Chapter 271: The Battle for the Golden Boot in Europe

The 37th round of the English Premier League broke out a big upset.

Perhaps influenced by a home defeat to Liverpool and the loss of the league title, Chelsea lost 3-0 away to West Bromwich Albion in this game.

It is said that after the game, Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho was furious and gave all the players a hard rebuke in the dressing room.

The defeat did not affect Chelsea's position, having already secured a runners-up finish in the league.

In addition, Manchester City also won this round, and the blue moon had already locked up the third place in the league in advance.

Now, the most striking thing about the Premier League is the battle for the top four.

Ahead of this league game, Arsenal were fourth in the league, three points ahead of Manchester United.

Manchester United host Arsenal in this round of the league, which is also seen by the media as a direct matchup for the last Champions League place in the absolute fourth place in the league.

In the end, Manchester United scored first, and his own player Blackett scored an own goal in the second half, and the two sides ended up in a 1-1 draw, with one game left in the league, Manchester United are still three points behind Arsenal, and the hope of snatching the fourth place in the league from the 'race for four' is very slim: because Arsenal still have a replay against Sunderland.

Three days later, there were two make-up matches in the Premier League.

Arsenal picked up a crucial point at home to Sunderland with a 0-0 draw to secure a fourth-place finish with a game to go.

Liverpool, on the other hand, drew 3-3 with Hull City away, and Jiang Chenxi scored twice again, raising his league goal tally to 46 goals, continuing to refresh the single-season goal record he held and set in the English top flight this season.

The Times used a photo of Jiang Chenxi smiling after the game to express his admiration and congratulations on the outstanding performance of Liverpool's Chinese star.

What they don't know is that the reason why Jiang Chenxi is happy is not only because he further refreshed the goal record, but also because his goals have surpassed Ronaldo, he has now scored 46 goals in the Premier League, and Ronaldo's side has 45 goals, however, there is only one round left in the Premier League and La Liga, and the 'unknown' secret battle between the two will continue.

While lamenting Jiang Chenxi's fiery scoring state, the Guardian also expressed regret that there is only one round of games left in the Premier League, and it is difficult for Jiang Chenxi to break Messi's single-season goal record (50 goals) held by Barcelona in the five major leagues.

This also caused a discussion about which is stronger or weaker between Jiang Chenxi and Messi.

England's media naturally support Jiang Chenxi, and Barcelona naturally supports their leading stars.

Guardian columnist Ellen . Smith cheered for Jiang Chenxi, he pointed out that Jiang Chenxi scored 46 goals in a single season in the Premier League, which is already a very great record, even if he did not continue to score in the last round of the league, Jiang Chenxi's league performance this season is not inferior to Messi.

Ellen. Smith's reasoning is that it is also more difficult to score goals in the Premier League than in La Liga. In addition, Barcelona's overall strength is above Liverpool's, Barcelona has a terrifying dominance in La Liga, while Liverpool's strength is much inferior, and Jiang Chenxi has less help from his teammates within the team than Messi is to Barcelona.

Ellen. Smith's view has not only been recognized by the media in England, but also by the media outside the United Kingdom to a certain extent.

This view has been questioned on the Spanish side.

The Catalan media believes that Messi is the best, that data is data, and that there are not so many justifications.

Madrid's media have supported Cristiano Ronaldo, believing that their star is the best.

This even caused a discussion in the media about who is the strongest Messi, Ronaldo and Jiang Chenxi.

In fact, after Jiang Chenxi broke Melo's monopoly and won the 2015 FIFA Golden Ball, there was a discussion about which of the three players was stronger.

The general view of the media is that Jiang Chenxi is good enough, but there is still a gap with Messi and Ronaldo, which can be seen from the championship glory won by the three people.

This point of view has been recognized by the supporters of Messi and Ronaldo: Jiang Chenxi wants to be tied with Messi and Ronaldo, but he is still short of it.

Then, Messi and Ronaldo's supporters began to quarrel again over which of the two of them was the strongest...... It's a topic of bickering that has been going on for years.

……

"It's the season of the shooters for the superstars!" - "Team Newspaper"

The French newspaper La Corpus avoided the discussion of who is the strongest between Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, a topic that could not be solved, and the outlet looked back on the season that was coming to an end and praised the outstanding performances of the three stars.

At present, after 37 rounds of La Liga, Ronaldo's league goals are 45 goals, Messi is 40 goals, and Jiang Chenxi is 46 goals!

It's a scary data.

"This is the first time in the history of the five major leagues that three superstars have scored more than 40+ league goals, and the three great stars have told all fans the charm of football and the style of scoring goals with one goal after another......"

This report of "Team Daily" has also aroused heated discussions in the media around the world.

"Just look at this season, look at the number of goals they have scored in the league, Messi, Ronaldo and Jiang are ahead of all the other stars." - Bild

"We can even categorize the stars of football, Mei (West) - Jiang (Chenxi) - (C) Ronaldo is the first gear, and then the other players." - The Guardian.

The heated discussion among the media and fans finally focused on one issue:

There is one round left in the league, and what number will the goals of these three superstars this season be fixed at?! Who scored the most goals?!

It's also a contest for the European Golden Boot for three superstars this season.

The Guardian even said bluntly, who of the three stars is the strongest? Don't talk about previous seasons, just look at the European Golden Boot this season!

Of course, Guardian columnist Ellen . Smith's remarks caused a lot of controversy, after all, this method of consideration is debatable.

However, the competition for the European Golden Boot immediately attracted the attention and heated discussions of the media and fans around the world.

The English media naturally supports Jiang Chenxi, not only because Jiang Chenxi is in the leading position in terms of goals, but also because Jiang Chenxi is currently the banner of the Premier League.

Madrid's media is naturally cheering for Ronaldo, the Portuguese is now only one goal less than Jiang Chenxi, and Real Madrid's opponent in the final round of the league is Madrid's little brother Getafe, who has been relegated in advance, which is a good opportunity for Real Madrid's star to score goals.

In comparison, although the media in Catalonia is also cheering for Messi, given that Messi's goals are far from Ronaldo and Jiang Chenxi (5 goals and 6 goals respectively), there is a lack of confidence.

On the evening of May 23, 2015, the final round of La Liga kicked off at the same time, and in 19 hours and 30 minutes, the final round of the Premier League will also begin.
