Chapter 433: Bonus and Salt
With the words of Wacott in the stadium, the Manchester City fans began to celebrate wildly.
They are full of joy for the team to win the championship and at the same time, they are looking forward to more titles in the future.
The entire Manchester City staff thanked the fans who were there.
Amid the cheers of the fans, Dunn received the trophy on behalf of Manchester City, and when he lifted the trophy, the atmosphere in the stadium reached a high level.
This moment belongs to Manchester City-
"This is City's second trophy of the season! At the start of the season, Manchester City had already won the Community Shield and now the League Cup. Manchester City manager Wan Sheng previously claimed in the media that Manchester City are aiming for all titles. All the trophies naturally include the FA Cup, the league and the Champions League, with Manchester City firmly in top spot so far, and it is no surprise that they are able to defend their league title again after a little over two months, having done so in the first two seasons. Manchester City also reached the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, and the form of winning the championship is still good. In the Champions League, Manchester City defeated Celtic 3-2 away in the first round and also stepped into the quarterfinals. ”
"Judging from Manchester City's results in all competitions, the manager Wan Sheng really didn't say big things, and they have hopes of winning the title in every competition."
"If they can achieve that, then at the end of the season, we can say that Manchester City have built a dynasty - winning the Premier League three years in a row, and by the third year winning all the titles of English teams, which is even more glorious than Manchester United's 99 treble......
"But while it's almost March and City have won the Carabao Cup, this is only the first step on their way to winning the title...... Relative to all the champions, they have just laid the groundwork and are just picking up their feet. ”
In the narrator's report, in the TV footage, Wan Sheng lifted the trophy and imprinted his lips on the trophy.
――――
After the award ceremony, the city returned to the hotel.
The night was supposed to be a time of revelry, but Wan Sheng still reminded everyone not to play too late, the season is still three months away, and they are still in the middle of the schedule, and in two days, they will play Everton in the league.
Under Wan Sheng's reminder, the players consciously went back to rest that night, and the next morning, Manchester City all flew back to Manchester.
Back in Manchester, the club also celebrated the Carabao Cup tribulation, with £1 million in prize money to be shared among the players.
1 million pounds is distributed among more than two dozen players, and each is only more than 40,000 pounds, but for those players with lower salaries, such as Boateng, Joe Hart, Moricio and others, it is a lot of income.
Even Manchester City's mid-level players, such as Sun Jihai, Martin Petrov and others, only earn between £20,000 and £40,000 a week, which is equivalent to their salary for one or two weeks.
So the prize money is still very tempting, at least it lifts the players' spirits a lot.
"As Mr. Wansheng said, our goals for this season are ambitious, unthinkable to many, but that's our goal, and the club's board has decided to set aside a sum of no less than £5 million as a reward for winning the title this season." ”
"As long as the team can win the league title, there is a £5 million reward. If you can still win the Champions League, an additional 8 million pounds will be awarded, that is, the prize money received by the Champions League champion, the club has nothing left, and all will be distributed to everyone. The prize money is not the main thing, but the club hopes to motivate everyone to work harder for glory in the competition......"
Sinal's statement was immediately supported by the players, as it was a 'big prize' from the club.
If the team can win the league and the Champions League, then there will be a whopping £13 million in prize money, which is enough to get an average of almost £500,000 per player.
£500,000 is enough to top a few months' earnings for some players.
No one is at odds with money, and the same is true for professional players, the more money the better.
However, in Wansheng's view, the club deserves to give the prize money, and the team can add more than 10 million euros to the club's TV broadcast revenue just by winning the league title.
The final prize money of the Champions League champion alone is 8 million euros, not counting the appearance fees of previous Champions League games, victory bonuses and the like, if all of them are counted together, the direct benefits of a Champions League champion to the club are at least more than 30 million euros, and the long-term benefits brought by honor and influence are even more, and it is a normal means to take one-third of the direct benefits as a bonus to motivate the team.
――――
Just as Manchester City is excited to start the road to the championship, the outside media has begun to report on Manchester City's victory.
Manchester City's victory over Manchester United to win the League Cup was not a surprise to the media and fans, so the championship report was just accompanied by a picture of lifting the trophy to illustrate Manchester City's victory, and the bigger news came from the score of the final.
4-1, Manchester United suffered a big defeat!
Manchester Sport believes this is a disgrace for Manchester United, "Manchester United lost to their local rivals by such a large margin, and it was in the League Cup final, which is the biggest humiliation in almost two decades. ”
"Manchester United lost trophies and lost dignity!"
Many media outlets have made the same report, arguing that Manchester United have lost face as 'Premier League hegemon'...... That is, Ronaldo's final goal barely brought a fig leaf to Manchester United......"
This sentence was mentioned by a lot of media.
While Manchester United was criticized, Cristiano Ronaldo was praised by the media because he was considered the only player who performed well at Manchester United.
In response to this problem, the media also interviewed Wansheng.
A reporter directly asked Wan Sheng to comment on Manchester United's performance, so Wan Sheng said what the media wanted him to say - praise C-Ronaldo.
'Cristiano Ronaldo is the only player who has performed well at Manchester United, sorry, I said that, but the score speaks for itself.
'Before 85 minutes we were four goals ahead and I thought that was the end of the game, but we didn't expect United to have Ronaldo, who was just as good as the first two Ronaldo, if not better, because he was much younger than them.
Hearing Wan Sheng say this, the media immediately smiled.
They just hope that the Chinese can praise Cristiano Ronaldo's performance to prove their judgment right.
The same is true for the pro-Manchester United media, who are always good to have a banner when Manchester United are not doing well, but then they are not happy if they win, "Actually, I suggested that Ronaldo should leave Manchester United, for the simple reason that he could not get honours at Manchester United. ”
"This season, we have absolute confidence to win the title, so Manchester United can only fight for second place in the league at best, they can't win the title. No top player doesn't want to win the title, and I'm sure Ronaldo is the same, I saw in the game that he has a winning spirit, but Manchester United can only bring him disappointment. ”
"I think he came to Manchester in 2003? My memory should be correct, from 2003 to now, almost 5 years, right? ”
Wan Sheng nodded his fingers and slowly calculated, "That's right, it's five years, five years, in a so-called 'Premier League hegemon', but he didn't win a decent championship, does he still have hope?" If he doesn't win this season, will he wait until next season? Or, next season? ”
"A lot of stars choose to move in order to win the title, Ronaldo is still young, but I think he can't wait for the title, so I suggest he go to other teams......"
After listening to Wan Sheng's words, Manchester United's media turned dark, they didn't expect this Chinese to actually suggest to their players to leave the team in person?
It's ...... Intolerable!
But the media that support Manchester City and the neutral media don't care so much, this is big news in their eyes, so one of the media immediately asked, "Mr. Wan Sheng, which team do you think Ronaldo will go to win the championship?" ”
"First of all, I must say that I admire him! He's a genius, he's outstanding. Wan Sheng repeatedly emphasized, "I think no football coach in the world will refuse such a genius." So, if he chooses to come to Manchester City, I'd welcome it. ”
"Of course, we are rivals for Manchester United, and I guess Sir Alex Ferguson would not want to sell his players to a rival, so I would suggest he go to Spain, he has the best skills and explosiveness in the world, and I believe he will definitely find his place in Spain."
Wan Sheng left after speaking, but his words were enough for the media to recall.
Spain?
Real Madrid has always been interested in Cristiano Ronaldo and has expressed their hope on more than one occasion that Cristiano Ronaldo can join.
What is certain is that Cristiano Ronaldo is very likely to join Real Madrid in the future, and the Spanish media have reported more than once that Cristiano Ronaldo has become Real Madrid's first target in 2008.
At Cristiano Ronaldo's home, there is also a voice that has publicly expressed its support for this future transfer.
This supporter is C-Ronaldo's mother, Dorores.
Just last month, Dorores was visited by the Spanish newspaper Ace in her hometown of Madeira, and in addition to being willing to show off a composite photo of Cristiano Ronaldo wearing a Real Madrid shirt, she also unmistakably expressed her wish, "I hope that one day I can go to Madrid." ”
Dorores's words always matter. If Cristiano Ronaldo is obedient, then he will have only one destination in the future, and that is Real Madrid. ”
"As" newspaper said.
In an interview, when reporters talked about Real Madrid, Dorores's eyes instantly brightened, and she praised, "Real Madrid is my favorite team, this is the best team in the world." If one day we leave England, my first wish would be to go to Madrid. ”
Dorores took a composite photo of C-Ronaldo wearing a Real Madrid shirt from the newspaper As, and further vowed, "I don't want to not see my son playing at Real Madrid until I die, if my dream is fulfilled, then I can die blindly." ”
So when will my son join Real Madrid?
"At present, the possibility is not very large, but there will definitely be a drama in two years!" She even had her plans in mind: "If my son goes to Madrid, I'm going to live with him, because Madrid is a city I love so much." ”
C-Ronaldo is obviously a very obedient child, especially listening to his mother. Every step of Cristiano Ronaldo's career is inseparable from his mother's guidance.
When Ronaldo was 9 years old, his father advocated for his son to join Maritim Club, and Ronaldo himself preferred this club, but Ronaldo's mother and grandfather wanted him to join the national club, and in the end, C. Ronaldo joined the national club.
At the age of 14, Cristiano Ronaldo was faced with the choice of joining Benfica or Sporting Lisbon, and in the end, Doroles let his son join the latter, and when many Premier League clubs wanted to recruit Ronaldo, Doroelis let his son choose Manchester United.
Now that Dorores has let her son go to Real Madrid, isn't it very likely that C-Ronaldo will join Real Madrid?
――――
In the media, C-Ronaldo was already very close to Real Madrid, and Wan Sheng's 'suggestion' was to pour salt into Manchester United's wounds.
When Manchester United coach Alex Ferguson recalled the past game, was still angry at the team's failure, and was pleased with C-Ronaldo's performance, the outside world has begun to talk about Wan Sheng's interview, reporting the news that C-Ronaldo is likely to transfer away in the summer.
It is said that the old Scottish man immediately tore the newspaper in his hand to shreds, and the angry look on his face sent chills down the hearts of David Gill.
The old Scottish man immediately launched a "revenge", he said of Manchester City in front of the media, "He is still worried about his team!" Manchester City are likely to fall apart this summer, they are really good, but they can't please so many good players! ”
Soon after, Cristiano Ronaldo also came out to clarify, "Now I just want to help the team achieve good results, and I haven't thought about transfers." I still have more than two years left on my contract with the team, so I don't need to think too much about it......" Cristiano Ronaldo expressed his heartfelt feelings, but no one knows what he thinks.
When Wan Sheng heard the news, he just smiled and didn't say anything more.
The player is going to transfer, and as the manager, Wan Sheng is targeted by various clubs, and just the day before the match with Everton, the Spanish media linked Wan Sheng's name to Real Madrid. (To be continued.) )
