Wayne Rooney and Harry Kane are two of the most renowned football players in England, known for their impressive goal-scoring abilities. Their skills have been recognized and praised by many, including Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca. However, as Leicester City prepares to welcome back their veteran striker Jamie Vardy, Maresca cannot help but heap praises on him as well.
Vardy, who played a pivotal role in Leicester's promotion campaign last season, is still going strong at the age of 37. Maresca believes that Vardy is even more talented than the two top goal scorers in England - Kane and Rooney. "People often underestimate just how good he is," Maresca states. "England has been lucky to have players like Kane and Rooney, who are truly fantastic strikers. But, in my opinion, Jamie is the best one."
Maresca also reveals that Vardy knows how to have a good time, despite his age. The striker was famously known for hosting an impromptu party at his house to celebrate Leicester's unexpected Premier League success in 2016. However, last season, the players turned up unannounced at Maresca's house at 2am to continue their celebrations. "It was the best gift I received last season," Maresca reminisces. "All the players showed up at my house, which just goes to show the strong connection and camaraderie within the team."
Similarly, when Leicester found out they were promoted after a loss by Leeds, the players and staff celebrated together at Maresca's house. "They didn't even knock on the door, they were in the garden and knocked on the window," Maresca recalls fondly. "It was a beautiful moment that truly showcased the bond between the players and staff."
As a former player himself, Maresca reflects on how he never thought to go to his manager's house to celebrate a victory. But with this Leicester team, it is different - they truly feel like a family. "I am grateful for this team and the special moments we have shared," Maresca concludes. "They have shown me the true meaning of a team and I will always be thankful for them."
