From the man behind the football king to the football king.
Chapter 723 Three Cities
2019 5 Month 12 Day.
All ten games of the 38th and final round of the Premier League will kick off on time at 3 pm local time in London.
It was a little after 1 p.m., with almost two hours left before the game started, and Manchester United fans were already queuing up to enter the stadium.
The official website of Manchester United Club called on fans to come to the Millennium Stadium to cheer for the team, fill the stadium, and prepare to welcome the club to win the league title for the third time in a decade. This will be the 23rd time that Manchester United has won the English top league championship, and it will also be the 16th Premier League championship in the club's history.
This call from Manchester United's official website was sourly accused by some media as being boastful, because there was no need for the club to make the call at all, as all the tickets for the game had been sold out half a month ago.
Even the cheapest seats with poor locations and obstructed views have been hyped up to a high price of £200, but are still in short supply.
According to The Guardian's prediction, if Manchester United wins the championship on the day of the game, nearly 500,000 Manchester United fans from all over the world will flock to Cardiff City.
………………
As the undisputed overlord of the Premier League era, Manchester United is not only the Premier League team with the most fans, but even in the entire world of football, the number of fans of the Red Devils is also second to none. Only super giants like Real Madrid and Barcelona can barely compete with Manchester United.
Another point is that Manchester United enjoys the widest support among the British upper class.
Manchester United enjoys widespread support among British upper class society partly due to its historical achievements and influence.
Manchester United's history dates back to 1878, when it was originally an amateur team of railway workers. Despite its humble early days, the Munich air disaster in 1958 thrust Manchester United into the national and global spotlight.
Since then, Manchester United has rebuilt under the leadership of Sir Matt Busby and achieved great success, including victory in the 1968 European Cup, which has gradually made Manchester United a top team in England.
After entering the Premier League era, Manchester United, under the leadership of Sir Alex Ferguson, won 20 league titles in 13 years, becoming the undisputed overlord of the Premier League, and won two Champions League titles, truly becoming a world-class powerhouse and expanding Manchester United's influence to the whole world.
According to The Sun, the VIP box at the Millennium Stadium that evening will be filled with celebrities.
This is the foundation of a top football team!
………………
At two o'clock in the afternoon, one hour before the game started, Manchester United's bus arrived at the Millennium Stadium. They were warmly welcomed by the fans outside the stadium, and huge cheers resounded from the stadium.
The arrival of the team bus was also broadcast live on the big screen inside the stadium, which attracted huge cheers from the audience.
The team captain Bruno got off the car first, followed by De Gea, Harry Kane, Rashford, Mbappe, Kante, Maguire, Van Dijk, Luke Shaw and other players.
Mourinho and the coaching staff were the last to get off the car. The Manchester United coach did not accept any media interviews, but he made a "V" gesture to the camera, which immediately caused excited shouts from the fans at the scene and in front of the TV.
Then, the scene changed, and a police car led the way, followed by a vehicle with the English Football Association logo, slowly arriving at the Millennium Stadium. Several English Football Association staff got out of the car. One of them pushed a silver-gray travel safe out of the car, and several staff members guarded the safe and disappeared into the depths of the stadium corridor.
Then, the staff arrived at a house. One of them entered the code, opened the safe, took out a guy wearing a black hood, and placed it in the middle of the table.
The black mask was removed, revealing the true face inside: the Premier League championship trophy had arrived at the Millennium Stadium.
Seeing this scene, huge cheers echoed throughout the stadium.
………………
Mourinho is not addicted to smoking, but at this moment he was hiding in the bathroom of the stadium and smoking to relax his tense nerves.
Since taking over as Manchester United coach, although he has led the team to win numerous championships and honors in the three years and has become the undisputed top coach in world football, this has also put Mourinho under tremendous pressure.
As the head coach of Manchester United, a world-class football club, he is always in the spotlight of the world, and his every word and action is watched by the whole world.
Although he has achieved great success, it is a huge pressure for anyone.
This can also be clearly seen from his hair which is starting to turn gray.
Mourinho put out the half-smoked cigarette, turned on the tap, washed his face, wiped it with a towel, and turned back to the locker room.
Mourinho clapped his hands, signaling everyone to stop what they were doing and listen to him.
"Although the media are hyping this game up, saying how crucial and important it is, but..." Mourinho raised his voice and said loudly, "I still want to say that what they said is not entirely correct."
"This is our night of championships!" Mourinho waved his right fist, "It's that simple!"
After encouraging the players, Mourinho left the locker room, leaving it to the players.
Bruno started communicating with his teammates until someone knocked on the door of the locker room, reminding them that it was time to go out and prepare for the game.
At 2019:5 GMT on May 12, 15, amid huge cheers inside and outside the Millennium Stadium, the referee Anthony Taylor blew the whistle to start the game.
………………
"GOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!"
There was a huge cheer from the stands at Anfield.
Just in the 17th minute of the game, Liverpool led Wolves 1:0 thanks to Mane's goal.
On the field, Liverpool players were celebrating the goal enthusiastically; in the stands, 50,000 Liverpool fans were cheering loudly.
Klopp did not stand up. He sat in the coaching booth and turned his head to ask, "How is Manchester United doing?"
He did not ask about the situation at Manchester City. Before the game, Liverpool had one point more than Manchester City, which meant that as long as Liverpool won, they would definitely be ahead of Manchester City, so Klopp was only concerned about the situation at Manchester United.
"It's still 0:0 against Manchester United."
Klopp nodded but said nothing. The game had only started for 17 minutes and it was too early to say anything.
………………
Brighton Community Stadium.
"Liverpool scored a goal and the goal was scored by Mane," Arteta told Guardiola.
The Spanish bald man nodded expressionlessly, then asked, "What about Manchester United?"
Arteta said: "It's still 0:0."
Guardiola nodded and said nothing more.
Among the three teams, Manchester City is in the worst situation, and their conditions for winning the championship are very harsh: first of all, they have to hope that Manchester United cannot win, which is the most important prerequisite; then Liverpool cannot win either. In this case, Manchester City will win the championship if they win.
So, in practical terms, for Manchester City to win the championship, two conditions must be met at the same time: Manchester United does not win, and Liverpool does not win.
This is too difficult!
………………
Manchester City took the lead in the 28th minute.
At that time, Laporte dribbled forward and passed the ball to David Silva. Silva made a wonderful pass with his heel. Aguero, who successfully got out of offside, made a low shot from the upper left corner of the small penalty area. The ball passed between the legs of Brighton goalkeeper Ryan and went into the net.
Guardiola stood up and applauded.
"What's the score with Liverpool?" Guardiola asked Arteta.
He actually knew that Liverpool should still be leading 1:0, but he still wanted to ask, hoping to hear about sudden changes, such as Liverpool being equalized by Wolves.
"You asked me, it was 1:0 before." Arteta blinked his eyes, "Now it's 2:0, Mane scored twice."
Guardiola: …
Well, whether Liverpool is leading 1:0 or 2:0, it doesn’t mean much to Manchester City.
Of course, Guardiola still expects Wolves to fight back, the difference of two goals is not particularly large. Wolves can still give Manchester City and Guardiola certain expectations and fantasies.
作为本赛季英超赛场最大的黑马,狼队本赛季创造了不小冷门。第三轮他们就1:1逼平了曼城,第12轮则是1:1逼平了阿森纳,第15轮更是2:1击败了切尔西,第20轮又3:1击败了热刺,第30轮再度1:1逼平切尔西,第31轮又3:1击败了阿森纳……
This is a strong team.
What Guardiola is most worried about is Manchester United. If Manchester United wins, everything will be in vain.
And with Cardiff City's strength, it's really hard to expect anything...
………………
At the same time, Anfield Stadium was filled with cheers.
In the 31st minute of the game, Matip intercepted the ball, Arnold made a diagonal pass, and Mane headed the ball into the goal from the edge of the small penalty area, changing the score to 2:0.
This is Mane's 22nd league goal this season, tied with Salah for third in the Premier League scorer list, behind only Bruno and Harry Kane.
Liverpool fans were very excited. They were not only cheering for the team to expand its lead, but also because Manchester United was still tied with Cardiff City at 0:0 at the Millennium Stadium.
If Manchester United draws with their opponent, Liverpool will win the championship with a 2-point advantage.
Klopp was in a pretty good mood.
"It's still 0:0 for Manchester United," asked the famous German coach.
"Yes, 0:0," said the assistant who was listening to the live broadcast of the game with headphones on.
Suddenly, he frowned and said, "There's a goal, Manchester United scored a goal."
Klopp: …
Almost at the same time, Guardiola also asked Arteta what the score was on Manchester United's side.
Arteta said: "It was 0:0, which was good, but it became bad when you asked, and now it has become 1:0."
Guardiola: ... (I have a sentence MMP but I don’t know whether I should say it or not)
