At 0: 30am on May 21st, Beijing time, the 37th round of the Premier League in 2022-23 ushered in a focus war: theoretically, Arsenal, who still has the hope of winning the championship, fought against Nottingham Forest, a newly promoted horse.

In the Premier League standings before the game, Arsenal ranked second with 81 points in 36 games and 4 points behind Manchester City in one round. If the last two rounds win, Arsenal will eventually accumulate 87 points, and Manchester City will win the championship as long as it gets 3 points or even 2 points in the remaining three rounds. After all, the goal difference is much more than Arsenal. If Manchester City only gets 1 point or 3 consecutive defeats, then Arsenal will win the championship, but this possibility is too small.

Will Arsenal fight for theoretical hope? If you don’t fight, it will be for nothing to send Manchester City to win the championship trophy in advance.

As a matter of fact, it is normal for Arsenal, the second place in the Premier League standings, to beat Nottingham Forest, which has been fighting for relegation for a long time.

Nottingham Forest scored 34 points in 36 matches, ranking 16th in the Premier League standings, 3 points ahead of Leeds United in the relegation zone and 1 point more than the 17th Everton (37 matches), and has not been relegated successfully.

Let’s take a look at the starting lineup of both sides in this game.

Arsenal started in the 4-3-3 formation, with Jesus, Trossat and Saka forming a trident, with Zaka, jorginho and Odegard as midfielders, viol, Gabriel, Ben Wright and Thomas as four defenders and Ramsdale as goalkeeper. The total value of the first eleven people is 550 million euros.

Basically, it is all the main attack. From the starting lineup, Arsenal have no intention of "releasing water", but they still have to fight.

Nottingham Forest starts the 3421 formation, with center Awoniyi, two sides Danilo and White, midfielders Lodi, ohrel, Yates and hollier, three central defenders Nyahart, Felipe and voller, and goalkeeper navas. The total value of the first eleven people is 160 million euros.

After the game started, Arsenal took the lead in launching the offensive. The 11th minute, Trossat DeZhiSai, Jesus shot, navas attacked and blocked the ball. In the 17th minute, from Arsenal’s right corner, Saka drove to the restricted area and Jesus headed the ball to the top.

In the 20th minute, Odegard made a mistake in returning, and was countered by Nottingham Forest. Ramsdale attacked and Gabriel chased after him, but he still failed to destroy the attack. Awoniyi hit the door and succeeded. Arsenal are 0-1 behind.

Behind the score, Arsenal continued to strengthen their attack, but it didn’t work. In the 30th minute, Jesus shot high. The 61st minute, Ben Wright assists to the frontcourt, Saka hits the door and is saved by the goalkeeper.

In the end, Arsenal lost 0-1, and still scored 81 points in 37 games, sending Manchester City to lock the Premier League title three rounds ahead of schedule. Guardiola’s team can fully prepare for the Champions League final and the FA Cup final.

On May 21st, Beijing time, Arsenal lost away to Nottingham Forest, and Manchester City won the league championship three games ahead of schedule. At this point, Blue Moon has won the Premier League three times in a row. In the past six seasons, Manchester City won five Premier League titles, creating the Blue Moon Dynasty in the English arena. In addition, Manchester City won the 9th top English league title in team history and the 7th Premier League title in team history.

After winning the championship, Manchester City Club officially exposed the family photo of winning the championship and shared the joy with the fans.

He also made a number of post-match celebration videos and deeply expressed Guardiola, "Yes, you can always trust this man!"

Manchester City people also updated social media to celebrate the championship moment.

Gundogan: Champion! ! ! ! It’s incredible to win the Premier League championship for three consecutive cities and five times in six years. I’m proud to be the captain of this world-class team!

De Braune: Champion!

Walker: Premier League champion!

Rubendias: Well done, brothers!

Ak: Champion! I am proud that everyone involved has made amazing achievements!

Mahrez: There is a trophy won through hard work! Congratulations to everyone who fought for it.

The CBA playoffs are still in progress. The four teams that entered the semi-finals have confirmed three seats, namely Zhejiang, Liaoning and Shenzhen. Among them, Zhejiang beat Guangzhou 2-0, Liaoning beat Beijing 2-0, and Shenzhen won by lying down. Because Shanghai was deprived of its ranking and competition qualification, Shenzhen became the first team to advance to the semi-finals. Now, there is only one last place to be decided, that is, the group of Guangdong team and Guangsha team, with a big score of 1-1 draw. The final game will decide who can advance and then play against Liaoning team.

By the time of the semi-final, the opponent of Zhejiang team is Shenzhen team. Although both teams are strong teams, it seems that there are not many things to watch, and it gives people the feeling that there is little suspense. In terms of popularity of the two teams, although Zhejiang is the top team, it is not as good as Shenzhen, which ranks fourth. The basketball atmosphere in Zhejiang is not as good as that in Guangdong, and the fan base is less. Moreover, Zhejiang team and Guangsha team have long been competing in the same city. In Hangzhou, more fans regard Guangsha as the home team, but the real Zhejiang team is still slightly inferior. Therefore, this group of matchups will not attract particularly high attention, and there is not much topic heat between the two teams.

The other group is between Liaoning team and Guangdong team/Guangsha team, which is more interesting. If the opponent of Liaoning team is Guangdong team, the heat will be full directly, because the two teams have the largest fan base in CBA, far exceeding other teams, which can be seen from the annual All-Star voting. Moreover, Liaoning and Guangdong, as the traditional strong teams of CBA, have attracted much attention in every previous duel, and fans will also argue with each other to cheer for their respective home teams.

If Guangsha team reached the semi-finals, it would be a continuation of the frontier. Last year’s finals were between Liaoning team and Guangsha team. Although Guangsha team, which was short of major generals, lost, the fighting spirit of fighting for the last bullet moved all the fans. This season, Hu Jinqiu returned, although the luck was unlucky, Cummings, a small foreign aid, was injured again, and Zhu Junlong also played in doubt. However, the strength of the team is obviously higher than that of last year’s finals, and the team will definitely give everything and aim at revenge. The goal of the Liaoning team is to protect its glory and strive to defend its title. From the match between the two teams this season, we can know how intense the game is. It is completely hand-to-hand combat. No matter whether you win or lose, you will lose your skin.

As for the final list of the semi-finals, we still need to wait until the end of the game tomorrow night. However, judging from the strength of the team and the situation at home and away, Guangdong team is more likely to advance, and it is not difficult for Guangsha team to win the game. Let’s wait and see.

On April 23rd, Beijing time, the men’s singles final of WTT Macau Championship will be held among table tennis players. Veteran Malone defeated lebrun in the semi-final to help Fan Zhendong complete revenge, while Wang Chuqin swept Zhang Benzhi and reached the final 4-0 in the semi-final. This semi-final was somewhat unexpected. Wang Chuqin once again beat Zhang Benzhi and perhaps thought of the result of defeating his opponent, but it was really unexpected that Wang Chuqin swept his opponent with a score of 4-0, because Wang Chuqin had previously focused on doubles.

In the past year, Wang Chuqin began to exert his strength in singles, so Wang Chuqin began to soar in the world rankings, and now he has risen to the second place in the world. Wang Chuqin gradually showed his talent and ability in men’s singles. With Sean Xiao becoming the head coach of Wang Chuqin, Wang Chuqin’s strength in fighting tough battles became stronger, and he showed a more stable state and mentality on the court, thus ensuring that he swept Zhang Benzhihe and did not leave any chance for his opponents to fight back.

The biggest competitor of the national table tennis men’s team in the new Olympic cycle is Zhang Benzhihe. We need to find a second singles player who can hold Zhang Benzhihe outside Fan Zhendong. Facts have proved that Liang Jingkun and Lin Gaoyuan do not have this ability and stability, so Wang Chuqin has become the key training target, and Wang Chuqin is also a post-00 generation. If Wang Chuqin can shoulder the heavy burden, there is no need to worry about Zhang Benzhihe creating too much threat to national table tennis in the next five years. Therefore,

Compared with Lin Gaoyuan and Liang Jingkun, why can Wang Chuqin resist the pressure and sweep his opponent 4-0 in this battle with Zhang Benzhi? After all, even Fan Zhendong, the first brother of Guoping, can’t beat Zhang Benzhihe 4-0. Why does Wang Chuqin have such strength? In fact, Deng Yaping praised Wang Chuqin’s character and technical characteristics before, saying:Wang Chuqin’s gas field is excellent, he has a good temperament in the game, dares to show his sword, is not soft in hard battles, and has a firm belief in the game.

Therefore, seeing Deng Yaping’s praise and comments on Wang Chuqin implies that Wang Chuqin has the strength and potential to help the China table tennis team win more honors in the future. With the sweeping of Zhang Benzhihe, the Japanese table tennis brother is completely desperate, not only in the next Durban World Table Tennis Championships, but also in the Paris Olympic Games.

Because Wang Chuqin became more and more competitive in singles after continuous high-intensity training in Sean Xiao, Zhang Benzhi and Wang Chuqin completely opened the gap, Wang Chuqin and Fan Zhendong could form the men’s singles double insurance in the new cycle of national table tennis, and Zhang Benzhi’s dream of hitting the men’s singles champion in the Olympic Games and the World Table Tennis Championships was completely shattered.

The series G3 between the Lakers and the Grizzlies ended, and the Lakers withstood the crazy impact of the last quarter of the Grizzlies and won. In this campaign, Morant of Grizzlies came back with 45 points, 9 rebounds and 13 assists, and at the last moment, he was injured again. James scored 25 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists, with his hands buttoned and his back buckled. The 38-year-old James still played like a peak. At the same time, James was attacked by his old enemy Dillon Brooks in the second half. Fortunately, the problem was not serious, and the latter was expelled by a direct second-class malicious foul.

After the game, Tommy Tam, as one of the parties, refused to be interviewed. He was asked by a reporter and replied:"I won’t talk to you."

Grizzlies coach Jenkins said:"The referee made a penalty."

Tommy Tam didn’t give an interview. After the game, James talked about his opponent’s expulsion and his attack on the crotch, and then made a golden sentence, throwing out the jewel in the crown, saying:"Just try to stand up, protect the jewel in my crown and move on to the next round."

James’ remarks also sparked heated discussion. Obviously, Tommy Tam hit the sensitive part of James’ crotch, and after the game, James compared it to "the jewel in the crown", which was really interesting. There are also many fans poking fun at James, who can smash anywhere, but not "the jewel in the crown".

In this case, Tommy Tam’s behavior is really dirty, which is different from Harden’s unconscious hitting his opponent and being expelled. This time, Tommy Tam’s action was too big when defending, which directly made James fall to the ground in pain. After he got up, he was sweating, and the action was really big. In addition, Tommy Tam was the player that Lakers fans didn’t like the most, so after Tommy Tam was expelled, Lakers fans cheered one after another.

Tommy Tam is also a famous villain in NBA. He has been expelled six times in his career, including twice in the playoffs. He is the first player in the history of Grizzlies to be expelled many times in the playoffs. He makes a lot of small moves in defense and likes to provoke opponents, which is really not liked by more people.

I grew up in a place called Brough, just outside Hull, where I have many good memories.

Although I don’t remember exactly how old I was when I first played football, I do remember that I started playing football with my best friend, in the park or at his house.

His father’s name was Conleth Campbell, who was the coach of a newly established men’s football team. He must have seen my good points because he asked me if I could come down and train with them.

This team is called Elloughton Blackburn Swifts. Although it is a child under 7 years old, I was about 5 or 6 years old when I went there. Conleth was very kind to me. He made me fall in love with football, even though I was a girl and played for a boy’s team. He always plays football with me. Just tell me to have fun there.

I went to their first training and I enjoyed it very much. This is all I want to do-just play football with the children, but when you reach a certain age, you can’t play football with the children anymore, which is a bit difficult for me.

This is all I know. I just don’t want to leave my boys’ team and join the women’s football team, because there is no real team in the local area. An unprecedented situation, so I don’t know what it will be like.

But I remember my father, who always supported me, saying, just try training once and see if I like it. If I don’t like it, it doesn’t matter. We will find other ways.

I still hesitated, and then he said, if I go, I can get a new football training suit. I thought,’ Oh, my own training suit? Okay, okay, then I’ll go!

He actually persuaded me through this, because I used to like to wear my team uniform at that time.

He persuaded me, which is a good thing, because I went and had the first training with them, and I liked it very much.

When I was about 10 or 11 years old, I decided to join a women’s team, which is the youth training center of Hull College. I stayed there for about two years, and then transferred to the North Yorkshire Youth Training Center. At that time, different women’s football systems were being improved, and that center later became York RTC.

At that time, I began to learn more about the position of the game and more tactics. We don’t have a fixed position, but that’s where I started to learn the position and the different requirements when you control the ball and don’t control it.

I remember they paid great attention to teaching these things before letting us play in the game, but I just want to play football, and then I will ask why I want to learn these things. Looking back now, I’m glad I learned that knowledge, because you really needed it when you grew up.

I first heard that Manchester City was interested in me when I was 14 years old. At that time, I was still playing football with my friends and had a good time, so I didn’t believe it at first.

I enjoyed my football very much. I was in the English youth team and just focused on what I was doing. But a year or so later, just before I turned 16, they wanted me to take the next step and make more progress. Everything is arranged, let me go there to play for Manchester City’s youth team. I could have stayed at RTC for another year, but when I knew I was going to join the development alliance, I knew I had to do it. This is a very competitive league and a big leap, but it is really the best decision. In the first half of the season, I will go to Manchester for training after school, either by train or with my father.

When that season ended, they wanted me to train with the first team at the beginning of next season, so I had to leave my hometown and come to Manchester at that time. I have to go to college and live in a host family so that I can train with them all day. I will train in the morning, go to school in the afternoon, or study during training.

This is something that someone told me when I was still in the youth training (joining Manchester City). I knew it might happen, but when it happened, I was very excited and couldn’t wait to start working. Leaving home at such a young age is a big event, which is crazy in retrospect, because it is a big event and you have to bear independent responsibilities.

I still chat with the boys when I started playing football, and my best friend’s father. We still chat from time to time, and I always receive information from the coaches when I was growing up.

That’s good. Keep in touch with them and let them know my recent situation. In any case, I will not change my initial intention and expectation for the future.
