Chapter 207 The league ends, the last battle!
As we enter the second week of May, the five major leagues have all entered their final battles.
The first to end is the Premier League without a winter break!
The biggest suspense in the last round of the Premier League is not in the championship battle or the relegation battle.
But it is the battle for fourth place in the Premier League!
Before the last round, the North London duo Arsenal and Tottenham had league points of 64 and 65 points respectively.
Tottenham still has a one-point lead. As long as they perform well in the last round and defeat their opponents, they will surpass Arsenal and get the last Champions League spot in the Premier League.
However, Tottenham failed to seize the opportunity. In the away game against West Ham United, Tottenham was beaten dizzy by the Hammers and finally lost the game with a score of 1:2.
In another match, Arsenal defeated Wigan Athletic 4:2 at home, successfully overtook Tottenham and got the last Champions League spot with a difference of 2 points.
It avoided the embarrassment of missing out on the Champions League next season just after setting a team record by reaching the Champions League final.
This is definitely Arsenal's most thrilling attempt to maintain their fourth place so far.
The final match of the Premier League achieved unprecedented ratings overseas.
Many fans like to watch the Premier League, mainly because there are many strong teams in the Premier League and there are often strong confrontations to watch.
Unlike the Bundesliga and La Liga, where one or two giants dominate.
It's not like Ligue 1, which is full of ordinary teams and has no star quality at all.
The Premier League at this time even feels a bit like Serie A back then.
A hundred schools of thought contend, and many heroes compete for supremacy.
Not only is the league championship full of suspense, but the annual battle for the top four is also exciting.
There is no dull moment in almost every round of the league, and fans can always find a good entry point.
After the Premier League, the Bundesliga, which has fewer teams and a shorter schedule, will follow.
On May 5, six days after the end of the Premier League, the Bundesliga also ushered in the final battle.
In the final match of the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich and Dortmund presented a goal-scoring battle to the fans. The two teams scored 6 goals and the game ended in a 3:3 draw.
In another focus battle, Werder Bremen defeated Hamburg 2:1 away and won the Northern Derby.
But they are still 5 points behind Bayern and cannot stop them from defending the title.
In the final match, Chen Tao started for Bremen and played the whole game.
In his first season with Bremen, he made 45 appearances for the team in all competitions, including 31 in the league, 4 in the cup and 8 in the Champions League.
In these games, Chen Tao scored 8 goals and completed 13 assists.
For a newcomer who has just joined the team, this data is already very dazzling.
The head coach of Werder Bremen has publicly praised Chen Tao on many occasions.
Of course, the one who was praised more by Coach Schaff was Werder Bremen’s real pillar – Klose!
In the 05-06 season, Klose made 26 league appearances, scored 25 goals and provided 14 assists, winning the Bundesliga Golden Boot and Assist King awards.
In all competitions, he played a total of 56 games, scored 40 goals and assisted 24 times, with an explosive performance.
But for a small club like Bremen, it is not a good thing for the main striker to perform so explosively.
After Klose delivered such a terrifying performance, many top clubs set their sights on this top European shooter.
Many top clubs including Arsenal, Real Madrid, Inter Milan and Bayern have expressed their willingness to sign him.
Among them, Inter Milan is the most sincere.
As the conflict between Mancini and Ade becomes public, Inter Milan now only has one genuine striker left.
It became an urgent matter to introduce a strong striker from the transfer market.
But the team most likely to kidnap the carpenter is not Inter Milan, but Bayern Munich, which is also in the Bundesliga.
Bayern has a nickname, called the Bundesliga Excavator.
As long as they like players in the Bundesliga, there is almost no player they cannot poach, and they don't even need a premium, they can buy them at a low price.
Many people think that if Klose really wants to transfer, his next club will most likely be Bayern.
Although there is little hope that Klose will join Inter Milan, Lin Feng would still be happy to see it happen if it could come true.
For a player playing in the attacking midfielder position, being able to be teammates with a striker like Klose is a great blessing in life.
Klose's playing style is not flashy, but extremely practical.
Just like Van Persie in his prime, no matter how outrageous the cross Walcott made from the wing, Van Persie always found a way to get the ball into the goal in all kinds of incredible ways.
And Klose did even better in this regard. Every part of the little carpenter's body seemed to be his offensive weapon. Whether it was head or foot, he could always use various methods to send the ball into the goal!
As his teammate, you just need to pass the ball to him from behind and leave the scoring to him. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed!
Lin Feng was just looking forward to working with Klose when Chen Tao called.
Chen Tao: "Are you serious?"
Lin Feng was confused: "What's true or false?"
Chen Tao: "Didn't you say that Inter Milan was going to bid for our striker? Is this true or false?"
Lin Feng suddenly realized: "Although the club has not come out to confirm it, I think it is almost certain. After all, we are very short of forwards right now!"
Chen Tao was anxious: "Damn it, our entire team relies on this big thigh to carry us. If he is poached by you, then we will definitely be finished next season!"
No one knows better than Chen Tao, a Werder Bremen player, what Klose means to the team.
It is no exaggeration to say that the reason why Werder Bremen has emerged as a dark horse in the Bundesliga in recent years and has entered the Champions League and the knockout stage for many consecutive years is all thanks to Klose.
Without him, Werder Bremen would immediately return to its original form and become an ordinary or even relegation team.
Seeing Chen Tao getting anxious, Lin Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry, even if Klose wants to leave, he won't come to us. If you really want to worry, you should worry about him going to Bayern, which will further widen the gap between you and the leader!"
Chen Tao was speechless for a moment. This was indeed the worst outcome.
If this is true, it would be better to let Klose go to Inter Milan.
Chen Tao: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. When will your league end? I bought two tickets for the Champions League final. Do you want to go and watch it? If not, I'll give them to Xiao Zhu!"
Chen Tao and Zhu Ting's teams are very close, and they are from the same province, so they have a very good relationship.
"Champions League tickets? Where did you buy them? They're not cheap, are they?"
Lin Feng certainly wouldn't refuse the opportunity to watch the Champions League up close.
He also wanted to know whether history would change because of the appearance of himself as a butterfly.
Chen Tao said impatiently: "I bought it through connections, don't ask how much it cost, just tell me whether you're going to see it or not, there's no need to ask so much!"
Lin Feng nodded quickly: "Go, go, go, Brother Chen gave me face, of course I have to keep it, keep the tickets for me, don't give them to anyone else!"
After the season ended, Lin Feng was going to France to shoot some commercials for his sponsors. It would be nice to watch a game together and get together with some friends.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng told Chen Tao about his thoughts. Chen Tao laughed and said, "I've thought about this a long time ago. You've been too busy recently, so I guess you haven't been checking the group chat much.
The tickets in my hand were actually bought by Cui Peng and his team. We took advantage of the end of the league to get together one last time before returning home to share our experiences and feelings about our first season abroad, and discuss plans for the next season. They are all waiting for us to give them some advice!"
After Chen Tao said this, Lin Feng immediately understood.
My teammates probably know that they won't be returning home during the holidays, so they want to take this opportunity to ask for my advice. After all, they are not familiar with the five major leagues.
Lin Feng was also happy to give advice to his teammates in the National Youth Team and help them find a good next home, so he readily agreed.
……
On May 5, La Liga, Ligue 14 and Serie A all ushered in their final battles.
The game times of La Liga and Ligue 1 are slightly earlier than those of Serie A.
In the last round of French Ligue 8, Lyon, despite having already won the championship, still defeated their opponent 1:, creating the biggest score in French Ligue this season.
Bordeaux and Lille ranked second and third respectively, and secured spots in next season's Champions League.
Fourth place is Lens, who will participate in the Europa League next season.
It's a bit of a pity for Marseille, where Cui Peng is, as they were tied 1:1 by Bordeaux away in the last round.
Although they had the same points as Lens, they finished fifth due to goal difference and missed out on European football.
Although the influence and intensity of the Europa League are not as great as those of the Champions League, the teams that can participate in the Europa League are all top teams.
If Marseille can enter the Europa League, Cui Peng will have the opportunity to experience the atmosphere of such a high-level European competition next season.
This level of game, even if you just sit on the bench and watch the game, is very helpful for the growth of young players.
Spain is adjacent to France and has a similar time zone, so La Liga and Ligue 1 end almost at the same time.
This is different from the French Ligue 1 champions who slaughtered their opponents in the last round, showing the style of a strong team.
The final match of La Liga was a bit annoying, as the two giants of La Liga, Real Madrid and Barcelona, both suffered defeat in the last round.
Real Madrid lost 3:4 to Sevilla away, and Barcelona was completely defeated 1:3 by Athletic Bilbao away.
If Barcelona's loss was reasonable as it was a way of building up their strength for the Champions League final, then Real Madrid's loss was totally unexpected.
After all, their Champions League journey has long ended, and this year's Copa del Rey has nothing to do with them. Real Madrid was even beaten 6:1 by Zaragoza in the Copa del Rey.
This season's Real Madrid has shown that there is no bottom line. There is nothing they can't do, except what you can't imagine!
Affected by the team's poor performance, Real Madrid president Florentino was defeated in the election and Calderon was elected as the new president of Real Madrid.
With Florentino's departure, the first phase of the Galacticos also came to an end.
After Calderon takes office, he is bound to purge the stars introduced by the previous president. There are even rumors that even the alien Ronaldo is on the purge list.
As for which top stars the new chairman will introduce after taking office, Kaka, Ronaldo and even Lin Feng are also on the rumored list.
Although the final list has not yet been determined, Madrid is destined to be extremely busy this summer.
…………
Lin Feng didn't have the energy to pay attention to the rumors from the outside world, so the transfer matter would naturally have to wait until the transfer window opened.
Now, he just wants to put all his energy into the last game.
In the last round of the league, Inter Milan's opponent is Cagliari, who is fifth from the bottom in the league.
With the relegation list confirmed one round in advance, Cagliari also successfully landed.
This made them lose the fighting spirit they had when they were fighting to avoid relegation.
But the lack of pressure also means that the players are more courageous. Even if their opponent is Inter Milan, the number one favorite to win the championship, they are not afraid at all.
At the Sant'Elia Stadium, the home team did not squat on the defensive, but instead prepared to attack Inter Milan.
This is different from the opponent's style of play, which is to let go of the burden and play without any scruples.
Inter Milan's players seemed to have a heavy burden on their shoulders and they played very restrainedly.
Although Mancini repeatedly emphasized in the locker room before the game that the players should not be nervous.
But when the game really started, the players couldn't help but start to get nervous.
There is no way, after all, this is the closest they have been to the championship in 17 years!
The players carried a heavy psychological burden, fearing that their mistakes would cause the team to lose, thus making the championship a bubble.
However, the more you fear something, the more likely it will come!
In the 8th minute, the home team launched an attack from the wing.
Esposito made a cross from the right, and Capone got rid of the defender in the penalty area and headed the ball into the goal from close range.
Cesar had no way to deal with this close-range header, and Inter fell behind after only 8 minutes of the game!
The home team fans at the scene were all going crazy with joy, and the Juventus fans who were watching the game were also going crazy with joy.
Only countless Inter Milan fans around the world remained silent!
Damn, how did the team become like this?
Do you know how to play football?
This goal seemed to wake up Inter Milan, and their form began to recover.
In the 11th minute, Lin Feng made a short pass, and Cruz was brought down by the defender when he was about to break through, and Inter Milan got a free kick opportunity in a good position.
Lin Feng took the shot personally. He took a deep breath and kicked a curved ball. The ball was blocked by a defensive player while flying, but he failed to block the ball. Instead, it was refracted in front of the goal, causing the well-prepared goalkeeper to sprain his waist.
The ball refracted and flew into the lower left corner, and the score became 1-1.
Inter Milan equalized the score at lightning speed, and both sides returned to the same starting line!
Inter Milan fans all over the world breathed a sigh of relief and then began to touch their chests. These three minutes of drama were a bit too exciting and made their hearts ache.
But after the goal, Inter Milan returned to their old ways at the start of the game, wanting to win but afraid of losing, looking ahead and behind, and playing in a mess.
The fans are all numb, can you please be a little more normal?
At this time, news came from another match that started at the same time:
Juventus 1:0 Reggina, the goal was scored by Nedved.
"Juventus scored!"
Cagliari fans were obviously also paying attention to the score on the other side. After learning that Juventus had scored a goal, they began to shout loudly towards the stadium.
The Inter Milan players who were playing on the field were indeed affected by the shouting from the stands and were eager to attack.
However, he was unexpectedly ambushed by his opponent and won another victory!
In the 33rd minute, Esposito made a cross from the right, Cordoba made a defensive mistake and let the ball go, Suaso pushed the ball into the net from 1 meter in front of the goal, and Cagliari led again 2-1.
The fans and players of the home team were so excited that they were leading again!
But after conceding the goal again, Inter seemed to be able to play football again.
In the 37th minute, Lin Feng and Figo made a series of wall passes. The latter broke through two defenders and shot into the net with his left foot from the penalty area line.
The score became 2-2, and Inter Milan equalized the score again at the speed of light!
The fans of both teams in the stands were all numb!
Tired, destroy it!
