()On May 15, 2004, the thirty-eighth round of the Premier League ended.
The 2003-04 Premier League season is completely over.
There was a lot to remember about the Premier League this season, but it was all overshadowed by one team.
Because a new myth was born in the Premier League.
Win the championship undefeated.
Arsenal had 26 wins and 12 draws in thirty-eight rounds of the league, completing an astonishing achievement. That was to win the championship undefeated.
Of course, Arsenal also has flaws this season.
The biggest flaw is their performance in the Champions League. When people were extremely optimistic about Arsenal, Arsenal fell behind. With a huge lead of 3-1 in the first round, they were defeated 2-0 by Monaco in the away game.
Knocked out by dark horse Monaco on away goals.
This surprised many people.
Because Arsenal's Champions League odds at that time were second only to last season's Champions League champion Milan. However, the first favorite Milan and the second favorite Arsenal both reversed.
After being eliminated from the Champions League, Arsenal was immediately eliminated from the FA Cup. From being on the verge of winning the Triple Crown, only the Premier League was left. Many media at the time believed that Arsenal might collapse.
It was really close to collapse.
After being eliminated from the FA Cup, Arsenal met Liverpool at home. Hyypia opened the scoring, and Henry equalized the score soon after. But Owen's goal gave Liverpool another 2-1 lead.
At the end of the first half, many people thought that Arsenal was going to be defeated on three fronts. Because Arsenal's performance in the first half was really poor.
Even Arsenal fans themselves have such worries.
The fear of being eliminated from the Champions League and FA Cup will undermine Arsenal's strength in the league.
But in the second half, Arsenal suddenly showed strength. First, Pires scored a goal. Then Henry made two consecutive long-distance runs. The score was fixed at 4-2.
Arsenal finally kept the league.
After reversing Liverpool, Arsenal's performance continued to be strong and they never lost again in the league.
Completed the undefeated championship.
Many media have forgotten how to ridicule Arsenal when Arsenal was just eliminated from the Champions League, and how to say that Arsenal would be defeated in three fronts. Unexpectedly, at the end of the season, they started to express how great Arsenal is.
And it's not just the English media.
Many European media also spoke highly of Arsenal's unbeaten win.
indeed.
In today's European football, winning the championship undefeated is becoming more and more difficult. Especially in the major European leagues, this possibility is getting lower and lower. Therefore, Arsenal's undefeated championship makes people
Such a surprise.
The Premier League is over.
But Su Yun's mission is not over yet.
Because the Champions League final is still waiting for Su Yun.
There are still about two weeks to go.
…………
Other clubs in the Premier League are already on vacation. Players have gone on vacation. But Chelsea players are not on vacation. They are stepping up preparations for the most important game of the season.
Champions League final match.
Chelsea players are not envious of other players who have already taken vacation. On the contrary, players all over the world are envious of Chelsea players who have not taken vacation yet.
Su Yundu was already ready to leave London and rush to Schalke.
Just before preparing to leave for Schalke, Kenyon found Su Yun.
"Su, good thing."
Kenyon is a person who is indifferent to mood and anger. If you see him smiling, he may not necessarily be happy. His smile is at most a polite character. Kenyon usually has a sullen face.
You can't tell anything from his face at all. But having a sullen face doesn't mean he is unhappy.
That's the kind of person he is.
This time is no exception.
He said something happy, but his facial expression was very stiff. You couldn't tell that he was happy at all.
If he hadn't said something good, you would have thought he was angry.
"What's the matter?"
Su Yun knew that Kenyon was very busy right now. If there was nothing good going on, he would not come here to see Su Yun.
"Su, I have already settled Ashley Cole's transfer."
"real?"
This news is indeed good news.
Playing against high-level European teams, Su Yun increasingly felt that Solin had many problems. Although he is also one of the better left backs in European football, he does have big problems with defensive skills.
Su Yun wants to build the best team in Europe.
In the past, I could only search slowly.
But since he got money, Su Yun's ambitions have also expanded.
money.
Money is really a good thing. You can wave your check and buy players at will in European football. It is indeed difficult to buy the main players of the rich teams. But there is no problem with the main players of the strong teams.
Because there is money.
Even those wealthy families cannot afford it if they have enough money.
This is what money does in football.
As long as you dare to spend money, there is basically no player that cannot be bought. Except for some pillars of wealthy clubs, other players can be bought as long as you have money.
This is money.
Money is the boss.
Ashley Cole.
Once Ashley Cole is captured, the left attacking power composed of Ashley Cole and Duff will become the envy of the entire European football world.
It will make the entire European football world feel scared.
Of course the same goes for defense.
When Zahavi told Su Yun that he would be able to complete the transfer of Ashley Cole, Su Yun still thought it was a fantasy.
That's Arsenal.
As rivals in the same city, Arsenal and Chelsea do not have the same relationship as Tottenham and Arsenal, but their relationship is not very good. In particular, Bates and David Dunn are the two people with the worst relationship in the entire British football world.
How is it possible to buy players from their youth training?
But Zahavi told Su Yun that anything is possible in the world. Sure enough, within one year, Ashley Cole was solved.
"How much?"
Su Yun immediately thought of this problem.
Ashley Cole, this is Arsenal’s treasure.
It will definitely not be easy to get him. Su Yun believes that even if Kenyon takes action himself, the transfer fee will definitely not be cheap.
"Twenty-eight million pounds."
Kenyon's words were calm.
But it shocked Su Yun.
Twenty-eight million pounds. If converted into euros, that's more than 40 million euros. Spending so much money on a defender is definitely rare in Europe.
Only Serie A has done this kind of thing around the new century.
In the past, Su Yun envied Ferguson for buying Ferdinand and Veron, but now it is Su Yun who has started to make such big decisions.
good.
Very good.
It's just a bit too expensive.
But Su Yun doesn't care. It's not his own money anyway. Abramovich has plenty of money, with a net worth of more than 7 billion pounds, and tens of millions of pounds is just a drop in the bucket.
"Su, the club has spent a lot of money on Ashley Cole. In a five-year contract, Chelsea spent more than 50 million pounds on Ashley Cole."
It's really a big expense.
Because this time Kenyon offered Ashley Cole a weekly salary of 80,000 pounds and a five-year contract. It is currently the top contract among European defenders.
Su Yun smiled.
But Su Yun thought of one thing. "Peter, I hope this matter will not be known to the media before the Champions League final. I hope Arsenal will abide by it."
Buy Ashley Cole.
This move is obvious.
Twenty-eight million pounds, so much money definitely did not buy him to be a substitute. Since he is not a substitute, of course he is to be the main player. Sorin will either be a substitute, or leave Chelsea.
Su Yun cannot let this kind of thing affect the current Chelsea before the final.
Champions League final.
For Su Yun, this is not only about honor, but also about whether Su Yun can stay at Chelsea next season.
Although Chelsea players and fans now support Su Yun, Chelsea is now Abramovich's Chelsea. He has invested so much money and what he wants is the championship.
Chelsea only have one championship left this season.
Champions League champion.
If there is no Champions League championship, it will be a fatal blow to Su Yun.
Abu might fire Su Yun.
For the sake of his own position, Su Yun couldn't let anything go wrong in this game.
Adjusting the players' condition before the game is Su Yun's biggest task at the moment.
Kenyon nodded.
"Su, I have thought of this a long time ago. Don't worry, this matter was all discussed between me and David Dunn. Apart from the two of us, there are only two agents, Zahavi and Ashley Cole.
Man Barnett knows.”
"I have reached a consensus with David Dunn on this matter. We will announce the transfer at the end of June."
Su Yun was very satisfied with Kenyon.
This person is indeed very powerful.
He knows what Su Yun wants and what Chelsea needs.
"Thank you, Peter."
Kenyon shook his head. "It should be said that I want to thank you. As long as we win the Champions League, Chelsea's era will come. For a club, results are fundamental. If there are no results, people like me will
There’s nothing to do.”
"Peter, you think too simply. Arsenal won the championship undefeated this season."
By this time, the two of them were talking much more easily.
After hearing Su Yun's words, Kenyon finally showed a smile and said: "Su, I know there is a saying in China that when the moon waxes, it wanes, and when the water is full, it overflows. This is the case for Arsenal now. This season is the last time they will be high.
Chao."
"What didn't you feel when they sold Ashley Cole? Lack of money. Arsenal's current new stadium construction is very short of money, otherwise they wouldn't have sold Ashley Cole. You didn't have a good relationship with the big players.
We have fought with David Dunn, so we don’t know how good he is. If Arsenal were not short of money now, they would not sell Ashley Cole to us if we killed him."
"This is the best time."
Su Yun just smiled.
Su Yun didn't know what the future of Arsenal was. Sometimes Kenyon's words made sense, but sometimes he felt they didn't. But no matter which way it was, Su Yun didn't care.
Maybe.
Kenyon came today just to tell Su Yun the good news. He just said a few more words. He stood up and said to Su Yun: "Su, we are all waiting for you to help Chelsea win the most important honor."
