Chapter 770 The fight for No. 4

A key goal gave Manchester United a point away from home.

Although it is only one point, it is also very crucial.

Especially for Manchester United, which aims to compete for fourth place, let alone a point now, even just a goal is very important.

The number of goals scored by several competitors is similar, and perhaps it is possible to achieve a goal difference in the end.

In the following league rounds of 36 and 37, Manchester United won Crystal Palace and drew with West Ham.

Xia Xing is still in excellent condition, and Pogba also performed well.

In the final sprint, no one in the Manchester United team relaxed.

With the final round of the league left, the situation in the league's battle for fourth and sixth is still unclear.

The champion has been produced in advance, five rounds of the league.

Liverpool are far ahead of Manchester City, and Klopp finally fulfilled his promise last season this season.

But for Manchester United, they don't care.

Whether it's Liverpool or Manchester City, they will be annoyed by whoever wins the championship.

Let’s just strive for the top four in a down-to-earth manner.

Now Manchester United and Chelsea both have 63 points, and Manchester United is ranked third with a goal difference advantage.

But behind them, Leicester City is close behind with 62 points.

Tottenham have accumulated 56 points and have completely lost the possibility of competing for fourth place.

Now they even have to face competition from Wolves and Arsenal, who also have 56 points, and they may not be able to maintain their sixth place.

The Premier League is crazy this season.

In the last game, Chelsea faced a relegated team that had no desire for anything, and their three points were basically stable.

But Manchester United's final battle felt like a final.

Their opponent is Leicester City, a contender for the fourth place.

2020年7月26日19:30，王权球场。

Today, the highlight of the final round of the Premier League this season will be held here.

Manchester United VS Leicester City.

In the stands, countless Leicester City fans waved slogans.

"Xia, we like you! But we have to support our team today!"

This tone is exactly Leicester City's attitude towards Manchester United in this game.

Among the current Premier League teams, it is definitely not an exaggeration to say that Manchester United and Leicester City have the best relationship.

In the Leicester City team, there is former Manchester United player Evans, and Schmeichel Jr., the son of former Manchester United meritorious goalkeeper Schmeichel.

There are many former Leicester City players in the Manchester United team.

Needless to say, Xia Xing is the former third captain of Leicester City and the current captain of Manchester United.

There is also Maguire, who joined last summer, and Drinkwater, who left Leicester City and joined the team.

The relationship between the two parties is very good.

But in today's game, both sides are going to fight hard.

They have to go all out for an important Champions League spot.

On the sidelines, Solskjaer was having a friendly chat with Rodgers.

As the coaches of both teams, although both of them were determined to win this game today, they did not show how serious they were from their expressions.

Especially as a former Liverpool coach, Rogers seems very friendly.

"You, Manchester United, have to be more dominant in this game. After all, you are leading in points. A draw can guarantee a place in the top four. But we have to win, which is very difficult."

"You can't say that. After all, you are at home and our injuries are serious. We are still under greater pressure."

"Haha, speaking of which, regardless of the result of today's game, I wish Manchester United can successfully win the Europa League."

"Thank you."

"If you win the Europa League, fifth place in the league will also be able to play in the Champions League this season." "And Manchester City, they are still in the Champions League. If they win the Champions League, then we will definitely be able to play in the Champions League. .”

"sounds good."

The two smiled and shook hands, then turned and walked towards their own coaching bench.

After turning around, Rogers pouted.

As the former Liverpool coach, he has already integrated the fact that "Manchester United is a mortal enemy" into his blood.

Even now that I have left the Red Army, this feeling is still there.

His words just now clearly showed weakness, just to make Solskjaer relax his vigilance and give his team more opportunities.

And how could Solskjaer, who also had his back turned to him, not know?
So when answering Rogers' remarks, he downplayed it, did not respond, and even praised his opponent in passing.

As a veteran of Manchester United, he has been paying attention to his home team over the years and knows the situation of his home team's enemies well.

Rogers, the old fox.

At this time, players from both sides were also having friendly exchanges on the court.

Especially the players who have played for two teams have a close relationship.

Leicester City captain Morgan hugged Xia Xing warmly: "Xia, I am very happy every time I see you."

"Captain, me too."

"Now you are also the captain. Every time I see you, I can always recall the youthful face that destroyed the city in the British Championship."

"It was such a wonderful memory, so nice."

Vardy also walked up and punched Xia Xing: "I get annoyed every time I see you on the field. Why do I meet you again? It's so annoying."

"I can't help it. I can always win against you."

"Bah! We, Leicester City, must win this game!"

The three of them were laughing and chatting in a friendly manner, while Leicester City vice-captain Schmeichel patted Drinkwater on the shoulder.

"The season is almost over, what are your plans for the future? Are you going to stay at Manchester United?"

"It's not confirmed yet, the two sides are in talks."

"That's what I'm striving for, yes, yes. I hope you stay at Manchester United from the bottom of my heart. This is a better place for you than Chelsea."

"Yes, I have familiar teammates and a coach who pays attention to me. I like it here."

"It's a bit regretful to say that last summer I considered suggesting to the management to sign you back. In the end, you were invited by Xia Xing."

"Now Leicester City is full of talents, and I am not lacking, haha."

"Don't say that. When we created the 'Leicester Miracle' together, you were an important member of the central axis."

Those past stories are touching every time we talk about them.

Maguire is not good at talking and is a bit reserved around big guys.

That's the kind of guy he is, he doesn't talk much outside of 90 minutes.

Veteran Evans stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "You have performed well at Manchester United this season. I am proud of you."

"Thank you, Evans."

"You are one of the best central defenders I have ever played with. Come on, you will become the best central defender in the world."

Seeing Evans smiling in front of him, Maguire was extremely moved.

When I was at Leicester City last season, the two were a good central defender partnership.

Evans taught him a lot of defensive experience, which benefited him a lot.

After learning that he was about to join Manchester United, Evans gave him a lot of help.

He told him how to live in Manchester United and introduced him to some of his friends in Manchester United.

Maguire will always remember this emotion.

But today, feelings are feelings, and fighting is fighting. A battle between the four is about to begin! (End of chapter)
