On May 24, the final round of the Premier League began.

Manchester City host Southampton in this round.

Chelsea's surprise defeat to West Bromwich Albion in the previous round saw Manchester City win the title one round earlier.

So before the start of the game, FA officials arrived at the Etihad Stadium with the league trophy to present the award to Manchester City after the game.

In other words, no matter how well Manchester City played, it would not affect their title ending.

As a result, Pep Guardiola continues to rotate his main players, still arranging a large number of substitutes and rotational players.

And Yaya Toure, Lampard, Demichelis, several veterans who are about to leave the team, are still qualified to start this game.

Frank Lampard continued his fine run from the previous game, opening the scoring in the 38th minute of the first half to give City the lead.

Sergio Aguero, who came on as a second-half substitute, scored the second goal for City in the 88th minute and ended the season with a 2-0 win at home to the club.

After the competition, the on-site staff quickly began to get busy, preparing to set up the podium for the next medal ceremony.

By the time City's players reappeared on the pitch with their new shirts, the podium was almost set.

FA officials waited around the podium with trophies, smiling and shaking hands with Manchester City players as they lined up to present the awards.

This is City's third Premier League title, and they have won three Premier League titles in the past four years since they won the league title in 2011-2012.

Even in the year they didn't win the championship, they finished second.

Such outstanding results have made the world realize that a new giant is rising.

And this giant club is likely to dominate the Premier League like Manchester United back then.

What outsiders don't know, though, is that City's sights are not just about a league title.

Their ambition is to become the top team in Europe like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich.

To achieve this, it is obviously not enough to rely on just a few league titles, they need to win more Champions League titles!

……

While Manchester City are lifting the league title at home, the rest of the Premier League's traditional giants are not having a good time.

At the Britannia Stadium in Stoke City, after the game, looking at the bright red 6:1 number frozen on the scoreboard, Liverpool's legendary captain, Gerrard, who has been with the team for nearly 20 years, couldn't help but sigh lightly.

It was his last game for Liverpool in the red shirt.

I wanted to use a victory as a farewell, but I didn't expect Liverpool, which was discouraged, to collapse in the first half.

From the first goal scored by the opponent in the 22nd minute of the game to the end of the first half, Stoke City scored five goals in succession, stunned the whole Liverpool team.

Although Liverpool launched a counter-attack in the second half and Gerrard scored a goal himself, he was still powerless.

At the last moment of the game, with a header from the tall Crouch breaking through the door of Liverpool again, Gerrard's curtain call in Liverpool turned into a tragedy, which has to be embarrassing.

Emirates Stadium, another long-lost old giant, Arsenal.

At the end of the match, Wenger clenched his fists excitedly and couldn't help but wave it hard.

Walcott's game has finally exploded!

He scored a hat-trick in the first half to show his talent to the fullest.

In addition to Walcott, Wilshire and others have also performed very well.

With a win in this game, Arsenal locked up third place in the league.

This time, the four maniacs not only succeeded in keeping four places, but also improved their position by one place, and they will not have to play in the Champions League qualifiers next year.

On top of that, Arsene Wenger is most excited about the fact that they are about to go to Wembley Stadium to play the FA Cup final.

With Manchester City, Chelsea, Manchester United and other giants knocked out of the competition, their opponents are the weaker Aston Villa.

This is Arsenal's best chance in 11 years, and as long as they beat Aston Villa, they will end an 11-year titleless streak!

Arsene Wenger seems to have seen the FA Cup winner beckoning to him, how can this not be exciting, how can it not be exciting?

Hull City's home stadium, Manchester United, who spent a lot of money on signings at the start of the season, ended their entire season with a chaotic and terrible game.

At the beginning of the season, they declared that they wanted to take revenge on Manchester City and regain the top spot in the Premier League, and the final result was fixed in fourth place in the league.

It's a little bit better than last year, at least next year in the Champions League.

However, how can it be satisfying to spend so much money to buy people, but only in exchange for such results?

And Di Maria, who joined the team with a transfer fee of 75 million euros but performed sluggishly, naturally received the greatest criticism.

He was substituted after just 23 minutes, and the cold, damp weather in Britain and the rough fouls of the Premier League made him in terrible form.

Di Maria regretted that he should not have come to Manchester United in the first place.

After a wasted year at Manchester United, he misses his time in Madrid immensely.

Thinking of this, Di Maria made up his mind that he would submit a transfer application and leave Manchester United.

As long as it's not a Premier League team, it doesn't matter where you go!

Di Maria was not the only one leaving, and after the game, United's board of directors couldn't wait to announce the sacking of Louis van Gaal and let the Dutchman pack up and get out.

After sacking Louis van Gaal, Manchester United immediately extended an invitation to Mourinho.

Mourinho, who was unemployed at home, did not hesitate and accepted the invitation as soon as possible, and the two sides quickly signed a contract.

Perhaps no one could have imagined that Jose Mourinho, who was inseparable from Alex Ferguson in the league, would one day become the manager of Old Trafford and Manchester United, right?

……

The noise of the outside world has nothing to do with Manchester City, and after the league ended, Pep Guardiola gave the players three days off to rest and share the joy of winning the title with their relatives and friends.

Once they are well rested, City will regroup and prepare for the Champions League final on 7 June.

Holidays are rare, and Lin Quan doesn't want to be tormented by the cold and damp weather in Manchester at home.

So I bought a plane ticket to the United States, ready to see Lily Collins.

Lily Collins was very surprised by Lin Quan's sudden visit.

She just watched the live broadcast of Manchester City's game yesterday and saw Lin Quan and his teammates lifting the championship trophy together, but she didn't expect that the next day, the other party appeared at her doorstep.

The two haven't seen each other for a long time, just like a long drought and a rainstorm, and dry firewood meets a fire......

……

May 27, Cleveland.

Game 4 of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals, the Cavaliers played at home against the Hawks.

Since the Cavaliers have won the match point 3-0 before, if the Cavaliers win this game, they will sweep the opponent and advance to the NBA Finals.

Affected by this, the small city of Cleveland, which is not large, has attracted countless Cavaliers fans, filling the Cavaliers' stadium.

Before the game, fans found two familiar figures among the more than 20,000 people.

"Isn't that the Premier League's Lin Huang? Why did he come to see the NBA? ”

"Who is that woman next to Emperor Lin? Looks like Audrey Hepburn! ”

"I know this woman, it seems to be called Lily Collins, it seems to be Lin Huang's girlfriend!"

"It seems that there is such a thing, she also went to the stadium to watch Lin Huang play."

Being reminded like this, more and more people reacted.

"Damn, Emperor Lin is really a winner in life, honor, money and women are there, envy me and wait!"

"I don't feel as good as Ronaldo, Ronaldo's speed of changing girlfriends is like changing clothes, and all of my girlfriends are supermodels, both in figure and appearance!"

……

Lin Quan and Lily Collins, who were in the stadium, naturally couldn't see the discussion among netizens.

The game hadn't started yet, and the two were talking to each other in a whisper.

"Who do you think will win?"

Lily Collins asked with a bit of an examining meaning.

Because of studying in the United States, she watched basketball more than football.

Therefore, she still knows some things about basketball.

As for Lin Quan, Lily Collins thinks that he is a football player and may not know much about the sport of basketball.

"Cavaliers, the Hawks can't restrain James, especially the triple-double of 37 points, 18 rebounds and 13 assists in the third game, which crushed their confidence.

You see, before the game even started, the Hawks players had solemn expressions and serious expressions, while the Cavaliers players looked relaxed. ”

Because of his height, although Lin Quan doesn't often play basketball, he still occasionally watches basketball games.

As for this game, he remembers that the Cavaliers swept the Hawks by a big score, and then broke into the finals and were sanctioned by the Warriors.

Lily Collins is actually more optimistic about the Cavaliers, but she knows that in a game of this caliber in the Eastern Conference Finals, the probability of a 4-0 occurrence is very low.

Even if the Cavaliers are strong, it is difficult to keep a clean sheet against the opponent, not to mention that the Hawks have a better record in the regular season than the Cavaliers, and they may not be without the power to fight.

However, once the game began, the situation was completely one-sided.

By the end of the first quarter, the Cavaliers had taken a huge 12-point lead.

In the second quarter, the Cavaliers went from strength to strength, extending their lead to 17 points.

By the end of the third quarter, the score had become 85:60 and the Cavaliers' lead had extended to 25 points.

Before the fourth quarter began, the game had already entered garbage time.

The dejected Hawks failed to perform a miracle in the fourth quarter, and finally lost to the Cavaliers 88-118 and were swept miserably.

After the game, Cavaliers fans were thrilled to reach the finals once again and challenge for their first championship in franchise history.

After the game, some fans who recognized Lin Quan at the scene ran to him for autographs.

Although football is not the most popular sport in North America, it is still watched by a large number of people.

As the hottest superstar in today's football, Lin Quan is still very well-known in North America.

Because there were too many people leaving the stadium, they couldn't get out for a while, so Lin Quan did not refuse, and patiently signed autographs for these North American fans.

On the other hand, as the biggest contributor to the victory, James was also surrounded by a large number of fans in the middle to ask for autographs.

He enjoys the feeling of being respected and loved, after all, he betrayed Cleveland in pursuit of a championship, and now he is back on the team, and his biggest concern is that the Cavaliers fans will not forgive him.

Thankfully, those fears didn't materialize, especially after he led the Cavaliers to the Finals once again, and he became a hero for Cleveland once again.

However, as he signed, James realized that something was not quite right.

Why are there so few fans surrounding him?

Shouldn't I be surrounded by water?

James looked around with a puzzled face, and soon found Lin Quan surrounded by a large group of people.

"Who is that person who has attracted so many fans?"

James was taken aback, walked over curiously, and then recognized who the man who was surrounded was.

"Are you, Lin?"

Although James doesn't love football as much as Kobe, his attention to the world's number one sport is not low at all.

He even paid for a stake in Liverpool a few years ago, and was rewarded handsomely.

It is precisely because of his investment in Liverpool that James often watches Premier League games, so he recognized at a glance that the person who was surrounded was Lin Quan.

Lin Quan also spotted James walking towards him, so he greeted:

"Hey LeBron, congratulations on your victory!"

"Hehe, thank you, I also want to congratulate you on winning the league championship!"

Although the friendship between the two is not very deep, as supergiants in football and basketball, they can be said to have been friends with each other for a long time.

James enthusiastically led Lin Quan to visit the Cavaliers' training ground, locker room and honor showroom, and presented Lin Quan with a basketball and a jersey signed by himself.

Lin Quan gave the other party a jersey and a football with his autograph.

After the visit, James sent an invitation to Lin Quan:

"Lin, this is a ticket to the finals, I hope to see you here again!"

The NBA Finals will have to be played several times, and if it drags on for a long time, it may be played for half a month.

This is different from the finals of soccer, which are basically a winner.

"Okay, I'll definitely come over when I have time, and I wish you and your team a successful start and win the championship trophy!"

"Haha, thank you for your blessings, and I also wish you a successful defense of your title and a second Champions League trophy!"

James laughed, looking confident.

Looking at James's confident appearance, Lin Quan couldn't help but sigh for him in his heart.

The Warriors are not so easy to deal with this season, and James, who wants to be a hero in Cleveland, is likely to be disappointed.

However, it doesn't have much to do with him, what he has to do is to seize his own opportunities.

So after the two took a group photo, they separated from each other and walked towards their respective stages.

Lin Quan did not stay long in North America, returning to Manchester City as soon as the three-day holiday arrived, and began preparations for the Champions League in ten days' time.
