Starting with saving Manchester United

Chapter 106: The Premier League season has come to an end!

"Goal!!"

"In the 76th minute, in the 76th minute, Manchester United finally broke the deadlock!"

"At the crucial moment, Fletcher delivered a diagonal pass from the right wing, and Fellaini headed the ball into the net, giving Manchester United the lead!"

"1 to 0!"

"Fellaini stepped up at the most crucial moment of the game."

"That header was very powerful, and the angle was just right."

After scoring, Fellaini didn't turn around to celebrate. Instead, he sprinted towards Southampton's goal, grabbed the ball from inside the net, and ran back to midfield.

Manchester United players were about to rush out to celebrate.

But when they saw Fellaini's actions, they all ran back.

On the sidelines, Yang Fan jumped up in excitement the moment Fellaini scored.

Seeing the players running back, he immediately reacted, rushed to the sidelines, and shouted loudly, "Keep the pressure on, try to score another goal, and seal the victory!"

After shouting, Yang Fan turned around and walked to the away team's bench, called out to Hernandez, and signaled him to warm up quickly and be ready to come on at any time.

?

1-0 is the most insecure score in the world!

Yang Fan wasn't sure if Pochettino would go all out in the upcoming matches.

The game has restarted.

Yang Fan no longer cared about the result from Norwich.

His only thought right now is to make sure he wins this game.

Southampton, being the home team, launched a counterattack immediately after conceding a goal.

Pochettino was clearly aware of Manchester United's intentions, so when they launched a counterattack, the defense did not overextend itself.

This put Yang Fan at ease a little.

But in the final minutes of the match, Southampton suddenly began to intensify their attack.

In the 88th minute, Southampton attempted to send the ball into the penalty area to find Lambert during an attack.

Vidic cleared the ball first, kicking it towards his own 30-meter outfield.

Fellaini judged the landing point and jumped at the same time as Schneiderlin to compete for the header.

The Belgians got to the ball and headed it towards the bottom of their own half's center circle.

Mata quickly chased after the ball, stopped it on the left side of the center circle, and then accelerated to catch up, dribbling into Southampton's half.

When he caught up with the ball again, Mata didn't continue dribbling, but instead made a through pass with his left foot, sending the ball right to the left side of the attacking third.

Van Persie received the ball on the left side of Southampton's two center-backs, turned sideways, took control, and charged forward.

"Manchester United's fast counter-attack."

"Van Persie dribbles the ball along the left flank."

"Look at Manchester United's attack this time."

"Stop abruptly, slow down, and then wade into the restricted area."

"Van Persie passes with his left foot!!"

"Find Rooney at the far post!"

Between the Dutch striker and Rooney, there were three towering figures.

They are Lovren, José Fonte, and Hoyveld.

有趣的是，三人的身高是从左到右，依次递增，分别是1米88、1米91和1米93。

This is a bit outrageous!

Rooney, who was positioned at the far post to receive the pass, is only 1.76 meters tall.

How do I send it?

Van Persie used a very clever trick, passing the ball high.

The football followed a parabola, landing just outside the right corner of Southampton's six-yard box.

Lovren and José Fonte in front couldn't reach it at all.

Hoyveld, who was furthest back, jumped to try and clear the danger, but blocked the shot.

The football barely grazed Hoywerde's head as it fell.

Almost simultaneously, Rooney quickly caught up, and before the ball could land, he grabbed it with his right foot and unleashed a powerful volley.

Lu Xiaopang struck the ball precisely, and it hurtled towards the left side of Southampton's goal with lightning speed.

Moreover, the ball's momentum has been reduced.

The football grazed the underside of the crossbar and nestled into the Saints' goal.

"GOLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"2 to 0!!"

"88th minute! 88th minute! Rooney! Rooney scores!!!"

"A brilliant pass from Van Persie, followed by a stunning volley from Rooney, sealed the victory for Manchester United!"

This time, all the Manchester United players chased after Rooney and Van Persie.

Yang Fan, standing in front of the away team's coaching bench, jumped up again in excitement, only to be embraced by Mike Phelan and Steve Lund as soon as he landed.

Everyone seemed exceptionally excited and thrilled.

2 is better than 0!

We won the game!

Carroll Road Stadium.

After Jenkinson tied the score at 1-1, Norwich went absolutely crazy.

Neil Adams, in particular, went all out without hesitation.

Defensive midfielder Tetti was substituted.

They brought on striker Loza.

Defender Olsen was substituted off and replaced by striker Hooper.

They made two substitutions in quick succession, both of which involved replacing defensive players with forwards.

This is clearly an attempt to intensify the attack.

A tense atmosphere suddenly arose in front of Arsenal's goal.

Wenger had no choice but to make a quick adjustment, replacing Ramsey with Diaby.

The professor wanted to use Diaby, who is 1.91 meters tall, as a center-back and have Sagna move to the wing.

Flamini also came up to strengthen the midfield defense.

With this shift in momentum, Norwich became increasingly aggressive, while Arsenal maintained a solid defense.

The final substitution further revealed Wenger's mindset.

Wilshere replaced Giroud.

Podolski led the counter-attack.

Under these circumstances, Arsenal's situation is predictable.

Especially from the 80th minute onwards, Norwich were almost completely dominating Arsenal.

Loza took a shot, which was saved by goalkeeper Szczesny and went out of bounds.

The ensuing corner kick attack also created a dangerous situation in front of Arsenal's goal.

In the final minutes of the match, Szczesny became one of the busiest players on the field, making saves against shots from Snodgrass, Howe, Hooper, and others.

The Polish goalkeeper held his nerve and kept Arsenal's goal intact with a series of brilliant saves.

When referee Lee Mason blew the final whistle, Szczesny collapsed in front of the goal, utterly exhausted.

Arsenal's players stood frozen in place, panting heavily.

In the final moments of the match, Norwich, desperate to avoid relegation, unleashed an incredible, albeit brief, burst of brilliance, playing at an exceptionally high level.

But Arsenal held on!

The moment the whistle blew, Wenger, completely lost in the moment, rushed onto the pitch, raised his hands high, and ran wildly, cheering and shouting incessantly.

He lost his composure!

I'm so excited!

Even in the final moments of the match, Arsenal remained in constant danger.

Because Wenger is always aware of how the other match is going.

His heart was practically in his throat the whole time.

Fortunately, the final outcome was good.

1 is better than 1!

Arsenal held on to a draw, and also secured fourth place in the league!

Let's congratulate Arsenal!

"Arsenal held their goal despite Norwich's almost frantic attack."

"The 1-1 result allowed Arsenal to achieve their goal of finishing fourth in the league."

Wenger seemed extremely excited.

"Participating in the Champions League is a very lucrative benefit for any top team."

"The final round of 10 matches has also concluded."

Manchester City secured a hard-fought 2-0 victory over West Ham United at home, clinching the Premier League title this season!

"Having won the league title twice in three years, Manchester City has quietly become a formidable force in the Premier League!"

"We even have reason to expect that Manchester City is beginning a dynasty in the Premier League!"

"Here, we would also like to congratulate Arsenal."

"Although the process was somewhat dangerous, and the final stages of the match were rather chaotic, Arsenal ultimately secured a comfortable fourth place in the league, a testament to Wenger and his players' hard work throughout the season!"

"Of course, we also feel sorry for Norwich."

"They played exceptionally well in that final match, and they were incredibly tenacious. At one point, they even saw a glimmer of hope for avoiding relegation."

"Unfortunately, Jenkinson's goal completely extinguished that hope!"

"Currently, all the Premier League standings are out."

"The top four teams to secure a Champions League spot are Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Arsenal."

"The three teams that were relegated were Norwich, Cardiff and Fulham."

"In addition, the two teams that have already secured promotion spots are Leicester City and Burnley."

"The final promoted team will not be known until the upcoming promotion playoffs."

There was no applause at St. Mary's Stadium when referee Mike Dean blew the final whistle.

The 0-2 scoreline left Southampton fans anything but happy.

This match means nothing to the Saints.

If they win, they're 8th in the league; if they lose, they're still 8th.

However, the result was disappointing for Manchester United.

They won!

Yang Fan led the team to nine league matches and achieved a nine-game winning streak.

From trailing Arsenal by 18 points, we kept chasing and chasing until now, and we're just a little bit short.

In the end, they still couldn't catch up.

Only 1 points away!

At the moment the match ended, upon learning that Arsenal had drawn 1-1 with Norwich away from home, all the Manchester United players collapsed on the pitch.

Everyone looked extremely disappointed!

Even though I've tried my best and worked so hard, why haven't I achieved my goal?

"This is the kind of result that many people were saying before the last round of matches, the one that would have the biggest impact on Manchester United."

"Manchester United fought tooth and nail to win the game, but in the end, they still couldn't secure a top-four finish in the league."

"For Yang Fan, who is only 25 years old, this is definitely not the result he wanted most."

"After he took over Manchester United, they won game after game, and the Red Devils' performance improved with each match."

"But in the end, they still lost the battle for fourth place in the league!"

"But we must say that Manchester United should not be disappointed, because they lost with honor."

"More importantly, they still have a chance!"

"That's the Champions League final!"

According to UEFA regulations, if Manchester United defeats Real Madrid in the Champions League final and wins the Champions League title, they will qualify for next season's Champions League as the defending champions, edging out fourth-placed Arsenal!

"This is UEFA's reward to the defending champions!"

Therefore, what Yang Fan and the Manchester United players should do most now is to quickly regroup and focus on preparing for May 24th.

The Champions League final is being held in Lisbon, Portugal!

"Even if we assume, hypothetically, that Yang Fan and Manchester United lost to Real Madrid in the Champions League final, no one would blame them, because they had already performed exceptionally well."

"Especially Yang Fan, who is only 25 years old."

"He took over the team in mid-to-late March, and so far, he has done the best a head coach can do."

"If we really have to blame someone, we can only blame his predecessor for losing too much and falling too far behind."

When Saints head coach Pochettino came over to shake hands with Yang Fan, he also offered a few words of comfort.

Yang Fan slowly walked onto the field and helped each of his players up one by one.

Everyone was disappointed.

Because betting heavily on the Champions League final is too risky.

Real Madrid is just too strong!

But no one cried, and no one gave up.

Because no one knows better than themselves just how difficult it has been for Manchester United to get to where they are today this season.

They will fight with all their might as long as there is even the slightest chance!
