The most watched game in the 33rd round of the league is not the home game between Leeds City and Tramed. After all, Tramed, who is ranked third, cannot pose any threat to Manchester Athletic, who is ranked first - in the first place
Before the 33rd round was played, Manchester United was leading Tramed by 22 points, and Tramed had already lost the qualification to compete for the league championship.
The game that attracts attention is the match between Manchester Athletic and Thorton Town.
As long as Manchester United can get a point at home in this game, they can win the league five rounds in advance.
Because before this round of the league, Manchester United led the standings with an advantage of 18 points. Basically, they can declare the championship in advance.
But out of respect for the opponent, the proper procedures still have to be followed.
Therefore, as long as Manchester United does not lose at home in this round of the league, no matter what the result of the game between second-placed Wijston and Sydenham, Manchester United will successfully win the championship.
In the end, Manchester United overachieved.
They played as consistently as they did.
Top scorer Marvin Stones scored twice in the game, bringing his league goals to 27. There is basically no suspense about winning the Premier League Golden Boot this season.
With his two goals, Manchester United beat Thorton Town 5:2 at home.
Although on the other side, Wiggerston defeated Sydenham 2:1 at home, it could not change the final result of this season's Premier League - with no matter what the league is left, they were 18 points behind Manchester United.
It is impossible to come back again.
Manchester United won the Premier League title with an absolute advantage at home.
The biggest suspense of this season's Premier League ended five rounds ahead of schedule.
At the same time, Manchester United also eliminated Ruerrhein in the Champions League quarter-finals, entered the Champions League semi-finals, and faced the old powerhouse King Madrid of the Champions League.
This will also be a genius showdown between Kabangka and Meili.
Attracted the attention of countless people.
Because of his outstanding performance in the Premier League and Champions League this season, some media and fans have already named the era after the "Four Kings" as the "Peerless Twins" in advance.
They believe that as Francis retires and Caesar, Aylmer and Cerrados grow old, the era of the "Four Kings" will eventually come to an end.
After them, the mainstream pattern in world football will be the two heroes Kabangka and Melli competing for supremacy.
Although Hulay and Albertazzi have become celebrities in the European media in the past two weeks, their "flash in the pan" cannot shake the general trend and pattern of football in the future.
Although Hu Lai performed amazingly last season, he is in a small team like Leeds City after all, and it is hard to say what the future will be like. For example, his performance this season is far less than last season.
Albertazzi has the same problem. Whether he can still become a figure that cannot be ignored in world football in the future depends on his performance after he moves to the wealthy Turin Bulls next season.
At present, Kabangka and Melli are two young talents who have proven their ability and talent in various competitions. The head-on collision between the two of them in the Champions League will naturally be something that everyone will pay attention to.

Although it is said that they are putting all their energy into the Europa League, it does not mean that Leeds City has completely given up on the league.
There are some games that will not take up too much energy from the players and will not interfere with the Europa League. Clark will still try his best to play with the strongest lineup.
This is also a way to keep the main players in game condition. After all, always protecting the main players and not letting them play will also cause them to gradually lose the feeling of the game.
When it comes to important games, they will lose the game because they are unable to find their form.
Therefore, in the thirty-fourth round, since there was no Europa League game before or after, even if the kick-off was on Wednesday night, Clark still let Leeds City play with all the main players.
The team's performance did not disappoint Clark and Leeds City fans.
They defeated 16th-placed Abion 2:0 away from home.
This is also the first victory in the last four league rounds.
Lasky scored twice in this game and scored all the goals.
These two goals brought his number of goals in all competitions this season to 14, including 11 in the league.
If Clark had not raised the task target, then the entire Leeds City team would have begun to celebrate that they had finalized a meal at the Red Hot Chili Peppers after the end of the season.
Now, they are still six goals away from this goal.
There are at least six games left, averaging one goal per game.
It's still very difficult.
However, the entire Leeds City team did not give up, they decided to give it a try.
And successfully helped Lasky score another goal in the next round of the league!
Because the next step was the first leg of the Europa League semi-final against London Bridge, Clark did not field all the main players, but only used half of the main players and ordinary substitutes to face North London Wanderers at home.
Although it was a home game, Leeds City failed to win in the end. They lost to North London Wanderers 2:3.
Lasky opened the scoring for the team.
Hu Lai came off the bench and scored another goal.
There are only three rounds left in the league, and Leeds City currently ranks tenth with 50 points.
They are still eleven points away from North London Wanderers, who are sixth in the league. It is completely impossible to qualify for next season's European competition through the league rankings.
There is only one feasible way before them - to win the Europa League and then participate in the Champions League next season in this capacity.
This road is also very difficult to walk.
Although they have reached the semi-finals, they first have to eliminate their strong rivals in the league, London Bridge.
In the league this season, Leeds City played two games at London Bridge, losing one and drawing one, without a win:
In the eleventh round of the league, they lost 2:3 away to London Bridge. That game was Pete Williams' first game back from injury. Although he scored a goal after his return, he still failed to help the team beat London Bridge.
bridge.
Hu Lai also scored, which also didn't help.
However, there was a reason for the failure of that game, because it was followed by the Champions League group stage, and Leeds City faced Vesuvius at home. At that time, the entire Leeds City team was focused on the Champions League group stage in the middle of next week.
So the strategy abandoned the league.
Of course, Leeds City did not get a favor in the Champions League - they lost to Serie A powerhouse Vesuvius at home by the same score. They won the first of four Champions League group matches and accumulated three points. There is little hope of qualifying for the group.
.
The second meeting between Leeds City and London Bridge was in the 28th round of the league, and Leeds City returned to home.
There is no European competition before or after this game, so Leeds City is playing with its full strength.
As a result, the team was in average shape and ended up with a 1:1 draw at home with London Bridge.
Hu Lai started the game and did not score a goal.
Judging from the record of the confrontation between the two sides this season, Leeds City cannot take any advantage.
Moreover, London Bridge is also in very good shape this season. They are currently ranked fourth in the league and are very hopeful that they will qualify for next season's Champions League at the end of the season. This can be said to be a big step forward compared to last season - although from
In terms of league rankings, they only improved one place from last season, but fourth and fifth place is the difference between heaven and earth for London Bridge.
The fourth place will participate in the Champions League and the fifth place will participate in the Europa League.
In this round of the league, London Bridge defeated Manchester Athletic 2:1 in an away game. This is because after Manchester Athletic won the championship in advance, the team was relaxed, but London Bridge's excellent state cannot be ignored.
Especially at this time, defeating the league champion can greatly boost the morale and confidence of the players, which will naturally be beneficial to the next Europa League semi-finals.
Park Soon-tae is also in good condition after returning from injury and has scored consecutive goals.
In the game against Manchester United, he contributed an assist and a goal. In addition, he also scored in four consecutive games.
Korean media generally believe that Park Soon-tae has the experience of winning the Europa League. His experience will definitely help London Bridge defeat Leeds City in the semi-finals. This is also a key battle for Park Soon-tae to regain the "Light of Asia" honor.
Since Hulay helped Leeds City win the Premier League championship last season and he won the Premier League Golden Boot himself, Park Soon Tae's limelight has been stolen by Hulay.
This has caused many Korean media and most Korean fans to grieve. Everyone hopes that Park Soon-tae can defeat his opponent in a direct dialogue with Hu Lai, whether it is team results or personal performance...
However, Park Suntae seemed very calm when facing the clamor from the Korean media:
"This is not a game between me and Hu Lai, this is London Bridge and Leeds City. I will go all out to help the team win. I believe Hu Lai will be the same... I think two Asian players can appear in
The Europa League semi-finals are already the glory of Asian football..."
Similarly, Hu Lai expressed almost the same meaning when interviewed by the Chinese media:
"This is a club game, not a national team game. I don't care about the 'Asian Derby', I only care about the team's win or loss."
Both sides have made their intentions clear. They are unwilling to focus on personal disputes. If one of them scores more goals than the other, but is eliminated in the end, what's the point?
On Thursday, April 28, after the Leeds City team finished their morning training, the entire team took a bus from Leeds and headed south to London, the capital of the United Kingdom.
They will go to London Bridge's home ground Southfield Stadium in the evening for warm-up training to adapt to the venue, and then return to the hotel for the night.
Preparing for the Europa League semi-finals, which kicks off at that stadium tomorrow night.
