In the English top flight, the top two teams reached the final round with a tie, the last time it was 40 years ago, in 1968, Manchester City and Manchester United were equal on points before the final round, Manchester City led by the advantage of goals per game, in the final round, Manchester City beat Newcastle 4-3, Manchester United lost 1-2 to Sunderland, the league title was taken by Manchester City, but the Red Devils went on to win the European Champions Cup that year.

Forty years later, the title was once again taken by a team half a position ahead of the final round, with the goal difference giving United the initiative and they got the job done at JJB Stadium. Although Grant said before the game, "Sometimes you can score more goals against the weaker team, but the same points means the same strength", the rules will not be changed at the last minute, and Manchester United with more goals deserves the final title.

Chelsea dropped points in the end, and the phenomenon of equalizing the number of winners and runners-up did not happen again after 19 years, but it has to be admitted that United's huge goal difference advantage before the final round was the reason for their psychological and physical initiative. In terms of goals conceded, Manchester United have 22 and Chelsea have 26, which is not much difference, but the Red Devils have scored 80 goals, 15 more than the Blues, and Ferguson's side defensively are better, but stronger are attacking.

Speaking before the game, Ferguson once again expressed his pride, saying that it was something in the Red Devils' blood, and now it has given him a real sweetness. 'We've always had our own belief that Manchester United's attacking style is the way football should be, that's our tradition.

Despite the experience of "Italianization" in the knockout rounds of the Champions League, Manchester United's attacking firepower in the Premier League is unmatched. The last three seasons. The Red Devils have scored a decent number of goals, with United trailing champions Chelsea by eight points in the 05/06 season. But the number of goals scored was only one less (71 to 72); Last season, United scored 83 goals, 19 more than runners-up Chelsea, and this season, the Reds have scored 80 goals equally.

The role of the trident is crucial in United's attacking system, with the combined number of goals from Jonk (31), Cristiano Ronaldo (22) and Carlos Tevez (14) in the league. It accounts for 71% of Manchester United's total goals. Ferguson brought in the Argentine in the summer and put together a third point of attack in addition to Cristiano Ronaldo and Jonck, which made United's attack even more unguardable. There are these three "strong points" in the front court. Goals can be expected at any time.

The free running of attackers up front is another feature of Manchester United's attack. Although Rooney and Tevez are forwards, they rarely stand on the front line, and it is common for them to retreat to the midfield and insert the attack like a midfielder; Jonk's position is even more unpredictable. Giggs, Nani or Park Ji-sung. He is also often undecided in the rotation of the two wings and the middle.

Manchester United's style of play, divided into two with the midline as the boundary, the backfield pays attention to discipline and positioning, who runs to where there are strict rules, but the front court is a free sky, Ronaldo, Jonk and others are mostly improvised, according to the operation and needs of the ball on the field to run, several attackers do not have a clear division of labor. Sometimes you can be a striker, sometimes I'm on top, and there's no dead law about who's in the middle and who's on the wing. When playing on one side, the full-backs on the other side of Manchester United sometimes come to support regardless of their position, forming a huge local numerical advantage, this kind of strict discipline at the back and an eclectic style of play in the front court is reminiscent of Ferguson's evaluation of two types of players: "For Fletcher like this, you have to scold him if you take one more step, but like Jonk and Ronaldo, you should let him take it casually!" ”

This kind of "random running" of several people in Manchester United's front field is more free than Arsenal, and it is incomparable to Chelsea, which has a rigid running position. The Gunners pay attention to local small interspersed positions, but like the Red Devils, they run at will regardless of front and back, left and right, which is indeed a unique landscape in the Premier League, and most Premier League opponents who pay attention to fixed attacking routines, Manchester United's attack that relies more on the attacker's free play is a bit of a "no trick to win".

The attackers up front are free to move and rely on two central midfielders to steer the direction. Paul Scholes and Michael Carrick are both known for their passing, and they can quickly put the ball in a favorable position, allowing Ronaldo, Rooney and others to enter the attacking situation. In a sense, Paul Scholes and Michael Carrick are the ones who really decide where United attack, and they go from 'control' to 'attack' by sending the ball where they are most likely to have their chances, to the feet of the best guys. Therefore, Manchester United's central midfielders are particularly particular about their passing ability, which is why Hargreaves has gradually cedered his main position and Carrick has been restored.

Ferguson had predicted an 85-point win and the race for the Premier League title proved to be more fierce than expected this season, with United reaching 87 points to lift the trophy for the 10th time in Chelsea's history in the final round. The team won the Golden Boot and some interesting numbers in Premier League history were rewritten tonight.

First of all, Jonk has broken the cycle of "winning the Golden Boot and missing the title" in the Premier League in a row, after 15 years of winning the championship and the Golden Boot 10 times, and now the win-win ratio has increased to 6. It is worth mentioning that Manchester United accounted for 3 of the 6 rounds, and the number of times Manchester United won the Golden Boot was also 3, and the Red Devils have another championship formula: winning the Golden Boot will win the championship. Manchester United was originally strong as a whole, and with one more individual who scored top goals, it was logical to win the championship.

The second is to break the law of "Christmas champions finally win the championship" in the past four seasons. Arsenal in '04, Chelsea in '05 and '06 and Manchester United last season all led the way to the end, without giving the pursuing team any chance, and the suspense seemed to be a little less for the fans. This year was different, with Arsenal securing the Christmas title ahead of schedule, with Manchester United taking the lead in the 30th round after chasing for most of the season, and finally withstood Chelsea's thrilling attack. With twists and turns, the audience is both nervous and enjoyable.

Chasing and leading, the two melodies of Manchester United's road to the title lead to another championship trait, whether it is "playing the country" or "protecting the country", the Red Devils have shown super ability, can keep the pace of progress in the stalemate and drag down the opponent. Taking this season as an example, rounds 16-28 were the most competitive period for Manchester United Arsenal, with the Red Devils Gunners taking the lead alternately in the top two of the table, Arsene Wenger taking the lead nine times in the 13 rounds with the advantage accumulated over most of the season, and Manchester United snatching the lead four times.

In the 29th round, Manchester United won three points in the supplementary match and overtook again. It was a watershed moment for the title, with the Reds holding the lead until the end in the 30th-38th rounds, while the Gunners were completely defeated. In the end, he could only finish third in the league and ended another season with the big four empty. Chelsea surged on Manchester United in the closing stages, notably a 2-1 home win over the Red Devils in the 36th round to level points, and Ferguson and his players withstood pressure in the crucial final two rounds to win back-to-back victories over West Ham and Wigan to prevent the Blues from making a comeback.

After the final round of the Premier League, Ferguson lifted his 10th Premier League trophy, and at the award ceremony, the 66-year-old sang the tune of "We Are the Champions" with his players like a young man. In an interview after the game. Ferguson has set a goal for the short and long, the short being the Champions League final in 10 days, and the long being pulling Liverpool off the "championship" throne.

Count in the English First Division. Manchester United have won 17 top-flight titles in their history, just one away from Liverpool (18), and Ferguson believes there is a good chance of equaling or even surpassing the Reds. 'I think that day will come, this Manchester United team is very young. This Manchester United team is young. They still have a lot of potential. ”

When it comes to his achievements as Manchester United manager, Ferguson is modest. 'I'm proud to have survived for so long, but I'm at a great club and that makes it easier for me to achieve than other coaches.

Speaking about the game, Ferguson admitted Wigan put a lot of pressure on United. 'It was a tough game, we played well most of the time, but there were nerve-wracking moments.

Scholes had a foul in the first half. He was almost sent off for a second yellow card, but referee Bennett showed mercy. Just a verbal warning was given, and Ferguson was also sweating on the sidelines. 'We were a bit lucky, Scholes' first tackle wasn't necessary, he deserved a card, but the second foul wasn't a big deal.

'We have to focus on our game and I think we did it, in the second half we controlled the situation and I'm happy for the second goal, Giggs won 10 Premier League titles today, which was fantastic.'

Speaking about the Champions League final against Chelsea in 10 days' time, Ferguson felt the game set the stage for the final match. 'It would be a big blow if we lost the title today, but happily we will go to the Champions League final with high morale.'

Manchester United finally lifted their 10th Premier League title with JJB, and after seven seasons, Alex Ferguson finally led his boys to successfully defend the title. After Ryan Giggs scored his second goal of the game, the 34-year-old raced like a child to celebrate, enjoying his happy moment. From that moment on, the Man Utd knew nothing could stand in their way in defending their title. The Red Devils don't even have to focus on the scoreline on another field, Chelsea. At Stamford Bridge, Cech was sitting on the ground in extreme frustration, staring helplessly ahead......

Wayne Rooney was arguably the biggest contributor to United's game, with both of the Red Devils' goals linked to the wonder boy. Cristiano Ronaldo's penalty was also created by him, and then, under the gradual rise of Wigan's attack and the Red Devils' once-tight shape, Rooney went straight to Giggs to score and seal the title for Manchester United ahead of schedule. 'We played very hard, we were very nervous at the beginning of the game, but now we are happy. After the Champions League win against Barcelona, the mentality of the team was normal, that game helped us a lot, we trained very hard this week and we were under a lot of pressure mentally. After winning the championship, Rooney faced the microphone of reporters and told the truth.

Michael Carrick played the full game, and it was his centre-forward combination with Paul Scholes that brought United the title last season. In this game, Carrick fought very fiercely. 'We prepared very carefully and got a big trophy. In fact, we've been winning all the time. Yes, in the late stages of the tournament we already knew we were going to win the title, but let's not forget that a big challenge awaits us in Moscow. ”

After the game, Alex Ferguson, dressed in white, hugged Sir Charlton at the entrance of the dressing room. Then, the gentleman who was in a good mood winked at the camera and gave a thumbs up. In the dressing room, United players were celebrating and waiting to go out to claim their prize at any moment, while the losing Wigan players lined up at the entrance of the tunnel.

The staff of the Premier League professional leagues carefully placed the real Premier League championship trophy on the blue podium, which is a real trophy; In case Chelsea "accidentally" won the championship. The Premier League officially prepared two trophies and really came to the JJB Stadium; And the fake trophy went to Stamford Bridge. Charlton escorted the trophy to the podium, with assistant coach Queiroz leading the Red Devils coaching staff. Gesture to the fans. Alex Ferguson led the Manchester United players into the game, with Tevez wearing a trench coat and resembling Batman; Ryan Giggs was the last to enter the venue. Ferdinand then led his team-mate to the podium and accepted the winner's medal. The 34-year-old veteran Ryan Giggs, who was the hero of the game, was the last to receive the trophy, which is his tenth Premier League winner's medal!

Finally, the sacred moment has come! Manchester United's second captain Ryan Giggs kisses the trophy with an affectionate look. The Manchester United players cheered and fireworks were lit in celebration. Cristiano Ronaldo and Jonk rushed up one by one. Cristiano Ronaldo lifted the trophy high from Giggs, and then the trophy was lost in Jonker, Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic, Anderson, Carlos Tevez, Wayne Rooney, Van der Sar, Michael Carrick, Fletcher, Paul Scholes, O'Shea...... Hand by hand. Ferguson began to whisper to Charlton Athletic, and Ronaldo and Nani posed for a photo draped in the Portuguese flag......

Rio Ferdinand gave his shirt to a young United fan in the stands on their way to the stadium. He also became the only "naked man" in the Manchester United team. Despite the fact that countless hands were stretched out to Ferdinand. But the third captain of Manchester United still "persistently" gave the shirt to a young Red Devils fan.

Thousands of Red Devils fans were blessed and fortunate to see their heroes lift their 10th Premier League trophy for the city of Manchester, singing the famous "We Are the Champions" in unison.

At this time, loneliness is shameful, and even Ferguson, who has always been known for his strictness, drinks softly to the melody of the music. Hargreaves hilariously put a large bottle of champagne in the trophy, and Cristiano Ronaldo, Jonck, Rooney and Tevez all wore special hats, and everyone had ecstatic smiles on their faces. Carnival, carnival, crazy group photo......

Later, the United soldier returned to the dressing room. Van der Sar carefully wiped the beer from the rim of the trophy. The lord was eating heavily, and the old man's appetite was obviously good at this time. The Premier League has been played for 16 seasons. Manchester United have won their 10th title, and what could be more convincing than a league title?

Today, the United players will be back in Manchester, where tens of thousands of fans await the triumphant return of their heroes. Tonight all night party, no one can sleep tonight......

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger sent his message immediately after Manchester United's triumph, warning the Red Devils that the Gunners will give them their biggest challenge next year.

Asked after the final round of the Premier League if he had sent a message to Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger replied: "My message to Ferguson is to congratulate him on his achievements and to be ready for a good fight next year. ”

Arsene Wenger said: "You have to be sensible. When you get 83 points (Arsenal end up scoring) and you still say it's a failure, what do other teams say? ”

"I think we've been phenomenal all season from a quality point of view and I've never had a team that can consistently play quality games."

"We lost a 100-meter race because of a second's negligence, but we were all going head-to-head, only in the end someone made it over the finish line."

"It doesn't mean we can't run the 100m, but to get a good 100m, you need three or four runners to compete for the title. This year's Premier League, perhaps for the first time in four or five years, was exciting until the final day and Arsenal contributed to that. ”

Arsene Wenger also pointed out that United's success lies in their "advantage" at Old Trafford.

"Our 83 points is respectable, and I've won the championship with fewer points before. But the focus is on the quality of the game, and with not much difference between the three teams, any negligence can lead to punishment, with Manchester United 87, Chelsea 85 and us 83. ”

'Manchester United's biggest advantage is at home, where they score about the same number of points as us and less than Chelsea, but at home they have 16 wins.

'At Old Trafford, they have a vantage point and they take advantage of it.

Commenting on the season, Sunderland manager and former Manchester United star Keane said: "It's pretty much what I thought we we'd be, we finished 15th, maybe we're 15th. Manchester United were the best and the worst three teams were relegated. ”

Watching Manchester United score two goals in a row, the pain from up and down Chelsea is indescribable. An unexpected equaliser just before the end of the game ended in a game that could have ended in a leopard's tail, plus John Terry's accidental injury. Grant did annoy today, but the Israelis had to come out on top of their voices and praise the players for the season, without their efforts Chelsea would not have been able to chase Manchester United so badly, and of course, Grant would have to congratulate United on their success in defending their title.

Grant understood. The big guy is now most concerned about Terry's injury, and the collision between Terry and Cech in mid-air caused the Blue captain to be carried off a stretcher immediately. But after the game. John Terry came out topless to thank the fans, and that's when we saw him with a bandage on his left arm and a brace to support him so he could play. At least it shows that maybe it's not so bad.

"He didn't break his elbow," Grant said. But we'll have to wait for more definite conclusions, and we'll have to know more details in a few days. ”

An injury to the defence's first core has cast a big shadow over Chelsea's Champions League journey, with Grant saying: "I'll have to wait, I certainly don't want Terry to be completely better on the day of the game. He also suffered this injury against Arsenal. He's strong, and he's got ten days to go. There is no need to jump to conclusions now. ”

So will Terry take the initiative to ask to play with an injury at that time? 'We all need to see him play when he's fit and I'm happy with his fighting style. But first of all, we have to get through the medical hurdle, and we don't have to rush too much, we have time. ”

Unwilling to show how disappointed he was in not winning the title, Grant focused on his players for their extraordinary efforts over the past nine months. 'We can't say we're disappointed because we've never been to the top of the table and we've been taken away from us,' he said. So we're proud of what we've done this season. ”

Grant believes there are three main reasons why his team failed to squeeze Manchester United out: a lag in the start of the season, injuries to key players and Africa Cup of Nations disruptions, saying: "If you know what happened to us this season, you should know that we didn't play well at the start of the season and almost all the key players were injured, then the Africa Cup of Nations, and then some people were injured a second time. I'm very proud of what we've achieved in January, we've been able to play good football and win some big tournaments, and it's not easy to get to that point of view at the whole stage, so I'm very proud. ”

In the second half of today's game, Grant sent Sheva on and the Ukrainian lived up to expectations by scoring what could have been called the winning goal, and Grant gave a comprehensive assessment of his entire season, saying: "It's been a really strange season for Shevchenko. He didn't start the season very well, but after returning to training in recent weeks, his watch has improved a lot. Compared to the number of minutes he has played this season, he has scored a lot of goals. I'm happy to see him score because we probably used him when we were in Moscow. ”

When it comes to Moscow, Grant has a lot to say, and it's not just Abou's most important trophy, but the whole Chelsea Football Club, and those who are obsessed with fans, are looking forward to the club taking revenge on Manchester United in the final and winning the Big Ears Cup. A large part of the anguish of the Blues fans today was caused by those two goals from Manchester United. Grant said: "Of course we are aiming for the Champions League final but we need to give more to win trophies. We wanted to win the league as well, even though the initiative was out of our hands, even when it was 1-0 today, we were still trying, but when we heard that United were 2-0, the last ten minutes were less important. ”

Grant praised the loyal fans for not dimming their applause and cheers as the championship faded, saying: "It's not been a tough season, there have been good times, but there have been a lot of difficult moments. I'm proud not only of the team's watch, but also of the respect and understanding shown by the fans. ”

In the end, Grant sent his blessing to Ferguson, and he was also an adversary when he saw him ten days later, an adversary worthy of great respect. He said: "I want to congratulate Manchester United, they have had a great season and are a fantastic champions. I've sent a message to Alex Ferguson to congratulate him, he's a great coach and a great person and I personally admire him. ”

John Terry went to hospital for immobilization after picking up an injury today and then came back to Stamford Bridge and spoke to Sky Sports after the game, saying: "I'm definitely going to have to rest for three or four days and God forbid me to play in Moscow. ”

John Terry congratulated United on their victory, saying: "When I came out of the hospital, I was watching the second half of the game, going back and forth between games. When Ryan Giggs scored the second goal, I knew the result was fair, they have been excellent this season. We have a lot of respect for their team, they have had a fantastic season and deserve to be at the top of the rankings. ”

Congratulations to congratulations, if John Terry can play in the Champions League final, he will definitely fight hard and he doesn't care, he told Manchester United: "Moscow will be a different experience and now that's what we're aiming for. I'm disappointed not to win the league, but the Champions League trophy is the only one we haven't won, and we all want this one! (To be continued......)
