysayers wrong, clocking in 90 minutes for most games and becoming a vital cog in Cremonese's machine.
With a staggering 145 Premier League goals, over 300 appearances, and 26 international caps, Vardy's unorthodox methods have undeniably yielded results throughout his storied career.
And let's not forget the man's dedication to double espressos and energy drinks. Hey, whatever fuels the fire, right?
Despite his unconventional fuel, Vardy remains in top physical condition, proving that age is just a number.
His influence is even rubbing off on his teammates, with Red Bulls making appearances on the bench during his debut game – talk about setting a trend!
Nicola concluded, "A player like him must be understood in his habits and integrated in the best way. The Cremonese group welcomed Vardy with great privilege."
It's a testament to the team's spirit that they've embraced Vardy's quirks, and in return, Vardy is proving to be "a great man in every aspect."
