Chapter 884： Get what you want

Chapter 885

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

"We are a whole fighting side by side!"

"Here, I want to tell everyone that we will not be satisfied with the status quo. The results of this season will not stop us. On the contrary, it will make us more confident, calmer, and more enterprising. I hope to achieve better results in the new season and return everyone's support and love."

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

Being the captain for a year, Su Dong has also become more and more staged.

Maybe it’s a lot of mobilization in the locker room. On behalf of the locker room, he has faced the media and fans more often, so that when he is facing so many guests, staff and teammates, he basically doesn’t use drafts and just blurts out.

There was a burst 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, no matter in the Premier League. , Still in the Champions League, or in the domestic cup, can make another great result!"

Su Dong’s last words won him the warmest applause of the audience.

His weight in the Manchester City locker room is getting heavier and he often speaks even better than Guardiola.

De Bruyne and Courtois, who participated in the Manchester City celebration for the first time, also witnessed the influence of Su Dong in the Manchester City team, whether it is in the dressing room or in the club, it is very amazing.

……

The subsequent awards session has nothing to say.

As early as when the celebration banquet began, Su Dong made it clear that as the captain of the team, he will not participate in any internal award selection of the team, not only this time, but also every time in the future, he will not participate. .

This decision of teammates to Su Dong was both unexpected and delighted.

Everyone knows that if Su Dong participates in the election, many awards will basically have nothing to do with them, and more are running with Su Dong.

But now after Su Dong quit, their opportunity came.

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

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

David Silva won the Player of the Season and Tony Cross won the Rookie of the Season.

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

Local rookies like Trippier and Sterling have good performances, but 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 only scored one goal this season, which is pretty good-looking.

There are also various awards, large and small, which are awarded to almost all the main players. There are also many prizes for the substitutes and rotation players. Even the players who have not won will get a copy. Consolation prize.

……

The whole celebration banquet ended in a festive atmosphere.

Not only the players, but the coaches and staff also have their own awards and red envelopes. Everyone has returned with a rewarding experience.

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

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

Man City players and employees also responded positively to this.

The boss is willing to invest, players and employees will naturally be more passionate at work.

After the team finished the celebration banquet, Su Dong also paid out of his own pocket and invited everyone from the top and bottom of the team to the nightclub.

On weekdays, the players live a life like a monk. Everyone is very self-disciplined. Now the season is over, and you can indulge a little bit. Su Dong himself does not drink any alcohol and only drinks juice, but he did not stop the players from drinking. He just asked for it. Right amount.

This makes the players very satisfied.

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

……

After the celebration banquet, Manchester City officially disbanded.

So Dong did not immediately start taking a vacation, but continued to stay in Manchester to deal with some things, and at the same time flew to Germany and Italy to shoot two sponsor advertisements.

Nowadays, Su Dong is very busy, and it takes a long time to ask him to shoot commercials.

After returning, Su Dong went directly to London and, accompanied by Wang Chuqing, went to Wembley Stadium to watch Barcelona's Champions League final against Manchester United.

This is the last heavyweight game in European football this season.

In contrast to Manchester United losing to Manchester City in both the Premier League and the FA Cup, Mourinho’s Barcelona defeated their mortal rivals Real Madrid in both La Liga and Copa del Rey championships and won two. Championship trophy.

If they win the Champions League again this season, Barcelona will achieve a triple crown.

This is Mourinho's strenuous pursuit since coaching Barcelona, ​​and it is also Messi's goal for many years.

Anyone can see that Messi wants to catch up with Su Dong and accomplish what Su Dong did in Barcelona.

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

This season is the third consecutive season for him and Barcelona to reach the Champions League final. If he fails to win the championship, 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 champion can be won. The worst is that Valencia that year, reached the Champions League final for two consecutive years. None of them won the championship, but in the third year, they missed the final.

So, Barcelona is very optimistic before the game.

Mourinho also seems to have absorbed the use of Guardiola against Sutton in the previous Manchester City game against Manchester United. In the final, he arranged for Messi to play as a free agent, with Pedro and Villa as the wingers, and the midfielder. It was a combination of Xavi and Iniesta, and Yaya Toure was the last.

This lineup allows Barcelona to firmly control the ball, just like Manchester City, while Messi is constantly taking the ball into Manchester United’s defense, not only creating opportunities for Pedro and Villa, but also frequently kicking the ball. .

With the previous experience when facing Manchester City, Manchester United is obviously more experienced when facing Barcelona.

Ferguson adopted a three-midfield tactic, mainly defending, actively counterattacking, coupled with the more familiar Wembley Stadium Manchester United, leading to Manchester United not long after the opening, in a counterattack, Rooney scored. , Opened the record for Manchester United.

This goal completely ignited the passion in Wembley Stadium.

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

After losing to Manchester City in the FA Cup, Ferguson's tactics were clearly adjusted.

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

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

Sudong really realized that Mourinho’s play style imprisoned this group of Barcelona players.

To put it simply, every player seems to be shackled in the game.

Alternatively, they both played very sullenly and were not happy at all.

I can't play my own strength as I want, and naturally I can't play in the best state.

"You mean, Manchester United can 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 has the initiative for the time being, but Barcelona’s desire to win is very strong, especially Messi, this kid has been holding back long enough!”

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

Don’t underestimate this!

Judging from the past few years, the teams that Su Dong has joined have shown strong competitiveness in the UEFA Champions League, and Su Dong himself has also been able to stabilize the World Player of Football and the Ballon d'Or with his outstanding performance.

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

Even if Manchester City won the Premier League, the FA Cup and the Europa League in the end, Barcelona can't hold back the two champions of La Liga and Copa del Rey. As long as they win the Champions League again, the gold content of these triple crowns exceeds Manchester City. , That is proper.

Messi will also inevitably rely on this triple crown to become the number one favorite of the FIFA Golden Globe Awards.

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

Messi has been holding back for so many years, is waiting for such an opportunity, 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 jumped in. After three consecutive Manchester United players, he broke into the penalty area, shot low near the penalty point, broke Manchester United's goal, and evened the score for Barcelona. Than one.

After changing sides in the second half, Messi was still very active.

After creating consecutive opportunities for Pedro and Villa but failing to score goals, Messi and Iniesta completed two consecutive wall-to-wall coordination in a small range in the 73rd minute. , The Manchester United defensive players are playing around.

Finally Messi kicked in the penalty area and broke Van der Sar's goal again.

Two to one, Barcelona reversed Manchester United!

Then despite how Manchester United counterattacked, Ferguson even made a desperate move, but Barcelona still held the score of two to one.

After ninety minutes of hard work between the two sides, it was Barcelona that relied on Messi's score to score twice, reversing Manchester United two to one and winning the Champions League this season.

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

On the contrary, Barcelona, ​​although initially frustrated, but with Messi’s outstanding performance, successfully reversed Manchester United and won the Champions League.

Head coach Mourinho was even more excited to rush to the sidelines after sliding on his knees, then jumped up and waved his fists non-stop, 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 Su Dong in the Champions League this season.

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