Chapter 1016 The King of the Premier League
"Tonight's Wembley Stadium belongs to Su Dong!"

This is when Sky Sports gave Su Dong the highest score of nine points after the game, and at the same time gave a very high evaluation without hesitation, thinking that Su Dong is the key factor for Manchester City to beat Liverpool tonight. This is another classic game belonging to Su Dong.

In the subsequent article commenting on the game, Sky Sports listed the many superstars that have emerged at Wembley Stadium in the past few years, from distant Premier League stars, to later Cantona, Alan Shearer and other stars, to Cristiano Ronaldo, Drogba, Gerrard, Lampard and other Premier League stars.

"Wembley is a sacred place for countless players and fans, because it has witnessed the birth of many legendary stars."

"Su Dong will undoubtedly become the next one, even the most dazzling one."

Sky Sports analysis believes that Manchester City's offense was restrained by Liverpool's defense. Although they have an advantage in strength and pass and control, they have not been able to convert this advantage into goals.

Su Dong's two goals are quite wonderful, all of which can be included in the classic goals of Wembley Stadium, and these two goals also brought Manchester City another FA Cup championship.

"In the history of Manchester City for more than 100 years, before Su Dong joined, they only won four FA Cup titles and two English top league titles. After Su Dong joined, Manchester City won the Premier League and the FA Cup for two consecutive seasons. He is leading the current Manchester City to create the pinnacle of club history."

In addition to Su Dong's high praise, Sky Sports also praised other Manchester City players. After all, Manchester City basically played at their own level throughout the game, and their performance was as stable as ever.

For Liverpool, Sky Sports' ratings are somewhat inconsistent. The defensive players basically scored well. Gerrard scored high in the frontcourt, but Suarez did not perform very well. His most threatening shot in the game was Carroll's shot after coming off the bench. It was very lethal, but that's all.

Sky Sports' evaluation of Suarez is that he is very capable, but needs a better partner and tactical environment.

Another young substitute player, Carroll, has received good reviews even though he has only been on the field for more than half an hour. He is considered to have continued his outstanding performance at the end of the season, and his prospects are worth looking forward to.

Sky Sports believes that after Manchester City won the League Cup, Premier League and FA Cup three national championships, they will point their swords to the Champions League final at the Allianz Arena in Munich.

But in this game, Manchester City still has an advantage in terms of strength. As long as they can continue to perform at a high level during this period, I believe it is not impossible to defeat Chelsea and win the first Champions League in the club's history.

After the FA Cup final, Su Dong, as the captain, was interviewed by many media reporters in the comprehensive interview area under the arrangement of the FA. He also mentioned the upcoming UEFA Champions League final at the Allianz Stadium.

Regarding the FA Cup championship in hand, Su Dong said that he would forget it when he walked out of the stadium.

"As far as I know, we will not arrange any official celebrations, and the club will not celebrate this championship too much. This is not because it is not important to us. On the contrary, every championship is the result of our efforts and is very important to us, especially our club's foundation is indeed relatively weak."

"The reason why we have to forget it is because we have another very important championship waiting in front of us. We can't be satisfied with the status quo, but we must actively prepare for the next challenge."

For tonight's game, Su Dong said that Liverpool is a respectable opponent, and they performed very tenaciously.

"Steven and I are good friends. He congratulated me just now. I also told him that he is a great midfielder. In football games, winners and losers are cruelly determined, but in my mind, he is also a winner."

Su Dong believes that Liverpool is a very tenacious and persistent team, which brought a lot of trouble to Manchester City in the game. The team won the game only after paying a considerable price.

"I think Liverpool is a very good whetstone. In this game, we exposed a lot of problems. We need to learn lessons in time to avoid similar problems in the next game, especially the most important final."

Regarding Manchester City, Su Dong said that the team played very well tonight and basically played the characteristics of Manchester City. Although some things are not enough, it also means that Manchester City still has great potential to tap.

"Judging from the average age of the team, we are a young team. Even among the [-] teams in the Premier League, we are still very young. This means that we can still improve and keep improving."

For the upcoming Champions League final opponent Chelsea, Su Dong also gave a very high evaluation, thinking that this team was completely like two different teams in the second half and the first half, playing different mental outlooks and football.

"I know, a lot of people say that Chelsea are old, the players are old, not united or something, but I never think that because if that is the case, it will be difficult for Chelsea to break through the group stage, and it will be difficult for Chelsea to reach the final."

"On the contrary, this is a team that is far underestimated. It is still able to advance to the final under the pressure of many problems such as aging and internal conflicts. I want to say that we must be mentally prepared for a tough battle. This may be our most difficult game so far this season."

Although he won Chelsea, Su Dong still expressed confidence, "I firmly believe that the team can win. This is our goal. We will play our best performance to win the final victory."

After Manchester City won the League Cup and the Premier League, they won the FA Cup, achieved the Triple Crown, and even had the opportunity to win the Champions League. At the same time, the British media are also reporting on the rise of Manchester City.

Behind Sudong's outstanding performance is the support of Manchester City's huge financial resources and the annual investment of hundreds of millions of funds from the Abu Dhabi consortium. Even so far, Manchester City has not found its own way to make profits. It is completely supported by the capital injection from the Middle East consortium.

The Guardian conducted financial statistics and believed that Manchester City's net investment in the transfer market in the past five years exceeded [-] million pounds, which not only included the investment of the Abu Dhabi consortium, but also included the investment during Thaksin's time.

But in this data, the transfer fee of Su Dong is not included, because Su Dong is a free transfer from Bayern Munich to Manchester City.

"In Su Dong's transfer, Manchester City did save a lot of money, but the problem is that the money was eventually converted into Su Dong's personal assets in the form of signing fees, and at the same time, he had to pay an astonishingly high annual salary and huge game bonuses, which will be reflected in Manchester City's financial statements."

The Guardian believes that the investment of Su Dong alone is almost equal to the entire Liverpool team.

This is the key to Manchester City's victory over Liverpool.

Is it worth it?
Judging from the results of the past two seasons, it is worth it.

Because after Su Dong came to Manchester City, he not only brought amazing scoring ability, which made Manchester City's offensive firepower become the top in Europe, but also allowed Manchester City to attract more first-line stars like Pepe, Marcelo, Tony Kroos, Courtois and Aguero, which greatly enhanced Manchester City's influence.

Not only that, Su Dong also relied on his astonishing influence in the world to drive the improvement of Manchester City's brand value.

"Now in the United States, Manchester City is one of the most well-known Premier League teams, not losing to Manchester United at all, and Su Dong has been the most popular football player in the United States since a few years ago, far surpassing Beckham and Henry who play in the American Major League."

The Guardian believes that what Su Dong brought to Manchester City is not only the results on the court, but also the commercial benefits off the court, as well as the potential benefits of the club's spiritual level.

"In the Manchester City team, everyone agrees that Su Dong is not lost to Guardiola at all, and even more important than Guardiola. Not only on the technical and tactical level, but also in the locker room management, Su Dong plays a pivotal and irreplaceable role."

The Guardian believes that the rise of Manchester City has become unstoppable from the moment Sudong joined, while the decline of Manchester United was doomed as early as when the Glazer family acquired Manchester United.

Starting from financing more than 5 million pounds into Manchester United in [-], by the end of December [-], the interest paid by Manchester United for the acquisition loan of the Glazer family reached an astonishing [-] million pounds.

Note that this is interest only.

So far, there are as many as 5000 million pounds in debt in Manchester United's account. This is like a heavy mountain, pressing on Manchester United's back, making Ferguson and Manchester United shy away from the transfer market. They only dare to introduce some high-quality and cheap young players.

According to the statistics of the Guardian, Manchester United's net investment in the transfer market in the past five years was only 5000 million pounds, which is only 1000 million pounds a year on average, which is similar to the investment of relegation teams. In contrast, Chelsea's 5000 million pounds, Liverpool's 500 million pounds, and Tottenham Hotspur's 700 million pounds in the same period.

Even teams such as Sunderland and Stoke City have more net investment than Manchester United.

On the one hand, Manchester City invested regardless of cost, and on the other hand, Manchester United’s shrinking clothes and dieting. Compared with the two, the Guardian believes that it is not surprising that Manchester City can beat Manchester United and win the Premier League championship. This is even a normal phenomenon in professional football.

The League Cup, the FA Cup, the Premier League, and even the future Champions League, Manchester City's championship is based on huge investment, while other Premier League teams don't even have half of Manchester City's.

And like Manchester United, it is not easy for Ferguson to be able to stay in the forefront of the Premier League with the investment of a relegation team.

Manchester City is the veritable king of the Premier League!
