Chapter 144 Before the Finals
The Premier League season is all over, and the standings are finally fixed.

曼联以28胜6平4负积90分夺得本赛季的联赛冠军，利物浦以26胜11平1负89分，一分之差屈居亚军，切尔西83分第三，阿森纳72分第四，英超的四大豪门继续包揽下赛季的欧冠资格。

Next are Everton, Aston Villa and Fulham. These three teams will represent the Premier League in the Europa League next season.

The three teams that were relegated were Newcastle United, Middlesbrough and West Bromwich Albion.

Although Middlesbrough was relegated, the fans of Middlesbrough entertained themselves by saying "we are the only team that can beat Liverpool in the league" in the last round. Liverpool only lost one game in the league this season, which was an away loss to Middlesbrough.

At the same time, Manchester United also won the English League Cup this season, and Chelsea won the FA Cup. Speaking of which, among the four giants, Liverpool and Arsenal have not gained anything in the domestic league, but Liverpool still have a chance to compete for the Champions League.

But if the Champions League final is also lost, then Liverpool will be the double king of the Champions League, which is definitely not a good title.

There is no doubt that Liverpool has become the team with the fewest losses in the league this season, losing only one game. The second least conceded team is Manchester United. They lost four games. Unfortunately, Liverpool lost the championship with too many draws.

In the civil war among the Premier League's four giants this season, Manchester United and the other three giants only scored 5 points in six games, slightly better than Chelsea, which only scored 4 points.

Among the offensive firepower of all teams in the Premier League, Liverpool is also far ahead. Liverpool scored 38 goals in 85 league rounds. Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal both scored 68 goals.In terms of goal difference, Liverpool ranked first with 24 goals, Manchester United and Chelsea both tied for second with 27 goals difference.

Liverpool have only lost 3 games so far this season, losing one game to Middlesbrough in the league, being eliminated by Tottenham 3:4 away in the English League Cup, and being eliminated by Aston Villa in the FA Cup penalty shootout. Liverpool only lost these three games in total.

This season Liverpool does not count the upcoming Champions League final. Liverpool has participated in a total of 57 games and only lost 3 games. It is undoubtedly the team with the least losses in Europe.

In terms of individual player honors, Liverpool's Torres won the Premier League Golden Boot with 20 goals. Behind him, Chelsea's Anelka scored 19 goals and Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo scored 18 goals. Gerrard ranked fourth with 16 goals, Liu Ting ranked fifth with 15 goals.

Liverpool has four of the top ten scorers, and three of the top five. Liu Ting, Torres, Dirk, and Gerrard have scored 62 goals for Liverpool, accounting for 73% of all Liverpool's league goals.

In the assists list, Liu Ting won the assists title with 15 assists. Apart from Liu Ting, only Lampard and Van Persie had 10 assists.

Liu Ting also became the first player to get double 15 in the first season of the Premier League.

Liu Ting only participated in 29 league rounds, handed over 15 goals and 15 assists, and averaged more than one goal per game. At the same time, Liu Ting also scored 2 goals in the FA Cup and 7 goals and 2 assists in the Champions League.

The four giants have occupied four Champions League places in successive years. In the middle of this season, they once hoped to obtain a Champions League place. However, Aston Villa, which was pulled away by Arsenal in the last few rounds, expressed dissatisfaction. Villa's head coach Martin O'Neill said: "The FA should consider letting the fourth to No.7 in the league play a knockout match after the end of the season to determine the final Champions League place.

Manchester City, which has invested a lot of money this year, only won No.10 in the Premier League. It seems that the four giants have remained unbreakable. The strange thing is that Manchester City spent so much money and did not even qualify for the UEFA Cup. Their head coach Mark Hughes actually sat in the head coach position.

Oil tycoons think that playing football only costs money, and they don't even know the importance of finding a good head coach.

When Liu Ting was asked about the addition of knockout matches to determine the qualification for the Champions League, he said: "One season is long enough, do they want to fight until the end of the world?"

The league is over, and Liverpool has the last game left to play, and it is also the most important game, the Champions League final.

A few days before the finals, the two sides began to spat at each other.

The media supporting Liverpool said that Barcelona stole the qualification for the final from Chelsea, while the Barcelona media said that Liverpool used players trained by La Masia.

In addition to Liu Ting, there is another player in the Liverpool team who was born in La Masia. The main goalkeeper Reina is also from La Masia.

At that time, Real Madrid cultivated a talented goalkeeper Casillas. Barcelona, ​​which has always been against Real Madrid, was of course not to be outdone and wanted its own Casillas. Therefore, the talented goalkeeper Reina of the La Masia training camp was kicked out and made his debut at the Camp Nou at a young age. The sinner that Barcelona was eliminated by Liverpool was rented and then sold to Villarreal at the end of the season.

La Masia has never been short of talent. After Reina left, Barcelona quickly found another talented goalkeeper Valdes. Reina was gradually forgotten by Camp Nou fans.

When Benitez was coaching in Spain, he fell in love with Reina who played for Villarreal. After one season in Liverpool, he was fed up with Liverpool's crazy goalkeeper Dudek. When Dudek performed well, it was like the Champions League final in Istanbul.

A season later, Benitez, who had gained a foothold, bought Reina, who soon became Liverpool's main goalkeeper with a good performance, and Dudek, the hero of the Istanbul miracle, went to Real Madrid to serve as a substitute goalkeeper for Iker Casillas.

Speaking of which, Reina is also deeply involved with Barcelona.

On the Spanish side, Barcelona's Piquepi Dazui said to reporters: "We are not nervous, we are fully capable of defeating them. Barcelona will win the Triple Crown and make those two traitors regret."

The traitors mentioned by Pique naturally refer to Liu Ting and Reina. They don't care why they go to other teams. Anyway, opposing Barcelona is a traitor.

An interesting thing happened in La Masia some time ago. Carlos, the youth team coach who drove Liu Ting away, was fired because of Liu Ting's outstanding performance. A few months later, he went to Barcelona's rival Espanyol to find a new job.

The time for the final is approaching, and the Chinese media and fans are still more concerned about Liverpool's squad. Whether Zheng Zhi will enter the final 18-man squad, as long as he enters the 18-man squad, even if he sits on the bench for the entire game, he is also the first Chinese to participate in the UEFA Champions League final, and he is also the first Asian to participate in the UEFA Champions League final.

Although Park Ji-sung won the Champions League medal last year, he did not enter the 18-man list, so strictly speaking, Park Ji-sung did not participate in the Champions League final.

Three days before the final, Liverpool gave the final list of 18 players, and Zheng Zhi was on the list. This is something that deserves to be reported by the Chinese media.

Bordeaux continued to win the Ligue [-] championship this season. Liu Ting's former mentor Blanco was also asked about the Champions League final: "I always knew he would become a star, but I didn't expect it to be so fast. I believe Liu will play a key role in the final. He is that kind of player, and he always performs better in important games."

For such an important game as the Champions League final, the European gaming industry naturally needs to focus on taking care of it, and offers various odds.

In terms of winning odds, Barcelona is slightly lower than Liverpool. Barcelona's winning odds are 2.61, and Liverpool's winning odds are 2.69, which are evenly matched.

The lower the odds, the better the bet.

In addition, there are various odds, such as the odds of which player from the two teams will score the first goal first. Among them, Gerrard has the lowest odds, indicating that he is the most favored. Liu Ting is the second lowest in the Liverpool team, that is, the second most favored player.In Barcelona, ​​Otto'o the African cheetah is the most favored, followed by Messi.

This kind of odds is related to the experience of the final. Gerrard was the main player in the 05 UEFA Champions League final and scored a goal. Otto’o also participated in the 06 UEFA Champions League final to help Barcelona win the championship. Although Messi also won the 05/06 UEFA Champions League, Messi was injured before the final. Strictly speaking, this is Messi’s first Champions League final.

There are also many other things that have been gambled about the final, such as whether Zheng Zhi will play in the final, whether Liverpool will get a card for defending Messi, whether Messi will flop in the final, whether Liu Ting will have a conflict with Barcelona players in the final, whether the head coach of both sides will be sent to the stands, etc.

Of course, the most concerned odds are the odds of the Champions League Golden Boot. Currently, Messi tops the scorer list with 8 goals. Liu Ting and Gerrard are tied for second with 7 goals. Anything can happen in the final. It is still unclear who will win the Champions League Golden Boot.
