After talking about the three teams in the relegation zone, as well as Everton, who finally managed to get ashore, let us now take a look at the lucky ones who have qualified to participate in the UEFA Cup next season.

Although the FA Cup final has not yet started, but now that the war in the Premier League has been completely extinguished, England's three UEFA Cup qualification places have been basically determined-Millwall, Liverpool and Newcastle have qualified for this UEFA Cup. He became the final winner in the battle and got a precious European spot!

By the way, if there is a selection among the twenty Premier League teams this season to choose which club is the most disappointing, then most fans will definitely choose between Bolton and Newcastle. Come out with one.

The reason why Newcastle is also on the list is because the Magpies, who won third place in the Premier League last season under the leadership of Robson, have used their poor performance this season to perfectly explain what it means to be pig-like. Teammates - the Magpies management headed by Sheppard burned bridges after the team qualified for the Champions League, accusing Robson Sr. of investing too much in the transfer market but failing to bring a championship trophy of sufficient weight; Sr. Robson The group of young talents who were strongly promoted also began to disobey discipline under Sheppard's deliberate connivance after their performance, thinking that they had strong wings and did not need an old man to judge them every day; even Magpie fans were interested in the team qualifying for the Champions League. Later, he came to Longwangshu and put forward higher requirements for old Robson!

Not only do they require the head coach to lead the team to achieve better results, but they don’t want to give the other side much real money to strengthen the lineup, and they always encourage the players and fans to cause trouble behind their backs... Sheppard and the Magpies’ management used a series of Facts have proved that there is no stupidest, only stupider!

After all, not every head coach has Wenger’s ability to help the club sell their main players in the transfer market every year to make a profit, while also ensuring that the team wins a Champions League at the end of the season. seats.

Therefore, to lead such a troubled Newcastle team to sixth place in the Premier League and qualify for a UEFA Cup, the old Robson can actually be said to be quite remarkable.

It is precisely for this reason that people list Newcastle as one of the worst teams - they obviously have the ability to compete for the Champions League, but they almost fell out of the European theater because of the club's internal strife and the management's stupidity. are eligible to compete for this seat.

As for Liverpool, which is ranked fifth, not many fans feel sorry for the Red Army's league ranking this season. Last season, fans would have felt sorry for Liverpool. After all, Liverpool was the league leader for at least a while at that time, but in the end it fell to fifth place in the league due to injuries to its main players. This season, Liverpool was left behind by the first group from the very beginning. It relied on a surge in the second half to reach fifth place in the league. It can be said that it is quite lucky to qualify for the UEFA Cup. , how can anyone still feel pity for it?

The reason why fans choose Bolton is because this club is so unlucky. Not to mention that it is difficult for Bolton to recruit high-level local players due to historical issues. Take this season as an example. Under the leadership of Allardyce, they finally reached the League Cup final, but they met Tottenham in the final and lost to them. Unfortunately, they missed the championship trophy. Only one League Cup runner-up was achieved.

The most annoying thing is that according to the relevant regulations of the Football Association, the winners of the League Cup and FA Cup can automatically get a seat in the UEFA Cup. If the team that wins the League Cup has already qualified for the Champions League, then the League Cup qualification will not be filled by the runner-up team like the FA Cup, but will be transferred to the team with the highest league ranking. , and there is no team that has qualified for the European competition!

This also means that Bolton, who finished second in the League Cup but only ranked ninth in the league, will lose the qualification to participate in the UEFA Cup next season! Millwall, which has already reached the FA Cup final, can get a seat in the UEFA Cup regardless of the result!

Therefore, there is naturally not much controversy in ranking Bolton as the most unlucky Premier League club this season.

Allardyce was naturally very dissatisfied with this result and frequently fired shots at the FA, believing that this extremely unreasonable system should be changed. However, although Big Sam is considered the number one figure in the English coaching circle, in the eyes of the Football Association, he is still just a person with a low profile. Therefore, Allardyce's request was simply ignored by the Football Association and did not cause any waves at all.

Now let’s take a look at the four teams that have qualified for next season’s European Champions League. After sending away Beckham last summer and officially entering the reconstruction period, Manchester United created their lowest league ranking since the establishment of the Premier League this season. Although fourth place in the league can guarantee Manchester United a place in the Champions League next season, Ferguson is extremely dissatisfied with it - after all, Manchester United fell from last season's league championship to fourth place just without Beckham. , doesn’t this mean that his previous decision to sell Beckham was wrong?

For the face-saving Ferguson, this is something he absolutely cannot tolerate. Therefore, the main culprit that caused Manchester United to withdraw from the title race, Tim Howard, who made constant low-level mistakes in the second half of the season, was unlucky and was directly relegated to the sidelines by Ferguson. If nothing else, unless Howard suddenly enlightens and leaps into the ranks of top goalkeepers, the American goalkeeper will never become Manchester United's main goalkeeper one day.

Chelsea, who finished third in the Premier League this season, is not stable at this time. Although Ranieri led the Blues to the club's best result in England's top league in nearly half a century, the third-place finish did not satisfy Abramovich. Especially after Abramovich witnessed George turning Tottenham from a team that couldn't even qualify for the European competition to a Premier League runner-up, while Chelsea, which had better foundation and invested more, ranked behind Tottenham in the league. , when he was eliminated by Monaco in the Champions League, the Russian tycoon who already felt that the tinker did not have the temperament of a wealthy coach naturally felt that he was being trusted by others.

Therefore, after leading Chelsea to defeat the struggling Leeds United, Ranieri received a termination notice from Chelsea management, ending his four-year coaching career with the Blues! Mobile phone users please browse and read for a better reading experience.
