The news caused a sensation all over the world.

The media of many countries frantically came to England to go to London or Liverpool for interviews, and they all wanted to get first-hand information, even if they were prepared for Zhang Tiehan's transfer, the value of 109 million euros was too high.

This is a record for the transfer value of a player.

Many outstanding stars are worth about a fraction of this transfer fee...... It's good to have a fraction, but the transfer of more than 100 million is still very shocking, and the whole European media has to sigh at Abramovich's generosity, he is really iron-hearted, and he wants to buy a real core player at any cost.

Abramovich wrote a check for more than 100 million yuan, wanting to buy core players for Chelsea - Ronaldinho and Zhang Tiehan, Barcelona Laporta directly rejected the deal, he left a sentence, "Ronaldinho is not something money can buy", and in the end Abramovich still impressed Liverpool with money.

Barcelona can refuse the temptation of 100 million euros, which may have something to do with the fact that they are a membership club, and they both have 100 million euros in income, but in fact, this money has to be invested in the club, and it will not generate much income for the team's top management.

Liverpool is different.

Liverpool is a listed club, the club's directors are all shares, and the sale of Zhang Tiehan will not only alleviate the club's financial problems, but also provide a lot of income to each shareholder, which is why they can't refuse the cheque from Chelsea.

In short, Zhang Tiehan's transfer is finalized.

In the afternoon, Zhang Tiehan came to the club with Camille and Zhang Zhenren, but he did not attend the press conference held by the club, but Zhang Zhenren and Liverpool's press officer answered reporters' questions together, and then Zhang Zhenren had to discuss the content of Zhang Tiehan's new contract with Chelsea, and then the three parties signed the transfer before it would take effect.

This will take at least a few more days.

But it is undeniable that this transfer has basically been reached.

Zhang Tiehan is also concerned. In fact, he has no intention of leaving Liverpool, but since Liverpool cannot refuse the temptation of Chelsea's cheque, there is no reason for him to stay here, and he can get a bigger contract at Chelsea, and he can't think of a reason to stay.

But whether you go or stay, there will always be a result.

It doesn't feel good to hang all the time. Now that the deal is about to be concluded, he has put his mind down and will try to make the final contribution to Liverpool in the next half month in Liverpool.

That's what he thinks.

In the next few days, the transfer of Zhang Tiehan was reported in Europe and around the world, which is definitely the biggest news at the moment, but Liverpool have already begun to prepare for the Champions League and FA Cup finals.

On 7 May, the final round of the Premier League was ushered in, and Liverpool's opponent was Portsmouth.

Benitez did not let Zhang Tiehan start. However, at the beginning of the second half, due to the team's delay in scoring, Benitez finally sent Zhang Tiehan, and Zhang Tiehan scored two goals in a row with two long-range shots within five minutes of playing.

This was also Zhang Tiehan's last two goals in the league.

With these two goals, Zhang Tiehan's league goal tally reached 29, surpassing Henry's 27. became the Premier League's top scorer, but it's a pity. He is out of the European Golden Boot, because Luca Toney, the goalscorer of Serie A club Florence, has scored 30 goals this season, and the Serie A league is not over yet, it is certain that this season's European Golden Boot belongs to Luca Toney.

This is a regrettable thing.

But for Zhang Tiehan. Even if he didn't win the European Golden Boot, his goals were still impressive, considering that he had already scored 18 goals in the Champions League, which is already a new personal record for individual goals in the Champions League, thanks to goals in the Champions League and the league. The media believes that Zhang Tiehan is enough to compete for various other personal honors, such as World Footballer of the Year.

It's not easy for a striker to compete for Footballer of the Year.

Most of the footballers over the years belong to the core of the midfield, or defenders, because this honor is the evaluation of the player as a whole, that is, more consideration is given to a player's contribution to the team, rather than just goals, so Ronaldinho can be named the World Footballer for two consecutive seasons, his goals are not the most, but his watch Xiàn has the greatest impact and contribution to Barcelona.

But in any case, the league is over.

Liverpool can prepare for the two finals with peace of mind, the first is the FA Cup, Liverpool can reach the FA Cup final, which many people did not expect, including Liverpool players and coaches, in fact, their minds are not on the FA Cup, there have been two previous Benitez have sent a semi-substitute lineup to play, in his opinion, the Champions League is much more important than the FA Cup, and giving up the FA Cup appropriately will also make Liverpool better in the Champions League.

didn't put in the game, but defeated Manchester United and Chelsea in a row, and entered the final, but the opponent was not strong in the final.

West Ham United.

This team just met Liverpool in the penultimate round, Zhang Tiehan did not play in that game, but in the end Liverpool still won, and now the two teams meet again in the FA Cup final, many media believe that the FA Cup is already in Liverpool's bag.

No matter how you look at it, West Ham will have a hard time shaking Liverpool.

However, Liverpool were low-key before the game, and before leaving for Cardiff, Liverpool did not give interviews, and in the last press conference, Benitez only talked about the team's preparations for the Champions League, and did not specifically mention the upcoming FA Cup final.

The reporters were somewhat disappointed.

On 6 May, Liverpool travelled to Cardiff and the FA Cup final was played the day after at Millennium Front.

It's not the first time Zhang Tiehan has been here.

Wigan Athletic met Arsenal in the Carabao Cup final two years ago, at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, so he was familiar with the area, and he and Steven Gerrard had been touring Cardiff the night before the game before returning to the hotel in the evening.

The next day, Liverpool were ready for the final.

The FA Cup final against West Ham United is just the appetizer for Liverpool at the end of the season, and although Benitez has sent all his main players to look like they are going to have a big game with West Ham United, whether it is the media, the fans, or even the two teams, they know that it will not be difficult for Liverpool to win the FA Cup.

Even West Ham boss Pardew said of the game before the game: "We need a little bit of luck if we want to win the FA Cup. ”

But everyone knows that West Ham's goal in the cup has been accomplished.

The reason why West Ham United are trying to get to the FA Cup final is to qualify for next season's European competitions, according to the Europa League system, the team that wins the English FA Cup can qualify for the first round of the League Cup the following year, if the team qualifies for the UEFA Champions League because of the league position, the FA Cup runners-up will replace the champions to qualify for the UEFA Cup, if the runners-up also have Champions League qualification. Then the places in this UEFA Cup will be given to other teams according to the English Premier League rankings.

Liverpool are third in the Premier League and have qualified for the Champions League, which means that West Ham have already secured a place in Europe next season, whether they win the FA Cup or not.

Of course, if they can beat Liverpool and win the FA Cup, West Ham United will not refuse.

Their goal is also to win the championship.

It's just that West Ham United knows that there is not much chance, they have played Liverpool twice this season, they have not been able to win home and away, and now they are coming to the Cardiff Millennium Stadium, facing the entire main team of Liverpool, it is too difficult for them to win the title.

The game was exactly what everyone thought.

With the enthusiastic cheers of local fans in Cardiff, as well as fans of Liverpool and West Ham United, the FA Cup final between Liverpool and West Ham United officially began.

From the start of the game, West Ham were constantly looking to attack in the hope of opening the scoring first.

In a direct cup elimination game, a draw is meaningless, they must score if they want to win, Pardew wanted to let the team score first, and Liverpool was caught off guard, but they failed to score, but Liverpool took advantage of West Ham's defense to score first.

It was Garcia who scored the goal, and after receiving a pass from Zhang Tiehan, he scored the ball with a lob shot.

It was the first ball of the game.

Then West Ham United looked very embarrassed, the strength was not as good as Liverpool, and the score was behind, they were a little flustered for a while, but Zhang Tiehan took the opportunity to knock on the door of West Ham United again with a header.

2:0.

There's not much suspense left at this point.

Even the West Ham players don't have much fighting spirit to speak of, to say that at the beginning of the game, they still wanted to create a zào miracle to beat Liverpool to win the FA Cup, but after two goals down, they couldn't see any hope of victory, especially when the opponent's attack was so fierce that they didn't even have a chance to breathe.

In the end, when the 90-minute game was over, the scoreboard was 4-0, and Liverpool won the FA Cup with a big win.

After the game, captain Steven Gerrard led the team to the rostrum to receive the award.

Next, everyone took a group photo and learned with the fans about the first meaningful title of the season, the English FA Cup.

The celebrations in Cardiff didn't last long, and an hour after the game, the whole team boarded their plane back to Liverpool, where thousands of Liverpool fans had been waiting for a long time.

Liverpool buses cruise around the city.

The evening belonged to Liverpool fans and the celebration lasted all day, for whom the FA Cup title was still quite important, it was the oldest competition in football history and had a special meaning for England fans.

But by the next day, Liverpool had forgotten about the FA Cup for the time being and began to prepare for the Champions League final. (To be continued......)
