Soon the 1999-00 Premier League season came to an end.
As the media expected, Manchester United won the Premier League championship with an absolute advantage. They scored 90 points this season, which is the highest score for the Premier League championship in the past four or five seasons. They lost three games throughout the season.
Since Arsene Wenger took over Arsenal, this is the first time Manchester United has won the championship so easily.
Sunderland was nine points less than Manchester United, and finally ranked second in the Premier League with 81 points. Arsenal had 73 points, ranking third in the Premier League. Next is 60
Leeds United has nine points, Liverpool has 67 points, and Chelsea has 65 points.
Compared with the Premier League structure in previous seasons, the rankings this season have changed a lot.
The biggest dark horse is of course Sunderland.
Sunderland finished second in the Premier League in an amazing form.
Chelsea, which has always been in the top three of the Premier League, is only ranked sixth in the Premier League and has not even qualified for the UEFA Cup. Of course, this is from the league. Sixth place in the league is not eligible.
Entering the UEFA Cup.
In fact, Chelsea has already qualified for the UEFA Cup.
Because the opponents in the FA Cup final are Sunderland and Chelsea.
Sunderland is second in the Premier League and has a Champions League spot.
Therefore, whether Chelsea wins the FA Cup or is runners-up, they have automatically qualified for the UEFA Cup.
If Chelsea's results this season are disappointing, Vialli will not be able to keep his job.
So the saddest person in the Premier League should be Leeds United owner Ridsdale.
In order for Leeds United to obtain a Champions League spot, Ridsdale fully supported David O'Reilly. Ridsdale was not stingy at all in the transfer market, and even supported O'Reilly with a loan.
It is a pity that Leeds United lost their Champions League qualification this season despite the good situation.
One of the biggest reasons was the violent incident between Woodgate and Bowyer in January. Later, the incident became more and more serious and even affected Cowell and Bridges. It turned out that the two of them were also in the nightclub that day.
.
Although the charges against them were quickly dropped.
But this incident has obviously affected these core players of Leeds United.
From being able to compete with Manchester United and Sunderland for the Premier League title, to finally ranking fourth in the Premier League. Not even a Champions League spot, and having to play in the UEFA Cup. This will definitely make Ridsdale very sad.
.
However, some newspapers said that Ridsdale was crazy.
After missing out on the Champions League again this season, he has learned the hard way. He must enter the Champions League. So he has prepared huge funds this summer.
Although Leeds United Club has nothing.
But everyone believes in the laws of the media.
Because Ridsdale is a madman. If Jack Walker in previous years was qualified to spend money, he was a billionaire after all. When England's top players were worth only a few million pounds, Jack Walker had the ability to build
A Premier League champion.
Then Ridsdale is completely trying to show off.
His net worth is not as much as that of Jack Walker. Moreover, the value of players now has not doubled, but four or five times, or even seven or eight times compared to the past. But Ridsdale is crazier than Jack Walker.
It doesn't matter if you don't have money.
He can take out a loan.
This is Ridsdale.
Therefore, everyone in English football believes that Leeds United will definitely invest wildly in the transfer market this summer.
But anyway the Premier League is finally over.
There is still one FA Cup final left to be played in English football.
As for the Champions League, the Premier League teams failed to reach the finals.
The Champions League final is between Real Madrid and Valencia, which is a civil war in La Liga. British football's interest in the Champions League immediately dropped by twice, and even the coverage of the Champions League in the British football media was less than the coverage of the FA Cup.
Why don’t our Premier League teams pay attention?
You can go and enjoy yourself in Spain.
Although there is some jealousy involved, this is what the English media really thinks.
Everyone's eyes are focused on the FA Cup final.
…………
May 20, 2000, Wembley Stadium.
This was the last FA Cup final played at Wembley Stadium.
It should be the last FA Cup final that the old Wembley Stadium will host. Wembley Stadium's status in England is like the status of Beijing Workers' Stadium in China. It is the national stadium and is regarded by the British as British sports.
symbol of.
Not only does it have a long history, it has also held various competitions.
But the resolution has been passed.
Wembley Stadium is going to be renovated. After all, Wembley Stadium has a history of more than 70 years, and it is time for repairs and repairs.
They have already begun contacting some design companies to prepare for renovations.
So the significance of this FA Cup is even more different.
Of course, what the media pays the most attention to is the relationship between Su Yun and Chelsea.
Now everyone in the British football world knows that Su Yun will become the head coach of Chelsea next season. Because when the "Sun" broke the terms of Su Yun's contract, Chelsea, Sunderland, and Su Yun did not refute anything.
Everyone chose to remain silent.
Sometimes silence is a statement.
Everyone believed that The Sun's contract was genuine.
So I am more curious about this game.
How will he choose in this game?
This is what all the media cares about.
However, after issuing the championship declaration, no one could interview Su Yun because Su Yun was very low-key.
In fact, it was not that Su Yun wanted to keep a low profile.
It was the media that forced Su Yun to keep a low profile.
It’s okay if you don’t keep a low profile.
What can I do at this time? What can I do?
Su Yun must win the FA Cup for Sunderland. But Su Yun also doesn't want to offend Chelsea fans, so he will be a coward first.
Until May 20th.
It was still raining in the morning. But when the game was about to begin in the afternoon, the rain stopped.
But it makes people even more upset.
Rain can also make people feel a little refreshed.
But it's not raining, but it's not sunny either. It's even more confusing.
Because of the foggy weather, people feel very depressed.
Fog City.
London is a veritable foggy city.
Of course, as the London government attaches great importance to environmental protection, London is much better now than it was a hundred years ago and half a century ago. But the weather cannot be changed.
This kind of gray weather is very common in London all year round.
The FA Cup final. It is the FA Cup final after all.
Fans began to enter the venue before half an hour of the game, and by the first half of the game, Wembley Stadium was already filled with players.
At this time, the players who were warming up on the court also returned to the locker room one after another.
…………
While the players were warming up, Chelsea head coach Vialli appeared on the field.
But Su Yun never appeared on the court.
Su Yun stayed in the locker room.
It wasn't until the players finished warming up and entered the locker room that Su Yun stood up.
"You may have read the newspapers and heard the rumors outside. I have not expressed my position. Today I can tell you. I have indeed reached an agreement with Chelsea. I will coach Chelsea starting next season."
Su Yun's deep voice sounded in the locker room.
The Sunderland players had actually known about this for a long time.
But listening to Su Yun's words, they still felt a little shocked.
Among the current Sunderland players, especially the main lineup, except for Quinn and Michael Gray, all the others were introduced by Su Yun.
For example, Southgate and Duff only played one season in the hands of Su Yun.
Nothing.
It's different for others.
The others were all brought up by Su Yun from the lower leagues. Boboski was introduced from Manchester United, but it was at Sunderland that Boboski began to shine the most. This also caused the British football world to re-evaluate
This Czech genius.
Therefore, their relationship with Su Yun is still very deep.
"I can't help but be sorry that I can't stay with you in Sunderland anymore."
Listening to Su Yun's words, Cotterill was a little unsure. What did Su Yun mean?
Everyone knew that Su Yun was leaving.
It's just that no one has punctured this window. After all, the opponent in the FA Cup final is Chelsea.
But what does Su Yun want to do now?
"I will be the manager of Chelsea next season. But, it is next season, not this season. At least I am still the coach of Sunderland! I will not think about what I will be at Chelsea next season. I just want to be now.
Sunderland game."
"In the media, I want to give the new club a face. Haha, I never think about this. By next season, I will wholeheartedly consider Chelsea, but now I just want to beat Chelsea."
Su Yun's voice suddenly became louder.
In fact, Su Yun could choose to continue like this.
Then the game ends and we go to Chelsea.
But Su Yun didn't do that.
Su Yun pierced the window paper just before the game.
When I was growing up in China, there was a sentence in the textbook called "Being a monk rings the clock for a day." This is a derogatory term.
But when it comes to Su Yun now, it's not a derogatory term.
Since I am a monk, I will ring the bell.
Ringing the bell is the job of the monk.
As long as there is one day left, I will ring the last day's bell.
This is a responsible attitude.
Su Yun wants to be such a monk today.
"I have already told you how to play Chelsea. In fact, I was very worried when I went to Chelsea because Chelsea has too many big-name players. I hope you will help me deal with them in this game and let me
I will be more confident to go to Chelsea next season."
Hearing Su Yun's words, some players laughed.
"This is not funny at all. Remember, you can score two in this game. Never let me score just one. If you can score three, don't just score two."
"Of course I will be even happier if I can sweep Chelsea." (.cm Your support is my biggest motivation.)
