Chapter 154: Season Ends!
On May 20, all major leagues in the world have basically come to an end.
The Premier League ended two days ago. Leicester City snatched the miraculous 'Premier League Championship' from Liverpool with a gap of 1 point. This news almost detonated the entire Europe. Everyone marveled at Leicester City's victory in this country. Season performance.
At the same time, several core players of Leicester City have also become the main battlefield for major clubs to compete for their share. For example, in the competition for Leicester City winger Mahrez, four wealthy clubs are involved. Among them are Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal and Juventus.
It's just that Mahrez has not decided which club he will transfer to.
In La Liga, Barcelona got their wish and won the league championship. They were only one point behind Real Madrid.
This is also their La Liga championship after two years, which is extremely precious.
However, Barcelona's pace in the league ended in the semi-finals. Barcelona faced Atletico Madrid in the semi-finals, but eventually lost to Atletico Madrid with a score of 3:2 and missed the Champions League final.
This year’s Champions League final is a La Liga civil war between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.
In Serie A, Juventus is still the dominant team.
Dybala and midfield master Pirlo have become the most solid championship foundation.
But many people are also worried about a question. As Pirlo gets older, where will the future of Juventus go?
Both the Bundesliga and Ligue 1 have dominant clubs.
Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain still dominate their respective divisions.
Especially the Bundesliga. Since Klopp left Dortmund, the Bundesliga has returned to Bayern Munich. This has also made many people regret that the German Football Association should not let Klopp go. German football lacks "surprises".
Of course, for Klopp, he won the runner-up in his first season in the Premier League, which can be regarded as effective leadership.
And this new Liverpool gives people a feeling of great potential. Many Liverpool fans have said that they are looking forward to next season's performance.
The same is true for Manchester City. Manchester City has started high and gone low this season, but Manchester City fans still say they are full of confidence in Guardiola.
At the same time, their midfield has become more solid!
The Premier League still had ups and downs in the final stages.
Tottenham staged a desperate pursuit. Pochettino led Tottenham to complete the sprint in the final period, abruptly squeezing Arsenal out of fourth place in the league.
Players such as Harry Kane, Son Heung-min, and Alli have become the new hope for Tottenham's revival.
Arsenal are preparing for Wenger's retirement.
They won the FA Cup this season, but lost their Champions League qualification and will have to play in the Europa League next year, which makes them feel a little regretful.
Wenger also said that he is too old to lead the team to the championship.
Arsenal Club also soon made the announcement of Wenger's retirement.
Suddenly it stirred up a thousand waves.
Following Ferguson, 'Professor' Wenger is also about to leave the football field, which is extremely sad for many fans.
But there was nothing they could do, after all, Wenger's condition was there.
After Arsenal released these news, they quickly announced the appointment of the next head coach.
Mourinho becomes Arsenal's new head coach.
This news detonated London again.
From Fulham to Manchester and back to the city of London.
Mourinho's coaching trajectory has been surprising.
However, many people are not optimistic about this combination. They say that Mourinho's tactics have fallen behind, especially coaching Arsenal. These two aspects always give people a feeling of being out of place.
Even Arsenal fans were a little shaken.
At first, they were quite pleased.
After all, Mourinho is not an ordinary person. As a championship coach, he has enough honors.
But correspondingly, as mentioned every time, Mourinho and Arsenal really don't seem to have anything in common.
What is their future?
The media and fans are in a wait-and-see state.
In downtown London, Mourinho looked at himself in the mirror.
He was wearing a crisp white shirt and tie.
Today he will go to the club to officially take office, which is a very important thing for him.
Although Mourinho's temples are gray at this moment, his eyes are full of light.
He is looking forward to coaching Arsenal and is very confident about it.
"It's time to go!"
Mourinho clapped his hands hard, as if to encourage himself, then took an information bag from the side and walked out of the house.
At the door, a commercial vehicle parked quietly on the roadside.
Arsenal manager Martinez stood next to the car, watched Mourinho come over, and took the initiative to open the car door.
"Let me introduce the club to you today."
Martinez said with a smile.
Mourinho nodded and walked into the car, and Martinez followed.
The two sat in the back. Mourinho looked at the information in his hands all the way, his expression was very serious.
Martinez is constantly watching Mourinho.
The two have never worked together. Rumor has it that the Portuguese has a bad temper and is a difficult master to serve.
"Sir, where do we begin?"
Martinez asked.
Mourinho put down the information in his hand and said, "Is Arteta still in London?"
Martinez was a little surprised.
He didn't expect Mourinho's first thing to do was to look for Arteta.
"I'm not sure, how about I call him and ask?"
Arteta also held a retirement ceremony this season.
Arteta is now preparing to take the coaching exam and develop in the direction of coaching.
As for whether he is still in London, Martinez really doesn't know.
After the call, the two had a brief exchange, and Martinez said: "He is still in London, but he will leave tomorrow to go to a youth training interview in Spain, you see"
Mourinho nodded; "Let's go find him first."
Martinez nodded and waved to the driver.
Ten minutes later, the car arrived in front of Arteta's house.
Arteta was already standing at the door to greet him.
He saw Martinez and Mourinho get off the car together, with a confused expression, and he had no idea what was going on.
The two entered the house at Arteta's invitation.
The furniture in the house has been cleared, and many things have been covered with white cloth. They are ready to leave.
Mourinho visits Arteta's house.
Arteta whispered to Martinez, "What's going on?"
Martinez shrugged.
'Who knows? '
Now, Arteta is even more confused.
At this moment, Mourinho stopped at the window and asked, "I heard that you are going to Spain to interview a youth training company?"
Arteta glanced at Martinez and nodded, "Yes, I want to develop in the coaching field, so I need some experience."
"Why not stay?"
Mourinho suddenly said.
Arteta blinked and said awkwardly, "There are many excellent coaches in Arsenal Youth Training."
In fact, Arsenal Youth Training did not invite him.
Martinez also smiled awkwardly.
In response, Mourinho waved his hand and said, "Not a youth training coach, but a first-team coach?"
"Ah?"
Arteta was stunned.
Martinez also looked confused.
Mourinho sighed and said, "When Wenger left, he dismissed the coaching staff. What I need to do most now is to assemble a brand new coaching staff. I value your ability and think you can play a good supporting role, so I want to invite you to be my assistant coach!"
Now, Arteta was directly confused.
Assistant coach?
Arsenal's assistant coach?
God!
He had never thought about it at all.
He originally wanted to return to Spain to find a youth training coach interview, and then obtain a coaching license.
But Mourinho threw him a super big surprise!
Let me ask, is it better to be a youth training coach or an assistant coach of a wealthy club?
It is undoubtedly the latter!
And you can also learn from a top coach like Mourinho.
This opportunity is simply too good!
"Me me"
Arteta was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
Mourinho smiled and stretched out his hand, saying, "Then, I'll take it as your consent?"
After that, he turned to look at Martinez and said, "Do you have any questions?"
Martinez grinned.
What can be the problem? Arteta is capable of taking this position.
And this is Mourinho's first request, can they refuse?
Whether it is for Mourinho's face or Arteta's credit, they can't refuse.
Martinez smiled at Arteta and said, "It seems that you can't return to Spain!"
