There is a historical wonder this season - it s only one place ahead of the relegation zone, and the goal difference is not a negative number

Everyone may have a stereotype that no matter which league, the goal difference of all teams ranked last will definitely be negative, and the amount is not small. Actually, this is a stereotype, a bit harsh. Just think about it and you will know that you have played for a season, with fewer wins and more losses, and you are not strong enough to lose big scores. How can you make the goal difference become a positive number?

In fact, each league generally has a red line. This line does not involve European qualifications or relegation. Instead, the teams above this line have a positive goal difference, while the teams below are all negative. Of course, the specific situation is not so neat and clear. Occasionally, there are teams with a few below the red line, and the goal difference is positive, but overall it is the case. Where is the line drawn? Different leagues will have different ecological appearances, and even different seasons, the specific situation will be different. But overall, it is floating around ten. In other words, the goal difference between the seventh and eighth teams is likely to be positive, while the goal difference between the twelve and threeth teams is difficult to make the goal difference above 0. Is there any exception to

? Of course there is. This season, Freiburg of the Bundesliga is currently ranked fourth and is about to enter the Champions League. But their goal difference was negative. In fact, the reason is not difficult to understand. Although they win more than lose less, they win, and lose more than loser. You win 5 games 1:0, and then lose 0:5. From the point of view, 5 wins and 1 loss is excellent; but from the point of view of goal difference, 6 games are in vain, and a crushing defeat can instantly clear your 5 small wins.

But I think this is nothing, the real weird one is another team. This season, there is a possibility of a historic wonder in the Big Five Leagues - there is a team that is only one higher than the relegation zone, but their goal difference is still positive so far.

It is also because of this that it is hard to say that Tottenham is a weak team.

Yes, it's Tottenham. They are currently ranked 17th in the Premier League. There are three relegation places in the Premier League, so Tottenham is equivalent to being the team closest to the cliff. Of course, they can't talk about a difficult relegation, because they have much more points than 18th place. In other words, the relegation zone of the Premier League this season is very stable, and the other 17 teams have basically not been under pressure from this.

Currently, Tottenham has 11 wins, 5 draws and 20 losses, which is a typical record of a bottom team. But they actually have 4 goals, which is really awesome. Tottenham is the opposite of Freiburg. They win less and lose more, but winning is mostly big wins, while losing is mostly small losses. Of course, Tottenham has lost a big score, for example, they lost to Liverpool 3:6. But they are also the ones who beat Manchester City 4-0. It is because Tottenham won a lot of games in big scores that they maintained a positive trend in goal difference.

In fact, Tottenham has basically focused on the Europa League in the second half, and they are already in a half-giving state in the Premier League. But even so, they can still maintain their big6 dignity at the level of goal difference. Comparing Manchester United, who ranked ahead of them, had one more point, but the goal difference was 11. Without talking about the background, just looking at this data, I think Tottenham is worthy of a strong team's character than Manchester United.

However, this wonder is only possible, not necessarily. After all, Tottenham has two games left, and with their current emphasis on the Europa League final and their disregard for the Premier League, they have a certain probability of losing two consecutive games in the next two leagues. And once there is a big score, the possibility that the goal difference will suddenly become a negative number is not ruled out. Moreover, one of their opponents is Aston Villa, who is now in the stage of rushing to the Champions League and will not be polite to them, points and goal difference will be required.

Next, let's see what happens.
