The one hundred and seventy-third thing is a lot of grinding

The Champions League draw has made a lot of the headlines in England, but within Manchester United, the focus is still on the Premier League.

In the 34th round of the English Premier League, Manchester United played at home against Crystal Palace led by Alan Padu.

Manchester United will have a chance to win the championship in this round of the league, so all Manchester United fans are quite looking forward to this round of the league.

From the outside, it seems unlikely that Edwin Alan Padu's side will pose any threat to Manchester United at Old Trafford.

This season has been a rollercoaster ride.

At the start of the season, Palace were fifth in the table, but then the team's performance continued to be sluggish, and they suffered an embarrassing 14-game winless run before facing Manchester United.

And if they still can't win this time, then Palace will go 15 games without a win in a row – which certainly won't be a good thing for Alain Pardu's manager.

'There were a number of meetings before the West Ham game and we had very frank discussions in those meetings. Edwin Alain Pardu was also asked in his pre-match press conference about Palace's winless streak and he looked prepared.

"Are the players allowed to criticize me? Of course. If you can't be self-critical, say to the players every now and then: I made a mistake. Then you can't coach at this level. In fact, I've had many times in my coaching career, and this year too. ”

The English have conducted a self-examination.

However, fortunately, Crystal Palace has scored a lot of points in the first half of the season, although the current 38 points have not reached the theoretical relegation point, but seven points ahead of the third-to-last Norwich City, such an advantage in the league schedule with only a few games left, relegation is still very hopeful.

Crystal Palace are aiming for relegation, while Manchester United are certainly aiming for the title.

Commenting on this, Alain Pardu said: "Manchester United have been doing quite well this season and I would congratulate them. But we don't want them to lift the trophy on our shoulders, so we'll give it our all at Old Trafford and the United fans will be disappointed that they won't start celebrating their triumph in this round. ”

Alan Paddu's words were not listened to by too many United fans, or even if they did, they would mostly scoff at them.

In the eyes of the fans, the victory over Crystal Palace is just an easy thing for Manchester United, and the real key is the game on Leicester's side, if Leicester City loses this game to Swansea, or if the two are drawn, and Manchester United win at home to Crystal Palace, Manchester United will win the Premier League in advance!

Generally, until the last round of the league, all matches in the league will kick off at the same time.

But coincidentally, despite only 34 rounds of league games, Leicester City and Manchester United kick off at the same time.

Therefore, in addition to following their own game, Manchester United fans also need to look at the situation on Leicester's side.

Manchester was already in red before the game began, and in the run-up to winning the Premier League, the momentum of the United fans was so high that it completely overshadowed the limelight of their city rivals.

Outside Old Trafford was full of Manchester United fans singing and dancing.

Some fans wore their own league championship shirts, while others walked into Old Trafford with their families, young and old, waving flags as if they were coming to a party.

"Twenty-one!! Twenty-one!!! ”

Fans chant that number, and if United win the Premier League this season, the number of top flight titles will come to twenty-one!

"Manchester United have been strong this season, there is no team that can stop them, winning the title is only a matter of one round earlier or later, and the most optimistic scenario is that after the 34th round, Manchester United will bring the Barclays Premier League trophy into their own room of honor." In the commentary booth, Sky Sports' live broadcast team was already ready, and Andy Gray was also talking to the camera.

......

'We want to forget about the league title and base ourselves on our own game. Even if we win this game, we may not be able to win the championship right away, but this championship is already in our pocket, and we have a good meal, so we don't have to worry, even if we save it for the next game, we can still win the championship, as long as we can keep winning! ”

In the dressing room, Carlo Ancelotti admonished his players.

On the other hand, Alan Pardu was in the dressing room, using a tablet to connect to Sky Sports' live feed.

On the screen, Manchester United fans eagerly awaited the appearance of the league title, which was played in front of the Crystal Palace players.

Tactically, Alain Pardu had made numerous changes, but a fourteen-game winless streak left him feeling that it was no longer useful to tinker with tactics, so Alain Pardu decided to give the team a mental boost.

"See, Manchester United are already celebrating their upcoming league title."

"I'm already anticipating the news after the game."

"Manchester United beat Crystal Palace to claim their 21st top-flight title."

"Manchester United easily defeated Crystal Palace and won the league early."

Alain Pardu uttered the above words with a mocking smile.

"Think about it, no matter what version of the newspaper we're in, we're all damn backdrops!!"

"I don't want to be a backdrop!!!

"I don't want to be a loser who is written in the newspaper every day and talked about !!"

Alain Pardu flailed his fist and foamed at the mouth. I don't know how much effect his speech had.

.....

By the time the players walked out of the tunnel, the Premier League trophy was already on the doorstep of Old Trafford, and all the United players were staring intently ahead, even as they passed by the trophy.

Because on the football field, there is such a small taboo, that is, the team that stares at the trophy before the big game is always unlucky.

Maybe a Manchester United player broke the taboo, maybe Alain Paddu's speech played a role, or both.

In the first half, until the 40th minute, Manchester United failed to score and the score was still 0-0.

Despite the absolute dominance of the Reds and the creation of several good chances, they failed to capitalise on any of them, either being saved by the goalkeeper or hitting the crossbar.

In the 42nd minute, Old Trafford suddenly burst into boos, startling the Manchester United players who were attacking with the ball, but they reacted quickly.

It seems that Leicester City have scored, and the fans are reminding them.

Strange to say, as soon as Leicester City scored, Manchester United scored immediately.

In first-half stoppage time, Li Qingshan fired a long-range shot from outside the box through the door of Crystal Palace.

Manchester United scored another goal in the second half through Wayne Rooney to beat Crystal Palace 2-0.

However, Leicester City swept away Swansea 4-0 at home, and it seems that the time for United to win the Premier League will be delayed even longer.
