[突发新闻]160505-Leicester City in football fairytale win
Football fans in an English city are celebrating a fairytale win for their club. Leicester City won England's Premier League for the first time in their 132-year history. They team beat the big teams like Manchester United and Chelsea to the title. Journalists are saying it is the greatest achievement in the history of sport. Leicester were bottom of the 20-team Premier League last year. However, their style of play totally changed this year. New players and a new coach made them almost unbeatable. They won the title on Monday night and their supporters around the world went crazy.
Leicester were promoted to the Premier League only two years ago. They were favourites to go back down again this season. No one gave them a chance of winning the League. Last August, they were 5,000-1 against winning the title. If you had put a $1 bet on them to win, you could now collect $5,000. The actor Tom Hanks said he bet $100 on Leicester and will now get $500,000 back. Leicester's team cost less to buy than just one star in the top teams. However, two Leicester players won awards in England. It is also likely that Leicester's manager Claudio Ranieri will be world coach of the year.
