Chapter 393: The Final Crucial Moment of the League
The final outcome can be seen from the results of the first round of the contest. In this game, Southampton defeated Atletico Madrid [-]-[-] away.But the total score was four to one, and they entered the final of this season's Champions League with their heads held high.

The results of this game are undoubtedly huge. Almost all sports media around the world are reporting that Southampton has entered the Champions League final this season. The Saints are undoubtedly the biggest dark horse of this season.

Although Southampton was the league champion last season, it is also one of the strong contenders for the championship this season.But now everyone has not linked the Saints team with those giants. The fans of the Premier League are okay to say. As for those fans who don’t watch many Premier League games, they will exclaim Southampton’s performance in the Champions League this season. .

In the eyes of most people, although the Saints are no longer the team that needs to be relegated, they are definitely not connected with the Champions League final. Even in the hearts of local Premier League fans, the Saints are only a competition in the European theater. One of the latter, so Southampton's achievements in the past two seasons have come too fast, so fast that many fans have not yet realized it.

Charlotte's reaction was quick. Facing the praise and praise from the media all over the world, he just calmly said that this season was entirely due to good luck, just like their good luck last season.Although it is a very happy thing to enter the Champions League final, it is not the time for our team to celebrate, and there are still important leagues to deal with on our side.

The time has come to May, and all fronts are now entering the final battle.The Premier League starts early, but generally ends earlier.In addition, there are important World Cup matches this summer, so the time for many club games ends early.

May has only come to the third day, but this is already the penultimate round of the Premier League. The penultimate round of last season was still in the middle of May.

Southampton's current round of the game will start three hours first. At the same time, Manchester United, Stoke City and Newcastle United will also start the game. The results of the first match between Tottenham and West Ham United have come out Yes, Tottenham lost to the Hammers away.The focus of this round is the red-blue battle between Liverpool and Chelsea at Anfield. In addition to being rich on both sides, this game is also related to the ownership of the Premier League champion this season.

This red-blue battle was scheduled to take place in the last game of this round, which means that this game will not start until the results of the other nine games are out.

The Saints' opponent in this round is their good friend Swansea City. Charlotte's team formed the seeds of friendship with this Welsh team when they were still in the British Championship, so the two sides are very familiar with each other.

However, this game is still attracting the attention of the outside world. When almost all broadcasters choose this round of Premier League games, except for the last red-blue battle, they regard this game as the most important task of broadcasting. .

The head coach of the Swansea City team is their former captain and England defender Gary Monk. At the same time, Gary Monk also has an identity as Charlotte's team. Not long ago, he was a member of Charlotte's coaching staff.Swansea City fired Danish marshal Laudrup when the underwhelming team fell into the quagmire of relegation, and Swansea brought Gary Monk back after the acting manager led the team for a few games. Swan Lake serves as head coach.

So this game is also known as the master-apprentice battle between Charlotte and Gary Monk. Although Monk is indeed much older than Charlotte in age, Charlotte is indeed the master of the opponent in the football industry. Charlotte taught Gary Monk a lot of things during his tenure as a coach. Even Gary Monk did not hide this at all when he was interviewed by reporters. He even made no secret that the coaching industry I am completely learning Charlotte.

As the first coach from Charlotte's coaching staff to coach alone, Gary Monk has performed very well in these few games led by the team. They defeated the relegation rival Norwich, lost a goal to Chelsea and then A small victory over Newcastle United by one goal, and a four-to-one victory over Aston Villa, one of the relegation competitors, in the last round of the game, so Gary Monk gave Swansea a The fans got a shot in the arm, and many Swan Lake fans even called him the savior.

The current Swansea has achieved No.12 in the league under the leadership of Gary Monk. Although this ranking is very high, they are only six points away from Norwich, which is third from the bottom in the league, so they Now it is only theoretically completed relegation.

Charlotte naturally adopted a rotation lineup for this game, and almost none of the starters who played Atletico Madrid in the middle of the week played.The strength of the Swansea City team is not strong, and now it is not long before relegation ahead of schedule, and the opponent will definitely relax, so Charlotte intends to give more players a chance to rest.

It is worth mentioning that Rodgers stood up and said good things for Swansea before this game. As the former Swansea coach Rogers said that Swansea City is one of the very good teams. He believes that such a team should not Just fighting for relegation.At the same time, Swansea's professional ethics and Gary Monk's professional ethics are unquestionable. They will definitely not deliberately release water in the game as many unscrupulous media say, helping Southampton take a big step on the road to winning the championship. .

Charlotte is naturally clear about Rogers' little calculation. He said that he believed in Swansea.Rather, it is a warning to Swansea that this game is very important, and many people are watching it. If you deliberately release water, you will be despised by the whole of England.

At the same time, Rodgers also mentioned the game they played at Old Trafford last season. As the last home game before Sir Alex retired, many people thought this game was just a cutscene, and only Ferguson was the real protagonist. .But no one thought that Swansea would almost overthrow Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement ceremony. They led the Red Devils Manchester United [-]-[-] throughout the whole process. If not, Swan Lake might really have ended the last home game of Sir Alex Ferguson's career in failure.
Gary Monk naturally said that he would not release the water in this game, but now the team has completed relegation, and the strength gap between the two sides is indeed a bit obvious, so you can’t say that I have released water for match-fixing just because I lost the game?

In order to prove his professional ethics, Gary Monk just shook hands with Charlotte before the game.This made the broadcasters very helpless. One of them gave close-up shots to the two head coaches, thinking that they would give a friendly hug and greeting on the sidelines.

After the start of the game, Swansea played very actively for a time. Although the relationship between the two sides was indeed very good, it would be too petty to deliberately release water, so Swansea, who is at home, took the lead in launching an offensive.

It's just that Southampton is the kind of team that is afraid of the opponent's attack?What they were afraid of was that the opponent would not be able to retreat, so when the first half ended, the Saints temporarily led their opponent [-]-[-], and entered the intermission contentedly.

At the beginning of the second half, Gary Monk made adjustments to get the team back a goal. The Spanish midfielder Michu, who returned from injury, pulled back a goal for Swan Lake. It is worth mentioning that this is Michu who came off the bench to play. Yes, so many commentators said that Gary Monk actually learned Charlotte's on-the-spot adjustment stunt
Although the score is temporarily tied, after all, Southampton's strength lies there. In the second half, relying on the goals of Lukaku and Sterling, the Saints completely killed the game.

When the game ended, Charlotte and Gary Monk hugged, smiled and greeted on the sidelines. Although he lost this game, Gary Monk was not sad, because he completely dragged Swan Lake out of the relegation after he took office. The quagmire, so the fans and the club's executives will not ask too much for this game. To be honest, it is not shameful to lose to the Saints
Jack Cork, who started the game and played the whole game, also hugged and greeted the Swansea players. He has been to Swan Lake on loan, so he is very familiar with the Liberty Stadium and the Swansea players.The two sides didn't say hello before the game, that's because the game is about to start, the two sides are still enemies, but at the end of the game, everyone is still friends.

Southampton's game ended relatively early, and it was only four o'clock in the afternoon GMT when the game ended, so Charlotte declined Gary Monk's kindness to invite everyone to dinner, and took the players to sit The team bus went straight back to Southampton.

The returning team did not disband, but was brought into the multimedia meeting room of the training base by Charlotte.The red-blue battle between Chelsea and Liverpool is about to start, so Charlotte called the whole team to sit in the conference room to watch the game.

This game is a battle between dragons and tigers, and the competition between the two sides directly affects the championship of this season.At the same time, the current strength of the two teams is also very close. Liverpool ranks second in the league, and Chelsea, who is third, is only two points behind them, so it is a wonderful game no matter how you look at it.

Since Southampton has already won, this game is no longer important to Chelsea.Even if they won the game, they are still four points behind the Saints, and there is only one round left in the league and Chelsea's final opponent is not the Saints, so it can be said that Chelsea has withdrawn from the championship ahead of schedule, and everything will come next. Look at Liverpool.

If Liverpool can win this game, they will still be two points behind the Saints.But the Saints' opponent in the last game was Manchester United and their opponent was Newcastle United, who had no desires and desires, so they can pin their last hope on their arch-enemy Manchester United.

Liverpool must win this game, even if it is a draw.If there is a tie, the difference is three points. Even if Manchester United wins the Saints in the end, they also win Newcastle United. If the two sides have the same points, the goal difference of the Saints is much higher than theirs, unless They were able to charge Newcastle United with more than [-] goals in the last game without conceding a goal, otherwise they would not be able to count on goal difference.

[Comrades, what a hard work, I was wrong, happy Mid-Autumn Festival, comrades! ! 】
