The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 576
576 Our Goal-Fourth in the League!
After 20 league matches, the first team in the league was still Red Manchester United. They now had 50 points. It was the first team to score 50 points this season, topping the league and smiling arrogantly.
Ranked fourth was Arsenal, who scored 36 points, but Sheffield also scored 36 points on Wednesday and scored fewer goals. The Bolton team also had 36 points, ranking sixth. Liverpool were seventh with 34 points.
This is the current form of the Premier League.
The competition for the championship was very intense, and the competition for fourth place in the league was also very intense.
This season’s Premier League is really a bit of a Warring States competition!
However, Manchester United are now riding on a peerless, arrogant team ah. They are five points ahead of Leeds United in second place. The difference in points is not big, but it is not easy for Leeds United to catch up to Manchester United because they are in great shape.
Zhong Cheng hoped that Manchester United would have some of the same problems as Chelsea. Unfortunately, Manchester United were now a solid team with a strong will to win the Premier League.
To tell you the truth, Zhong Chengzhen trusted you a little.
At the World Cup in Germany, Cristiano Ronaldo and Little Fatty Lu were already at odds with each other. Cristiano Ronaldo has repeatedly called for his departure from Manchester United to join Real Madrid.
Even when it was time to return, Cristiano Ronaldo was still hanging out, reluctant to meet up with the club, claiming he was leaving Manchester United.
Somehow, this guy was convinced by Alex Ferguson and came back.
After returning, Cristiano Ronaldo and Little Fatty Lu showed their affection in front of the media reporters, saying that there was no problem between the two of them. On the national team, the two of them were their masters. They were not enemies, but good friends.
After returning to the club, they will work together sincerely and strive for the same goal.
Holy shit, seeing this scene, many people felt that they were blind. There are even more people who think that their IQ has been insulted. Is it really okay for you to deceive us with such hypocrisy?
Regardless of how unbelievable the fans and media reporters are, Manchester United are doing very well internally. Cristiano Ronaldo and Little Fatty Lu do have very little communication, but they seem to be on good terms and are not as bad as speculated.
Many people outside wanted to provoke the relationship between the two of them.
So, Manchester United are really hard to deal with now, and it’s really, really difficult for someone to destroy them.
Manchester United are in good shape now and everyone can only hope that the Reds make mistakes on their own.
Moreover, everyone knew that it would be very difficult for the team to win without losing. They are convinced Manchester United will never win like this forever, not at all.
Next up comes the 21st Premier League game, which is the last game of 2006. After this round of matches, time will enter 2007, and the door to a winter transfer will open.
Leeds United played Manchester City at home. The result for Manchester City this season was terrible. They now had 23 points, ranking 15th in the Premier League and sixth from bottom. They were also very close to the relegation zone.
The demotion zone had 18 points, and they were only five points ahead of their opponents. This was extremely unsafe. Now that the league was in the second half, Manchester City had to work hard. Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to relegate. This time against Leeds United, who were second in the league, Manchester City still had some ideas.
The Manchester City players have always believed that the current rankings do not correspond to their strength. The Manchester City players believe they should be at least in the top seven of the Premier League, and even qualifying for the Champions League is not impossible.
So even though they are now facing Leeds United, the second team in the Premier League, they are confident they can face Leeds United head-on.
This match is the Chinese derby again!
There were Chinese players like Sun Jihai in the Manchester City team formation and Chinese players like Shao Jiayi in the Leeds United team. This match was naturally a match that the Chinese media paid great attention to, and there were countless fans in China watching this match.
Even the media such as the BBC and Sky Sports paid great attention to this match because they knew that there were hundreds of millions of Chinese fans sitting in front of the TV watching this match in China. They also attached great importance to this match.
However, at the beginning of the competition, everyone was very disappointed.
In this match, not only did Leeds United not send out Shao Jiayi, the Chinese player in their formation, but even City did not send out Sun Jihai, their Chinese player.
Sun Jihai still has a place in Manchester City, and most of the time he is the team’s main right-back. Moreover, Sun Jihai was a panacea. Other than the position of goalkeeper, he could play. He was the patcher of the Manchester City Club. Since there weren’t many people in that position, he could fill it.
In Manchester City there are a lot of fans who like Sun Jihai, claiming he is one of the best foreign players in the club’s history.
However, Sun Jihai had missed some matches because of injuries. Although he had recovered from his injuries and was ready to play in this match, Manchester City still did not let him play. Sun Jihai sat on the bench and waited for an opportunity.
Shao Jiayi of Leeds United did not have such a good life. Not only did Shao Jiayi not start this match, he did not even enter the bench. Shao Jiayi sat in the stands and watched the match, so the so-called “Chinese derby” was just another empty word and could not fight at all.
At the beginning of the game, Manchester City played very fiercely and it was clear that they were coming for victory.
Manchester City wanted to get three points from Leeds United, but these three points were equally important to Leeds United. Leeds United would not easily hand over these three points.
The match between Manchester United and Chelsea was over yesterday. Manchester United narrowly beat Reading 3-2, while Chelsea were tied again at home by Fulham.
Yes, Chelsea Football Club have been tied for two consecutive games.
José Mourinho is in a very bad situation. Abramovich is manipulating some media to put pressure on José Mourinho, and rumours are wildly circulating that José Mourinho is about to be sacked and that Chelsea’s manager position is about to change.
At this moment, there were still a lot of media that supported Shevchenko, claiming that this was the result of José Mourinho not letting Shevchenko play. If he could switch to Shevchenko or let him start, what would Chelsea do in this game?
In any case, the internal problems of Chelsea are very, very serious. The dressing room is about to explode.
It was a bargain for Manchester United and Leeds United.
Manchester United are as steady as ever, although they still have some thrilling wins. However, there was no other choice. Manchester United were always able to win. Now, Manchester United’s points were still 53 points. If Leeds United lost, the gap would be widened, and it would be difficult for them to get it back.
Therefore, no matter what, Leeds United had to clench their teeth and win this match.
On the pitch, Manchester City attacked ferociously, while Leeds United’s players huddled in their own half, waiting for a chance to counterattack.
The Manchester City players knew that the Leeds United counterattack was very powerful, but for three points, they still chose to attack, attacking crazily and attacking Leeds United.
Manchester City’s offense was quite good, it did create some trouble for Zhong Zheng. It made the Leeds United fans on the scene look very scared and worried.
However, at the beginning of the second half, Leeds United winger Ribery came to his senses. After a series of winger breakthroughs, he passed the ball horizontally to Luca Tony in the middle. Luca Tony pushed the ball forward and pushed the ball into the goal with ease.
Leeds United scored in the second half of the game, which was a big blow to Manchester City. The Manchester City fans were expressionless and their hearts were in pain.
Manchester City continued to strengthen their offense, and they would not admit defeat just like that.
In the second half of the game, Manchester City attacked ferociously, but their defence was empty.
In the 29th minute of the second half, Leeds United seized another chance to counter-attack and Modric shot through Manchester City’s goal.
Leeds United beat Manchester City 2-0 at home and scored three points.
At the end of this match, Sun Jihai did not play. Instead, he sat on the bench for 90 minutes. This naturally made hundreds of millions of Chinese fans very unhappy. What about the agreed Chinese derby?
However, there was nothing they could do. They were not the head coaches of the team. What else could they say?
It was a good win for Zhong Cheng. At the very least, they were biting down on the Manchester United team in front of them and widening the gap between them and Chelsea Football Club. The pressure on Zhong Cheng was much lighter.
And this round of matches, the Premier League table has undergone a very big change.
The top three of the league remained the same, with Manchester United, Leeds United and Chelsea still in the top three, while the fourth place was changed after Arsenal, who had previously lost fourth place in the league, were knocked down. Sitting in fourth place was Bolton, who scored 39 points to become fourth in the league.
Ranked fifth in the league is not Arsenal nor Sheffield Wednesday, but a late-comer, Liverpool, who now have 37 points. Arsenal and Sheffield both lost this round with 36 points.
The Arsenal men were suddenly nervous. They had not played in the Champions League this season. If they did not play in the Champions League next season, they would be crazy.
Now they are ranked sixth in the league, which is something they can’t accept and tolerate. They are now three points behind fourth-placed Bolton and Arsenal are confident they can quickly surpass their predecessors and return to the top four.
Yes, now Arsenal have no hopes of winning the Premier League. Their only goal now is to fight for fourth place in the Premier League, yes, for fourth place in the Premier League!
