Chapter 199: No champion can be won at will

When the final whistle sounded, the score was frozen at 3-0. Tiger scored seventeen goals in the league this season, and Manchester United beat Preston 3-0.

Preston is still two points behind Southampton, while Manchester United temporarily overtook Arsenal by two points - if Arsenal is behind zero to one and keeps the final game, Manchester United will return to the top position in the group again!

Manchester United's game against Preston did not have any stoppage time, and the news came from another field was that it would take five minutes to stoppage time.

All Manchester United players did not return to the locker room, but were waiting next to the bench for news from another court.

Elland Road Stadium.

"Beautiful! Beautiful goal! Dennis Borgkamp! His volleyball in the penalty area equalized the score for Arsenal! There are three minutes left, and we still have hope!" The Arsenal commentator shouted wildly, while the Arsenal fans coming from afar in the stands gave huge cheers!

The news quickly reached Preston, and the Manchester United players next to the bench calmed down. If Arsenal once again surpassed the score in the remaining minutes, the blow to Manchester United would be quite huge.

The Preston fans in the stands have gradually dispersed, while thousands of Manchester United fans are waiting silently, waiting for the verdict from another court.

The entire court began to become extremely quiet, every minute and every second seemed so difficult. Tiger clenched his fists. This feeling was really bad.

In the previous league games, Manchester United did not perform well overall, and Tiger's condition also fluctuated. After all, he is just an ordinary main player at Manchester United, and he is powerless even if he wants to turn the tide.

"I will take my destiny into my own hands in any future competition! This feeling is really unhappy."

Tiger thought secretly in his heart that when he thought about it, his anxiety in his heart decreased a little bit - the situation has come to this point, and he can only leave it to fate. Besides, even if the league championship is lost, aren’t there still the FA Cup and the Champions League?

He thought with Ah Q's spirit, and at this moment, a voice came from the radio in McLaren's hand: "The game is over! One to one! Arsenal did not create a miracle at the last moment... Manchester United overtakes Arsenal by one point! With the last round left in the league, they began to get infinitely close to the league championship!"

"oh--"

The Manchester United players who were still dead just now cheered, and while seeing this scene, thousands of Manchester United fans in the stands also began to cheer warmly!

Ferguson waved his fist hard: "See it, guys! Now, all we have to do is to kill Tottenham in the last round and don't give Arsenal any chance!"

"Kill them!" Manchester United players shouted. The feeling of escaping from death made them full of great confidence at this moment. This season is destined to be a brilliant season for Manchester United!

"After going back, take a day off and wait for the final battle! Three games, three championships, we will win all!" Ferguson waved his hand and said.

After saying this, he smiled at Tiger: "You can't go home and take a look."

Tiger nodded.

************************************************

"Hey, Paul."

Tiger greeted Barrett cheerfully - he was extremely familiar with Barrett, so he naturally knew that he was used to walking on a certain street after the game, and it had not changed for several years. So after taking a shower, Tiger rushed to the street and blocked Barrett.

Barrett raised his head in surprise: "Tiger? Why? After winning the game, Arsenal tied the game again. Didn't you get on your luxurious bus and rush back to the big city of Manchester? Preston is a little too small."

Tiger touched his nose and knew that Barrett's anger was probably still not gone: "I'm going to stay here for one night today... Let's have a meal together and chat?"

Barrett really wanted to say things like "I'm not worthy of having dinner with the stars at the same table", but when he saw Tiger smiling, he felt a little indescribable. After all, he was a friend for such a long time... Thinking of this, Barrett could only nod in silence.

When Barrett brought Tiger to a restaurant he often went to, the restaurant owner came forward with a smile: "Paul, thank you for your hard work today... Although we lost the ball,..." Then he saw Tiger following Barrett.

"Paul, why are you bringing this guy here?" the boss said dissatisfied.

"Don't say that, uncle, I was also a regular here before." Tiger said with a smile: "Are you happy to see me?"

"Today you are our enemy. Do you still want to eat the dishes in my shop?" The boss said dissatisfied.

"Uncle, even if I win the championship at Manchester United, I can't change the fact that I am a Prestonian... Even if Preston can't get any good honors now, it would be a good result for me, the Prestonian, to win some unforgettable championships." Tiger replied.

The boss stared at him for a long time before he crossed the road and invited the two of them into the hotel.

Tiger's words are good. Preston hasn't produced any stars for a long time, and there are almost no players who have transferred to other teams to receive national honors. Although Bobby Charlton and Bill Shankley have played for this team, they only played for one or two years at Preston at the end of their careers. Tom Finney, the greatest player in club history, was born at the wrong time. At his peak, he encountered two world wars and failed to receive any commendable honors.

"It's really not easy to eat this meal." After ordering the dish, Tiger shook his head and sighed and said to Barrett.

Barrett couldn't help laughing: "I deserve it, who wants you to leave Preston."

"Maybe I will return to Preston after wandering outside for a few years, as long as Preston is more ambitious." Tiger touched his chin and said, "Paul, to be honest, Preston has been away from the top league for too long... Even for the past 100 or 20 years, Preston has been just wandering in the League Two and the League One! We are not even qualified to be a League One team. In this case, how big is the difference between having me and not having me?"

"With you, maybe we can relegate this season, and the club will get a lot more income! You are not sure about the broadcast fee income of Premier League teams, right?" Barrett retorted.

"But what about the expenses? The expenses of Premier League teams cannot be compensated by income, and they also require more investment!" Tiger said bluntly: "Paul, do you think Preston's management is such a generous person?"

Barrett was speechless now because Tiger was talking about the fact that the management of the Preston club is composed of the board of directors, and the directors all own several shares. The current chairman Drake Shaw was just elected to become the chairman of the board. In many aspects, he did not have the power to make decisions. This composition is actually the most inappropriate way for the club, because there will always be many voices, and the directors must contribute together to the joint investment. By the time the decision is made, the daylily will be cold - without a chairman with absolute power and the vast majority of shares, the management of the club will only become more and more delayed.

"Of course, I'm not trying to excuse me for leaving Preston... It's just that I want to find my dream. In Preston, I can't achieve my dream. In this regard, I'm a selfish person, and I've never denied that." Tiger sighed and said, "Paul, you've performed very well this season. If Preston is relegated, would you choose to leave?"

"No, absolutely not!" Barrett shook his head suddenly and said firmly: "This is my hometown, the team in my hometown! Unless the team doesn't want me, I will not leave Preston!"

Tiger nodded: "I'm sure of this...so I admire you, Paul, you can give up other things and protect Preston... I can't do this, maybe I can do it before, but now, I can no longer look back."

Barrett was silent. He didn't know what Tiger said that "can't look back" really means, but a new international player like Tiger who has performed extremely well in the top league and was selected as the English national team. It is impossible for him to go back to join a team of English League One. When he chose to leave Preston at that time, it seemed that he was destined to never have any intersection with Preston again.

"Then let's have this meal... I don't know when the next time I have dinner with you." Barrett said with some melancholy.

******************************************************

With the same melancholy mood, Tiger rushed back to Manchester United after staying at his parents' house for a night. He didn't have much time to feel the autumn. His current goal is to win the last three games with Manchester United - they won all three games. They are the well-deserved triple-champions. If they win a few games, there will be several championships. If they can't win a single game, they will not have a single championship!

At least one game is Tiger's bottom line. Winning three games in a row is Tiger's ambition!

After a day of rest, Tiger regained his vitality on the training ground, which also gave Ferguson more confidence in the last game. Although his opponent Tottenham Hotspur had no motivation to play this game, their strength was not bad at all. Moreover, there were few situations of letting go on the Premier League. For example, in the last game, Leeds was almost impossible to enter the Champions League, and the hatred between them and Manchester United was quite large - not only on the court, but also between Manchester County where Manchester, where Manchester United is located and York County where Leeds is located. In the eyes of others, they could completely let go a little bit and let this glorious mortal enemy be defeated. However, they tried hard to block Arsenal. Although Tottenham Hotspur is absolutely mortal enemy, they will not let go in the last game!

If you want a championship, Manchester United has to rely on their own efforts!

Manchester United are very clear about this.

On May 16, the home match against Tottenham Hotspur, the last round of the league. On May 22, Wembley Stadium vs. Newcastle, the FA Cup final. On May 27, the Camp Nou Stadium vs. Bayern Munich, the Champions League final.

Three games, three opponents, three champions.

May 16, Old Trafford.

"Champion! Champion!"

"Victory! Victory!"

As Manchester United players set foot at Old Trafford, Manchester United fans in the stands shouted these two words - although they have won four league championships in the past six years, this season is so exciting and exciting, but Manchester United fans are looking forward to this league championship so much!

The more difficult the season is, the more valuable the championship the fans will feel!

Win this game and win the fifth championship since the founding of the Premier League! This is the only voice of Manchester United fans and Manchester United players at the moment!

Tiger stepped onto the lawn of Old Trafford, and his heart began to beating vigorously.

Before, Tiger rarely felt excited about any game, but at this moment, he was so excited that he couldn't hold on himself. Not to mention winning the championship to save his life, just the honor of winning the top league championship is one of the ultimate goals for any professional player!

Maybe those superstars who are ruthless in winning the championship will not feel anything, but for Tiger now, he only thinks of one thing - win the league championship with his own performance! Win the first meaningful championship in his career!

He is already twenty-four years old, and at this age he is at the age of achieving success. If he cannot win any decent championships in the next few years, then his career will not be particularly successful!

Come on! No matter Campbell or anyone else, don't try to stop me from winning this game! Don't try to stop my first top league champion!

Amid the cheers of the fans of the court, Ferguson walked out of the player passage and walked towards the home team coach's seat. What greeted him along the way was the huge cheers of Manchester United fans. Although the four major players were missing last season, Manchester United fans never had any opinions about Ferguson. Although he has not won any championship in any competition this season, he still has a great chance to win the championship in three games, which undoubtedly made Manchester United fans ecstatic!

Along the way, Manchester United fans shouted loudly at Ferguson: "Three! Three! All three of us want!"

Ferguson responded with a smile all the way - although the next three opponents were not easy to deal with, but it had reached this point. Ferguson knew that at this time, there was no possibility of taking a step back. Not to mention that even if he lost, he would be the runner-up. It would be remembered that there would only be the champion, not the runner-up!

It was not until after sitting down that the smile on Ferguson's face disappeared, and instead he was just a serious face.

No championship will fall from the sky. In this game, Manchester United wins the championship, and this victory also requires Manchester United to fight for it steadily - even if it is fighting for honor, Tottenham is definitely not a good persimmon!

In this game, Tottenham sent all the main players, goalkeeper Walker, defender Campbell, midfielder Fox and Anderton, forward Les Ferdinand and others all started. Just looking at this main lineup, Ferguson knew that Tottenham had no intention of holding back at all, and the attitude they wanted to express was also very obvious - want a championship? OK, show your skills!

McLaren sat down next to Ferguson, and he seemed a little nervous. After all, his previous coaching career had not yet experienced the stage of winning such a high-end event championship. Like Tiger on the court, he also felt a trembling feeling!

This is an instinctive reaction and an instinctive excitement when facing honor. In this case, when the champion is truly obtained, it is the most enjoyable and sincerely happy time!

"What, are you nervous?" Ferguson asked with a smile when he noticed the assistant's expression.

"How could it be that it's not nervous." Before the game started, McLaren felt a little sweat on his forehead: "This guy from Tottenham, this game is meaningless to them anymore. They have no chance to play in the League Cup, so why are they sending all the main players here..."

"That's just an attitude they want to show." Ferguson laughed: "Besides, even if they try their best, as long as we can play to the highest level, we won't be afraid of them! No championship can be easily won. We used to waste a lot of opportunities in the league, and now we can still win the opportunity to win the championship. That proves that our luck is good enough this season! But if we can't win this game, even if we are lucky, it won't work! This game is a time to test our ability and whether we are qualified to win this championship! If we can't pass this level, Newcastle and Bayern are stronger than Tottenham, then we are even less qualified to compete for the three championships!"

Looking at Ferguson's serious face, McLaren suddenly felt that there were still many things he needed to learn around Ferguson...

At this moment, the referee blew the whistle to start the game, and the Manchester United fans burst into cheers - the game began!

Manchester United's first championship battle for the triple-champion road, starting now!

After taking the ball from York, Tiger passed the ball back to Scholes behind him and rushed into Tottenham's half.

Come on, Tottenham, since I started playing football, I knew that no victory could be obtained casually, especially the championship game!

However, no one can stop me from winning this championship! No one can defeat me! Because you are just fighting for honor, and I am fighting for life!
Chapter completed!
