Chapter 143 The Belonging of the League Champion

On May 5, the penultimate round of the Premier League arrived.

Liverpool will go away to challenge relegated West Bromwich Albion, while Manchester United will face Arsenal at home.

This round is basically the round that decides the championship, mainly the match between Manchester United and Arsenal. Even though the season tasks have been completed, Arsenal has finally become the focus.

The game between Manchester United and Arsenal is the first game of this round. The Liverpool game will not start until the next day. The Liverpool team will gather again to watch the Manchester United game.

This focused match was boring, but Ferguson played steadily at home as the media said, giving priority to defense. Arsenal could not break through Manchester United's defense, and Manchester United failed to seize the opportunity to score a goal.

This made everyone in Liverpool and all Liverpool fans feel like they were hanging on their hearts. It seemed that Arsenal could have a chance to score at any time, but they couldn't score for a long time. The game time passed by like this, and the score never changed.

But when the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the score remained unchanged. Manchester United and Arsenal drew 0:0 at home. Ferguson really scored 1 point at home. This 1 point is likely to be the 1 point to decide the championship.

Wenger also said happily after the game: "We failed to beat Manchester United, but we at least allowed them to score only 1 point. As long as Liverpool wins this round, the last round will be the one that determines the championship. Anything can happen."

Wenger, you are so proud, if you beat Manchester United, Liverpool will definitely give you a living ** pennant, but now although Manchester United only scored 1 point, Liverpool can catch up with Manchester United by only 1 point, but if you want Manchester United to have problems in the last round, the possibility is too small.

On the afternoon of May 5th, Liverpool went away to challenge West Bromwich Albion.

At the Hawthorns Stadium, Liverpool's firepower was fully fired. Although the Thrushes had been relegated, they still strictly guarded against trying to cause some trouble for Liverpool.

In the 41st minute, only Liu Ting assisted Gerrard to open the scoring for Liverpool.

Liu Ting scored his 15th assist of the season and Gerrard scored his 16th league goal of the season.

In the second half, Torres and Didier scored goals successively, Liverpool sealed the victory, and West Bromwich Albion only scored a goal to save face before the end of the game.

利物浦客场3:1击败了西布罗姆维奇，在积分榜上以25胜11平1负积86分排在第2位，榜首的曼联是27胜6平4负积87分，利物浦还是落后于曼联1分，联赛还有最后一轮要打，最后一轮什么可能都有可能发生。

Theoretically speaking, as long as Manchester United fails to win and Liverpool wins in the final round, then Liverpool can overtake Manchester United to win the championship.

But this is only in theory. Manchester United's last opponent is Hull City, which has successfully relegated, and Liverpool's opponent is Tottenham Hotspur. Speaking of which, it is more likely that Liverpool will capsize.

Torres scored a goal in this game, and Chelsea's Anelka also scored a goal. Torres ranked first in the scorer list with 19 goals. Behind him are Anelka and Ronaldo. Both of them scored 18 goals. The last round also involved the competition for the Premier League Golden Boot this season.

There is no suspense about the assist king. Liu Ting's 15 assists are undisputed. Lampard and Van Persie, who are currently second in the assist list, both have 10 assists. It is impossible to catch up in the last round.

The media has another object of hype. Analyzing the ownership of the championship has become the topic that media reporters are most willing to talk about in the past two days. This topic has been discussed everywhere from newspapers to TV stations. At the same time, the ownership of the Premier League Golden Boot is also indispensable.

In addition to Torres competing with Anelka and Ronaldo, Gerrard also has a chance to compete for the Premier League Golden Boot. Gerrard currently has 16 league goals, only 3 goals away from Torres. Gerrard scored 4 goals in the last round. It is also possible to win the Premier League Golden Boot, of course, this possibility is very small.

Liu Ting currently only has 14 league goals and has no chance to compete for the Premier League Golden Boot.

Also this weekend, Barcelona won the La Liga championship this season ahead of schedule, and has already won two championships. Everyone is paying attention to them and analyzing whether they can beat Liverpool in the Champions League final to win the Triple Crown.

※※※

A week later, on May 5, the final round of the Premier League came.

All games in the final round started at the same time, with Liverpool hosting Tottenham and Manchester United traveling to Hull City.

There are slogans of 'Championship' everywhere in Anfield Stadium. Although there is little hope, the fans still hope for a miracle, just like when Manchester United was tied by the Hammers in the last round and gave the championship to Blackburn.

Liverpool launched an offensive at the beginning, fully demonstrating their determination to win the opponent at home.

In the 21st minute, Liu Ting and Gareth Bale entered the Tottenham penalty area with consecutive two-on-one cooperation from the left. They passed the Tottenham captain Ledley King and scored the ball. Liu Ting helped Liverpool take the lead.

This is Liu Ting's 15th league goal, completing the task of double 15 goals and assists in a season.

There was another burst of 'TNT... TNT! ' shouts.

In the 34th minute, Gerrard broke through with the ball and was tripped in the Tottenham penalty area. Liverpool won a penalty. Gerrard took the initiative to give the penalty to Torres to take the penalty, adding fire to Torres' competition for the league golden boot.

Torres scored a penalty overnight, Liverpool led Tottenham 2-0, and Torres also raised his league goals to 20.

The 2-0 lead in the first half made Liverpool fans very happy. Torres also scored a goal and hoped to win the league golden boot. The most important thing is the news from Manchester United that Manchester United has not been able to break the deadlock in the away game. This is the happiest thing for Liverpool fans.

After falling behind by two goals in the first half, most of the Tottenham players planned to just let the game go. Tottenham are currently in a small position and can no longer snipe their opponents, so there is nothing to fight for.

At the last moment of the first half, Anfield remembered the boos all over the field. Liu Ting knew that Manchester United must have scored. Now there is nothing on the field at Anfield worthy of boos from Liverpool fans.

really.The Liverpool team knew at half-time that Manchester United scored a goal at the end of the first half to take the lead.

In the second half, both Liverpool and Tottenham played listlessly, but Robbie Keane, who was sold back to Liverpool half a year ago, was in good condition and wanted to prove himself at Anfield.

Keane scored a goal in the 76th minute, which was regarded as a revenge at Anfield. Soon Coolett also scored a goal in the 81st minute. Liverpool defeated Tottenham 3:1 at home. At the end of the game, everyone was not happy, because Manchester United defeated Hull City 1:0 and took the championship away firmly.

The replica of the league championship trophy that was brought to Anfield before the FA Championship game was also taken away. It was originally brought here and would be temporarily awarded as a trophy if Liverpool won the championship, and then exchanged for the real trophy later.In this round, the real trophy was of course sent to Manchester United. After all, Manchester United ranked ahead of Liverpool in the standings.

The only consolation is that Torres won the Premier League Golden Boot with 20 goals. Ronaldo did not score this time, Anelka scored one goal, but Torres still lost one goal.

Liu Ting also won the assists title with 15 assists. In his first season in the Premier League, Liu Ting scored 15 goals and 15 assists, a very good report card.

With the league title gone, Liverpool are left with only one final Champions League title in contention.
