Chapter 415 Premier League Prosperity
"I regret the final result of the game, because we should have won this game, but now we only got one point, which is definitely not a reasonable score."
In the press conference hall of Emirates Stadium, Arsenal coach Wenger, who played at home, could not hide his disappointment because he tied with Chelsea at Emirates Stadium, which led to Arsenal being two points wide by Tottenham Hotspur. At the same time, Arsenal was one point behind Liverpool, fourth in the league.
Of course, with the last round left in the league, no one dares to say that they must be sure to win, but in the next round, what Arsenal has to face is the East London team West Ham United, which is determined to relegate, which is also a tough battle.
Liverpool's opponent is to challenge Reading away, which is not an easy game, because Reading is currently striving for the UEFA Cup next season. If it enters the UEFA Cup, it will undoubtedly be the glory of everyone in Reading, so this game will definitely be the death.
Wenger is unhappy with the result of the game, and Mourinho himself will not be happy.
"I always felt that the penalty kick and red card in the first half was a stupid misjudgment. I don't know why the referee made such a mistake in such an important game, because this penalty kick not only left us one less for nearly an hour, but also made us tragically reversed by Manchester United."
Mourinho spoke a little calmly, but his tone was very sad and angry, because after the draw in this game, Chelsea scored the same points as Manchester United, but unfortunately, they lost 11 goals in goal difference, so they were forced to rank second. If they could not defeat Tottenham Hotspur in the last round, they could only watch Manchester United win the championship.
Of course, even if you defeat Tottenham Hotspur, it depends on Manchester United's expression to be accurate.
The turning point of this game at Emirates Stadium occurred in the 39th minute of the first half. Baptista rushed into the penalty area from outside the penalty area, surpassing Carvalho to form a single shot. Carvalho made a foot from behind and made a foul on Baptista. The referee gave a red card and awarded a penalty. Gilberto Silva scored in one fell swoop. He has scored seven penalty kicks this season.
Mourinho was very dissatisfied with such a penalty. He thought it was a misjudgment. Carvalho was obviously an excellent steal, not a foul. Why should he be awarded a penalty and a red card?
From the continuous replays of Sky TV, no one can tell whether it was a foul, but Carvalho made an action that obviously violated the opponent from behind, which was inappropriate from any perspective, especially considering that Baptista had already formed a single shot at that time, perhaps the referee made such a penalty based on this consideration.
"I have to congratulate Manchester United on their final ranking first, but that's not a manifestation of their strength, but someone helps them. Of course, these may not be important anymore, because the game has ended. If they win the championship in the end, I will still congratulate them and congratulate them."
When he said this, Mourinho shook his head hard, "But I won't admit that they are better than us. On the contrary, I still think that my players are heroes and the best players in the Premier League all season. We have shown our fighting spirit. I believe that in the last round, we will still do our best to defeat our opponents."
"Because this is the only way we can maintain our dignity," Mourinho said very seriously.
The reporters on the scene paid attention to the Portuguese's words and asked whether he would be affected by the previous League Cup finals in the last round of away challenge to Tottenham Hotspur and meet Ye Qiu again. Mourinho firmly denied this and said that his team would definitely win.
"I said before that the League Cup final is not a fair game, because our opponents regard the League Cup final as the only pursuit, and we don't have the desire to compete for the League Cup, so they tried their best and we had to be distracted by the league and the Champions League, which is obviously unfair to us."
"But for this league game a week later, we have to win. This is our last game of the season. We only have the hope of winning the league championship when we win. Therefore, all of us will fight for this game. We will do our best and do our best to defeat our opponents at Stamford Bridge Stadium."
Some journalists do not agree with Mourinho's confidence and mentioned that Chelsea may have achieved nothing on four fronts this season, and Mourinho refuted this.
"When we are discussing a team that is very successful and great, who can tell you which championships they won in which season? What we are talking about is their performance on the football field, and I don't think our team lacks motivation at all. I don't think the responsibility lies with me and the players when we lose the game."
After a pause, Mourinho spoke again, "I think some people don't want to see Chelsea win and see us win four consecutive championships, so, anyway, for this season, I think we're successful.
Wenger obviously disagrees with Mourinho's words.
"The rules of the standings clearly show a lot of problems. Teams with excellent offensive skills should win the championship, so I think Manchester United deserves it, so if I choose, I will choose Manchester United, but I don't expect Ferguson to give me a bottle of red wine because he is a well-known miser."
"I think Chelsea and Manchester United are both strong teams, but in some very important games and when points are needed, Manchester United did not expose the problem, while Chelsea is the opposite. This team has always been in a turmoil. Whether in the stadium or in the media, they have never stopped. They always want to show off and be the protagonist."
Wenger's words immediately made all the reporters in the audience uproar, because they should be Mourinho.
"I think losing the League Cup has a great impact on Chelsea's championship, because they happened to be in a stalemate with Manchester United at that time, and losing the League Cup final has greatly affected Chelsea's morale. Although they have been in the league leader for a long time since then, they have never been able to widen the gap with Manchester United."
Regarding the current situation of the team, Wenger also said that the team will play in the last round of the Premier League.
"I have to admit that we are at a disadvantage in the top four league games, but I don't think we have no hope at all, because all the pressure is on Tottenham Hotspur, and they are going to challenge Chelsea away, the latter is the strongest team in the Premier League this season, and in order to compete for the championship, Chelsea will definitely do their best."
"I think what we need to do most now is not to think about whether Tottenham Hotspur will win or whether Liverpool will lose. What we should consider more is our opponents in the next round. Only by defeating our opponents can we be qualified to talk about the top four in the league. This is the case with football matches, anything can happen.
All reporters can clearly feel the pressure on Wenger and Mourinho, because the Premier League this season is in an even unprecedented chaotic stage, and they are all in a mess.
Currently, the top two Manchester United and Chelsea have the same points, but Manchester United ranks as the league leader with a goal difference. However, in the last round, Manchester United faces Portsmouth, who is determined to compete for the League Cup.
This team is a typical home dragon this season. There is no need to say much about the strong teams that fall at their home court. Even Tottenham Hotspurs has a difficult time playing, so there is a possibility of a capsized man in Manchester United. In order to compete for the League Cup qualification, Portsmouth's crazy spirit is made.
If Manchester United is in a difficult situation, then Chelsea's situation is undoubtedly even more troublesome, because they are facing Tottenham Hotspur, who is determined to keep the third place in the league. This is Tottenham Hotspur's best ranking in Premier League history. Ye Qiu and his team will inevitably fight to keep the third place in the league.
In the last round, whoever loses or Chelsea will lose the championship. If the points of the two teams are still the same after the end of the last round, then Manchester United will win the championship with a goal difference, so for Chelsea, they will definitely win in the last round.
The situation between Arsenal and Liverpool is also not optimistic. Liverpool plays Reading away, and Arsenal plays against West Ham United at home. Reading has good results at home and away, and the team's playing style and style are relatively tough, but Liverpool's style is also very tough. It is hard to say who wins and loses between the two teams.
But when Arsenal met West Ham United, the situation was more troublesome, because in the first game of the two sides this season, Arsenal lost this game at the last moment of the game. So even if he was in the Emirates Stadium this time, it is hard to say whether the Gunners can win against West Ham United, which is determined to relegate.
Among the three teams that are qualified to compete for third and fourth in the league, Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool and Arsenal are only one point apart. No one is insured and whoever loses may change their current league rankings. Relatively speaking, Tottenham Hotspur's situation is more favorable because relying on its strong goal difference advantage, as long as it draws, it can ensure the qualification for the Champions League next season.
But relatively speaking, everyone is not optimistic about Arsenal, not only because the team is currently ranked the lowest, but also because Arsenal's ability to play tough battles is indeed relatively poor.
As Ye Qiu said before, Wenger's Arsenal has always been accompanied by the glorious tradition of losing chains at the last critical moment. There is no need to say that the distance is far away. In recent times, in this game, in the past half an hour, you not only failed to score more goals, but you were equalized by Chelsea's goal in the last moment.
What else can this make people say? Should you say you are not lucky? Or is Chelsea too strong?
These are obviously not excuses. The only reasonable explanation is that Arsenal's ability to play tough battles is indeed very poor, and he always loses his chains at critical moments. However, in contrast, the other teams, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool, performed well in some key games and had the confidence to play tough battles. At least not like Arsenal, he was not as confident as he even played mid- and lower-level teams.
Tottenham Hotspur has played more tough battles this season. Although there have been 0 away games to humiliate Arsenal and lose to Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur has been rushing up from the relegation zone, relying on tough battles after tough battles and teams’ battles after teams.
If you still say that this team cannot fight a tough battle, there is nothing to say.
But that's it, but the situation in the Premier League is now linked. If Tottenham meets mid- and lower-level Premier League teams, it will be almost certain to win. But the problem is that Tottenham meets Mourinho's Chelsea now, and the Blues are also determined to win the championship and will definitely do their best. It's hard to say who wins and loses.
So in the news media the next day, there were almost long interpretations everywhere, but no one could give a rough idea. In the end, I can only say that the Premier League has entered an unprecedented chaos.
Times columnist Martin Samuel described in his column, "The rise of Tottenham Hotspur this season is like when they beat Chelsea and won the League Cup. It completely disrupted the history and order of Britain over the past years and brought the Premier League into an unprecedented new situation."
"No one can guarantee whether Tottenham Hotspur can still hold on to their outstanding performance in the last round, because they are facing Chelsea, but no matter what, Tottenham Hotspur's outstanding performance this season has awakened a wake-up call for the top teams in the Premier League, telling them that from now on the Premier League, the Premier League will no longer tolerate their attitude of being scrambling to die. From now on, if you want to achieve something in the Premier League, you have to rely on your strength to speak."
The Premier League was indeed the stage of the traditional semi-finals. No matter how bad the performance was, at least there was no problem in being qualified for the Champions League, but the situation is different now. Tottenham Hotspur's strong rise this season, coupled with Ye Qiu's identity as Tottenham Hotspur boss and head coach, this team has become an emerging and powerful force in the Premier League, and no one dares to underestimate it.
Many people also believe that the Premier League is about to usher in its heyday, and some have even begun to predict that the Premier League will likely reappear in the seven sisters period of the Serie A, and that European football will usher in the Premier League.
Ye Qiu didn't talk much about the last round of the league.
After playing the 37th round of the league, he still gave the team a day off as usual. No one needed to come to the training base, but instead took a break and adjusted his body and mind. After returning to the team on Tuesday, his training was still the same as usual, focusing on restoring and adjusting training, and then he never mentioned the last round of the league.
Not only did he not mention it himself, but no one at the Siegwell training base mentioned the last round of the league. Even Tottenham Hotspur rejected interview requests from all reporters and media to avoid players being involved in the news battle that was hyped in England. Ye Qiu also called on all players to concentrate and focus on preparing for the game.
Even on Wednesday, Ye Qiuyuqin gave up the morning training class and invited all the first team players to board the bus and go north to visit the Theobord training base in southern Hertfordshire.
The season is about to end, and the first-team training area of Theobord Training Base has entered the final final stage. Many instruments, equipment and venues are ready, and all facilities in the training building have been fully completed.
Because some staff at Theobord training base will continue to use the employees of the Ziegwell training base, the team is already working on recruitment matters in terms of manpower, and the main targets are Tottenham Hotspur fans.
As for some of the more advanced facilities in the training base, employees have high requirements. They usually invite professionals to work in the training base from outside. This is also Ye Qiu's usual style. He handed over professional matters to professionals to take charge. If it really doesn't work, it will be handed over to Eliza Moon.
This girl is the most powerful versatile player. Ye Qiu even doubts that there is nothing she can't do. Leaving anything to her can help you get organized, so Ye Qiu is still very at ease with the club management.
The team visited the Theobord training base, and the club's news department staff followed along the way and took some photos. These photos will not be handed over to outside reporters, but will be published on Tottenham Hotspur's official website.
At present, Tottenham Hotspur’s official website, fan forum and team AP app applications have been made, and the club is also focusing on promoting it. One very important point is that every team’s action will take some photos and videos with the team’s employees, and then select them and put them on the official website and synchronize them with the mobile APp, so that all fans and users around the world who follow Tottenham Hotspur’s official website and installed mobile APpR can see it as soon as possible.
Every once in a while, Tottenham Hotspur will hold some fan activities. For example, not long ago, Tottenham Hotspur launched an event where fans around the world can upload their own kicking videos and videos on HTHHP using their mobile phones, the Internet or other methods, and link them to the club's official website and AP app to allow all fans to vote.
The top ten fans who received the last fans' recognition will get the first time next season to go to Tottenham Hotspur's new training base to train with the team! The opportunity is at least one week. If you perform well, it may be extended to one month, or even stay directly with the team.
After Tottenham Hotspur promotion and publicity, this event also attracted some sponsorships, which caused a huge response. At least in the UK and Europe, many young fans hope to have the opportunity to get Ye Qiu's professional tips and get the opportunity to play football with stars such as Fanny, Ribery, Messi, and Beckham.
All of this is part of the team's planned marketing and promotion, but these are all soft power. There is a saying that you must be strong by yourself. Tottenham Hotspur is really a long way to go from top teams and even giants, and this season has only started one start.
But there is no doubt that all the first-team players, after visiting the Theobord training base in person, experiencing the various modern and advanced facilities of this training base, even advanced training concepts, all praised them, and were full of confidence and hope for the team's future prospects.
