Chapter 550： Defending ...

Prior to the start of the 33rd round of the Premier League, the Premier League standings were like this.

At the top of the list is Chelsea, which has won a streak, and they are far ahead with 77 points.

The second place Manchester City and the third place Arsenal scored 70 points and 69 points respectively, and continue to catch up behind Chelsea, looking forward to Chelsea will follow suit.

And Manchester United, who has led more than half of the season, has fallen to the fourth position. They currently have 66 points, which is the result of the recent four-game losing streak in the league.

Ranked fifth in the league is Tottenham, who currently have 56 points. Pochettino's team is still running this season and the results are very unstable.

Liverpool ranked sixth in the league. They scored 50 points and barely maintained their qualification for the UEFA Cup. Crystal Palace, Everton, Southampton and other teams followed.

At present, the situation in the Premier League standings is very clear. There are still six rounds in the league. Chelsea is 7 points ahead of second place Manchester City. Manchester City and Arsenal are struggling to play every game, waiting for Chelsea to draw the wind.

However, these have little to do with Manchester United. They are still 11 points away from Chelsea at the top of the list. It is very unlikely that they will catch Chelsea in the last six rounds, and there are still two suspensions in the next game. The state of the team is worrying; coupled with the Champions League events, the chances of Manchester United's comeback are even smaller.

Despite this, Gintag is still reluctant to give up the fight for the league title so early, the Champions League trophy and defending the Premier League, Gintag still does not give up.

Because this game is stuck in the middle of the two Champions Leagues, three games in seven days, and it is an important event of this level, there is no doubt about the test of Manchester United. But considering that this game is a direct dialogue with top Chelsea, Jintaige did not send a large area of ​​substitutes, he just rotated the individual positions of the starting lineup.

However, the result of this game disappointed Gentag ...

1 to 2, Manchester United defeated Stamford Bridge and sadly returned empty-handed.

After losing this game, Manchester United's road to defending is completely hopeless. Chelsea have three points and they have led Manchester United by as much as 14 points. With five games remaining, the possibility of Manchester United's defending is already possible. Ignore it; not only that, Manchester City and Arsenal also won, but Kintag's team hoped for the third place, but the only thing that made Jintag talk was that Spurs and Liverpool behind them Losing, they have a big gap with Manchester United. It seems that they can only appear in the UEFA Cup next season.

With five rounds left in the league, the situation in the Premier League is as follows: Chelsea leads by 80 points, followed by Manchester City with 73 points, Arsenal ranked third with 72 points, Manchester United After the five-game losing streak, they still ranked fourth with 66 points. Tottenham and Liverpool behind them scored 56 points and 50 points, while the Crystal Palace and Southampton and other teams are also working for a European war seat.

After the game, Jin Taige slowly stood up in the private room, two FA officials quit, Jin Taige walked down the unfamiliar VIP private room, walked down the stadium along the steps and the channel, and walked towards The visiting team coach walked. He knew his assistant coaches and players must be in a bad mood, and they needed their comfort.

When Gentag came to the visiting coach's seat, he was surprised to find that Mourinho was actually here.

It turned out that Mourinho just didn't leave in a hurry, but waited for Jin Taige next to the visiting coach. Seeing that Kintag was down, Mourinho stepped forward to chat with Kintag for a while, and he was in a good mood: "Tiger, this season's league title is mine."

Gintag shook his head helplessly: "If it were not for Manchester United's five-game losing streak, Chelsea would not have come to the top of the standings ..."

Mourinho shrugged: "This is part of football, isn't it? Like when I first arrived at Chelsea a few years ago, and like you, I was often punished in the stands, and the team's results will be volatile. Come on , I'm waiting for you to make a comeback next season. "

Looking at Mourinho's pride, Gintag was a little bit upset, and he gave a grin: "Jose, I don't really have hope for the championship, I don't deny it, but we can compete in the Champions League."

Hearing this, Mourinho looked a little ugly.

A few days ago, in the UEFA Champions League quarter-final, Chelsea had just been beaten 3-0 by opponent Barcelona. Mourinho's team was very poor in that game and was sent off a player. Camp Nou scored three goals and returned. Now that Barcelona is in a good state, it is too small for Chelsea to want to make a comeback in the second round ...

So when I heard Jin Taige's taunting words, UU read the book Mourinho's arrogant face suddenly dimmed. He did not speak, left the visiting team coach seat and walked towards the player channel. , Did not even say goodbye to Jin Taige.

Ferran said unhappyly: "What a rude guy."

Although Gintag took a word of Mourinho and gave him away, Gintag knew very well that Mourinho's desire for the Champions League was extraordinary. This season he returned from hatred in the European arena. For his The blow was great.

At the press conference after the match, the winner Mourinho did not attend the conference, which made many reporters very puzzled; but sitting on the visiting team seat Jintaige, which made all reporters' goals turned to him.

Although the game was lost, Jin Taige's face was still very calm, and even those careful reporters searched carefully on his face and could not find any marks of disappointment.

"Manchester Evening News" reporter Hall secretly sighed: Maybe before the game, the 11-point gap between the two sides has made Jin Taige mentally prepared, even if the game is won, then the 8-point gap is insurmountable In addition, there are Manchester City and Arsenal in front of them. It is extremely unlikely that all three teams will fail in the last five league games. So before this game, Jintaige should already know that there is almost no possibility of defending this season, and he can now face the loss of the game so calmly.

Facing the eyes of reporters looking forward, Jin Taige spoke first, his words were very frank: "We lost this game, there is nothing to say, our road to defending is over, Manchester United's goal this season is still three Champion, we will continue to win the other fronts! "
