The celebration in Monaco lasted for three full days. This small European country has rarely seen such a grand celebration.
Although the city is not big, the parade of the Monaco team still visited every corner.
Wherever the bus went, cheering crowds appeared one after another, and people's faces were filled with happy smiles.
This is the glory that belongs to Monaco Club and the luck that belongs to the Principality of Monaco.
As Monaco reached the top of Ligue 1, the 0809 season was completely over.
In addition to the champion Monaco, Bordeaux and Lyon have won the other two seats in next season's Champions League. Marseille can only be ranked fourth and participate in next season's Europa League.
Le Havre and Nantes are in the bottom two and will unfortunately be relegated to Serie B.
In the selection of individual player honors, Shevchenko won the Ligue 1 Golden Boot this season with 26 goals. He received a call from Chelsea immediately. He will be recalled by the club next season and continue to play in the Premier League. British show of talent.
In the player assists list, Chen Tao, who had 18 assists in a single season, became the assists king. Not only that, he was also selected as the best player in Ligue 1 this season, and he was famous for a while.
These two players naturally won the best forward and best midfielder awards in Ligue 1 this season.
In the selection of the best goalkeeper and the best defender, Hildebrand and Ujfalusi were also successfully elected.
In the selection of the best team of the season, eight players including Hildebrand, Ujfalusi, Sun Jihai, Ljungberg, Chen Tao, Makelele, Shevchenko and Rekoba were selected.
Monaco is the biggest winner in Ligue 1 this season!
On the evening of the third day, Prince Albert invited all members of the Monaco Club to attend a championship dinner hosted by the Monaco royal family to commend and reward the Monaco team for their outstanding performance this season.
Whether they are coaches, players or staff, they all received generous bonuses and awards from Prince Albert, including luxury cars and watches, which were full of arrogance.
At the dinner, Prince Albert called Yun Sheng aside and handed Yun Sheng a leather bag.
"Your Highness, is this a gift for me?"
Prince Albert laughed loudly: "How is that possible? You are a meritorious coach of Monaco. How can a small leather bag be worthy of you? The gift I gave you is in the leather bag. Please open it and take a look."
In this leather bag, there is a gift document. The villa that Prince Albert lent to Yun Sheng to live in will officially belong to Yun Sheng from today on!
You must know that in a place like the Principality of Monaco, where land is at a premium, owning your own villa is quite expensive. Although it is not very luxurious, it is still worth more than one million.
Yun Sheng opened it and was stunned: "Isn't this gift too expensive? I really deserve it."
The corners of Prince Albert's mouth raised slightly: "My Chinese brothers, do you remember what we once said - since you promised to bring a championship to Monaco, then I also promised you - if you If you can bring a decent championship trophy to Monaco, then this house will be yours!"
"You haven't forgotten what we said. Unless you think the French Ligue 1 championship trophy is not a 'decent championship trophy'."
Yun Sheng smiled bitterly: "That's not what I meant. I meant that this gift is too expensive."
Prince Albert sounded very determined: "If it weren't for the laws of our country, I would have spent a lot of money on the club! Who is that Russian rich man living in London? If I could use money freely, I would definitely be richer than him! "
"When you joined Monaco, I actually felt a little guilty. I felt that given your ability, the salary I offered you was still too low. But there was no way. The flow of my money needed to be controlled to a certain extent, and I couldn't have the final say on my own. But since I can't give you a big salary increase, what does it mean to give you a small house? Don't be polite to me, just accept it in a down-to-earth manner. If you feel sorry for yourself, it's easy to deal with it. If you bring me the Champions League trophy next season, it will be even, hahahaha!"
Seeing Prince Albert's enthusiastic look, Yun Sheng no longer refused: "Thank you, Your Highness, I will accept this gift."
"That's good," Prince Albert said with a smile. "Don't feel ashamed. You may not know it, because you have brought three championships to Monaco. The benefits of Monaco Club are far from this." If a house is comparable, you should live in Monaco in a down-to-earth manner, preferably for the rest of your life. Don't be like that guy Arsene, who just won the championship and left, showing no mercy."
Yun Sheng and Prince Albert were chatting and suddenly talked about Wenger. At this time, far away in England, the professor was also chatting with the club about Monaco Club.
"Immediately make an offer to Monaco Club: 20 million euros for Chen Tao! 10 million euros for Dong Fangzhuo!"
The 0809 season has just ended, and the transfer war between major European giants is rife. Among all transfers, Wenger is the first to take action this time.
Chen Tao offers 20 million euros! This price is definitely expensive!
You must know that a year ago, Yunsheng only spent 2 million euros to bring Chen Tao from China to Monaco.
In just one year, the value of the Chinese genius has skyrocketed 10 times!
This is absolutely crazy!
Because Prince Albert and Yun Sheng had a gentleman's agreement with Wenger in advance to let Chen Tao go at the end of the season. Chen Tao himself was also attracted by the Gunners, so Yunsheng did not set any obstacles. He only negotiated with Arsenal on the transfer amount.
Before the dust settled on Chen Tao's transfer, Wenger's plan to poach Dong Fangzhuo for 10 million euros was ultimately shattered.
The reason why it didn't take shape is not that Monaco's asking price is too high, it has nothing to do with money.
Although Yun Sheng was reluctant to let go of Chen Tao and Dong Fangzhuo, Yun Sheng knew very well that if they could go to Arsenal, it would be very beneficial to the future of the two players. If he tied them up and refused to let them leave, he would be in trouble with those domestic players who were ruining young players. Waste managers, what’s the difference?
But unexpectedly, Yun Sheng was willing to let him go, but Dong Fangzhuo was not tempted at all.
As for Wenger's invitation, he rejected it with one sentence.
"I used to be from the Red Devils. Even if I return to the Premier League one day, I will not join any other team!"
Chen Tao's transfer was finalized, but Dong Fangzhuo had no chance with the Gunners and decided to stay in Monaco.
Two days later, a transfer news shocked the European and Asian continents.
"The best player in Ligue 1 in the 0809 season, the core of Monaco's midfield, and the talented Chinese star Chen Tao officially transferred to the Premier League giant Arsenal for a price of 25 million euros!"
