The old fox

Leicester will be champion. Everything points to it only. And hardly fate had a hand. The main merit will be an Italian gentleman and his army of diehard fighters.
"Claudio Ranieri? Really? "He asked ironically Gary Lineker last summer. It was then that the Thai owner of Leicester almost impossible to pronounce name Vicha Srivadhanaprabha, surprised everyone
in the UK with the appointment of a manager who was known by the nickname Thinker and that had never won a title. While he had taken great teams like Valencia, Chelsea, Roma, Inter, Juventus and Monaco.

Naturally, everyone thought that Ranieri is coming to save the team from relegation. The same team that had just survived miraculously in the Premier League.
Title you?!? Hardly was sober person who thought that the era of big money, modest composition without any success could disrupt the hegemony of giants like Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City and Arsenal. The possibility of this happening, then was estimated at 1 in 5000 by the same factor could bet the Loch Ness monster to appear in Sor River that runs through Leicester. However, there were romantics who believed that foxes will become champions. Just 25. According to the bookmakers 'William Hill' so people were staked title of Leicester before the start of the season. Only three of them were local fans so it looks Gary Lineker really had no reason to doubt the bright future of his native club ...
What happened next is truly enchanting and unusual. And although it seems difficult to explain, explanation there. Work.
"We live to work." That said recently Ranieri for their players. In each game they look like groups that have come out of the arena to fight to the last. And running. Very. While not give everything. Exactly what the Italian wants their mentor. Jamie Vardi looks like a competitor of Usain Bolt for Olympic title in the 100 meters sprint. N'Golo Cante move players like Neo from Matrix and is able to teleport a split second in every part of the pitch to take the ball. At the heart of the magical tricks of Riyadh Mareza they must be Dumbledore, Gandalf and Merlin, which seemed to have instilled a heap in the Algerian international. A cornerstone in the protection Wes Morgan and Robert Huth seem fully capable to engage in gang Expendables Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The presentation of these players has nothing accidental and the numbers show it. Only some of them - Cante has claimed as many balls in the Premier League, Morgan has blocked the most shots Mareza is a footballer who has been involved in most hits / 16 goals and 11 assists / and Vardi is the most effective player elite with Harry Kane from Tottenham.
Most importantly however, it is that Ranieri brought faith and tranquility in the team. In addition to the football battle on the field, he had categorically and in the beyond. Even after the dramatic draw with West Ham, kept his cool and launched into criticism of the refereeing. Never look ahead not get into an argument with a colleague did not complain, did not show superiority, but only modesty, respect and humility. The Italian has long won all his broad smile and casual behavior.
Prompted the competitors to love him. He appeared surprisingly birthdays of some of them. He gave them two free days a week. Comforting them. Protect them from tension. And brought them to the verge of the biggest success in the 132-year history of the club. Soon it will be fact. And it will be fully deserved.
"Semper Eadem". "Always the same." Such is the motto of 330 thousandth city of Leicester. Soon, however, nothing will be the same. Gary Lineker will lead underwear "Match of the day" on the BBC, because they believed that Leicester will triumph in the Premier League at the end of the season. One football fan from Brighton bet 60 pence a championship team, a few months will be serving on a beach in Ibiza with a profit of 3,000 pounds. And the old fox Claudio Ranieri and his players will be deservedly crowned as champions for the first time in the history of English football.
