king of world football

On the evening of May 5st, Manchester City played against Watford at home in the final match of the Premier League.

In this game, Guardiola sent the main force to warm up, but he repeatedly warned the players not to make dangerous moves and try to avoid injuries.

Therefore, the situation has always been balanced and stable. The visiting team took the lead in scoring in the first half, and the home team equalized in the second half with Nolito, who came off the bench.

The 1:1 tie was maintained until the end of the game.

至此英超落下帷幕，曼城拿到29胜7平2负积94分的好成绩，No.2切尔西则是29胜3平6负积90分。

In third place is Tottenham Hotspur. They drove high and low. At the beginning of the season, they once threatened Blue Moon's leading position, but they failed to keep up with the top two.

The last place in the Champions League was won by Liverpool, and Arsenal, the contender for the top four, could only rank fifth to play in the Europa League.

The three teams that were relegated were Hull City, Middlesbrough and Sunderland, while the three teams that were promoted from the Championship were Newcastle United, Brighton and Huddersfield.

Judging from the official announcement of the season's top 20 team bonus + sharing income, champion Manchester City's income reached 1.5 million pounds, followed by Chelsea with 1.47 million pounds.

Liverpool ranked third with 1.46 million due to higher broadcast ratings than Tottenham, and Tottenham ranked fourth with 1.45 million.

However, even Sunderland, which was relegated from the bottom, can get 9347 million pounds. In addition, the "relegation distribution plan" launched by the Premier League can further protect their rights and interests.

This system, nicknamed the "parachute", specifically means that every season the league will allocate a part of its revenue to the teams that have been relegated from the Premier League to the English Championship to ensure that these teams can have a soft landing financially. Team wages are much higher than in the Championship.

The relegated team will receive 55% of the broadcast share in one year, and 45% and 20% in the next two seasons.

Take Newcastle United, which unfortunately fell last season, as an example. They received a share of about 4100 million pounds.

.........

In addition to revenue sharing, the Premier League also announced the ownership of the season's awards. The best team formation is three, four, three, and the goalkeeper is Courtois of Chelsea.

The back three are Van Dijk (Southampton), Otamendi (Manchester City) and Jan Verhunton (Tottenham).

The four midfielders consist of David Silva (Manchester City), De Bruyne (Manchester City), Eden Hazard (Chelsea) and Pogba (Manchester United).

The three strikers are Lukaku (Everton), Wang Feng (Manchester City) and Harry Kane (Tottenham).

As for the top scorer and player of the season awards in the Premier League, there is no doubt that they belong to the Chinese superstar. His feat of breaking the scoring record in a single season is also talked about by all media fans.

Looking at the five major leagues, Barcelona and Messi scored the second most goals in La Liga. He scored a total of 37 goals, 7 goals less than Wang Feng, so Wang Feng once again won the European Golden Boot glory.

"No one can take the top scorer away from Wang, unless he doesn't want it himself!" said the European Golden Boot winner "World Football" magazine.

Since landing in the five major leagues, the only reason for the Chinese superstar to miss this award is to change the midfielder for the team as a whole, and to compete for teammates.

At other times, he showed an incomparably strong posture and won the award with a great advantage.

In the Manchester City team, Guardiola deliberately reduced Wang Feng's playing time and only allowed him to make a final decision at critical moments, so his efficiency can be said to be the highest in the entire football world.

At the same time, the Spaniard also changed his old thinking of training the main force, and continued to rotate under the pressure of multi-line combat and injuries, ensuring the playing time of almost all first-team teams.

Even the teenager Gabriel Jesus, who joined in the winter, also appeared on the Premier League stage in some rotation games, and the substitute striker Nolito even scored 6 goals.

But this also brings new problems. Last summer's stacked signings caused Manchester City's player composition to be very bloated. After the end of the season, it must be streamlined in order to carry out targeted reinforcements.

The substitutes who perform well want to seek a higher status, and the head coach needs to make a choice, which ones can be let go, and which ones must be kept to ensure the normal operation of the team next season.

Of course, everything will have to wait until the dust settles in the FA Cup and Champions League.

.........

On the evening of May 5th, at Wembley Stadium in London, the FA Cup final, another peak match between Manchester City and Chelsea began here.

The Blues are extremely unwilling to lose the league trophy. They scored 90 points in the league, but lost the opportunity because they lost to Blue Moon twice in the strong dialogue.

Therefore, they desperately hope to avenge their shame and destroy Manchester City's dream of a Grand Slam.

After the start of the game, the offensive end led by Hazard and Diego Costa took the lead in attacking Blue Moon.

In the 11th minute, Moses crossed Hazard. The latter stopped the ball and sent an oblique plug. Costa stabbed in front of the goal from a quiet distance and almost knocked on the gate of Manchester City. Fortunately, Bravo responded in time and punched the ball out of the baseline.

Chelsea got a corner kick, Alonso took the penalty and hoisted it into the penalty area. In the chaos, Otamendi header cleared, but was blocked by teammate Kolarov, but Silva rushed to send him out of the danger zone.

But at this time, the referee blew his whistle, signaled Kolarov to handball, and awarded Chelsea a penalty!

"Judging from the slow motion, the ball hit the Manchester City defender's shoulder area, so there is little suspicion of handball. This is very likely a misjudgment." Zhang Jun said in the live broadcast room.

"The Manchester City players surrounded the referee and kept explaining, but they still couldn't change his mind."

In the end, Hazard helped the team take the lead overnight.

Although very depressed, the game will continue. Captain Kompany and Wang Feng both stood up to comfort everyone, and they quickly adjusted their mentality and rejoined the battle.

In the 33rd minute of the first half, Bravo took a goal kick from the backcourt. De Bruyne stopped the ball 40 meters from the frontcourt with his back to the attacking direction and chest, then turned around and sent a direct pass to the top of the arc.

This lob pass was very ingenious, with the right angle and landing point, Wang Feng volleyed against the fall, the ball drew a rainbow in the air, rubbed the crossbar and went into Chelsea's goal, 1:1!

After equalizing the score, Blue Moon's morale was boosted, and they had another good chance in the 67th minute when they changed sides.

This time it was a corner kick opportunity, De Bruyne took it out, Kante headed the ball in the penalty area to make a clearance, and Kompany, who went forward to attack, grabbed the spot and split the side to the Belgian again.

De Bruyne feigned a cross and shot a feint, but suddenly made an inverted triangle cross to the top of the arc. The Chinese superstar who retreated to respond stepped sideways to a stop, and immediately turned around and swung his right leg to volley.

This caught Chelsea's defense off guard. Goalkeeper Courtois was a step too late to make a save. The ball hit the inside of the post and bounced into the net.

In the end, with Wang Feng's brace, Manchester City reversed Chelsea 2:1 and won the sixth FA Cup in team history.

And this season, Blue Moon also successfully achieved the English Professional League Grand Slam, namely the Premier League, League Cup and FA Cup Triple Crown, which is the first time in history!
