At 3 o'clock on April 30, Beijing time, a key battle in the 45th round of the 23-24 Championship season started, and Leicester City challenged Preston North End away. The 37-year-old veteran Vardy scored twice to help the Blue Foxes win 3-0 and lead the team to win the Championship championship one round ahead of schedule!
Leicester: Premier League, I'm coming!
Leicester City finished 18th in the Premier League last season and were relegated to the Championship in the third from the bottom. Leicester City, coached by former Manchester City assistant coach Maresca this season, have been at the top of the Championship early this season, and Leeds United suffered a 4-0 defeat to Queens Park Rangers in the last round, so they have already announced their return to the Premier League two rounds early.
Now, the relegated Foxes have undergone some changes in their squad, and the leader is still Jamie Vardy, who is now a 37-year-old veteran.
In the 36th minute of the first half, the 37-year-old veteran Vardy turned around and scored in the penalty area, Leicester City led away, 0-1!
In the 67th minute, Fattau provided an assist, and McAtier extended the score for the team to make it 0-3. At the end of the game, Leicester City successfully won 3-0 away from home, and won the Championship championship with a wave of three consecutive league wins!
After the game, the whole Leicester City team came to the venue to celebrate the team's successful victory in the 23-24 season of the Championship title, which is not only the 16th championship in the history of the Blue Foxes in all competitions, but also the 8th English second division championship in the history of the team, successfully surpassing Manchester City to become the team with the most titles in the second division of England!
So far in the Championship this season, Leicester City has won 31 wins, 4 draws, 10 losses and accumulated 97 points in 45 rounds, and its performance can be described as the best in the league. After winning the title in advance, Leicester City may reach 100 points this season, and the next round at home against Blackburn Rovers is expected to hit the 100-point title!
The last time Leicester City were promoted from the Championship to the Premier League was exactly 10 years ago in 2014, when the Foxes won the Championship title in the 13-14 season.
Only in the second season, he won the Premier League title in the 15-16 season, creating an incredible Leicester City miracle that surprised the entire world football world at the time.
Relegated last season and promoted this season, Leicester City, who were originally okay in the squad, quickly returned to the Premier League, and Vardy, who has become a 37-year-old veteran, has made a great contribution.
With 17 starts in 34 games in the Championship, despite the decline in fitness over the years, with an average of only 48 minutes per game, Vardy's superb sense of goal is still impressive, with 18 goals and 2 assists, firmly ranking as the team's top scorer and ranking fifth in the league scorer list.
Although he helped the Foxes win the championship and successfully promoted, there have been recent rumours that Jamie Vardy may choose to leave the team on a free transfer this summer instead of returning to the Premier League with the team, which means that the next round of matches may be the farewell game for the king of the Blue Foxes!
In July 2012, Leicester City signed 25-year-old Vardy from Fleetwood Town for £1 million, setting a record for the highest transfer fee for an amateur player in English football.
At that time, who would have thought that this grassroots striker, who suddenly jumped from the amateur arena to the Championship, would become the legendary goalscorer in the history of the Blue Foxes, and create an unprecedented championship miracle in the history of the Premier League.
In the past few years, the Foxes have been crowned with Adedy Vardy, who has won two Championship titles, one Premier League title, one FA Cup and one Community Shield.
In nearly 12 years, Vardy scored 190 goals and provided 66 assists for Leicester City, becoming the team's all-time leading scorer and assist leader, and the second person to appear in 463 games in team history, second only to Schmeichel Jr., and finally became a legend in the history of the Blue Foxes.
Jamie Vardy has scored 136 goals in 307 Premier League games, making him Leicester's all-time Premier League scorer, and when the team plays in the Premier League next season, who will carry the Foxes' scoring banner after Vardy's farewell?
After 10 years of winning the Championship, everything looks so similar. When the legendary Ivan Vardy scored twice to help the team win the title early, it was about to write the perfect end to his legend.
Maybe things are still turning around, but goodbye is always doomed, and perhaps this is a sign that the Blue Fox is about to start the next glorious journey. Whether Leicester can pull off another miracle in the Premier League will have to wait and see!
Congratulations to Leicester City for winning the Championship and returning to the Premier League!
