Chapter 337: The last game of the season

Southampton, who won the Europa League championship, ushered in the last game of the season on the weekend. Since it is the last game of the Premier League, in order to prevent many teams from playing tacit balls or deliberately releasing water at critical moments, the English Football Association A long time ago, it was stipulated that the ten games of the final round would start at the same time.

There is absolutely no suspense in the Premier League this season. Southampton miraculously won the championship early. Chelsea lost against Arsenal in the competition for the European seat. One of the "Arsenal contending for four" deserves its name.

On the side of the relegation zone, three relegation spots have been created after the last round of competition. The split is Queens Park Rangers, newly promoted Reading back to the Championship and Wigan Athletic. Sunderland is four points ahead of Sunderland. round of relegation.

So when it comes to the last round of matches on the weekend, the biggest thing to watch in the Premier League is whether Southampton can win the league unbeaten, and whether their league's top scorer Sturridge can score a personal goal this season. No.30 league goals.

Of course, even if he didn't score [-] goals, he is now the top scorer in the league.Three goals ahead of Van Persie and six goals ahead of Suarez.Unless the Dutch striker Van Persie can stage a big four in the last game, and at the same time have to ensure that Sturridge does not score in the last round.Even if Van Persie and Sturridge scored the same number of goals, it would not work. Due to injuries and rotations, Sturridge played fewer games than Van Persie.

Van Persie was the Premier League's Golden Boot winner last season, scoring 26 goals.If there is no Sturridge this season, he may also defend this award. In fact, [-] goals and [-] goals are the same for Van Persie. This scoring efficiency is enough to prove that he is still the general Fan who swept everything!

Southampton's opponent in the last round is the potter Stoke City team. The current Stoke City team ranks No.13 in the standings. The Saints' home court, so everyone thinks that Stoke City is just going through the motions, and the Saints' unbeaten league championship is only 10 minutes left.

Another small point of this game is that Sir Alex Ferguson coached the last game, but because Manchester United is away in this game, such feelings have also been diluted a lot.After the last round of Manchester United's home game against Swansea, Manchester United had already held a farewell ceremony for the legendary coach at Old Trafford, and the godfather of the Red Devils who led Manchester United to a high level also made a speech on the spot his retirement speech.

So this final game is not very important to Manchester United. Even when Ferguson himself went to the Hawthorns, the 18-man roster was full of young players.

There is still more than an hour before the start of the game, but at this time the St. Mary's Stadium is already overcrowded.This is the last game of the team this season, and it is also the final game of their big harvest this season. Everyone knows that after the game is over, the team will hold a large-scale celebration, so everyone has already prepared Came to the stadium.

Naturally, the fans couldn't just sit on the pitch, and they started singing.From Southampton's team anthem to each player and coach Charlotte's song to some familiar classic songs on the pitch, such as "You'll Never Walk Alone", "Let Him Go", "Hey Judy" Until now the popular music on the market
One after another, until the game is about to start.

"Let us welcome our heroes into the arena!!" The host shouted loudly.

"Our immortal legend Calvin—" George said with a long ending.

"Davis!!!" The [-] fans in the audience shouted each other's name in unison. This is the pre-match interactive program that St. Mary's Stadium and many European teams are used to at home.

"Luke from our youth academy—"

"resemble!!"

"Our boy Jack—"

"Stephens!!"

In this game, Charlotte sent a large number of young players. Except for the old goalkeeper David, the central defender Jose Fonte, the vice-captain Lallana at the front midfielder and the striker Sturridge, the rest of the players were all All young players and rotation players.Such as Sterling, Pogba, Chambers and Florenzi, it is worth mentioning that Harry Kane also got the chance to start.

Last season, Harry Kane was still a member of the Saints striker rotation, but as the team comes to the Premier League this season and needs to play high-level competitions such as the Europa League, Harry Kane's playing time is limited. Received a substantial reduction, especially the two big brother strikers Sturridge and Icardi are in excellent condition, and the two directly shared the starters of all important games of the Saints.

"Finally, let us greet our miracle worker with the most enthusiastic cheers—"

"Charlotte!!!!"

When Charlotte played, she was warmly welcomed by the fans.Saints fans have risen from love to admiration for this young head coach. He has led the Saints to accomplish achievements that the team has never dared to expect for more than 100 years.

Not to mention the players he recruited from all over the world before, even many young players in the club have slowly gained a foothold in the Premier League under the guidance of Charlotte.So no one doubts Charlotte's strength so far. Whether it's the results he led the team or the training of the team, everyone has seen it.

Among them, the most legendary ones are Danny Rose, Stephens and Sturridge. Danny Rose even had few chances to play in Tottenham, and his performance on the offensive line was also lackluster.

But after coming to Southampton, he was transformed into a left back by Charlotte and established his status as one of the most powerful left backs in the Premier League in one fell swoop.Danny Rose, who was ridiculed by Charlotte as the "Black Rose", has now begun to replace the veteran Ashley Cole as one of the regular players in the England national team. His current competitor is Everton Powerful Baines, but Baines is 29 years old. In the offensive full-back position that requires impact, speed, and physical fitness, everyone can naturally see that this position of the Three Lions must belong to the only one now. Danny Rose, who is not yet 23 years old.

As for Stephens, let alone the first team as a former South Coast boy, even the youth team is about to fail. Even the youth team head coach and youth training director are lobbying him to start looking for another way out.But at this time Charlotte appeared, and he gave Stephens a lot of guidance and care, letting him watch a lot of game videos of the world's top central defenders, plus a tailor-made training plan.

This kid who couldn't get along in the youth team suddenly became the fastest growing and most improved player of the Saints.First became the main central defender of the youth team, then was promoted to the first team, and gradually became one of the regular rotations of the first team.German central defender Mustafi, who was more mature than him this season, was loaned out, but he stayed in the first team and became a regular rotation of central defenders.

So Stephens has the lowest starting point, but his growth is the most obvious, which is more legendary than Danny Rose.These stories Stephens once broke out in an interview with a media, so everyone knows that Charlotte is really good at training young players.

As for the stories of Sturridge, Icardi and others, everyone has long been familiar with them. Almost all of them were abandoned by the teams. As a result, a different brilliance broke out under Southampton Charlotte.

Now the only doubt people from all walks of life have is whether this lineup can be retained by Charlotte. Southampton, who has been in the limelight this season, has naturally attracted the attention of major teams, and the core players have been rejected by many big teams. "seduce".

Although the Saints have won the Premier League and the Europa League this season, they are too lacking in background, the team's popularity and appeal are not high, and the team's financial ability cannot afford the salaries paid to the players by those rich teams, so Being poached is a sure thing.

Don't you see that the Saints, who have just been promoted to the Premier League this season, have been poached by other Premier League teams before the season has even started?Even the "Various Premier League Blacks" who spoof the Premier League and the famous Premier League spoof comic group "Just toon it" expressed in funny ways that it is only a few days before the opening of the "Southampton Supermarket"
For the transfer, Charlotte naturally has his own plans. He has just completed a contract extension with the team.In all aspects, the two sides have reached an agreement after negotiation, but it has not been announced to the outside world.But his future has already been decided, so Charlotte can completely think about the transfer market.

Originally, according to what Charlotte meant, the team and the player's contract renewal should be put in the winter break. After all, after the contract renewal reaches the summer at this time, the team seems to be able to keep the player or sell it with ease.But during the winter break, because his contract renewal has not yet been finalized, the players' contract renewals were naturally put on hold.

After this game, the first thing Charlotte has to do is to renew the contract with the players, um. As for those players who have already decided to leave, naturally there is no need.

Charlotte was already distracted, and he began to think about things after the end of the season.But at this time, he heard exclamations from outside the arena, and when he looked up, he saw a scene that he didn't expect to see.

The opponent's midfielder Nzonzi took a free kick in the frontcourt. "Gaoguo" Crouch came out of the crowd and overwhelmed Jose Fonte to shake his head to attack the goal. Davis responded but was still a step behind , The football went straight into the upper right corner of the goal.

Stoke City took a [-]-[-] lead away from Southampton, which greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.
