"This season, Chelsea's U18, women's and first team teams have achieved the FA Cup Grand Slam!"
The significance of this FA Cup is not entirely about victory or defeat.
At Wembley Stadium, a giant portrait TIFO quietly fell.
White lines on a blue background outline the face of England legend Ray Wilkins.
‘ONE OF OUR OWN’
‘1956-2018’
The Chelsea and Manchester United star passed away on April 4, 2018 at the age of 61.
At Wembley Stadium under night, the applause lasted for a long time.
But what about.
If Abramovich was present, he might not have applauded.
After Wilkins retired, he became Chelsea's assistant coach and interim coach for a while. After he was fired, this guy bombarded Abramovich in front of the media every three days: "Football has been tainted by money. The Chelsea boss spent money like crazy to introduce it to the world.
Stars everywhere... this is ruining the future of England's homegrown youth players."
...
On the awards podium.
The British royal family did not join in the fun, and the guest of honor was Ray Wilkins' wife, Rose.
The flames rise.
Gun salutes fired.
The radio above the stadium played Chelsea's team anthem "Blue is the colour".
Tuchel handed the trophy to Cahill and Li Kang, and then silently walked to the corner, leaving his position to his disciples.
'After six years, Chelsea once again wins the FA Cup, the eighth FA Cup in team history!'
"Congratulations again to the Blues!"
"Chelsea, double champion!"
Accompanied by waves of cheers.
Li Kang raised the FA Cup high!
Blue confetti flew in the wind, and the team song was loud and exciting.
Tens of thousands of Chelsea fans could not restrain their excitement at this moment: the end of a perfect season, I hope it will be a big ear cup!
...
Maguire and De Gea pass by together in the public interview area.
The media reporters were enthusiastic and enthusiastic.
Manchester United's second general had to stop and briefly answer a few questions.
"Championship of the Champions League? You can't say for sure. The two teams have overcome all obstacles and reached the top of Europe...Both teams have strong fighting spirit and unyielding momentum."
"If we have to make a choice, of course we support Li."
Maguire suddenly got a little addicted and was ready to rattle off his tactical predictions for the Champions League final...
De Gea wants to go home quickly and watch "Legend of Eyes". This guy is an old two-dimensional guy.
I adjusted my backpack and prepared to leave.
Suddenly a reporter asked: "David, we are about to compete in the World Cup with Li. How are you feeling?"
World Cup?
Speaking of which, the Manchester United goalkeeper doesn't want to watch cartoons.
...
Far away Los Angeles.
Pogba is playing in the water with a group of hot girls in bikinis.
The powerful physical talent is most vividly displayed in the scratching and touching.
It didn't take long.
Underpants of different colors floated on the water.
In fact, this way of relaxing will not affect his competitive state. After all, he is born with a dominant body.
When he saw a staff member running hurriedly with a mobile phone, he couldn't help but yelled: "Get out of here, didn't you see that I was busy?"
As long as you shine in the World Cup, no matter how many Mourinhos you try, you can't teach yourself a lesson!
The staff member forced a smile: "It's a call from Clairefontaine... The training date of the French national team has been moved forward."
Pogba looked unhappy and raised his hand heavily to splash the water.
There are three people who can affect his mood: Mourinho, Deschamps, and Li Kang.
...
Post-match press conference.
Tuchel's ears were filled with talk of "famous coach", "world-class" and "legendary coach".
He shook his head, trying to calm down.
The war is imminent and cannot be expanded.
Arrogance and vanity are the devil's traps.
He really never thought that his coaching career would soar in the 17-18 season. In the early days of joining Stamford Bridge... he also thought that he and Li Kang would have tactical differences.
The ‘desire to control’ and the ‘refutational personality’ have long since disappeared without a trace in the ‘game’.
But Tuchel has never given up on his tactical ideals. He has agreed with Li Kang, Cech and others to greatly optimize the tactical framework next season. If he can still stay at Chelsea next season...
"We are extremely prepared for the Champions League final."
...
Chelsea players and coaching staff bid farewell one by one.
Three days later, they will rush to the Olympic Stadium in Kiev in advance to adapt to the venue and subtle climate changes.
Everyone is very self-disciplined and are afraid of falling short in the final battle of the 2017-18 season.
Dark clouds cover the moon.
The street lights are dim.
A commercial vehicle drove slowly on the streets of Fulham.
The assistant held up a newspaper and said:
"Why did the Champions League final choose to be in Kiev... There was an explosion in that terrible place last year."
"Are the hotels over there trying to steal money? The original price of the hotel was 29 euros per room night, but now it has increased to 3,534 euros!"
"Bomb alarm?"
“England fans beaten in Kiev restaurant?”
"The security here is really bad."
Although the location of this Champions League final is not very good, UEFA's commercialization path has been getting better and better in the past two years. To put it bluntly, the broadcast share revenue and bonuses have increased significantly.
Broadcast prize pool system: Teams with slightly lower results can fully enjoy the broadcast share from local fans.
For example, the ranking of Champions League bonus income in the 2016-17 season.
First place: Champion-Arsenal.
Second place: Quarterfinals-Leicester City.
Third place: Semi-finals-Juventus.
Fourth place: Runner-up-Real Madrid.
Fifth place: Top 16-Naples.
Why is UEFA trying so hard to reform?
Because this is a game with FIFA.
The proposal to expand the Club World Cup is a microcosm of the fierce game between the two.
Why does FIFA want to expand the Club World Cup?
Because since 2015, FIFA's revenue has continued to decline...
....
Li Kang looked down at the tablet.
It's not a game video, but an old movie "Forrest Gump".
The system prompt sounded quietly.
[Ding, congratulations on unlocking the "Blue Overlord" achievement! 】
[Introduction to Achievements: Double Champion, Never Fading Blue, Rise of a Dynasty.]
[Task reward: Chelsea Legend·Mysterious Treasure Box.]
[The treasure chest is opening...]
[Congratulations on getting: Didier Drogba’s “Warcraft” module. 】
[Sliding and kneeling on three bars!]
【Super Striker!】
【Aesthetics of violence!】
【Defender’s Nightmare!】
[He possesses the terrifying power of a monster, but is like a weak sheep in the restricted area. 】
[Outside the restricted area: Prove the Tao with force, the ultimate martial artist, I will fight ten! Inside the restricted area: Ouch...]
[Fang Shiyu is outside the restricted area, and Lin Daiyu is inside the restricted area.]
Many "honest" fans will complain: Drogba's confrontation is definitely exaggerated. He falls down as soon as he is touched in the penalty area. I have seen it with my own eyes several times and his health is not good.
Some people even say: Drogba's body is on the same level as Habaib.
But if you look at Drogba's performance in key battles, you will find that this guy's nickname of "Warcraft" is well-deserved.

Li Kang watched the dense introductory words floating by...
