Volume 1: Heroes Come and Go, People Pay Attention Chapter 134 The End of the League (First Update Guaranteed)

The media on the second day of the game mainly reported on Manchester United's defending championship. At the same time, some media also paid attention to poor Manchester City.

Falling before the finish line at the last moment for two consecutive seasons is indeed pitiful.

Immediately after this game, rumors leaked out that Manchester City's top brass was planning a coaching change.

Mancini was brought in before, and Mancini helped Manchester City reach a higher level and become a strong contender for the league championship.

But now it seems that Manchester City seems to have encountered a bottleneck.

It will be difficult for Mancini to instill more useful things into this team. If he leads Manchester City, perhaps his highest achievement will end here.

So they felt that Mancini was already at the end of his rope, so they might as well change coaches directly and bring Manchester City to a whole new stage...,

In fact, this is because the top management of Manchester City Club was confused.

Manchester City has made great progress under the leadership of Mancini, which previous coaches in Manchester City have not been able to bring to Manchester City. Mancini is indeed a famous coach. You must know that Inter Milan's revival also started from his hands.

So in terms of ability, there are not many head coaches in world football who are better than him. Among the managers Manchester City can hire, he may be the best.

Mancini fell before the finish line for two consecutive seasons. If the responsibility is put on Mancini, Mancini would be very unjust.

The first season can be said to be the first time that this group of Manchester City players came so close to the league championship. Some of them were inexperienced and failed to stabilize in the end. This is understandable. Even wealthy teams have had similar things happen to them. I think back when Real Madrid was so miserably suppressed by Barcelona, ​​they invited Capello just for the sake of winning the league championship. But when it came down to the last shot and they could win the league title by defeating their opponents, Real Madrid's own players failed to perform well. It was very bad. If it weren't for the goals of Diarra and Reyes, they might not have won their 30th league championship trophy in the end.

Real Madrid almost made such a mistake, and it is normal for Manchester City to make it.

Manchester City's performance this season truly reflects Mancini's level. Even after being beaten 51 away by Liverpool, Mancini was able to maintain the team and ranked first in the second half of the season.

However, the team's luck was not very good, or rather... they met Dong Yingxiong at the most critical moment.

Maybe Manchester City players will never admit it, but they did have an impact on the performance of this game when they heard that the opponent in the next game was Liverpool. Who made Dongying score nine goals at their home court? !

This performance left a deep impression on them.

When many people think of Dong Yingxiong, they will think of those two games, one with 43 and the other with 51. It would be false to say that it had no impact on them at all.

So in fact, it is really a non-war crime. Manchester City lost the league championship. You can't blame Mancini for not being at his best. His level is already very good. It is not easy to lead Manchester City, an international mercenary, to this point.

At this juncture, Richards jumped out again to cause trouble for Mancini. The media broke the news that Richards was dissatisfied with coach Mancini because he did not go to Liverpool. He threatened that if he did not get another chance to play, he would seek a transfer!

Not only that, Richards also said that Mancini has actually lost control of the locker room. Now the Manchester City locker room is a mess, with various small groups emerging one after another. He used his own example to express that he lacked support from his teammates when he was fighting against Dong Yingxiong and Liverpool...

Now some Mancini is worried...

Martin O'Neill, no matter what happens to Manchester City, he is in a relaxed mood now.

After the game against Manchester City, he gave the team two days off because he knew there was still one shot left before the league ended!

He took two days off at this time, so you can imagine how relaxed he felt.

The rest of the league can basically be given up. O'Neill plans to use the second-tier team to beat Tottenham. Even if Tottenham loses to Tottenham and is overtaken by Manchester City again, they will still be third and first in the league and still directly qualify for next season's Champions League. Competition qualifications.

Now Martin O'Neill just wants to focus on the Europa League final.

After working hard for a season, these players really deserved a rest, so he gave the team two days off.

You can't blame Martin O'Neill for deliberately giving up this game, because after the game against Tottenham, there are only four days before they will face the Europa League final against Inter Milan.

In order to prevent unexpected situations from happening, Martin O'Neill had to be cautious.

On May 11th, Liverpool ushered in the last shot of the league this season.

They face Tottenham Hotspur away from home.

Tottenham's performance this season is not very stable. They have bid farewell to next season's Champions League and Europa League in advance, which means that apart from domestic competitions, they will have no other games to play next season.

After two amazing seasons, Tottenham began to decline. This season they could only play in the Europa League. As a result, they did not qualify for the Europa League group stage. Next season they won't even be able to play in the Europa League.

For a team like Tottenham that invests a lot of money every year, this kind of performance certainly cannot satisfy their investors.

It is said that Tottenham and Manchester City are also planning a coaching change.

However, unlike the situation at Manchester City, the old Redknapp at Tottenham has really come to an end. Tottenham has undergone earth-shaking changes in his hands, but his ability can only bring Tottenham to this point. If they want to take a step forward, Tottenham must find a head coach of a higher level.

Tottenham's performance this season is very unstable, which has something to do with the coaching level of old Redknapp.

Of course there is another reason...

Tottenham's main player Gareth Bale was injured midway through the season, which also affected the team's performance.

Bell's butterfly joint suffered another injury. He underwent surgery and rested for six months. He only returned towards the end of the league, but he could no longer help the team.

These two reasons have led to Tottenham's performance this season being unstable. They have made nothing in the basket and gained nothing.

So in this last game, they actually had nothing to ask for.

Although Martin O'Neill fielded all second-line players, in comparison, Liverpool's second-line players were the ones with the most fighting spirit and the strongest desire to win.

In this way, the result is natural and predictable.

Liverpool won the away game against Tottenham 3:1, ending this fairly good season with a victory.

Dong Yingxiong didn't even make the 18-man roster for this game, so he was taking a good rest at home.

Like him, there are Fonsuarez, Sanchez, Gerrard and others.

These are all starters in the Europa League final.

In fact, before the game against Tottenham, Liverpool had already been practicing tactics against Inter Milan in the Europa League.

O'Neill really didn't regard Tottenham as his opponent.

One day after the English Premier League ended, the Serie A also ended.

Inter Milan learned from shame this season and then bravely pursued it in the second half of the season, finally catching up to fourth place in the league and getting a place to participate in the Champions League qualifying rounds. In this way, at least they can participate in the Champions League next season without actually being reduced to playing in the Europa League.

Only after qualifying for the Champions League did Inter Milan think about the Europa League final.

Their attitude was very cautious. From the club chairman to the players, they all expressed respect for their opponents in the final.

After all, Liverpool's performance this season has been completely different from last season.

If Inter Milan had met Liverpool from last season in the final, they might really look down on their opponent and think that the championship would definitely belong to them.

Now this Liverpool team has a very good head coach, and Dong Dongxiong is in very good shape. This is their biggest headache.

Dong Xiongxiong has a lot of experience playing against Inter Milan. In the three seasons he played in Naples, he played six league games and two Champions League knockout games with Inter Milan. He won more than he lost. It can be said that he also has an absolute mentality when dealing with Inter Milan. Advantageous.

Inter Milan has been struggling in the past few years, and it is considered good to be able to qualify for next season's Champions League this season.

In fact, since Mourinho led Inter Milan to win the Triple Crown, there have been voices saying that Inter Milan should change its team. But Moratti has always been slow to act. He would rather change the head coach than the players.

Although having a very humane "chairman" is something to be proud of, sometimes humanness may not be a good thing for the team itself, such as today's Inter Milan...

Of course, some people say that it's not that Moratti doesn't want to clean it, but that the old guys in the Inter Milan locker room have formed a climate and become their own group. Moratti's tail is too big to be cleaned, and he can't clean it even if he wants to.

Anyway, the Argentinian Barbeque Gang is very powerful within Inter Milan. This is a fact. It's big enough to compete with the head coach. If the head coach is unhappy, he can do nothing on the court and squeeze out the head coach.

Such a team wants to beat Liverpool in the final?

It's really a difficult thing...

However, the fans of Inter Milan are still full of hope for such a team. They all said that if Inter Milan can win a Europa League championship, then this season will not be considered a failure.

And Inter Milan takes it for granted that Inter Milan came from the Champions League to the Europa League, and their strength must be better than Liverpool, which has always played in the Europa League, so it is natural for them to win the championship.

How little these people understand the Premier League...

Even the Italian media dare not be so optimistic.

Because they all know what Hero Dong is capable of.

They believe that if Inter Milan wants to win the final, they must contain the heroes, and at the same time call on the old guys to stop fighting among themselves this time, unite and fight for their honor and their dignity! (To be continued.! .
