Miracle icon Jamie Vardy (38) leaves Leicester City.
It is no exaggeration to say that Vardy is the best player in Leicester's history. Not many people knew Vardy's existence when he left Fleetwood Town to wear Leicester's uniform in the summer of 2012. As most have done, he thought he would be one of the players who will be forgotten after advancing to the top leagues.
Vardy, who joined Leicester for a transfer fee of 1 million pounds (about 1.9 billion won), has marked a milestone in the history of the sport for 13 years. Having led the team to the 2013/14 Football League Championship (currently the English Football League Championship), Vardy made his Premier League debut in the 2014/15 season (hereinafter referred to as the PL), and garnered worldwide attention by winning a truly fairytale championship in the 2015/16 season.
At that time, Leicester's probability of winning the championship, which was predicted by the soccer statistics media, was "one in five thousand." Vardy changed the impossibility into the possibility, and the story like a drama resonated with many people. Since then, Vardy has shared many honors, including the 2019/20 PL top scorer and the 2020/21 English Football Association (FA) Cup.
Vardy, who was even jokingly told, "What if I were just n years younger," is now in her 40s. Leicester also confirmed its relegation from the PL this season without any past glory. However, more heartbreaking news for Leicester fans than the relegation was that Vardy would leave the team after completing his 13-year companionship. 메이저놀이터
Leicester said on its official website on the 24th (Korea time), "Vardy, who has become Leicester's best player of all time, will say goodbye to his home fans. His last home game will be against Ipswich Town on the 18th of next month," and announced, "The club will deeply thank Vardy, who is leaving the team as a truly great person ahead of the Ipswich match."
"Body is a special being that sits in everyone's mind related to Leicester," said Aiyawat Siwattanaprapa. "The time to be with us as players is coming to an end, but we will welcome him and his family with open arms on the day they return to King Power Stadium someday," he said. "I wish Vardy good luck on behalf of everyone in the club."
On the same day, Vardy also said goodbye on her social networking service. "It was hard to decide as long as I played in Leicester. Leicester is the second house I have dedicated 13 years of my life to, he said, adding, "The city, the club, and people will all remain a great meaning to my family."
