Chapter 552 Defending...

Before the start of the Premier League No.30 three rounds, the ranking of the Premier League standings is like this.

Currently at the top of the list is Chelsea, which has won a wave of consecutive victories. They are far ahead with 77 points.

No.2 Manchester City and No.3 Arsenal have accumulated 70 points and 69 points respectively, and continue to catch up behind Chelsea, expecting that Chelsea will stumble.

And Manchester United, which has led for most of the season, has fallen to the fourth position. They currently have 66 points, which are the result of the recent four-game losing streak in the league.

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

Liverpool ranks sixth in the league. They have 50 points and barely keep their qualification for the Europa League.Crystal Palace, Everton, Southampton and other teams followed closely behind.

At present, the situation of the Premier League standings is very clear. There are still six rounds left in the league. Chelsea leads No.2 Manchester City by 7 points.And Manchester City and Arsenal are trying to play every game, waiting and looking forward to Chelsea convulsions.

However, these have little to do with Manchester United. They are currently 11 points away from the top Chelsea. It is very unlikely that they want to catch up with Chelsea in the last six rounds, and Kintag still has two games in the next game. The team's state is worrying; coupled with the UEFA Champions League, the chance of Manchester United's comeback is even smaller.

Despite this, Kintag is still unwilling to give up the competition for the league championship so early, the Champions League trophy and defending the Premier League, Kintag still does not give up.

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

However, the result of this match made Jin Taige completely disappointed...

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

After losing this game, Manchester United's way to defend the title is completely hopeless. With Chelsea's three points, they have already led Manchester United by as much as 14 points. With five games left, the possibility of Manchester United defending the title is already possible Neglected; not only that, Manchester City and Arsenal have also won, Kintegger's team has little hope of winning the third position; but the only thing that Kintag comforts is that Tottenham and Liverpool behind him lost one after another There is a big gap between them and Manchester United. It seems that they can only appear in the Europa League next season.

With five rounds left in the league, the situation in the Premier League standings is as follows: Chelsea is far ahead with 80 points, followed by No.2 Manchester City with 73 points, Arsenal is third with 72 points, and Manchester United is third with 66 points. After a five-game losing streak, they still rank fourth with 56 points. Behind them, Tottenham and Liverpool have 50 points and [-] points respectively. Crystal Palace, Southampton and other teams are also working hard for a European seat.

After the game, Kintag stood up slowly in the private room. Two FA officials said goodbye and left. Kintag walked out of the somewhat unfamiliar VIP room alone, walked down the steps and passages, and walked towards the stadium. The coach of the visiting team went to the bench.He knew that his assistant coach and players must be in a bad mood, and they needed their own comfort.

When Kintag came to the coaching bench of the visiting team, he was surprised to find that Mourinho was here.

It turned out that Mourinho didn't leave in a hurry, but was waiting for Jin Taige next to the coach of the visiting team.Seeing Kintag come down, Mourinho stepped forward and chatted with Kintag for a while. He was in a good mood: "Tiger, this season's league championship is mine."

Kintag shook his head helplessly: "If it weren't for Manchester United's five-game losing streak, Chelsea wouldn't have come to the top of the standings..."

Mourinho shrugged: "This is part of football, isn't it? Like you when I first arrived at Chelsea a few years ago, I was often sent to the stands, and the team's results will also fluctuate. Come on. , I look forward to your comeback next season."

Seeing Mourinho's complacent look, Kintag was a little upset. He curled his lips and smiled: "Jose, I really have no hope for the league championship. I don't deny it, but we can compete in the Champions League."

Hearing this, Mourinho's face was a little ugly.

A few days ago, in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Chelsea had just been beaten 3-0 by their opponents Barcelona. In that game, Mourinho's team was in extremely poor condition and a player was sent off. The Nou Camp stadium swallowed three goals and returned home.Now that Barcelona is in full swing, the possibility of Chelsea wanting to make a comeback in the second round is too small...

Therefore, Mourinho's haughty face suddenly darkened when he heard Jin Tage's sarcasm. He turned around and left the coaching bench of the visiting team without saying a word, and walked towards the player tunnel without even talking to Jin Tage. say goodbye.

Ferran said in a bad mood: "What a rude guy."

Although Jin Taige pissed off Mourinho and drove him away, but Jin Taige knew very well that Mourinho's desire for the Champions League was extraordinary. Hit hard.

In the post-match press conference, the winner Mourinho did not attend the conference, which made many reporters very puzzled; but Kintag was sitting on the visiting team's seat, which made all reporters' targets turn to him.

Although the game was lost, Jin Taige's face was still very calm, even though those meticulous reporters searched his face carefully, they couldn't find any signs of disappointment.

"Manchester Evening News" reporter Hall secretly sighed: Maybe before this game, the 11-point gap between the two sides has already made Kim Tagg mentally prepared, even if he wins this game, then the 8-point gap is still an insurmountable Moreover, there are Manchester City and Arsenal in front of them. It is very unlikely that all three of them will miss in the last five league games.So before this game, Kintag should have known that the possibility of defending the title this season is almost gone. Only now can he face the loss of the game so calmly.

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