5 month 15 day.
Over the Hawthorn Stadium, three whistles sounded.
"Drip, drip, drip!"
"The game... is over!"
Zhan Tianjun's voice was much calmer than seven days ago, but it was still full of strong emotions that could not be concealed:
"Liverpool defeated their last opponent in the Premier League this season, West Bromwich Albion, 7-1! With 38 points in 98 rounds, they won the first Premier League championship in team history with an almost perfect score sheet!"
"Hey," Zhang Lu smiled:
"If you have to find something wrong, it may be that Long Shute only played 65 minutes in this game, and his league goals have not been able to go further..."
-
Long Shute is indeed a bit regretful, because he was replaced by the head coach in 65 minutes.
He scored just four goals in the first 65 minutes, bringing his Premier League tally to 4.
Only scored 32 goals in 95 games, averaging less than 3 goals per game, which is simply weak!
It's a pity that I didn't hit the 100-goal mark...
-
Although it was an away game, West Brom fans still gave him warm applause, which surprised him a little.
Perhaps he should not be surprised, because the West Brom Club has confirmed that in this summer, the owner surnamed Lai from China will become the new owner of the club.
Probably the existence of Long Shute has played a certain catalytic role, and things that would have happened later in history have appeared in advance.
During the period from 2015 to 2016, many commercial giants in China collectively focused their investment on the mainstream football leagues in Europe, and a number of acquisitions occurred one after another.
Suning took 7.5% of Inter Milan's shares for 70 million euros, and the whole of Europe is lamenting: the Milan Derby, which has been passed down for a century, has finally become a civil war for the Chinese.
Although Wanda's boss Wang is not so bold, he has spent nearly [-] million euros to become the third strongest team in La Liga and the second largest shareholder of Atletico Madrid. I suspect that Boss Wang can buy him out at will...
IDG has also become the second largest shareholder of Lyon Club, the former seven-time champion of Ligue 1, with a penny of [-] million euros.
The founders of Plateno Group and 7 Days Hotel bought Nice in Ligue [-], and bought Balotelli from AC Milan's boss Li, who was in decline, and prepared to let Balotelli lead the team to take off in Ligue [-]...
Xinghui Interactive acquired 6000% of the shares of Barcelona's city rival Espanyol for 56 million euros, and Jiang Lizhang owned 4000% of the shares of Granada, also in La Liga, for 98 million euros.
Compared with these cases that cost tens of millions of euros or even hundreds of millions of euros, Heli Wansheng entered the Eredivisie Den Haag for 800 million euros, Leders entered the French second team Sochaux for 700 million yuan, and O.R.G. invested 700 million yuan to buy the French second team team. With a 59.95% stake in Auxerre, they can only be regarded as a few humble shrimps, and they are not even qualified to be introduced in a column in the domestic media.
In English football, Chinese capital can be seen everywhere:
TTA took over Birmingham, a Championship team that was in deep trouble, from the hands of the Chinese owner Yang Jiacheng.
Lianhe Kang and Fosun International followed closely behind, becoming the sole owners of the British Championship powerhouses Aston Villa and Wolves at prices of 7800 million and 4500 million pounds respectively. Villa also specially hired Di Matteo. As a head coach, prepare to break into the Premier League in one breath.
CMC and CITIC Capital spent US$4 million to acquire a 13% stake in City Football Group, the parent company of Manchester City Club, becoming one of the seven major shareholders controlling Manchester City.
The shadow of Chinese capital can be seen in the Premier League, Serie A, La Liga, and the giants of Ligue [-], down to Ligue [-], La Liga B (the third level), and even some unpopular leagues in Eastern Europe.
Although a lot of Chinese capital...does not have any sense of existence in the eyes of the domestic public, this does not affect their spending a lot of money to stir up troubles in the market.
Maybe they think these people are a little too much, or maybe they are just worried about the outflow of assets. The country quickly researched and introduced a series of control plans, which imposed strict restrictions on domestic capital investment in overseas sports industries, and this trend quickly weakened.
For the Chinese capital behind Liverpool, there are also some different voices.
Out of political security considerations, several owners with state-owned enterprise backgrounds withdrew their capital from the club one after another. Long Shute has no objection, because after a year of buffering and development, his assets have now expanded again, even without these cooperations Partner, is also fully capable of eating the entire club! -
"We are the CHAMPIONS!"
At the Hawthorns, the two chairmen of the FA and Premier League presented the trophy and medals to Liverpool.
The only regret is that because it was an away game, when Long Shute raised the trophy high, there were only more than 4000 Liverpool fans left in the stands, which seemed a bit shocking from the visual effect.
But even if there are only more than 4000 fans, the fanatical atmosphere created gives people the illusion that this is Anfield.
Countless people burst into tears, countless people burst into tears, and countless people looked up to the sky and howled!
Since 1990, they have missed this championship.
At that time, Liverpool was still the only well-deserved hegemon in English football, and no team could shake their position.
Although they briefly missed the championship, everyone believed that this was just a nap for the lions.
One year, two years, three years...
Five years, eight years, ten years...
15 years, 20 years, 25 years...
Snooze has become a nightmare and Overlord has become a laughing stock!
If Gerrard hadn't turned the tide in Istanbul in 2005, Liverpool would definitely have become the most misnamed "big club" in European football! -
The nightmare of 26 years finally woke up at this moment, and Liverpool waited for the 26-year-old Long Shute.
They finally ushered in the man who ended everything.
A cruel reality is that if there is no Long Shute's arrival, the red livery bird may have to wait for a long time.
Maybe three years, maybe five years, maybe... another long period of time.
In the increasingly competitive Premier League, it is an impossible task to win a league championship with healthy financial operations and limited investment from the American boss!
Only a man of miracles can truly save Liverpool.
Boss Henry can't do it, and neither can Uncle Klopp.

Late night on May 5th.
Long Shute is 25 years and 364 days old.
He stood on the pitch in the Europa League final.
Line up, handshake, coin guessing... These procedures have all ended, and the 90-minute, or even 120-minute final battle is coming.
Their opponent is the La Liga powerhouse, Sevilla, which has dominated the Europa League for two consecutive years.
Due to consecutive championships in the Europa League, the Europa League is even dubbed the "Sevilla Cup". Also failed to beat them in the UEFA Super Cup, thus missing out on the six crowns.
Of course, Liverpool fans know that the result of this final was a disappointing 1-3. The Red Army still took the lead even though the penalty was very passive throughout the game, but then Sevilla scored three goals in a row, allowing the English Had a fiasco.
In this game, the referee team's penalties became the target of public criticism after the game. They made many unfavorable penalties against Liverpool and directly ignored Sevilla's handball in the penalty area at least three times, so that this final was also called For "Liverpool football team lost to Sevilla handball team".
For Long Shute, he didn't study the details of that game carefully. He even just glanced at the score and left the system data behind.
This Liverpool and that team in history has changed so much that it doesn't make sense to study the game in another time and space.
"Hey guys."
At this moment, Long Shute gathered all the starting players around him, and eleven people formed a big circle.
"Have you seen this stadium?"
He pointed to the stands around him:
"St Jakobs-Park, home of the Swiss champions Basel, has a maximum capacity of 40000 people, it shouldn't be where we want to be."
Some players reacted slowly and did not understand what he meant immediately.
Just listen to Liverpool's captain waving with pride:
"This is the last time we play in the Europa League!
I guarantee that starting from next season, the UEFA Champions League every season is where we should fight!
Get rid of Seville!With a victory... Say goodbye to this low-level competition! "
