Vardy scores first goal in Serie A

Vardy finally shines in Serie A.

In the 78th minute, the veteran English striker broke free and scored decisively to open the score for Cremonese. Vardy could not hide his happiness when scoring his first goal in Serie A. However, his joy was somewhat overshadowed by regret when his team could not keep all three points, as Atalanta then equalized 1-1 in the 84th minute.

At 38, the former Leicester City star has continued to show impressive form and incredible adaptability in Italy's top flight. This goal not only marked a personal milestone but also demonstrated the mettle of a veteran who has made history in the Premier League.

“I was really happy to score the first goal. But when we took the lead so late on, I was a bit disappointed that we didn’t win,” Vardy told Sky Sport after the match.

To celebrate, Vardy performed a beautiful santo, dispelling any doubts about his fitness at the age of 38. When asked about the differences between English football and Serie A, Vardy did not hesitate to point out the characteristics: "Serie A is more tactical and focuses on ball control. Meanwhile, the Premier League is a place of high intensity, fast pace, and frequent back-and-forth play."

Vardy is still going strong at 38.

"Here, you have more time with the ball, but you have to make sure you get into the right position. Football is football anyway. Every week it's 11 vs 11, and any team can beat the opponent," he analyzed.

Vardy’s adaptation is not limited to the professional aspect. He is also trying to learn Italian to better integrate into the new environment. “I am trying to learn Italian. My children will definitely tease me if I speak it wrong!” Vardy humorously shared.

Although Cremonese could not win against Atalanta, Vardy's goal was a positive signal for the rookie team. After 8 rounds, Cremonese won 11 points, lost only 1 match and is the big surprise of Serie A this season.
