Chapter 453 Reassurance

At 2017:5 pm GMT on May 21, , all ten games of the th and final round of the Premier League kicked off on time.

At around 12 noon, two or three hours before the start of the game, Manchester United fans were already lining up to enter the stadium.

The official website of Manchester United calls on fans to come to Old Trafford to cheer for the team, fill the stadium, and prepare to welcome the club's English top league championship after four years. This will be the 21st time that Manchester United has won England's top league. The top league championship will also be the fourteenth Premier League title in the club's history.

The call to action on Manchester United's official website was sourly accused by some media of being a slap in the face, because there was no need for the club to call for it, and all the tickets for this game were sold out half a month ago.

Even the 40-pound ticket for the cheapest seat with a bad location and obstructed view has now been hyped to 200 pounds, but it is still expensive but not marketable.

According to predictions from The Times, on the day of the game, if Manchester United wins the championship, nearly half a million Manchester United fans will flock to Old Trafford and nearby neighborhoods.

As the overlord of the Premier League and the most successful football club in the UK, whether in the UK or around the world, Manchester United has the largest number of fans in the Premier League and even the world's football teams.

………………

Another point is that Manchester United enjoys the widest support among the British upper class.

According to reports from The Sun, the VIP box at Old Trafford Stadium that night will be filled with celebrities. "The Sun" even revealed a list of celebrities who are likely to appear in the stands, including British Prime Minister Theresa May, King Tamim of Qatar, American film superstar Julia Roberts, sprint king You Sean Bolt, world-famous snooker champion Ding Junhui, former Manchester United star David Beckham and his wife Victoria...

Of course, even Manchester United's celebrities and executives include world-class celebrities, such as their boss Jassim, legendary coach Ferguson, team ambassador Sir Charlton, etc.

This game, or in other words, if Manchester United can win the championship, this will be the first step for Manchester United to show its influence to the entire UK and the world after four years.

………………

At 2:15 in the afternoon, Manchester United's bus has arrived at the stadium.

They received a warm welcome from the fans outside the stadium and huge cheers rang out from the stadium.

The arrival of the team bus was also broadcast live on the big screen inside the stadium, which attracted huge cheers from the audience.

Team captain Wayne Rooney and top star and midfielder Bruno Fernandez were the first to get off the bus. Subsequently, Carrick, Rashford, Lingard, Mata, Kante and other players got off the car one after another.

Mourinho and the coaching staff were the last to get off the bus. He did not accept interviews from the media, but made a "V" gesture toward the camera, which immediately caused excited shouts from the fans at the scene and in front of the TV.

Then, the scene changed, and a police car opened the way, followed by a vehicle with the logo of the English Football Association, slowly arriving at Old Trafford Stadium.

Several English Football Association staff members got out of the car, and one of them pushed a silver-gray travel safe from the car. Several staff members guarded the safe and sank it into the depths of the stadium tunnel.

Later, crews arrived at a house. One of them entered the password, opened the safe, and took out a guy wearing a black hood.

The black hood was taken off, revealing the true face of Lushan inside. This is the Premier League championship trophy that has arrived at Old Trafford.

Seeing this scene, huge cheers echoed throughout the stadium.

This is the first time after four years that the Premier League championship trophy has arrived at Old Trafford again!

………………

In the home team's dressing room at Old Trafford, Mourinho clapped his hands and motioned for everyone to stop what they were doing and listen to him.

"Although the media are hyping up, saying how crucial and important this game is. Mourinho raised his voice and said loudly, "But, I still have to say, what they said is not entirely correct. "

"This is our night of championships!" Mourinho waved his right fist, "It's that simple!"

Ten minutes later, amid huge cheers inside and outside Old Trafford, the referee Anthony Taylor blew the whistle to start the game.

The camera also showed a close-up of the player's corridor at this time, where a trophy was quietly placed: the Premier League Championship Trophy.

………………

"GOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLLL!!!!!"

Huge cheers erupted from the stands at Stamford Bridge.

In the 7th minute of the game, Marcos Alonso's free kick from outside the penalty area directly hit the door frame. Then Chelsea got the ball and organized an attack patiently. William got the ball in the right rib of the penalty area and shot it. The ball went into the net and helped Chelsea equalize. Got the score.

Yes, this was Chelsea's equalizing goal because they conceded a goal in the 2nd minute of the game. Sunderland got a free kick in front of the penalty area. Larsson's free kick hit the wall and was deflected to the right of the penalty area. Manquillo followed up with a powerful shot and scored, helping Sunderland take the lead at Stamford Bridge.

However, Sunderland only led for 5 minutes before falling behind Chelsea's powerful offensive.

Chelsea, who equalized the score, did not celebrate much because this goal just brought the game back to the starting point. According to the current score, they will still lose the championship at the end of the game.

However, there were thunderous cheers in the Stamford Bridge stands, and the Blues fans were very satisfied with the team's quick equalizer.

………………

Conte did not get up. He sat on the coaching bench, turned around and asked: "How is it at Manchester United?"

"It's still 0:0 against Manchester United."

Conti nodded and said nothing. Although Chelsea may still win the championship, their conditions for winning the championship are very demanding: first of all, they must hope that Manchester United cannot win, which is a prerequisite.

It would be best if Manchester United lose, in which case Chelsea win and win the title. In addition, if Manchester United and Crystal Palace tie, Chelsea may also win the championship.

However, if Manchester United draws, all Chelsea have to do is beat their opponents by at least 21 goals.

In other words, according to the current situation, Chelsea still has to score at least 21 goals in the game.

This is simply unbelievable.

Therefore, in a practical sense, the only way for Chelsea to win the championship is if Manchester United loses.

This possibility is too small.

Just when Conte was thinking wildly, cheers came from the area where the visiting team Sunderland fans were at Stamford Bridge, while boos came from more stands.

Conte's face turned black. He knew that this meant that Manchester United had scored a goal in the game!

………………

At Old Trafford, the game had gone on for 14 minutes without even realizing it.

After the game started, Manchester United burst out with huge energy and once formed a siege on Crystal Palace. But Crystal Palace showed great tenacity.

Crystal Palace, which has no desires and desires, should logically play very open and relaxed. However, in fact, the entire Crystal Palace team defended tightly, with a very direct purpose: to prevent Manchester United from scoring.

Crystal Palace and Manchester United have a complicated relationship. In a sense, Crystal Palace is equivalent to a satellite club of Manchester United. Zaha, the core of the team's wing attack, is also a player that Manchester United purchased from Crystal Palace, first loaned to Crystal Palace, and then sold back to Crystal Palace.

If Manchester United urgently needs 3 points to win the championship, Crystal Palace will give them 3 points with almost no resistance. But now Manchester United only needs a draw to ensure the championship, and Crystal Palace naturally does not want to lose to Manchester United.

Especially now that they have the same points as West Ham United. If they can score 1 point in this round, which will allow them to advance 1 place in the standings, they can also get millions more pounds in the bonus after the end of the season.

Crystal Palace's defensive shield withstood Manchester United's heavy blows time and time again. Finally, a crack was opened in the shield.

Carrick assisted to the frontcourt, and he sent the ball diagonally. Bruno is so fast that he escapes between two defenders. With everyone looking forward to it, he broke into the penalty area and scored with a low shot.

Old Trafford was filled with cheers.

Mourinho jumped three feet high and waved his arms vigorously to celebrate the goal.

Finally scored!

Well done, Bruno!

For Mourinho, Bruno's goal undoubtedly gave him reassurance.

………………

"Although Crystal Palace tried their best to prevent Manchester United from scoring, they still failed. Bruno's goal was really beautiful!"

"Bruno Fernandez! He scored a goal for Manchester United. This goal is very crucial! Look at Mourinho's excitement on the sidelines, as if he was the one who scored the goal..."

"This is Bruno's 37th Premier League goal this season. He has extended his lead in the European Golden Boot to 2 goals and is very likely to win the European Golden Boot for the first time after the end of the season. ”

……

Many celebrities, stars, and big shots in the VIP box were also applauding.

The camera gives some important close-ups of the box.

The Prime Minister and the King of Qatar high-fived each other.

Manchester United boss Jassim excitedly waved his fists and shouted, hugged his friends and cheered and celebrated like an ordinary fan.

Beckham clapped with a smile and kissed his wife Victoria beside him. The couple also showed off their affection.

Bolt, the sprint king known as the "King of Bo", grinned widely, showing his big white teeth.

……

The team scored and broke the deadlock.

Mourinho breathed a sigh of relief and happily returned to the coaching bench to sit down.

"Chelsea..." Assistant coach Faria came over and said.

"No need to pay attention to them." Mourinho waved his hand.

The leader is so comfortable, as long as he is himself, no matter who he is, he is just greedy.
