408 The fate of the top three in the finale

After the game, Aldridge and Vialli turned their heads and walked away without shaking each other's hands.

According to the situation in the final stage of the game, it is good that the two did not clash again.

Vialli almost lost his position, Chelsea had no space to attack, and Millwall played several counter-attacks in a row and almost conceded a goal, which was not what he expected, and against a stronger Millwall, once the opponent strengthened the defense and weakened the attack, Chelsea's chances of scoring dropped significantly.

Aldridge also didn't want to get entangled with the other side, and he knew this feeling very well, especially at the beginning of last season, when Millwall was confronted with bus tactics in a row, he was almost crazy on the sidelines.

At the post-match press conference, Aldridge arrived a little later, he first went to the dressing room to praise the players, let them calm down again, don't care about the score on Arsenal's side, both teams won, but Arsenal is a crazy win, the difference in goal difference is no longer a goal that can be pulled back, but it doesn't matter, as long as they win the last two games, Millwall can reach the top of the Premier League again.

In an interview, Vialli angrily denounced Millwall's negative attitude towards the game after being sent off, saying that even if such a team won the league title, it would be a shame.

When Aldrich sat down at the press conference, reporters relayed Vialli's remarks to him in the same way, so that he could respond.

'I don't have much to say about Vialli's comments, just the question is, what would Chelsea do if Chelsea were 3-1 up and had one less player with 23 minutes remaining?

The reporters at the scene smiled.

In fact, Vialli's angry rebuke just now is more like Kevin Keegan's emotional out-of-control after he became angry.

I want to win so much!

Not only do I want to win too much, but also. Can't afford to lose!

After losing this game. Chelsea have all but missed out on next season's Champions League.

They are three points behind Manchester United. There is no chance of catching up with the top three teams on goal difference, and even if they lose one of the last two rounds of the top three, win one, and Chelsea have won both games, they have no chance of finishing in the top three.

'Can you talk about Millwall's penalty and the red card?'

The subtext is: referee!

Aldridge said seriously: "The penalty is fine, the red card is fine, the referee was very fair today, I think he did well. ”

On the issue of referees. It has always been a no-go area for the manager, but since someone asked, Aldridge replied diplomatically that as long as the FA does not impose a penalty on Materazzi's suspension, he has nothing to complain about.

"Materazzi's tackle was towards the ball, but Zola moved faster, Materazzi couldn't close his foot and brought down the opponent, the referee's red card was the correct decision, but it was not a malicious foul or unsportsmanship."

Aldridge's words were to commute Materazzi's sentence so that the FA would not make a big fuss.

"In the same round. Charlton Athletic drew with Blackburn Rover, declaring them relegated from Nottingham Forest two games earlier. Everton have come ashore, will you easily win against them in the next round? ”

Aldrich came as a surprise to Aldrich.

Charlton and Blackburn to a draw?

Hehe, both lose-lose.

Whoever wins, there is still a chance of relegation, but after a draw, the two teams will join hands and be relegated to League One.

Aldridge said lightly: "Maybe it's good news, maybe not, Everton can face the game without pressure, but after all, the next game is their last home game of the season, they will fight for the fans, if we despise them because of the opponent's relegation success, maybe we will have to leave Goodison Park with sadness after 90 minutes." ”

With two rounds left in the Premier League, there seems to be a god above the English sky arguing about who can have the most laugh.

Fleet Street is engaged in all sorts of debates, speculations, and rehearsals for the championship by simulating any outcome of the five games of the three teams competing for the title in the last two rounds.

Millwall took out Chelsea and kicked them out of the title race, and they are on par with Arsenal in terms of title probability, with Manchester United in hot pursuit, and it is highly anticipated how the most exciting season in history will end!

On 7 May, Millwall's squad arrived at Liverpool and arrived at Goodison Park to challenge Everton.

United regained top of the table with a hard-fought 1-0 win away at Middlesbrough in the league the day before, but no United fans were surprised by the result, watching the other two games live with a heavy heart, praying for a Waterloo for both Millwall and Arsenal.

Before the game, Aldridge cheered up the whole team in the dressing room.

"I know it's a difficult season, the season didn't start, we had six important members leave, at the beginning of the season, there were a few players who could only sit in the stands to cheer for us, but, from another angle, it is this kind of ordeal, predicament, that makes our willpower more tenacious, after overcoming all kinds of difficulties, we still maintain the hope of winning the championship, the Champions Cup is unfortunately out, it doesn't matter, we will make a comeback next season, but now is not the time to relax, there are only three games left in this season, each one, is the final! In such a big scene, show your fighting spirit to work hard for a season, completely release the determination of the strong, reward yourself with the championship, let yourself have a pleasant holiday, and even look back on it many years later, and be able to enjoy it secretly in your heart. ”

As soon as Aldridge finished speaking, all the players in the dressing room stared at him with strange eyes.

Aldridge touched his nose and asked curiously, "Is there something on my face?" Why are you looking at me like this? ”

He also touched his mouth, thinking that he had forgotten to wipe his mouth after eating.

Schneider said with a strange expression: "Boss, are you questioning our fighting spirit?" ”

Everyone else nodded.

They are not small children.

With three games remaining, it was crucial to win them all and lift two trophies, two of the most important trophies in England's domestic competition.

Who the wouldn't want to add a glorious record to the honor books?

Although they have won the FA Cup and the league title.

But when they retire, who doesn't want the honor book to be filled with awards of all sizes?

Aldrich raised his hand in surrender. Laughing: "Okay." I apologize. When what I just said was all, but I hope you don't give me a chance to get mad. ”

The whole team smiled, then put away their smiles, their eyes greedy and hungry like hungry beasts.

At Goodison Park, Millwall's players showed a clear level of fighting spirit over their opponents.

Everton had just been relegated, and although they were in the last home game, they were limited in their struggle, and they fought hard in the previous stage to grab points and relegation. When the goal is achieved, the spirit is relaxed.

As long as Millwall doesn't drop the chain and underestimate the enemy, they won't give the opponent any chance when they play away.

In the 21st minute of the first half, Henry received a pass from Nedved, pulled the ball horizontally on the spot, turned and then started, shook off the angle and volleyed on the edge of the penalty area, and the ball rolled against the turf into the bottom right corner of the goal.

'Thierry Henry, who was on a hot spot, scored and he started playing as a centre-forward under Hall and he was getting better and better because of him. Ruud van Nistelrooy sat on the bench and seemed reasonable. ”

Before the end of the first half. Glen Charneche was saved from distance and Larsson followed up with a follow-up effort to give Millwall a 2-0 lead over Everton.

Walking into the dressing room at halftime, Aldridge asked the team to close the second half, two goals in hand, don't score an inch, as long as they don't concede goals, don't reduce the number of players, they can meet the Premier League finale in a better state.

Everton's performance continued to improve in the second half, but Millwall took the initiative to control the tempo and the pace of the game began to slow down until the final period, when Nedved added the icing on the cake with a heavy shot from the outside to secure a 3-0 away victory.

Just after the game, Aldridge got an unexpected message.

Arsenal, lost.

Who is the opponent who loses?

Yorkshire's White Roses: Leeds United!

Even though the Premier League is about to enter the final game, Leeds United can't go up or down, and sit firmly in the fifth place in the standings, but Leeds United has become the focus of England.

O'Reilly became a man of the storm for a while, and Leeds United, the young Praetorian Guard under his command, also became the focus.

First draw with Millwall, then draw with Manchester United, and then at such a critical time, the leader Arsenal was knocked out in one fell swoop.

It's all said that Chelsea are giant killers, and Leeds United have knocked three different league leaders off the top three times in just one month.

With the rise of Manchester United's 92 class and Millwall's 95 class, coupled with Arsene Wenger's Arsenal, which has also begun to update and boldly use young people, Leeds United has sprung up again this season, and Fleet Street has begun a debate on "whether the model of young people as the team + excellent coach can achieve success more quickly"!

The 37th round of the Premier League is over.

Lions fans rejoice.

Millwall dominate the top of the table.

The flame of hope burns brightly in the hearts of Red Devils fans.

Before the 37th round, Manchester United were third, and now, Manchester United are second, two points behind Millwall and one point ahead of Arsenal, as long as Arsenal can go unbeaten at the Lions' Den in the last round, Manchester United win at Old Trafford, and the league title is still likely to come to Old Trafford.

Chelsea fans were devastated.

Originally not expecting to enter next season's Champions League, but the result of Arsenal's defeat could have rekindled their hopes, but Chelsea themselves did not compete, in the same round of the London derby, in the White Hart Lane 2:2 by Tottenham, Chelsea 4 points away from Arsenal directly announced the end of the league, next season in the League Cup, if they can win Tottenham, only 2 points away from Arsenal

Ahead of the Premier League's final game, the title race has become clear.

Millwall are two points ahead of Manchester United and three ahead of Arsenal.

The goal difference is the same as Manchester United, with Arsenal leading Manchester United by one.

Fleet Street was frantic with excitement, and the final round of the game was still confusing for them.

Millwall won, winning the title.

Millwall won't win, Manchester United won, Manchester United won.

Millwall draws, Manchester United are winless, Millwall win the title.

Millwall lost, Manchester United did not win, Arsenal won the championship!

The fate of the top three is in Millwall's hands.

Arsenal's title hopes are the slimmer, while Manchester United will certainly be hoping that Arsenal can step up their efforts to finish or draw against Millwall.

On May 15, the final match of the Premier League kicked off.

The relegated team has been selected ahead of schedule and no one cares.

The news that Premier League champions Blackburn Rovers four years ago were relegated to League One is also out of date.

Nottingham Forest and Charlton Athletic have not been able to stay at the top level for another season.

The finale, the all-England focused game, bearing the brunt, the London derby!

Millwall take on defending champions Arsenal at the Lions' Den!

Who's the hand of the deer will be known in 90 minutes! (To be continued......)
