Chapter 883： Goal: Champions League!

Chapter 884 Goal: Champions League!

The day after the Europa League final, in the afternoon.

The red Audi R8 is speeding on the north-south highway.

From Cheshire to downtown Manchester, it is the same road as Manchester Airport to downtown.

Speeding all the way, the scenery along the way is fast retreating, like Su Dong’s memories of the victory parade last night.

In the Europa League final, after defeating Porto by 3-0, Manchester City won the Europa League without any risk and achieved the Triple Crown. It was also the first Europa League champion in the club’s history, the first time. The Triple Crown created the club’s historical pinnacle, and also caused fierce repercussions throughout Manchester and even in the United Kingdom.

Last night, when the team flew back to Manchester from Dublin overnight, the fans who picked up almost all overwhelmed Manchester Airport. The avid Manchester City fans even drove their cars and followed the team's bus north.

Manchester City Government was prepared early and planned the route of Manchester City’s championship parade.

The team bus directly arrived at the core area of ​​the city, Albert Square on the west side of City Hall. This is the core area of ​​Manchester. It was also the venue for the celebration of Manchester City's last championship more than 40 years ago.

From Albert Square all the way to the east, the team’s bus drove slowly on Manchester’s city roads.

There are only three lanes, and the middle lane is still a tram line.

Therefore, only Manchester City buses pass. All other players are on foot. Traffic control is also carried out along the way to prohibit other motor vehicles from entering.

Pass the Manchester Monument to the Manchester Art Gallery, then pass in front of the statue commemorating the computer scientist Alan Turing, and then take the northeast direction, all the way to the Etihad Stadium.

It took a total of more than two hours for the whole journey. It is not an exaggeration to describe the bus as a snail.

When the team arrived at the Etihad Stadium, the scene was already full of Manchester City fans who had been waiting for a long time. They greeted the arrival of the team with the warmest applause and cheers, and watched the three captains headed by Su Dong. , Respectively showed three championship trophies and sent them to the honor room of the club.

Man City’s honor room is quite empty, but they have won three in a season, so that all fans are full of confidence and expectations, and they firmly believe that the team can quickly fill this honor room with all kinds of trophies.

They all believe that Manchester City will surely be among the richest teams.

From the moment Su Dong joined, they were very sure of this.

...

Su Dong did not follow the route of the team last night, he did not enter the city center, but directly from the ring road to the Etihad Stadium.

After sending Su Dong to the place, Wang Chuqing asked him to call her before he was going back, and then left.

So far, Su Dong is the only man in the Manchester City team who can't drive.

In Pepe’s words, he has been chanting the slogan of learning to drive for nearly ten years, and he has never been to learn it.

“Of course, if there is such a beautiful driver to pick you up, it’s me instead of me, and I don’t want to learn to drive.” Peipei often teased.

The club was also accustomed to this "shortcoming" of Su Dong. When he saw him walking into the administrative office, they were not surprised at all, but they all greeted him with a smile.

The team won three championships. Although it is only the Europa League, it is already the peak season in the club's history.

It can be said that Manchester City’s history of more than 100 years has never been so brilliant as this season.

So, everyone has a smile on their faces, and they are especially enthusiastic when they see Su Dong.

Everyone knows that Su Dong is the number one contributor to Manchester City's triple crown.

...

came to the office of technical director Begiristan, knocked on the door, and found that the head coach Guardiola was also there.

Su Dong is not surprised, he said hello and went in.

As soon as he sat down, Su Dong first expressed an attitude.

"Don’t count me for the awards at the celebration dinner tonight."

Su Dong suddenly said that, Soriano, Begiristan and Guardiola were taken aback for a while, and a little complicated expression flashed across their faces, including admiration, surprise, strangeness, and a sigh of relief.

Celebration banquet, this is something Manchester City decided early on. Regardless of whether the team can win in Dublin or not, the club will hold a celebration banquet, and at the same time some internal club awards will be awarded.

For example, the player of the season, the Golden Boot of the season, the most popular award for fans, and the best goal of the season, etc.

Speaking of these awards, they are all internal selections, or selections made by fans on the official website. They are not authoritative, but the club still prepares a huge bonus, which is also considered a special honor.

From the previous public opinion, there is basically no suspense that Su Dong won several awards.

For example, the most popular award for fans. On the official website of Manchester City, he was far ahead when he accepted the vote from fans. All the others added up, and the number of votes was not as large as he alone. I ask, besides him, who else can he give?

There is also the Golden Boot of the season. All the other players add up, and the number of goals is not as many as Su Dong alone. What else to choose?

What is the best goal of the season, the best player of the season...

In the end, it is estimated that some awards such as the best rookie of the season have nothing to do with Su Dong, otherwise, the awards that really have a lot of weight will basically be rounded up by Su Dong.

Won’t this celebration party become Su Dong’s solo show?

Begiristan, Soriano, Guardiola and others have also considered this issue before. The prize money received is only part of the prize. The real problem is the distribution of prizes.

A celebration banquet, all the heavyweight awards were won by Su Dong, it’s not justified.

Originally, they still wanted to produce more sub-areas, but unexpectedly, Su Dong had voluntarily backed down.

This is tantamount to removing a big trouble for Bergeristan, Guardiola and others.

"Let’s say it first, I will not participate in the selection, but as the captain of the team, I will award the award." Su Dong smiled.

This requirement is not excessive.

Soriano, Begiristan, and Guardiola smiled at each other, and they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why don't you take two too?" Begiristan thought for a while, and then proposed.

For example, the most popular awards for fans are selected by fans after all.

"Farewell, before the celebration banquet, I will explain the situation in person, and to be honest, I really feel that this is fairer to other players." Su Dong said very sincerely.

He is the number one star in the team, with the most goals and the best performance, which is his own business.

For him, does it make sense to win an internal award?

The bonus is a lot for other players, but does Su Dong care?

In this case, it’s better to simply quit the beauty of adulthood, take the initiative to quit, save a lot of trouble, and gain a good reputation among teammates, which will also help the management of the dressing room in the future.

Guardiola heard Su Dong say this, he also directly admitted that Su Dong quit, they are much easier to deal with.

From the current point of view, it is only natural that David Silva won the Player of the Season.

People like Sanchez, Pepe, Kompany and Busquets, etc., can also get awards, rain and dew, and everyone is happy.

Especially Kompany and Pepe, this is the best central defender combination in the Premier League this season, Kompany himself also played the highest level of his career.

Pepe, Kompany, David Luiz, Jerome Boateng, Manchester City’s four central defenders are all strong, and their reserves are also the highest in European football. They are the most satisfying on all fronts in Manchester City. s position.

"The award will be awarded, but the promised bonus must also be cashed out as soon as possible. It is best to cash it out this afternoon, and everyone will be happier in the evening." Su Dong smiled and urged Soriano.

The general manager of Manchester City is also in charge of finances. After hearing what Su Dong said, he smiled and promised that he would be able to transfer to each player's account this afternoon, and he would never break his words.

Arrears in salary and bonuses, let alone other leagues, are very common even in the wealthy Premier League.

Many teams have such precedents, even before the Abu Dhabi consortium took over, Manchester City did it.

No way, poor, cash flow can sometimes be in trouble.

...

"What are your plans after your holiday?" Guardiola asked casually.

After the end of the season, there is only a celebration banquet and the team is about to disband.

Everyone has just gone through a busy season, and the topic of sitting down and talking is naturally about vacations.

Guardiola said he wanted to accompany his wife and children to the United States, but he likes to go to the United States.

"Back to China." Su Dong replied with a smile, "Playing in Europe these years, taking advantage of the suspension of the league, the winter break or other times, he ran many, many places, including Northern Europe, Africa, the United States, etc., everywhere. I’ve been there, but it’s my homeland alone, with many, many beautiful scenery and cities. I haven’t been to it yet.”

"This time, I plan to take advantage of the holiday and go back to China for fun."

Guardiola agrees very much, “Yes, I also want to go to China when I have the opportunity to see your hometown.”

"Call me in advance, I promise the service will be in place." Su Dong promised with a smile.

Soriano and Begiristan both had a bitter face when they heard them talking about vacation.

"You are cool. When you are on vacation, it is often our busiest time."

This is also true. UU reading

After the team is disbanded, the uniform team will start preparing for the summer transfer battle.

After winning the Triple Crown this season, Manchester City will go further next season. It is imperative to introduce strong support, especially the strong support from the center and front. Only in this way can Manchester City be able to do well in the multi-line battle in the new season.

For now, the configuration of the midfield and backcourt is okay, but the thickness of the bench in the frontcourt is not strong enough.

Adam Johnson has even gradually lost the trust of Guardiola, playing time is also getting less and less.

The next step is to see the uniform team, can we finalize the strong support for Manchester City as soon as possible.

This is even related to the club's results next season.

After all, the intensity of the Champions League match and the intensity of the Europa League are completely different.

Moreover, as the defending champion, Manchester City will play in the Premier League, the League Cup and the FA Cup. The intensity of attention will be higher than this season, and the pressure will be greater.

These need to be dealt with this summer.
