Chapter 882: Five Consecutive Premier League Titles

Two days after Manchester United won the FA Cup, good news came from the American Express Community Stadium in Brighton and Hove Albion. Brighton, who had already successfully secured their place in the league, defeated the powerful Manchester City 3:2 with the cheers of more than home fans. This not only provided a feast for the fans, but also almost announced Manchester City's early withdrawal from the competition for the league title.

Because with only one round left in the league, Manchester City is not only three points behind Manchester United, but also has six fewer goals than Manchester United. This means that even if Manchester United loses the last two rounds of the league, the championship is likely to be Manchester United.

Manchester City's only hope of winning the title at the moment is that not only does Manchester United lose their last two league games, but they also have to win big in the final round, in order to have a chance of overturning Manchester United and winning the trophy with a goal difference advantage.

But this is undoubtedly impossible.

Manchester United doesn't even have to wait until the last round of the league to win the title. As long as they get a draw in their home game one day later, they can win the league title this season one round in advance.

For Manchester United, this was almost no difficulty. After all, they were playing at home against Fulham, who had already been relegated. If they couldn't get even one point, then all the players in Manchester United would just buy a piece of tofu and kill themselves.

………………

On May 2021, 5, at 19 pm local time in the UK, a world-renowned match kicked off at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, with the Red Devils Manchester United facing the farmers Fulham.

This was not originally a game that deserved much attention, but a day earlier Manchester City lost 2:3 to Brighton away from home, which gave this game more meaning: the Premier League championship battle!

As long as Manchester United gets 1 point in this game, they can win the Premier League championship this season in advance!

This is also the first time in Manchester United's history that they have won five consecutive top league titles. At the same time, Manchester United will also become the first team in English football history to win five consecutive top league titles!

In addition, this game will also be Manchester United's farewell match at the Millennium Stadium.

Since the reconstruction of Old Trafford began in the New Year of 2019, Manchester United has temporarily rented the Millennium Stadium as its home stadium. This stadium has accompanied Manchester United for more than two years.

Originally, Manchester United planned to move back to the new Old Trafford stadium at the beginning of this year, but because of the epidemic, the stadium did not allow fans to enter to watch the game, so the Manchester United club delayed the time to move back to the new home, which also caused Manchester United to stay in the Millennium Stadium for an extra half a year.

But no matter what, today's farewell home game of the 2020-2021 Premier League season will be Manchester United's farewell battle at the Millennium Stadium.

It would undoubtedly be a very happy thing if the team could bid farewell with a grand championship celebration.

Although the team won the Premier League championship last season, due to the epidemic, the team did not hold a grand awards ceremony at the stadium.

Today, officials allowed fans to enter the stadium to watch the game and also approved Manchester United's award ceremony after winning the championship, allowing them to finally make up for last season's regrets.

………………

Because they played the FA Cup final against Chelsea three days ago, Mourinho made many adjustments to the team's starting lineup. De Gea is the goalkeeper, Dalot, Lindelof, Tuanzebe and Luke Shaw are the back line, the midfield trio is Fred, Bellingham and Bruno, and the front trident is Mbappe, Harry Kane and Greenwood.

Amid the cheers of 26,000 fans at the scene, the game officially began with the referee's whistle.

Taking advantage of their home field, Manchester United took the initiative to attack Fulham's goal.

Although they only need a draw to win the league championship trophy in advance, in front of more than 20,000 fans, Manchester United players still hope to add luster to the celebration with a victory.

In the sixth minute of the game, Manchester United had a good chance to score. Bruno sent a 45-degree cross from the right, but Harry Kane was not prepared and jumped hastily, resulting in the ball going high.

But in the 15th minute of the game, Manchester United finally broke the deadlock. De Gea launched an attack from the backcourt, and Bruno passed the ball to Harry Kane behind him. Just after passing the midfield, Harry Kane took two steps, glanced at the goalkeeper, and scored a world wave lob!

This wonderful world wave directly ignited the scene. The cheers of more than 20,000 Manchester United fans made the whole stadium full of fans cheer, as if they were going to overturn the stadium.

In the 26th minute of the game, Manchester United almost expanded their lead. Harry Kane passed the ball to Bruno at the top of the arc, and Bruno passed it to Bellingham next to him. The latter directly kicked the ball back to Bruno with his heel. Bruno shot the ball, and the football was like a cannonball, whistling straight into Fulham's goal!

Just when everyone thought that a goal was about to be scored, Fulham goalkeeper Areola bravely flew up and saved the ball!

Bruno held his head in regret and sighed to the sky. The more than 20,000 Manchester United fans at the scene also sighed in disappointment.

In the 43rd minute, Bruno had another chance to score. Manchester United's corner kick was cleared, and Bruno got the ball in front of the penalty area and shot directly without stopping, but the goalkeeper flew to save it again.

At the end of the first half, thanks to Harry Kane's world wave, Manchester United temporarily leads Fulham 1:0!

………………

In the second half, in the 51st minute, young player Bellingham was brought down by the defender while dribbling through the middle. The referee showed him a yellow card. Then Bruno's free kick was slightly off target.

In the 57th minute, Bruno passed the ball to Greenwood, who adjusted and shot directly with his left foot, but was blocked by the defender and went out of bounds.

In the 65th minute, Rashford, who came on as a substitute, got the ball on the left and was brought down by the opponent after dribbling past the opponent. The referee awarded a free kick. Bruno took another direct shot, but it was saved by Areola again!

In the 74th minute, Harry Kane made a wonderful pass in the midfield, and Greenwood had a one-on-one opportunity. Facing the goalkeeper, he shot with his left foot, but the ball was saved. What a pity for this one-on-one opportunity!

Manchester United launched a fierce attack, but neither Bruno, Harry Kane, Mbappe, Greenwood, nor Rashford, who replaced Mbappe, could break Fulham's goal.

On the offensive end, Manchester United was unable to score a second goal to expand their lead, but ended up making mistakes on the defensive end.

In the 75th minute, Fulham made a direct cross from the right side, and left-back Bryan followed up with a header and scored, changing the score to 1:1!

Manchester United players complained that Fulham's goal was offside, but after VAR confirmation, Manchester United defender Luke Shaw was parallel to the opponent's offensive player and was not offside.

After the score was tied, Manchester United once again besieged Fulham in the next nearly twenty minutes, but until the end of the 4 minutes of injury time, Manchester United still failed to break through Fulham's city for the second time.

In the end, Manchester United drew 1:1 with Fulham at home.

Although they did not get the 3 points as they wished, this draw ensured that Manchester United won the Premier League championship this season one round ahead of schedule.

………………

"The game is over, the game is over, the game is over! 1:1! Manchester United drew 1:1 with Fulham. Although a draw cannot satisfy the home fans, it is an acceptable result. Manchester United is the champion, they are the champions of the 2020-2021 English Premier League, they are the champions!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"This is also Manchester United's fifth consecutive Premier League title. They did it, Mourinho, he led such a team to do it. He became the first championship coach in the 123-year history of England's top league to win five consecutive titles. He and his players made history. Congratulations to Mourinho, congratulations to Bruno, congratulations to Harry Kane, congratulations to Rashford, congratulations to Greenwood, congratulations to Mbappe, congratulations to Fred, congratulations to Bellingham, congratulations to Luke Shaw, congratulations to Lindelof, congratulations to Tuanzebe, congratulations to Dalot, congratulations to Maguire, congratulations to Van Dijk, congratulations to Kante, congratulations to everyone at Manchester United, they have created a great miracle!" The MUTV commentator roared and shouted wildly.

At this time, in the center of the stadium, the staff were building a simple championship podium, and Manchester United players were cheering wildly. Many of them had not had enough fun yet, and were called back to the locker room while jumping and cheering. They were about to take a shower, change into the championship jerseys specially prepared by the club for this league championship, and then return to the stadium, receive medals, and hold up the league championship trophy high.

Since Manchester City lost away from home a day ago, it was almost certain that Manchester United would win the championship today. Although they had been mentally prepared to win the league championship, at this moment, when they truly became the Premier League championship coach, Bruno felt dizzy.

This is the fifth consecutive Premier League title!

When the Manchester United players, wearing brand new championship jerseys, returned to the stadium again, the whole stadium erupted in crazy cheers.

The award ceremony went on in an orderly manner.

The players filed on stage to receive medals symbolizing the league championship.

"Congratulations on your outstanding work and allowing us to see a great performance from a great team." Prince William, honorary chairman of the English Football Association, put the medal on Bruno and shook hands with him to congratulate him.

Since the English Football Association Chairman Greg Clarke announced his resignation in November last year due to controversial remarks such as racism and sexism, the English Football Association has not determined the leader in the past few months. Therefore, the Premier League championship award ceremony was conducted by Honorary Chairman Prince William.

"Thank you, William." Bruno said with a smile.

The two men exchanged a few brief greetings, and Bruno took the Premier League championship trophy from Prince William's hands. Then, amid the loud countdown of his teammates, he suddenly raised the championship trophy high.

At that time, red ribbons fluttered from the ceiling of the stadium, beautiful fireworks suddenly bloomed, and the whole stadium looked like a sea of ​​fire and silver flowers.

The famous song "We Are the Champions" by Queen resounded in the night sky, and the huge shouts swept the entire Millennium Stadium.

"we are the champion!"

"we are the champion!"

"We are the kings of England!"

……

The players were all very excited. The championship trophy passed through everyone's hands. They took photos with the trophy and kissed it.
