1.080 The dust settles

There's one more important thing, and that's what Como will do next season. Most of the existing players are limited or inexperienced, otherwise no one would want to stay at Como for such a low salary. If it weren't for the fact that the Como crisis had not broken out in the first half of the league, the foundation was thick enough, and I am afraid that it would be possible to be relegated again this season.

If Como wants to be relegated next season, he can't still buy people at this standard, at least he has to put together a team with fighting power. The number of people does not need to be too large, and the Serie C team does not need to consider multi-line operations, and it can be controlled within 20 players. Moreover, it is possible to lease a large number of young players who cannot play in Serie B or Serie A, saving a lot of salary expenses. In this way, an investment of one or two million euros a year is enough for the Como team to sustain it, and even if the club runs well, the net investment can be less. However, in terms of Como's current situation, Li Chengfeng still needs to invest funds to maintain, otherwise his previous boss will not let go.

However, this is not a small amount of money for Li Chengfeng, and if the club wants to develop, it may still take the road of reselling players. This is the reality, if the small club wants to survive, buying and selling people with vision is the king, and vision, Li Chengfeng has a golden eye produced by the system, so he doesn't believe that he can't find a suitable candidate.

If nothing else, Lee Seung-peak now has two players on hand who are his agents, and he communicated with the two players in advance and persuaded them to agree to move to Como next season. They are only playing in the 6th and 7th amateur leagues, and Como is a professional team in Serie C, 3 or 4 levels higher than their current team, so they can be said to have climbed to the sky, what is there to be for. Moreover, they have signed one-year contracts with their respective clubs, and they can leave when the contract expires, and Li Chengfeng only needs to pay a training fee that adds up to less than 100,000 euros.

In the busy days of Lee Seung-peak in Italy, at CM World, Sheffield Wednesday, who were out of the Champions Cup, were finally able to focus on the domestic stage, but the physical exhaustion still affected their performance. Sheffield Wednesday, who fielded plenty of substitutes, were knocked out 3-1 by Manchester United in the FA Cup, and they drew 0-0 away at mid-table Aston Villa in the Premier League. In both games, Sheffield Wednesday's players were not excited enough and didn't run as well as usual. There is no way to do this, the consumption of physical strength some time ago is too great, and Sheffield Wednesday needs time to recover. Had it not been for the postponement of the league match against Newcastle until May, Sheffield Wednesday would not have even had time to recover.

However, in these two rounds, Arsenal and Liverpool have achieved 1 win and 1 draw, and now Arsenal is 2 points ahead of Sheffield Wednesday with one game less, and Liverpool is only 1 point behind Sheffield Wednesday.

On 28 April, Sheffield Wednesday had what could be the fateful game of the season, as they host Liverpool. Liverpool are strong enough but they had just finished their Champions League semi-final against Chelsea two days earlier, losing 1-0 away. Four days later it was the second leg against Chelsea, and they clearly took that game more seriously, with a number of key players rotated against Sheffield Wednesday, with Reina, Carragher, Steven Gerrard, Agger and Kuyt all unplaying.

Facing only half of the main team and the physical strength of Liverpool, Sheffield Wednesday, who had a full week of rest, unceremoniously launched an attack, scoring two goals in the first half.

The first goal came in the 27th minute, Abondan Sheri drove a goal kick, Modric got rid of Liverpool defender Paletta and picked the ball into the penalty area, Adebayo headed the net, 1:0!

Five minutes later, Sheffield Wednesday scored another goal, Guarin split the ball to the right, Lennon made a long diagonal pass into the box, Cazorla got rid of Kranjeca's defense on the left side of the penalty area and fired a low shot into the far corner, 2:0!!

In the second half of the game, Sheffield Wednesday's physical advantage was even more obvious. The heat in England in April exacerbated the physical exertion of the players. Liverpool pulled a goal back from a corner from Hyypia, but Sheffield Wednesday were still in control, relying on Bam Adebayor's goal to stretch the gap to two goals again.

Seeing that the game was hopeless, Benitez replaced the main team and gave up the game, and finally Sheffield Wednesday defeated Liverpool with a score of 3:1, reopening the gap with Liverpool to 4 points, and overwhelmed Arsenal, who drew in this round, to the third place in the league by virtue of goal difference, and Sheffield Wednesday, who had one less game, regained the initiative.

However, Sheffield Wednesday suffered a blow in the next game, as Everton, who were fighting for Europa League qualification, knocked Sheffield Wednesday 2-0. The more combative Everton taught Lee a lesson, that is, on the pitch, willpower is sometimes more important than strength. After this game, Arsenal, who won the draw, are now one point ahead of Sheffield Wednesday, while Liverpool have also closed the gap to Sheffield Wednesday to one point.

The final round of the league will be a head-to-head meeting between Arsenal and Sheffield Wednesday, who could be knocked out of the top four if they don't win their replay against Newcastle.

Lee Seung-peak has reined in his thoughts and is no longer thinking about Inter Milan next season, he wants to win the make-up match against Newcastle to ensure Sheffield Wednesday's Champions League qualification next season. Although Lee will no longer be in charge of Sheffield Wednesday next season, he hopes to leave without regrets.

With similar strength, attitude is everything, and in the face of Newcastle, which has no desire this season, Sheffield Wednesday, who have played more proactively, occupy the absolute advantage on the field.

Sheffield Wednesday took the lead after just seven minutes of play, with Luka Modric passing into the box and Toney getting off to a great start with a low shot from Clegg Moore and Steven Taylor.

Newcastle, who are behind, have no intention of fighting back and have allowed Sheffield Wednesday to vent on them. In the 59th minute, Modric scored with a left-footed volley more than 20 meters from the goal to extend the score to 2:0.

Sheffield Wednesday, who are two goals ahead, are a bit relaxed, and Lee doesn't think Newcastle have the ability to score three goals in the remaining 30 minutes. As long as they don't lose this game, Sheffield Wednesday can secure a top-four spot in the league, and what makes the difference between third and fourth, they all need to start from qualifying. Not last year or the year before, Liverpool and Arsenal could also squeeze fourth place out of the Champions League by winning the Champions League.

Liverpool in the CM world did not reach the Champions League final this season as they did in the real world, as they were eliminated by Chelsea in the semi-finals with a 2-1 aggregate score over two legs.

In the 69th minute, Lescott fouled Milner in the penalty area, and Emre scored a penalty to pull one back. The goal made Lee very angry, although he could understand the slackness of the players, but still could not tolerate it, he replaced Cazorla and Biglia, and asked Sheffield Wednesday to step up the attack, "If you can't win this game, then double the training volume tomorrow." ”

The spurred Sheffield Wednesday players did not dare to relax and began to attack around Newcastle's half, before a goal from Bent in the 80th minute opened the score to two goals again and secure the victory.

After a 3-1 win at home to Newcastle, Sheffield Wednesday stretched the gap to fifth-placed Liverpool to four points, so that regardless of the outcome of their final league game, Sheffield Wednesday will be third in the league and have an early Champions League place for next season.

However, Arsenal are not fully ashore, they are only two points ahead of Liverpool, but the goal difference is less than Liverpool, if they cannot win in the final round and Liverpool win, then they will not be able to play in the Champions League for two consecutive seasons, which will be a fatal blow to the cash-strapped Arsenal.

But none of this has anything to do with Li Chengfeng, he has more important things to do in the real world. Today in the real world is the Chinese New Year in 2017, although Li Chengfeng cannot return to China to reunite with his family, but the necessary procedures must be taken, such as calling to bless, eating dumplings, watching the Spring Festival Gala or something. But before he was with his family, now, he is alone.

Li Chengfeng stayed alone in the hotel, eating the food provided by the hotel, watching the Spring Festival Gala on TV, but he couldn't eat a little taste, and the lively noise on TV couldn't drive away the loneliness in his heart. He just turned on the TV, lay on the bed, looked at the ceiling, and didn't move.

The best way to forget about your worries is to work, and Lee Seung-bong quickly threw himself into the world of CM, with one last game left on Sheffield Wednesday this season, which is at home to Arsenal. This game is inconsequential for Sheffield Wednesday, but it is crucial for Arsenal, who must win this game to secure Champions League qualification next season.

In this game, Arsenal worked hard, they ran all over the field, tried their best, and ended the whole season early, and the players of Sheffield Wednesday, who could only send a second-tier squad due to physical reasons, were obviously unable to defeat the explosive Arsenal. Sheffield Wednesday lost this game 0-1, the field is much more ugly than the score, if it weren't for the injuries of several of Arsenal's main rotation forwards, and the replacement of Bendtner and the like, Sheffield Wednesday would definitely not have lost only 1 goal.

Although Liverpool's last-round victory over their opponents did not help, and now it is Liverpool's turn to lose their qualification for the Champions League, and Sheffield Wednesday's rise has really big implications. However, next season Li Chengfeng will leave Sheffield Wednesday, and he will take away a few core players, perhaps this season is the last performance of this youth army, and the Premier League will return to the situation of the top four, but I don't know if the rising Tottenham can break their monopoly on Champions League qualification.

Thinking of this, Li Chengfeng couldn't help but feel a little sad, but there is no banquet in the world, for more points, in order to live better, Li Chengfeng must leave. Moreover, even if he doesn't leave, Li Chengfeng doesn't feel that he can do better next season.

Sheffield Wednesday are third this season with 76 points and a goal difference of 33, which is more than 24 points more than last season, which is more than a month of life for him.

That's not the most important thing, Sheffield Wednesday have won 4, drawn 3 and lost 3 in this season's strong conversation, which is much better than last season's record of 3 draws and 7 defeats without a win. If it weren't for the fact that they had lost too many points against the weaker teams, even if it was just the same performance as last season, they would have overwhelmed Chelsea in the top two this season, and with a little luck, there was even a chance to win the title.

But it's no wonder that last season, everyone regarded Sheffield Wednesday as a soft persimmon, even if the relegation team wanted to take a bite from Sheffield Wednesday, play naturally and openly, which is suitable for Sheffield Wednesday's defensive counterattack tactics. This season, Sheffield Wednesday has added strong reinforcements, and the strength has been greatly improved, and the results against Haoqiang are much better, but it has also attracted the attention of other teams, and it is naturally much more difficult to get points under their targeted arrangement. Sheffield Wednesday's team has improved, but there is still a big gap compared to Premier League hegemons such as Manchester United and Chelsea.

This season, Liverpool and Arsenal are in a collective slump in the league, Liverpool is because of the distraction of the Champions Cup, and Arsenal is because of the injury of the absolute core Henry missed many games, if it weren't for their newly introduced striker Santa Cruz who played the best season of his career, if it wasn't for the fact that they didn't have the Champions Cup this season to specialize in the league, I'm afraid that Arsenal would have fallen behind in the race for Champions Cup qualification.

When the Premier League's traditional semi-finals re-emerge next season, that will be when the Premier League is at its most competitive, and will the underinvested Sheffield Wednesday be able to achieve such results next season? Li Chengfeng is really not sure, but this is not his turn to worry about, he will not be Sheffield Wednesday's coach at the end of the season.
