The Strongest Demon Front

"Will Manchester United be the league champions this year?"

The reporter asked Guardiola.

"Maybe, maybe not, I don't know." Guardiola refused to answer.

...

"Will Manchester United be the league champions this year?"

The reporter asked Ferguson.

"I hope it is, but it's difficult. If it is, I will be very happy; if not, I believe it will not take too long to win the championship. I have full confidence in my players." Ferguson smiled.

...

"Will Manchester United be the league champions this year?"

The reporter asked Conte.

"I still believe that the initiative of the championship is in our hands." Conte was expressionless.

...

Will Manchester United be the league champions this year?

After the Manchester derby, this topic became the most concerned topic of fans in the entire British Isles and even the whole world as Manchester United reached the top.

Countless people, whether professionals or ordinary fans, have thrown themselves into this discussion.

"Compared to points, Manchester United is ahead of Chelsea. They seem to have won the initiative to win the championship. But in fact, the team with the most hope of winning the league championship is still Chelsea."

"The reason is simple, Chelsea have the advantage. And, the advantage is huge."

The remarks of Zeiss Schurrle Quint (cxk), a senior French football columnist, represent the views of the vast majority of neutral groups.

There are three rounds left in the league.

Manchester United and Chelsea also have a make-up match each.

Combined, both teams have their final four games remaining.

After excluding the last round of direct dialogue, Manchester United's opponents are Arsenal (May 7, away), Tottenham Hotspur (May 14, away), Southampton (May 17, league 28th round make-up, away).

Three consecutive away games.

And the opponents are very strong.

Manchester United's upcoming schedule will be very difficult.

And what about Chelsea?

Compared with Manchester United, Chelsea's schedule is obviously much easier.

Their next games will face Middlesbrough (May 8, home), West Bromwich Albion (May 12, away) and Watford (May 15, home).

Two hosts, one guest, and they are both relatively weak opponents.

Middlesbrough has been relegated. West Bromwich Albion and Watford are both outside the top ten in the league.

As long as Chelsea doesn't kill themselves, a three-game winning streak is also a normal result.

The Arsenal, Tottenham and Southampton that Manchester United met are all fighting for the European qualification for next season. If you want to score points against these opponents, and it is still an away game, the difficulty of the game can be imagined.

and.

In addition to the great difference in the difficulty of the league schedule, there are also obvious differences in the competition environment of the two teams in the European competition schedule.

Chelsea are out of Europe.

Manchester United reached the semi-finals of the Europa League.

After knocking out Belgium's Anderlecht, United met Spanish powerhouse Celta Vigo in the semi-finals.

The semi-finals will be held on May 4th and May 11th, respectively.

If United can knock out Celta Vigo, they will also face the winner between Ajax and Lyon on May 24, three days after the final league game against Chelsea.

The Europa League final can be put aside for now.

The game against Vigo Celta was played in the league interval. When Chelsea is playing leisurely on one line, Manchester United still needs to go to three league away games, as well as the European arena, exhausted to cope with the two fronts.

Chelsea's schedule advantage is extremely obvious.

"If the difficulty of Manchester United's next game is evaluated as 5 stars, then Chelsea only have 1 star. Perhaps, it is not even 1 star." c.x.k commented.

In fact, Chelsea not only have an obvious advantage in the schedule.

The Canadian reporter Chris of the Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo pointed out in his report that with the injuries of Ibrahimovic and other players, Manchester United's lineup is far weaker than Chelsea.

Chelsea's main players are basically in a healthy state.

Not so Manchester United.

Luke Shaw, Ibrahimovic, and Rojo bid farewell to this season long ago. Pogba and Jones were also affected by injuries and suspensions. Veteran players such as Carrick and Rooney were injured and stopped. Didn't even play a few full games.

By the end of the league, half of Manchester United's main lineup had been exempted from the game.

"If it weren't for Chu's consecutive goals, Manchester United might have fallen behind."

"But can one person really win the league for a team? I doubt it."

"Chu plays consecutive games, and sooner or later there will be problems with his physical fitness. Moreover, his game state cannot always be a red arrow. Coupled with the devil's schedule at the last moment, the hell-level opponents, the chances of Manchester United winning the league championship are far away. Not as good as Chelsea, who are one behind them."

...

Carrington.

In Ferguson's office.

Giggs sat opposite Ferguson.

"It seems that people are not optimistic that we can win the championship." Giggs glanced at Ferguson who was sitting opposite him.

Ferguson was silent for a moment.

"To be honest, not only are they not optimistic, but I am also not sure. What they said are all objective facts. There is no exaggeration or fiction."

"For us, if we want to win the championship this season, it may be really too difficult."

Manpower is sometimes poor.

Ferguson sighed, he was a little helpless.

"Actually, regardless of whether we can win the championship or not, our performance this season has been good enough. I think our fans and our management will also be proud of what our team has achieved now." Feel The helplessness of the mentor, Giggs quickly comforted him.

Ferguson smiled.

He shook his head. "From the results, it may be so. But after a season until now, it's finally hoped to win the championship, and it has reversed its competitors and reached the top position. If you can't win the championship in the end, you must be lying if you say you are not disappointed. "

"Should we preserve our strength in the Europa League and focus more on the competition for the league championship? The biggest disadvantage of our competition with Chelsea is that we fight on two fronts." Giggs thought for a while and made a suggestion.

"No!"

Ferguson shook his head decisively.

"The game is often compared to a breath. Whoever gets discouraged first will lose everything. Giving up the European competition seems to be beneficial to the league, but it may not be the case."

"What's more, we have entered the semi-finals. If we go further, it will be the final. We have no reason to give up!" He flatly rejected Giggs' proposal.

Giggs was silent.

"Okay. I will let the team medical team always pay attention to the physical condition of the players, and try to keep every player in the best physical condition possible."

Giggs left in a hurry.

Looking at the back of the assistant leaving, Ferguson pondered for a long time.

He walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the training ground.

On the green training field, the players wore training uniforms, sweating profusely and earnestly training.

They are preparing for the first leg of the Europa League semi-final that will be played tomorrow.

Ferguson's eye was quickly caught by a player on the training ground.

He looks at the player.

If the eyes are still.
