Leicester, một bước nữa là đổi đời

FIRST TIME IN THE BIG SEA

Leicester last played in Europe 16 years ago, when they were eliminated by Red Star Belgrade in the first round of the UEFA Cup. 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 arena. If they defeat Man United right at their opponent's lair 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 get. Even Man City, after 8 years of receiving huge investment from Arab owners, has never been a seed in the group stage.

This season's Premier League title will open the door to the big sea before 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 is on 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 only for famous teams. 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 imagine the prospect of Leicester being sought after so much in the summer.

If they get 3 points on MU's field 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

The Premier League title 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 participating 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 Ranieri and his team's spectacular achievements this season will also help 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 to the teams comes from whether their matches are broadcast live on Sky Sports and BT Sports or not (for each broadcast match, 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 title, 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 hand on the Premier League title. To fully embrace this trophy and feel the glory of a champion, they need to beat Man United at Old Trafford on Sunday. This match is like a door that if won, Leicester will turn a new page.

The shirt with the championship logo quickly "sold out"

If they win this year, next season Leicester will appear on the pitch with a gold-bordered Premier League logo on their sleeves. 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 a gold-bordered Premier League logo to fans' uniforms for 5 pounds.


Leicester plans to "tie" its veterans

The first thing Leicester did after the end of the 2015/16 season was to keep hold of their veterans. Last February, they "tied" Vardy with a contract until 2019. Those about to step up 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 in the sights of a series of potential teams. Meanwhile, Kante and Mahrez are in a state where they can be ready to be sold if the price is right.
