The English secondary league was originally the English First Division. Later, due to the large number of fans, it was sponsored by the bookmaker Skybet and renamed the Champions League.
The number of viewers in the English Championship even surpassed that of other top leagues in Europe, second only to the Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, and Ligue 1, and the number of viewers ranked sixth in Europe!
This shows how popular the English football market is.
The English Championship teams are not all weak teams.
Blackburn, Wigan, Queens Park Rangers, Burnley, Middlesbrough, Leeds United...
These are all teams that have frequently entered and exited the Premier League, and some clubs can even compete with the giants.
The Blue Foxes Leicester City, as a"newcomer" who has been in the English First and Second Divisions for a long time and was promoted to the English Championship two years ago, is still a little struggling compared to these old strong teams.
No wonder fans are not optimistic about the Blue Foxes' promotion to the Premier League in the new season.
2013-2014 season, Leicester City's English Championship opening game!
Middlesbrough vs. Leicester City!
There are still 3 hours before the game, and many Foxes fans who travel with the team have gathered outside the Riverside Stadium, the home stadium of Middlesbrough.
When facing media interviews, the Foxes fans smiled reluctantly.
"We should be able to win against Middlesbrough, but it will be difficult to make it to the Premier League this season."
"I feel that we need to bring in stronger players to advance to the Super League. I don't know what the club means by signing a Chinese player. Can they play football?"
"Rumor has it that they can sign former Manchester United player Joshua King? And midfielder Anderson? I think it would be fine if they could sign Anderson, after all, he is the golden boy of Europe."
"It would be great if we could get Nani."
Since there are two Manchester United youth players in the team, Andy King and Matthew James, both of whom have performed well, the Foxes fans hope to pick up Manchester United's abandoned players and maybe they can win the lottery.
With Nani and Anderson, there will be no problem in getting promoted to the Premier League.
Unfortunately, Nani would rather sit on the bench at Old Trafford than be relegated to the Championship team.
The Foxes fans are completely whimsical.
For Lin Mo, except for the fans who watched him play in the entertainment game that day, the rest of the people did not have any expectations for the time being.
The most outrageous thing is that this 18-year-old Chinese player who was inexplicably signed by the club actually went on the away game with the team! Lin Mo was on the list against Middlesbrough!
……
"Lin, that's great, we are all selected! Why do you feel a little excited?"
The bus is about to arrive at Middlesbrough's home stadium, and Vardy is excited almost all the way.
He didn't sleep well in the hotel last night, and woke up with dark circles under his eyes.
Lin Mo shook his head helplessly:"Brother, you are 26 years old, can you calm down. Besides, didn't you play in the Championship last season?"
"It's different! Last season, I was only occasionally included in the list, but this season, I was included in the first game!"
When the game list was announced yesterday, Lin Mo only clenched his fist slightly when he saw his name.
Vardy jumped up excitedly, just like Fan Jin who was excited to pass the imperial examination.
"Okay, okay, use this energy on the court. I hope you can charge forward in every game."
Little did they know that it was Lin Mo's unintentional words that gave the future Premier League giants a tough opponent!
This grassroots player's counterattacks and charges again and again almost made the fans of Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City and Arsenal suffer cardiac arrest!
"You are right!" Vardy nodded seriously.
He decided to try to calm down and vent all the resentment and momentum accumulated over the years on the green field!
……
In the locker room, Lin Mo witnessed the dangers of playing away. The
Middlesbrough away team locker room is comparable to a black bathhouse in a fifth-tier small city. The bathroom floor is covered with black, unknown, sticky stains.
When the shower head was turned on, there was no hot water.
The seats in the locker room were also extremely small, and the partition boards were almost cracked, causing the Foxes players to complain.
Head coach Nigel Pearson was also very depressed.
The last time he came to Middlesbrough, it was also such a pit. The good news is that this only happens once every season.
The bad news is that other teams are not much better away from home.
Otherwise, how can the home advantage be reflected?
Before the game started, the war without gunpowder had already begun!
"Just right!"
Nigel Pearson had an idea and could take advantage of the players' resentment.
"Guys! 20 minutes left!"
"Listen to the voices outside. I'm afraid these tens of thousands of people will boo you! Those who are afraid now can still apply not to play. Is there anyone who is backing down?"
Nigel looked around. The Fox players were excited and expressed their desire to defeat the opponent.
How could a professional player be afraid of fighting so easily?
"That's right! If you are angry, just kick them on the field!"
"Shut up these home fans!"
"In the new season, if we want to advance to the Premier League, we must beat teams like Middlesbrough! Otherwise, forget about advancing to the Premier League, let's just stay in the league"
"Do you have confidence?"
"Yes!" The Blue Fox soldiers shouted in unison!
"Fuck them!"
"HellYeah!"
The first game of the new season is away from home, which is not very friendly to the players.
But everyone is in high spirits, and Nigel Pearson is a little relieved.
He paid attention to the two"newcomers", Jamie Vardy and Lin Mo.
Last season, he hadn't noticed Vardy's strength.
What role can a person who climbed up from an amateur team play?
Since Lin Mo appeared, his pass made the entire coaching staff see the linkage of the two!
One sword to the throat! Full of lethality!
Although they were temporarily placed on the bench in the first game of the new season,
Nigel Pearson still planned to use the connection between the two as a weapon to gradually let them find the feeling of the game.
Maybe this season, they will not experience the pain of the background board last season.
The opponent killed the opponent in the last minute of the promotion play-offs, and they are only half a step away from the Premier League.
This kind of pain is really hard to bear.
At the same time, Lin Mo looked at his excited teammates, and he couldn't help but feel excited.
The home team fans outside the stadium cheered loudly, and he might fight in front of 30,000 people later!
This is the moment he has dreamed of!
After a year, he finally has the opportunity to return to the green field!

【Random Challenge Mission: Win the first battle! Win the first official professional game (0/1)]

Before going out, Lin Mo's system popped up a task prompt again, with one more item than before!
"Come on! I hope the coach won't take too long!"
Pushing open the door of the locker room and standing in front of the green field, Lin Mo closed his eyes and felt the atmosphere of the stadium!
He was ready for battle!
