Chapter 258
Li Shiguang finally gave up the idea of calling Ferguson to ask for a lower price.
It was not because he was afraid that this stubborn old man would scold him on the phone.
The main reason was that Ferguson was definitely unwilling to sell Ronaldo now, and Ronaldo and the old man were also in a honeymoon period. Even if he used some insidious means, the Portuguese would probably not want to leave Manchester United.
After a little fantasy, Li Shiguang put these unrealistic ideas behind him and left the office..
····
Two days later.
Leeds United ushered in the penultimate league game of the season at home.
Their opponent Middlesbrough had completed the relegation task in advance and was basically in a state of no desire.
Facing such an opponent, Leeds United did not spend much effort.
With Ibrahimovic and Podolski scoring one goal each in the first and second half, they defeated the opponent 2:0 neatly.
After the game, Li Shiguang did not get the news he expected.
In the Manchester derby, Manchester United beat their city rivals 1:0 away from home.
For Li Shiguang and Leeds United, whether they can gain something this season depends on the make-up match between Chelsea and Manchester United five days later!
····
May 10.
Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea and Manchester United ushered in their third confrontation in this month.
Because this game is related to the final ownership of the championship this season.
Once Manchester United wins away, they will win the Premier League championship trophy one round ahead of schedule, which has been absent for three years.
It is precisely because of this reason that the popularity and discussion about this game have been high in these five days.
Originally, for Chelsea, they have no desire in the league now, so they can let Manchester United go.
But as Mourinho said in an interview before.
Both he and Chelsea's players have the most basic professional qualities. Winning every game is their eternal goal, so they will not let the game go!
As for whether there is resentment in the statement that they will not let the game go because of being eliminated by Manchester United in the Champions League semi-finals, outsiders don't know.
Li Shiguang watched this game at home.
When he saw Chelsea's starting lineup.
Li Shiguang really cried.
Mourinho did it, he really didn't want to let the game go!
Except for Drogba, who was too physically exhausted due to the tight schedule, he was not sent to the field by Mourinho, the other players were exactly the same as the Champions League semi-final against Manchester United seven days ago.
Mourinho clearly didn't want Ferguson to win the Premier League championship trophy on his own turf.
In contrast, Ferguson, who had the same schedule, seemed to be a little hesitant. In order to ensure the health of the players, Ronaldo and Rooney, who had started in the recent games and played for 90 minutes or even 120 minutes, were put on the bench by him.
Dong Fangzhuo and Solskjaer replaced them.
To be honest, Li Shiguang hasn't felt such a tense atmosphere for a long time, mainly because he only watched the game at home and didn't experience it in person.
From the moment the referee Wade blew the whistle, Li Shiguang's eyes never moved away from the TV.
When Manchester United got a better offensive opportunity, Shakira, who was leaning on Li Shiguang, could even feel his suddenly tense muscles.
Fortunately, defense is Chelsea's specialty, not to mention it's at home.
After 45 minutes of the first half, the two sides entered the halftime break with a score of 0:0.
15 minutes later, the two sides returned to the court and changed sides.
The two sides kept the score of 0:0 until the 65th minute, and Ferguson, who couldn't bear it anymore, finally began to try to change.
He replaced Heinze and Dong Fangzhuo, who had not performed well in the offensive end since the start, with Carrick and Rooney in succession, hoping to score in the last 20 minutes of the game.
But the facts proved that in the Premier League, as long as Mourinho wanted to defend, few teams could break through Chelsea's defense.
Until the 5th minute of stoppage time, Wade blew the whistle to end the game.
Manchester United did not score a single goal.
The two sides ended the make-up match with a score of 0:0.
While Mourinho fulfilled his promise not to let the water go, he also left the suspense of the Premier League championship this season to the last round!
And Li Shiguang's nervous mood became relaxed as Wade's whistle came from the TV.
Recalling the moment when the whistle sounded, Ferguson's gloomy face and the water bottle thrown far away by him, Li Shiguang wanted to laugh.
The most funny thing is that MourinhoNeo, as soon as the game was over, he took the initiative to walk to the bench where Ferguson was.
Although they only got a draw, he seemed to have won Manchester United, and he took the initiative to extend his hand to Ferguson with a weird smile on his face.
The old Sir Alex Ferguson, who was livid, was so angry that he almost lost his temper on the spot.
····
"Fortunately, Chelsea is strong and has left us a glimmer of hope..."
Recalling the thrilling scenes in the game just now, Li Shiguang muttered to himself.
Standing up and rubbing his shoulders that seemed a little sore because he had been sitting in the same position for too long, Shakira saw a smile on Li Shiguang's face for the first time tonight.
But this smile was only fleeting.
Li Shiguang knew that the real test for himself and Leeds United would be the last league game at home against Sheffield United three days later!
After Manchester United only scored 1 point in this game.
At this time, Manchester United and Leeds United have the same 90 points, but they are ranked second in the standings due to their goal difference disadvantage.
That is to say, as long as Leeds United wins the last game. Or if they and Manchester United both lose or draw, but Leeds United does not lose more than 2 goals, they will both win the 2006-2007 English Premier League championship trophy!
And there is also a super coincidence, which also creates suspense for these two championship battles.
That is the two games between Manchester United VS West Ham United and Leeds United VS Sheffield United.
Not only does it determine the ownership of the championship, but it also determines which team will be relegated this season.
Because West Ham United and Sheffield United also have 38 points at this time, ranking third from the bottom and fourth from the bottom in the standings.
Whoever loses in the last round will be relegated!
This also means that West Ham United and Sheffield United will also fight hard in this game!
To be honest, these two controversial and topical games have already set off a storm in English football before they even started...
