That night, the headline on the front page of the newly published Manchester Evening News was a huge photograph of Lu Wei being held high by many FC United to celebrate their successful promotion to the Premier League.

From the creation of the team in '05 to the seventh division, Karl . It took five years for Markkinson to lead the team from the seventh division to the Premier League, and twelve years later, FC United is no longer the small team that can only live in someone else's stadium to complete the registration, but a real Premier League team, becoming the 48th Premier League team in the history of the establishment of the Premier League.

However, Lu Wei is not satisfied with this, FC United have only ensured that they can be promoted in advance, and have not yet locked up the league title, with six rounds remaining, 13 points ahead of second-placed Newcastle United, which means that FC United only need two games to become the 16-17 Championship champions.

Not only that, FC United will have the potential to break a number of Championship records. Reading scored 31 wins, 13 draws and 2 defeats in the 05-06 Championship with a total of 106 points, which is also the Championship points record, while FC United now have 97 points and have six games left to get a maximum of 115 points, and it only takes three wins and one draw to break this record.

And not only the points record, but also the record for the highest win in the Championship will be broken by the Reds, the previous record of 31 wins held by Reading in 05-06 and Leicester City in 13-14, a record that will undoubtedly be broken by FC United, who have already won 30.

There is also a record of 19 wins at home, FC United have 17 games, and there are four home games to come, and there is a high probability of breaking this record. As for the 15-game away win record, it is no longer broken, and the best result is to tie it.

It's a pity that the Championship winning streak record can't be broken, FC United have had eight consecutive wins in the middle of the season, but compared with the records of Reading and Aston Villa, there are still two games behind, even if all the remaining games are won, FC United can only get ten consecutive wins, but only to tie this record, for Lu Wei, who aspires to become a Premier League giant, this record may not have a chance to be broken.

However, Lu Wei wants to lift the Championship trophy more than a record-breaking one, the last two games are played on the red court, against 12th-placed Aston Villa and 17th-placed Ipswich United, as long as all victories are won, FC United can lift the 16-17 Championship trophy after the game against Birmingham.

The desperate Aston Villa failed to cause FC United too much trouble, and although Jonathan Koja scored in the opening three minutes, Sollot and Holihaan scored two goals before the end of the first half, and in the 75th minute of the second half, Hayden sealed the victory with a long-range shot from outside the box.

Newcastle United seem to have lost confidence after losing to FC United, drawing 1-1 with Leeds United, and the point difference with FC United widened to 15 points, that is, as long as FC United do not lose to Ipswich in the next round, they can win the Championship four rounds early.

On 14 April 2017, the Red Stadium was packed and the FA sent the Championship trophy to the Red Course, and no one thought FC United would miss out on this good chance to win the trophy, not even their opponents Ipswich United.

Although they are in 17th place, they are 9 points away from the relegation zone, which is a very safe distance, and they will also meet the relegated Rotherham United who have long been relegated, and other relegation opponents will also meet each other in the next few rounds, and it is impossible to win all of them, it can be said that Ipswich have completed the relegation task ahead of schedule.

Ipswich manager Mick McCarthy, who is also a regular youngster-promoting manager, sent three under-21-year-olds to the game, 20-year-old right winger, Ward's 19-year-old midfielder Bishop and 17-year-old midfielder Dozol, who clearly wanted to train newcomers and did not want to touch FC United's mold on the red court.

Lu Wei will not do the same because the opponent sends young people to play and exercise, even if he will do it, it will be after winning the championship, what he needs to do now is to win this game firmly and leave the championship trophy on the red court first.

Goalkeeper Edward. Mendy, defenders Tafnir, Tarkovski, Egan and Robertson, midfielders McGim, Holihaan and Maddison, strikers Bowen, Sancho and Sollot. FC United's starting lineup is mainly about attack, what draw can ensure the victory, Lu Wei doesn't care about those, what I want is to win on the red court and lift the trophy.

To the cheers of nearly 40,000 fans, FC United took only seven minutes to knock on the Ipswich goal, Taphnir and Bowen hit the wall on the right and hit the bottom line, passed the ball to the back point before the football went out of bounds, Robertson, who had never stopped running, volleyed with his left foot, and the football bounced off the ground and flew into the net.

Five minutes later, Sollot scored his 27th league goal of the season in a cross from Jadon Sancho, with 27 league goals putting him at the top of the Championship top scorers list, followed by Chris with 24 goals. Wood, as for other players, it is impossible to shake his status as the top scorer in the Championship.

After leading by two goals, FC United gradually slowed down the pace of the game, they can see that Ipswich did not use his full strength, so they did not want to let the opponent have no face, Ipswich is also very sensible and slow to play positional cooperation, can score the best, it doesn't matter if you don't score.

After the start of the second half, all the fans on the red court were not focused on the game, they were singing and dancing in the stands, making waves and red roars, waiting for the moment when the game was over.

Finally, just over a minute after stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, he knew that there was no point in more stoppage time, and the moment he heard the whistle, a huge carnival began in the red court!

Nor will they have to wait for the results of the other side, Newcastle United, who beat Ipswich Town 2-0 to win the English Championship in the 16-17 season.
