The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 1131
1131 Premier League Suspense Settles
In the 26th minute of the first half, Zhong Zheng borrowed Stuart Downing’s shot and rushed out with the football in his arms. He threw the ball with a strong hand and threw it into the front court.
Diego Milito stopped the ball in the chest and shoved the ball diagonally to the side without turning around.
“Cristiano Ronaldo, charge!” The Leeds United fans roared and shouted wildly.
Cristiano Ronaldo pierced through Middlesbrough’s defensive line like a bolt of lightning. Cristiano Ronaldo scored into the Middlesbrough box with a straight cut and easily provoked goalkeeper Temble.
The football passed over Temble’s head and fell into the goal behind him.
Leeds United took the lead 1-0!
Before that, in the tenth minute, Arsenal had a 1-0 lead over Stoke City with a goal from Fabregas. It can be seen that Arsenal have risked their lives today and are still attacking ferociously.
But will their morale plummet when they hear that Leeds United have scored?
For Arsenal, if they want to surpass Leeds United and get fourth place in the Premier League, they need to make sure they don’t win.
However, now that Leeds United are ahead, if both matches end in their current form, Leeds United will be fourth in the Premier League this season. Arsenal will not be able to play in the Champions League next season, which the Arsenals do not want to see.
However, the situation now is that the Leeds United are ahead.
The fate of Arsenal is entirely in the hands of others. They are praying that the Middlesbrough men of Rice will do their best to fight against Leeds United.
Of course, Arsenal fans know it’s very difficult, almost impossible.
So now at Emirates Stadium, the morale of the Arsenal fans is low. Some people can’t help but cry.
Arsenal fans hate the damned Zhong Cheng and the damned Leeds United. Why would they want to fight us for fourth place? Why take away our Champions League qualification? Why?
Arsenal really hate Leeds United!
Leeds United are too unkind. As long as you win the Champions League, you are still qualified to advance to the Champions League. Then why are you still competing with Arsenal for the Champions League?
Damn Leeds United just can’t see Arsenal doing well. The damn Leeds United are Arsenal’s mortal enemy, damn rubbish!
Yes, there are a lot of Arsenal fans at Emirates Stadium who are cursing Leeds United. Leeds United are too careless and trash.
At this moment, Zhong Cheng did not let the Leeds United side give up any chance to counterattack. As long as there was a chance, the Leeds United had to grasp it and win this match.
Leeds United continued to defend their counterattack. Middlesbrough couldn’t sit still.
Middlesbrough must not lose this game. They must win to have a chance of relegation. They didn’t want to be relegated just like that, so they were attacking like crazy, attacking the damned Leeds United and scoring goals.
At this moment, the Middlesbrough people also hate the damned Leeds United. Why do you want to fight Middlesbrough to the death? Can’t you just raise your hand?
You still have Champions League titles to fight for and qualify for. Why do you have to fight for fourth place in the Champions League? Can you give us Middlesbrough some face and let us win?
Obviously, this was impossible!
Leeds United’s defense is very tight. Middlesbrough’s two strikers, Alfonso Alves and Aliadiere, are really not going to pass David Louis and Gary Cahill. They have no chance to threaten Leeds United.
Now that Middlesbrough fans are about to curse their main striker, what are you Tamar playing this season? Throughout the season, the two of you have scored only six goals in the league, not even double digits. Aren’t you ashamed?
Gradually, the Middlesbrough fans moved their guns and aimed at their own people. If the Middlesbrough players were to be relegated this season, it would be their own fault.
Middlesbrough fans are heartbroken, very, very heartbroken. Why is it like this this this season? This season, they once made it into the top eight of the Premier League. Where are they? Are they going to be relegated now?
The Middlesbrough fans couldn’t accept it anymore. Many people were shedding tears at the scene. Their hearts hurt very, very much. They couldn’t help it.
But even so, Leeds United did not hold back.
At the end of the first half of the match, the Leeds United sprinkled salt on the Middlesbrough wounds and slashed them fiercely.
As the first half drew to a close, Leeds United launched a quick counterattack.
After Tony Crosse caught the ball, he scored a goal for Middlesbrough and unexpectedly crossed the ball horizontally. Diego Milito, who was in the middle, easily scored their 20th Premier League goal of the season.
Diego Milito was substituted in the second half for next weekend’s Champions League final. At the same time, Cristiano Ronaldo and David Louis came to an end.
The young Levandowski is out, along with Marco Reus and Spurs Hummels.
Zhong Cheng was going to hold back.
However, the Middlesbrough and Arsenal players are not happy because the game has almost been decided.
However, what was unexpected was that Middlesbrough had suddenly scored a goal.
Tongcai suddenly shot a cold arrow at full-back Ivanovic’s leg and flew into Leeds United’s goal.
Middlesbrough scored a goal of luck and gave the Middlesbrough people hope.
Arsenal also received this news, they are very excited, Middlesbrough counterattack, Leeds United is going to be finished. Arsenal fans are cheering for the Middlesbrough men and looking forward to their miracle.
The Arsenal players were so excited that they worked very hard on the pitch, scoring three goals in five minutes and rewriting the score to 4-0.
The Arsenals are really crazy. They feel their chance has come and now it’s up to the Middlesbrough people. Now all the Arsenal players are pinning their hopes on the Middlesbrough man.
However, the Leeds Alliance quickly gave them a ruthless blow.
Levandowski, who played in the second half, received a pass from Gareth Bale in the penalty area. He jumped high, pushed Whitey and smashed his head into the ball, which flew straight into Middlesbrough’s goal.
Middlesbrough goalkeeper Tumble touched the ball with his fingertips but it was useless.
The football still mercilessly flew into Middlesbrough’s goal, extinguishing the tiny flames that had just ignited.
The Middlesbrough man is not desperate, but the Arsenal man is.
Arsenal fans are cursing the Leeds United frenziedly at the moment and are desperate to rush to the front court to fight them to the death.
The Arsenal players were also relieved and felt that there was no hope. They were also mentally distracted on the pitch and had no idea what to say.
At this time, Stoke City erupted with two consecutive goals in three minutes, changing the score to 2-4. Only then did Arsène Wenge react, berating the Arsenal players madly, telling them to come back to their senses and play well.
The Arsenal players almost flipped over in the sewer.
The game was not over yet, and Middlesbrough did not give up. They were frantically attacking. And after Southgate had replaced Alfonso Alves and Aliadiere angrily, Southgate really wanted to roar, “What use do I have for you two?”
By this time, almost everyone knew that the Middlesbrough people had no chance.
Not long after the two were replaced, Leeds United centre-back David Louis caught a pass from winger Marco Reus in a corner and smashed the ball into Middlesbrough’s goal, 4-1.
Leeds United relied on this goal to beat Middlesbrough 4-1, successfully defending fourth place in the Premier League.
On the other end of the pitch, Arsenal beat Stoke 4-3. Yes, Arsenal almost flipped over at the last minute, but they managed to win the game safely. However, they were not happy, and all of them cried out.
Arsenal, heartache!
At this time, the other matches of this round had also ended, and the competition for the championship, which had attracted much attention, had also come to an end. Liverpool beat Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 at Old Trafford and Chelsea nearly capsized after conceding two last-minute goals 3-2 away from home. Manchester United won the game 1-0 with a direct free-kick from Franck Ribery in the 82nd minute of the second half.
Liverpool and Chelsea are in for a tough time, and with the game coming to an end, they may be on the verge of winning, but the Manchester United man has killed their hopes at the last minute.
In the end, Manchester United won the Premier League this season and did not turn the tables at the last minute, topping the table with 85 points.
Liverpool have the same points as Chelsea, with 82 points in second or third place. Leeds United were fourth in the Premier League with 74 points. Arsenal are fifth in the Premier League with the same 74 points and are out of the Champions League next season.
United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Leeds United qualify for next season’s Champions League.
The last teams to be relegated were Newcastle United, Middlesbrough and West Bromwich Albion.
At this point, the 2008-2009 Premier League season officially came to an end!
