Episode [486]: There Were a Lot of Situations Along the Way.

The thirty-third round of the Premier League has ended, and there are currently only five rounds left in the Premier League.

Chelsea is still ranked first in the Premier League. Chelsea's points are now 74 points, which is the same as second-ranked Leeds United. But now Chelsea still has one more goal difference than Leeds United, temporarily ranking first.

Leeds United is now only one goal away from Chelsea, so this disadvantage is not very big. With five rounds left, Leeds United has a great chance to overtake Chelsea and win the Premier League championship this season.

Therefore, for now, Zhong Cheng is not particularly worried.

In the next five rounds, Leeds United has only one opponent that is stronger, and that is Liverpool. The other teams are not very strong. As long as Leeds United don't commit suicide, they should be able to ensure a certain winning rate.

Of course, in the final round of the Premier League, Leeds United will also face Manchester City.

To be honest, Manchester City's results this season are a bit strange.

They have introduced a lot of powerful players this season and spent a lot of money. They are now ranked seventh in the Premier League. To be honest, it is not in line with their expectations.

More importantly, the current Manchester City team feels a bit uncomfortable. They can almost win most of the games against weak teams, but when they face strong teams, their results are not ideal.

Therefore, it seems that Manchester City just can't fight a tough battle.

Everyone thinks that Manchester City should not have any impact on Leeds United in the final round of the game?

In the last five rounds of matches, Chelsea also faced three relatively strong opponents. One was the Red Army Liverpool, the second was Sheffield Wednesday, and the last was Tote, who is also a London team. Naham Hotspur.

Therefore, relatively speaking, Chelsea's opponents are still slightly stronger.

This is Leeds United's chance.

Although Leeds United are now behind, Leeds United fans are not worried.

There are still so many rounds of games, and Leeds United will definitely be able to catch up from the later games. They believe in Leeds United.

After excluding these two teams, the next three teams ranked third, fourth and fifth all have the same 69 points. They are the Red Devils Manchester United, Leyton Orient and Arsenal respectively. , these three teams have the same points, but this ranking appears due to goal difference.

The points difference between these three teams and the top two teams Chelsea and Leeds United is now five points.

Although this point difference does not seem too big, if you think about it, there are only the last five rounds left. It is basically very difficult for these three teams to surpass the previous two teams. It is quite difficult.

Therefore, many English media are now claiming that the Premier League championship this season should be between Leeds United and Chelsea. The other teams are still worse, and there is almost no hope.

Now, the battle for the Premier League title is only about these two teams.

The next few teams can only compete for the qualifications for the Champions League. Sorry for the shame of Sheffield Wednesday, which is ranked sixth. Their points are 68 points, which is not much different from these three teams. It is just right. Compete.

As for the teams behind, there is almost no hope, and there is almost no hope of even qualifying for next season's European competition. Aren't they occupied by the top six teams?

Ranked seventh is Manchester City, with 59 points. They are also nine points behind Sheffield Wednesday, who is sixth in the league. It is very difficult for them to surpass Sheffield Wednesday, and the odds are also very high. It's so small that it's almost useless.

This is the situation in the first half of the Premier League at this stage.

Obviously, differentiation at all levels has still appeared, and it is not as fierce as the previous rounds of competition. But now the competition at all levels is still very, very fierce. The competition for the league championship, the competition for the UEFA Champions League qualifications and the competition for the qualifications for the European Cup are quite fierce.

This season of the Premier League is considered to be the most intense season in recent years, and media reporters are watching it with gusto.

Zhong Cheng is quite satisfied with the situation now. They are not far behind Chelsea in points, only one goal difference away. This gap is not big. Soon they will be able to surpass Chelsea and return to the top of the Premier League.

At the moment, the issue that Zhong Cheng needs to pay attention to is the second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals.

Leeds United are going away to Camp Nou to face Barcelona.

Yes, next week, Leeds United will have a double match. They will go to Spain to play Barcelona in the middle of the week, and they will come back to play in the league on the weekend.

Now Zhong Cheng has led the Leeds United players on the plane to Spain.

This time, Zhong Cheng brought Edinson Cavani and Gareth Bale.

These two have been very active in training recently, and they are recovering well and feel great. Zhong Cheng feels that these two people should have returned to the game state, but Zhong Cheng has not yet decided whether to let them start in this round?

Yes, there is no doubt about the strength of these two people. They were also the absolute main players of Leeds United before.

However, just because he was injured this time, Zhong Cheng was still more cautious.

After all, Leeds United's opponent is Barcelona, ​​a strong enemy.

Barcelona's strength is really very strong, and this is also the second time the two sides have met. In the first round, Barcelona tied Leeds United 2-2, but it caused a lot of trouble for Leeds United.

That was the home court of Leeds United, and Leeds United had strong confidence before the game that they could win this game. But in the end, Li Zi made a right move and was equalized by Barcelona.

In that game, it seemed that Barcelona was not in its strongest state, because Leo Messi was not in his best state. Even so, Leeds United was still tied 2-2.

Therefore, this time going to Camp Nou, Barcelona's home stadium, is another challenge for Leeds United, a very difficult challenge.

However, Leeds United must win this game.

Because the main goal of Leeds United this season is to defend the Champions League title. Now that they have reached this position, they will naturally go to the end.

Now, Leeds United has also received good news, that is, Leeds United's Gareth Bale and Edinson Cavani have recovered from injuries, which will strengthen Leeds United's strength.

Of course, many people still don’t know about this.

Yes, Gareth Bale and Edinson Cavani’s recovery from injury has been kept under wraps. Leeds United's recent training has also been closed training, so everyone is unaware that both Gareth Bale and Edinson Cavani have recovered from injuries.

This is a secret weapon of Leeds United.

Now Zhong Cheng is leading Leeds United to Spain.

It was already late at night when Leeds United arrived in Spain, almost midnight. However, there are still many Leeds United fans waiting at the airport. These fans came to Spain earlier than Leeds United and they came to pick them up.

But, because it was too late. The Leeds United players did not come out of the ordinary passage at all, but went directly to the VIP passage at the back. Therefore, the Leeds United fans waited in vain.

However, there were still some clever Leeds United fans lurking outside the VIP channel. When they saw the Leeds United players and Zhong Cheng, they immediately shouted loudly and warmly greeted Zhong Cheng and Zhong Cheng. Leeds United.

Zhong Cheng also asked some Leeds United players to take photos with them, and then boarded the bus and rushed to the hotel.

Even at this point, there are still a lot of Leeds United fans waiting outside the hotel where the Leeds United team is staying. They were all waiting for the arrival of Leeds United. After seeing the Leeds United bus, they sang excitedly and greeted Leeds United with their songs.

Zhong Cheng is full of gratitude to these Leeds United fans. It is their support that makes Leeds United what it is today.

Leeds United fans are very excited and happy, they have been waiting for the arrival of Leeds United.

When the Leeds United players arrived, they were already very tired. Many players had no reaction to the warm welcome from Leeds United fans?

Yes, it's really tiring.

They were waiting for the plane to fly to Spain after training today.

Here we have both a plane and a bus, so it’s no wonder I’m not tired.

The fans of Leeds United naturally did not blame the players of Leeds United. They were just distressed. The players of Leeds United were really suffering, very much.

Leeds United fans greeted the Leeds United players with their most sincere songs.

Naturally, countless media reporters are waiting here. They didn't care whether the Leeds United players were tired, they just rushed forward and rushed in front of Zhong Cheng and the Leeds United players, wanting to interview them.

Among the crowd, two disguised people, Gareth Bale and Edinson Cavani, entered the hotel first in the chaos, so that fans and media reporters did not notice it.

At this time, Zhong Cheng was interviewed by media reporters.

Zhong Cheng said this: "Yes, we have just arrived in Spain. To be honest, we are very well prepared, but there are still some small problems on the way. Before taking off, there was a small problem with the aircraft maintenance. , causing our plane to fly an hour late."

The media reporters nodded one after another. It turns out that this is why Leeds United arrived so late.

Yes, Leeds United were expected to arrive around nine o'clock. However, it is now twelve o'clock, almost one o'clock.

Zhong Cheng continued: "Originally, it only took about half an hour to get here from the airport. But this time we spent nearly an hour on this road. We encountered a traffic jam on the way, and a car had a car accident. so……"

Zhong Cheng was really speechless. This was really bad luck.

How come there are so many problems along the way? This should be regarded as the worst time Zhong Cheng has ever encountered, but overall it is good. At least, Leeds United have arrived in Spain safely and arrived at the hotel. They can now have a good rest.

Zhong Cheng also didn't want to be interviewed by these media reporters anymore. It was time for Leeds United to rest.
