As a goalkeeper, carry the team forward

Chapter 34

"It's still a Premier League team. I like the feeling of the passionate collision of the Premier League." Jose said after thinking for a while.

"I understand. But I have an opinion, do you want to hear it?" Mendes nodded first, and then asked.

"Sir, please tell me." Jose looked at Mendez quietly, his eyes full of curiosity.

"The development potential of the Premier League is huge, and the income level of clubs is constantly increasing, which makes the salary level of players much higher than that of other leagues. But because of the fierce competition in the Premier League, it is not an easy task to win the championship honor in the Premier League ’” Mendes said slowly.

"What does Mr. Imendez mean?" Jose also fell into deep thought after hearing what Mendez said, but he asked after a while.

"In my opinion, you should first base yourself in the Premier League. If you have the opportunity, don't resist playing in other leagues. Like Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, Paris Saint-Germain in France, and Real Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga, the probability of winning the championship is far greater than that of any team in the Premier League. Team," Mendes said.

"Thank you, Mr. Mendes, I will keep your words in mind." Jose thanked Mendes.

Mendes is right. In the Premier League, to gain a firm foothold on the championship throne, in addition to the strength of the team, it also needs enough luck.

The Premier League team can win three of the Champions League semi-finals, but in the end it is difficult to win the final championship. There is a factor that cannot be ignored, that is, the domestic competition is too fierce, which leads to excessive fatigue in the European competition.

Of course, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​and Bayern are also super strong.

Mendes looked at Jose, smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "First of all, I wish you a firm foothold in the Premier League!"

"Thank you." Jose nodded.

……

After lunch, Jose took a short rest in the hotel, and followed Mendes to the Etihad Stadium, preparing to watch the final battle between Manchester City and Queens Park Rangers.

In the Premier League, with Mansour's continuous investment, today's Manchester City has become a strong contender for the championship trophy from the original mid-lower team.

This season, under the leadership of Mancini, although there were bumps and bumps all the way, before the start of the final round, they gained a rare initiative. With a huge goal difference advantage, they beat Manchester United to the top of the list Location.

If Manchester City wins the final round, they will step on Manchester United and win the first Premier League title in team history.

Queens Park Rangers are currently No.37 with 17 points. Behind them is Bolton with 35 points. As long as they don't lose in the last round, they will definitely succeed in relegation.

If Bolton wants to surpass the Queen's Park Wanderers and succeed in relegation, in addition to winning, they must also pray for the opponent to lose.

Of course, the good news for Bolton is that their opponent Stoke City has nothing left.

For several teams, this will be a contest of life and death.

……

At 8pm local time in the UK, the weather will be mostly sunny with temperatures ranging from 13 to [-] degrees.

There is no doubt that this is a very suitable weather for football games.

20 Premier League teams, a total of ten games, will be played at the same time.

The fans who watched the game on the spot, in addition to watching the game on the court intently, they also tried to learn about other games from the radio station.

In the 20th minute of the first half, Wayne Rooney opened the scoring for Manchester United. They led their opponent Sunderland by 1 goal in the away game.

When the news of Manchester United's lead reached the Etihad Stadium, Manchester City fans became a little anxious.

"Manchester City is going to strengthen their offense." Mendes said with a smile after learning that Manchester United was ahead.

"Manchester United ahead?" Jose asked Mendez because he didn't have a radio.

"Yes." Mendez nodded.

Sure enough, in the 39th minute, relying on Zabaleta's goal, Manchester City temporarily led Queens Park Rangers 1-0 at home.

Queens Park Wanderers are simply indifferent to being one goal behind, because their relegation opponents Bolton are trailing Stoke City 0-1 at this time.

However, the situation changed suddenly, and Bolton, who was behind, heard that Queen's Park was also behind. Seeing the hope of relegation, they began to fight back frantically, and finally scored two goals in a row at the end of the second half, reversing Stoke City.

If the scores of all teams do not change, the final result is that Queens Park Wanderers will be relegated, and their relegation opponent Bolton will escape.

Obviously, such a result is absolutely unacceptable for Queens Park Rangers.

At the beginning of the second half, Queens Park Wanderers fought back frantically and directly overwhelmed the powerful Manchester City in their own half.

Only 3 minutes later, Queens Park Wanderers equalized the score through Cisse's contribution.

Jose finally saw the terrifying energy erupted by the relegation team in order to succeed in relegation.

Queens Park Wanderers equalized, Manchester City is naturally unwilling, because it means that they will miss the Premier League title.

Manchester City began to counterattack.

In the 55th minute, an accident happened, and J Barton of Queens Park Wanderers received a ruby ​​card.

The number of homeless people in Queen's Park suddenly decreased by one.

With the double advantages of strength and numbers, Manchester City began to attack Queens Park Wanderers without any scruples.

In just a few minutes, they had taken more shots than Queens Park Wanderers had taken in the entire game.

Just when people were looking forward to when Manchester City would take the lead again, Queens Park Wanderers got a rare chance to fight back.

Queens Park Rangers player McGee made another victory, and Queens Park Rangers reversed Manchester City 2-1 away.

I don't know if it was because of the news of Queen's Park Wanderers' reversal, Bolton played a little listless in the second half.

In the 77th minute, Bolton sent a penalty kick package, Stoke City player Walters scored a penalty kick to equalize, and Bolton fell into hell again.

Sitting in the auditorium, Jose was filled with emotion when he heard the ever-changing score information. The intensity of the Premier League was far beyond his imagination.

Queens Park Wanderers also heard the news that Bolton was equalized, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Holding the lead, Queens Park Wanderers chose to retreat to their own half, making it clear that they must stick to the end.

In the 69th minute, Manchester City coach Mancini began to make the second personnel adjustment. He replaced Barry with Dzeko and wanted to further strengthen the offensive firepower.

However, little effect has been achieved.

In the 76th minute, Mancini adjusted again, he replaced Carlos Tevez with Balotelli.

As a result, the three forwards of Aguero, Balotelli, and Dzeko took turns to attack, but they still failed to create threatening opportunities.

Jose's mood gradually tensed up, he knew that Manchester City must win this game, otherwise they would really miss the league title.

……

Time passed slowly.

The game is also gradually entering a white-hot stage.

Queens Park Wanderers still put up a tenacious resistance, and their performance is breathtaking.

It has to be said that under such circumstances, it is not easy for them to still be able to keep the score under the pressure of Manchester City.

Soon, the game entered stoppage time, with only 5 minutes left for Manchester City. Do they still have hope of winning the league title?
