Chapter 891 Champions and the New Era

May 24th, the last round of the Premier League. .

Old Trafford.

The celebrations organized by the fans in the stands had lasted for more than half an hour. When the Manchester United players walked out of the tunnel and were greeted by the last league opponent Crystal Palace, the atmosphere in the stands reached its climax.

If the two teams do not play at the same time, it will only happen once in the entire season, and it may not even happen once.

After 11 starting players, Pochettino, Sun Wu, and Mike Phelan appeared one after another. Sun Wu appeared here because of a red card suspension. The order of appearance is second place. This is the default.

That red card caused quite a stir. Unfortunately, no reporter has yet reported the normal procedure after a similar incident...an apology from the offender.

Sun Wu will never apologize, and Joey Barton does not have enough confidence to accuse the other party.

In this game, Pochettino made a large rotation. Carrick, who announced his retirement after the Champions League final, wore the captain's armband. Lingard, Rashford and several young guys from the reserve team got the starting lineup. Chance.

"You really don't care?" Mike Phelan asked in a low voice: "This guy was trained by Manchester United's youth academy. His contract will expire next summer."

Sun Wu glanced at Januzaj on the field. It was really a pity. Although it had changed the career trajectory of the Belgian winger to a certain extent, he was still unwilling to stay at Manchester United.

Although it is not yet known where Pochettino is going, Sun Wu regards Tottenham as his first target. The Argentine is unlikely to jump into Chelsea's big hole.

And now Tottenham is short of wingers, Dele Alli still lacks a little experience, Lamela is frequently injured, and even Townsend is playing the main role. Januzaj can just fill this gap.

The game was very dull. Although Manchester United, which lacked most of its main players, tried hard, it did not create any threat. In the second half, Herrera came on as a substitute and gradually took control of the midfield. However, the game ended in 0-0.

The end of the game is the highlight.

As the on-site announcer announced, the Manchester United players who had changed into their championship jerseys walked out of the player tunnel one by one, and walked onto the podium with more than 70,000 Manchester United fans on the stage cheering in unison.

Sun Wu was the last player to play.

After him comes the coaching staff.

Sun Wu waited for a moment, then he and Pochettino smiled at each other and walked onto the podium side by side.

When Sun Wu took the trophy from the hands of the FA chairman and raised it high, red debris fell from the sky, and his teammates behind him burst into thunderous cheers.

Griezmann and Luke Shaw played tricks on Sun Wu and poured beer and champagne on Sun Wu's head. Alderweireld took the opportunity to steal the trophy.

The scene was filled with a joyful atmosphere. Players took photos, hugged, played, or ran to the sidelines to interact with fans.

"38 league rounds, 29 wins, 8 draws and 1 loss, totaling 95 points." Zhan Jun praised: "This is the joint-highest score in the history of the Premier League, tying Chelsea coached by Mourinho in the 2004-2005 season."

Zhang Lu's eyes fell on Sun Wu, who was throwing his sneakers into the stands. "With 14 goals, he ranked tied for 7th in the scorer list, and with 18 assists, he shared the assists title with Ozil. There is no doubt that Sun Wu is Dream Theater’s NO.1.”

"At the beginning of the season, Manchester United let go of Pogba, and in the winter transfer window they let go of Welbeck and Smalling, but Manchester United is still Manchester United. Although Guardiola led the team to create a historical record of 17 consecutive victories, but Manchester United still won the league title."

"This is also the first defending Premier League champion since Ferguson won two consecutive championships in the 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 seasons."

"Manchester City is on the rise, Liverpool is recovering, Arsenal and Chelsea cannot be underestimated, but Manchester United once again defended their status as the Premier League hegemon with a championship."

"Glory belongs to the Red Devils, and the championship belongs to Manchester United!"

At this time, Sun Wu once again stepped onto the podium, holding three trophies in both hands and smiling so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes.

Countless microphones poked at Sun Wu's mouth, but he didn't say anything... I really didn't expect to be so lucky this time. The three award-winning associations, which have never agreed to unify their opinions, made the same choice.

FWA, the English Football Writers Association, the official Premier League and English professional football staff, also selected Sun Wu as the best player of the season.

At the same time, the Premier League officially announced on its official website that Sun Wu's world wave goal against Tottenham became the best goal of the season.

Champion, best player, best goal, assist leader, there is no doubt that Sun Wu is the biggest winner of this season.

In the lively scene, Sun Wu and Christine became the focus. Their unabashed kiss made the surrounding flashlights shine.

However, Ferguson's appearance put reporters' questions to rest.

"Best, congratulations, you did a great job, another championship." Ferguson put his arm around Sun Wu's shoulders, "Maybe there is another one?"

"Of course, Alex, I will avenge you." Sun Wu winked, causing the surrounding reporters to laugh.

Back then, Guardiola stepped on Ferguson's bones to win the Triple Crown. This season, Barcelona is likely to win the Triple Crown again. They have already won the league championship and will face Athletic Bilbao in the Copa del Rey final. .

After driving away the reporters, Ferguson and Sun Wu strolled on the lively lawn.

"Actually, the records of Moyes and Van Gaal are not particularly bad. Manchester United stayed at their peak for a long time. According to common sense, there should be a buffer period." Ferguson shrugged, "But I didn't expect that you would come to Manchester United."

"Is it hard to imagine?"

"Of course, because in every previous transfer window, Manchester United would tentatively contact your agent, but you chose Schalke 04 and Tottenham." Ferguson smiled and said: "Best, here is the team you have chosen a long time ago. It’s a set stage, right?”

"Why do you say that?"

"Oh, what I said was not accurate enough." Ferguson shook his head. "To be precise, you made such a choice only after I fell on the sidelines in that game. Moyes and Van Gaal were terrible in the eyes of the fans." Your record becomes your capital and confidence."

Sun Wu paused, tilted his head and said, "Alex, do you want to come back?"

"No, no, no, I made a promise to Kathy more than two years ago. Go back on it? She will kill me!"

"Hahaha, I really envy you." Sun Wu laughed and then asked: "Then... Alex, will you object?"

Ferguson remained silent and did not give a clear answer.

An old man and a young man strolled in the noisy stadium. No matter where they went, reporters' cameras were chasing them, while other celebrating players and their families would stay away.

Pochettino watched this scene from a distance. He had to admit that although he had won two league championships for Manchester United and maybe a Champions League championship, in the history of this great club, he and Moyes , Van Gaal has no essential difference.

The Ferguson era is over, and now will be the Best era.

Moyes, Van Gaal, and Pochettino are just transitioners.
