After Noriya returned to the UK with the Southampton team, he received a grand welcome - anyway, in the past two seasons, Southampton won the European championships related to England, and the two European Leagues
, a European Super Cup, the points system of the English League depends entirely on Southampton...
"This is just flattery. Don't pay attention to them. What does England's honor have to do with us? What we are robbing is our own honor."
Noriya said in the team, and the players burst into laughter, but it didn't matter if he said this in England. After all, there are not many local players in the Southampton team now...
In the last round of the league, Ji Ya sent out all the substitutes. This game had nothing to do with Southampton's results. It was more of a grand performance than a game...
This is also quite uncomfortable for their opponent Liverpool. After all, Liverpool have nothing to ask for in the league. Their ranking this season has been determined. They are ninth in the league, which is their lowest ranking in recent years.
The greatest giant in the history of the English league still needs a period of time to settle before it can usher in a true rebirth.
In the final game, Southampton narrowly defeated Liverpool by one goal at home. Their results this season were fixed at 22 wins, 11 draws and 5 losses, with 77 goals scored, 36 goals conceded, and 7 points.
Seventeen points, ranking third in the league.
The other competitions were quite thrilling.
Manchester City fell behind 1 to 2 and were on the verge of despair. They completed a great comeback in the last few minutes. First, Dzeko took a corner kick to equalize the score. In the last minute of stoppage time, Aguero received a pass from Balotelli.
Breaking into the penalty area and scoring, Manchester City won its first championship in 44 years!
Manchester United unfortunately lost this league championship. They were already close to winning the championship...
Their points are all 89 points, which can also show the fierceness of the competition for the league championship this season.
Tottenham defeated their opponent with difficulty in the last round and reached 72 points. This made the victory of the city rival Arsenal in vain. With only 70 points, they watched Tottenham steal the last championship.
Cup quota, they can only play in the Europa League...
Newcastle also lost the opportunity to play in the Europa League. They were ranked sixth, and the remaining Europa League spot was taken by Liverpool, which was ranked ninth. Of course, Newcastle did not have no chance. After all, their opponent in the FA Cup final was Liverpool.
And Chelsea, if Chelsea can win the Champions League and qualify for the Champions League, then the FA Cup final will not result in a Europa League qualification.
Because if Chelsea wins, they have already qualified for the Champions League, and the Europa League qualification will be deferred to the runner-up of the FA Cup. However, Liverpool already has the qualification for the Europa League. In this way, this qualification will be pleasing to the eye.
To the sixth place in the Premier League, Newcastle United...
To be able to distribute it so neatly is an anomaly.
But everyone thinks that Chelsea is lucky enough to get past Barcelona. Can they still win the championship against such a powerful Bayern? Impossible...
However, Chelsea really created a miracle.
On May 20th, Chelsea completed what can be called the greatest game of David and Goliath in football history with the entire audience passive.
They were suppressed by Bayern throughout the game, and Bayern scored in the 83rd minute. Such a situation would generally cause the opponent to collapse. However, five minutes later, they relied on a corner kick and Drogba equalized.
Got the score...
The game entered overtime. In the first three minutes of overtime, Drogba fouled while returning to defense and gave Bayern a penalty kick. At this time, Chelsea was in desperation for the second time, but Cech saved the opponent's penalty kick!
After two consecutive narrow escapes, Chelsea tenaciously maintained the tie until the end. By the time the penalty shootout came, Bayern had completely collapsed, and then they naturally lost to their opponents in the penalty shootout...
Chelsea won the most dramatic final in the history of the Champions League with a penalty shootout of 4-3.
The media's eyes suddenly focused on Chelsea!
Compared with Southampton, Chelsea's season is indeed more magical.
When the new coach took office, he was not accustomed to the local environment, and the league results were poor. He changed coaches midway, and Di Matteo, who put out the fire, led Chelsea to the first Champions League championship in London's history...
And judging from his subsequent performance, Di Matteo is not a top head coach. He just has better luck this season...
Chelsea miraculously won the Champions League, surprising everyone.
However, everyone can now see the situation at Chelsea. The top team has begun to age and needs a good replacement.
Of course, this has nothing to do with Ji Ya.
His focus is now entirely on his team.
After the entire season ended, Southampton had a great harvest this season. Although Chelsea stole a lot of attention during this period, it could not hinder the outstanding performance of Southampton players.
The most direct manifestation is that their squad suddenly has more Chinese players, and many of them will participate in the next European Cup...
Klein was selected for the England national team, Blind was selected for the Dutch national team, Lovren was selected for the Croatian national team, Font was selected for the Portuguese national team, Dembélé was selected for the Belgian national team, Matuidi and Giroud were selected for the French national team.
, Klose was selected for the German national team...
These seven countries are all teams participating in the European Cup, and they are basically the favorites to win the championship. Under such circumstances, as long as Southampton's players perform better, they will definitely get more attention.
Of course, nowadays, European clubs don't actually pay too much attention to the national team's games. It's the performance in the league that attracts more attention.
For example, Southampton has not many players who can play the main role in the national team, that is, Lovren, Dembele, Vidal, Klose's position in the German national team is not considered.
They are too stable, so to observe their performance, of course, they have to look at their performance in the league and cup competitions.
The performance in the Premier League and Europa League is already valuable enough. Whether the performance in the Europa League is good or not only gives Southampton a reason to raise or lower the price...
"The current value of players is said to be inflated, but the premium is not too high... Should I sell it or not? It seems not cost-effective to sell it, but if not, the players will easily be dissatisfied. No wonder these guys drag their feet on renewing their contracts.
." Ji Ya looked at the several transfer applications in hand, thinking with a headache.
