Chapter 890: The Battle for the Golden Boot
May 13, 2012.
The last round of the 2011/2012 Premier League season and the final game.
All ten Premier League games kick off at the same time.
There are three focuses of media attention in this round of finale.
Of the three relegation places in the Premier League, two have been produced, namely Blackburn and Wolves (Blackpool was relegated last season).
Bolton, ranked third from the bottom, and Queens Park Rangers, who are ranked fourth from the bottom, will compete for the last relegation spot.
Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea will battle for fourth-placed Champions League qualification.
In addition, there is the competition for the league golden boot. In the last round of the league, Van Persie scored twice, and the number of goals in the league reached 30 goals.
Although there is still one game to play, Van Persie has set a series of records with 30 league goals in a single season.
The Dutchman is the first Arsenal player to score 30 goals in a single season since Henry in the 2003/2004 season.
He has scored 37 goals for Arsenal in all competitions in a single season, which is also his personal best record.
In addition, not counting the last round of the league, Van Persie played 47 times in a single season. He has not played so many games in any previous season.
This Dutch shooter, who had been controversial before, ushered in a complete explosion this season.
Suarez scored a goal against Tottenham Hotspur and the current tally is 27.
Rooney also scored a goal in the last round of the league, and now the number of goals is 26 goals.
These three players will compete for the league golden boot. However, considering that it is the last round of the league, the media is generally optimistic about Van Persie winning the Premier League golden boot.
...
Aston Villa face Norwich as a guest in the final game.
Two days before the game, Suarez treated the whole team to a big meal.
This was photographed by reporters, and the media also joked that Suarez was bleeding heavily, and the whole team was asked to help compete for the league golden boot.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!"
"Suarez, his tackle broke the goal guarded by Rudy, one to zero, Aston Villa made a fantastic start."
"It was Ronaldo who provided the assist for Suarez. This is the eighth assist of the Colombian this season. This season, the young Colombian has proved his ability after returning from Bruges on loan."
Suarez didn't celebrate the goal, he ran into the goal, scooped up the ball and ran back.
In the scorer list, he was three goals behind Van Persie before the game. Considering that Van Persie may still score today, if Suarez wants to counterattack and grab the Golden Boot, he must race against time today.
At the end of the first half, the score was three to zero.
With Bell taking a break, De Bruyne, who started today, assisted Modric to score a goal.
In addition, before the end of the first half, Modric assisted Suarez with a direct pass to help the Uruguayan increase the number of goals to 29 goals.
"Did Van Persie score a goal?"
Just after the first half of the game, Suarez found assistant coach Ceballos and asked about the situation at Arsenal.
"Arsenal and West Bromwich Albion scored 2-2." Before Ceballos could speak, Fang Jue said with a serious expression.
Suarez felt a chill in his heart.
Then, seeing that the boss didn't hold back, he laughed and said, "However, Van Persie failed to score."
Suarez had no time to complain about the unscrupulous head coach, and happily waved his fist.
Van Persie didn't score, he scored two and now he's only one goal behind Van Persie.
At Sunderland's Stadium of Light, the first half was also over.
Wayne Rooney scored a goal just at the beginning of the first half, raising the number of personal goals to 27 goals. In the first half, Manchester United also led 1-0 in the away game.
Rooney also approached assistant coach McPhelan to inquire about Aston Villa and Arsenal.
Rooney was overjoyed when he learned that Van Persie had not scored and the number of goals was still 30.
Then Lu Xiaopang's heart sank when he learned that Suarez had scored twice in the first half and scored 29 goals.
He began to realize that if he wanted to snatch the Golden Boot, his biggest opponent might not be Van Persie who is still leading, but the second Suarez.
Arsenal wants to compete for fourth place in the league. Now for Arsenal, it doesn't matter who scores the goals, the important thing is to win.
Compared with the importance of fourth place in the league, Van Persie's priority for grabbing the league golden boot is lower.
But Aston Villa is different, Aston Villa won the championship ahead of time, the whole team is relaxed, the whole team can come to help Suarez score, and Rooney also heard that Suarez invited the whole team to eat big Regarding meals, Uruguayans are full of ambitions.
Van Persie, who was a guest at West Bromwich Albion, also learned that Suarez scored twice in the half and Rooney also scored a goal. He was a little anxious.
At least one goal must be scored in the second half of the game, otherwise the golden boot will be lost.
...
Ten minutes into the second half, Aston Villa scored again.
"Goooooooooooooooooaal!"
"Suarez! Suarez! Hat-trick! He scored the ball again after receiving a pass from Modric, four to zero, Aston Villa lead Norwich with four goals."
"With this goal, Suarez has scored 30 goals. Arsenal are still two to two. Van Persie hasn't... scored. Arsenal scored. Arsene Wenger's team We overtook the score to 3-2, but it was Koscielny, not Van Persie who scored the goal, so Suarez and Van Persie are tied for 30 goals now!"
A few minutes later, De Bruyne was injured in a fight. Although the problem was not serious, the Belgian teenager wanted to continue the game. However, Fang Jue replaced De Bruyne for safety reasons, and Abang Laho came on as a substitute. .
In the 76th minute of the game, Suarez's header in front of the goal was saved by Norwich goalkeeper Rudy, and Abanglaho from the second point easily made up the empty goal.
Five to zero.
Abanglaho, who scored the goal, waved his hand towards Suarez with some embarrassment.
Although Suarez is very sorry, he can only say that he doesn't mind. He wants to grab the golden boot, but he can't prevent his teammates from scoring, and it can't be blamed on Abanglaho.
As the game time passed, neither Van Persie nor Suarez nor Rooney was able to score again.
Fang Jue also made another substitution, he replaced Hamei with Bendtner.
Aston Villa played with three center forwards.
Fang Jue's idea is to use Abang Lajo and Bendtner to share the attention for Suarez and help the Uruguayan score.
