611. The final battle

Manchester City's last round of the game was home court, and the atmosphere on the scene was very warm because they had already won the championship ahead of schedule.

For fans, the result of the game against Southampton is no longer cared about. This is exactly the sentence, "No one cares about the process, what everyone cares about the most is the result!"

Manchester City is the champion, which is enough, even if you win at home Southampton?!

Southampton needs these three points. Southampton performed very vigorously in the first half of the season, but it was not possible later. First, their lineup was limited, and second, they were not strong enough against truly strong teams. It is not difficult for the Premier League to score points on them.

Such a posture requires competing with the top six European qualifications, as well as FA Cup or League Cup champions, it is not easy for Southampton to enter the top five.

As a result, in the last round, they were already ranked 7th, and there was a two-point gap from Tottenham, which means that Southampton not only needs to win, but also hopes that Tottenham and Liverpool will lose.

This looks like a task that seems impossible to accomplish.

Given that Manchester City has won the championship, they will prepare for the Champions League, everyone knows that Manchester City may use a substitute lineup in this game to barely deal with this game.

So at the pre-match press conference, a good media asked Southampton head coach Koeman if he was particularly confident.

Koeman was very annoyed. You guys just said that I took advantage of it!

Then Liverpool didn't take it?! Tottenham didn't take it?!

Liverpool's opponent is Stoke City, and Tottenham's opponent is Everton. Stoke City and Everton are both teams with no desires, similar to Manchester City.

Koeman said angrily: "I'm not the roundworm in Wen's belly. I don't know how he will arrange troops! We think the opportunities are equal!"

Koeman's anger was mainly to the reporters. He didn't have any opinions about Wensheng and Manchester City, but he forgot a big thing on the game day and made an own.

According to the unwritten practice of the Premier League, the champion team will be welcomed by other teams.

As Manchester City's last home court, on the day of the coronation, Southampton should have set up a tournament to welcome Manchester City before today's game. However, when Manchester City players appeared, they suddenly found that Southampton was standing side by side with them. What does this mean?!

Although form is a form, Southampton's approach undoubtedly made Manchester City players very unhappy.

As for Wensheng, he really didn't think anything was there. He guessed that Koeman should have forgotten it, not really wanted to do it. Of course, it was okay if he didn't do it.

So before the game, greetings before the game did not mention this at all. Koeman arrived at his coaching seat, and the Southampton team leader seemed to have just remembered this and told Koeman about it.

"It's just an unwritten rule! It doesn't have to be done!"

The team leader's explanation made Koeman feel very angry. He wanted to win in the last round of the game. There was nothing wrong with this matter, but you fucking disrespectful to others. Manchester City players are not allowed to fight against you on the court. It was possible to let go of water, but don't expect them to let go of water now.

Koeman couldn't get angry. As expected, Manchester City's players were like they were injected with blood. I don't know if it was because of the last home crowning day that wanted to continue to make happiness for home fans, or was stinged by Southampton's ignorance.

Manchester City fans at Etihad Stadium were obviously very unhappy with Southampton's approach. As long as Southampton got the ball, they were booed by the home team fans.

Koeman had a premonition that he felt like he was in this game pill!

"These guys are really hardworking!" Wen Sheng stopped standing on the sidelines today, sitting in the seat to rest as he was muttering next to him.

"Southampton dissatisfied, these guys were stimulated!" Wen Sheng explained.

Manchester City must have been on a lot of substitutes today, but are these substitutes really willing to fight with their opponents?! It's not like that. Now is a happy day. Everyone knows that Wensheng will definitely not cause trouble, and they also look forward to the end of the game soon.

On the one hand, they believed that they could be recognized by Wen Sheng if they had momentum in their actions, but on the other hand, they were really angry by Southampton's small actions.

Wensheng does recognize these guys. You have to say that these guys have no offense in their offense. They often do whatever they want and lose the ball quickly, but their counter-attack attitude is quite right and they will not take a walk if they lose the ball.

It is precisely because of this madness that the game has an interesting effect that Manchester City actually beat Southampton to play.

Because Manchester City was playing fiercely, Koeman selectively recycled and consolidated his defense first. How could he think the opponent is getting worse?

Like that person, Cuadrado, he dared to pass by 30 meters away from the sideline, and then kicked you casually. Is there any structure? It's completely out of order, and it's messed up, but they will soon be able to win the ball back.

"You won't say it?! Isn't this a mess?!" Brian hated this kind of mess.

"Relax, Brian! He has been in a state of popularity for a season, how can he not send a single shot?" Wen Sheng joked.

Quadrado is really a stubborn person, and it has not changed much from the beginning of the season to the end of the season. Moreover, this kid plays very well with a third-part girl. His English level has improved, but he has not made any progress in playing football and can occasionally shine. So he is basically a substitute at Manchester City.

Isn't the season over this period? Some media are hyping up the trend of Cuadrado being sold, and it will be sold?! It's not that easy.

Manchester City designated that he would not sell him at a low price. After all, this kid is in his year of playing, and Manchester City is paying a very good salary, so Cuadrado may not be willing to leave.

Wensheng is about to step down, so he won’t care about such a bird’s affairs.

The more you have this state of mind, Wen Sheng will naturally not take this game seriously. If it is changed, he will have to take the substitutes' attitude seriously. Now he doesn't care.

Southampton's resistance did not last long. Of course, it was also a big blame for Manchester City's ability. Lampard, who was playing the front midfielder, was dissatisfied. Damn, you guys kicked me one by one, can't I hit it one by one?!

In the 18th minute, Lampard scored a long shot of more than 20 meters, which shocked everyone. He directly hit the lintel and bounced into the goal, breaking the deadlock for Manchester City.

After that, Manchester City still did not relax and played hard with Southampton. In the 27th and 41st minutes, Manchester City scored two more goals, and Quadrado and Costa made a contribution respectively, helping Manchester City expand the score to 3:0, but Southampton was crippled in the first half.

This game made Wen Sheng feel a little speechless. It is nonsense to say that Manchester City's offense is organized in an orderly manner, but the players' abilities are indeed good. At least they win the ball and long-range shooting are very reliable, which gives them the lead.
Chapter completed!
