When Elton John and Hugh Grant suffer – DiePresse.com
England is considered the « mother country of football » and its epicenter is clearly London. Because in this city, which, like Austria, has almost nine million inhabitants, 17 professional football clubs are bustling. However, the last championship title of this metropolis has been ago.
If you want to see really good, passionate and loud football, you are in good hands in England. Every week, the masses make a pilgrimage to the stadiums with their holy season tickets. No matter what weather or how badly your club is playing, the « lads » are always live. The Premier League is generally considered the best league in the world, these 20 clubs form the backbone of an empire in which TV billion rolls, with which merchandising assets are earned and global partnerships are laced-and supporters of the respective colors, logos and players find their fulfillment.
Whether sheikh, US investor or only one last, real English owner: Success is facing, all hurdles and plagues of everyday life are forgotten. If the club loses, the Brit suffers more than anyone else. Also germinates envy when the greatest rival is constantly winning the title or, that also happens, you are happy when a « underdog » like Leicester City (2016, with Christian Fuchs) succeeds the big, almost fairytale cup coup.
