In the early hours of March 21, a focus battle in the 30th round of the Premier League was played between Tottenham and West Ham United, both of which are strong contenders for the top four of the Premier League this season, so it is a six-point battle without compromise. In the end, Spurs won 3-1 with Zuma's oolong ball and Son Heung-min's meikai, won 4 of the last 5 rounds of matches, stepped on the body of the Hammers to overtake Manchester United, came to the 5th position in the table, only 3 points behind the sworn enemy Arsenal in one more game, still retaining the hope of fighting for the fourth place.
In the last round, Tottenham Hotspur scored 2-0 lightly over Brighton, with Romero and Kane scoring one goal each. Conte, who was very happy with the players' performance, did not make any adjustments to the starting lineup this game, and their start was also very smooth. In the 9th minute, Kane crossed from the right, Zuma accidentally swung himself while staring at Son Heung-min, and Tottenham Hotspur took a 1-0 lead to usher in a dream start. In the 24th minute, Kane sent an oblique pass, Son Heung-min received the ball inside the penalty area and fired a powerful shot, the ball hit the unfortunate Zuma and deflected into the top right corner of the goal.
Although West Ham United pulled back a goal in the 35th minute, kane and Son Heung-min completed the connection in the 88th minute of the second half, the former headed the cross, Son Heung-min single-handedly burst into the box and easily pushed the goal to completely kill the game.
In this campaign, Tottenham's advantage on the field is still very obvious, they scored 3 goals on 6 of 17 shots, while West Ham United only shot 6 shots and 1 positive in the whole game, and the loss was expected. After the game, the well-placed Conte praised Son Heung-min and the British star Kane, who assisted and created the opponent Oolong, believing that they were doing very well and saying that the only way to put pressure on Arsenal was to keep winning.
However, the last to see Tottenham win the game is the red devils Manchester United, except for their sworn enemies Arsenal, because they have now slipped to 6th in the table. In addition, Tottenham's opponents in the last 8 rounds, only Liverpool are strong, Newcastle, Aston Villa, Brighton, Brentford, Leicester City, Burnley and Norwich are all low-ranking or even in the relegation zone, although there is still a game against Arsenal, but such a schedule can also be described as quite easy.
And Manchester United will have to play with strong teams such as Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea after that, in addition to veteran Cristiano Ronaldo, who will also represent Portugal in the European Preliminary Play-offs on this international matchday, which will definitely consume a lot of physical strength, which will also make Ronnick more unusable in his hands, they are getting farther and farther away from the top four of the Premier League this season.
Of course, more miserable than Manchester United is the Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, this Time in the European Preliminary Play-offs, his Portugal will first face the powerful Turkish team, and then compete with the winners of Italy and North Macedonia for a qualifying place, which will be even more unpredictable. If the World Cup is as desired, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to Ronaldo.
And then, he may also have to represent Manchester United to play next season's Europa League. Ronaldo's last appearance in the Europa League dates back to the 2002/2003 season, when he represented Sporting Portugal in the first round of the Europa League's predecessor League Cup against Red Star Belgrade in two final penalties, and Cristiano Ronaldo delivered an assist over two legs. Now, 20 years later, he may have to relive the memories of when he was 17 years old.
