If they get 3 points at MU tomorrow night, Leicester's history will turn a new page with the Premier League championship. They will not only be flooded with bonuses but also be proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with the top giants of the continent. This can be seen as an important milestone for Leicester to improve their position in the future.
FIRST TIME AT THE BIG SEA
Leicester last played in Europe 16 years ago, when they were eliminated in the first round of the UEFA Cup by Red Star Belgrade. But next season, Leicester's journey in the continental arena will not be so short. At the very least, coach Claudio Ranieri and his team will have 6 matches (in the Champions League group stage) against teams outside the borders of England.
Previously, Leicester only knew the UEFA Cup/Europa League, but next season they will experience the prestigious Champions League. If they defeat Man United at their opponent's home ground tomorrow night, Ranieri's team will enter the Champions League group stage as a seeded team, on par with PSG, Juventus, Bayern. That is an honor that is not easy to achieve. Even Man City, after 8 years of receiving huge investment from Arab owners, has never been a seed in the group stage.
Winning the Premier League this season will open the door to the big sea for Leicester. Last summer, Leicester could only choose modest opponents like Mansfield Town or Lincoln City in the pre-season training phase. But now, the name Leicester has reached a new level in the brand ladder. They have been invited by the organizers to participate in the pre-season training tournament International Champions Cup (ICC), which is usually reserved for famous teams. Coach Ranieri and his team will compete with the giants PSG and Barcelona in giant stadiums. A year ago, even the most optimistic fans could not have imagined the prospect of Leicester being sought after so much in the summer.
If they get 3 points at MU's home ground tomorrow night, coach Ranieri and his team will soon win the Premier League and enter the group stage of next season's Champions League as a seeded team.
LEICESTER IS ABOUT TO BE DRINKED IN MONEY
Winning the Premier League will help promote Leicester's image around the world. At the press conference to launch next season, captain Wes Morgan and coach Claudio Ranieri will be honored to be present in the guest seats of honor. In addition to fame, coach Ranieri's team is also expected to be flooded with money after winning the Premier League. This championship is expected to bring Leicester no less than 170 million pounds. Of which, 40 million pounds comes from being present in the Champions League group stage. 90 million pounds is revenue from television copyright and rewards from the Premier League Organizing Committee. The remaining 40 million pounds is revenue from ticket sales and commercial activities.
As defending champions, Leicester will be in a strong position to negotiate large advertising contracts. The attraction of the spectacular achievements that Ranieri and his team have created this season will also help the King Power Stadium attract more fans in the future. In addition, revenue from television copyrights also promises to increase significantly. Remember that part of the money that the organizers pay the teams comes from whether their matches are broadcast live on Sky Sports and BT Sports or not (each match is broadcast, the team pockets 800,000 pounds). In the first half of the 2015/16 Premier League, Leicester only had 4 matches broadcast live. But next season everything will change.
Winning the Premier League will change Leicester's life. This is a stepping stone for them to improve their position in both sports and business. With the huge income after winning the championship, the King Power Stadium club can freely shop in the transfer market to increase their strength. They will have a new position on the football field in the foggy country, no longer the team struggling to avoid relegation like a year ago.
However, Leicester are currently only one step away from the Premier League title. To fully embrace this trophy and feel the glory of a champion, they need to defeat Man United at Old Trafford on Sunday. This match is like a door that if Leicester wins, they will turn a new page.
The shirt with the championship logo quickly "sold out" If they win the title this year, Leicester will appear on the pitch next season with the Premier League logo bordered in gold on the sleeve. This is an honor reserved for the defending champions. This special shirt is expected to sell like hotcakes. Leicester even received a large order from Thailand, even though they have not won the title. In addition, the King Power team also plans to open a service to attach the Premier League logo bordered in gold on the clothes of fans for 5 pounds. |
Leicester plans to "tie down" its veterans The first thing Leicester did after the end of the 2015/16 season was to keep hold of their old players. In February, they tied down Vardy to a contract until 2019. Those about to come to the negotiating table include Wes Morgan and Danny Simpson. Both are only tied to the club until the summer of 2017. In addition, goalkeeper Schmeichel (pictured) is also being persuaded to sign a new contract, after he was targeted by a number of potential teams. Meanwhile, Kante and Mahrez are in a state where they can be ready to be sold if the price is right. |
