Soon another season of football full of intrigue and emotions will end. It is a season where everyone's eyes are focused on the battles of the major clubs and national championships. As they come to an end, many become interested in who has joined their favorite club league and who they will have to fight against in the new season. However, passions are boiling not only in the major leagues but also in the lower divisions. In this article, forum member ClaretBFC reviewed the season of the English "Championship" league.
"Queens Park Rangers"
Last year an average team, this year league leader and already champion. This is how we can briefly describe London's QPR - a team that, as if defying the spiral, shot up leaving behind its own dust. What propelled them forward? Adel Taarabt, who impressed many experts with his technical and beautiful game. This season, the Moroccan scored 19 goals and made 16 assists. However, the champions were hit by a dark shadow - rumors surfaced before the end of the season that the English FA could deduct 15 points from the Londoners for the illegally acquired player Alejandro Faurlin, but the association did not do this, yet an appropriate fine will be imposed. Be that as it may, QPR are the champions and we should wish them success in the 2011-12 Premier League season.
"Norwich City"
A dizzying leap forward. This is how we can describe the path of the team in second place, Norwich, towards new heights. Having won the third division tournaments last year, this year Norwich secured their ticket to the Premier League. Many would have said before the season - "unlikely, as they still need to adjust to the new division, and that period would be at least a few years!" But led by Grant Holt, the 'Canaries' will pose many problems for stronger teams next year, and the secret of success was revealed by the coach Paul Lambert without hesitation: "Determination, desire, and self-confidence."
"Swansea City"
The 'Swans' were between second and sixth place all season, until they finally lost the fight for a direct ticket to the dream league. Scott Sinclair. The man for whom the "Swansea" team paid half a million pounds to London's Chelsea team. Written off Sinclair showed himself in all his glory – 18 goals and interest from Premier League mid-table teams. However, he will have the opportunity to prove himself in the "Play-Off" cauldron, just like the entire Swansea team. Perhaps the Welshmen will have their place among the leading English teams?
