Chapter 92, Ferguson breaks the defense
This season's Champions League belongs to the Bundesliga.
Bayern Munich eliminated Barcelona 7-3 on aggregate and met Borussia Dortmund in the final.
Germans are shouting that the era of belonging to the Bundesliga is coming – but this is actually the self-congratulatory of the German media.
Because everybody knows.
Borussia Dortmund, who reached the Champions League final this season, are unlikely to retain their core squad.
First of all, the size of their club is here.
Secondly, the management of this team is also selling players as a means of profit, and as long as the price is right, Dortmund will be torn apart next season.
And for Ye Luo.
He is no longer focused on this season's Champions League.
The Premier League is in its final stages.
For Arsenal.
They now only have the Premier League title left to fight for.
If they end up lifting the Premier League trophy.
Then this season ended up winning the League Cup and the Premier League.
It's been a pretty good season for Arsenal.
Arsenal's opponents in the next round of the league.
It's at home against Wigan Athletic.
This is the 37th round of the league.
Meantime.
It is also the match point of the league: if Arsenal wins this game, Manchester United draws or loses, and Arsenal draws and Manchester United loses, then Arsenal can win the Premier League one round earlier!
However, even Arsenal and Manchester United won at the same time in this round.
Arsenal are all but sealed for the title – they are now three points ahead of Manchester United and fifteen on goal difference.
Let's assume that the lead on goal difference is still fifteen in the final round.
Then Manchester United does have a theoretical possibility of winning the championship - for example, Arsenal lose 0-8 in the final round, and Manchester United win him 8-0 to win the championship!
Although the probability is very small.
But as long as it exists in theory.
Then the FA would not have been able to give Arsenal Premier League champions Jiangbei at the Emirates Stadium in this situation.
For Arsenal fans, it has to be said that it is a pity.
Because in the last round of the league they are going to play Stoke City away.
In general.
The awards are presented at the home stadium of the winning team.
So.
If Arsenal don't win the title until the final round.
Then they will have to choose another time, in their own home stadium, to lift the Premier League trophy.
If you can.
Arsenal fans will certainly want to get their hands on the trophy as soon as possible.
However, the opponent in the 37th round is not an ordinary opponent.
Wigan Athletic are now 17th in the Premier League table, with 35 points, three points behind Newcastle and in the relegation zone.
There is nothing special about such a team.
It's nothing more than a downstream team eager for relegation, a league lift.
However.
Just before the start of the 37th round of the league.
Wigan Athletic, who reached the FA Cup final, beat Manchester City 1-0 at Wembley Stadium when almost everyone thought they would be beaten by final opponents Manchester City, and staged the myth of David beating Goliath and lifting the first major trophy in the club's history.
This is undoubtedly the biggest stimulus for Wigan Athletic.
Even, if Atletico Wigan succeeds in relegation.
Their head coach, Spaniard Roberto Robert. Martinez could even be selected as a candidate for Manager of the Season.
Even if this game is played at home, it is not so easy to play.
Before the game.
The media is buzzing about this game.
Before the FA Cup final.
No one would be pinning their hopes on something as fantasy as Wigan Athletic's win over Arsenal away from home.
But Wigan Athletic's FA Cup triumph has given many Manchester United fans excitement and confidence.
Many media outlets in Manchester were still angry about Manchester City's loss to Wigan Athletic a week ago, and Mancini had to be sacked – in fact, there are rumours that Malaga manager Manlegrini will be in charge next season.
And a week later.
These media outlets have started to say good things about Wigan Athletic.
It is believed that as long as they show their fighting spirit and spirit in the FA Cup final, they will be able to successfully avoid relegation.
Of course.
By the way, you can help Manchester United stop Arsenal.
Even if.
Even if Arsenal lose this game, they will most likely still be champions if they win the last round of the league.
But isn't there any theoretical hope that Manchester United will win the title?
Don't think that Manchester's media is schizophrenic, one moment for Manchester City, the other for Manchester United.
Because this is England, not Spain.
It is rare for the media to have such an absolute stance as the mouthpiece of Spain.
There will only be a certain geographical identity – for example, the Manchester media will usually support teams in the Manchester area.
Of course, sometimes it's Manchester City, sometimes it's Manchester United – it depends on whether the contributor is a Manchester United or a Manchester City fan.
Originally, Arsenal's game was played a day earlier.
But for the FA Cup match was postponed by a day.
So.
It was played at the same time as Manchester United's home game against Swansea City.
In order to create suspense.
The Premier League also specially arranged these two matches to be played at the same time - the 37th round of the league does not need all matches to start at the same time, so the Premier League official arrangement. Purely for topicality and traffic.
League match points.
Two teams that still have a theoretical chance of winning the championship start at the same time!
The topic is full of yes.
At the pre-match press conference.
The most common question Ferguson was asked was: "Do you think Manchester United still have a chance of winning the title?" ”
These reporters are knowingly asking.
Because everybody knows.
Manchester United's hopes of winning the title are slim.
It's unlikely that Arsenal will drop points in two games in a row.
But Ferguson is still Ferguson.
A reporter from the Daily Mail stood up and asked him.
"Mr. Alex Ferguson, before this game, an agency calculated the probability of winning the Premier League this season, and the result is that Manchester United only have a 2% chance of winning the title, while Arsenal have a 98% chance of winning the title, what do you think about that?"
"I'm not going to do probabilities or anything like that. How about you ask them to do the math again before the start of next season, and then we'll award them according to the results? ”
Ferguson replied unceremoniously.
'But Manchester United do have little hope right now'
'We just need to play the last two games.'
"And then?"
Ferguson glanced at the reporter.
Get up directly.
"And then? And then how do I know, even if we're not the champions of the season. ”
"We have 12 Premier League titles!"
"Twelve!"
Ferguson left the venue in a rage.
The reporters present looked at each other.
Frankly.
It was the first time they had seen Ferguson so out of shape at a press conference.
