Chapter 229 The Taste of a Champion

Chelsea fans have to pay attention to one more game. Chelsea's game is over, and they have to watch the live broadcast of Manchester United's game the next day.

Manchester United fans don't have to worry about it. They don't have to worry about other opponents. As long as they win this game, they will definitely win the league championship.

But perhaps because of this mentality, Manchester United's players seemed a little too excited during the game, or... too nervous.

If a ball can stop five meters away, isn't that considered stressful?

Everyone is thinking - if we win this game, we will win the Premier League for four consecutive years!

Fortunately, they are not so useless as they have never won a championship trophy. As the game progresses, the quality of Manchester United's players returns to the normal level little by little.

Before, they didn't even know how to send the football into the opponent's goal.

I have to say how happy it is that the team has several experienced veterans at this time. There is definitely no shortage of such multi-championed seniors in the Manchester United team. They gradually found the rhythm of the game, and Giggs' pass

Very capable.

Li Yu took the lead and rushed to the front. Although his teammate's cross was not a good opportunity for him, he still jumped up without hesitation and competed with the opponent's defender for the top.

"Bang!"

The two people collided with each other, but no one hit the ball.

Giggs' pass was a little too high.

In this game, although Sunderland did not score a goal, they currently have the upper hand. Many attacks threatened Edwin van der Sar's goal. Such a scene made Chelsea fans excited beside the TV. It seemed that the goal was just

Sooner or later, Chelsea may actually usher in a miracle.

If Sunderland can defeat Manchester United at home, the suspense of the championship will remain for one round. At least in terms of points, Manchester United has not guaranteed that they can definitely win the championship. Of course, the two teams are still tied at the same time. If this score continues,

The winner is still Manchester United.

Before the game, the media even said that as the second team of Manchester United, Sunderland will definitely give away at least one point from Big Brother in the game. Anyway, Sunderland is currently in the middle and lower reaches of the league standings and is completely a team.

A team that wants nothing.

Just as the people supporting Chelsea were still dreaming of unrealistic dreams, suddenly the situation on the field changed and the Manchester United people scored in the away game.

If those who support Chelsea were in the stands, they would definitely comment on this goal with huge boos. However, now they don't even have a chance to vent because they are not there. Many people have already shed tears.

Because although it was a goal, it was enough for Manchester United to score one point. In fact, the miracle Chelsea people wanted to see was already two goals away from them. It seemed unrealistic to expect Sunderland to score two more goals.

!

In the 36th minute, Manchester United's goal came belatedly.

"goooooooooooooooooooooooooal! A wonderful series of coordination, and it was Nani who scored the goal!!"

Giggs passed the ball from the left. Li Yu did not choose to stop the ball and directly sent the football into the penalty area. Rooney reluctantly stopped the ball and knocked back. Fletcher received the ball and dialed it to the right side of the penalty area. Nani shot the ball into the far corner from 12 yards.

!

Ferguson clenched his fists excitedly and stood up.

The excited Nani ran all the way, then plunged into the bench and hugged his teammates tightly.

This goal stabilized everyone's hearts. With the ball in hand, I have the championship!

"Haha! I know Chelsea people must be paying attention to this game at this time. I'm sorry to disappoint you! We scored first and we are ahead! The championship belongs to Manchester United, and the championship belongs to the Red Devils!"

Ancelotti knew that his team's final title hopes were likely to be dashed today.

The Old Trafford Stadium has long become a sea of ​​joy.

Although the game is still going on, all Manchester United fans did not stay in their seats. Instead, they stood up and jumped, sang and danced. The score on the big screen kept them extremely excited.

.

Great four consecutive championships. There is only one giant in the Premier League that dominates the Premier League, and that is Manchester United!

Premier League Champion!

"Manchester United! Manchester United! We are the champions! Manchester United! Manchester United! We are the champions!"

What happened that made everyone so excited, because in the second half of the game, Li Yu and Rooney each scored a goal for Manchester United. Manchester United had already led Sunderland 3:0 away from home, and the championship night was about to come!

"Li Yu has had an almost perfect season. He has achieved a lot in various competitions. So far, he has scored 33 goals in the league, which is only one goal short of the Premier League's single-season personal scoring record!

"

"The scoring records held by Andy Cole and Alan Shearer at the same time are likely to be tied or even surpassed by a 22-year-old player. Li Yu is launching the strongest impact on each record!"

"You have to know that this is only his second season at Manchester United. No one would have thought that he would make such great progress in two years. Manchester United is a magical place!"

The Manchester United fans in the stands could not wait to sing the song "We are the champions".

The singing never stopped. Sunderland's home stadium seemed to be a small dream theater today, and Manchester United fans were the owners here.

"The referee is looking at the clock, and there are three minutes of injury time... If you ask me to say, this injury time is meaningless at all. Sunderland has no chance to attack at all, and our players are not focused on the game. How about

Just blow the whistle to end the game!"

The DJ at Old Trafford Stadium said it right. Now the field is no longer "playing football". Manchester United has the ball at their feet, but no one is running forward. They are just kicking back and forth in the midfield.

All Manchester United players have raised their arms and cheered more than once.

When the Sunderland players saw that Manchester United was in possession of the ball, they stopped trying to grab it.

Players from both sides were basically standing on the court, and there was really no need for the referee to continue adding time.

On the sidelines, Manchester United's coaches and substitute players also stood on the sidelines, waiting for the whistle to sound before rushing into the field to cheer and celebrate the Premier League championship.

There was an excited smile that couldn't be concealed on everyone's face.

Compared with previous championships, this championship is extremely precious. In a Premier League season that has been lagging behind for a long time, for most of the season, Manchester United, which previously led the standings, played the role of a chaser!

"Ah... the referee blew the whistle to end the game! The game is over! We are the champions! We are the league champions!!" Rooney yelled desperately.

Even so, his voice was drowned out by the roar of the fans...

The players on the bench rushed onto the pitch, while the Manchester United players on the pitch raised their arms and cheered.

Li Yu and Rooney hugged each other tightly.

The two of them were the closest, so of course they went together.

"Congratulations to Manchester United, they are the champions of the English Premier League in the 2010 season! For them, this is an unparalleled season! Four consecutive championships, they once again created a mythical miracle!"

Chelsea people can only accept this reality. If they score in the last round, nothing will happen. They are destined to be the runner-up in the league this season, and the champion can only be Manchester United!

It can be said that one round early, the most attractive championship battle in the Premier League is over, but other suspense of the 2009-10 season will be revealed in the final round, the battle between Manchester City and Tottenham for the Champions League seats, but now it seems that Tottenham is undoubtedly

It is a leading position!

Manchester United's celebration did not last long, because the award ceremony had to wait until the last round of the league at Old Trafford, so the league management committee simply did not bring the trophy to the scene.

After the short celebration, the players returned to the locker room. Although the fans continued to sing in the stands outside...

"Champion! Champion! We are the champion!!"

Back in the locker room, everyone was still very excited. They were cheering, singing, and jumping.

A group of shirtless men were celebrating there.

"Ahahaha! Finally won the league championship!"

"This feeling is so wonderful!"

What's a celebration like this in England without great wine!

"For victory!"

"For the championship!" Everyone raised their glasses and drank.

Alex Ferguson folded his hands on his chest and sat on the coaching bench with a flushed face. He did not return to the break immediately, but sat alone in the stadium and savored this moment - Manchester United under his leadership.

Won an unprecedented four consecutive league titles, and then fulfilled the vow they made the year they stepped into Old Trafford - to knock Liverpool off the altar in their lifetime. With another league championship, they can win 19 league titles.

The championship beat Liverpool. Now he has finally fulfilled his original promise, and Manchester United has become a well-deserved league hegemon.

The old man remained silent in his own world without saying a word. At the subsequent press conference, reporters all noticed the old coach's somewhat red eyes. At the press conference, Ferguson was not as expected to win the team's prize.

After winning the championship, he was beaming with joy and made a speech with a proud look on his face.

What's going on?

Everyone can't understand why. It shouldn't be the Chelsea talent who is listless at this time, right?

"I think I should enjoy something different, like go see my horses!"

Sure enough, Sir Alex Ferguson led all the stars of Manchester United to have a carnival at the Horse Racing Festival. People's speculations were all over. The old man really went to watch the horse racing!

In the League Cup final in February this year, Owen scored a goal at New Wembley but was injured and was dismissed for the season. This Wednesday, in the first game of the "Chester May Racing Festival"

In the middle of the day, Irving once again experienced great joy and sorrow. During the competition, one of Irving's horses named Que was injured during the competition and failed.

Irving, who has invested heavily in this racecourse, said after the game: "I have invested a lot of money in horse racing. It is not easy to maintain it. Horse racing is a sport that costs money, and we haven't bought much yet.

As for the horses. We want to make this as perfect as possible, we don't want it to be a second-rate horse farm. So you need the best horses, the best facilities and the best trainers. It's like running a football team if

If you only have a team like Chester City, you can't expect Ferguson to be the manager, you have to start from scratch."

Many of Li Yu's Manchester United teammates and even coach Ferguson came to cheer for this prestigious horse racing festival. O'Shea and Nani had good luck in horse racing. Their favorite horse won the race, while Ferguson and Hargreave

Si also enjoyed a rare moment of relaxation and comfort in a tense season.

Unlike three years ago, Abramovich's Chelsea failed to regain the Premier League title from the Red Devils again. Although Ancelotti is not Mourinho, he has won Serie A and Champions League trophies from Juventus to Milan.

The Italian who has been on the battlefield obviously has his own unique side. The sacrifice of the Blues soldiers is also one of the key factors that keeps Stamford Bridge leading the standings most of the time. But back on the green field, strength is the fundamental factor that determines all results.

, Chelsea, whose total salary ranks first among the top four in the Premier League, relied on a group of capable players in their prime to allow the trophy to pass through their hands. This is somewhat ironic.

To put it bluntly, football is about "money". If a club wants to achieve good results, increasing investment is the most direct and effective way. Among the four major clubs in the Premier League, only Chelsea has achieved a deficit in recruitment throughout the season. This is also the most direct and effective way.

Bai Di explained why the Blues were only one step away from the championship at the end of the season!

Because Ferguson was dissatisfied with the bubble in the European transfer wave, after leaving Carlos Tevez and sending Cristiano Ronaldo for 80 million pounds, only the Ecuadorian Valencia worth 17 million pounds could be considered an effective signing; Smalling is worth a lot of money.

, but it is only a long-term investment. If you include the departed Campbell and many second-team players, the Red Devils’ total income in the transfer market exceeds 90 million pounds, approaching the 100 million mark. However, after two transfer windows, the Red Devils

Not even half of the investment in transfers has been spent. If the Glazer family had not restricted Ferguson's transfer budget, as people suspected, then the Scots would have every reason to review this after the end of the season.

If it is more "frugal" than the 2009-2010 season, Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger obviously has more say. The Arsenal only made two decent transactions throughout the season: the purchase of Vermaelen for 11 million pounds and the free recruitment in the winter.

Campbell, the veteran at home. In terms of cost-effectiveness alone, both of them are expected to be selected as the best signings of the season. However, the Gunners sent Adebayor and Toure, two mainstays in the front and backcourt, to Manchester City last summer, with an income of 42 million.

Pounds, even if the Emirates Stadium needs to repay the loan, a transfer surplus of 30 million pounds a season may be a bit excessive.

Liverpool is the team that is closest to a balance between transfer expenses and income. They have successively sent away Alonso, Arbeloa, Lieto, Dossena and Wolonin, with an income of more than 42 million pounds; they bought Glenn-

Johnson, Aquilani and Kyrgios just spent 40 million pounds on Benitez. Although the investment was considerable, of course it also just highlighted that the club’s American owners did not spend a penny on the Red Army’s signings.

They are all built at the expense of the team's strength.

As an Englishman, Johnson's worth is inevitably inflated; as for Aquilani's performance throughout the season, some people may find it inappropriate to say that he is a parallel importer, but the Italian is definitely not worthy of his high worth of 20 million pounds.

Drop, no exaggeration at all

There is only one Torres, and both Manchester City and Chelsea are keeping an eye on it; there is only one Gerrard, and the captain of the Red Army will be 30 years old at the end of this month; Benitez has already left, but no matter who comes next season, I am afraid there is no guarantee.

Make a meal without rice.

Tottenham and Manchester City have a deficit in the transfer market. They also directly overtook Liverpool and became a strong contender for the fourth Champions League ticket. Manchester City even went from an unknown team to a team with the help of Chief Mansour.

Next, became many famous names in Europe

Chelsea is the only team among the four giants that has invested more than its income. Zhirkov and Sturridge spent more than 23 million pounds on Abramovich, and the team only took away 4.5 million pounds worth of them.

Peruvian Pizarro

In addition, there is almost no transfer income to speak of. The 2009 World Professional Athletic Club Salary Survey Report released by ence is more illustrative of the problem. This survey report shows that the average job of each player in the Chelsea first team is as high as 69,000 pounds per week, located in

The fourth highest paid club in the world. This data is second only to Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​and even two places higher than the NBA championship Los Angeles Lakers. Manchester United only ranks 30th on this list.

As one of the biggest contributors to Chelsea's championship, Abramovich not only made the Blues the team with the highest salary among the four major Premier League clubs, but the British "Daily Mail" also reported in December last year that the Russians spent their own money to help the Blues return

Debts of up to 36 million pounds left by former boss Bates.

As soon as this news came out, the Chelsea generals, led by Lampard, expressed their loyalty to the boss and repay the favor with the championship. Blues insiders once told the media that the Russians privately revealed that the club's loan in Abramovich's name would never be used.

There is no need to repay. Counting private loans and investment in transfers, Abramovich’s stay at Chelsea

Spain's spending in recent years must be more than 1 billion pounds. No matter how lavish Sheikh Mansour is in spending, it will not be easy to catch up with this figure in a short time. Abramovich's debt repayment for the club not only represents a favor

, it also means that the Blues can go further in this summer's transfer market and make big signings.

Chelsea broke the Red Devils' monopoly on the Premier League. The Blues may be the only hope for the Premier League in the next ten years, but now they can only find some championship taste in the subsequent FA Cup final.
