From Part 5 to Part 2, the miracle of Wrexham, known as 'Deadful'

Wrexham, a small British town with a population of more than 60,000 people, has become hot with soccer.

Wrexham, founded in 1864, went beyond the honor of being the oldest football club in Wales and wrote the miracle of returning to the English Championship (second division) for the first time in 43 years on the 27th.

Wrexham defeated Charlton Athletic 3-0 in the 45th round of the English League One (third division) at the Racecourse Ground in Wrexham, Wales on Sunday. Wrexham, who accumulated 89 points with the victory, widened the gap with third-place Stockport County to five points, confirming the second place that guarantees promotion of the championship regardless of the result of the final match.

Wrexham was actually an ordinary team that had been in the English National League (minor league) for more than a decade. Wrexham won the National League title in April 2023 and was promoted to the League Two (minor league) last year, ranking second in the league. As Wrexham was promoted to the championship once again this year, it has achieved three consecutive promotions from the fifth division to the second division in two years.

The story that is not left out in Wrexham is Ryan Reynolds, 48, and Rob McCarheny, 47, who are also Hollywood actors. Reynolds, who is well-known as the main character of the movie Deadpool, was so impressed by the soccer documentary Sunderland that he bought Wrexham in 2021 for 2 million pounds (about 3.8 billion won) with McCarheny.
The two actors led Wrexham using their talents. The documentary "Welcome Do Wrexham" was produced and released worldwide in August 2022 to introduce the process of reviving Wrexham as a beloved team in the region. Based on this documentary, which produces a new season every year, Wrexham's income increased significantly as it became known little by little, and based on that income, players who could compete for promotion were brought in.

An indispensable player in Wrexham's promotion is Paul Mullen, a striker from the Liverpool youth team near his hometown. Mullen was a promising player who won the League Two top scorer (32) and player of the year, but he willingly accepted a move to the fifth division, Wrexham, which is close to home, to take care of his autistic son. And Wrexham was promoted every year because of fierce goal firecrackers in the fifth division (38 goals) and the fourth division (24 goals) at the tip of Mullen's feet. Mullen, who naturally became famous, also appeared in movies Deadpool and Wolverine along with Reynolds. In addition, players from the English Premier League (EPL) such as Stephen Fletcher and Arthur Okonko joined, and Wrexham maintained its momentum for promotion to the second division. 온라인카지노

Wrexham's success has led to a remarkable rise in its value. According to the U.S. economic magazine Fortune, Wrexham's value reached 100 million pounds (about 193 billion won) as of March. It is 50 times the amount that Reynolds and co-owner Mackerheny acquired Wrexham. Considering that Wrexham's promotion to the second division will increase its broadcasting rights to 15 billion won, its value is expected to rise further. The two co-owners, who gained confidence in their deviations, even took over the Colombian professional soccer team La Ekidad, which is drawing attention to whether a miracle like Wrexham will happen.
