Chapter 613: Chapter 612: King of the Premier League, Deng Kai Transfers?
Arsenal, who had been leading Manchester United thanks to their goal difference, suddenly dropped to second place in the Premier League, trailing United by two points.
May 3rd, the thirty-seventh round of the Premier League.
Manchester City slaughtered fifth-place Liverpool with a score of 5-1.
Deng Kai completed another hat-trick!
A single-season Premier League record of five hat-tricks, making history!
Deng Kai became the first player in the top five European leagues to achieve five hat-tricks in a single season!
At the same time, Deng Kai scored thirty-four goals in thirty-seven Premier League matches, equalling the Premier League records of Cole and Shearer, and joining them as an elite tier striker!
Taking into account that City has one final match against mid-table Southampton, Deng Kai has every chance to rewrite history and claim the record for himself!
The Premier League media were once again cheering for Deng Kai.
My Kai has already broken the Premier League goal record, what about you, Ronaldo?
Just twenty-three goals?
Not even as many as Roy Makay of Deportivo La Coruña, who has twenty-nine!
Cristiano Ronaldo: ???
Kai: Excuse me, we’re discussing the great Ronaldo here, not you little Ronaldo.
And it’s not just goals, on the assist front, Deng Kai reached an impressive twenty-five assists, surpassing Henry, and temporarily taking the top spot in the Premier League assist chart!
The football world hasn’t seen such a dominant player in a long time.
This year has seen two, one is Henry, and the other is Deng Kai.
And Deng Kai... aside from the team’s performance, is overwhelmingly surpassing Henry in other areas!
Most English media believe that Henry is worthy of being in the top three for this year’s Golden Ball Award!
And Deng Kai... well, he’s the top favorite for this year’s Golden Ball!
This year’s end-of-year Golden Ball is not just a battle between Deng Kai and Ronaldo anymore.
It’s also a battle between the Premier League, La Liga, and Serie A.
The previously underdog Premier League has gotten the chance to overtake the competition thanks to Deng Kai’s emergence.
May 4th, the last few matches of the thirty-seventh round of the Premier League kick off.
These include the matches for Manchester United and Arsenal.
Either this time or next, the champion of this Premier League season will be decided.
Deng Kai, dressed to the nines, appeared at Old Trafford Stadium.
His suit was from Armani, having just signed a letter of intent with the top clothing brand.
To test the waters with each other.
If things go well, there could be the possibility of further collaboration.
Deng Kai’s request was to become Armani’s highest-level brand ambassador.
Armani is optimistic about this prospect.
Before the match started, the cameras kept panning to Deng Kai and frequently switching between him, Cristiano Ronaldo, Ferguson, Beckham, and others.
Therefore, the fans kept cheering ceaselessly.
Manchester United fans warmly welcomed Deng Kai’s arrival.
They knew he was there to support Cristiano Ronaldo.
Indeed!
As Cristiano Ronaldo scored the first goal for the team, he celebrated with Deng Kai’s signature move "Siu".
The atmosphere in the stadium subsequently hit its peak.
Meanwhile, as time went on.
Leeds United scored a last-minute winner to beat Arsenal 3-2 before the end of the match.
Manchester United, with a five-point advantage, became the Premier League champions with a game to spare.
Old Trafford, where dreams come true!
Many players’ families were permitted to enter the stadium.
Deng Kai was personally invited by Ferguson to join the field.
However, upon entering, Deng Kai immediately ignored Ferguson’s attempts to hug him, sprinted towards Cristiano Ronaldo, and without Ronaldo noticing, jumped onto his back.
"Champion! You are the Premier League Champion! You are the King of the Premier League!" Deng Kai roared into Cristiano Ronaldo’s ear.
Cristiano Ronaldo didn’t bother to argue with Deng Kai about who should ride whom anymore, and instead joyfully carried Deng Kai around the field.
The applause was incessant.
Meanwhile, on another field, Wenger and Henry, the two Frenchmen, stood on the pitch, looking up at the sky, sighing heavily.
Fate!
It was still a matter of not being tough enough!
This Premier League world cannot be without Arsenal, but Arsenal can no longer be the only one.
...
"This has been a great season! We’ve reclaimed what belongs to us! We have countless outstanding players, we have Ronaldo, Keane, Ferdinand, Beckham, Van Nistelrooy... and of course, I must mention a name that doesn’t entirely belong to Manchester United."
Ferguson mentioned Deng Kai in his acceptance speech: "Deng Kai! Emperor of Manchester City! Forever brother of Manchester United! Blue shirts can’t block your red heart!"
"You’re always welcome to join us!"
"If we join forces, the Premier League will forever belong to Manchester United! The Champions League will become ours for the taking!"
Well now!
Ferguson was openly courting Deng Kai.
That was a bit unsportsmanlike.
Deng Kai had first come over to cheer for your forward, Ronaldo, and had previously used public opinion to pressure Arsenal; yet once you’ve won the championship, you immediately turn around and try to poach him.
That was too much.
"Transfer! Transfer! Transfer!"
The Red Devils in the venue went wild.
They began to encourage Deng Kai to transfer.
Ronaldo was even more enthusiastic, dragging Deng Kai up to the podium.
From his cunning gaze, it wasn’t hard to see that Ferguson had instructed him to do so a while ago.
No wonder, when they were celebrating just now, Ronaldo insisted on putting his jersey on Deng Kai, ruining Deng Kai’s tailor-made Armani suit.
So this was the plan all along!
What a cunning banquet!
Since you, Ronaldo, and you, Ferguson, started the ruthlessness, you can’t blame me, Deng Kai, for not being righteous now, huh!
Deng Kai stood on the podium with great composure, took the microphone, and began to take control of the situation.
He signaled the fans to be quiet and listen to his speech.
"Hello, hello... can you hear me?"
The applause thundered through the venue.
Once Deng Kai confirmed the microphone was not muted, he began to congratulate Manchester United: "Manchester United is great, and I’ve always liked Manchester United very much. Joining Manchester City was a difficult and bold decision for me."
"But so far, I’m very satisfied with this adventure. I’m increasingly fond of Manchester City fans, and I know they’re growing fond of me too."
"I’m now wearing a Manchester United jersey and already feel very satisfied, but at the same time, I also know that in a real match, I’ll never have the chance to wear this jersey."
"It’s not that it’s not good enough, but... I’m really blue now!"
The atmosphere at Old Trafford Stadium hushed momentarily.
Everyone felt a sense of regret.
Was Deng Kai... rejecting Manchester United?
However, Ferguson, Ronaldo, and others didn’t think so.
As Deng Kai gradually felt the inadequacy of Manchester City, he would surely join Manchester United in the end.
He couldn’t possibly stay in a mid-table team forever.
The Golden Ball award doesn’t favor the leader of a mid-table team.
This year, Deng Kai had just joined the Premier League and brought a small, Kai-style shock to the world; he still had huge competitiveness for the Golden Ball award.
But what about next year?
Or the year after that?
If he can’t prove himself in the league and European competitions, how useful are a multitude of goals?
What does 30 goals plus 20 assists count for?
Data without honors is worthless!
Deng Kai is a smart man.
He won’t waste his years forever at Manchester City.
