บท 542: The League Tournament Ends

May 24th was the final game of the UEFA Champions League. Before that, there was a final round left in the Premier League. Twain no longer thought about the dreary matter of getting a "Double" with the league and Champions League titles. Manchester United was ahead of them by three points and had only a 0.1% likelihood of losing the league tournament at the last minute.

The final round of the league tournament was held on May 13th. With eleven days to go until the Champions league final, this was good news for Twain as it meant that he did not have to make way for the Champions League final by considering a rotation. He could use the strongest lineup to have a showdown with Liverpool in the final round.

Even though losing to Liverpool would not affect the Forest team's Champions League qualification for the next season, Twain wanted to keep Chelsea down right up to the last minute. He did not want Chelsea to snatch back the second place in the league tournament.
