The Godfather of Football

Mancini stood in the home team coaching area at the City Stadium, his hands in his trouser pockets, anxiously waiting for the goal.

Ferguson stood not far from him. The old Scottish man had a red face and a signature rosacea. He yelled at the players on the field from time to time. He was anxiously thinking about how to stop Manchester City from scoring.

Although the two were sworn enemies, and although Ferguson had joked before the game that he hoped to help Manchester City win the championship, in fact, he still tried his best in the game because it was his professional ethics.

Just like those so-called experts who thought Guardiola deliberately lost to Tottenham in the semi-finals were unanimously bombarded by people in the football world, you can question Guardiola's level and tactics, you can also question Guardiola's unforgivable mistakes, but you can't question his professional ethics.

There is no doubt that this is the bottom line of a head coach!

Ferguson certainly doesn't want Tottenham to win four consecutive titles, because this will create history in the English league, but more importantly, he can't violate his professional ethics, so he has to do his best to stop Manchester City, and if Manchester City finally wants to win the championship, then let it speak with its own strength.

However, the so-called embarrassment is not necessary at all, because the suspense has been lost since the game just started for 20 seconds!

Tottenham Hotspur played against Blackburn at home. In the 18th second, Ye Qiu's team relied on Ribery's breakthrough on the left to assist Cavani, and shot from close range to open the record for the team. Then Tottenham Hotspur bombarded all the way and established a 4:0 lead in the first half.

This was almost a one-sided game. Blackburn couldn't stop Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane.

Therefore, this game held at the Manchester City Stadium far in the north looks more like a statement of attitude and more like proving itself. Manchester City wants to tell everyone that they can beat Manchester United. The reason they can't win the championship is because Tottenham Hotspur is too strong.

Manchester United also wanted to prove themselves, telling people that they were keeping the minimum professional ethics and trying their best to snipe Manchester City.

The situation of the game in the far north of London kept coming to the City Stadium. Tottenham Hotspur continued to score goals even after the start of the second half, and established an absolute advantage of 7:0 as early as the 70th minute. This was already an amazing massacre.

But Manchester City could not find an effective way to break through Manchester United's defense. Mancini's ability to train defense is indeed good, but when it comes to offense, he really doesn't have much to praise.

But Ferguson's team failed to counterattack effectively. Manchester City's overall strength was too strong, especially their midfield configuration, which suppressed Manchester United as a whole and made it difficult to launch an effective offensive. Ferguson was forced to stabilize the defense before considering other things.

Time passed by minute by minute, and both sides were trying their best to complete a game that was no longer important and could no longer affect the overall situation. But sometimes, football is not only about winning or losing, but also about dignity and professional ethics.

The game entered the extra time stage, and the sky above the City Stadium seemed to have heard cheers from Tottenham Hotspur's White Hart Lane Stadium in north London. They were celebrating winning the Premier League championship for four consecutive seasons!

They are now very, very excited, and everyone, even the entire city of London must be crazy, because they can finally proudly tell everyone that from now on, the core of English football is in London!

It's like before the last round of the Premier League, many London teams shouted on the Internet, "In the last round, we will fight for the championship, and Manchester people, you can only fight for dignity!"

In the second minute of extra time, that is, the 92nd minute, Modric took a corner kick, and Hangeland scored a header in the penalty area, penetrating Manchester United's goal, 1:0, Manchester City defeated Manchester United and won the Manchester derby.

But this battle has nothing to do with the championship!

Modric, Van der Vaart, Hangeland, Joe Hart, Maicon, Yaya Toure... Half of Manchester City's team are players under Ye Qiu in the past, and this group of players came to Manchester City for various reasons and purposes to fight for the team's league championship, but it is obvious that even now, they are still out of the championship.

At the moment when the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the Manchester City players on the field all pulled their heads, looking very upset and helpless, because they had fought for a season, they had worked hard for a season, and even reversed Tottenham Hotspur at one point, and the championship was within reach, but in the end, they let the championship slip from their hands.

In fact, the fact that the Premier League sent the championship trophy to White Hart Lane before the game itself proved their confidence in Tottenham Hotspur, and everyone was basically sure that the league championship belonged to Tottenham Hotspur, but in theory, Manchester City still had the possibility of a reversal.

Two points, just two points. As long as they win one of the two matches, or get two more points in some games with mistakes, they will have a chance to reverse Tottenham Hotspur, and the whole situation will be completely different.

But there is no regret medicine in this world!

Ferguson stood in front of the visiting team's coaching bench. He looked at the disappointed and desperate expressions of Manchester City players. He knew better than anyone that this was just a test for Manchester City. If Manchester City's management had enough sober reason and wise planning, they should be very aware that this would be an opportunity for Manchester City to rise.

The rise of Tottenham Hotspur has a lot to do with the failures they once suffered. In the first season when Ye Qiu took over the team, Tottenham Hotspur even became a relegated team. Although they later caught up, they could only play a supporting role in the overall situation of winning the championship. But Tottenham Hotspur was very young at that time.

The smartest thing Ye Qiu did was that he formed a young team, which gave him enough time to wait for the team to grow. At the same time, his outstanding tactical ability allowed him to win honors in cup competitions that did not require too much overall strength.

So after the failure in the first season, Tottenham Hotspur was defeated again in the league in the second season, and it was a failure at the last moment. This once again brought frustration to the young players of Tottenham Hotspur. Even though they later won the Champions League, the failure in the league made them all hold their breath.

In the third season, they finally ushered in an outbreak, defending the Champions League and the Premier League championship. This became a key season for Tottenham Hotspur's rise. Without the accumulation and failure of the first two seasons, Tottenham Hotspur would not have won the double championship in the third season.

In fact, after the double championship, Tottenham Hotspur's overall strength was very strong, and it dominated the Premier League, so it steadily won two more Premier League championships, but in the Champions League, they lost the passion for the game and the hunger for victory, so they were eliminated by Manchester United for two consecutive seasons. Ferguson was very clear about their mentality.

Now, this season, Tottenham Hotspur has ushered in a new round of revival. Ye Qiu has obviously learned from previous experiences and lessons. He is trying to create a team atmosphere full of passion and desire for victory. He hopes that the team can gather a group of stars who will never lack motivation.

Just like Phil Jones, Sandro, Vidal, Ramsey and other young players, their presence will make Tottenham Hotspur full of competition and hunger for victory and games.

Therefore, it is regrettable that Manchester City lost the championship at the last minute of this season, but it also makes people full of worries about Manchester City's next season, because if this team continues to strengthen its strength and further improve the team's lineup configuration, especially Mancini, if he can further tap the strength of players such as Nasri, Van der Vaart and Modric while filling the team's weaknesses and deficiencies, then this Manchester City will become more terrifying and more threatening.

From the perspective of the Premier League, the rise of teams such as Manchester City, Newcastle and West Ham United still has an important role and effect on the influence of the Premier League worldwide, especially with more and more top stars gathering in the Premier League, which makes the Premier League games more entertaining and more attractive to fans.

But from the perspective of Manchester United, Ferguson clearly realized that this is definitely a big threat to Manchester United, because as the strength of teams such as Manchester City, Liverpool, West Ham United and Newcastle continues to improve, Manchester United has fallen into financial austerity because of the Glazer family, and the final result is like Chelsea and Arsenal now.

At this moment, Ferguson stood in the City Stadium, and he regretted his decision at the time. He originally supported the Glazer family to complete the acquisition of Manchester United. The idea at the time was that the Glazer family could bring revival to Manchester United, but he never thought that the final result would be like this. The Glazer family is now like a blood-sucking worm lying on Manchester United.

Perhaps, I have always imagined capital too simply!

While Ferguson and Mancini were thinking about their own things in faraway Manchester, at the White Hart Lane Stadium in north London, all the Tottenham Hotspur players rushed to the sidelines and hugged each other, while inside the stadium, the staff were temporarily building a podium.

This is the fourth time that the Premier League championship trophy has been brought to the White Hart Lane Stadium after the end of the season. This is absolutely a supreme honor for Tottenham Hotspur, because they have completed an unprecedented four consecutive championships in the English top league.

The entire White Hart Lane Stadium, the entire Haig Road, the entire Tottenham District, and even the entire city of London, are boiling.

Countless fans took to the streets, whether they were Arsenal fans, Chelsea fans, or even fans of other teams such as West Ham United, they would take to the streets and be proud of Tottenham Hotspur's achievements, because they are all in the same city of London.

"When fans in the northwest ask us how many championships we have won in the future, we can proudly ask them in return, have you ever won four consecutive championships?"

"There is no doubt that Tottenham Hotspur has created the most dominant era in the Premier League. This North London team has completely dominated the Premier League in the past four years, and at the same time has made everyone clearly aware that they are creating their own era and their own legend!"

The entire White Hart Lane stadium turned into a sea of ​​celebration. All the fans were happily dancing and celebrating in the stands. Thousands of fans also gathered outside the stadium, waiting for the team to finish the award ceremony. , will take advantage of the sunset to celebrate all the way south to Stratford Stadium.

This new stadium is regarded by Tottenham Hotspur as the team's lucky palace, because since acquiring this new stadium, Tottenham Hotspur has become invincible, from the Champions League to the Premier League. Spurs became almost unbeatable.

In the eyes of all Tottenham Hotspur fans, this new stadium has brought good luck to the team!

After the podium was built, the Premier League CEO Scudemore and the sponsors did not appear as usual. Instead, the commentator of the White Hart Lane Stadium was seen with a white-haired man who looked like he had The 60- or 70-year-old man walked out of the players' tunnel, and all the Tottenham Hotspur fans in the audience stood up and clapped and cheered when they saw this old fan.

"A few months ago, I said that if the team does not win the Premier League championship, I will die!" As soon as this old fan came on stage, the whole audience cheered, because they all knew him, as long as it was Tottenham Hotspur There are very few fans who don't know him, because it was him who loudly shouted the slogan that Tottenham Hotspur will die if they don't win the championship more than half a year ago.

"I am very lucky. It was the Tottenham Hotspur players who saved me and allowed me to live for a few more years, so I want to say thank you to Tottenham Hotspur, thank you to the coach Ye Qiu, and thank you all. Players and staff, thank you for continuing to keep me alive, you saved my life!”

There was a burst of laughter at the scene. Although everyone knew that it was just a joke, the old fan named Felipe said this, which added a little more meaning to this championship.

"I have supported Tottenham Hotspur for more than 60 years. I have been waiting for the day when Tottenham Hotspur will usher in its heyday. Many of my friends who also like Tottenham Hotspur do so. I couldn't wait until this day, so I often visit them and tell them about the changes that have taken place in the team, tell them about the results the team has achieved, tell them what outstanding superstars we have and the kind of beautiful wheels we have proposed. Beautiful attacking football.”

“I’m sure that in heaven they will hear from me and they will watch every game of the team!”

"I'm proud to be a Tottenham Hotspur fan and I hope all the Tottenham Hotspur players, coaches and staff can continue to work hard because I believe that you can The team has been taken to a whole new level and can achieve more and higher honors!”

"Finally, all Tottenham Hotspur fans, let us shout together, long live Tottenham Hotspur!!!"

"Long live Tottenham Hotspur!!!!"

Along with Felipe's slogans and gestures, many fans in the audience shouted loudly, and gradually, the shouts became louder and louder, and finally came from more than 30,000 fans in the audience and those gathered outside the venue. More than 10,000 Tottenham Hotspur fans chanted in unison.

Even in mid-air in London, they could hear the fans in every corner of London, watching the live TV broadcast, shouting "Long live Tottenham Hotspur!"

The whole White Hart Lane stadium went completely crazy!

Although this is Tottenham Hotspur's fourth consecutive Premier League championship, this championship is of extraordinary significance because they created a new history in England's top league and broke the record of no team in the past 100 years. The destiny of winning four consecutive championships has ushered in a new era, a new era for Tottenham Hotspur!

After a period of crazy celebrations and cheers, Scudmore and representatives of Premier League sponsors entered the stadium one after another. Scudmore also took the stage to give a speech. He spoke highly of Tottenham Hotspur's performance. Four consecutive championships, I think this team has shown strong competitiveness and strength in the past four seasons.

At the same time, Scudmore also took this opportunity to express the Premier League's attitude, that is, the Premier League will be committed to making the Premier League a fair and just platform without interfering.

This can also be regarded as a refutation of the outside world's belief that the Premier League may suppress Tottenham Hotspur in order to increase the suspense of the league. After all, Tottenham Hotspur is now the most influential football team in the world. As one of the most powerful teams in Europe, the chances of winning the championship are still quite high. They may even win five or six consecutive championships. Who knows?

In Scudmore's words, what the Premier League wants to create is a fair stage, and other teams will gain the status to challenge Tottenham Hotspur in a fair environment, and he also believes that at least in the next This season, at least six or seven teams will challenge Tottenham Hotspur's status as king.

Afterwards, Ye Qiu also stepped onto the podium. He expressed that he welcomed the emergence of more and more challengers. He hoped that there would be a team in the Premier League that could defeat Tottenham Hotspur, and even win the championship from Tottenham Hotspur. snatched the Premier League title from his hands.

"We at Tottenham Hotspur are not a soft-legged team. We are a team with a tenacious style. We are eager to meet strong teams. A duel with a strong team will make us more motivated and more capable." Fighting and even defeat are not poison for us, but honey, and we are eager to have a team that can beat us!”

"Because, I want to tell my players, our fans, and our opponents that every failure is the beginning of our becoming stronger. The stronger the opponent, the stronger we will become. We are the Tottenham Hotspur team that never gives up and never admits defeat!"

"Good!!!"

"Well said!!!"

All the Tottenham Hotspur fans in the stadium, and even all the fans around the world watching the live broadcast on TV, couldn't help but cheer. This is confidence, the confidence of the strong! The confidence of a wealthy team!

In fact, Ye Qiu has always felt that his greatest contribution to Tottenham Hotspur in the past few years is to create such a strong sense of confidence for this team!
