Chapter 52: We Are the Champions!
Don't look at this bonus, it doesn't seem to be much, especially compared to the transfer fees of tens of millions at every turn, and the weekly salary of hundreds of thousands of big-name stars, this two million is pitiful.
But in fact, as a championship bonus, it is an additional reward that every player can share.
There will undoubtedly be a great boost to the morale and fighting spirit of the players.
This amount is also the limit that Levy, who has always "slammed the door", can bear.
You must know that the top salary in the Tottenham team is only 100,000.
The current weekly salary of the main forces is 350,000 yuan, even if it is divided by the whole team, it is quite considerable to calculate the share of 1 million per person.
"Okay, I'll tell the lads the good news when I get back."
In any case, it was a surprise that the club was able to add bonus money at this critical time.
"Really? That's great! ”
"There is not a single strong team in the back opponents, we will definitely win the championship!"
"That's it, when I get the bonus, I'll take my girlfriend to Spain for a vacation!"
"What Spain are you going to? I made an appointment with Toby to go to Italy, will you come with us? ”
After learning about the prize money, sure enough, the Tottenham players were overjoyed.
But Benjamin's brows furrowed unconsciously.
Something seems to be wrong? Thinking about where to go on vacation before the season is over?
How does this work?
"Jan, Toby, I just heard that you have made an appointment to go on vacation to Italy together?"
"Boss, do you want to join us too? Very welcome! ”
"No, I mean, you've doubled your training mission today!"
"Huh?! Spare us, Chief! ”
"Don't even think about it!"
……
A week later, in the 33rd round of the Premier League, the high-spirited Lily Army sat at home, defeating Black Cat Sunderland 5-1 to continue to lead the standings.
The FA Cup semi-finals were followed by Tottenham's away game against Wigan Athletic from the Championship.
In this game, Benjamin finally took out the [Ba Shen's Training Vest] that was eaten in the warehouse.
And just as he had expected, Adebayo was quietly equipped in pre-match training.
Then the Togolese striker sleepwalked throughout the first half, worse than when he played badly in the past, and it seems that luck is not on Benjamin's side.
In the first half, Kabul also gave a big gift to the opponents, and the home team scored a penalty to take a 1-0 lead.
This gave the Championship side hope of an upset to the FA Cup final.
However, Tottenham centre-back Kabourg made up for it in the second half, heading home from a corner to equalise.
In extra-time, second-half substitute Bam Adebayor Harry Kane scored a goal as Benjamin's side eliminated Wigan Athletic to advance to the final.
The FA Cup final will be played after the league schedule has been completed.
Three days later, they faced West Bromwich Albion away, and the bloomers, who were under relegation pressure, played extremely tenaciously.
Opposition players Sessegnon, Vidra and Brent scored in succession
Although Benjamin had to use the goal card on Tottenham's side, Harry Kane and Eriksen scored in succession, and Mane's cross led to an own goal from opposition centre-back Olsen.
But in the end, Tottenham were held to a 3-3 draw away from West Bromwich Albion.
Back at White Hart Lane at the weekend, the Lilies beat Fulham 3-1 to secure three points at home.
Tottenham then made it two away games in a row, with Benjamin leading the side to a 1-0 win over Sky City at Stoke.
A week later, they returned to London and narrowly beat West Ham United 1-0 away.
No one knows why the Hammers, who are worrying about relegation, will fight so fiercely in the game.
Even if it was a draw, Benjamin was ready to accept it, but the West Ham players played too dirty and shoveled Kyle Walker off the field.
In the final moments of the game, Benjamin silently pulled out a goal card, and Kane scored a goal to kill the opponent.
On May 11, 2014, the final round of the English Premier League started at 3 p.m. sharp.
Benjamin's side are three points ahead of second-placed Manchester City and will be crowned the new Premier League title by beating Aston Villa at home!
The Lilies were no slouch at home, with Harry Kane opening the scoring and Sadio Mane doubling the lead with a net-cut finish.
Finally, Eriksen's long-range shot from the edge of the box sealed the win!
Tottenham won the final game without any suspense!
With that, the 2013-14 Premier League season is over.
In a total of 38 league games, Tottenham Hotspur has 27 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses, accumulating 86 points.
They were followed by Manchester City with 83 points, Liverpool with 81 points and Chelsea with 79 points to finish second and third in the Premier League and qualify for next season's Champions League.
Tottenham's local rivals Arsenal are three points behind the Blues and in fifth place.
Manuel Pellegrini's Manchester City quickly adjusted their form after the defeat to Tottenham and kept the Premier League title in suspense until the final round of the league.
When referee Jonathan Moss blew the whistle for the end of the game, the White Hart Lane stadium was boiling!
The deafening cheers almost toppled the roof of the stadium.
What? The stadium has no roof? That's fine.
The chant of "We are the champions" came from all directions, and some of the Spurs fans in the stands even jumped off despite the danger.
The soldiers of the Lily Legion ran around the field wantonly, venting their excitement.
"Champion! We are the champions! ”
Kyle Walker ran to the sidelines, took off his jersey and threw it into the stands.
A group of Tottenham diehards in the stands competed for each other, and in the end, Walker's sweat-soaked and "manly" jersey was successfully won by a brave aunt.
"What are you going to do? Don't come here! ”
Tottenham manager Benjamin noticed the movement of the players and was surrounded by a group of Tottenham players with a look of horror.
With Harry Kane at the helm, Tottenham's players happily threw the manager aloft.
Looking at the circle of muscular hunks around him, Benjamin, who was thrown into the air, sighed resignedly, whatever.
If you win the championship today, let you celebrate.
When I get back to the training ground, I'll teach you a good lesson.
"Kane, Townsend, Ross ......"
Pretending to close his eyes, Benjamin still remembered in his heart which of the players who were involved in the "evil deeds" against him.
Levy, the club's president, who watched the whole game on the spot, also couldn't wait to come to the stadium from the box.
The irrepressible smile on the Jew's face was already indicative of his mood at the moment.
Looking at Benjamin, who was surrounded by the players, Levy also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Thanks to Ben, who gave Tottenham the title they dreamed of.
The thought of having to shell out a million pounds in prize money made Levy feel a little painful.
On second thought, maybe it was this million that brought Tottenham the first Premier League trophy in history?
It doesn't seem like a loss?
The club had already prepared for the championship celebrations, and some of the players who had only been left with a pair of underwear from the carnival had returned to the dressing room to change into clean shirts.
Premier League officials have also arrived at White Hart Lane in advance, and trophies and medals are already ready.
After Benjamin broke away from the crowd, he quietly tidied up his clothes on the side, and he still attached great importance to his image.
"How does it feel? Led the team to win the championship for the first time. ”
Levi walked up to Benjamin with a smile on his face.
Benjamin looked around the room, looked in at the Tottenham fans who were celebrating the victory, and replied with two simple words.
"That's good."
"yes, that's nice."
In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun shone from the sky, reflecting the White Hart Lane Stadium in golden light.
Daniel Levy was in a trance, as if he saw a glimmer of light emanating from Benjamin's body.
