When the Swans Sing

Swansea is a beautiful Welsh City, but since the domestic football club became a Premier league team the city has gained more attention. Swansea football club has made history, entering the Premier League premises for the first time in the history. But that is not all, for the first time a Welsh team is playing in the English Premier League and now… Swansea is the leader after the first two matches of the season. The team thrashed QPR in London with 5-0 victory.
The last year`s Swansea manager has departed to lead Liverpool and the club has received reportedly around 15 million for his player Joe Allen. It was the biggest amount ever paid for a Swansea player. The team gained a lot of praises for their football and soon attracted analysts’ attention. Today the club has a new manager, the famous former Danish player Michael Laudrup. The target of the new coach is not only to secure Swansea`s place in the Premier League, but to build a strong and competitive team.
Last year Swansea finished in the 11th position, but they showed ability to achieve one of the first ten places in England. The challenges for the Welsh team are bigger this upcoming season. They want to write the modern Welsh football history. Without big and famous names the Swans deserved their place in the Premier League. The football of the Swans attracted many fans, and the Liberty Stadium has become one of the biggest attractions in Swansea City.
The ex-Swansea manager Brendan Rodgers has lifted the standards so high that is seems difficult for the new one to sustain the last year achievements. But keep in mind that in front of the home Welsh crowd the team is so powerful and the trip to the Liberty Stadium has become a swan song for many English Premier League teams.
