Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs: Chapter 279 Premier League three-peat
Chapter 279 Premier League Three Consecutive Championships
"José, you don't have to do this, right? Hasn't Abramovich changed his mind now? Peter Kenyon has even approached me to discuss renewing his contract. You know, it's rare to see a boss as generous as him?"
Mendez nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood.
He had been worried that Chelsea would fire Mourinho, but now he finally relieved this concern, and Mourinho gave him another shot.
Te Meow's one by one is not worrying, Mendes couldn't help pinching his eyebrows, exhausted.
"Jorge, I'm tired and want to change the environment, understand?"
Hearing Mourinho's words, Mendes looked at Mourinho carefully, with a tired look on his face, and at first glance it was the bags under his eyes that lacked sleep, and at the age of 44, he already had white hair on his head.
Mendeston, who wanted to continue to persuade him, swallowed what he was going to say. It seemed that Mourinho was really tired.
"Have you figured it out?"
Mendez reluctantly asked.
"Think clearly, just do it like this."
After saying this, Mourinho seemed to have unloaded a heavy burden, and the whole person was much more relaxed.
"Jorge, Chen Ran's Crystal Palace is in full swing now, and their main players are still very young, at least in the next five years, it is difficult for anyone to shake their dominance."
"This season, Chelsea and Crystal Palace can compete for the championship in the Premier League and the Champions League to the end. In fact, it is already an extraordinary performance."
"I myself can't guarantee that I will be able to do this next season. Rather than being kicked out at that time, it is better to leave now and take the initiative."
Although the decision has been made, Mourinho still hopes that Mendes can support him.
After all, it’s just the early days of the golden-dollar football era, and it’s hard to find a generous boss like Abramovich.
He left Chelsea, which means that Mendes wants to continue to sell his players to Chelsea. This will directly affect the business of Mendes' agency.
"It's okay, Jose, as long as you figure it out for yourself, I will always support your decision."
Mendez looked at Mourinho with a smile. Although he said it beautifully, his heart was bleeding non-stop. This is all money.
Fortunately, Mendez's head is smart enough to tell which one is more important.
He understands that when losing something is unavoidable, the wise choice is not to lose more.
Two days after returning to England from Italy, Crystal Palace ushered in the 37th round of the Premier League
On May 5th, Crystal Palace played against Watford at home.
This is the last game of the Devil's schedule at this stage. After this game, Crystal Palace will usher in a week of rest.
Therefore, Chen Ran put all the main players who had just played in the Champions League semi-final two days ago into the starting lineup and asked them to grit their teeth and hold on.
At the same time, Chen Ran also took out the only two remaining "Level 1 Healing Cards" and used them on Mascherano and Yaya Toure, who had almost no rotation due to Vieira's injury.
In the end, with the goals of Cristiano Ronaldo, Yaya Toure, Modric and Jan Kohler, Crystal Palace defeated Watford, who had been relegated in advance, 4-0 at home.
At the same time as he got the key three points and four goal difference, Chen Ran also got a "Level 1 Healing Card" from the system, which was a timely addition to his hole card.
In other matches in this round of the Premier League, Manchester United beat Manchester City 1:0 away in the same-city derby, while Chelsea defeated Arsenal 2:1 in the away game.
In this way, Crystal Palace and Manchester United are still ranked first and second, and Chelsea is only one point behind the two teams and third.
Who can win the championship depends on the performance in the final round.
For this reason, the competition for the Premier League championship this season can no longer be described as intense.
The eyes of fans all over England, all over Europe, and even all over the world are now all focused on the Premier League, and everyone is waiting to see who can have the last laugh.
In the interest of fairness, the final round of the Premier League is unified on May 13.
Crystal Palace away to Blackburn, Manchester United at Old Trafford against West Ham and Chelsea against Everton at Stamford Bridge.
From the perspective of the opponents of the three teams, West Ham United are currently only three points higher than the teams in the relegation zone, and there is still the possibility of relegation.
Everton are currently sixth, but they are on the same points as Tottenham. If Tottenham wins the final round and they fail to beat Chelsea, then Europa League qualification for next season will fall to Tottenham.
There is only Blackburn, it is impossible to qualify for the European competition, and there is no threat of relegation. It can be said that it is truly hopeless.
When these situations were analyzed and reported by people with a heart, countless English media lamented: Could it be that just after some light appeared in the sky, it was about to fall into darkness again?
So, under the impetus of people with a heart, many English media have called on Blackburn to play sportsmanship.
"You must never give up the game just because you have no desires."
"Must send the entire main lineup to face Crystal Palace."
"England football depends on you to save."
"Break that Chinese man's monopoly on the Premier League."
"May 13, we are all Blackburn fans."
On May 13th, the 38th round of the Premier League started at the same time.
All England, all Europe, and even all over the world fans have set their sights on the British Isles.
Crystal Palace, Manchester United and Chelsea have already sold out the tickets for these three games. Even so, there are still many fans who are not willing to leave outside the stadium on the day of the game.
In addition to these fans who came to watch the game, more fans are paying attention to the three games of Crystal Palace, Manchester United and Chelsea at the same time at home.
After a week of repairs, the main players of Crystal Palace have regained their vitality.
Chen Ran naturally would not have any reservations at this time, and dispatched Crystal Palace's strongest attacking lineup.
striker Tony, striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Left midfielder Cristiano Ronaldo, midfielder Kaka, right midfielder Ribery
Midfielder Mascherano, Midfielder Yaya Toure
Left center back Chiellini, center back Vidic, right center back Thiago Silva
Goalkeeper Cech
On Blackburn's side, I don't know if it was influenced by media reports, but head coach Mark Hughes also sent the entire main lineup.
However, all this is of no use.
In the face of hard power, all tricks are paper tigers.
The main players of Crystal Palace, who had been fully rested, went down the mountain like a tiger, pressing Blackburn on the ground and rubbing hard.
Less than 20 minutes into the first half, Crystal Palace broke the deadlock by Ibrahimovic, and Crystal Palace led Blackburn 1-0.
Before the end of the first half, Cristiano Ronaldo staged another one-stop, breakthrough, extraordinary, scoring in one go, Crystal Palace led Blackburn 2-0.
In the other two games at the same time, the score between Chelsea and Everton remained 0-0, and at Old Trafford, Manchester United scored a goal by West Ham United in the first half. The current score 0:1 behind West Ham United.
At this moment, those fans who were paying attention to the three games at the same time were in a frenzy.
"Haha, it's still us Crystal Palace. We easily scored two goals in the first half and led Blackburn 2-0. It seems that the league champion can't run away."
"What the hell? Manchester United will fall behind the relegation team West Ham United? Is this a match-fix?"
"Although Chelsea has not scored yet, the 0-0 score is always much better than Manchester United. If the two teams have the same points, Chelsea's goal difference is more, and Manchester United can be squeezed to third place."
"Hey, are you too passive upstairs? Maybe we can score Everton in the second half, and then look forward to Blackburn's big comeback."
"I'm negative? I think you haven't woken up? You still want to reverse Crystal Palace with Blackburn's strength? How much did you drink upstairs?"
"I definitely didn't drink less. With Crystal Palace's current strength, there is not no team that can reverse the comeback, but it is definitely not Blackburn."
The match went very well and the news from the other two games was also good for Crystal Palace.
In this case, during the intermission, Chen Ran just gave the players some blood as usual, and did not make any substitution adjustments.
In the second half of the game, Crystal Palace, which was already two goals ahead, did not stop.
First, Kaka scored a long shot, and then Tony scored a header. The four-goal lead directly knocked Blackburn's players from head coach Mark Hughes to the field.
In the other two games, I don’t know if Manchester United and Chelsea are not good enough, or West Ham United and Everton are too hard.
Throughout the second half of the game, none of the four teams could score a goal.
In the end, Crystal Palace beat Blackburn 4-0 away, Manchester United lost 0-1 to West Ham at Old Trafford, and Chelsea was drawn 0-0 by Everton at Stamford Bridge.
Just like this, in the most crucial final round of the Premier League, two of the three championship teams fell off the chain. Manchester United and Chelsea handed over the Premier League championship trophy this season to Crystal Palace.
This kind of anticlimactic plot made it difficult for countless English people who were expecting them to overthrow the Crystal Palace. From love to hate, in an instant.
For a while, the rhetoric about Manchester United and Chelsea was overwhelming, and the news that Crystal Palace won the Premier League three consecutive championships was pushed aside.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning the Premier League championship this season, with a special bonus of 20 million euros."
"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning the Premier League three consecutive championships, and there is only one Premier League championship trophy away from passing the 'grand club qualification'. As long as the 'grand club qualification' is passed, Crystal Palace will bring its own aura of wealthy clubs, which will help players, fans and sponsors. In all aspects, the attraction has greatly increased.”
Chen Ran has become accustomed to the first reward of the system.
However, the second message from the system brought him quite a surprise.
Because the requirements for "a wealthy family qualification certification" are too high, Chen Ran almost forgot about it.
Now after four years of hard work, he is only one Premier League trophy away from being certified.
And one Champions League trophy is equivalent to three Premier League trophies, so as long as Crystal Palace wins the Champions League this season next, it can pass the “big club qualification certification”. Thinking of this, Chen Ran couldn't help but look forward to it.
A thousand miles away in China, countless Crystal Palace fans also paid attention to the final game of the Premier League.
However, unlike the reaction of many England fans, the domestic Crystal Palace fans were very satisfied with the anticlimactic plot of the Premier League title race.
"I'm so sorry. It's not that we are too strong, it's that the opponent is not good enough!"
"I'm so sorry. It's not that we are too strong, but the opponent is not strong!"
"I'm so sorry. It's not that we are too strong, but the opponent is too generous!"
"I'm so sorry. It's not that we are too strong, but the opponent is too humble!"
"I'm going, what game are you playing? Can you bring me one?"
"Hey, upstairs, keep your formation."
"I'm so sorry. I haven't tried hard yet, why did you all get down?"
"The three-peat of the Premier League is actually just an appetizer. If you can win the three-peat of the Champions League, it will be a fork."
"Who's urinating? Wake up upstairs."
"Actually, according to the current momentum, it is not impossible to win the Champions League three times in a row."
"Upstairs, so far, only Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Ajax have been able to win the Champions League three times in a row. This is really too difficult."
"Yes, it was a long time ago that these three teams could win the Champions League for three consecutive championships. It is almost impossible to have such a result now."
"It's okay, isn't the record just meant to be broken? What's more, there are chicken thieves, I have confidence in Crystal Palace."
After the Premier League is over, the season is over for most teams.
But at Chelsea Club, although they failed to win the Premier League championship, the players still come to the club to train hard every day. Because, they have more important Champions League finals to play.
Because Manchester United lost to West Ham United in the last round, although Chelsea were also tied by Everton, but with the same points, they still beat Manchester United to win the Premier League runner-up with the advantage of goal difference.
Under the leadership of Chen Ran, Crystal Palace won three consecutive Premier League titles.
Meanwhile, under the leadership of Mourinho, Chelsea won three consecutive Premier League games.
This achievement made Mourinho both hated and helpless.
Mourinho, who came to Chelsea with the Champions League head coach title, never expected that he would meet the enemy of his life here.
If he has watched "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he will definitely sigh: "Since Mourinho is born, why is Chen Ran born?"
