In the penultimate round of the Premier League, Manchester City, who played as a substitute, drew 0-0 at home to relegation team Hassfield.

Despite not coming out victorious, City took advantage of the draw to boost their season points to 100 points.

It is also the first time in the history of the Premier League that a team has reached triple figures in points.

And Hasfield also relied on this draw to successfully go ashore and successfully relegated.

This is a very good result for a promoted team who finished fifth in the Championship last season and were promoted to the Premier League through the play-offs.

So after this game, the players of both teams were celebrating.

Manchester City celebrated 100 points from the season, while Hasfield celebrated their successful relegation.

The Premier League's broadcast share is very high, so for many teams, whether they can be relegated is a matter of life and death.

Once they are relegated, they will lose the high broadcast income of the Premier League, and their entire team will be unable to make ends meet, and the players will choose to leave, and the whole team will immediately face a situation of collapse.

It is for this reason that many teams have suffered a serious injury after being relegated to the Championship, and they have been unable to complete the overtake and return to the Premier League.

Along with Hasfield, Liverpool's younger brother Southampton was relegated.

Interestingly, Southampton will face Manchester United's younger brother Everton in this round.

The grudge between the bosses of the two teams seems to have continued to their respective younger brothers.

So in this crucial game for Southampton, Everton had no intention of letting go of the water at all, and caught Southampton to kick to death.

A total of nine yellow cards and one red card were spawned in this match, seven of which were for Southampton.

After Southampton's centre-back Mashi Yoshida was also sent off in the final moments of the game, Everton launched a fierce attack and scored a goal in extra-time to put the victory that Southampton saw on the verge of victory.

After this draw, Southampton are three points clear of the relegation zone, but they cannot be said to have been 100 per cent relegation-free.

But given their goal difference is nine more than bottom-third Swansea, relegation is largely impossible as long as they don't suffer an epic defeat in their next game.

But those who could clearly ensure going ashore appeared at the last moment.

This has deepened the feud between Southampton and Everton.

Everton's little brother didn't win, and neither did their boss Manchester United.

Manchester United, who played away, lost to Brighton, another younger brother of Liverpool, and was very faceless.

However, Liverpool also lost to Chelsea, so the gap between them has not narrowed.

With only one final round of the league remaining, Manchester United are four points ahead of third-placed Tottenham Hotspur and have already secured second place in the league ahead of schedule.

Of course, second or third in the league makes no difference for Manchester United, they want the league title more.

But one look at the exaggerated margin between them and Manchester City makes the Reds despair.

The gap is too big to catch up at all.

As for Liverpool, the situation is a bit dangerous for them after losing to direct rivals Chelsea.

With only one final round of the league remaining, Liverpool are just two points ahead of Chelsea on points.

With Liverpool's current goal difference, a draw in the next round would seal a fourth place in the league.

But a draw to qualify seems to be a curse in the whole football world.

There have been many teams that have fallen under this curse.

But the good thing is that Liverpool don't have to worry too much.

Because their opponent in the final round is Brighton, and Brighton are Liverpool's hardcore junior brother.

When it comes to the crucial moment when their boss is fighting for the top four in the league, Brighton will definitely cooperate actively.

For this reason, Chelsea is very dissatisfied, and has been repeatedly emphasizing in front of the media what is fair and just in the league, in order to get the FA and Premier League officials to come forward and stop the possible tacit understanding between Liverpool and Brighton.

Chelsea's wishful thinking is to use the pressure of public opinion to force Liverpool and Brighton to fight for real things.

Brighton's win over Manchester United suggests they have been in good form of late.

If they can show this kind of form to play Liverpool, maybe they really hope to snipe Liverpool.

Chelsea's next opponent is Newcastle United, a team that actually has an ambiguous relationship with Chelsea and can be regarded as a team of his Blues faction.

So the Chelsea feel they have a good chance of winning their next game, and as long as Brighton do a little bit to beat Liverpool, then they can squeeze Liverpool out of the Champions League next season.

But, that's just a thought!

In the final round of the league, Liverpool beat Brighton 4-0 at home.

Liverpool had 78 per cent possession and more than a dozen times as many shots on goal

The scene was completely one-sided, Brighton, who only beat Manchester United in the last round, had no power to fight back in front of Liverpool, and did not even have a symbolic resistance, and surrendered directly.

On the other hand, Chelsea's score is 3:0.

But it wasn't Chelsea who scored three goals, it was Newcastle United.

With the two games playing at the same time, Chelsea's morale collapsed after learning that Liverpool had scored two goals in the first half.

The players were in disarray and were scored by Newcastle in quick succession.

That's when Chelsea's talent reacted:

No, aren't you my little brother?

Why are you kicking me so hard?

In fact, two or three years ago, Newcastle United could have been the Blues' junior brother.

But in recent years, with the rise of Manchester City, the Blues have declined.

Newcastle United's thinking came alive, they felt that Manchester City's thighs seemed to be thicker, and since they wanted to hug their thighs, it was better to hug the thighs of the blue moon.

Manchester City, in particular, has a lot of talent in the squad, and if these talented talents are to transfer in the future, Newcastle may be able to rely on the good relationship between the two clubs to get close to the water.

So, after recognising the reality, they decisively abandoned Chelsea.

Poor Chelsea, who thought they had a chance to live, turned out to be their own imagination from start to finish.

In the final round of the league, Manchester City beat Southampton 1-0 away, increasing their total points for the season to 103 points.

This is not only the highest score in the history of the Premier League, but also breaks the history of the top five leagues.

The last record was Juventus' 102 points in Serie A in the 2013-2014 season, with Manchester City surpassing them by one point.

Throughout the 2017-2018 season, Manchester City had a staggering record of 33 wins, 4 draws and 1 defeat in the league.

Not only did they break the Premier League's record for the most points, but they also set the Premier League's record for the biggest winning streak, and both records are likely to be difficult to break for the foreseeable future.

After the trough of the previous year, Manchester City returned with a new attitude, and crushed all the princes with absolute dominance, and climbed to the top of the Premier League.

Now, before they declare themselves kings, they are only one last championship trophy - the Big Ears Cup!

……

After the Premier League's final game, Pep Guardiola gave the team a three-day break to give the players a good rest and relaxation.

Playing in the Premier League is a test for everyone, not only physically, but also mentally and willpoweringly.

With no winter break, Premier League players play a month longer than players from other leagues.

And this year is another World Cup year, and the vast majority of Manchester City's players are the main players of their respective national teams.

This leaves them with no time to rest when they could have had a good rest in the summer offseason.

Moreover, the intensity of the World Cup is much higher than that of the league and the Champions League, and in such a tense and intense game, the players are already prone to injury, and the players who have not been rested and relaxed for a long time are more likely to be injured.

He doesn't want his team to be injured after the World Cup!

Of course, this kind of thing is not something that the manager of one of his clubs can decide.

Players from all over the world, including Chinese players who have been defeated repeatedly, are extremely eager to participate in the World Cup and play for their country.

At that time, the Brazilian star Kaka even left his career behind in order to play for the Brazilian team, and forced himself to play behind closed plays, leaving himself with a huge injury risk.

It can be seen how attractive the World Cup is and how fatal it is to the players.

Therefore, even if they know that they are prone to injury, the players will not hesitate to go up and work hard.

In this regard, Guardiola can only do his best to give them more rest, reduce their pressure, and help them avoid injuries as much as possible.

After the five major leagues have ended, the 32 teams participating in the 2018 World Cup in Russia have begun to announce the 23-man squad of their respective national teams.

On May 21, when Manchester City was actively preparing for the Champions League final against Real Madrid in six days, the Spanish Football Federation held a press conference and announced the 23-man squad of the Spanish national team.

Goalkeepers: De Gea (Manchester United), Reyna (Napoli), Kopa (Athletic Bilbao)

Defenders: Alba (Barcelona), Nacho (Real Madrid), Carvajal (Real Madrid), Cesar Azpilicueta (Chelsea), Odriosola (Real Sociedad), Pique (Barcelona), Ramos (Real Madrid), Monreal (Arsenal)

Midfielders: Thiago (Bayern Munich), David Silva (Manchester City), Andres Iniesta (Barcelona), Saul (Atletico Madrid), Sergio Busquets (Barcelona), Koke (Atletico Madrid), Lucas Vazquez (Real Madrid)

Forwards: Lin Quan (Manchester City), Isco (Real Madrid), Asensio (Real Madrid), Rodrygo (Valencia), Diego Costa (Atletico Madrid)

Compared with the last World Cup, there are many less familiar faces in the World Cup roster this time.

Xavi, Alonso, Villa, Torres and others who have long since retired from the national team needless to say.

Casillas, a veteran of three dynasties and the former goalkeeper of the Bullfighting Army, was ultimately defeated and missed his fifth World Cup.

After the news broke, countless Spanish fans felt sorry for him, and some even ran to the Spanish Football Federation to protest, hoping that they would bring Casillas.

However, the final squad has been announced, and with less than a month to go before the start of the World Cup, it is unlikely that Spain will make any further changes to the squad unless the selected players suffer major injuries during the preparation phase.

Apart from Casillas, the most surprising was Alvaro Morata in the striker position.

Alvaro Morata was a favourite four years ago, and Bosque gave him the opportunity to take him with him every time he played a major match.

However, after Morata left Real Madrid last year, he moved to Chelsea, and his performance at Chelsea has declined so badly that even his playing time has been greatly reduced.

This made Bosque very disappointed in him, and after weighing the pros and cons, he finally gave up on him.

In addition to Morata, Callejon, who performed well in Serie A and even won the Serie A assist title, and Xavi Martinez, who performed well in the Bundesliga, were also not selected.

Although Hama performed well at Bayern, considering his form and injury situation, Bosque did not put him in the national team squad in the end.

It's also about protecting the players, which isn't necessarily fair to Hama.

Regarding the national team's squad, Lin Quan did not express any opinion.

If I have to say, these people are really far worse than his teammates in the last World Cup.

If it is said that in the last World Cup, the Spanish team can still be regarded as a luxury group.

In this World Cup, the Matador is at best an old broken car.

It seems that there are still a lot of stars in the team, but these people are older and their strength is no longer what they used to be.

As for the newcomers, they haven't been honed enough to compete and it's hard to say if they can play on the World Cup stage.

But even so, this Spanish team, in the pre-match predictions, is still the favorite to win the championship this year.

The reason is very simple, they have Lin Quan in the team.

It's just that football is a team game, and if you rely on one person, such a team won't go far.

……

Pep Guardiola breathed a sigh of relief after learning of Spain's 23-man squad, and then began to sigh again.

His very obvious contrast made Lin Quan feel very incomprehensible.

"Alas, Rodri lost the election!"

Under Lin Quan's questioning, Guardiola finally told the reason.

"Who?"

Hearing this name, Lin Quan didn't react at first.

"Well, it's the one we looked at before, Rodri, the defender who plays for Villarreal."

"Oh, it's him!"

Lin Quan suddenly realized that Rodri is 22 years old and was briefly selected for the national team squad at the World Cup in March.

At that time, many media speculated that the squad announced in March was likely to be the final World Cup squad.

Therefore, many people thought that Rodri might represent Spain in this year's World Cup, but the final result was unsurprisingly defeated.

Although Rodri performed well, otherwise he would not have been favored by Bosque.

But in a major tournament like the World Cup, Bosque can't trust a young midfielder, who fears that the opposition will make mistakes due to his lack of experience.

And in the position of the back midfield, once you make a mistake, you don't even have a chance to make amends.

That's why he still chooses to trust the experienced veterans, or the players who have proven themselves in the tournament.

Rodri didn't play in the European Championship two years ago and naturally doesn't belong to this category of players, so his defeat can only be said to be a normal thing.

Of course, judging from his current performance, the probability of him being selected for the national team in the European Championship in two years is very high. (End of chapter)
