Chapter 328 What a shame!

In the final round of the Premier League, fans are focusing on three cities: London, Birmingham and Liverpool!

Because these three cities have a conflict of interest in this final round. The first two are competing for the Premier League championship, and Liverpool are competing for the Champions League seat.

As for the relegation battle that was originally the focus of attention in the final round of each season, there is no suspense in this season.Because after the 37th round, the three relegation spots have all been settled. Leicester City, Wolves, and Leeds United only scored 33 points, which is 5 points less than the fourth-to-last Manchester City. It will be relegated to the second tier of competition, which will be renamed the English Champions League next season.

It is reported that the English Football Association will go to two stadiums with two championship trophies in the final round of the league.The difference is that the trophy brought to Villa Park is the real thing and the one brought to Highbury is a replica.

If Arsenal wins the championship, the replica trophy will be used for the award ceremony first, and then the real one will be replaced.This is because at present, it seems that Manchester United, which leads in points, has the greatest hope of winning the championship.

Although many people are not optimistic about Manchester United's victory at Villa Park, considering the strength of their opponents and the related competition for Champions League qualifications, but in terms of probability, Manchester United may be more likely to win the championship.

As long as the Red Devils win, they will definitely win the championship, and they don't need to care about the scores and results of other games.

Yes, a draw does not ensure United win the title.

If Manchester United and Villa draw and Arsenal wins, Manchester United will definitely lose the championship, because they are currently only 1 point ahead of Arsenal!
………………

2004 5 Month 15 Day.

All ten games in the No.30 eighth round of the Premier League and the final round of the league will kick off on time at [-]:[-] pm GMT and [-]:[-] pm Beijing time.

At around twelve noon, two or three hours before the start of the game, Aston Villa fans were already queuing up to enter the stadium.

The official website of Aston Villa Club called on fans to come to the Villa Park Stadium to cheer for the team, fill the stadium, and prepare for the club's first promotion to the Champions League after a lapse of 21 years.

It is said that this call was issued at the request of Aston Villa's head coach David O'Reilly.

And the attention of this game is indeed very high, and all the tickets were sold out half a month ago.Even tickets for the cheapest seats, with bad seats and obstructed views, were snapped up by fans.

According to the "Times" prediction, on the day of the game, if Aston Villa beat Manchester United to win the fourth place in the Premier League, more than [-] Aston Villa fans will flock to Villa Park Stadium and nearby blocks.

Despite being lonely for many years, Aston Villa is considered one of the clubs with the most fans in England.

Another point is that Aston Villa enjoys the widest support among the British high society.Not only because of the legend that the royal family supports Aston Villa, but also for other reasons.

For example, the team was established early. Aston Villa was established in [-] and is one of the senior members of the English Football League.

For example, the results were quite good at one time, especially in the early days. In the [-]th century, the top league champions won five times and the FA Cup three times.

Although it fell for a time later, the history of "Villa ZTE" was staged again in the 80s.Especially in 1982 also won the Champions League, is one of the only four English teams.

This is an important reason why Villa can attract a large number of fans and make it a fan for generations.

Of course, this is the blessing of history, and now Aston Villa's new star fans are not as good as Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool.

………………

In the last round of the game, the Villars did not give face to the legendary big brother Manchester United.David O'Reilly sent all the main players to fight for a ticket to the Champions League, which is unlikely to be possible.

Even the tickets, at the Villa Park Stadium, which can accommodate nearly 3000 people, only [-] tickets were given to the visiting team.

For the Manchester United fans who came to the away game, their positions were all arranged in an inconspicuous corner, and there were several rows of vacant positions next to them, separated by security personnel.

Although the relationship between Manchester United and Aston Villa is good, on such a special day, it is difficult to guarantee that the fans will become irrational after encountering special circumstances.

For example, if Manchester United cannot win and thus cannot win the championship, maybe Manchester United fans will make some extreme behaviors in extreme disappointment.

………………

"GOOOOOOOAAALLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Amidst John Mortensen's iconic shouts, the huge Villa Park stadium fell into silence, only the [-] Manchester United fans in the corner were cheering heartily.

Just in the 4th minute of the game, the Red Devils led the home team Aston Villa 1-0 with Ronaldo's goal.

High center Crouch missed the first long-range shot amidst the cheers of the home team's supporters, but Villa's European dream was hit first in the 4th minute. Dela Cruz's random header was saved by Ronaldo, the Portuguese Breaking through to 10 yards in front of the goal, he shot from the outside of his right foot from the near corner to take the lead.

On the pitch, the Manchester United players were enthusiastically celebrating the goal.

Ferguson didn't get up, he sat on the coach's bench, turned his head and asked, "How is Arsenal going?"

Mike Phelan has been paying attention to the news outside the stadium, and he replied: "Arsenal is still 0:0."

Ferguson nodded and didn't say anything. The game has just started for 5 minutes, and it's still too early to say anything.As for the match between Liverpool and Newcastle, he didn't pay attention at all because it had nothing to do with Manchester United.

………………

Highbury Stadium.

"Manchester United scored, and it was the Portuguese boy you like very much," assistant coach Pat Rice told Wenger.

The professor nodded expressionlessly, but his mood was not calm at all.

Although many people were optimistic about Arsenal winning the championship unbeaten before the game, their conditions for winning the championship were very harsh: that is, Manchester United could not win, which is a prerequisite, and then they themselves won Leicester at home. city.

It is not difficult for Arsenal to win the relegated Blue Fox at home, but the problem is that Manchester United cannot win Aston Villa.

It is true that Arsenal had already influenced the Aston Villa coach through some actions before the game, but this still did not play a big role.Because from the perspective of Premier League history, Aston Villa can be called Manchester United's point-giving boy. In the first round of this season, Manchester United swept Aston Villa 4:0 at home.

Aston Villa performed very well this season, but in the game against Manchester United, they were completely unable to toughen up.

No, this game only started 4 minutes ago, and they conceded the goal at home.

"It's so disappointing!" Wenger cursed secretly in his heart.
