“Sorry to end the season on such a shit scenario”

“At this point, I don't even know what to say. No word can express my anger and sadness in the face of how this season took place. There is no excuse. Collectively, as players and as a club, we failed. There is simply no secret, and I refuse to train any hypothesis by doing this ”wrote the English international on the social network Xformerly Twitter.

“After playing in this club for so long, with so much success and strong moments, this season has been miserable and, for me personally, a total shame. It hurts, and I know you feel it too. To the supporters: I'm sorry. Sorry for not having been up to par, and sorry to finish the 2025 season on such a shit scenario “concluded Vardy, author of 8 goals and 3 assists in 33 games.
