In an intriguing twist, Van Nistelrooy’s first day as Leicester’s manager coincides with a long-standing anecdote involving Jamie Vardy. Nine years ago, Vardy surpassed Van Nistelrooy’s record for goals scored in consecutive Premier League matches, achieving 11 in a row. This milestone was a topic of light-hearted conversation when the two met recently.
“It’s a problem, of course, that he broke my record,” Van Nistelrooy remarked with a smile, emphasizing the friendly rapport he’s established with Vardy. He acknowledged that Vardy’s achievement, celebrated on social media, marked a significant moment in both their careers.
Now, Van Nistelrooy looks to Vardy, who at 37 is still a key player, to help guide Leicester out of the relegation zone, with the team currently sitting in 16th place, just one point above danger. Vardy has continued to deliver for the Foxes, matching the team’s top goal tally this season.
Van Nistelrooy’s recent hire brings renewed hope for Leicester City fans following a disappointing 4-1 defeat against Brentford. His track record and ability to motivate seasoned players like Vardy suggest that brighter days could be ahead for the club.
As Leicester gears up for this pivotal match against West Ham, fans are optimistic about what lies ahead under Van Nistelrooy’s guidance. With a blend of experience and fresh leadership, there is a sense that the team can turn their fortunes around in the league.
