"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 have been able to achieve outstanding results this season."
"We are a unit fighting side by side!"
"Here, I want to tell everyone that we will not be satisfied with the status quo. The results this season will not let us stop here. On the contrary, it will make us more confident, more calm, and more enterprising. We
I hope to achieve better results in the new season and repay everyone’s support and love.”
At the beginning of the celebration banquet, after Mubarak, Soriano, Begiristain and Guardiola took the stage to deliver speeches, Su Dong also took the stage to say a few words for the team as a representative of the team's locker room.
After being the captain for a year, Su Dong has become more and more stage-friendly.
Maybe it's because he talks too much in the locker room and faces the media and fans on behalf of the locker room more often. Now when he faces many guests, staff and teammates, he basically blurts it out without writing.
There were bursts 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 to perform better and achieve better results in the new season, whether in the Premier League
, whether in the Champions League or in domestic cup competitions, we can achieve great results again!"
Su Dong's last words won him the warmest applause from the audience.
He is becoming more and more important in the Manchester City dressing room, and in many cases his words are even more effective than Guardiola's.
De Bruyne, Courtois and others who attended Manchester City's celebration banquet for the first time also saw with their own eyes Sudong's influence in the Manchester City team. Whether it is in the locker room or in the club, it is very amazing.
…
There was nothing much to say in the awards ceremony that followed.
Su Dong had already made it clear at the beginning of the celebration banquet that as the captain of the team, he would not participate in any internal team award selections, not only this time, but also every time in the future.
.
Teammates were both surprised and delighted by Su Dong's decision.
Everyone knows that if Su Dong runs for the election, many awards will basically have nothing to do with them, and they will mostly accompany Su Dong.
But now that Su Dong has withdrawn, their opportunity has come.
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 into their account. Everyone was in a happy mood and smiled from ear to ear.
David Silva won the Player of the Season and Toni Kroos won the Rookie of the Season.
Although Toni Kroos is the main midfielder this season, in fact, he is only 21 years old and a proper rookie.
Although local rookies like Trippier and Sterling also performed well, they were still far behind Toni 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 quite good.
There are also various other awards, large and small. After they are awarded, almost all main players can get them. Substitutes and rotation players also have many awards. Even players who have not won an award will get one.
Consolation prize.
…
The entire celebration banquet ended in a festive atmosphere.
Not only the players, but also the coaches and staff also had their own awards and red envelopes, and everyone came away with a full harvest.
This can also be regarded as a manifestation of Manchester City's wealth.
Mansour is still willing to invest in this aspect, which is not much among European clubs.
The response from Manchester City players and employees has also been positive.
If the boss is willing to invest, players and employees will naturally be more passionate about their work.
After the team held a celebration banquet, Su Dong spent his own money to invite the entire team to a nightclub for a party.
On weekdays, players lead an ascetic life, and everyone is very self-disciplined. Now that the season is over, they can indulge a little bit. Su Dong himself does not drink alcohol and only drinks fruit juice, but he does not stop the players from drinking. He just requires it.
Appropriate amount.
This makes the players very satisfied.
After the carnival reached late at night, everyone left one after another.
…
After the celebration banquet, Manchester City was officially disbanded.
Su Dong did not take a vacation immediately, but continued to stay in Manchester to deal with some matters. At the same time, he flew to Germany and Italy to shoot two sponsor advertisements.
Nowadays, Su Dong is a very busy man. If you want to ask him to shoot an advertisement, you have to wait for a long time.
After returning, Su Dong went directly to London. Accompanied by Wang Chuqing, he went to Wembley Stadium to watch the Champions League final between Barcelona and Manchester United.
This is the last heavyweight game in European football this season.
Compared with Manchester United, which lost to Manchester City in both the Premier League and FA Cup, Barcelona, coached by Mourinho, defeated its arch-rival Real Madrid in the battle for the La Liga and Copa del Rey titles, winning both.
Championship trophy.
If they win the Champions League again this season, Barcelona will achieve the Triple Crown.
This has been Mourinho's pursuit since coaching Barcelona, and it has also been Messi's goal for many years.
Everyone can see that Messi wants to catch up with Su Dong and achieve what Su Dong accomplished in Barcelona.
As for Mourinho, from Porto to Chelsea to Barcelona, he has reached the Champions League finals several times, but failed every time.
This season is the third consecutive season that he and Barcelona have reached the Champions League final. If they fail to win the championship again, Mourinho will really collapse.
In the history of the Champions League, there have been many times in the history of reaching the Champions League finals for three consecutive years, but at least they won one championship. The worst was Valencia that year, which reached the Champions League finals for two consecutive years.
Neither of them won the championship, but in the third year, they missed the finals.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Therefore, Barcelona was very optimistic before the game.
Mourinho also seemed to have learned from Guardiola's use of Sudong when Manchester City played against Manchester United. In the final, Messi was arranged to play as a free agent, with Pedro and Villa as wingers, and the midfielder was
It's a combination of Xavi and Iniesta, with Yaya Toure trailing at the end.
This lineup allowed Barcelona to firmly control the ball, similar to Manchester City, while Messi kept dribbling the ball against Manchester United's defense, not only creating opportunities for Pedro and Villa, but also frequently hitting the goal.
.
With the experience of facing Manchester City before, Manchester United is obviously more experienced when facing Barcelona's style of play.
Ferguson adopted a three-midfield tactic, focusing on defending and actively counterattacking. In addition, it was at Wembley Stadium, which Manchester United is more familiar with. As a result, not long after Manchester United started, Rooney scored during a counterattack.
, opened the scoring 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 obviously adjusted.
The same style 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.
Su Dong really realized how much Mourinho's style of play restricted Barcelona players.
To put it simply, you can't let your hands and feet go, and every player seems to be playing with shackles.
Or maybe they all played very hard and were not happy at all.
If you are unable to use your own strength as you wish, you will naturally not be able to perform at your best.
"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 for long enough!"
Messi has had a big breakout this season, and a very important reason, as 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 Su Dong has joined have shown strong competitiveness in the Champions League, and Su Dong himself has been able to win the World Footballer of the Year and the Ballon d'Or award many times with his outstanding performance.
This season, Su Dong is unable to participate in the Champions League because of Manchester City.
Even if Manchester City finally wins the treble of Premier League, FA Cup and Europa League, Barcelona is now in La Liga and has the Copa del Rey in hand. As long as they win the Champions League, the value of these trebles will be greater than that of Manchester City.
, that is appropriate.
Messi will also be bound to become the number one favorite for the FIFA Ballon d'Or with this triple crown.
Su Dong scored more goals, but Messi's championship has a higher gold content.
Messi has been holding back for so many years, just waiting for such an opportunity, and he will definitely not miss it.
And Su Dong was not wrong.
Before the end of the first half, Messi suddenly dribbled the ball and stepped in. After passing three Manchester United players, he broke into the penalty area and shot low near the penalty spot, breaking Manchester United's goal and equalizing the score for Barcelona.
Compare one.
After changing sides in the second half, Messi was still very active.
After continuously creating opportunities for Pedro and Villa, but failing to score, Messi and Iniesta completed two consecutive wall-hitting collaborations in a small area in the 73rd minute.
, which made Manchester United's defensive players spin around.
In the end, Messi took a kick in the penalty area and scored Van der Sar's goal again.
Two to one, Barcelona reversed Manchester United!
No matter how Manchester United counterattacked and Ferguson even made a desperate move, Barcelona still held on to the score of 2-1.
After the two sides fought hard for 90 minutes, Barcelona finally relied on Messi's two goals to reverse Manchester United 2-1 and win this season's Champions League.
First they missed out on the Premier League, then the FA Cup, and now the Champions League. Manchester United went from fighting on the third front to winning nothing. Ferguson's frustration and helplessness are evident.
On the contrary, Barcelona, although they started to suffer setbacks, relied on Messi's outstanding performance to successfully reverse Manchester United and win the Champions League.
Head coach Mourinho was so excited that he rushed to the sidelines and knelt down, then jumped up and waved his fists constantly, venting his inner excitement and excitement. This was the first Champions League in his coaching career.
After missing out on the Champions League several times in a row, Mourinho finally got what he wanted!
The only fly in the ointment is that there is no Su Dong in this season's Champions League.
It would be even more perfect if we could win the Champions League on the back of Su Dong!
