Football: Selling Stars Every Year, Winning the Championship Every Year!

Good news, veteran fan Li Shiguang has been reborn and reincarnated as a rich second-generation.

Bad news, his father, who was Leeds United's largest shareholder, passed away right before...

Chapter 499 A war of words between the coach and the fans!

in addition.

The FA's schedule also makes this match highly anticipated.

If both teams can win the first two rounds of matches.

This would greatly increase the excitement of the match, as it would be a dream come true for two teams vying for the Premier League title to face off in the final round.

Moreover, less than two weeks after this Premier League title battle, the two teams will travel to Moscow's Luzhniki Stadium to compete for the Champions League trophy.

This schedule is sure to get the adrenaline pumping for fans of both teams.

Before the start of the new round of Premier League matches, the internet was filled with heated exchanges and debates between Leeds United and Manchester United fans!

····

Saturday.

The 36th round of the Premier League is about to begin.

Of the two teams, Manchester United will play first, traveling to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea, who have just been knocked out of the Champions League semi-finals by Leeds United.

It's obvious.

Chelsea were somewhat affected by the Champions League semi-final, and their performance at the start of the game was not very good. Near the end of the first half, Manchester United seized the opportunity, and Cristiano Ronaldo, who has been involved in recent transfer rumors, scored a goal.

The two sides switched sides for the second half.

Manchester United continued their offensive pressure, scoring two goals in the 55th and 73rd minutes.

They ultimately defeated Chelsea by three goals away from home.

After this match.

Chelsea were overtaken by Liverpool, who defeated Birmingham, and dropped to fifth place in the standings.

One day later.

Leeds United will return to their home ground to face Reading.

Li Shiguang's judgment was correct.

Desperate to avoid relegation, Reading played aggressively from the start, posing a significant threat to Leeds United's defense at one point.

However, the difference in strength is undeniable.

After regaining their composure, Modric scored his second free kick, giving Leeds United a two-goal lead by halftime.

Reading didn't make much of a splash in the second half either.

Leeds United held onto their two-goal lead until the end, securing the three points.

One week later.

In the 37th round of the Premier League in early May, Leeds United and Manchester United maintained their consistency. Leeds United won 1-0 away against Aston Villa, while Manchester United won 4-1 at home against West Ham United.

Both teams secured three points in this round.

This means...

The final winner of the 2007-2008 Premier League season will be decided by the result of the Leeds United vs. Manchester United match on May 11th.

If Leeds United win at home or draw with Manchester United, they will successfully defend their Premier League title.

Conversely, if Manchester United wins.

Then they will lift the Premier League trophy at Elland Road this season!

With a week to go before the big battle, the war of words has already spread from the fans of both sides to the people involved.

Ferguson fired the first shot.

After speaking with Li Shiguang on the phone, Ferguson immediately went to Ronaldo's house and had a long talk with his protégé for an afternoon. But in the end, apart from hearing Ronaldo say that these things would not affect the subsequent games, Ferguson did not get any promises from the Portuguese.

Cristiano Ronaldo's attitude displeased Ferguson, which in turn heightened his displeasure with Li Shiguang.

If Li Shiguang hadn't denied the rumors of Leeds United pursuing Ronaldo in his post-match interview with Chelsea, Sir Alex Ferguson would have directly criticized Li Shiguang for unfair competition during his media interview!

However, Ferguson's words remained strong in the interview: "I don't know where the rumor came from that Leeds United were pursuing Cristiano. If Lee hadn't denied it at the press conference, I probably would have given him a hard time... Fortunately, Cristiano hasn't been affected by this, and his performance in recent games has been remarkable! Although we are playing away next week, I have full confidence that Manchester United can defeat Leeds United at Elland Road and lift the trophy!"

Ferguson made a statement in the media that he was determined to win, and even brought himself into the conversation.

Li Shiguang naturally wouldn't hold back either, as he stated in an interview.

"Manchester United cannot win at Elland Road. Last year, Leeds United overtook Manchester United in the final moments to win the league title. This year, Leeds United will not drag the game to the last minute. Leeds United will crush Manchester United head-on at home, secure the league title, and make a good start for the FA Cup final and the Champions League final!"

The two head coaches engaged in a war of words through the media, neither willing to back down.

The players from those two teams were naturally not going to fall behind.

Manchester United captain Gary Neville, who has rarely played this season due to injuries, said in an interview: "We lost to our opponents at Old Trafford in the first half of the season, which left everyone in the team feeling frustrated. So this time when we go to their home ground, we will definitely get our revenge and take another title from Elland Road!"

Regarding Gary Neville's remarks.

Leeds United captain Vincent Kompany also spoke up in an interview: "...He really said that? Then I have to remind him that they also lost at Old Trafford last season and only managed a draw at Elland Road. If they're holding a grudge, please remind Gary to be careful not to suffer internal injuries from holding it in."

The head coaches and players of both teams then went off the field to argue.

On the internet.

The battles between fans are becoming increasingly fierce. New discussions about the game can be seen on Twitter every day. These seemingly normal discussions eventually turn into flame wars as fans from both sides flood in.

Manchester United are champions! Elland Road, get ready to be painted red!

[Screw you! Manchester United haven't beaten us in two years, what makes you think you can win the title?! Just by talking tough?!]

"Then what makes you think you can win the treble?! Just because of that Asian guy?! English clubs being saved by Chinese people? That's the funniest joke I've ever heard!"

[Hilarious! It's like the Glazer family are British! Lee may have Asian ancestry, but he's a native-born Englishman, much better than you bunch of people living off American money!]

In this noisy and chaotic atmosphere.

Time flies.

May 11th afternoon.

The most important match of the 2007-2008 English Premier League season.

Leeds United host Manchester United.

The tournament is about to begin at Elland Road Stadium, which has long been painted pure white...
