Chapter 0768, the battle for the fourth

A crucial goal took United a point away from home.

It's just one point, but it's also very crucial.

Especially for Manchester United, who are aiming for the top four, not to mention a point now, even if it is just a goal, it is very important.

With a few rivals scoring a similar number of goals, it may be possible to end up with a goal difference.

In the 36th and 37th rounds of the league, Manchester United won Crystal Palace and drew with West Ham.

Xia Xing is still in excellent form, and Pogba has also performed well.

In the final sprint, no one in the United squad let their spirits up.

With the final round of the league remaining, the league is still unclear about the battle for four and six.

The championship has been produced in advance, five rounds of league games as early as possible.

Liverpool are well ahead of Manchester City and Jurgen Klopp has finally delivered on his promise last season this season.

But for Manchester United, they don't care.

Whether it's Liverpool or Manchester City, whoever wins the championship is annoying to them.

Just fight for the fourth in a down-to-earth manner.

Manchester United and Chelsea are now both on 63 points, with United sitting in third place on goal difference.

Behind them, though, Leicester City are close behind with 62 points.

Tottenham have 56 points and have completely lost the possibility of fighting for the fourth.

Now they even face competition from Wolves and Arsenal on the same 56 points, and it is likely that they will not be able to retain sixth place.

This season the Premier League has been crazy.

In the final game, Chelsea faced a desperate relegation side, and their three points were largely secured.

But United's final battle was like a final.

Their opponents are none other than the top four contenders, Leicester City.

July 26, 2020, 19:30, King Power Stadium.

Today, the final round of the Premier League season will be the main event.

Manchester United vs Leicester City.

In the stands, countless Leicester City fans unfurled slogans.

"Xia, we like you! But we have to support our team today! ”

This tone is exactly the attitude of Leicester City towards Manchester United in this game.

Among the current Premier League teams, it would not be too much to say that Manchester United and Leicester City have the best relationship.

In the Leicester City squad, there are former Manchester United player Evans, and former Manchester United meritorious goalkeeper Schmeichel Junior's son Schmeichel.

In the Manchester United squad, there are a number of former Leicester City players.

Needless to say, he is the former Leicester City third captain and the current Manchester United captain.

There is also Harry Maguire, who joined last summer, and Drinkwater, who left Leicester City to join the team.

The relationship between the two parties is very good.

But in today's game, the two sides are going to fight hard.

For an important Champions League spot, they have to give it their all.

On the pitchside, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was chatting nicely with Brendan Rodgers.

As the coaches of both teams, although both of them are bound to win this game today, they don't see how serious they are from their expressions.

Especially as a former Liverpool manager, Rodgers seems very friendly.

"You Manchester United have to be more dominant in this game, after all, you are ahead in points, and a draw will guarantee a place in the top four. And we have to win, it's hard. ”

'You can't say that either, after all, you're at home and we're more injured, or we're under more pressure.'

"Hehe, speaking of which, no matter what the result of today's game is, I wish you Manchester United a smooth Europa League victory."

"Thank you."

'If you win the Europa League, you'll be fifth in the league this season and you'll be in the Champions League.

"And Manchester City, they are still in the Champions League, if they win the Champions League, then we will all be able to play in the Champions League."

"Sounds good."

The two smiled and shook hands, and turned to walk to their own coach's box.

Turning around, Rogers pouted.

As a former Liverpool manager, he has already incorporated the "Manchester United is a mortal enemy" into his blood.

Even now that I have left the Red Army, this feeling is still there.

His words just now are clearly showing weakness, that is, he wants Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to let down his guard and give his team more chances.

And Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who also had his back to him, how could he not know?

So when answering Rogers' remarks, he understated, did not pick up, and even praised his opponent by the way.

As a veteran of Manchester United, he has been following his parent club over the years and knows the situation of his foe well.

Rogers, Old Fox.

At this time, on the court, the players of both sides are also communicating amicably.

Especially the players who have played for two teams are even more related.

Leicester City captain Morgan hugged Xia Xing warmly: "Xia, I'm very happy to see you every time. ”

"Captain, so am I."

"Now that you're the captain, every time I see you, I can always recall that once youthful face, destroying the city in the Championship."

"It was a great memory, so good."

Vardy also walked up and gave Xia Xing a punch: "I annoy you every time I see you in the arena, why did I run into you again, it's really annoying." ”

"No way, who made me always win you."

"Phew! We must win this game for Leicester City! ”

The three of them talked and laughed and chatted in a friendly manner, while Leicester City vice-captain Kasper Schmeichel patted Drinkwater on the shoulder.

"The season is almost over, what are you going to do in the future? Stay at Manchester United? ”

"It's not decided yet, the two sides are talking."

"That's the fight for it, yes, yes. I want you to stay at Manchester United, it's a better place for you than Chelsea. ”

"yes, I have familiar teammates and coaches who follow me, I love it here."

"It's a bit of a shame to say that last summer I thought about suggesting that management sign you back. In the end, you were invited by Xia Xing. ”

"Leicester City has a lot of talent right now, and there's no shortage of me, hehe."

"Don't say that, when we created the 'Leicester Miracle' together, you were an important member of the central axis."

Those past stories are touching every time I talk about them.

Maguire is not good at talking, and he is a little reserved around the bigwigs.

He's such a guy that he doesn't talk much outside of 90 minutes.

The veteran Evans stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "You've been great at Manchester United this season, I'm very proud of you. ”

"Thank you, Evans."

'You're one of the best centre-backs I've ever worked with, come on, you're going to be the best centre-back in the world.'

Looking at Evans with a smile on his face in front of him, Maguire was extremely moved.

When I was at Leicester last season, the two were a good centre-back pairing.

Evans has taught him a lot of defensive experience that he has learned a lot.

And after learning that he was about to join Manchester United, Evans gave him a lot of help.

He was told how to live at Manchester United, and introduced him to some of his friends at Manchester United.

Maguire will always remember this emotion.

But today, feelings are feelings, and battles are battles. A battle for the four is about to start! (End of chapter)
