Leicester to win the Premier League
Hey everyone ! I hope you are well, already the end of the semester !
It is indeed the end of the semester for us, students but also for others like football teams. Today we'll talk about the Premier League, won by Claudio Ranieri's Leicester.
Leicester is an historic champion and what they accomplished this season is a true sport exploit. For a team which is not a Premier League regular, winning the league is almost a miracle. In matter of fact the english Premier League is for many the hardest championship because it has many great clubs. For instance, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool or even Tottenham.
They were crowned 2 days before the end of the season, they managed to realise this with a very low budget and the players they had at the beginning of the season were far from being the most valuable players in England.
Yet with players who proved their astonishing potential, Leicester managed to keep the lead almost all year long.
3 iconic players
When thinking of Leicester 3 players are normally coming up to our minds, Jamie Vardy the goalscorer, Riyad Mahrez and Ngolo Kanté.
Jamie Vardy:
Jamie Vardy is the goalscorer of Leicester football club, this season he managed to score 24 times and he even outskilled the great Ruud van Nistelrooy by scoring for 10 games in a row !
According to Tranfermarkt, we can see that Jamie Vardy's value over the season skyrocketed.
He has been in touch with Arsenal, and has signed a new contract with the gunners, the transfer was estimated 20 million £.
Riyad Mahrez:
Riyad Mahrez is with no doubts another protagonist of Leicester's amazing season.
The growth of his value is also astonishing, two famous clubs are interested by his profile, the first is Barcelona and the second is once again Arsenal, well decided to plunder the Champions' golden boys.
Yet Leicester wants to keep his player, already searching an alternative to the departure of Vardy to Arsenal, another departure such as the one of Mahrez would be difficult for the club.
Ngolo Kanté:
He is the third iconic player of Leicester this season ! Through the season he has proved that he was a strong midfielder, hard to pass through with great skills.
Many clubs in Europe want him in their team, yet in despite of the interest of great clubs it is more than likely that we will see him at Leicester next season.
"I am happy to stay at Leicester."
In my opinion Claudio Ranieri and his staff are going to have a very stressful summer with many offers for their greatest players.
Will they be able to reiterate the exploit of winning the league twice in a row ? The last club that has made it was Manchester united 8 years ago.
