Chapter 340, Numbers on the Jersey

After Lallana scored the team's third goal, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

The Southampton players walked off the field with their heads held high. They happily accepted the applause from the fans and were extremely excited. Although the result of the other game at Anfield is not yet known, they were able to lead Manchester United 3-1 at home, which is enough to make them proud!

Pochettino happily greeted the off-field players on the sidelines. He was very satisfied with the results of his players in the first half.

The Southampton players returned to the locker room, ready to listen to Pochettino's tactical deployment and arrangements for the second half.

At the same time, the Manchester United players who left the field were a little listless. They were two goals behind their opponents in the final battle of the championship, and the last goal was actually a mistake by their spiritual leader Giggs, which made the Manchester United players even more depressed. They walked into the player tunnel with their heads down and headed towards the locker room.

Giggs walked at the end of everyone, he looked at this familiar yet unfamiliar stadium, feeling a little confused for a while. In his more than 20 years of Premier League career, he has played in this stadium countless times, scored countless goals, won countless victories, and also had many regrets and mistakes. But it was the first time for him to make a major mistake like just now, and it was also the most difficult to accept.

Probably there have been similar mistakes before, but the mistakes in today's decisive battle led to conceding the ball, which made Giggs very uncomfortable. Today is my last Premier League game. After 45 minutes in the second half, I bid farewell to the green field. If my mistakes cause the team to lose the league championship, Giggs will regret it for life!

And there is another person who is as fālèng like Giggs, and that is Jin Taige.

Kintag suddenly thought of this season in later generations. In that parallel world, Rodgers led Liverpool to the top. However, when they played against Chelsea in the final stage of the league, captain Steven Gerrard accidentally slipped and caused They lost to their opponents, and they encountered Waterloo in the next few games, and finally handed over the league title to Manchester City.

Could it be that Giggs' slip and fall today is the fate of Gerrard's slip and fall again?

Thinking of this, Jin Taige roared in his heart: I absolutely don't believe in shitty fate! My Manchester United will live like a Red Devil! Play the blood of the Red Devils!

Seeing Giggs walking off the field slowly, Jin Taige walked a few steps quickly and came to Giggs.

Giggs looked up and saw Jin Taige in front of him, with a guilty face on his face: "Captain, I..."

Jin Taige patted Giggs on the shoulder,

With a firm face: "Ryan, I am the captain of your class of 92, but here today, you are the captain of Manchester United, and you are also the captain of my most trusted team. Don't take what happened just now to your heart. One of the reasons for the away disadvantage is the problem of the lawn. Don’t blame you. Don’t blame yourself. I still need you to lead the team to overtake the score in the second half. Come on, let’s go back to Old Trafford with the league championship trophy. Germany Stadium!"

After speaking, Kintag and Giggs walked steadily towards the visiting team's locker room.

When Jin Taige walked into the locker room, the locker room was dead silent, as if there was no one there. Giggs followed behind Jin Taige, he was the last one to walk in. Scholes closed the door behind him.

Jin Taige looked at the players in front of him, and he said in surprise: "Why are you so quiet? I thought I went to the wrong room just now."

As he said that, Kintag looked around at all the players, and then had a very relaxed smile on his face.

At this time, all the Manchester United players did not speak, they looked depressed and said nothing.

Seeing everyone like this, Jin Taige grinned: "Guys, what's wrong with you? Today is such a happy day, why are you in such a bad mood?"

At this moment, Raphael whispered bitterly, "Boss, we didn't play well today."

Jin Taige looked indifferent: "Oh, you mean the matter of falling behind by two goals? What's the matter, won't it be enough to get back three goals in the second half? There is nothing to worry about."

Speaking of this, Jin Taige said to Scholes: "Paul, are the clothes I asked you to prepare ready?"

Scholes nodded: "It's all ready."

With that said, Scholes carried a box to Kim Taige. Jin Taige opened the box with him.

All Manchester United players are very puzzled, what did the head coach come up with for them?

I saw Jin Taige take out a jersey from the box: "Guys, this is the jersey for the championship celebration I prepared for you, how do you look at it?"

Kintag showed the front and back to the players separately, and saw the number "21" written on the front and the number "23" written on the back.

Van Persie asked puzzledly: "Boss, what do these two numbers mean?"

Jin Taige looked around, and then asked Giggs with a smile: "Ryan, do you know what the 21 stands for?"

Giggs' eyes lit up: "Boss, Manchester United has won 20 English top league championship trophies. If we can become the Premier League champions this season, the whole number will become 21."

Jin Taige nodded in satisfaction: "That's right, that's what I mean, but there is no word 'if' in my dictionary. I believe that after 45 minutes in the second half, this number will definitely become 21!"

Hearing Jin Tage's words, all the players' eyes lit up. Several young players who joined the team this season showed incomparable longing in their eyes. Mahrez was slightly trembling with excitement, while the reserved Kanter was nervous Clenching his fists tightly, Martial straightened his back and stared closely at the jersey in Kintag's hands; Vidic, Evra and other veterans were also full of expectations for a while. It has entered the final stage, every league championship may be the last one, and every game may be the last game.

Kintag took out a few jerseys from the box and handed them to the players one by one for everyone to see: "Guys, after this game is over, we will get the Premier League championship trophy here. After a short awards ceremony, We're going back to Manchester, back to Old Trafford, where there's a big celebration waiting for us. It's a shame we missed out on the Treble this season; but we can still hold our heads high Go out with your chest up because we are the double! The double of Premier League and League Cup! This achievement can still make us proud!"
