Chapter 1,219: The Busy Summer Begins
The celebration of three consecutive Champions League titles excited the city of Manchester for three days.
During these three days, bars were half-priced, shopping malls had discounts, and fan groups paraded in the streets to celebrate. All the celebrations came from Manchester United's era-defining victory.
And countless media and newspapers are praising Manchester United's great achievements.
The three major newspapers in the UK all reported the news of Manchester United's Champions League victory immediately. They reviewed the final from different angles, reviewed Manchester United's journey throughout the season, and invariably released a special issue reviewing Manchester United's undefeated classic season.
The most eye-catching one is the Manchester Evening News. As a local and regional newspaper in the United Kingdom, the influence of the "Manchester Evening News" in the field of football has exceeded that of the three major newspapers. This is all due to the strength of Manchester United in recent years.
Because of the good relationship between the Manchester Evening News and Manchester United, they were able to conduct exclusive interviews with many members of the Manchester United club. In particular, several key players who experienced the Champions League winning process were interviewed by reporter Hall.
Kim Tiger's comments and analysis of each opponent also attracted great attention from many fans. The sales of the special edition of the "Manchester Evening News" increased rapidly, and for a time it dominated the UK.
Countless newspapers are taking advantage of the excitement of the Champions League to review the past season, but "The Sun" seems to be too quiet.
"Wolf, when you go to China as a volunteer this time, you must work hard and try to dig out more news."
"Editor-in-chief, I can't bear to leave you..."
"Stop talking nonsense! Just leave as soon as I ask you to leave! If you don't leave, you won't be able to catch the plane!"
At the door of the "Sun" newspaper office, Wolfe was performing a painful parting scene.
This all stems from a bet made a year ago.
Last season was Mbappe's first season in the Manchester United first team. Due to Lewandowski's injury at the beginning of the league, Mbappe was promoted to the main position. However, in the first two games of the league, his performance was somewhat It is not satisfactory and has been questioned by many outsiders. Especially Wolff of "The Sun", who criticized Mbappe heavily.
At that time, in order to protect his disciple, Kim Tiger once again proposed a bet. The bet was very simple, to see whether Mbappe could score 20 goals in a season. It doesn't matter whether it's league or cup competition.
If Kim Tiger loses, he will pay "The Sun" one million and participate in an outdoor football event co-organized by "The Sun" and "Entertainment and Sports Channel 2". The copyright belongs to "The Sun".
If Wolff loses, he will go to the "Manchester United Football School" in China as a volunteer for half a month next summer and engage in some football-related work.
But when the season was halfway through, Mbappe completed 20 kills. By the end of the season, he won the Premier League Golden Boot with 26 Premier League goals, and the total number of goals in the season exceeded 40, completely doubling the bet!
Since Wolfe lost the bet, he had no choice but to admit defeat and go to China as a volunteer.
However, Jin Taige was very considerate and prepared arrangements for him in China. At the Jicheng branch of the "Manchester United Football School", Jin Taige prepared a football volunteer position for Wolf.
And when Wolfe arrived in Jicheng, he almost became angry!
He was actually arranged to become a waiter in the restaurant!
I'm a great reporter from "The Sun".
How is it possible to do such basic work!
The head of the school's logistics department explained to Wolfe: "Don't worry, Coach Tiger told us, you come to the restaurant to help, it's just the beginning, and you will be replaced later."
Wolfe felt better now: "What will I do next?"
"Cleaners, lawn mowers, etc., Coach Tiger said, he wants you to thoroughly experience the various positions in the football school, so that you have a comprehensive understanding of the 'Manchester United Football School', and also let you have a good understanding of the Chinese nation. I have a deep understanding of China’s football culture and China’s national culture.”
Wolfe: "..."
It's been a busy summer.
In addition to reviewing last season's league, the thing that media from various countries are paying most attention to now is the upcoming 2018 World Cup in Russia.
After the Champions League final ends on May 27, the World Cup opening ceremony will officially begin on June 14. And the next group stage journey will also come one after another.
In fact, half a month ago, many national teams assembled in advance for joint training. It's just that for some teams that need to participate in the Champions League finals and domestic cup finals, the national team members return a little later.
On June 1st, almost all the World Cup participating teams were assembled and began training. On the eve of the competition, they will go to Russia in advance according to their own time for adaptive training.
At this time, Jin Taige also ended his three-day vacation after the Champions League final, and was invited to report to the England national team to serve as his technical advisor and start a new job that lasted more than a month.
Seeing the players of the England team, Jintiger felt very friendly. In the England team's 23-man roster, all players are players from England's domestic league. For Kim Tiger, these players are either from Manchester United or from Manchester United's league opponents. Because they often meet in the league, Jin Taige knows all these players very well. Today is Jin Taige's first day reporting to the national team. He was in a good mood when he saw the lively players in front of him.
Players from Manchester United came forward one after another, represented by players such as Ashley Young, Ali, Lingard, etc. They were very happy to see Kim Tiger.
"Boss, you're here!"
"Boss, I'm so happy to see you!"
Stones, who once played under Kim Tiger, and Rashford, who is on loan from Manchester United, also greeted Kim Tiger with great respect.
Some other players who were familiar with Jin Tiger also greeted him politely. For a while, most of the England team gathered around Jin Tiger.
Jin Taige was also greeting the players and acted very friendly.
"You're all here already? Thank you for your hard work."
"Lingard, your injury is healed? That's great. Get back into shape quickly and try to make it in time for the first group match."
"Rashford, I haven't seen you for a few months, but you seem to have grown a lot stronger? Not bad!"
"Stones, you seem to have turned dark. It seems that you have been training outdoors a lot during this period. Not bad!"
Jin Taige was chatting with the players in the stadium, but not far away, another pair of eyes were staring at him fiercely, as if they wanted to eat him!
