Chapter 104 League Ranking

There are still 9 rounds until the end of the season, and the points of each team are as follows.

First; Manchester City, 20 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses, points: 65.

Second: Chelsea, 20 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses, points: 64.

Third: Manchester United, 18 wins, 7 draws and 3 losses, points: 61.

Fourth: Tottenham Hotspur, 18 wins, 6 draws and 4 losses, points: 60.

Fifth: Liverpool, 17 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses, points: 56.

Due to Arsenal's preparations for the Champions League, their results are not good, and they are in the seventh position.

Leicester City suffered setbacks in the Champions League. After returning to the league, they were sluggish and their results got worse and worse. Even some teams with big belly couldn't win. Now they have left the championship team and dropped to 10th in the league. .

Chelsea climbed all the way to second place while the Premier League team was preparing for the Champions League. Manchester City maintained its dominance in the league as always, but the points gap is not that big. The victory or defeat of a game will determine the ranking.

There were some problems in Manchester United's pursuit battle, mainly because of the frequent conflicts between Pogba and Mourinho. There were even several games where Mourinho put him on the bench and did not regain the chance to play until recently. It is estimated that reconciliation was carried out within the club.

But Pogba also gradually began to indulge, changing his hairstyle to pursue fashion, and becoming a frequent visitor of "The Sun".

Anyway, there is another problem within Manchester United, and it is a sharp conflict between the coach and Pogba.

At present, the problem brought up by the English media is that Mourinho wanted Pogba to change his way of playing football, but the two failed to discuss, and in the end they disliked each other, causing Manchester United to fight in the palace.

But one thing I have to admire is that they can still guarantee the league ranking when something goes wrong, which also makes Manchester United fans worry.

 …

On March 19, the 29th round of the Premier League in the 2016/2017 season.

Tottenham Hotspur VS Southampton.

Southampton's recent situation is not good either. Their poor performance in the Champions League has caused them to be criticized by the English media.

This not only caused ups and downs in the player's state, but even the club fought with the media every day, and the league results plummeted.

There are trolls everywhere, and the English media is the biggest troll.

Southampton's performance in the Champions League made them the target of public criticism. After waiting for them to scold them for almost half a season, anyone who was scolded like this would have their mentality exploded.

It can be said that Southampton has been in a very bad state recently.

Of course, this is an internal relationship in Southampton. For Tottenham, they are happy to see it happen.

Now Tottenham puts most of their energy on the Champions League. In the league, they have the mentality of losing as little as possible and brutalizing weak teams.

Even the English media generally believed that this was a one-sided massacre.

Today's Southampton is a typical example of being criticized by the English media. They played well in the civil war and have the ability to play other league teams in the Champions League!

What an embarrassment to the Premier League!

Everyone felt that Tottenham could easily win, but the progress of the game was unexpected.

Southampton's defense actually caused Tottenham a lot of trouble.

Among them, Yoshida Asagi, Japan's No. 1 central defender, also formed a defensive gate with Stephens, rejecting several shots from Harry Kane.

The two seemed very excited. Every time the defense overwhelmed Harry Kane, they would smile and help Harry Kane up, making the latter confused.

Stephens smiled and turned his head and said; "I blocked Kane for the second time."

Yoshida Asa also snorted, and said, "I even blocked Yi's exquisite through ball!"

The two looked at each other, and both laughed lightly.

The two people who spoke had their own plans in mind.

For Maya Yoshida, his idea is simple, he wants to join Tottenham.

As Japan's No. 1 central defender, he even has the reputation of Asia's No. 1 defender.

But that was picking a general out of dwarfs. After coming to Europe, he was nothing,

But despite this, he also had dreams.

He wants to be famous, he wants to be a big star.

And Tottenham is his best choice.

Look at the two Asians playing at Tottenham right now.

A Sun Xingmin is already recognized as the king of football in South Korea.

Not to mention Yi Le, the second most expensive person in Europe, Mr. 160 million is more than a head higher than the one above.

If in a head-on confrontation, guarding against this European-level Mr. Difficult, this is the most effective way to prove yourself, and it is also an opportunity.

As for Stephens, his thoughts are a little different, but the starting point is the same, he also wants to join Tottenham.

But there is only one reason for him to join Tottenham, and that is grades.

And Tottenham has Yi Le, which is a proof of hard power,

He wants to join Tottenham, he wants to be teammates with Yi Le, he wants to compete in higher-level cups, such as the Champions League...

For this reason, he interrupted the ongoing negotiations to renew the contract. He felt that after the end of this season, Tottenham would carry out the signing of the defense. After all, Tottenham's defense is not a small problem, except for Alderweird. , everyone else's performance is not satisfactory.

Therefore, the defensive gate formed by the two is undoubtedly sending a signal to Tottenham.

‘Hey, everyone, do you think we are qualified? Do you want to consider bringing us in? '

Of course, there are many Premier League players with this idea.

The back line is relatively small, and it is considered fierce in the midfield position.

Every defensive midfielder in the Premier League will take the initiative to find Yi Le, seeking an opportunity to prove himself.

Now Yi Le is not an unknown person. As the most expensive player in the Premier League, he is a target, a target for a Premier League player to prove himself.

Even some young players who have just landed in the Premier League, or are defending Yi Le for their first show, or have a good pass against Yi Le will be infinitely magnified by the media.

Countless players want to step on the super stepping stone of Yi Le.

But the problem is, this stepping stone is a bit hot, and if I don't do it, I will lose it.

Yi Le sent away many midfielders.

The two favorites before, one was kicked by Yi Le to be autistic in the arena, and the other was directly lifted out of the Premier League.

But despite this, there are still batch after batch of players who want to challenge Yi Le and prove themselves.

 …

Southampton defended the first half, but after entering the second half, their fitness problems appeared.

Tottenham launched a series of crazy counterattacks.

The rebroadcast shot gave a close-up of Yi Le, and the depressed expression of the Chinese star was clearly visible.

"It seems that the two defensive players in Southampton have caused a lot of trouble for Tottenham, and we can see that Yi's expression is very serious." An England commentator laughed and joked: "I think this is not a good thing. "

As soon as the words fell, Yi Le sent an exquisite through ball, which directly tore through Southampton's half-court defense.

Harry Kane received the ball, without any adjustments, and fired in response to the ball, scoring a winning goal.

Accompanied by the goal, Yi Le glanced at the helpless Yoshida Asaya and Stephens, snorted softly, turned around and returned to halftime, as if to say, 'Take it away! next batch! '

Southampton's defense collapsed.

They could no longer prevent Tottenham's offense. When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Tottenham 2-0 Southampton.

Son Heung-min came off the bench and scored a goal.

 …

Seven days later, Tottenham ushered in the 30th round of the Premier League.

On March 21, Tottenham ushered in the FA Cup, but Villas-Boas had decided to give up the cup, so he sent a full substitute lineup.

Munir started, and the guy looked excited.

Wearing a thick down jacket, Yi Le squatted on the ground and arranged the socks for his friend himself. He got up and smiled and patted the other person's shoulder, saying, "Come on."

Munir glanced at Yi Le and said helplessly, "Hey, I really want to play football with you."

Munir also knew in his heart that he couldn't compete with the two leaders of Tottenham's striker, Harry Kane and Ibrahimovic, even the half-dead Toniu could compare him.

Substitute number four?

Munir's heart was full of bitterness. He looked at Yi Le. His former friend was already a world-renowned superstar, but he was still struggling to start the game. This psychological gap made him very uncomfortable.

"Yi, let's go!"

Harry Kane urged Yi Le.

Yi Le nodded when he heard the words, said goodbye to Munir and left.

With their departure, Boas also gave tactical guidance to the full bench.

On the bench, Yi Le looked at the pitch. The substitute players played well. Perhaps it was the rare opportunity to start that stimulated them, and they rushed forward one by one.

But what to say...

Yi Le scratched his head, these guys kicked hard, but their defensive awareness was too poor.

Boas stood on the sidelines and jumped angrily.

In the end, Tottenham lost to Everton 2:1 in the FA Cup match that had been abandoned.
