    "No!" Boya's voice was not loud, but his tone was firm and did not even leave any room for negotiation, which made Lin Sen feel helpless.  ¨R A month has passed since Cambridge United won the league championship. A month is not long or short, but it is enough to happen. For example, Cambridge United squeezed out Chesterfield and ranked second in the league standings, and  Directly determining a promotion spot, for example, allows Cambridge United to still have a chance to counterattack Sheffield United, which has been leading for most of the season, with only one round left in the league.  For Cambridge United fans, this past season has been a dream season, because their team achieved a dream feat: three consecutive promotions.  It has been a successful season for Tang Hua and his boys, but the season is not over yet and they still have a goal to chase.  For Lin Sen, this season is actually over.  Whether he can reverse Sheffield United and win the championship in the last round is not that important to Lin Sen. The most important thing is that Cambridge United has been promoted, and that is enough.  From the club's perspective, promotion to the English Championship means that the club's income will be greatly increased. Sponsorship fees, advertising fees, TV broadcast income all income will be qualitatively improved, although these incomes are not as high as those in the Premier League.  Compared with the big cake, it is still a drop in the bucket, but for Cambridge United, which has just been promoted from League One, it is already a leap.  However, upgrade is a good thing, but there is no free dinner in the world. Moving from League One to the Championship means Cambridge United has returned to the attention of the mainstream media in England, but at the same time, there is also the pressure that follows.  From a purely competitive perspective, although the English Championship is only a second-tier league in England, it has actually approached the standards of some of the top leagues in some European countries in many aspects.  So, I entered the professional track.  Naturally, it is impossible to still ride a bicycle. At the very least, you can keep up with all the various configurations.  It is precisely because of this that Lin Sen had the idea of ??increasing the transfer budget for Tang Hua in the new season. What he did not expect was that before he could finish his words, he was directly rejected by Cambridge United's de facto "finance minister" Boya.  .  "Is it possible that when you reach the British Championship, you still expect Tang to lead this group of children to conquer the world?" Lin Sen spread his hands and said with a wry smile.  However, as for Lin Sen.  Boya seemed indifferent. She said calmly, "Of course I know this is unfair to Tang. But have you ever thought about other things? Or do you really think you are a super rich man?" Lin Sen's face suddenly changed.  Somewhat embarrassing.  He actually didn¡¯t know about the other things Boya said.  Coming from English League One to the English Championship, competitive pressure is one aspect, but it is definitely not the whole story.  In the eyes of fans, upgrading means that the team's income is high, so they should introduce more high-level players in the transfer market.  But for the club, the most urgent thing is not signings, but "upgrading" in all other aspects.  ?For example, the Abbey Stadium needs to be expanded.  The Abbey Stadium, which can theoretically accommodate nearly 9,000 fans, has an actual capacity of less than 7,000. Last season, with Cambridge United's excellent results, the Abbey Stadium has experienced several overflow challenges.  In the new season of the English Championship, fan attendance is bound to increase, after reaching an agreement with Cambridge City Council to "redemption" the ownership of the Abbey Stadium.  The expansion of the Abbey Stadium was originally part of the club's plans, but now it seems particularly urgent.  Dave Dougan has met with Paul Gary several times on this matter. The expansion of the Abbey Stadium is about to start this summer, which requires real money.  Another example is the treatment of players and staff.  Perhaps it is because no one thought that Cambridge United could actually be promoted. Although the current contracts of most Cambridge United players and staff do not have a hard clause about upgrade and salary increase, it does not mean that it does not need to be considered.  No one would reject a higher salary, let alone for a legitimate reason. English League One has English League One wage standards, and the English Championship naturally has English Championship wage standards. This has nothing to do with loyalty or disloyalty.  A family needs to be fed.  Therefore, the team¡¯s salary budget is bound to be ¡°upgraded¡±, which also requires real money.  ¡­ There are also aspects such as the upgrade of the team¡¯s training facilities, the upgrade of youth training facilities, etc. These all require the club to come up with a clear plan, and every plan is directly related to money.  Of course, the transfer budget is also an indispensable part, but apparently in Boya's view, Lin Sen's increase in investment in this part is undoubtedly a "willful" attempt.  As she said, Lin Sen is not a super rich man. With his wealth, he may still have the ability to acquire a League One club, but this is without spending money recklessly. What's more, the current swordBridge United is about to become a British Championship team, and it is even less likely to be "overdrawn" in any aspect.  "How about adding a little more?" Lin Sen suddenly said with a playful smile.  Seeing Lin Sen's appearance, Boya couldn't help but laugh and cry, "Are all people who have been football coaches like this?" "You don't know what it's like to be a head coach and have no money to spend." Lin Sen also said with a wry smile.  "It's actually not impossible." Seeing that Lin Sen's words didn't seem to be fake, Boya thought for a moment and said, "I have a meeting with the bank next week. If everything goes well, maybe Tang will be able to have more money this summer."  "Five million?" Lin Sen said happily.  "Impossible." Boya once again extinguished Lin Sen's hope without mercy.  "How much is that?" Lin Sen frowned.  "Two million at most." "Three million?" "No!"  ¡ª¡ª Of course Tang Hua couldn't know that the season wasn't over yet, Lin Sen  For him and his wife, they have already begun to bargain like buying food at the market, just to get more transfer budget for him in the summer.  At this time, all his thoughts are on the last round of the season.  The overall situation of English League One has been decided at present. In addition to the championship and relegated teams, there is still some suspense. The promoted teams and the teams in the promotion play-offs have been determined. Sheffield United and Cambridge United have become the teams that will directly advance.  , and among the three to six, third-placed Chesterfield is four points away from Cambridge United and it is no longer possible to advance directly. Sixth-placed Bury is also four points ahead of seventh-placed Crewe.  It also ensured its qualification to participate in the play-offs.  In the last round of the league, Cambridge United¡¯s opponent was fourth-placed Blackpool.  For Blackpool, they have nothing to ask for in the regular season this season. They have qualified for the play-offs and are five points behind third-placed Chesterfield. It is no longer possible to improve their ranking. According to the play-offs,  The rules of the game are three against six and four against five. Even if they lose this game against Cambridge United.  Their opponent will still be Bradford.  But obviously Blackpool head coach Hyypia doesn¡¯t think so.  The conversation with Carl Robinson still seems to be ringing in his ears. Although in the face of reality, Hyypia has to admit that Carl Robinson's optimism for Cambridge United is indeed not unfounded. However, this does not change Hyypia's view of Cambridge United.  He knew that Cambridge United was eager for a victory in this game to compete for the final championship opportunity, but no one wanted their team to be beaten twice by the same team in the season.  The game was held on a rainy day.  But the bad weather did not affect the enthusiasm of the home fans. This was the final game of the season at Abbey Stadium, and no Cambridge United fan was willing to miss this scene.  What's more, after this game, they may even witness Cambridge United becoming the league champion.  Although, this requires some luck.  And it also requires Sheffield United lacking some luck.  Perhaps due to the rainy weather, both sides made frequent mistakes in the first half of the game.  Most of the time, the fans in the stands seemed to only see the two teams focusing on destruction, and the score remained motionless at zero to zero. The only consolation may be that in another game  In one game, Sheffield United, playing away from home, also failed to knock on the door of Rochdale.  In the second half, the game changed sides and the rain became heavier. However, the referee did not think that it was necessary to suspend the game. As a result, the performance of the two teams was still affected, and mistakes became the main theme again. Just as the head coaches of both sides coincided with each other on the sidelines,  When he frowned, the set piece became the key to breaking the deadlock in the game.  In the 68th minute, in an obviously water-filled field, George, whose personal skills were greatly affected, almost rolled and crawled to win a corner kick for Cambridge United. It was through this corner kick that Stam's head  The ball knocked on the door of Blackpool, and the score was 1-0. The cheers above the Abbey Stadium finally drowned out the sound of rain.  But the cheers of Cambridge United fans did not last long. It was also a set kick, and Blackpool gave Cambridge United a backhand blow.  Myers won a free kick 20 meters in front of the goal. The angle of the penalty shot by Wardworth was not awkward, it could even be said to be very positive. However, the road was not only slippery on a rainy day, but Cambridge United goalkeeper Norris was trying to save the ball.  When he got the ball, he accidentally let it slip out of his arms. Mels, who had just won a free kick for Blackpool, easily pushed and scored.  In less than five minutes, the score changed again and again. The only thing that remained unchanged was that the game was still a draw, and this became the ending of the game.  When the referee blows the end whistle of the gameWhen the sound was heard, applause still erupted from the stands at the Abbey Stadium.  As another battlefield, Sheffield United, finally defeated Rochdale with a score of 2-0. In the end, Cambridge United still failed to reverse the championship at the last minute, but in any case, for Cambridge United fans, this is already the end of the world.  A perfect enough season.  "Congratulations." After the game, Hyypia came to Tang Hua and took the initiative to extend his hand.  Sheffield United's win means that even if Cambridge United wins the game, they still cannot win the championship. Perhaps this cannot make Cambridge United less disappointed about losing the championship, but it is more or less a comforting excuse. Of course, Hainan United won the championship.  Pia's congratulations were, on the surface, congratulations to Tang Hua for leading his team to successfully upgrade, although there was a hint of schadenfreude in it.  "Thank you." Tang Hua also extended his hand.  Not being able to win the championship was naturally a bit disappointing, but he would not blame the opponent for this.  However, after thanking you, Tang Hua added, "I wish you good luck." It was not a sarcasm, but Tang Hua's wish you good luck also had a good reason. Didn't Blackpool want to play in the play-offs?  That's a place that requires luck.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
