Chapter 310 Premier League Championship Suspense
With Chu Feng's long-range shot breaking through Ha Town's goal, the score was changed in the 5th minute of the game.

Chu Feng was surrounded by his teammates celebrating. He scratched his head and said, "I still overestimated Huddersfield's strength."

"Chu, I told you that you were overthinking before the game. You said that with that sieve-like defense, who else would be relegated if not them?"

Maguire smiled brightly.

As the Premier League draws to a close, how many points does Huddersfield Town have now?

16 points.

That’s right, the last in the league, which is 20th place.

Ahead of Huddersfield are Fulham (26 points) and Cardiff City (34 points), with Cardiff City also Manchester United's opponent in the final round.

Let’s talk about Huddersfield and Fulham first. Whether they win or lose in the last two rounds, it will not change their fate of being relegated.

As for Cardiff City.

They are only two points away from 17th-placed Brighton, whose opponent in the last round is Manchester City, so they basically have little hope of winning.

This means that as long as Cardiff City can beat Manchester United, they can avoid relegation to the Championship.

Although there is only one letter difference between the Premier League and the Championship, the interests between them are worlds apart.

The Premier League earns tens of millions of pounds in broadcasting fees every year.

When huge benefits are placed in front of the players, it remains unknown how much energy Cardiff City can unleash.

But it is predictable that Manchester United will not play comfortably.

"If Cardiff City is also relegated early, we won't have to put in too much effort and can save our energy for the FA Cup final."

Maguire sighed inexplicably.

"Okay, let's play the game in front of us first, and we can think about the rest later."

Valencia, wearing the captain's armband, said in a deep voice.

The countdown to his leaving Manchester United has begun, and he wants to leave in a more glorious way.

Therefore, the league championship that is about to be won must not be lost.

"Remember to pass the ball to me more often later."

Chu Feng whispered to Mahrez.

"Hasn't your goal tally reached 40?" Mahrez asked in confusion.

"Do you think scoring too many goals is too much? I also have a goal bonus. Each extra goal will add hundreds of thousands of pounds. I will take you to China to play after the season ends."

Chu Feng doesn’t want to tie or even surpass Messi’s record.

That's certainly impossible.

Or it should be said that among professional players, any player who plays in the midfield or frontcourt has dreamed of becoming the top scorer in the top five leagues.

"I remember Messi's record for goals in a single season is 50. You only need to score 9 goals in the last two games. With your ability, it shouldn't be that difficult, right?"

Herrera said with a wink.

"Go away, if it was Manchester City, it would be possible, but the boss's tactical style"

Chu Feng retorted unhappily.

Is it easy to score 9 goals in two games?

It's easy to say, just take Huddersfield as an example, they only got 16 points in the whole season, which is almost the same level as the Championship teams.

If Manchester United had attacked with all their might, the score would have been outrageous.

But we are brushing up our stats by beating them at their home ground.

If Chu Feng was a player from Ha Town, he would probably be so angry that he would explode, and the amplitude of his movements would definitely become larger.

At that time, things like rushing towards people instead of the ball, and violent tackles will become normal.

Football is not always about fighting and killing, it also requires human relationships and social skills, and not pushing others too hard.

Look at Bayern, the "professional tragedy team", they are not very popular.

Just as Chu Feng expected, after Manchester United scored against Huddersfield Town, the morale of the players instantly plummeted to the bottom.

But some people also want to take the opportunity to show themselves.

After all, Manchester United's current popularity is second to none in global football. If they can take the opportunity to gain the favor of a team in the top five leagues, it would be better than playing in the Championship with Huddersfield Town.

However, this resulted in the players of Harbin having their own thoughts and it was basically impossible to play effectively together.

The 17th minute of the game.

Juninho made a mistake in passing the ball, which was intercepted by Pogba in advance. He passed the ball directly to Chu Feng on the left.

Facing Durm's pursuit, Chu Feng took a step forward, shaking off the defender while also creating enough space for shooting.

Then he easily shot the ball into the goal with his left foot.

Before the first half was halfway through, Chu Feng scored twice, helping Manchester United to a 2:0 lead over Huddersfield.

There was no suspense in the game at this point.

If every team can uphold the spirit of "never give up", the probability of miracles happening will greatly increase.

The players of Huddersfield felt that all the strength in their bodies had been drained.

Instead of thinking about how to play today's game, it is better to think about your career.

In the 30th minute of the first half, Chu Feng's header was slightly above the crossbar, and Huddersfield head coach Sivert yelled at the Huddersfield players.

"You can't defend him, give him the kicks and bumps!"

Sivert was once the coach of Dortmund's second team.

Mourinho has never liked conspiracy theories, but he doesn't dare to take a huge risk. What if Sivert really has that idea?

So he replaced Chu Feng.

Lukaku high-fived Chu Feng with a resentful look on his face.

Chu Feng is always the one who takes the limelight, and whenever there is danger, he is asked to take the responsibility.

Lukaku thought he had to leave at the end of the season. Staying at Manchester United would just mean he would sit on the bench, wasting the best years of his career as a professional player.

As for the next home?
Chelsea secretly contacted his agent, with Morata's departure and Higuain's slump.
Chelsea is in urgent need of an excellent center forward, and the treatment in all aspects is also good.

Lukaku wanted to show his loyalty to his future club, so he was unusually active in the game, which surprised his Manchester United teammates.

In the 63rd minute of the second half, he actually scored a header.

In the end, Manchester United took away three points from the John Smith Stadium with a score of 3:0 and continued to lead the Premier League standings.

It is worth mentioning that Manchester United’s two title rivals, Liverpool, just beat Newcastle United 3:2.

Since Liverpool did not have all its main players on the field and Lallana and Naby Keita were injured, the process for Liverpool to win was extremely difficult.

If it weren't for substitute center forward Origi's stoppage-time winning goal, Liverpool would have said goodbye to the league title early.

After taking the quick-acting heart-saving pill, Liverpool fans immediately watched the Manchester United game, but the result naturally did not satisfy them.

However, the suspense of the championship was retained until the end.

The match between Manchester City and Leicester City is on May 5 according to the Premier League schedule.

That is the day before the second leg of the Champions League semi-final between Manchester United and Liverpool.

what?
What's going on with Arsenal, you ask?

Not long after Chu Feng returned home, Arsenal and Brighton started playing!
He watched it for a while out of boredom.

Because this game is a crucial battle for the top four and will determine whether Arsenal can enter the top four.

结果
Nana fans thought the team would be crushed, just like Manchester United played against Huddersfield, but who would have thought it would end in a 1:1 draw. The process made Chu Feng's eyes twitch, and he mourned for his old teammate Mkhitaryan in his heart.

At first he thought Arsenal was suitable for Mkhitaryan, but it turns out that Messi's mother is doing pretty well there.

But everything changed after Wenger left.

If you say that Emery has no tactical skills, he was able to lead Sevilla to win three consecutive Europa League titles.

Turn the Europa League into the "Aimee Cup".

But on the other hand, he led Paris Saint-Germain to lose the league championship and was shocked by Barcelona in the Champions League knockout stage.

The Paris Saint-Germain team, Cavani, Di Maria, Matuidi.
The undisputed champion of French Ligue 1.

Although Monaco has a youthful storm with new stars such as Mbappe and B Silva, it is not a reason for Paris Saint-Germain to lose the league title.

"It would be nice to play in the Europa League next season." Chu Feng wanted to comfort Mkhitaryan, but after thinking about it carefully, he gave up. After all, this would seem like showing off to others.

Manchester, with no games being played, seemed to have returned to calm.

Hale Greenway in the evening.

Maria handed over a package and said softly with a smile, "This is the result of my further studies in Spain."

Chu Feng took it and looked at it curiously. It was a Spanish-style suit.

"Why did you think of making clothes for me?"

"If I don't do it for you, who else can I do it for?"

"Hmm uncle?"

Maria was speechless when she heard this. She really had forgotten about her father.

After a while, she told Chu Feng, "Don't tell him that I designed a set of clothes for you, or he will nag me again."

“Is there anywhere you’d like to go this summer?”

Chu Feng chuckled and nodded.

Maria held her chin and thought for a moment, then said excitedly with shining eyes: "Huaxia! I want to see where you grew up. Oh, yes, there are giant pandas there!"

In fact, she had wanted to go to China for a long time, but she had never found the opportunity.

Who makes her father is Guardiola?

"Okay, I can take Marius and Valentina with me. I'm sure the two little ones will want to go too."

Chu Feng was thinking about asking Mendes to turn down some business activities.

The two of them walked to Guardiola's villa unknowingly and happened to meet Guardiola getting out of the car. The future father-in-law did not seem to be in a good mood today.

As for the reason?

If you think about it, you will know that it is related to the game. Leicester City made three moves at the beginning of the game, which scared Manchester City so much that they kept complaining.

The game had not scored a goal until the 70th minute.

Just when people thought the game would end in a draw, Laporte passed the ball to Kompany, and the Belgian veteran used an exquisite long-range shot to break through Leicester City's goal.

In the end, Manchester City defeated Leicester City 1:0 with this goal.

But Guardiola was not happy.

Because Manchester City did not play well in this game, both the tactical execution and the player performance failed to meet Guardiola's psychological expectations.

However, when Guardiola saw his daughter and Chu Feng walking side by side, with Chu Feng holding a bag of beautifully packaged clothing in his hand, his mood suddenly became worse.

"You're going to play in the Champions League semi-final tomorrow, but you're still hanging around here so late at night. Don't you need to go to Liverpool in advance?"

Guardiola asked in a bad tone.

Chu Feng was helpless!

He didn't do anything at all, so how did he offend Guardiola again?

And what does late at night mean?
It’s only half past six, he hasn’t even had dinner yet!
Guardiola also knows that he shouldn't do that.

But when he thought of his precious daughter, he forgot about his old father after falling in love, and also the fact that Manchester City, the team he coached, was always defeated by Manchester United.

It seems that Chu Feng is not feeling well.

Fortunately, my future mother-in-law, Christina, came to the rescue in time: "Dinner is just ready, come in and eat."

"He can't eat. He has to follow the team's diet before the game and can't eat outside food privately."

Guardiola explained for Chu Feng.

"Auntie, I'll come to your place for dinner after this game is over."

Chu Feng also followed suit.

Then he winked at Maria and prepared to turn and leave.

Maria waved and shouted, "I'll be there to cheer you on in tomorrow's game against Liverpool."

Chu Feng raised the clothing bag.

Guardiola next to him received another 10,000 points of critical hit, and his bald head looked dim under the street light.

When it came to the crucial moment of competing for the league championship, I didn't see my daughter coming to the scene to cheer me on.

Fortunately, he has another little one.

But Valentina ran out of the house, hugged Maria's arm and said coquettishly: "Can I skip school tomorrow and go to Liverpool with my sister?"

"no!"

Guardiola refused outright.

Valentina pouted her lips when she heard that, and didn't say anything or make any noise, just looked at Guardiola.

Looking at Valentina's tearful eyes.

At this moment, Guardiola felt worse than losing the game. He waved his hand helplessly and said, "Go if you want to. Ask Chu for the tickets."

Only then did Valentina burst into laughter.
-
The evening show is around 7:30.

Chu Feng drove to the training base, had a meal with his teammates, and then got on the bus to Liverpool.

It only takes about 55 minutes to get from Manchester to Liverpool.

Chu Feng sat in the familiar window seat. The receding street lights formed lines, creating a gentle scenery under the night sky.

"Let me talk about our arrangements first."

Mourinho is used to using his free time to explain tactics. He pointed to the screen at the front of the bus and continued: "It's still a 4231 formation, but the positions have changed. Romelu will be the center forward, and Chu will play as the left winger."

"Because our defensive strength on the left side is limited, once Liverpool seizes the opportunity to suppress us, we will always be in a passive situation."

"That's what happened in the last game, so we have to change!"

Mourinho's deep voice echoed in the bus.

"It's similar to the tactics we used against Liverpool last season. We used a strong attack to suppress Liverpool and used Chu's personal ability to create explosive points, forcing Liverpool to divert their defensive resources."

The screen switched to the game footage.

On Liverpool's right flank.

Salah is responsible for holding the ball and organizing the game, while Arnold's forward runs are also extremely threatening.

If they can force the two players to retreat to defend, Manchester United will face less pressure on the left side, and then radiate the advantage to the entire midfield and frontcourt.

We can’t just play one wave against Liverpool, we have to gradually master the rhythm of the game.

Mourinho has been very sleepless lately.

Although Klopp has a high level of tactical attainments, Mourinho is not bad either!
When Conte ruled the Premier League with three central defenders, it was Mourinho who came up with the solution, and the major Premier League clubs followed suit and copied the answer.

Liverpool's tactics nowadays are very simple - the left and right wings are asymmetrical.

Taking advantage of the advantage created on the right side, he instantly moved to the other side, leaving Manchester United no time to reorganize their defense.

There is no need for Manchester United to think about how to solve the problem. They can just imitate Liverpool and establish an advantage on the flanks.

In fact, Mourinho knew Klopp would guess it.

But being able to guess does not mean that the problem can be solved.

"Chu, you have to put enough pressure on Liverpool and attract as many defensive players as possible, so that Liverpool will expose their defensive weaknesses."

Mourinho didn't ask whether it could be done because he believed Chu Feng had the ability.

From the first time they met, he knew that the greater the pressure Chu Feng was under, the greater the energy he could unleash.

Just like myself in the past.

Chu Feng withdrew his gaze from the screen, raised his eyes to the front of the bus, and nodded seriously: "I will."

Although he played as a center for a season, he did not forget his winger skills.

After all, there are many similar positions in football.

Besides, if he can't gain an advantage against Arnold, he might as well just retire!
Chu Feng still has this confidence.

Following Mourinho's detailed arrangements, the bus gradually drove towards Liverpool, the magnificent stadium under the night sky.
