After 31 rounds of the league, Tottenham ranked third with 18 wins, 11 draws, 2 losses and 65 points. In these six league rounds, Manchester United and Chelsea all won, so in the standings, the Red Devils ranked third with 24 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses and 75 points. In first place, the Blues are closely followed with 74 points with 23 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses.
Arsenal is a bit stretched, losing 2 out of 6 games, including losing to Liverpool in the last game. However, Liverpool was even more ruined. They also lost 2 games and won one less game than Arsenal.
Currently, the two teams have 16 wins, 7 draws, 8 losses and 55 points, and 15 wins, 7 draws and 9 losses, with 52 points respectively, ranking fourth and fifth.
There are still 7 games left in the league. If Tottenham, which is 10 points behind Manchester United, wants to win the championship, the top two teams must lose at least 4 games.
Therefore, for Tottenham, winning the league is simply unrealistic, and the initiative is firmly in the hands of others.
For Arsenal, who are ranked fourth, trying to catch up with Tottenham, who are 10 points behind, is also an insurmountable punishment.
In the league standings, both the championship and fourth place are still in doubt, but Tottenham's third place seems to be stable.
After judging the above situation, Tottenham decisively released a smoke bomb.
On April 15, Tottenham went to Stamford Bridge to challenge Chelsea away from home.
The two teams have met four times this season, with Tottenham having the upper hand with 3 wins and 1 draw.
Whether it was the FA Cup or the league, Chelsea was eliminated by Tottenham.
So before the game started, the fans at Stamford Bridge shouted loudly, hoping to give Tottenham a good look at home!
Head coach Mourinho stood on the sidelines with his arms folded, his brows furrowed.
He didn't want the fans to be so "murderous", which would not only affect his layout, but also affect the attitude of the opponent team.
In fact, in this game, it doesn't matter whether Tottenham wins or loses.
Three days ago at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium, Tottenham lost 1-2 to Sevilla.
Although this game did not receive much coverage, losing is definitely not a good thing for the team.
For Bai Baihe fans, Wang Xiaodong's assist in the 86th minute may be an unexpected surprise.
It was his wonderful pass in the backcourt that found the speeding Lennon, who directly shot a rare long-range shot at high speed.
The Sevilla goalkeeper who was halfway through the attack was unable to catch the ball and could only watch the ball go into the net.
An away goal kept the spark for Tottenham's promotion, and also left suspense for the results of the two teams.
Therefore, in this league, Martin Joel does not need to fight with Chelsea at all.
Even if you win, you can't win the championship, and if you lose, you can't fall out of the top three.
If the main players are injured or suspended due to red and yellow cards simply to vent their anger, or to slap the Blues fans in the face, then the gain outweighs the gain.
So after the game started, Mourinho did not incite the fans to cheer for the team as before.
In fact, without his instigation, these fans were so excited that they couldn't help themselves.
On the other side, Manchester United's scouts also appeared in the stands, observing the game nervously.
At Stamford Bridge, Martin Joel still sent out the two sharpest knives on the team.
Seeing Bale and Lennon starting to fly together on both wings, Manchester United scouts temporarily calmed down.
In the first half, when the energy was high, Chelsea stood still under 9 shots from Wang Xiaodong, Bale and Lennon; the Blues also responded with a threatening counterattack, with Drogba and Lampard hitting twice. Hit the post.
Such a wonderful confrontation made the fans excited.
At the beginning of the second half, Chelsea's door was penetrated again.
In the 51st minute of the game, Da Shenglian from the left stepped on his bicycle and suddenly accelerated, passing two defenders quickly, and when the third player stepped forward, he swept the ball across the middle.
Berbatov, who had been prepared for a long time, ignored the opponent's pull and fell to the ground to sweep the lower left corner of the goal.
This tricky and concealed shot prevented Cech from reacting in time and could only watch the ball go into the net.
Seeing this, the Manchester United scouts and Bai Baihe fans in the stands stood up and shouted.
"Hahaha, Tottenham scored again!"
"Yes, just kick like this! Just kick like this!"
"Kick Chelsea the bastard!"
However, before the Manchester United scouts were happy for a long time, Martin Joel did something that shocked all their fans.
He took Wang Xiaodong off the court!
Seeing this operation, the fans were stunned.
"DONG wasn't injured, either?"
"Yes, DONG looks very energetic!"
"And DONG is in good shape. He passed a few good balls and made a few shots. They are all pretty normal!"
"What's going to happen to him?"
After Wang Xiaodong came off the field, Tottenham still maintained their previous style of play. But anyone with a discerning eye can see that Tottenham spend most of their time in the midfield, making it difficult to kick a threatening ball as penetrating as Wang Xiaodong's.
The chicken thief's magic bird also noticed the changes on the field and hurriedly waved his hand to ask the players to attack.
In the 73rd minute, taking advantage of Tottenham's midfield pass error, Sheva intercepted the ball and stepped in at high speed. He used all his accumulated energy and ran forward with the ball.
Tottenham's two central defenders were left more than a meter behind, and they couldn't even pull each other back.
Just like that, he watched helplessly as Sheva rushed to the bottom line with the ball.
Just when Sheva was one step away from taking the ball out of the baseline, he suddenly made a cross. Ledley King, who was outflanked by the defense in the middle, couldn't brake in time. He could only watch the ball fly towards the penalty area.
The god of war Drogba also rushed over at this moment, jumped up in the air in front of the ball, and smashed the ball into the net with his head.
After scoring the goal, Warcraft did not celebrate. Instead, he picked up the ball from the net and quickly returned to the midfield.
For Chelsea, a draw is a defeat.
Tottenham, who was tied, once again performed a mysterious operation.
Replace Bell, who can break out and defend on the wing, and then replace him with a midfielder, seemingly wanting to strengthen the midfield defense.
But it was this substitution. In the 81st minute of the game, Lampard found the space on Tottenham's left with a direct pass.
This time, Sheva stopped the ball comfortably and entered the penalty area without anyone defending.
This time, Sheva did not move forward again, nor did he pass the ball. Instead, he crossed his body directly and swung his right leg.
His thigh waved an elegant arc in the air, and the ball disappeared in an instant. The next second, he appeared in Tottenham's net.
2 to 1, Chelsea achieved a lead.
Seeing this, the Manchester United scouts in the stands were so surprised that they opened their mouths wide, and it took them a long time to react.
He stood up and tore the towel with the Spurs crest into pieces.
"Fake Squid, Tottenham!"
"Go to hell, Martin Joel!"
“Go away, London!!!”
The Blues fans in the stands kept chanting Sheva's name, but the Manchester United scout's curses made people around him look at him frequently.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, how much did this kid buy?"
"One thousand? Ten thousand?"
"Looking at his virtue, he probably bought one hundred thousand!"
"You're really stupid. You'll lose everything just by betting on a dog, right?"
"You curse like this when you lose a ball. Your game quality is really bad!"
The game ended 2-1. Chelsea won wonderfully and Tottenham also played beautifully.
In front of the players' tunnel, Martin Joel stretched out his hand and shook it with Mourinho.
Magic Bird seemed not to be content with shaking hands. He took the initiative to take a step forward, hugged Martin Joel's shoulders, and whispered in his ear: "Thank you, Martin."
"Oh? I don't know why you thanked me." Martin Joel shrugged, with a hint of innocence on his face.
"There was good news just now from the other side of the field." Magic Bird said to himself, "Manchester United lost to Villa 0-2 in the away game! Haha, their good luck has come to an end!"
