Chapter 1275 Defending the Premier League title

Haaland always keeps himself in a zone between offside and not offside.

This makes him look casual, but in fact, if there is a pause, you will definitely find that every time the Leeds United midfielder gets the ball, he must have withdrawn to a position that is not offside.

Mbappe tried to cut in from the left, but the connection with Haaland was completely cut off.

Newcastle's defense has too many numbers.

With five defenders and four midfielders all retreating, there will be nine players on the penalty area line and outside, forming two lines of defense.

When Grealish tried to push forward with the ball, Haaland retreated from the offside line, ready to rush forward at any time.

As a result, Grealish's dribbling was intercepted by Newcastle's two defensive midfielders, Hayden and Ki Sung-yung. After intercepting the ball, Ki Sung-yung dribbled the ball forward in an attempt to plan a counterattack.

This immediately caused the nearly 50,000 Magpies fans at St. James Park Stadium to scream in surprise.

But as soon as he reached the midfield and entered Rodri's defensive zone, the Spanish midfielder quickly moved up to him.

Ki Sung-yong reacted quickly enough and passed the ball forward first.

In a hurry, this pass was passed to the feet of striker Rondon, but Ruben Dias behind him poked the ball away first, and the ball was picked up by Leeds United left back Robertson.

After Robertson got the ball, he quickly advanced along the left rib.

At this time, both Mbappe and Grealish reacted immediately.

The French winger immediately ran towards the left wing, trying to open up the defense.

Newcastle's right back Manquillo followed Mbappe immediately.

Just kidding, this is one of the best and most in-form attackers in European football after the World Cup. He is the top scorer in both the Premier League and the Champions League this season. Who dares to be careless?

Grealish moved forward immediately, attracting the right center back Lascelles, so that he was right between the center back and the midfielder. When Robertson advanced with the ball in front of the midfielder Hayden, he quickly

Passed the ball to Grealish.

After passing the ball, Robertson avoided Hayden and moved forward as quickly as possible, directly behind Lascelles.

Grealish stops the ball and turns around. He has many ways to deal with it. He can pass to the left to find Mbappe, or he can pass directly to Robertson, but there is another point, and that is Haaland.

The cunning Norwegian youngster actually pulled Newcastle defender Scheer back, trying to retreat to meet Robertson and Grealish.

In this way, Robertson's quick forward movement was more like a back-row insertion, hitting a hole in Newcastle's defense and attracting the attention of three defensive players, Hayden, Lascelles and Scheer, but he was offside.

At this moment, Haaland, who retreated, quietly raised his right hand.

Grealish understood the idea and rushed towards Lascelles with the dribbling ball. It looked like he was going to cooperate with Mbappe and Robertson on the left wing and left rib. After attracting the attention of the defense, the outside instep suddenly sent it out.

A diagonal pass.

The football was passed diagonally from the left side of the penalty area to the top of the arc.

I saw Haaland quickly step in, use his body to squeeze away another Newcastle defender Dumet, stop the ball with his right foot, and turn sideways, keeping Dumet behind him, and stabilized it slightly.

Body shape.

When Scheer reacted and quickly pounced on Haaland, the Norwegian teenager blasted a shot with his left foot.

The football flew into Newcastle's goal with lightning speed.

Goalkeeper Dubravka flew sideways, but was still out of reach.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!"

"Haaland!!!"

"It's Haaland again!!!!"

"In the 87th minute, Leeds United completed a very wonderful teamwork. Haaland used his body to squeeze away Dumet, created an opportunity to kick the goal in the penalty area, and seized this opportunity.

Great scoring opportunity!”

"Three to two!!!"

"This is the role of a high center forward!"

"This is Majin Buu Harland!"

At the moment the goal was scored, the entire St. James Park stadium screamed.

Gao Shen and others cheered crazily.

In the stadium, after Haaland scored, he quickly rushed to the sidelines and sat down on the ground with his feet crossed, as if he was sitting in meditation with his five hearts in the sky.

This is his carefully designed goal celebration!

Leeds United players caught up one after another, and even goalkeeper Alisson kept roaring and shouting in front of the goal.

Three to two!

Leeds United surpassed the score again!

"Leeds United played very tenaciously tonight and took the lead twice, but were equalized by Newcastle twice."

"The ball possession rate reached 70%, and the number of shots was far more than Newcastle, but we just couldn't get the goal advantage."

"On the contrary, Newcastle only took 7 shots in the game and scored two goals. It was very efficient."

"This is a key matchup. Leeds United needs a victory to win the Premier League championship this season in advance. Everyone knows this, but precisely because of this, Leeds United's performance tonight was not ideal."

"But now, at the critical moment, Haaland stepped forward and used a calm shot to help Leeds United surpass the score again."

"Looking at the entire scoring process, Haaland's movement was very smart. He was always seizing the opportunity, waiting for support from his teammates, and when the opportunity appeared, he decisively seized this moment of opportunity."

“The youngster from Leeds United has made a huge impression!”

"He's scored in four games in a row!"

"Let us remember his name..."

"Erling Haaland!!!"

In the southwest of Leeds, when the commentator's call came from the live broadcast, all the Leeds United fans responded frantically, shouting Haaland's name in unison.

Everyone was cheering hoarsely.

Three to two!

This goal is worth thousands of dollars to Leeds United!

The whole sky above Elland Road was filled with the cheers of Leeds United fans.

After Haaland scored a goal to beat Newcastle, the game was basically no longer suspense.

Although the Magpies tried to press out and attack, they were unable to do anything and ultimately failed to reverse the situation.

With goals from Vardy, Mbappe and Haaland, Leeds United defeated Newcastle 3-2 in an away game and won this season's Premier League championship one round ahead of schedule.

When the referee's whistle sounded, the Leeds United players rushed into the field crazily and celebrated without any knowledge.

Pochettino and the coaching staff also hugged each other.

"Let's congratulate Leeds United!"

"They became the fourth team in the history of the Premier League to successfully defend the title!"

"This is also the second Premier League championship trophy in the history of Leeds United and the fifth top-flight championship trophy."

"We can be very sure that Leeds United today has become a powerful force that cannot be underestimated in the Premier League."

"Especially this group of young players, like Mbappe, Haaland, and Grealish, they are all very outstanding young players, but this is the second time they have won the Premier League championship.

superior."

"More importantly, Leeds United has basically got a ticket to the Champions League final this season. This will be the second time the White Rose has reached the Champions League final. The last time they lost to Real Madrid, but this season's Champions League final is

Held at Leeds United’s Amazon Stadium, fighting at home, I believe Leeds United have a chance to win this championship.”

The entire St James' Park stadium became a stage for Leeds United celebrations.

Especially the White Rose fans in a remote corner of the stands gave the loudest cheers in the audience.

At this moment, in this stadium, no one can cover up the voices of Leeds United fans!

In another stadium, Manchester City faced Leicester City at the Etihad Stadium.

This is also a hard fight.

Manchester City has played very hard in recent rounds of the league, and this round also struggled against Leicester City. In the end, they defeated Leicester City with difficulty thanks to Kompany's world-beating kick.

They are still hoping for a miracle.

But at St. James' Park, they did not wait for a miracle.

Harland's goal completely killed all suspense!

The battle for the league championship is finally settled!

In the chairman's stand, Gao Shen breathed a sigh of relief after celebrating with Lucas, Borrell and others.

Winning this championship is still full of special meaning for Leeds United.

Because this means that Leeds United has truly established a foothold among the top teams in the Premier League.

This will have a huge promotion significance for the team's subsequent business operations, especially in the negotiations with some sponsors.

With only one championship, everyone will worry that Leeds United will be a flash in the pan, but now that you have successfully defended the title, what is more convincing than this?

What's more important is money.

According to preliminary estimates, the winning team in the Premier League this year will receive a bonus of about 150 million pounds. Regardless of whether Leeds United can reach the Champions League final or win the championship, based on current results, the Champions League bonus will be at least about 90 million pounds.

If we can reach the finals or even win the championship, it will at least exceed 100 million pounds.

In other words, from these two pieces of money alone, Leeds United can get more than 200 million pounds.

The reason why there are so many Champions League games actually depends on the prize pool.

The Premier League's prize pool in European competitions also reaches 108 million euros, of which nearly 70 million euros are awarded to the Champions League, and the remaining 40 million is distributed to participating teams in the Europa League.

But don't underestimate this.

The Premier League has always had the largest prize pool in Europe, followed by Ligue 1 with 83 million euros, La Liga with 81.6 million euros, and Serie A with 70.5 million euros.

Germany's economy is the best in Europe, but its revenue from European broadcast rights is the lowest. The bonus pool is only 5,730 euros, which is almost half of the Premier League.

This is also because the Premier League has a high economic level, a large population, and high enthusiasm for football.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable for foreign capital to be interested in the Premier League.

At least from a market perspective, the scale of the Premier League is really huge.

What's more, there are overseas markets with unlimited potential and rapid development.

Gao Shen now needs Leeds United to prepare in advance, especially in terms of funds, to deal with possible mask incidents in 2020.

Of course, he hoped it would be best not to show up, but he still had to be cautious in everything, and it was better to be prepared.

"Let's go to the locker room and celebrate with the players!"

Gao Shen calmed down and greeted Su Qing, Lucas and others with a smile.

No one knows what will happen in the future, but right now, Leeds United is the successfully defending Premier League champion!
