Chapter 449 The Premier League Ends!(2/2)
"In this way, is the connection between the two very clear? It can also be understood why such a large company would choose to sponsor a club that is about to enter the League One."
"Considering that the Space Exploration Technology Company controlled by the Abu Dhabi Group also sponsored York City, this feels like a secret battle for Pan Yi's heart."
"But there is no doubt that Abramovich has the upper hand, both in terms of their feelings and the depth of their cooperation."
"According to York City Chairman Jason McGill, the West Siberian Company is interested in participating in the team's future stadium renovation, training ground upgrade, youth training facilities and recruitment system upgrades."
"Especially in terms of stadium renovation, York City plans to expand and renovate the two dilapidated stands in the north and south. By then, the stadium's capacity will reach about 20,000."
"This plan has been handed over to an architectural design company from Longguo, and construction is expected to start as soon as the second half of this year."
"In York City Club's plan, when they can establish a foothold in the English League One, or even enter the English Championship League, the renovated stadium will be put into use!"
"And this Busham Crescent Stadium... no, it should be called the West Siberian Stadium now, and it will also increase a lot of ticket revenue for York City in the future!"
Pan Yi had already sat back on the bed and gently stroked Valentina's hair:
"Well done and our club is on the right track."
Valentina turned around and opened her eyes: "Don't you know it yet? They are all here for you. Look, even the news reporters know it!"
Pan Yi smiled and said nothing.
Valentina asked again: "So, have you thought about it? Where are you going to go after the contract expires?"
Pan Yi originally signed a two-year contract in Hamburg, and it was the same at Chelsea.
And now, as the two-year period is approaching, Valentina will naturally be concerned about her boyfriend's whereabouts.
"Actually, I'm not sure," Pan Yi said, "The main reason is that this season is not over yet. If I don't win the seventh crown, then the promise to Abramovich will not be fulfilled, then..."
"What if we win seven crowns?" Valentina asked again.
"I haven't thought about this seriously." Pan Yi reached out and touched Valentina's smooth shoulder again, "Otherwise, I won't be a coach for a while and spend a good time with you. Anyway, I am a coach and can be there at any time.
On duty."
"Really?" Valentina's eyes lit up, but then dimmed immediately, "I believe you, you are such a bad old man. How can a football-loving guy like you be willing to take a rest?"
"Haha..." Pan Yi laughed, "Just because I say I'm not a coach doesn't mean I don't care about football. Think about it, York City is ours, Scaloni is leading it; and Nagelsmann
In Hamburg, Inzaghi's situation in Milan is also average, I can help them."
"Do you want to be the emperor?" Valentina glared.
"But it's much easier than being the head coach myself." Pan Yi patted Valentina's face, "I don't have to go to work, so I have more time to accompany you. I can also do more work.
'fighting'……"
Valentina's face suddenly turned red and she cursed: "You're not serious. Maybe you won't win the Champions League, after all."
Pan Yi nodded: "Of course I will be careful. Bayern Munich's strength this season has improved a lot compared to last season, but what surprised me most is their tenacity. To be honest, if we met last season
Now that they have arrived, I really don’t think they have much confidence in winning.”
Bayern Munich is really impressive this season, especially in the second half, playing better every game in the Champions League knockout rounds.
Many times, this kind of team is what you fear the most in football matches, because you don’t know how much potential it has yet to tap. God knows, will it suddenly break out when playing against you?
Valentina suddenly became worried again: "What about now? Are you sure?"
Pan Yi showed his signature confident smile: "Don't worry, I'm making progress too. No matter how hard Guardiola tries, I can handle him!"
Valentina smiled sweetly, and the quilt on her shoulders fell off, which made Pan Yi suddenly feel a wave of heat coming up from bottom to top.
"Forget it, let's continue fighting...I will use different tactics from last night to defeat you..."
"Ah... don't... um... ah..."
——
Of course, just because Pan Yi went to York City to take a vacation does not mean that he will not care about the team.
After staying for a few days, he set off directly from York City to Sunderland to join the team.
What will be held here is the 36th round of the Premier League, Sunderland's home game against Chelsea.
Sunderland are fighting to avoid relegation, while Chelsea have nothing more to ask for.
However, Chelsea also has to prepare for the upcoming FA Cup final and Champions League final, so its attitude towards the game is still very serious.
Pan Yi is not at the training base these days, and Arteta is in charge of the team's daily work, and this game also took the opportunity to be directed by him.
Therefore, although Pan Yi is still nominally the head coach on the team roster, today Pan Yi only sat in the coach's seat and did not directly interfere with Arteta's instructions.
During the game, Chelsea still encountered stubborn resistance from Sunderland.
At this stage, the relegation teams in the Premier League are not easy to mess with!
Italian striker Borini scored the first goal, actually leading the Premier League champions.
Although Chelsea scored two goals successively in the 25th and 45th minutes by Lukaku and Matic, in the 70th minute of the game, Sunderland still scored an equalizing goal from veteran Defoe.
This also made the score of this game fixed at 2:2, and Sunderland got a key point on the road to relegation.
However, compared to the players of the two teams in this game, the real protagonists are not them.
During the warm-up activities before the official game started, a young Sunderland fan named Bradley became the focus of the audience.
This boy was unfortunately diagnosed with neurocytoma in 2013, and it was still at an advanced stage.
After two years of painful chemotherapy, Bradley almost "completely recovered" last year. Unfortunately, the jealous boy, the disease invaded his body again in June last year.
Bradley's family had to accept the fact that no matter how they received treatment, they would not have much time left for their children.
Therefore, in today's game, in order to realize Bradley's dream, both clubs arranged for him to wear a Sunderland jersey and appear on the court with his idols to warm up.
Immediately afterwards, he became the main penalty kicker and broke the goal guarded by Courtois.
The little boy's goal also received unanimous applause from the players on both sides and the fans present!
Later, Bradley also took photos with the players of the two teams, and of course the coaching staff including Pan Yi and others.
The most touching picture among them is undoubtedly the photo of Defoe holding Bradley.
Bradley had a smile on his face, but Defoe looked like he wanted to cry but was holding back.
As the most famous star in the Sunderland team, former England international Defoe is also Bradley's number one idol.
Defoe is also very kind to him, and their relationship can be said to be very sincere.
It can be said that in this football stadium, which is full of competition and filled with gunpowder smoke, there are actually many warm and touching stories happening!
——
After playing Sunderland, Chelsea's last two opponents in the Premier League are Liverpool and Leicester City.
If we meet these two teams in the middle of the season, maybe there will be some sparks between the two teams;
But now, the situation in the standings is very clear.
After 36 rounds, Leicester City has 78 points and has secured qualification for the Champions League.
Even, their points are 7 points higher than third-placed Manchester City. In other words, Leicester City also won the runner-up spot in this season's Premier League two rounds ahead of schedule.
The last two Champions League seats will be between Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester City. Their point difference is only about 3 points. The last two rounds of games will determine their fate.
What about Liverpool?
They are ranked 9th with only 57 points and are destined to miss out on the European competition next season.
If Klopp wants to revive the Red Army, he can only wait until next season.
Therefore, whether it is Chelsea VS Liverpool or Chelsea VS Leicester City, the two games are theoretically "friendly matches".
In addition, there is no grudge or grudge between these teams, so the game is even more dull.
But after all, Chelsea had the upper hand and they were playing at home, so they still won these two games.
The scores of both games were 2:1, with Chelsea winning slightly.
The first is the game against Liverpool.
Chelsea took the lead in the 32nd minute. Hazard and Goretzka cooperated by kicking the wall. The Belgian winger broke through Milner one after another. Lallana and Firmino later reached the edge of the penalty area. Facing Lovren, he decisively kicked into the right corner.
Lower corner, 1:0!
Then Chelsea expanded the score in the 56th minute. Cheek made a direct pass, Mignolet hesitated to attack, and Gnabry's curved shot from the right side of the penalty area hit the dead corner. 2:0!
The Red Army did not equalize until the 92nd minute. Ocho, who came on as a substitute, made a pass from the left. Chelsea goalkeeper Martinez, who started today, made a mistake after receiving the ball. Benteke easily headed into the empty goal. 2:1.
Then there’s Chelsea’s home game against Leicester City, which is also the final game of the Premier League this season and a head-to-head showdown between the first and second-ranked Premier League players!
In the first half of the game, neither team scored a goal.
In the 59th minute, Cancelo made a cross from the left. Shinji Okazaki tripped Matic while defending in the penalty area and sent a penalty kick. Then Harry Kane scored in one stroke and Chelsea led 1:0.
In the 82nd minute, Leicester City attacked. Drinkwater suddenly took a long shot from outside the penalty area. Although Courtois fought hard to save, he was unable to prevent the ball from entering the net. Chelsea 1:1 Leicester City.
In the 90th minute, Chelsea counterattacked and Abraham hit the target with a volley!
Then the final whistle sounded, Chelsea 2:1 Leicester City.
At this point, this season’s Premier League is all over!
Chapter completed!
