Chapter 200 The dust has settled (Part 2)

"The game is over. Leeds United beat Arsenal 2-1 at another venue. But that game is no longer of any use. Blackburn beat Manchester United at home, ending the biggest suspense of this season."

"With Blackburn's 2-1 victory over Manchester United, Manchester United completely lost the chance to win the championship. Blackburn got a place in the League Cup."

"Arsenal has won the league championship for two consecutive years. Wenger's Arsenal defended the league championship. The Premier League finally has a team that can truly compete with Manchester United."

"Look at the fans cheering George's name. When George came to Blackburn from Burnley, he was greeted by boos. But George completely conquered the fans of Ewood Park in one season."

"But George is qualified to accept their cheers. George brought a Blackburn that could only barely stay in the league to the League Cup. Blackburn has made obvious progress this season, and Blackburn next season is even more worth looking forward to."

Looking at the Blackburn players cheering for victory there, Martin Taylor smiled and introduced the result of the game.

Although it is indeed only a place in the League Cup, Blackburn's coach, players and fans all celebrated it as a champion. It is because Blackburn's performance in the past few seasons is too poor.

Blackburn rose quickly and fell quickly. Under Dalglish, Blackburn went from a second-tier team to a Premier League powerhouse. In the end, winning the Premier League championship allowed Blackburn fans to enjoy the best time.

After winning the championship, all Blackburn fans were fantasizing that Blackburn would achieve better results. It would create another glorious history for Blackburn. But they did not expect that after winning the championship, Blackburn's performance would plummet. For three consecutive seasons, various coaches were like a passing visit, and the results were the same as always, and they could only struggle on the relegation line.

It was not until George, who was the least welcome to Blackburn fans, took over Blackburn that Blackburn had the opportunity to participate in European competitions.

With such results as George, how could Blackburn fans not like him?

…………

"Blackburn has overtaken the score." Pat Rice came to Wenger's side and told him the score result of another venue.

"Two to one?" Wenger was stunned, then laughed. Wenger was very anxious because Leeds United was behind in this game. Although even if they lost this game, they could still win the championship as long as they won the last game. But no one can guarantee a win in the last round. Wouldn't it be better to determine the championship in this round?

So I have been standing on the sidelines. Now I heard that Blackburn won two to one, and my heart was finally relieved.

"George is a good young man." Wenger immediately praised George.

Because Arsenal's Premier League championship is stable.

And those Arsenal fans who traveled far away were frustrated throughout the game. But as Blackburn overtook the score, Leeds United's home stadium became their home stadium. The cheers overwhelmed the Leeds United fans.

And the Leeds United players on the field also heard the cheers of Arsenal fans, as well as the frustrated look on the Leeds United bench.

They immediately understood that the score had changed on another field. And it was a change that was not in their favor, so the strong momentum immediately withered.

…………

For the four teams of Manchester United, Arsenal, Blackburn and Leeds United, the last game was no longer important.

Arsenal had already won the Premier League championship, and Blackburn also got the desired UEFA Cup spot. Manchester United's second place was unshakable, and Leeds United's fifth place was no problem. And there was no difference whether it was fifth or sixth.

For these four teams, the last game was a waste of time.

However, the last game for Blackburn was still meaningful. After all, at the beginning of the season, Blackburn was beaten 0-8 by Arsenal at home. That great shame will be printed in Blackburn's history.

And it was a very shameful history. The two games in which Blackburn lost the most goals in a single game in history were actually against Arsenal.

Therefore, although the last game was of little practical value to Blackburn, Blackburn still came to Highbury Stadium with great vigor and vigor. Given Arsenal's status in English football, Highbury Stadium is indeed a bit small.

Highbury Stadium is not only small in size, but also has less than 40,000 seats. Not to mention compared with Wembley Stadium and Old Trafford Stadium, it is much smaller even compared with Anfield Stadium and Stamford Bridge Stadium.

However, as the first giant in London, Arsenal, Highbury is still very well-known.

George came to Highbury this time, but he was fully prepared. He must wash away the hatred of being humiliated by Arsenal at home. Therefore, George even declined the club's plan to celebrate, and after the game with Manchester United, he did not relax at all for the team's training.

Not only George, but also Blackburn fans and players have the same mentality. The last game must wash away the shame no matter what.

However, Blackburn attaches great importance to it, but Arsenal does not care at all.

When George got the Arsenal starting lineup, he almost cried. Because Arsenal, not to mention ordinary substitutes, even some of the players who have been on the bench for thousands of years have played. Some people have not played this season, but they actually played in the game against Blackburn.

Seeing this list, George almost didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Damn, he almost treated this game as an important final. But Arsenal simply treated this game as a chicken rib and sent a few people to play casually.

At this time, their minds were not on this game at all, but on how to celebrate the championship after the game.

George's original idea of ​​defeating the Premier League champion and taking revenge was gone immediately. Before coming, everyone was full of confidence, but when they saw the Arsenal game list, everyone lost their spirit. It felt like a punch on cotton.

Everyone played this game in a daze. Arsenal's side was full of substitutes, while Blackburn players were the main players. Although they were out of spirit, Blackburn still defeated Arsenal 2-0 at Highbury Stadium.

But George didn't have a trace of happiness on his face. What kind of victory was this? Arsenal had already been eager to celebrate their Premier League title and had no time to care about Blackburn. George didn't care about this kind of victory at all.

Those Arsenal fans didn't care about this game at all. They started singing from the beginning of the game. They were all celebrating the Premier League championship.

Even after Blackburn scored, those Arsenal fans applauded. They were thankful for Blackburn's blocking Manchester United in the last round.

"Congratulations, Coach Wenger." After the game, George congratulated Wenger. Then he left Highbury without looking back.

Now the whole Highbury was immersed in a celebration, and George didn't want to get involved.

"Did you see the celebration at Highbury just now?" George was in a general mood and asked the players on the bus back.

"I saw it." Arsenal treated such a game that they valued so much, and all the players were frustrated.

"This is the celebration of the champion. Only the champion is qualified to do so! In competitive sports, except for the champion, nothing else can stand the test of time." George snorted. "So if you want to get that kind of celebration, there is only one way. Champion!"

"When we win the championship in the future, we can also celebrate like them."

…………

With the end of the 38th round of games, the 98-99 Premier League officially came to an end.

The various suspense of the league also began to settle.

Unlike the original history, Manchester United failed to win the Premier League this season. It was Arsenal that won the Premier League championship. This is also the second Premier League championship won by Wenger in two and a half years after he took over Arsenal.

George understands that as he coaches a Premier League team, especially a team like Blackburn that has won the Premier League championship. George's influence on English football and world football will become greater and greater. Changing the Premier League championship this season is just the first step. In the future, there will definitely be more and more things that go against the original history.

So far, the Premier League has been held for seven seasons. Blackburn won one Premier League title, Arsenal won two Premier League titles, and the remaining four Premier League titles were won by Manchester United. In addition to Blackburn, the upstart that suddenly rose, Manchester United and Arsenal are both top teams in English history.

From last season and this season, it can be found that the two most powerful teams that can win the Premier League are Manchester United and Arsenal. Whether it is Chelsea, Liverpool or Newcastle, they have no strength to challenge these two teams. The battle between Manchester United and Arsenal in the Premier League has begun.

Of course, there are also teams that have made great progress this season, including Leeds United and West Ham United. These two teams are teams that have made very fast progress this season. West Ham United has become a Premier League powerhouse under the leadership of Redknapp.

And Leeds United, led by O'Leary, has set off a youth storm in the Premier League.

Blackburn is a team that cannot be ignored. As the only team that has won the Premier League title besides Manchester United and Arsenal, Blackburn's rise has also attracted a lot of attention. Especially this season, it won a place in the League Cup.

These are the teams that performed relatively well in the Premier League this season.

Every time a league ends, the most indispensable thing is the relegation team. The relegated teams this season are Nottingham Forest, Charlton Athletic, and Southampton.

As the three teams promoted from the English League One last season, Nottingham Forest is the only relegated team. Middlesbrough is the best, ranking ninth in the Premier League. And Burnley, led by Rodel, has average results. It ranks fourteenth in the Premier League.

But no matter what, this season's Premier League is finally over.

George's first Premier League season is over.

There was only one update yesterday, and I apologize to everyone here, because the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department didn't know whether it was an inspection, a meeting or a vacation, anyway, they chose our county as the meeting place.

So we are a little busy. I apologize to everyone again.
