Although the awards were given just after the Manchester United game yesterday, the league is not over yet, and Tottenham will play Hull City away in the last round.
Facing Tottenham, who had just won the championship, Hull City were already inferior to themselves.
Tottenham had no intention of showing mercy and ended up with a super disparity of 7-1.
A perfect end to their season.
The Hull City fans were yelling and swearing in the stands, and they almost didn't start a fight with the Tottenham fans.
Tottenham players realized that something was wrong and did not dare to waste any time celebrating.
At the urging of head coach Pochettino, he changed his clothes and boarded the bus to run away.
They are the Premier League champions, so there is no need to conflict with a team that is about to be relegated.
In the car, Pochettino announced the route of the team's championship parade.
For the sake of convenience, the championship parade will simply be scheduled for tomorrow.
It will not affect their ability to participate in national team competition training, nor will it waste some players' time for vacation and rest.
"Boss, have you heard who the boss wants to buy?"
Mane, the chatty one in the team, pestered Pochettino for information.
The other players have their ears pricked up, this is about everyone's fate.
Pochettino shook his head: "Sorry, I don't know the decision of Marotta and the boss now. If nothing else happens, there will be strong reinforcements.
The boss attaches great importance to the results of the Champions League. I personally suggest that you don't relax too much when you are on vacation.
Otherwise, there won’t be a place for you when we come back.”
All the players looked at each other. Although they have excellent teammates in top teams, they often win.
But it is not without its shortcomings. The players on the team are not bad at all.
As long as your condition is not good or you get injured, you will lose your position immediately.
"Tou, don't worry, we will hold on to our position."
Mane was the first to express his stance, full of confidence.
This season he has become more and more impressive, and Liverpool fans almost hate Marotta to death.
Just a little bit, Mane is their winger!
Pochettino smiled at Mane. He valued Mane very much and many tactics revolved around his characteristics.
"Okay, I can't make 100% of the decision regarding the team's recruitment, but I hope to win the Champions League with you next season!"
Pochettino clapped his hands and said with a smile: "The most important thing for us to do now is to celebrate. We can play whatever we want. The boss will pay for it for us."
"Long live the boss!"
The players cheered and talked excitedly about their plans for the evening's celebrations.
…
Inside Chen Dongcheng's villa.
Marotta visited with several executives, and Isa had already stepped into the role.
After Chen Dongcheng's introduction, he politely greeted Marotta and the others.
Marotta understood Chen Dongcheng's intention of inserting Isha into the club and had no intention of resisting at all.
As a mature man, Marotta is very aware of the desire of these rich people to control their wealth.
The team belongs to Chen Dongcheng, and Marotta just wants to do his job with peace of mind and earn more wages.
"Boss, this season's signings have begun. I have decided to clear out a group of unsatisfactory players to improve the team's strength."
Marotta prepared a stack of documents with lists of players recommended by many scouts after following them this season.
Tottenham's scouting level is still very good in Europe.
Alli, Son Heung-min and Alderweireld are all outstanding candidates recommended by Tottenham scouts.
"Lao Ma, do you really like Shota now?"
Chen Dongcheng looked at the list and teased Marotta with a smile.
"Young players are cheap. As long as you find a good prospect, you can bring tens of millions of pounds to the team."
Marotta smiled: "Our scouts have been following them for a year.
Especially Sancho from Manchester City, scouts think he has the ability to challenge our right wing position.
He might even play as a shadow forward. In my opinion, Sancho has the potential to become the second Alli."
This review is truly extraordinary.
No matter how bad Ali's temper is, he has a household registration in England, and his performance this season is good, Ali's worth is rising steadily.
It is no exaggeration to say that if any team does not offer 50 to 60 million pounds, there is no way that Marotta can talk to them.
Both Sancho and Alli have English household registrations, and they both play in the frontcourt where it is easiest to excel.
A little bit of high-profile performance can be blown up to the sky by many media in England.
When it comes to praising their own players, the media in England are just as shameless as those in China.
Manchester City is similar to Tottenham in that they always bring in strong players and are very unfriendly to young players.
It is estimated that Sancho himself did not want to be involved in the Manchester City team, which prompted Manchester City to consider selling him.
"Eight million pounds? What's there to hesitate about?"
After reading the estimated transfer value, Chen Dongcheng looked at Marotta with some confusion.
"Boss, this is the price sold to teams outside the league. If we want to buy it, even if it is doubled, Manchester City will not sell it."
Marotta smiled and explained to Boss Chen: "If we want to win him, we need to approach it from two aspects."
"How?"
For example, Manchester City relies on the tycoons of the United Arab Emirates to fly 200 million, which is a basic operation.
How could it be sold to a rival in the same city for 8 million pounds?
Marotta said with a smile: "Manchester City has made great moves in the past few seasons. I heard that UEFA is watching them and may sanction them according to the Financial Fair Play Act. I think this is an opportunity."
The so-called Financial Fair Play Act is nothing more than UEFA's fear that tycoons like Chen Dongcheng will spend crazy money regardless of the team's revenue.
Some owners just want temporary pleasure and even borrow money from banks to buy players.
Realizing that something was wrong, the owner began to run away, and the team was unable to repay its debts, so it had no choice but to declare bankruptcy.
Similar to Manchester City, teams like Paris have always hated this bill.
To put it bluntly, it is a way to force poor players to restrict wealthy players.
If they are allowed to play like this, how many teams can afford such a high transfer fee.
I will definitely give my knees every minute and obediently give my hands to the players.
"From 2012 to 2016, Manchester City spent 700 million euros on signings alone. Even if the payment is spread over several years, it is not easy to offset the annual accounts.
If we offer a high enough price, I think they will agree."
Although the Financial Fair Play Act is harsh, it is not without countermeasures for this group of wealthy people with a bunch of think tanks.
On the one hand, it is to increase the team's sponsorship fees, and on the other hand, it is to sell players to balance the accounts.
Sponsorship fees are very watery, and Paris Saint-Germain often does this.
For example, the owner of Paris Saint-Germain asked the Qatar Tourism Authority to sign a four-year super contract with an annual sponsorship fee of 150 million euros.
In fact, the actual sponsorship fee paid is only 3 million euros per year.
But UEFA can't stop "commercial sponsorship" written in black and white.
I can only give a very unpleasant warning to Paris.
"Since Manchester City values Sancho at 8 million pounds, it shows that they are not particularly optimistic about Sancho."
"I plan to quote them 20 million pounds, leaving a floating space of 5 million pounds."
"After we win Sancho, we will loan him to the Bundesliga for training."
"We can provide a training fee, and I think many teams will be interested."
Marotta told his overall plan, and it was obvious that he was very optimistic about Sancho.
The budget given was already more than three times Manchester City's price tag.
Although they are domestic rivals, Manchester City would not mind making a deal with Tottenham if the price offered by Tottenham is particularly high.
After all, whoever makes money earns it. If a young player can be sold for 25 million pounds.
That would be enough for Manchester City to balance their tight accounts a little.
Who knows if UEFA will go crazy and make a fuss about their big signings in previous years.
If there is some kind of suspension, it will have a huge impact on the team.
"I will give you a budget of 30 million pounds to get rid of him."
Boss Chen is very generous and readily promises.
"I plan to offer Sancho a contract with a weekly salary of 35,000 pounds to express our optimism in him."
"Sancho's current annual salary is 900,000 pounds. We directly doubled his salary. Few young players can resist the temptation of a salary increase."
At this time, Marotta was like an old fox, calculating every aspect.
"Boss, please take a look at this acquisition plan."
Laos has to finalize the transfer of several players today, and Sancho is considered the future star that Lao Ma has finalized for Tottenham.
But I can only support and level up first, and I can't play for the team immediately.
Real reinforcement requires poaching key players from top teams.
Chen Dongcheng took a look at it, which contained details about Tottenham's acquisition of Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Oblak, and was a little surprised: "Are you still planning to poach Atletico Madrid's goalkeeper?"
Marotta smiled and said: "Boss, Loris is over thirty years old, and his strength will decline more and more.
I want to make a deal with Atletico Madrid and sell Lloris for 30 million euros, and we will pay an additional 60 million euros to trade for Oblak."
Oblak is recognized as the number one goalkeeper in Europe and one of the core players in Atletico Madrid.
"Although some fans may be dissatisfied with selling Lloris, out of consideration for the future of the team, Oblak is younger, more capable, and more suitable for us."
Marotta said it a bit ruthlessly, after all, Lloris has made a lot of contributions to the team.
But this is the other side of football, cold and ruthless.
Many players have understood this truth since they were young.
Very few stars stay with one team forever, and transactions happen all the time.
Any player is a bargaining chip, it just depends on whether you have enough value.
"Forget it, just use the liquidated damages clause and let Lloris make a choice, whether to stay in the team as a substitute goalkeeper or go to another team."
Chen Dongcheng sighed, he couldn't be as ruthless as Lao Ma.
Lao Ma is a veteran in the football circle and has long been accustomed to player transactions.
Marotta was not surprised and said with a smile: "I think Ugo will thank you."
"Are you sure Oblak will leave Atletico Madrid?" Chen Dongcheng was still a little hesitant.
Generally speaking, few goalkeepers choose to leave a team that has been fighting for many years, especially Atletico Madrid's performance is not bad.
"It will definitely happen, I assure you." Marotta smiled mysteriously.
