However, the topic of the England national team is still a matter of the future for Li Lei. His eyes are now focused on United's final game of the season, the FA Cup final against Millwall at the Millennium Stadium in Wales.

Although it is realistic that United still have their final Premier League game away to Villa this season, this inconsequential league has not piqued the interest of any Manchester United player, including Li Lei.

Even Alex Ferguson, who has always been extremely strict with Manchester United's players, instructed his coach Xu to focus his preparations on Millwall after the game against Chelsea, selectively forgetting the existence of Villa as an opponent.

However, Manchester United is preparing for the game easily, but Liverpool is as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

After the league with Manchester United, although Liverpool's fourth position was surpassed by Villa and Newcastle behind them, which once put the top English giants into the super embarrassing dilemma of not even having to play in the Champions League next season, but fortunately, in the next 37th round of the league, Villa and Newcastle both missed the front and were forced to draw by Southampton and Wolves respectively, so that Liverpool, who beat Birmingham by three goals away in this round, was lucky to squeeze back into the Champions League zone of the Premier League after only one round of games.

It's just that the joy of this lost and regained is not long for the whole Liverpool team to rest assured. They are well aware that they still have one final hurdle to overcome if they are to retain their place in next season's Champions League qualification. With just one point ahead of Villa and Newcastle behind them, it's far from the time when they can relax.

Among them, in the final round of the Premier League, their match at home to Anfield to meet Newcastle has become the most watched game in this round, a direct competition for qualification for next season's Champions League.

For them, it's a game they can't lose.

And in addition to this, Villa's home game against Manchester United is also something they have to consider.

It would be best to win at home to Newcastle so that you don't have to look at the faces of Villa and Manchester United, but if they are held to a draw by Newcastle, their fate will be out of their control. Considering Newcastle's strong performance this season, Liverpool fans may not want to admit it, but in their hearts they have to admit that in terms of the current strength and performance of the team, it seems that this situation is the most likely.

In such a situation, a funny scene arises. As a century-old enemy, Liverpool, who were afraid that Manchester United would deliberately let go of water to do their own, began to desperately hope that Manchester United could win and kill Villa away from home.

Up to the top management of Liverpool, down to coach Houllier and Gerrard and other Liverpool players, in an interview before the start of the final round of the Premier League, they suddenly began to speak out, saying a lot of things such as hoping that Manchester United will maintain the competitive spirit and take the last round of Premier League games seriously, only in this way can we maintain the spectacle of Premier League games and the brand image of the Premier League, trying to use public opinion to force Manchester United not to release water.

To be honest, this is also facing the sworn enemy Manchester United, so that the Liverpool people can't put down their heads to make a sincere request, and only say this kind of careless cliché to carry out soft persecution from public opinion. If it were to other teams other than Everton, Liverpool, which has a wide network of contacts in England, has already begun to actively launch a public relations offensive.

For this situation, Manchester United fans are naturally happy, and even the depression of the team's poor performance this season has disappeared a lot, and the pleasure of overwhelming the enemy head, your uncle or your uncle, makes them enjoy it very much.

In this regard, the reaction of Li Lei and other Manchester United players is relatively weak. The feeling of holding the fate of their mortal enemy in their hands certainly made them very happy, but they knew very well that if they really let them deliberately release water to do Liverpool, they would definitely not be able to do it.

No matter what kind of grievances and entanglements with Liverpool, Manchester United has its own pride in being a top giant, and this kind of inappropriate small means are disdainful to do.

As Ferguson said when asked by reporters: "We only focus on our own games, and we put out the squad and players that I think are the most suitable for the situation, and we are not affected by any other team's factors. We are Manchester United, we never do anything because of others, we never do anything about ourselves! ”

However, no matter what the old coach says, it can't stop the media from hyping Liverpool and Newcastle, Manchester United and Villa into the focus of the final round of the Premier League before the final round of the Premier League.

At the same time, the FA did not forget to join in the fun. In addition to deliberately having the two matches start at the same time, they also sent their most reliable enforcement line-up to defend their pre-match slogan of "no match-fixing".

In the end, after this ups and downs and the action that attracted everyone's attention before the game, this season's Premier League still drew a happy ending for Liverpool.

While Liverpool drew 1-1 at home to Newcastle, Manchester United, who challenged Villa away, did not deliberately release the water to take this opportunity to be their old enemy, and easily won the game with two goals from Ruud van Nistelrooy and Ryan Giggs in the second half, and fixed their Premier League results this season in third place.

This is not to say that Li Lei and they really don't want to take the opportunity to do Liverpool, but Villa, who is really fighting at home, is not angry. In this kind of key game, it was obvious that he made a big mistake, because of his impatient mentality, he could not give full play to his strength, and in the face of Manchester United, which was almost all substitutes, he lost with 2 goals cleanly, and he lost almost the place to participate in the Champions League qualification next season.

I have to say that this is indeed a bit of a pity for Li Lei, who is full of bad taste. Although he couldn't deliberately let go of the water and play match-fixing to kill Liverpool, before the start of the last round of the Premier League, he really vaguely expected that Villa could defeat the all-substitute Manchester United and squeeze out Liverpool's Champions League qualification.

This time, compared to the hatred of losing the gate and losing, the expectation and fun of watching Liverpool's bad luck in Li Lei's heart is undoubtedly even better.

After all, this league match with Villa is too insignificant for Manchester United and him.

However, the regret of this bad taste was quickly left behind by him. Because for him, more important things are already close at hand, and he doesn't have the time to think about these things anymore.

FA Cup Final!

Millwall, Blue Lions!!

It's just around the corner!!
