Captain of 'Cremonese': 'We have Vardy, but let’s leave comparisons with 'Leicester' aside'

The captain of 'Cremonese', Federico Baschirotto, does not hide his admiration for the team’s newcomer, Jamie Vardy. 'Cremonese' started the season brilliantly, gaining 14 points in nine matches of the Italian championship. In the next round, Davide Nicola’s team will face 'Juventus'.

’He is a champion on the field, but especially off it. He shows us the way by example. When I met him, I told him that I followed 'Leicester’s' title fight when I was younger.

We have Vardy, but let’s leave comparisons with 'Leicester' aside and only think about ourselves.

I don’t look at the table. 'Juventus' is a great team, but we are aware of what we need: humility, respect, but not fear. We are increasingly aware of our potential. So I think about winning. Of course, it’s difficult, but we don’t lack determination,' cites Baschirotto Football Italia.
