The English Football League (EFL) season came to a dramatic end: Leeds United were crowned the Championship champions, Luton Town suffered a relegation, and Bradford miraculously advanced in the last seconds of stoppage time - a day of mixed sadness and joy, bringing the season to a shocking end.
On the green field in Plymouth, Leeds United coach Daniel Falk was tired but excited to witness his team win the English Championship in a dramatic way. Due to the disadvantage of goal difference, Leeds United had to at least tie with Burnley to reach the top. In the end, with Solomon's lore in stoppage time, they achieved this goal. Both sides had 100 points, and Leeds United won the championship with a slight advantage.
"I was too tired when the final whistle blew and had no energy to celebrate because I was focused on promotion to the Super League," Falk said afterwards. He chose to sit alone in the coaching booth, immersed in his own emotions, and temporarily did not participate in the celebration on the field.
Falk said: "I really wanted to win this game and I hope to dedicate this championship trophy to everyone in the club. Today is a proud and emotional day. We have paid too much and now we can finally crown our efforts with silverware."
This is the first championship in the careers of many players in the locker room, and Falk is happy for them. He took over Leeds two years ago when the team had just been relegated from the Premier League. After the bitter defeat in the play-offs last season, they have finally completed the task of promotion to the Premier League.
Falk said: "To be honest, I would not consider coaching any other Championship team except Leeds United. I know how big and strong the potential of this club is."
On this passionate green field, some were ecstatic, some were in tears. The last round of the EFL used extreme emotional ups and downs, leaving an unforgettable footnote for the entire season.
