Leicester vuelve a ser de Premier League: ya aseguró su ascenso de la mano de Jamie Vardy

Los Foxes han hecho las labores en la Championship para regresar al máximo circuito del futbol inglés.

Luego de 44 fechas en la Segunda División del futbol inglés, mejor conocida como Championship, un viejo conocido vuelve a ser noticia al amarrar prácticamente otro ascenso a la Premier League tras el resultado de la goleada por 4 a 0 del Leeds al Queens Park Rangers.

Los ‘Foxes’ no sólo conocen la experiencia del ascenso, sino que incluso ya saben lo que es ganar la Premier, algo que consiguieron en 2016, tan sólo dos años después de haber conseguido su promoción a la máxima división del futbol inglés. No obstante, nueve años después de su meteórico ascenso que terminó con la copa en sus vitrinas, el Leicester volvió a descender.

Tan sólo les bastó una temporada en la división de ascenso para mandar un poderoso mensaje: al Leicester no le gusta estar allí, la Championship les queda chica, y se sienten más cómodos en la Premier, a donde se enfilan de la mano de un efectivo equipo dirigido por Enzo Maresca y comandado por su gran emblema, el veterano de 37 años Jamie Vardy, quien además firma una gran cuota goleadora de 16 anotaciones en 33 partidos.

Matemáticas aplicadas a los Foxes

La Championship da dos boletos directos para el ascenso a sus líderes, mientras que el 3, 4, 5 y 6 de su tabla general se disputan un playoff. Leicester es el líder y tan sólo se le acerca el Leeds, que con un partido más y 90 puntos, ni ganando su último juego -llegando a 93- puede arrebatarle a los Foxes el primer lugar que presumen con 94 unidades.

Leeds sí está en peligro de perder el segundo puesto, ya que el Ipswich, con tres partidos menos suma 89 puntos, que podrían incrementar si vencen al Hull este fin de semana, e incluso podrían subirse al primer lugar si ganan sus tres encuentros (logrando 98 puntos) y Leicester perdiera los dos que le restan, quedándose en 94.
