Chapter 40 Premier League Situation

No matter what happened in the end, Liu Yifei kept carrying the necklace happily and did not return it to the prince. In this way, the prince's goal was achieved.

The subsequent auction was not interesting, and the prince had no cash, so the two of them were just spectators. When the auction was over, they both left. Of course, they just left together.

"I'm leaving. I have to go back to the set tomorrow. Haha, let's exchange mobile phone numbers. I'll hang out with you when I go to the UK." When we parted, Liu Yifei felt a little bit reluctant to leave.

"Well, I'll be waiting for you in London at any time. I'll make arrangements when you come. You can call me if you have nothing to do."

After the separation, the prince didn't know whether this was an affair. If so, wouldn't the accumulated wish points in the system have been in vain? It seemed that he had no other wishes.

With a touch of regret, the prince left China. Although it was still a holiday, he couldn't relax all the time. The prince finally decided to gather with the team in advance to adapt to the team's style of play. After all, the core of the team must be with other players.

If the players cannot cooperate, then it will really become a pseudo-core.

The Premier League is now halfway through its schedule, and the chaotic situation since the start has now calmed down. The distinction between the championship teams and the relegation teams has basically been clearly distinguished.

Chelsea experienced Mourinho's coaching change in the first half of the season, and the successive injuries to the main core players Terry and Lampard seriously affected the team's competitive results. Although the team still occupies a leading position in the league with its strong strength.

The third place in the first half, but its current 38 points are already the same as the two strong teams occupying the first and second positions, Manchester United (45 points) and Arsenal (44 points), which widens the gap to at least two goals. And the team's main force in the second half of the game

Center forward Didier Drogba's absence will be serious. Although the team intends to introduce a former genius in the second half of the season. Anelka, who scored 10 goals in the 19th round of the Premier League Bolton this season, once his unruly character joins,

It is unclear how many days of peace they can maintain under the mediocre Israeli Grant. Without the addition of Prince, it can be said that the team has basically withdrawn from the competition for the league title this season and has the possibility of directly participating in the Champions League next season.

Manchester United's record in the first half of the season was excellent, with 14 wins in 19 games and only 2 losses. With 45 points, it topped the list. At home, they maintained 9 wins and 1 draw with Arsenal and Manchester City.

The undefeated record. The home winning rate of 90% is eye-catching. The current midfield and frontcourt are led by Ronaldo and Rooney, supplemented by veteran Giggs and Nani and Anderson, who were introduced with a lot of money at the beginning of the season and quickly integrated into the team.

, the offensive power can be said to be unprecedented, with 36 league goals, ranking first in the goal list, just like its championship rival Arsenal. In terms of defense, under the control of Carrick and Hargreaves, who is full of wild dog spirit, in the midfield,

Supplemented by the powerful central defender combination of Vidic and Leo, they conceded only 9 goals in total. They scored an average of 1.89 goals per game and conceded only 0.47 goals. The goal difference of 27 far left other teams behind.

Behind the head, Ronaldo's performance is as outstanding as ever. After half a round, he still ranks first among the scorers with 12 goals. As a midfielder, this high goal rate is really shocking. From the first half of the game, Manchester United is currently

The main problem is defense. There are always deficiencies in the defense of high points and set pieces. Second-rate defenders like Brown have never been able to consolidate the team's bench depth and tactical expansion. The team is currently delineating its recruitment targets for the second half.

They are basically defenders, including the 23-year-old Serbian central defender Ivanovic, who is currently competing for the top clubs, playing for Lokomotiv Moscow. I believe that in the second half of the season, Rooney, Scholes and others will return in the frontcourt, and the defense will be improved.

On the basis of strong candidates to enhance strength and make up for shortcomings, the team's performance will reach a higher level.

At the beginning of the season, Arsenal sold their main forward, Henry, the last jewel in the Emirates crown, abandoned German goalkeeper Lehmann and replaced him with the young Almunia, completely forming a youth army to compete in this season's Premier League. , people almost no longer have confidence in this young opponent. No one is optimistic that the Gunners will be able to get close to the championship this season. But towards the end of the first half, people were surprised to find that the young Gunners left the third place behind. Chelsea has reached 6 points. There is only one point gap with the Red Devils Manchester United at the top of the list. At this moment, people understand that the real gem of the team is Professor Wenger. Under his wonderful hands, the team maintains the midfield balance. In addition to the core structure of Hleb, Rosicky, Cesc Fabregas and Van Persie in the frontcourt, Adebayor has suddenly emerged and ranked third in the league's scorer list with 10 goals. Others are Toure and Flami The performance of young players such as Nigeria is also getting better and better. Among them, Da Silva, who joined this season and scored 73 goals in 104 games last season, has scored 7 goals in 8 games in 5 Champions League games and 3 League Cup games. Arsenal is currently the leader. The undisputed top scorer in the cup. In the last game during the Christmas period, he finally scored two goals in the team's 1:4 victory over Toffees Everton. The team's The reserve strength is enviable. Even without Henry, the current Arsenal is far from the one last year! The team has now surpassed Manchester United, which was knocked unconscious by the hammer, and jumped to the top of the list, scoring 40 goals in 20 league games. The goal efficiency has also surpassed Manchester United. I believe that as the second half of the game progresses, the battle between the two teams will become more intense and dazzling.

Liverpool has spent a lot of money this season, Torres, the golden boy of La Liga! What a name coveted by the European giants. 9 goals, not a penalty kick, the performance of the blond boy is worthy of the fans and every penny he gets. But , look at the record of these Red Army guys, it’s terrible, very bad. It’s so puzzling that it ranks behind Chelsea, which is suffering from civil strife and a lot of injuries and attrition. Look at the record of the Red Army at home this year after spending heavily, 9 games There were only 4 wins, and none of the strong dialogues at home in the first half were successful. Even the unlucky Tottenham team during the Dutchman Jol's era could have plundered a little at Anfield. Let's look at the away games, oh ...It seems good! Only one defeat, 6 wins, 2 draws and 20 points, ranking first in the away record list. Who did it lose to...Reading...After the first half, the goal difference was only 1 Team, Reading has to thank Benitez. If it weren't for that 3:1, the small club that is still trying to get out of the relegation circle would have no goal difference. Benitez is undoubtedly the only one sitting on the volcano. He is said to be the head coach of a wealthy Premier League team, but no... his performance can only make him a quasi-rich club, and he will be a wealthy club if he doesn't win a Champions League.

Manchester City made a sudden appearance in the first half of this season under the leadership of Eriksson, but the team relied solely on home games and the away games were extremely weak. The team was still faltering in the process of becoming a super team. The 19th round of home games was After being tied by Blackburn Rovers, the 9-game winning streak at home this season was finally terminated, giving up the top spot in home results that it had maintained for half a season. It currently has 9 wins and 1 draw with Arsenal and Manchester United, which also maintains the top spot. The same home results, but the difference between the two championship contenders is the 10-point gap. The team only won one away game against West Ham at the beginning of the season, with 4 draws and 4 losses, which directly led to the decline in the team's overall competitiveness. The decline is reflected in the fact that it can only rank fifth in the standings in the first half, and the team only has a goal difference of 5. Among the top 7 teams in the league, Portsmouth also has the lowest goal difference. As many as 10, it can be said that this data highlights the team's weak overall strength. The team's competitiveness in the second half may gradually decline as time goes by. Although Chelsea and Liverpool were in a sluggish state in the first half, they The overall strength and staffing are stronger than Manchester City, and the tickets for the Champions League will definitely not favor Manchester City. Instead, the team must be careful about deviations in the competition with other mid-range teams that have relatively balanced performances in the second half of the league.

In the first half, Everton had 10 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses, 6 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses at home, and 4 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses away from home. The home and away performance was relatively balanced, but the away points were not as stable as Portsmouth. , although the latter currently has fewer points than Everton, but considering the stability of the performance in the first half, the important task of catching up with Manchester City in the second half to compete for the UEFA Cup qualification will be theirs. Portsmouth plays at home in the first half Although there was only 1 loss, there were only 2 wins, and 6 draws were disappointing, but the stability of points at home was acceptable. The away performance was extremely ideal, with 6 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses in 10 games, ranking high in the away league standings. Second position. The above two teams will be strong contenders for UEFA Cup qualification in the second half.

Aston Villa, among the mid-table teams that are closest to qualifying for the European competition, we may add Aston Villa, a team that only lost 1 away game. This team lost 1 game on the road in the first half of the season. Perhaps the most serious problems are mediocre performance and poor schedule. The team maintains a very good winning rate against mid-to-lower teams. Continuous wins are always very exciting, but once they encounter Liverpool, When Manchester United and Arsenal were playing against each other, their progress would come to an abrupt halt even in their home court where they had a favorable geographical location. In the Christmas battle, this trend was alleviated to a certain extent, and the team tenaciously tied with Chelsea. Maybe this This indicates that its bullying style will improve in the second half of the season, and it is not impossible to compete for European competition qualifications.

Tottenham is a team with two outstanding shooters. Berbatov's conflict with his former head coach Jol in the first half of the season also directly affected the team's performance, causing the team's results in the first half of the season to be shocking. At present, Under the attention of new coach Ramos, his performance is getting better and better. Robbie Keane has scored 19 goals in all 31 Premier League games he participated in this year. The average number of goals per game is 0.61, regardless of whether it is a goal or a goal. Both in terms of numbers and goal efficiency, they are currently the top scorers in the Premier League. The team's form has improved significantly since entering December. Among the teams currently in the lower reaches of the standings, the one most worth looking forward to in the second half is Tottenham. Perhaps, it Will they win such a cup championship and enter the European competition next season? As for the top 5 in the league, look at the team's home-loss odds of 44% in the first half and the away games' draw and loss odds of 40% and 50% respectively. , it’s better not to look forward to it.

Blackburn's overall style is relatively strong in the league, and its overall strength is not weak. They even had 4 consecutive victories in the first half. However, the team's status quickly declined after entering the November competition. 11 In the 9 games so far this month, there have only been 2 wins, and all 8 of them have conceded goals. The ups and downs have directly led to the decline of the team's performance. If the internal problems cannot be effectively solved in the second half, will the team be able to Maintaining the current mid-table position will also become a question. West Ham and Newcastle, two veritable nerve knives, can often achieve unexpected victories when people are generally not optimistic about them, and when people believe that they will win. Sometimes, they will be inexplicably weak. Especially Newcastle, a veteran club that should be firmly in the upper reaches of the team, but they have been wasting their youth in their own internal strife for years, even under the leadership of the famous coach Sam Allardyce. The arrival of the two teams cannot make them any better. Just like the old coach Robson, his reputation was almost ruined by the Magpies. With the characteristics of the two teams, I believe they will not have any future in the second half of the season. Staying in the middle of the pack and avoiding relegation is people's biggest hope for them. Reading, a team with a rough style of play, actually ranked above Tottenham with 6 wins, 4 draws and 9 losses in the first half. Maybe it will be a dark horse? It’s better to say that Tottenham are too bad. Look at Reading. They haven’t even won an away game and have a goal difference of 11. Only teams that are relegated are like this. For such a small club, maybe in the first half Relatively excellent results can ensure that it will not have to worry about relegation at the end of the season. As for going further, just avoid it.

Birmingham currently ranks 14th with 18 points, still 4 points ahead of the current penultimate Black Cats Sunderland. After encountering the acquisition of Yang Ka-shing this season, the team's morale has been weakened and bad news has continued.

Bruce, the England veteran who was trained in the process, also wanted to leave and even signed a coaching intention with relegation rival Wigan. Although the transfer was suspended due to a special clause in his contract, the team was still in the process.

The league is becoming more and more difficult. The good news is that the possibility of Yang Ka-shing acquiring the club has been completely rejected by the club recently. Bruce can safely train the Blue Nose (Birmingham nickname) to gradually get out of the trough. Among many relegation teams, Birmingham will not be relegated in the second half.

The prospects are relatively bright.

Wigan, the new team in the British Championship and a dark horse in the Premier League last season, experienced an alarming decline this season. The 8 consecutive losses in the league further devastated the team's morale. The team's worst period came in the 4th round.

Between the 15th round, the team only achieved 3 draws in these 13 rounds, lost all the remaining 10 games, and only scored 3 points in the 13th round. After 13 consecutive rounds without a win, the team rebounded slightly, with 17

By the 19th round, there were 2 wins and 1 draw, and they were undefeated for 3 consecutive rounds, with 7 goals scored in 3 games. Although the current 16 points can only rank fourth from the bottom, Birmingham, which is also ranked 14th, is no more.

There is only a 2-point difference. As long as the team maintains its current momentum against mid-to-lower teams, relegation is not a problem.

Bolton have performed poorly this season after losing their meritorious coach Sam Allardyce, and the team's strength has declined. Sammy Lee is also unable to save the crisis. Although he has a first-class shooter like Anelka who scored 10 goals in the first half,

It still cannot change the team's embarrassing situation, and can only maintain a weak 3-point lead in the current standings with the relegation circle. The team's overall losses in the first half were the same as deputy squad leader Derby County, which was 12 games, and the away game

The team's 8 losses ranked first among the losses, and it can be said to be unparalleled in the world. If Anelka, the top scorer in the second half, is lost, the team's road to relegation will become more and more difficult.

Under the leadership of the headstrong Keane, Sunderland no longer had the courage to win the Championship. He said it well. In the Championship, there will be people to give you advice and lend you players. In the Premier League, no one will help you. Everything

You have to rely on yourself. In the first half of the 19 rounds, the team only had 3 wins and 5 draws, and the -21 goal difference was only less than Derby County. Three consecutive defeats were almost commonplace for last season's British Championship champions. The away game was as pitiful as other relegation partners.

With the team still winless, there is no sign of improvement for the team. Returning to the British Championship may be Keane's best choice. Then he can hone himself and wait for his teacher Ferguson to retire and come back. The old Jazz may help him avoid relegation.

Derby County has firmly occupied the position it should occupy from the beginning. The deputy squad leader... In the first half of the 19 league rounds, they only had 1 win and 4 draws, and lost 14 games. It is a foregone conclusion that the team will be relegated and return to the English Championship.

The sluggish state and poor strength have contributed to a series of poor results in the first half of the league. For example, they lost 7 consecutive games in the league, failed to win a single away game until the end of the first half, and the team only won 10 points in 19 league games.

After defeating Newcastle 1 at home in the 6th round, the team is already in critical condition. The second half of the season should focus on training the new team to prepare for the British Championship. Middlesbrough's statistics are not outstanding, and the team has never been good.

The improvement has been hovering on the edge of relegation, but the team still ranks first in the first half of the league in one achievement, which is a total of 42 yellow cards received. This shows the lack of personal ability of the team's players. The team has not seen any adjustments recently.

, the road to the league after winter will probably become more and more dangerous. For example, Fulham appointed a new coach Hodgson, but the team's strength is limited. In the first half, they only gained 14 points with 2 wins, 8 draws and 9 losses.

, whether we can ultimately rely on the famous coach's prescription to escape from the relegation zone and successfully avoid relegation is still not optimistic. I don't dare to be optimistic about his great improvement in the second half of the season. Hodgson may be another tragic coach... The second half of the Premier League has begun.

Tragedies and comedies are staged in cycles, with visible beginnings and unpredictable endings, all of which always make people curious and waiting to see.
