Players from both teams returned to the locker room one after another.
But the Amazon Arena is getting busier.
The Premier League has already delivered the championship trophy. After the game was over and the players left the field, the staff immediately entered the field to arrange the podium. At the same time, they also set aside an area in the stadium specifically for media reporters.
Photographed.
Media reporters from all over the world have gathered in this area, setting up a forest of long guns and short cannons, ready to prepare.
The first ones to appear were not Leeds United players, but first-team coaching staff, team doctors, analysts and other employees.
They were all wearing a white defending champion commemorative uniform designed by the high street brand River nd. They walked out of the players' tunnel and lined up in a row on the sidelines.
No one expected that there would be so many staff members of Leeds United's first team. There are more than thirty members of the coaching staff alone, plus the team medical team, analysis team, rehabilitation team and other working groups. The number of people came directly from the player tunnel.
, there were sixty or seventy people lined up on the podium in the middle of the stadium, which was absolutely amazing.
When Sky TV's live broadcast camera panned one by one, the commentators kept exclaiming.
The whole world knows that Leeds United's logistics support work is excellent, but they never imagined that Leeds United has so many people in the first team alone, and they only provide direct services to the first team, excluding others such as the methodology department and the big data center.
A key part that has been widely circulated.
The same scene had already appeared once during last season's Premier League championship ceremony. At that time, Leeds United did not win the championship at home, so there was no formation ceremony like tonight's.
So, tonight, Leeds United let the world see the team's behind-the-scenes heroes.
Most of them are not familiar to fans and the media, and perhaps even most of them are unknown, and outsiders cannot name them at all, but they are serving the team, pushing the team forward, and protecting it.
Pochettino took the players back to the dressing room, and they all changed into Leeds United defending champion commemorative jerseys.
When they came out again, they found Gao Shen already waiting quietly at the door of the locker room.
"Congratulations, Mauricio, great job!"
Gao Shen greeted Pochettino, first high-fiving him and then hugging him.
"Thank you, Gao." Pochettino said with a smile.
The high-level support brought him great confidence, especially from some guidance before the season, which benefited Pochettino a lot.
"I tried three defenders tonight. I still have a lot of ideas. I think we should find a time to have a meal together and have a good chat about this matter." Pochettino said excitedly.
Gao Shen smiled and nodded, "Okay, no problem, but now, you should go up and receive the award."
After saying that, Gao Shen pushed him outside.
The players also came out one after another, and when they saw Gao Shen, they all came over to give him high fives and hugs.
Gao Shen also shook hands with the players one by one and expressed his gratitude and congratulations to them.
"You did a great job, Leeds United and I are proud of you!"
This time, Leeds United's players were very complete, including young players such as Sancho, Foden, Joan Ameni, Declan Rice and other young players who had played very little time, and all got the opportunity to go on stage to receive the award.
These young players are undoubtedly extremely excited.
For them, going on stage to receive the championship trophy will be an unforgettable moment in their careers.
Especially if it’s the first time for many people.
Gao Shen also encouraged them one by one and hoped that they would continue their efforts.
…
After seeing off the last player, captain Vardy, who played the finale, Gao Shen turned around and walked back to the stands.
The reason why he came to the locker room to meet the players was because he didn't want to appear in front of the camera.
The Estadio Amazonas tonight belongs to Pochettino and his players.
When Gao Shen returned to the chairman's stand, Pochettino was already on the podium amid the cheers of the fans.
And just now, Fernando Lucas and Rudolf Borrell, who were sitting next to Gao Shen and watched the entire game with him, had already appeared in the stadium accompanied by the CEO of the Premier League, Suzanne Dinnerg.
.
Suzanne Dinnerg, dressed in red, is 51 years old and has more than 20 years of experience in the television industry.
The former CEO of the Premier League, Richard Scudmore, announced his resignation in November last year. Before that, he had been in charge of the Premier League for 20 years and made an indelible contribution to the global promotion of the Premier League.
.
After Scudmore left, the Premier League quickly established a five-member committee headed by Chelsea president Bruce Buck and entrusted it to a headhunting company to select presidential candidates for the Premier League.
The headhunting company recommended three candidates for the Premier League, namely Discovery Channel [Animal Planet] president Suzanne Dinnerg, BBC director Tim Davie, and ITV strategy director Tom Bates.
In the end, it was finalized at the Premier League summit and Suzanne Dinnerg was chosen.
The reason is quite simple. The globalization promoted by Richard Scudmore is going smoothly. The growth rate of overseas copyright sales of the Premier League is very obvious, with double-digit growth every year. But be prepared for a rainy day. The overseas market will be in
We will encounter bottlenecks in the next few years.
The Premier League has actually been deploying new media for a long time. For example, Leeds United's previous sponsor Amazon was very interested in the Premier League copyright, and Leeds United facilitated the purchase of part of the Premier League copyright for 400 million euros.
This project took place during the Scudmore period, but everyone knew it was the beginning.
Giants from Silicon Valley are coveting the rights to the Premier League. Data-based networks are changing people's lives, their habits of watching football games, and their way of socializing.
According to survey data, young fans today prefer to watch live games on their mobile phones.
Therefore, for the Premier League, promoting digital transformation and new media development will be the next strategy.
The headhunting company's investigation shows that Suzanne Dinnerg has very rich experience in this area.
Different from the impression of many people, the CEO of the Premier League is more like a steward, and the entire Premier League is owned by the 20 participating teams, but each team has a different voice within the league.
The reason is not difficult to understand. Many teams are aiming to avoid relegation and change very frequently. If they can participate this year, they may be replaced next year. Naturally, the wealthy teams will have a stronger say.
This is a bit like the difference between permanent directors and non-permanent directors.
Because of this, Susanna Dinnerg is very polite to club owners like Gao Shen and Su Qing. She came to Leeds early today to discuss the Premier League's digital transformation and new media strategy with Gao Shen, Lucas and others.
Some ideas.
The whole world knows that Leeds United is at the forefront of all teams in this regard and has the richest exploration experience.
Even Amazon, the current Internet partner of the Premier League, is a cooperation brokered by Leeds United and is a sponsor of Leeds United.
At this moment, Gao Shen was sitting in the stands, watching Suzanne Dinnerg awarding championship medals and the huge championship trophy to the coaches and players of Leeds United.
…
When captain Vardy raised the championship trophy high amidst the roars of his teammates, a wave of cheers erupted inside and outside the Amazon Stadium.
Not only are there 67,000 Leeds United fans inside the stadium, but at this moment, more than 300,000 fans have gathered outside the stadium near Elland Road, either through mobile phones or through Westfield Shopping Center.
watching the live broadcast of the game on the big screen.
When Vardy raised his head high, everyone inside and outside the stadium cheered in unison.
Not to mention how amazing that kind of momentum is!
Sitting in the stands, Gao Shen felt as if the suspended ceiling of the stadium was about to collapse.
This season, Leeds United not only won the defending Premier League championship, but also won the top scorer in the Premier League.
With 33 goals and 11 assists, Mbappe became the best player in Leeds United and the Premier League. He won the Premier League Player of the Season this season and also won the Golden Boot Award.
Mbappe's goals are 11 more than the second-placed Mane, Salah and Vardy.
This kind of scoring efficiency makes French forwards even more popular, and everyone has seen the tremendous transformation and progress that Mbappe has made during the year he stayed at Leeds United.
Whether it is in terms of shooting skills or personal ability, Mbappe is obviously more mature and more comfortable than he showed in the World Cup a year ago.
Today's French winger truly has the strength and aura of a superstar.
But as a result, everyone basically knows that it will be difficult for Leeds United to keep Mbappe.
In addition to the Golden Boot Award, this season's Golden Glove Award also belongs to Leeds United, and that is Brazil international goalkeeper Alisson.
The assist king was also won by Leeds United player Dembele. With 16 assists, he surpassed Hazard with 15 assists and became the assist king in the Premier League this season.
But it is a pity that although in the final stage of the season, Haaland scored goals in five consecutive appearances, and his momentum was unparalleled, but looking at his performance throughout the season, this young player finally ranked among the best young players.
In the competition, he lost to Raheem Sterling.
Originally, De Ligt was also a very strong contender, but unfortunately he failed to overtake Sterling.
As for Mbappe and Dembele, they have already won the Golden Boot Award and the assists title, so naturally they will not compete for the Rookie of the Year award.
Pochettino defeated Guardiola and won the Coach of the Season award.
In the best team of the season, the goalkeeper is Alisson, and the defense is Robertson, Laporte, De Ligt and Alexander-Arnold.
The midfielder is Milinkovic-Savic, Fernandinho and Bernardo Silva.
The forwards are Mbappe, Vardy and Sterling.
It is not difficult to see from this list that the two leading teams, Leeds United and Manchester City, basically cover eleven positions, and it is basically difficult for other teams to have players who can compete with them.
Even in the selection of the best team, Sterling beat Hazard and Dembele to be selected, which is somewhat controversial.
But there is no way, the Premier League awards have always been more inclined towards local players.
What's more, Leeds United has won so many awards, so naturally they don't care about a position in the best team.
