Jamie Vardy, the Leicester City legend, is hoping to make his first start for Cremonese in their Serie A clash against Udinese. After joining the newly promoted side, Vardy has made two appearances off the bench but is yet to find the back of the net for the Grigiorossi.
Cremonese director Simone Giacchetta expressed the club's excitement at signing Vardy, highlighting his humility and knowledge of the club. "The market offers millions of options, but Vardy fascinated us all, for his ability, for what he did in the Premier League and for his history, given that he was a factory worker at 25," Giacchetta told TMW.
The 38-year-old former England international aims to help Cremonese consolidate their 10th place in the Serie A table. They face a Udinese side currently sitting in 12th position, making it a crucial match for both teams.
Giacchetta added, "The first contacts were positive, and we found great humility and knowledge of Cremonese. He knew exactly who we are and the type of season we expected. His availability to talk to us and his eventual decision to accept the offer truly pleased us because Vardy does not need Cremonese or to fight for survival."
Vardy's decision to join Cremonese has been seen as a significant coup for the club, and fans are eager to see him make his mark in Serie A. Will this be the game where he finally gets his first start and potentially opens his account for Cremonese?
