Eight Hundred and Eighty-Four Get What You Want

Chapter 885

"First of all, on behalf of the dressing room, I would like to thank all the Manchester City fans and everyone who has helped us. It is because of your support and help that we have been able to achieve great results this season."

"We are a unit fighting side by side!"

"Here, I want to tell you that we will not be satisfied with the status quo, this season's results will not stop us, on the contrary, it will make us more confident, more calm, more aggressive, we I hope to achieve better results in the new season and repay everyone’s support and love.”

At the beginning of the celebration banquet, after Mubarak, Soriano, Begiristan and Guardiola delivered speeches successively, Su Dong, as a representative of the team's locker room, came to the stage to say a few words for the team.

After being the captain for a year, Su Dong has become more and more stage-like.

Perhaps it is because the mobilization in the locker room has been talked a lot, and he has faced the media and fans more times on behalf of the locker room, so that when he is facing a large number of guests, staff and teammates, he basically blurts out without writing.

There were bursts of warm applause from the audience.

"Finally, I also want to take this opportunity to tell my teammates that I hope everyone can continue to work hard and strive for better performance and better results in the new season, whether it is in the Premier League. , or in the Champions League, or in the domestic cup competitions, we can achieve another success!"

Su Dong's last words won him the warmest applause from the audience.

His weight in the Manchester City dressing room is getting heavier and he is even more effective than Guardiola in many cases.

De Bruyne, Courtois and others, who attended Manchester City's celebration for the first time, also witnessed Su Dong's influence in the Manchester City team. Whether it was in the dressing room or in the club, it was amazing.

...

The awards ceremony that followed was nothing to say.

As early as the beginning of the celebration banquet, Su Dong had made it clear that as the team captain, he would not participate in any award selection within the team, not only this time, but also every time in the future. .

The teammates were both surprised and delighted by Su Dong's decision.

Everyone knows that if Su Dong runs for election, many awards will basically have nothing to do with them, and they are more to accompany Su Dong to run.

But now that Su Dong has withdrawn, their chance has come.

This is not only an honor, but also a real reward. Behind each award is a generous bonus.

Of course, the most important thing is that this afternoon, every player's account received the triple crown bonus transferred from the club, and everyone was in a happy mood, smiling from ear to ear.

David Silva won the player of the season, Tony Cross won the rookie of the season.

Don't look at Tony Kroos as the main midfielder this season, but in fact, he is only 21 years old, a proper rookie.

Although local rookies like Trippier and Sterling have also performed well, they are still far from Tony Kroos, so in the end it was the German midfielder who won the award.

The best goal of the season was given to Busquets, because he has only scored one goal this season, which is pretty good.

There are other awards of various sizes, which are awarded to almost all the main players. There are also many awards for the substitutes and rotation players. Even the players who did not win the award will get one. consolation prize.

...

The whole celebration feast ended in a festive atmosphere.

Not only the players, but also the coaches and staff have their own awards and red envelopes, and everyone comes home full of rewards.

This is also a manifestation of Manchester City's wealth.

Mansour is still very willing to invest in this aspect, which is not much among European clubs.

The reaction from Manchester City players and employees has also been positive.

The owner is willing to invest, and the players and employees will naturally work with more enthusiasm.

After the team finished the celebration banquet, Su Dong also paid out of his own pocket to invite everyone on the team to the nightclub for a revelry.

On weekdays, the players live an ascetic life. Everyone is very self-disciplined. Now that the season is over, they can indulge a little. Su Dong himself does not drink a drop of alcohol and only drinks juice, but he did not stop the players from drinking. Moderate amount.

This makes the players very satisfied.

After the carnival was late at night, everyone left one after another.

...

After the celebration banquet, Manchester City officially disbanded.

Instead of taking a vacation immediately, Su Dong continued to stay in Manchester to deal with some things, and at the same time flew to Germany and Italy to shoot two sponsored commercials.

Today's Su Dong is very busy, and it takes a long time to invite him to shoot an advertisement.

After returning, Su Dong went directly to London. Accompanied by Wang Chuqing, he went to Wembley Stadium to watch the Champions League final between Barcelona and Manchester United.

It was the last heavyweight match in European football of the season.

Compared with Manchester United's losses to Manchester City in the Premier League and the FA Cup, Barcelona under Jose Mourinho defeated the arch-rival Real Madrid and won two titles in the La Liga and Copa del Rey titles. Championship trophy.

If they win the Champions League again this season, then Barcelona will achieve the treble.

This is what Mourinho has been pursuing since he coached Barcelona, ​​and it has also been Messi's goal for many years.

Everyone can see that Messi is wholeheartedly trying to catch up with Su Dong and achieve what Su Dong achieved in Barcelona back then.

As for Mourinho, from Porto to Chelsea to Barcelona, ​​he reached the Champions League final several times, but repeatedly failed to do so.

This season is already the third consecutive season for him and Barcelona to reach the Champions League final. If he cannot win the championship again, Mourinho will really collapse.

In the history of the Champions League, there have been many times in the history of reaching the Champions League final for three consecutive years, but at least one championship can be won. The worst is Valencia, who reached the Champions League final for two consecutive years. Neither won the championship, but in the third year, they missed the final.

Therefore, Barcelona is very optimistic before the game.

Mourinho also seems to have absorbed the use of Sudong by Guardiola when Manchester City played against Manchester United before. In the final, Messi was arranged to play as a free agent, and two players, Pedro and Villa, were used as wingers, and the midfielder was It was the combination of Xavi and Iniesta, with Yaya Toure dragging the last.

This lineup allowed Barcelona to firmly control the ball, just like Manchester City, while Messi kept hitting the Manchester United defense with the ball, not only creating opportunities for Pedro and Villa, but also hitting the goal frequently. .

With the experience of facing Manchester City before, Manchester United is obviously more experienced when facing Barcelona's style of play.

Ferguson adopted a three-midfield tactic, mainly defending, and actively counterattacking. In addition, he was at Wembley Stadium, which is more familiar to Manchester United. As a result, Manchester United scored a goal in a counterattack not long after the opening. , opened the scoring for Manchester United.

This goal completely ignited the passion at Wembley Stadium.

"Ferguson is really amazing!" Su Dong said with admiration.

After the FA Cup loss to Manchester City, Ferguson's tactics have clearly adjusted.

The same set of play was used on Manchester United for the second time, and the effect was not obvious.

But the most important thing is Barcelona's own problems.

Su Dong really realized that Mourinho's style of play was imprisoning the Barcelona players.

To put it simply, every player seems to be in shackles when they can't let go of their hands and feet.

Or, they all played suffocatingly and were not happy at all.

If you can't play your own strength as you want, naturally you won't be able to play your best state.

"You mean, can Manchester United win?" Wang Chuqing asked curiously.

Before the game, Su Dong clearly told her that he was very optimistic about Barcelona.

Sure enough, Su Dong still shook his head, "It's hard to say, I can only say that Manchester United temporarily has the initiative, but Barcelona's desire to win is very strong, especially Messi, this kid has been holding back long enough!"

This season, Messi has ushered in a big outbreak. Mourinho also said that a very important reason is that there is no Sudong in the Champions League.

Don't underestimate this!

Judging from the past few years, the teams that Su Dong joined have all shown strong competitiveness in the Champions League, and Su Dong himself has repeatedly been able to stabilize the World Footballer and the Ballon d'Or by virtue of his outstanding performance.

This season, Su Dong is unable to participate in the Champions League because of Manchester City.

Even if Manchester City finally won the triple crown of the Premier League, the FA Cup and the Europa League, Barcelona can't stand the two champions of La Liga and the King's Cup. , that is correct.

Messi will also be bound to become the number one favorite for the FIFA Ballon d'Or with this triple crown.

Su Dong scored more goals, but Messi's championship gold content is higher.

Messi has been waiting for such an opportunity for so many years, and he will not miss it.

And Su Dong did not guess wrong.

Before the end of the first half, Messi suddenly dribbled the ball and plugged in. After passing three Manchester United players, he broke into the penalty area, shot low near the penalty spot, broke Manchester United's goal, and equalized the score for Barcelona. than one.

After changing sides and fighting again in the second half, Messi was still quite active.

After creating opportunities for Pedro and Villa in a row, but failing to score, Messi and Iniesta completed a small-range two consecutive collisions in the 73rd minute. , playing around with Manchester United's defenders.

In the end, Messi kicked his foot in the penalty area and broke Van der Sar's goal again.

Two to one, Barcelona reversed Manchester United!

Then, no matter how Manchester United counterattacked, Ferguson even made a desperate attempt, but Barcelona still held on to the score of 2 to 1.

After 90 minutes of hard fighting between the two sides, Barcelona finally relied on Messi's brace to reverse Manchester United 2-1 and win the Champions League this season.

First missed the Premier League, then the FA Cup, and now the Champions League, Manchester United from the third-line battle to nothing, Ferguson's frustration and helplessness can be seen.

On the contrary, Barcelona, ​​although it began to suffer setbacks, with Messi's outstanding performance, successfully reversed Manchester United and won the Champions League.

The head coach Mourinho was even more excited and rushed to the sidelines to slide and kneel, then jumped up and kept waving his fists, venting his inner excitement and excitement. This was the first Champions League in his coaching career.

After missing the Champions League several times in a row, Mourinho finally got his wish!

The only fly in the ointment is that there is no Sudong in the Champions League this season.

If you can step on Su Dong to win the Champions League, it will be even more perfect!
