The Red Army players were ready in the tunnel for the award ceremony to begin. Every time the emcee called out the name of a player, there would be cheers and applause in Anfield Stadium!
The Red Army players walked down the red carpet like heroes and waved to the fans. There would also be people who hugged and kissed their families on both sides of the red carpet, and then walked up to the podium with their heads held high and their chests puffed out with smiles on their faces.
When Qin Xiong came out, there was a spectacular scene in the Anfield stands.
It was probably agreed by the fans before the game. When Qin Xiong came out, the fans in the stands all bowed with their hands down and worshipped him.
Qin Xiong was flattered. He could feel the Red Army fans' adoration and love for him, but now the scene of them worshipping him was really spectacular!
Especially when looking down from the air, the treatment that Qin Xiong received was simply unprecedented.
"Anfield's scene at this moment will be forever recorded in the history books! Just like the scene in Liverpool when Shankly led the Red Army to win the title, there was the name of the Red Army back then. Today, at Liverpool, Qin Xiong, who helped the team return to the top of England and restored the European throne, has become the favorite of the Red Army fans. Qin Xiong has created miracles again and again to help the team break through difficulties and obstacles. He is qualified enough to enter the Red Army Hall of Fame and become a legend of the Red Army, even if he only played for the Red Army for two seasons! But his reputation has reached the pinnacle! "
When Qin Xiong stood on the podium and waved his hands to the stands around him, many fans were still concerned about what was happening on the other battlefields in England.
Manchester United's draw with Blackburn Rovers in an away game was insignificant.
Chelsea's home defeat by Newcastle United with a score of 3: 2 was surprising.
At the Emirates Stadium, the whole of England was shocked when the result of Arsenal losing to Aston Villa at home due to their eagerness to win and losing to them!
Arsenal lost twice in a row!
Before Manchester City's game had started, Arsenal was only one point away from Manchester City in fourth place, but Manchester City's game had not started yet!
The Gunners fans could not help but feel nervous. Many of them were already in despair!
Wenger attended the post-match press conference with a solemn expression. He talked about the game and said, "Our performance in this game caught me off guard. The wrong mentality led to a disastrous result. We are now facing the crisis of not being able to qualify for the Champions League next season. But it's not over yet. We still have a chance. At least we are three points away from Chelsea in third place."
The reporter below the stage suddenly sneered, "Do you expect Chelsea to lose 4: 0 in the last round, and then Arsenal to beat their opponent 4: 0? In this way, Arsenal can rely on their goal difference to overtake Chelsea! "
In the standings, Arsenal was still seven goals behind Chelsea in goal difference. In theory, to overtake Chelsea, they needed Chelsea to lose in the last round and Arsenal to win and reverse the gap in goal difference.
Wenger blurted out in a hurry, "Manchester City's game has not started yet. If they don't win the game, we are only one or two points behind Manchester City. We still have a chance in the last round!"
The Fleet Street reporters below the stage suddenly shook their heads and laughed.
Wenger realized how childish his words were!
His face suddenly turned red and he left in a rage out of humiliation.
Manchester City's game would be played later.
Stoke City, who finished off Arsenal in the last round, came to Manchester City's turf and did not play the role of spoiler again.
Manchester City's fighting spirit was very strong after they learned that Chelsea and Arsenal did not win, especially after they had just won this season's FA Cup title. After 35 years, they picked up the trophy again, which boosted Manchester City's morale even more!
They cleanly defeated Stoke City with a score of 3: 0 at home without shedding a drop of blood. Manchester City's points instantly surpassed Chelsea's!
Liverpool 88 points.
Manchester United 74 points.
Manchester City 69 points.
Chelsea 68 points.
Arsenal 65 points.
Manchester City announced their entry into next season's Champions League in advance!
The last Champions League ticket would belong to Chelsea or Arsenal.
Compared to Liverpool's announcement two weeks ago, the award ceremony now was just a routine.
Manchester City defeated Stoke City twice in the past week, picked up a trophy and got a ticket to next season's Champions League, which attracted more attention from Fleet Street.
Mancini also became awe-inspiring.
"Tonight, we made history for the club, but this is just the beginning. We worked hard this season and got a ticket to the Champions League and an FA Cup trophy, which will make our policy different. In this way, we can attract some top star players more easily because all good players want to play in the Champions League. "
Mancini talked about the first championship in 35 years and bluntly said that the small amount of glory in front of them could not satisfy the team's appetite. It only opened the door to success and the road to a powerhouse.
Indeed, over the past few seasons, Chief Mansur had invested nearly a billion dollars into this team. A small FA Cup title was certainly not enough to satisfy the appetite of the team's top brass. Just as Mancini said, tonight's glory was just a springboard for the Manchester City people to pursue higher glory.
In the eyes of Sheikh Mansur, the real ultimate goal was to pick up the Champions League trophy one day and even start a dynasty that belonged to the Blue Moon Legion.
"The first championship is also the most important one. We are about to start building a strong empire."
Mancini spoke the hearts of the team and the senior management.
Previously, The Sun had revealed that Manchester City's senior management had a plan that had been in the works for a long time this summer. They had set their sights on the four top superstars in the football world today. The names and values of these four players were: Rooney (worth 70 million pounds), Kaka (currently worth 30 million pounds), Iniesta (worth 50 million pounds), and the last one was Messi (worth 100 million pounds). The total value reached an astonishing 250 million pounds!
Later, The Mirror also followed up and reported that another Barcelona superstar, Xavi, had also entered the sights of Manchester City's senior management.
Objectively speaking, it was "impossible" for Manchester City to get any of the five superstars. However, The Independent wrote that although Manchester City had won a ticket to participate in next season's Champions League, if this "oil dollar" team wanted to truly become a powerhouse team, then it was necessary to throw in a superstar like Xavi.
"It looks incredible and you may scoff at it, but there's nothing Manchester City can't do! Who would have thought they would have such a sweet season? "The Independent's columnist, James Lawton, wrote.
Of course, Xavi was an important part of Manchester City's "Galactica" next season, but he was not the only one!
The Sun revealed that the Italian manager had also regarded Fàbregas as the key to the team's Premier League title next season.
"Fàbregas will be Manchester City's most important chip to win the Premier League title."
It was said that Mancini even sent the Spanish superstar in the team, Silva, who had a close relationship with Xavi, as a lobbyist to persuade him to refuse Barcelona to stay in the Premier League.
At the same time, The Sun revealed that the wealthy Manchester City people would offer no less than 40 million pounds.
There was no doubt that Manchester City's senior management was bound to do whatever it took to expand their military this summer. As for whether they could really throw in superstars like Xavi and Xavi and enter the ranks of Europe's top powerhouses, it would depend on the means of the chiefs and the pounds in their hands.
