Father Green

Chapter 394 : I heard that we are the champions?
When Charlotte saw that unbelievable scene, he knew that history was still running on the track it should have, and at the same time, he also knew that the league championship this season was secure.

When the game between Liverpool and Chelsea entered the first half injury time, Liverpool had the ball in the backcourt.Sakho passed the ball back to Gerrard, but Gerrard mishandled the ball and slipped and lost control of the ball.

Demba Ba, who was not far from him, seized the opportunity to quickly rush up and steal the football, and threw off Gerrard and Sakho, the three Liverpool defenders who were chasing back, and then faced Minho Lay's defense got the ball in with ease.

Gerrard, the soul of the Red Army made a fatal mistake at the critical moment of the team's championship.His mistake directly gave the opponent a goal. Although there are still 45 minutes in the second half, the opponent is Mourinho's Chelsea. It is too difficult to overtake the score when the opponent leads by one goal. .

After seeing Demba Ba score this goal, all the Southampton players watching the game in the conference room jumped up and celebrated, because this goal of the Blues is likely to send them directly to the championship.

After the second half of the game, Mourinho obviously adjusted the team's tactics. They stabilized the rhythm and waited for Liverpool to press up. After all, they are not in a hurry now.

At the No. 60 minute of the game, Mourinho also replaced the goal hero Demba Ba with Torres, because Torres did have to be more active in the frontcourt's press and defense.

Torres, who came off the bench, was also lucky today and scored a goal after receiving a pass from Hazard.Chelsea had a 80-[-] lead in the No. [-] minute, and everyone knew that Liverpool's last hope had been shattered.

The remaining time of the game here is not much meaning, the camera frequently cuts the screen to the stands, there are many famous Red Army players and Liverpool fans in the audience.Many elderly Liverpool fans have cried out. For Red Army fans, a Premier League championship has become their nightmare.

At the end of the game, Chelsea won a two-to-zero victory in the away game.This victory also completely made the Red Army lose the chance to compete for the championship. In the end, Southampton won the league championship one round ahead of schedule.

After the game, Charlotte sent a Weibo: "I heard. We are the champions?"

Of course, this Weibo naturally caused dissatisfaction among some Liverpool fans.But competitive sports are like this, and at the beginning of the season, the Red Army poached three of his generals, which made Charlotte and the Saints seem very passive at that time, so now Charlotte can naturally fulfill the privilege of the winner and watch as much as he wants. The other party laughed.

This night, the Saints fans were completely sleepless. They became the third team to successfully defend the Premier League title since the establishment of the Premier League. The first two were Manchester United and Chelsea.

Although they have reached the final of the Champions League this season, fans of the optimistic Saints will not think that they can win this tournament, because their opponent in the final is Real Madrid, the Galacticos.

Regardless of the current Real Madrid's overall strength or their pursuit of the tenth Champions League, Southampton does not seem to be enough, so at most they have to think about it and play it in their hearts. After all, this possibility is better than winning the lottery. The prize is much higher.

So being able to win the league championship this season is enough to make up for their loss in the Champions League. Of course, as the Saints, being able to reach the final is already a victory in itself.

In addition, the FA Cup also reached the final this season, so there is no reason for Saints fans not to celebrate.

There is still a period of time between the two finals, and the next league game is still a week away, so Charlotte took advantage of this time to give the team a day off, although Charlotte has stated that there will be no celebration until all the games are over .But he knew that these players and fans would definitely hold a small celebration party by themselves, so in order for the players to rest well and celebrate with peace of mind, he specially gave them a day off.

Some things go too far, and Charlotte is very clear about this.It can be seen from the fact that Southampton's training volume is the best in the Premier League and the holiday time is also the best in the Premier League. Charlotte knows the way to relax.

On the rest day, Charlotte was invited by the Rhodes family to their house. The relationship between the Rhodes family and Charlotte is not bad. They are friends in name, but they are more like relatives. This is almost all the people in Southampton. all know.

Charlotte doesn't have any relatives or friends in the UK, so the Rhodes family often invites Charlotte to their home for dinner and gatherings, especially during festivals in some western countries, and even during some traditional Chinese festivals if the team is not particularly busy, The Rhodes family would always invite Charlotte to the party, and for this reason, the Rhodes family specially made up a lot of Chinese festival customs.

Even Jack Lord, whose family has the worst relationship with Charlotte, knows that mooncakes are eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival. His favorite is mooncakes with five kernels, which makes Charlotte unable to complain.

Mr. Rhodes' health is getting worse day by day. Firstly, he is getting older. In addition, he didn't take good care of his body and health when he was young, so once he gets old, his body will plummet. His heart is not very good, and his legs and feet are not convenient, so now his sons and daughter-in-law are even ready for the old man to leave.

Charlotte feels deeply about this. Last season, the old man could chat with him for a long time, and even had a glass of champagne, but now the old man often chats for a while before falling asleep unconsciously, and his memory is getting better and better. Too bad, I'm a little weak to speak.

"Dad, Charlotte came to see you." Leo took Charlotte to the living room, where the old man was taking a nap.

"Who?" the old man asked.

"His hearing is also getting worse now." Gary Rhodes, a doctor, explained to Charlotte.

Charlotte nodded, went up and knelt down and held the old man's hand: "Hey, Danny! I'm Charlotte, remember me?"

The old man looked at Charlotte, and suddenly patted him with his hand: "You think I'm a fool, by the way, take out the gift I prepared for this kid Charlotte."

Jack Rhode, who was standing on the side, was a little dissatisfied: "I can't remember my son's name, but I still remember Charlotte's name. Who is your son when you fall down?" A gift box was taken out of the room.

"We are defending the league title and the Champions League has entered the final. I am very happy, and all Saints fans are very happy. I watched that game"

"You fell asleep after watching it for more than ten minutes. When you wake up, we are already champions." Gary Rhodes joked with his father with a smile.

Mr. Rhodes ignored his second son's joke, but talked on his own, but fell asleep while talking.

The gift prepared by the old man is two jerseys, according to Li Ao, these are the old man's collection.One is the home jersey of the team when the team broke into the quarter-finals of the European Cup in 1977, and the other is the first year of the Premier League in the 1992-1993 season, when Southampton was one of the founding teams of the Premier League. time home jersey.

There were quite a few signatures on it, and Charlotte didn't know who these signatures belonged to. After all, that era was too far away, but Charlotte still found a familiar signature, which was the name of Matthew Le Tissier .

Charlotte had dinner at Rhode's house and chatted with Leo about the brokerage company for a while, and then left. During this period, Mr. Rhode occasionally woke up to chat with Charlotte, and then fell asleep while chatting.Charlotte handed three tickets to Mr. Rhodes. The split is the team's home game against Manchester United a week later. This is the last game of the league this season. This game is also Southampton's league champion this season. Celebration and Award Ceremony.

The other is for the team's FA Cup final between London's new Wembley Stadium and Arsenal soon, and the last is for Lisbon, Portugal, at the Stadium of Light, which hosts this season's Champions League final.

This season is definitely a very painful season for Manchester United. They are currently ranked eighth in the league standings. Not to mention the Champions League, they even have no qualifications for the Europa League. To line up to welcome the new champion Southampton.

Last season was the league championship that Southampton snatched from them, which eventually led to Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement in the last season, and he could not retire as a league champion honorably.

It's just that Charlotte knows that for the Red Devils, this is just the beginning, and the sad things are not over yet.

On May [-]th, the last round of the Premier League, all ten games started at the same time.At this time, Manchester United's players were already standing in line at the exit gate of the player tunnel, and Southampton players stepped onto the lawn of St. Mary's Stadium amid the applause of Manchester United.

Charlotte came to the sidelines before the players, and he felt that this honor should be left to the players.Looking at the position above, Mr. Rhodes and his family came to the stadium to watch the game despite his poor health.

This game didn't make much sense for both sides, so neither team played enough.The Saints players want to end early so that they can enjoy the glory of the championship trophy, and the Red Devils players also want the game to end early and rush to finish this humiliating season.

Under such circumstances, the two sides played one to one and shook hands.The two teams have also put an end to their own league this season, the difference is that the part belonging to the Saints is destined to be dazzling.
