Chapter 315: Manchester United gives a big gift and wins the league five rounds in advance!

Leon's reply to correct Sky Sports Italy's claims sounded like a humble act at first glance.

But in fact, from the very beginning of the professional game, whether it was at Real Madrid, Milan or now Chelsea.

Li Ang gave the same reply when faced with similar murderous rhetoric from reporters.

He really doesn't think there is anything to do in football, the media can be touted like this, and the fans can exaggerate their love for a certain star.

But as a professional, if you think about it that way, it's a fucking and sad thing for his teammates.

Without teamwork, there is no football.

Similarly, without the help of his teammates and the sacrifice on the field, even the most powerful star will only get lost in the unbridled tactical targeting of his opponents.

So Leon really doesn't like to have reporters ask this kind of foolish question in person.

In his mind, team wins always come first, and he always respects his teammates.

After briefly dealing with the questions of the other two reporters, Li Ang lost the interest of continuing to be interviewed, and directly interrupted the other reporters' questions.

After hugging and celebrating with his teammates, Leon strode towards the Juventus half.

"Alvaro, you did a great job today."

"Boss."

Leon opened his arms and gave Morata a big hug.

The two of them hadn't seen each other in a long time.

Morata, who did not get the main position in Real Madrid, finally chose to leave La Liga and came to Juventus.

Li Ang also had to sigh that the inertia of "history" still exists.

However, compared to the Morata he remembers playing in the rotation at Juventus.

Today, Morata has perfected his central striker arsenal early on at Real Madrid, and is now one of Juventus' main strikers.

After all, it is a talented centre-forward in the rotation of Real Madrid's main strikers.

He has already reaped a lot of accolades at a young age, and he has already proven his ability on the top stage of La Liga and the Champions League.

If Juventus doesn't promise the main team, then Morata may not come to Serie A.

Now, with 17 league goals in his debut season in Serie A, Morata is on his feet.

Leon was sincerely happy for his little brother.

If nothing is done, Alvaro Morata should be able to steadily establish himself as one of the top centre-forwards in football in the coming seasons.

The two also talked happily in the stadium, and finally the brothers exchanged jerseys and hugged goodbye.

Leon then trotted bare-chested to Andrea Pirlo, who had just exchanged shirts with Kroos.

"Master!"

"Lion cubs."

It has been almost two years since the pair met in pre-season friendlies in the season when Leon moved to Chelsea, and the pair have only seen each other for the second time.

Leon was very happy, and Pirlo was even more relieved when he was happy.

I can see that the juniors who taught at the beginning did not forget their original intentions, fought bravely on the professional field, and were about to represent the midfielders to hit the pinnacle of football again.

For veterans like them, who are entering the end of their careers, it is really enough to masturbate and be proud.

The old era of football has passed, but in the new era, there are still the inheritance disciples of these old guys.

Putting aside the national team's results, if Li Ang can really lead the team to the Champions League as the absolute core and team boss this season, then he will definitely win the Ballon d'Or at the beginning of next year!

This individual achievement has surpassed Alonso and Pirlo, and has caught up with Zinedine Zidane, who represented the midfielder in football at the time.

To put it mildly, becoming one of the background boards on the road to Li Ang's godhood, Pirlo actually doesn't mind.

His career has been very successful, he has won all kinds of championship honors, and he has tasted both failure and success very full.

The top three clubs in Serie A have a record of playing, winning league titles, Champions League titles and even World Cup titles.

Pillo thinks he has nothing to regret in the professional arena.

Even after losing to Spain in the final of the European Championship in 12 years, he doesn't feel too many regrets now.

He led the slightly mediocre Italy team all the way to the final, taking out the German tank against the Matadors, who were still in their prime.

This is already a miracle in itself.

He was able to become the heart of a Champions League powerhouse at the end of his career, and of course he wants to push for another Champions League trophy.

But if he encounters Chelsea's obstacle in advance, if he really can't win, he naturally hopes that Chelsea and Leon can be the final winners.

At the very least, they just lost to the strongest European team of the season......

The two tacitly understood in the field and did not talk about the next round of the game.

They are just concerned about the state of each other's lives in the near future.

By the way, I reminisce about the time when we played together in Milan.

After a while, Ibu also walked over, and the three of them gathered together and covered their mouths with a smile to communicate.

This scene of reunion of old friends, which should have been happy, made many Milan fans feel sad.

On a well-known football forum in Huaguo, as soon as this photo of the three Milan brothers was edited and posted, the fans who left a message below swiped the post and left a message:

"Protect Milan!"

"The Milan Conservation Society has sent a condemnation!"

"Milan fans can't see that."

"Who said there was no Milan in the Champions League, don't you think it's all Milan players? Hahahahaha! ”

"There's another crazy one upstairs, carry it away."

……

After the game, it seemed that only friendliness and warmth remained in the Juventus Arena.

However, Leon and Ibrahimovic were not able to spend more than one night in Italy, having dinner with their old teammates and catching up.

This side has just played the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, and then the pressure of the league comes, whether it is the Premier League or Serie A.

The whole Chelsea squad flew back to London overnight after the Champions League fixture.

The 33rd round of the Premier League kicks off on 18 April and Chelsea face Crystal Palace, one of their neighbours in the London region.

At present, Crystal Palace has no relegation pressure, and their relegation points have been almost gone.

So against Chelsea, Crystal Palace shouldn't be too desperate.

But in any case, they still managed to beat Manchester City's ruthless characters in the last round of the league.

Chelsea's players don't want to overturn in the final moments of the season and force a title suspense.

So during the build-up to London after returning to London, the whole Chelsea squad was very cautious.

Manchester City, on the other hand, are preparing to play Manchester United's second derby of the season.

Since entering the second half of the league, Manchester United has also been chasing points all the way, Van Gaal used a peculiar big circle tactic to overcome strong opponents, and won the double red club and the key battle with Arsenal in succession.

There is no problem with Manchester City's tactical strength these days, but the mentality of the players is not particularly consistent.

At this juncture, when you meet Manchester United, who has a hand in playing a strong team, the result is really hard to say.

If Chelsea are lucky, they could win over Crystal Palace in this round and wait for the outcome of Manchester City's defeat.

Then Chelsea will end the suspense of this season's Premier League title five rounds ahead of schedule and successfully defend the Premier League title!

This kind of result is still very likely.

Chelsea fans have become loyal Red Devils fans straight ahead of this league game.

No joke, that's more devout than a real Manchester United fan who wants Manchester United to win.

Fortunately, United have their own reasons to beat Manchester City.

The Red Devils have now finished fifth in the Premier League after finishing in the second half of the season and will have to earn points in their final six league games if they are to return to the Champions League next season.

After all, Tottenham, who are one place ahead of them, are four points ahead of them, and Liverpool, who are one place behind them, are only two points behind them.

The final stage of the season in the race for the top four was undoubtedly brutal and Louis van Gaal had to fight for his position as well.

There is no reason for United to step back and let the water go unchecked, which is very reassuring to Chelsea supporters.

And England's major sports media are ready to witness Chelsea's successful defense of the league title.

The three days of preparation time passed quickly.

On the afternoon of 18 April, Chelsea and Manchester City were both at home to their respective crucial opponents.

The game starts at the same time, so the players of both teams can devote themselves to their respective battles without distractions and will not be disturbed by outside information during the game.

But for the fans, this kind of crucial match that starts at the same time is undoubtedly very exciting.

Interestingly, the majority of Chelsea fans today will be prioritising the Manchester derby, while the majority of Manchester City fans will also be prioritising Stamford Bridge.

At 15:00 in the afternoon of the same day, the two games that attracted the attention of almost all Premier League fans started on time at the same time!

On Chelsea's side, Jose Mourinho only rotated Ibrahimovic and John Terry, and almost started the game against Crystal Palace.

Manchester City are the complete main attack, and they are going to compete with Manchester United.

Jose Mourinho is also a rare player who has adopted the same tactical strategy as Pep Guardiola in the same league round.

From the beginning of the game, Chelsea, who had a 433 starting formation, was full of firepower and beat Crystal Palace on all fronts!

Chelsea weren't afraid of Zaha's explosives and penetrated their own defence on the counter-attack.

Cesar Azpilicueta will be keeping an eye on the king of the ball this game.

Callas, who started today alongside Thiago Silva, will also be putting more defensive attention on the Crystal Palace winger.

Both Chelsea defenders are strong in one-on-one defence.

Jose Mourinho has already made tactical targets, and Chelsea's attacking players naturally have confidence in their hearts.

Leon is on the cards today, to keep Hazard directly bursting through the right side of the Crystal Palace defence.

Bertrand also responded, ready to pull the edge down at any time.

Chelsea play on the left, and the Palace players and coaches know that, but they just can't keep it!

Eden Hazard and Bertrand's attacking combination on the left is already invincible in the Premier League and is also at the top level in the Champions League.

For now, the attacking threat may be inferior to Real Madrid's left wing.

The attacking combination of Neymar and Alba on the wing is no less impressive.

Crystal Palace's right-back Mariapa only endured five or six minutes of the opening period before he had no choice but to seek support from his team-mates.

The right forward Pang Qiong followed the retreat to help defend, but he was still suddenly unable to find the north by Hazard!

In the 10th minute of the first half, Palace's right side of the fence almost collapsed.

Eden Hazard and Bertrand had their backs sloped towards their right flank.

In the 14th minute of the first half, Eden Hazard once again got rid of the defensive interference of Crystal Palace's right midfielder Pang Qiong.

Bertrand had already pulled the side down at this time, Mariapa followed back to defend, but Leon suddenly raised his hand to ask for the ball.

Hazard, who was thinking about cutting inside and inserting into the rib area in front of the Crystal Palace penalty area, didn't think much about it, and directly passed the ball back to Leon.

And Li Ang also made a decisive long pass in the next moment, sending the football diagonal to the left side of the Crystal Palace half!

Previously, because the overall defensive line was tilted to the right, Crystal Palace's left defensive strength at this time was relatively thin.

De Bruyne, who was plugged in at the back, unloaded the ball almost undisturbed.

When the Crystal Palace backline was in turmoil, he delivered a cool cross!

Leon's back-to-back cut left the Palace defenders distracted from the back of their own box.

It was at this moment that Drogba stepped up from the middle of the penalty area and almost "crashed" De Bruyne's cross into the Crystal Palace goal with his inner thigh!

Didier Drogba, who opened the scoring for his side, was delighted and the Ivory Coast centre-forward beckoned his team-mates to join him in the corner flag area.

Then he led the way with a very classic slide to celebrate!

Leon followed up and threw Drogba to the ground, and the Chelsea players on the pitch swarmed up!

And on the sidelines, Chelsea's bench was also thunderous, Mourinho and Holland hugged each other firmly!

It was just the beginning, it opened up the game for the whole Chelsea team, but it was a terrible disaster for the Crystal Palace players!

Crystal Palace's counter-attack today was not good, and the back was more and more open, and they also tried to press forward and look for more attacking opportunities.

However, in the 31st and 39th minutes of the first half, it was Chelsea who seized the opportunity again and went down two more times!

Chelsea, who scored three goals in the half, almost ended the suspense of the game.

On the other hand, Manchester United and Manchester City were suspended for 45 minutes of play and had to wait until the second half to decide the winner.

Chelsea's players had no intention of scoring more goals on Crystal Palace, and the second half was dominated by possession.

Romelu Lukaku came off the bench to score Chelsea's fourth goal of the game in the 74th minute of the second half with a through assist from Leon.

It was also the last goal of the game.

The king wanted to help Palace save some face, but unfortunately with Azpilicueta and Kalas taking turns to defence, he didn't have much of a threat today.

There were only two minutes of stoppage time, and after the stoppage time, the referee on duty also blew the whistle for the end of the game.

However, instead of celebrating the victory in the first place, the Chelsea players rushed to the dugout to ask the coaching staff about the outcome of the Manchester derby on the other side.

"There are two minutes left."

Holland, who received stoppage time information on the other side, was equally nervous to convey the news to the players.

At this time, the score between Manchester United and Manchester City was still 0-0.

Leon clasped his hands and stood on the edge of the crowd.

He is actually not calm at this time.

"There are two minutes left, Manchester United, you have to hold on! Don't be killed by Aguero then......"

Lukaku rubbed his hands together and muttered nervously.

But immediately after, he received a "friendly" slap from his teammates.

Leon smiled and continued to count the time silently in his mind.

And just when he had just counted to one minute and thirty-seven seconds, Holland looked at his phone in advance and roared!

"It's over! The game is over for them! 0-0! We've won!! ”

The Chelsea players gathered around the dugout exploded at this moment, and then burst out laughing and rushed to the pitch!

As if receiving a signal, the entire Stamford Bridge stadium also vibrated and carnivaled at this time!

The Chelsea fans at the scene of the small 40,000 let out a wave of cheers.

Li Ang did not rush into the field to carnival like his teammates, but ran to Mu Shuai for the first time and hugged and celebrated with Mu Shuai!

Another year of early victory!

They already have the foundation to build a dynasty, just like Manchester United once did!

The league title defense has arrived, and the new treble dynasty of the Premier League will surely be dubbed the iron-blooded Blues next season!
