Chapter 667: League Ending
With Manchester City's Aston Villa game over, the 1996-1997 Premier League season also came to an end, and in the end, Manchester City successfully defended the league title with an unbeaten record of 26 wins and 12 draws in 38 league games, they scored 84 goals and conceded 29 goals in 38 league games, scoring the most goals and conceding the fewest goals.

Manchester United finished runners-up by 17 points and qualified for next season's Champions League alongside Manchester City, but Ferguson is still full of regret and humiliation, and he is eager to make a comeback next season.
Newcastle United, Arsenal and Liverpool finished third to fifth respectively to qualify for next season's UEFA Cup, while sixth-placed Aston Villa, seventh-placed Chelsea and eighth-placed Sheffield Wednesday have also qualified for next season's International Toto Cup and will be hoping to reach the main stage of the UEFA Cup, while Everton have won the Fair Play Award for having the fewest red and yellow cards and can also participate in next season's International Toto Cup.
Of course, Chelsea and West Ham United still have a chance to play in the European Cup Winners' Cup, as this place is supposed to be the FA Cup winners, but this season's English FA Cup final is played by Manchester City and Manchester United, both of whom have qualified for next season's Champions League, and according to UEFA rules, the other two teams that have reached the FA Cup semi-finals play a play-off to determine the place in next season's Cup Winners' Cup.
If they had qualified for the European Cup Winners' Cup, Chelsea would certainly not have gone to the International Toto Cup, which would have been a blessing in their fortune.
The quota allocation for next season's European competitions has been decided, and the unlucky eggs of relegation have also been produced, Nottingham Forest, a team that has won the European Champions Cup twice, was finally eliminated because they could not adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League, they were relegated two rounds in advance, and Middlesbrough and Sunderland, the two teams, failed to win in the last round, and were also relegated, Coventry City, a relegation expert team, in the last three rounds of crazy two wins and one draw, and finally overtook Sunderland by one point, Once again, a miraculous victory escape was staged, which makes people have to sigh that relegation experts are relegation experts, and their ability to relegation is too strong.
In terms of team honors and individual player honors, there is no suspense for Manchester City to win the best team and Mu Shengli to win the best coach, Ding Hongxing scored 46 goals in the 38 rounds of the league, the top scorer is of course his, Shearer also scored 34 goals, in previous years, this result was enough for him to get the top scorer, but unfortunately, in front of Ding Hongxing, he could only settle for second.
In addition to his 46 goals, Ding also has 21 assists, and he is also at the top of his stats in other stats such as tackles, distance traveled, interceptions, header success rate, dangerous passes, etc., so there will be no suspense that he will be awarded the Player of the Season award.
Of course, England's football season isn't quite over yet, with an FA Cup final a week later on 18 May, as well as a play-off for the Cup Winners' Cup and two more Premier League places for next season.
In League One, last season's relegated Bolton Wanderers have been on top of the pack this season, securing the League One title and a Premier League spot, while the other two Premier League spots will be decided by the top teams through several play-off rounds.
The English football season will not be fully over until all these competitions are over, and the FA will not announce the winners of the season.
Of course, Ding Hongxing still has a lot of hope to win an award this season, that is, the European Golden Boot Award, from this season, the European Golden Boot Award finally ended the previous chaos and began a relatively fair points system, that is, the number of goals scored by the top few league top scorers should be multiplied by two, which is his points, and the number of goals of the league top scorers after them should be multiplied by one point five, and the number of goals scored by the league top scorers in the back is their points, This is also a good indication of the impact of the difficulty of the league on the goal, which is relatively fair.
According to this point system, Ding Hongxing's points are ninety-two points, this point is amazing, now in the top few leagues, Serie A, Bundesliga have also ended, their top scorers have only scored more than 20 goals, and Ding Hongxing can not be compared, only La Liga, they have 22 teams, so the league has forty-two rounds, so far, there are five league games to play, their top scorer is Ronaldo, his number of goals is thirty-two, it should be said, this number of goals is also very good, However, if he wants to surpass Ding Hongxing, he must score fifteen goals in the last five rounds of the league, which is basically impossible, unless he runs wild like Ding Hongxing at the beginning of this year and scores a hat trick every game, but at the end of the season, his physical fitness has made him weak.
As for the top scorer in other leagues, it is even less of a threat to Ding Hongxing, so this award is basically in Ding Hongxing's pocket.
Of course, Ding Hongxing doesn't think too much about these now, although these individual awards can bring him a lot of attribute points, but now he still has two important goals to complete, that is, the FA Cup championship and the Champions League championship, winning these two titles, he will complete the treble in two different teams, and in both teams he has completed the unbeaten achievement of the league all season, such a great feat will be unprecedented.
I believe that when the time comes, Xiaobao should reward him with a lot of attribute points.
With an FA Cup final just a week to go and another week after the FA Cup final, the Champions League final will be played, so City can adjust slowly and try to get the best out of those two finals, and now there are no major injuries and all the players are available, which is very good news.
On 17 May, the FA Cup play-offs kicked off first, with Chelsea narrowly beating West Ham United 3-2 to qualify for next season's European Cup Winners' Cup.
