Li Haolong is not alone, and he is also joined by Aston Villa, who are still advancing steadily in the second half of the Premier League season and have maintained the momentum of the title race. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The current standings are relatively clear, there is only one round of games left, the top two Manchester United and Chelsea are only one point apart, Villa is seven points behind the first-place Manchester United, has withdrawn from the title race, but overtook Liverpool in third place, four points ahead, has firmly entered the Champions League zone.

Liverpool did not have last season's big collapse, but the gap between the two teams was already small, in the second leg of the 24th round, the Villa team returned to the home stadium to play a tough defense, 1-0 victory over Liverpool, compared to the first leg of the passionate 9 goals, it is really lackluster, but it doesn't matter, the important thing is to get three points, no one wants to go crazy with Klopp. Although Liverpool is ranked fourth, UEFA has just carried out the Champions League reform, and in the 2018-2019 season, the top 4 in the top 4 leagues in Europe (West, Germany, England, Italy) directly entered the Champions League, unlike the previous 4th place and played in the play-offs, so Liverpool also successfully won the direct ticket to the Champions League.

The 2018-2019 season is an opportunity for the Premier League to correct its name in the Champions League, Manchester United and Liverpool are both English clubs in European competition, Chelsea due to the presence of Conte and pragmatic style of play, also has a strong competitiveness, in fact, he is good this year, reached the quarterfinals, but unfortunately was nicknamed "Huang Saren" in the "Ren" eliminated. In the past few years, Tottenham, Arsenal, Manchester City and other teams representing the Premier League have had dismal results, and they are sorry for the name of "First League". The Premier League is indeed the first in terms of prosperity and openness, but the record is not even as good as that of Ligue 1, and this situation must be improved. Upstart Aston Villa is also a little exciting, and the characteristics of being good at knockout rounds are once again reflected, although they are competing in the Europa League for the first time after changing hands, but they have overcome all the obstacles to reach the final, and will face Sevilla FC who have returned to the Champions League in the Champions League and returned to the group stage. One wants to defend the dignity of the Premier League, the other vows to reclaim the Sevilla Cup, which once belonged to him, and a week later will stage the second best showdown in Europe.

The situation of the other teams is gradually becoming clear, Arsenal has improved slightly in the run-in, climbed to fifth, Tottenham Hotspur, who has not invested enough, fell to sixth, Manchester City fell further, falling out of the ranks of the seven dragons, ranking eighth, Everton forced into the scene and jumped to seventh. In addition, the new teams Brighton, Middlesbrough and Swansea were unfortunately relegated, and Leeds United, Sheffield Wednesday and Fulham were successfully promoted from the Championship.

In the FA Cup game, the Villa team only played the quarterfinals and did not go to the end, Petrov resolutely implemented the purpose of the training squad formulated at the beginning of the season, insisted on playing with all substitutes, and Li Haolong was quite satisfied with this result.

In terms of individual honours, Antoine Griezmann lived up to expectations and was lucky, suffering no injuries throughout the year, breaking the Premier League scorer list record in the penultimate round, scoring 35 goals, and in the final round at home to Brighton, who had been relegated and had no intention of falling in love, he is expected to break the record again.

This year is a year of personal leap for Griezmann, out of Atletico Madrid's rigorous team tactics, to an open environment, the Villa team to create a technical and tactical style of play with him as the tactical core, so that he ushered in a blowout, plus 16 goals in the Europa League (expected to break the record of 17 goals set by Falcao in 2011), has reached 51 goals, officially entered the 50+ club, is the third person after Messi Ronaldo monopolized the 50+ club since Larsson in 2001, The official ice-breaking broke the pattern of the two-point world.

Cristiano Ronaldo's form has declined this year, but Rao still scored 48 goals, and his record of 50+ goals in six consecutive seasons has unfortunately ended. Messi, who is a little younger, has also declined in dominance, and the situation of walking and playing is becoming more and more obvious, although he still scored 51 goals, but more often it is Neymar who is fighting and leading the team. The inheritance of three generations of kings, the story of Ronaldo to Messi, Messi to Neymar, and Barcelona No. 10.

Some say this year could also be the best time for Antoine Griezmann to break the Ballon d'Or by two monsters, and although he only finished third in the Premier League, he has a standout individual performance, and he still has the Europa League final to play, and the World Cup in Russia next. Benefiting from France's open immigration policy, the French team has formed a talent blowout and has achieved good results in the past two years, this time it is not a luxury to get good results or even win the championship again, Griezmann is expected to achieve each other with the French team, the yellow robe is added, compared to Griezmann, Pogba's performance this year is also quite good, is the biggest help for Manchester United to win the championship, but compared to the grid, there is still a disadvantage in personal data, and the two are temporarily at a disadvantage in the personal competition, but he is still young and has a lot of opportunities.

The Champions League is the top priority every year, and this year is still the case, with the final between Bayern Munich and the super dark horse Monaco, and the departure of Fabinho Monaco is still strong, especially the strong rise of Mbappe, the 20-year-old French striker was favored by the major giants after the elimination of Manchester City last year, and Manchester United brought in him at the age of 110 million euros during the winter break, but he was rejected. After being forced to stay by the club for a year, Mbappe ushered in a big explosion, and the summer of 2018 is bound to usher in a crazy rush of major clubs, and there is even news that Monaco will only be tempted when facing an offer of 150 million euros, which is the norm of the opening of the era of 100 million yuan, and the unit of "100 million" is no longer dazzling.

For this summer's transfer, the outside world is very concerned about Li Haolong, who has made a big move to spend pounds in the past two seasons, but unlike the high-profile and early-time work of previous years, Li Haolong and the Villa team have maintained a considerable degree of silence, and they have not leaked a word to the outside world.

Such silence Li Haolong is based on three considerations, the team is currently competing for the Europa League at a critical moment, he does not want to bring pressure to the players in the corresponding position because of the recruitment, thereby affecting the performance of the players, and stabilizing the morale of the army is the biggest task at present. Second, the team's performance this season is acceptable, and there are no obvious shortcomings in the team's position, even the most star-studded Alario has scored a total of 21 goals in all competitions, low-key and practical, maybe some positions need to be fine-tuned, but he still needs time to consider. Thirdly, he doesn't want to expose his target too early and cause a price hike, he has already suffered a lot of losses in the past two seasons, and he has indeed spent a little more money, no matter what, there will certainly be no big changes this summer.
