Chapter 618 - A new record for points in a single season
Chelsea's away league game against Newcastle United ended at 8pm and the entire Chelsea squad were back to London at 12pm, but surprisingly, the exit at Gatwick Airport was still crowded with Chelsea fans in blue shirts.
"Welcome home heroes!" "Chelsea are champions! "You guys are amazing!! ”
Slogans are endless.
Many good-looking and hot-looking female fans also held bouquets to give to players who have made outstanding contributions this season, among which Iroh received the most bouquets from female fans.
Fortunately, Iroh is now a world-class superstar, and he has seen a lot of scenes like this, and there is no such thing as when he first debuted......
The end of this league game meant that Chelsea had plenty of time to rest and adjust, so after the disbandment at London Gatwick Airport, Mourinho gave his players a rare day off to relax.
The league has come to an early end for the Chelsea squad, with the FA Cup final at the new Wembley Stadium on the 16th and the Champions League final at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow on the 22nd.
However, it was clear that only the Champions League final in Moscow on the evening of the 22nd was challenging for Chelsea, with the FA Cup final against Portsmouth six days ago being more of a warm-up game for Chelsea ahead of the Champions League final.
The next day, all eyes were on Chelsea's league points, with 32 wins and five draws in 37 league games, which means that their total of 101 points has surpassed the 1978-1979 Liverpool record of 98 points in the English top flight, but at that time there were 22 teams in the English top flight and four more league games, so Chelsea's 100 points this season are more convincing.
And this single-season points record is also the points record of the top five European leagues, so it can be said that ...... This season's Chelsea are legendary!
Almost all of Europe's mainstream media has been reporting on Chelsea.
"It's really unimaginable that Chelsea have achieved 101 league points before the season has ended safely, which is really incredible, but in this point that only appears in the mind actually appears in the real world, I have to say that this season's Chelsea table is fantastic! Their reach to finals in all seasons has also become normal, and they are currently the team with the most goals scored and conceded the fewest in Europe's top five leagues...... Such a stable team will definitely bring them the ending they want......"
Torino Sport headline 'new single-season points record'
"If I knew that Chelsea could have such a great result this season, I firmly believe that Ai, the world's most expensive player, will be robbed by countless giants! Although 60 million pounds is a lot, there is no shortage of wealthy clubs in the world, such as Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich...... It is believed that when the summer transfer window opens, Ai, who joined Chelsea at a sky-high price last season, will once again become a favorite in the transfer market......"
A selection of Bild headlines.
'There hasn't been much change in the Chelsea squad this season, but why is there such a change in results? The reason is simple...... Because in the summer transfer window before this season, Chelsea paid 60 million pounds to buy the first person in football today - Ai! No one could have imagined that he would integrate into the team so quickly that he would ride on a rocket, helping Chelsea to the Community Shield title as soon as he joined the team, and then went on to score a staggering 42 goals in the league and 17 in the Champions League...... Such an impressive performance is enough to guarantee Chelsea's super high results, however, we still underestimate his sense of survival, and now Chelsea have 37 league games later, 32 wins, 5 draws, 0 defeats, and 101 points, which is an unthinkable point...... But he is really ......"
An excerpt from a Premier League headline from Marca.
Everyone knows that the drastic change in Chelsea's results this season and last season is inextricably linked to Iro, so at the end of the season, it is inevitable that other big European teams will ask about his transfer possibilities......
But Iroh's response to this was straightforward - no! The reason is that he has just arrived at Chelsea for a season and there is no reason to leave!
Continuing to set a new transfer fee record? Getting a higher salary?
These are no longer too tempting for Iro, the first person in football today, rather than going around in circles, it is better to hold on to a city.
Unless......

Although the Premier League has yet to award the Premier League trophy to Chelsea, Chelsea fans have not been able to contain their passion and they are roaming the streets of London on the same day with homemade or purchased paper trophies.
It is worth mentioning that there are a lot of discordant pictures on the streets of London, London is an international metropolis, with the most Premier League teams in other counties in England, especially Fulham, who do not have a good relationship with Chelsea, they are obviously very unhappy with Chelsea's purchase and promotion to the new Premier League giants after being bought by Abramovich, so seeing Chelsea fans celebrating wantonly in front of them is naturally to spoil it.
Coupled with the fact that the fans of the former king of London, Arsenal, are not happy, Chelsea fans have a tendency to be attacked by fans of other Premier League clubs in London, but fortunately, the police reserve in London is sufficient, and it seems that they have unprecedented foresight in the face of riots and chaos, and always intervene at the first moment of conflict, so as to arrest the well-known football hooligans and avoid unnecessary incidents.
Iello originally wanted to take advantage of the rest of the day to have a good day in London, the last London Motor Show did not happen, this time just made up, and I heard that this auto show will show the latest supercars, such as: Bugatti Veyron, Aston Martin, Lamborghini, Ferrari these top supercars......
For speed-oriented players, there will always be a resonance for supercars, perhaps...... They are all born to run fast.
But when he was out in the morning, he received a phone call from Andy Dunn, president of the English Journalists' Association, asking him to come to the headquarters of the Journalists' Association to receive the best player trophy from the PWA.
"The rare vacation is going to be gone again......" Iroh shook his head helplessly, hung up the phone and muttered.
The press conference held by the English Journalists Association this time was much grander than the last press conference held by the British Professional Players Union, and there were a lot more reporters involved.
Unlike the best players produced by the English Journalists' Association, which votes for the best players in the British Professional Footballers' Union, which is basically a working professional player in the UK, the Journalists Association of England is different, as they are all honorary professional journalists in England, and the selection is more fair and more influential.
"I have to be a footballer who can compete with Ai because they are lucky enough to witness his outstanding performance, and his tireless efforts combined with extraordinary imagination and strong finishing ability, such a footballer is enough to make your heart beat faster, and at the same time feel sad for his opponents, because playing against such opponents is tantamount to leaving the victory to God, and Ai standing next to me is an amazing talent...... Of course, he's already the best player in the world! Congratulations to ...... Be the best player of the 2007-2008 season voted by our Association of Journalists in England! ”
After a speech by Andy Dunn, president of the Association of Journalists in England, Iroh received the trophy from him as the best player in FWA.
Subsequently, the reporters present kept pressing the shutter in their hands.

Iello was the second person to win the PFA (Professional Footballers' Union) and FWA (Association of Journalists in England) double Player of the Year award in 2003-2004, when Henry was unbeaten in 49 league games in two seasons.
However, Iello won a much larger vote than Henry in 2003-2004, 87%! 9% better than Cristiano Ronaldo and 4% against Cesc Fabregas
If nothing else, the next day's British media headlines will be Elo......
After leaving the headquarters of the Journalists' Association, Iroh drove to the London International Motor Show Convention Center, where he wore sunglasses and a peaked cap to avoid unnecessary trouble.
But sometimes the results are not satisfactory, when Iello focused on the British local product Lotus project-eagle concept model, was discovered by a reporter from the Times who happened to be at the London International Motor Show conference center, and the result was ...... Caused a small part of the riot.
British fans are generally high, and there will not be a situation like in China where they keep chasing and intimacy when they see idols, just asking for autographs and group photos, and they will always give up when interested idols are physically tired or fatigued.
Of course, there is a high nature of su zhì will also appear low su zhì.
But under the control of the organizers of the auto show, it quickly calmed down.
And Iroh also looked at a new product for the rest of the time, the Ferrari F430, priced at 117,000 euros.
……
Chelsea's final round at home to Bolton Wanderers will focus on recuperating training for the FA Cup final at the new Wembley Stadium six days later.
Chelsea supporters, on the other hand, will be held in the period leading up to the home stadium as heads of fan organisations come together to plan the atmosphere after the game, when the awards will be presented...... They want to prove their love for the club with their actions!
The Chinese media also sent a large number of media to London to cover Chelsea's title-winning scene.
On 11 May 2008, all the British and Chinese media focused on Stamford Bridge in London, with Chelsea hosting Bolton.
