3.073 Champion, another champion
In such an important competition, Li Chengfeng naturally went out to compete for the championship. Southampton are also in full swing and they still have hope of qualifying for Europe, albeit a little slim.
In the second minute of the opening game, Manchester City defender Godin showed Manchester City's determination with a tackle and a yellow card. In the 20th minute, Sean Long broke through and shook Zabaleta's tackle, and the last push was blocked by Neuer. One minute later, Silva went straight and Aguero struck into the box and hit the near corner.
In the 24th minute, Manchester City took the lead, Toure's explosive shot after cutting caused the goalkeeper to get out of his hands, and Aguero scored a supplementary goal, 1:0!
In the 31st minute, Manchester City extended their lead! Silva slanted, Zabaleta crossed a low ball, Hazard pushed the goal in the small penalty area, Manchester City 2:0, firmly in their own hands.
Southampton's fate was out of their own hands, and now that they are two goals down, the pre-match enthusiasm has long since disappeared, and the performance on the pitch is like a routine, and Manchester City are not too busy to chase the victory.
Li Chengfeng began to make substitutions in the midfield to prepare for the Champions League final, and the game became more and more boring. In the final stoppage time, Kolarov took a corner kick, Di Maria's right-footed shot caused chaos, Mangala headed to the back post, and the unguarded Aguero headed into the empty net, 3-0.
The big win undid an entire season of Chelsea's efforts to lead the league for 36 rounds. Fate was so cruel, the Chelsea people ruined in those two games in a whole season, and if they didn't make consecutive mistakes in the final stages, City had no chance of turning the tables around.
But fate has no ifs, and everyone will only remember that the championship is professional football.
won the Premier League championship, and it will soon be the Europa League final between Birmingham and Como in the real world, Li Chengfeng and Wenger, the duel between the young coach and the old coach, who can win the final championship.
Arsene Wenger is naturally going all out, even if Li Chengfeng is his boss, and he wants to end his coaching career with a heavyweight trophy. But Li Chengfeng will not back down, he also wants to win this trophy and lead Birmingham to next season's Champions League and relieve the pressure on the new stadium. However, he will not use his status as a boss to suppress Wenger, which is the pride of a coach.
Arsenal used a 4-2-3-1 formation for this match. In the goalkeeper position is Rajkovic. At the back, Depaoli, Van Hestden, Marco, Vannorman are on the back. In midfield, the combination of Almenda, Odegaard, Guedes, Gravenberg and Almada is also worth looking forward to, with Pinamonte playing as a lone striker in the front.
Lee Seung-bong responded with a 4-4-2, with two strong interception midfielders to provide security for the team's defensive counter-attack, and the midfield of McNeil, Chong Tahi and Xavi Eliat provided strong support for the strikers Joelinton and Isak.
As the referee blew the opening whistle, the two teams quickly got into the groove and began to entangle in midfield. In the 18th minute, Como Almenda hung the ball in the box, but unfortunately Gravinberg did not reach the first point. A minute later, five passes in a row in the Arsenal penalty area! Very beautiful team attack, but unfortunately Guedes's header hit the ground and the ball was too slow.
The legend of Almada! Pass it to Pinamonti! Pinamonti was already facing the goalkeeper and he tried to rub a kick into the far corner, but it was saved by Birmingham goalkeeper Bazunu. Corner kick out! There was chaos in front of the door! Marco's sweep bounced off Bednarek and bounced off the line. Cuomo took another corner and Odegaard at the far end crossed into the box, but Portius defended the ball and defused the crisis.
Como's attack was continuous and flashy, and like Arsenal before it, Birmingham were overwhelmed. Compared to talent and cooperation, the current Birmingham is still not as good as Como. Due to the restrictions of labor certification, there are many good players who cannot land in the Premier League immediately, so Lee Chengfeng put them in Como and Norka first, and then took them to Birmingham when the opportunity came. However, this season, because Wenger is in his last season, Lee Seungfeng did not choose to transfer some of his targets to Birmingham, and at that time he did not expect Birmingham and Como to go this far.
The referee's whistle blew and the first half ended with the score at 0-0, with Cuomo attacking fiercely, but Birmingham also defending hard.
The first half of the game was still maintained on the field, and Como relied on a gorgeous attacking combination to besiege Birmingham, who could only threaten Como's goal with few counter-attacking opportunities.
It was hard to hold on to such a defence, and under Como's strong attack, Birmingham finally made a mistake and Como was the first to break the goal. In the 61st minute, Arsenal Guedes crossed from the left side of the baseline, and Pinamonti pressed Marco and scored the ball strongly.
The game went on for 61 minutes, leaving Birmingham with few opportunities, Lee Seung-peak replaced Elvares and Dembele in a row and began to counterattack, while Cuomo insisted on attacking for more than 60 minutes, his physical strength dropped quickly, and he also relaxed the offensive, and Birmingham began to counterattack.
In the 83rd minute, Birmingham finally equalized, and it was Joelinton who scored! Joelinton faced Marco on the counterattack, first picked the latter, and then rubbed past the attacking goalkeeper, and easily scored the ball, 1:1!
Como tried to end the battle early with the remainder of the game, when Guedes played a 45-degree pass into the box from the left, but Bazunu confiscated the ball and Birmingham stubbornly held on to the scoreline and the game went to extra-time.
Soon after the start of extra time, Marco suffered cramps from exhaustion, and Lucas Mai came off the bench before he could warm up. Como, who insisted on attacking throughout the game, had a problem with his stamina, and Lee Seung-bong knew that Birmingham's chance had come.
In the 7th minute, Birmingham City took an indirect free kick and Tahith Chung fired a left-footed shot from outside the penalty area, but the ball grazed the left post and went wide. Birmingham City then had another indirect free-kick opportunity when Joelinton fired a left-footed shot from the right side of the penalty area after receiving a pass from Tahith Chung, but the ball grazed the left-hand post.
In the 12th minute, Joelinton sent an assist through the ball, Dembele shot with his left foot in the center of the penalty area, and the ball flew into the middle of the Como goal, Birmingham 2:1 Como!

In the 6th minute, Cuomo took an indirect free-kick, and after receiving a pass from Vanomaman, Odegao fired a left-footed shot from outside the box that deflected off the left post.
Cuomo was awarded another indirect free-kick and after receiving a pass from Guedes, Grawinberg fired a right-footed shot from the centre of the box that went wide of the right-hand post.
In the 13th minute, Arsenal took a tactical corner, and after receiving a cross from Odegaard from the side, substitute Colidio headed in the middle of the penalty area, and the ball went high into the top left corner of the goal. It was also Como's last shot on goal, and in the end, Birmingham won 2-1 over Como after 120 minutes of fierce battle, won the Europa League this season and qualified for the Champions League next season.
