In the last round of the Premier League, there are many media attention. The focus is Liverpool vs. Charlton and Millwall vs. Arsenal. The teams being watched are Liverpool and Arsenal. In the last round, they will decide which team will become fourth in the league.

The fourth-ranked ranking in the league is very important, and it is related to the last UEFA Champions League place in the Premier League.

Liverpool and Arsenal are both traditional Premier League semi-finals. The Champions League teams have been able to compete with Millwall, Manchester United and Chelsea since they squeezed in.

This is a bit tragic.

Professional football is so cruel. On the other hand, if the two teams can compete with Manchester United and Chelsea, there will naturally be no problem of "competing for fourth place", so they still perform poorly.

Interestingly, many Arsenal supporters support the media to watch the game interview with Liverpool, and many Liverpool supporters support the media to watch the game interview with Arsenal.

These media will naturally stand in the villain camp.

Ahem...

As Arsenal's opponent, Millwall is naturally the "villain" camp.

Millwall is no longer a team that was considered an unpopular when he first entered the Premier League. With two consecutive Premier League titles, they have become the boss team that is 'being defeated'.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as "villain".

Arsenal seemed to have become the boss' territory, wanting to defeat the boss's equipment.

Except for the Liverpool media that came, most media support Arsenal, because Millwall's support media actually overlaps with Arsenal's support media. Both teams are in the London region. Compared with Liverpool in the northern team, the media naturally tends to be more inclined to Arsenal.

In addition, the game doesn't matter to Millwall, but it's very important to Arsenal.

Even Millwall's loyalist Telecommunications Sports said, "I hope Arsenal can win this game and strive to advance to the top four in the league, so that there will be three teams in the top three in the London region!"

The London media were finally able to raise their heads proudly.

Since the establishment of the Premier League, football in the south has been suppressed by the north for more than ten years. The reason is very simple, because there is a team in the north called Manchester United.

Manchester United is the overlord of the Premier League.

Before 2003, only Arsenal could slightly challenge Manchester United's dominance and occasionally help the Southern team win a league championship trophy.

After 2003, the Southern team did not achieve suppression.

There are three teams in the north who are all very strong, one is Manchester United, one is Liverpool, and the other is Everton.

Needless to say, Manchester United and Liverpool are not underestimated, and they can occasionally make it to the top four and top six, which is a force that cannot be ignored.

The south is almost the same.

The representative teams of the South are Chelsea and Arsenal. Since Millwall's rise, the South team has had the momentum to suppress the North. However, last season, Arsenal qualified to participate in the Champions League with the Champions League championship, and their league ranking is only fifth.

Among the top four teams, there are still two of them that are Northern teams.

This season, Southern Media is finally expected to see that three of the top four teams are from London, and a large group of London media support Arsenal to defeat Millwall.

Zhang Yang certainly won’t consider these factors.

From an outsider's perspective, there is no difference between the south and the north of England. Anyway, they are all England teams. In terms of hostility, Chelsea, which is also a London team, has become Millwall's absolute enemy. In comparison, Manchester United are far behind. Who made Chelsea compete with Millwall for the league championship?

In this case, what does the relationship between the south and the north?

Zhang Yang is only considering the team situation.

The last round of the league is only one week away from the Champions League final, which must be considered, so the coaching staff arranged a large number of substitutes, and only those who need to play and maintain their form will get the opportunity.

For example, Quaresma.

Quaresma failed to make the roster in the last round. If he did not play again, he would not play for more than half a month in the Champions League final. Zhang Yang was worried that he would forget to play and would naturally be assigned to play.

Other players, including veteran Smitchell and Pire, failed to make the roster, and Morris and Sean Davis did not play, and the midfielder was arranged by Braniff and veteran Harman.

Braniff was suspended for the Champions League, so the Premier League had no effect. He happened to make due contributions to the team in the last round of the match against Arsenal.

Haman is very good at abilities, but he is too old and can only occasionally come on as a substitute to reduce the team's game pressure.

Before the game, Zhang Yang said to Braniff, "You can only sit in the audience stands in the finals. This is the last game. Look at the lineup, you also know that the game can only depend on you. Do you understand what I mean?"

Braniff was very excited.

Those "competitive" teammates did not appear, and even the striker was arranged by Curtis Weston. It can be said that he is the real big star on the court, which is simply the best performance stage.

Millwall, who else can he see if he doesn't look at it?

Braniff couldn't wait.

When the two teams officially debuted, the Liverpool media suddenly burst into dissatisfaction.

"All substitutes..."

"Look at their lineup, how many main players are there?"

"Blatantly let the water go!"

"Milwall should have a fair playing spirit! They should line up all the main players and deal with the last round of games seriously!"

"Zhang Yang must have done this on purpose because of his personal relationship with Wenger! Let the money go to Arsenal! Liverpool cannot compete for the top four!"

"Boycott! Oppose!"

"There is a dark side!"

“…”

Many Liverpool supporters almost shouted slogans because Millwall's lineup is really too dismal, and they completely act like "unwilling to invest energy". I'm afraid the players who appear will do the same?

The hope of defeating Arsenal in such a lineup is too slim, not to mention how hard the players on the field will work.

But the game is so important to Liverpool!

Before two rounds of the league, Liverpool had three more points than Arsenal, but after losing to Millwall, their points were tied by Arsenal. Then they lost to Fulham in the last round, which meant that they did not get points in two rounds of games. Arsenal won one game, draw one game, and the draw opponent was Chelsea. Arsenal was in a very good condition.

Liverpool has one point less than Arsenal. If you want to win the top four in the league, it depends on the face of your competitors.

Millwall lets the water go like this, won’t Liverpool have no chance?

However, only Liverpool supporters, other media and fans do not care about it. Instead, they think that Millwall is good at playing well and is very valuable. No matter what the "fair competitive spirit" they do, it is more important for Arsenal, as a London team, to squeeze into the top four of the league. As for Liverpool... let's play in the Europa League!

In such an atmosphere, the game between the two teams began.

Perhaps Arsenal is also "grateful" Millwall for sending a substitute. Such things cannot be said in public, but the opponent will voluntarily "give up" the game, which will always be much better.

At the beginning of the game, Arsenal also took advantage of the opening game to win goals and lay a foundation for the advantage of victory.

Soon they found it was not easy.

Millwall is indeed a substitute, but the players who play are experienced and calm, such as midfield veterans Harman, defenders Traore, Wes Morgan and other players, all of whom are more focused on "stability", so Millwall's defense is very good.

Millwall's frontcourt was a little out of the way.

Among the eleven-man lineup, only Braniff, Quaresma and Curtis Weston, among which Weston and Braniff are relatively active, and Quaresma can also provide a lot of support on the wing.

In this way, the three offensive players, relying solely on quick counterattacks, brought considerable trouble to Arsenal.

In this game, Millwall firmly played defensive counterattack, and even when it was head-on, he used a fast attack method. He could find a good opportunity and immediately retreated to defend. This style of play made Arsenal, who was eager to establish an advantage, play a little passive.

In Millwall's fast break, Weston, Blanev and Quaresma were all very threatening.

Weston is the fastest, but because of his youth, little experience and limited ability, his threat is the least.

Quaresma is the second.

Quaresma is a pure wing forward, with no problem with speed. His rich experience and superb footwork skills also make him feel as good as water on the wing. He repeatedly sends support to the middle, and also makes Arsenal's defense very shaking.

Weston's threat is indeed small, but if Weston receives a pass in the middle, it can also pose a threat to Arsenal's goal.

The one that caused Arsenal the most headache was Braniff.

Braniff has become a European topic because he was suspended by UEFA. His ability seems to be somewhat ignored. Because he wants to participate in the Champions League final, the object of discussion has been transferred to players such as Morris, Darren Bent, especially Darren Bent. Although he has not participated in the fight, the "playful" goal against AC Milan has focused many media and fans on him. Many people also believe that Darren Bent will become a key player in the match between Mirwall and Chelsea.

Now Arsenal players are scolding UEFA, "Why don't you ban Braniff from all over Europe! Maybe you can't ban the game..."

If the entire European ban is suspended, you will not be able to participate in the Premier League.

That's good news!

There are also benefits of not banning the game. A major player like Braniff will definitely be on the Millwall roster for the Champions League final.
Chapter completed!
