Chapter 110: Curtain call

Madrid, Spain.

Florentino had just put down the phone and ended a conversation with Mendes.

Mendes has become the guest of honor of the president of Real Madrid, not only the current Florentino, but even the previous president Calderón has to have a good relationship with the Portuguese agent, because of one person, Cristiano Ronaldo. Calderón ended up annoying Ferguson because of this, but Florentino did what he failed to do, and now there is one more reason why Florentino has to get on good terms with Mendes: Mourinho.

Leaving Chelsea has temporarily removed the haughty Mourinho from Europe's attention, and Inter Milan has brought Mourinho back to the spotlight and now he has put himself in the spotlight of the world.

Even Florentino had his eyes on him.

Mendez is the line in between.

The Chelsea experience has taught Mourinho that sometimes he is not as important as he thinks he is. It is undoubtedly his honeymoon with Moratti now, just as he did with Abou when he first arrived in England to end United's monopoly on the Premier League, but this time, Mourinho does not intend to wait until then.

What's more, this is a great opportunity and a great opportunity to face the group of people in the world who are most prejudiced against him.

The two sides hit it off, and the progress was smooth.

Florentino pondered for a moment as he put down the phone, but instead of thinking about the conversation he had just had, he was thinking about Mendez as a person.

There aren't many agents in this world who can make Florentino take it so seriously, and Mendes is the first, and probably the only. Sometimes you have to admire the gaze of a person, Mendes's eye on the player side is well known, because there are countless examples, while on the coaching side, there is only one example, and that is because of the person the two sides talk about on the phone, Jose Mourinho. As for Scolari, it has nothing to do with the gaze, and now, Mendes undoubtedly has another classic stroke, and that is Linson.

One led the team to the Champions League final and the other to the Europa League final.

When thinking of Linsen, Florentino inevitably remembered that last year, when Baldano seemed to mention it when he was considering Pellegrini, but Linsen at that time was too junior after all. Although Mendes also mentioned it once, in the final analysis, he has never entered Real Madrid's field of vision at all. Now, he has qualified to enter Real Madrid's sights, but Florentino has a better goal.

It's still the same as last summer.

……

London, United Kingdom.

Like Florentino, Abou also took Mendes' recommendation as a joke last summer, and unlike Florentino, it was Barcelona and Pep Guardiola who snatched the Real Madrid title. And it was Manchester City who snatched the Chelsea title, it was Linsen.

When Chelsea lost to Liverpool in the previous round and sent Manchester City to the title, there were no regrets. But there is a hint of annoyance.

The person who is rejected by himself, defeats the reason for his own refusal.

Whoever it is, how much will be annoyed.

Now, Chelsea only have one indicator left to fight for. That's the FA Cup. This is undoubtedly at odds with Abou's expectations for Carlo Ancelotti, and the only consolation is that he has spent far less than Manchester City this season.

……

United Kingdom. Manchester.

For the first time in his life, Ferguson had to watch his neighbours celebrate the championship in a city that had been entirely his since he arrived.

It was a strange feeling, although he was indifferent to the media's questions.

In the eyes of many, Manchester City's opponent this season has actually been Chelsea and has nothing to do with Manchester United, but it is precisely because of this that Ferguson feels even worse.

Of course, Ferguson doesn't care about Manchester City's more titles, in terms of the number of league titles, this is only the third and first Premier League title in Manchester City's history, and Manchester United have won the title 18 times, just one step away from Ferguson's "ambition" to kick Liverpool off the throne.

Undoubtedly, the rise of Manchester City will increase the distance of Ferguson's step.

Ferguson remembered the previous conversation with Linsen, among the coaches who drank with him, the most distinctive personality was Mourinho, and the most Sven was Professor Wenger, but the inconspicuous one was Linsen. In the conversation, the young Chinese neither had the witty words of Mourinho, nor the rich knowledge of Wenger in the bland, from beginning to end, he asked and answered, neither humble nor arrogant, just like ......

Just like he was when he first took over Manchester United.

It's just that it is obvious that Lin Sen has done much better than him back then, of course, a large part of this is also that Lin Sen's advantages are far from what he could compare with back then.

Ferguson was not worried that Lin Sen, like himself back then, would also learn to pull a certain pair from the throne. Subjectively, Lin Sen definitely has this condition, and now he is much younger than Ferguson back then, but objectively, this is already an impossible thing to accomplish. Because, football, has bid farewell to the godfather era.

So, the problem is back to square one.

Manchester City will be a formidable rival for Manchester United for at least a few years, but Ferguson is running out of time at United, he is 68 years old, and he has already "reversed" his retirement in order to fulfill his dream.

Ferguson thought, perhaps, that he should have spent a little more time in the summer.

For several days after winning the championship, in addition to the club's scheduled celebrations, Lin Sen had to be interviewed by several media almost every day, and at first he did not exclude it, and he could be satisfied as much as possible, but as the team resumed training, even if he was in a good mood, he had to limit media interviews, but he was always open to enthusiastic fans who watched the training.

After all, compared to the media, the fans don't have much of an impact on the team's training.

On May 8, the Premier League curtain call.

Manchester City, who challenged Stoke City away, were treated with a traditional courtesy. Before the start of the game, Stoke City lined up at the exit of the players' tunnel to welcome Manchester City, who are the new league champions.

Queue up to welcome the champion.

This tradition is not mandatory by the FA, but originated in 1955, and the tradition of "creating zào" is actually a famous legend, that season Drake led Chelsea to win the first English League One title in the first round of the first round, when League One was already a top flight, and in the last game, Chelsea challenged Manchester United at Old Trafford, then Manchester United manager Sir Busby ordered all the players to line up at the entrance to welcome the Chelsea players. In order to express respect for the king.

Since then, this tradition has continued, and it is not unique to the Premier League, it is also a tradition in other leagues, and the most recent one that has impressed fans is that before the kick-off of the Spanish national derby two years ago, all the Barcelona players lined up to welcome Real Madrid, which became the talk of the talk of Real Madrid fans.

This little tidbit before the game has become the best embellishment of this goal battle. Manchester City, who have already won the championship, and Stoke City, who have no hope of relegation in Europe, both teams have no desire for this game, so the two teams without any baggage are focused on how to knock on the door of the opponent, and the game is exciting, with a total of six goals scored by both sides.

One person and half are all happy.

With the final round of matches over, the 09/10 Premier League season has come to an end.

Manchester City, which quickly completed the transformation with a huge investment that made the whole of Europe jaw-dropping, finally became the Premier League champion this season with a two-point advantage, and Ancelotti's Chelsea led for most of the season, and finally had to succumb to Manchester City, the two direct duels between the two sides are generally considered to be the key to the fate of the two teams this season, because one up, Chelsea directly gave Manchester City six points, even if Chelsea only draws one of them, this season's championship will belong to them, which from the side, It also shows the excellent overall record of Chelsea.

Unfortunately, there are no ifs and buts in football.

The rise of Manchester City, but also the pattern of the Premier League has undergone a reshuffle, among the four traditional giants, last season's runner-up Liverpool finally became a "victim", of course, the final sixth Liverpool barely caught the last train in Europe, the reason for the fall, the reason is not to blame Manchester City, more of their own problems, after the final round of games, although the Liverpool club has not officially announced, but in an interview, has been Liverpool's senior management privately said, Rafael Benitez will no longer be the Reds manager next season.

The four teams that will eventually qualify for the Champions League are Manchester City, Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal, with Arsene Wenger still unable to escape the fate of fourth place, who will start the new season in Champions League qualification. Tottenham, Liverpool and Aston Villa are fifth to seventh, while Burnley, Hull and Portsmouth are the three teams that have been relegated.

After ushering in the finale, before the official season selection of the Premier League, the Premier League Professional Players Association (PFA) took the lead in selecting the best team in the Premier League this season, the league champions and runners-up Manchester City and Chelsea became the big ones, respectively, three people were selected, Manchester City, the selected were Kompany, Robben and David Silva, the core of the defense Kompany has improved significantly this season, has replaced captain Dunn to become the mainstay of Manchester City's defense, Robben transferred from Real Madrid has become a key gentleman for Manchester City this season, and David Silva, He has become the heart of City's attack, reaching the peak of his career in goals and assists this season, and it is worth mentioning that Arjen Robben and David Silva are also favourites to be the best player in the Premier League this season.

Lin Sen naturally saw this list as well.

Compared with the controversial selection of Mr. So-and-so, the list of the players' union seems to be more fair, for no other reason than because there are not so many entanglements of interests. (To be continued......)
