Chapter 883 The Battle of the Golden Boots (Part 1)
May 13, 2012.
The final round and final match of the 2011/2012 Premier League season.
All ten Premier League games kick off at the same time.
There are three focuses of media attention in this round of final battle.
Two of the three relegation places in the Premier League have been generated, namely Blackburn and Wolves (Blackpool was relegated last season).
Bolton, the third-last and Queens Park Rangers, the fourth-last, will compete for the last relegation spot.
Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea will compete for the UEFA Champions League qualification in the fourth place.
In addition, there is also the competition for the league's Golden Boots. Van Persie scored twice in the last round of the league and scored 30 goals in the league.
Although there is still one game to play, Van Persie, who scored 30 league goals in a single season, has set a series of records.
The Dutchman is the first Arsenal player to score 30 goals in a single season since Henry in the 2003/2004 season.
He has scored 37 goals for Arsenal in various competitions in a single season, which is also his personal best record.
In addition, not counting the last round of the league, Van Persie made 47 appearances in a single season, and he has not played so many games in any previous season.
This Dutch shooter, who had been controversial before, ushered in a complete outbreak this season.
Suarez scored a goal in the match against Tottenham Hotspur, and the current number of goals is 27.
Rooney also scored one goal in the last round of the league, and now he scored 26 goals.
These three players will compete for the league's Golden Boot, but considering that it is already the last round of the league, the media generally optimistic that Van Persie will win the Premier League Golden Boot.
...
Aston Villa was a guest in the final battle against Norwich.
Two days before the game, Suarez invited the whole team to have a big meal.
This was taken by reporters, and the media also joked that Suarez was bleeding a lot, so please help the whole team compete for the league's golden boot AL!"
"Suarez, his tackle broke through the goal guarded by Rudy, and 1-0, Aston Villa got a fantastic start."
"The one who gave Suarez an assist was JR, which was the eighth assist of the Colombian this season. The young Colombian has proved his ability this season when he returned from Bruges on loan."
Suarez did not celebrate the goal, he ran into the goal, pulled the football out and ran back.
In the scorer list, he was three goals behind Van Persie before the game. Considering that Van Persie may score a goal today, if Suarez wants to counterattack and grab the Golden Boot, he must fight against time today.
At the end of the first half, the score on the field was three to zero.
Bale was resting, De Bruyne, who started today, assisted Modric to score a goal.
In addition, before the end of the first half, Modric passed the ball to assist Suarez in a goal, helping the Uruguayan increase the number of goals to 29 goals.
"Did Van Persie score a goal?"
Just after the first half, Suarez found his assistant coach Sebalos and asked about the situation on Arsenal.
"Arsenal and West Bromwich played 2-2." Before Sebas could speak, Fang Jue said seriously.
Suarez felt a chill in his heart.
Then, he saw that the boss was not holding it in his arms, laughed and said, "But, Van Persie was unable to score."
Suarez had no time to complain about the unscrupulous head coach and waved his fist happily.
Van Persie did not score, he scored two goals, and now he is only one goal behind Van Persie.
At Sunderland's Stadium of Light, the first half ended.
Rooney scored a goal just at the beginning of the first half, increasing his personal goals to 27 goals. The score of the first half was also a 1-0 lead in Manchester United, who played away.
Rooney also found assistant coach McFerran to ask about Aston Villa and Arsenal.
When Rooney learned that Van Persie had not scored and the number of goals was still 30, he was delighted.
Then when Lu Xiaopang learned that Suarez scored twice in the first half and scored 29 goals, he felt a slump in his heart.
He began to realize that if he wanted to grab the Golden Boot, his biggest opponent might be Van Persie who is still leading the way, but Suarez, the second place.
Arsenal is going to compete for fourth place in the league. Now for Arsenal, who scores a goal does not matter, what is important is that he must win.
Compared with the importance of fourth place in the league, Van Persie's priority in winning the league's Golden Boot is lower.
Aston Villa is different. Aston Villa won the championship early, the whole team is relaxed, and the whole team can come to help Suarez score a goal. Rooney also heard about Suarez treating the whole team to a big meal. The Uruguayans are full of ambitions.
Van Persie, who was away from West Bromwich, also learned that Suarez scored twice in the first half and Rooney also scored a goal, and he was a little anxious.
At least one goal must be scored in the second half, otherwise the Golden Boot will not be guaranteed.
...
Ten minutes into the second half, Aston Villa scored another goal!"
"Suarez! Suarez! Hat trick! He received a pass from Modric again and scored the ball, four to zero, Aston Villa led Norwich four goals."
"Scored this goal, Suarez's goal number reached 30 goals. Arsenal is still 2-2, and Van Persie has not yet... Goals, Arsenal has scored, Wenger's team overturned the score to 3-2. However, it was not Van Persie who scored, but Coscheerney, so Suarez and Van Persie are still tied for 30 goals!"
A few minutes later, De Bruyne was injured in a fight. Although the problem was not big, the Belgian young player wanted to continue to play. However, Fang Jue replaced De Bruyne for safety and Abanglaho came on as a substitute.
After the 76th minute of the game, Suarez headed the ball in front of the goal and was saved by Norwich goalkeeper Rudy. Abanglaho at the back point easily made a quick shot and scored an empty goal.
Five to zero.
Abanglaho, who scored the goal, waved his hand at Suarez with a little embarrassed.
Although Suarez was very sorry, he could only say that he didn't mind. He wanted to grab the Golden Boot, but he couldn't let his teammates score goals, and this was not blamed on Abanglaho.
As the game time passed, neither Van Persie, Suarez or Rooney were able to score again.
Fang Jue also made a substitution again, and he replaced Ha Mei with Bentner.
Aston Villa plays three centers.
Fang Jue's idea was to use Abonraho and Bentener to share the attention for Suarez and help the Uruguayan score a goal.
Chapter completed!
