Nigerian players always speak Pidgin English and I want to learn - Vardy - Mhiz Rebecca - 08-24-2017
England and Leicester City striker, Jamie Vardy, has
spoken about his admiration for 'Pidgin English' and
wants to learn how to speak as fluently as the Nigerian
players in his team.
Wilfred Ndidi, Kelechi Iheanacho, and Ahmed Musa are
all Nigerians who play with Vardy at the English club.
In a chat with TheCable NG, the football star said his
only setback is that he finds it hard to understand
when the Nigerians players are communicating in
Pidgin English.
'The Nigerian players keep talking- Pidgin English you
call it, right? It’s hard to understand. But I am trying to
learn it and speak it like they do.'
The striker described his Nigerian teammates as 'great
players.'
'They are great players. And as the team is trying to
improve, that is why they are brought to the club to
help us improve. So, it is left to them to work hard and
get on the playing field.'
James Vardy who helped Leicester City to secure
the Premier League trophy in 2016, scored 24 league
goals, to earn him the second highest scorer in the
Premier League for the 2015–16 season, behind Golden
Boot winner Harry Kane.
