Just seven minutes into the game, Manchester City made a fierce attack and scored three goals in a row, leaving Burnley unable to resist at all.

After leading by three goals, Manchester City's offensive slowed down, but it still firmly controlled the initiative in the game on the court.

In the 20th minute, Manchester City got an indirect set-piece opportunity in the frontcourt.

Modric made a quick release and launched an offensive from the left. Cristiano Ronaldo hit the left side of the penalty area, but was closely guarded by the opponent's double-team, so he had to pass the ball back.

In two consecutive rounds of games, Manchester City's performance surprised everyone.

Not only the Premier League, but also the entire European football world were shocked.

Especially in the last two rounds of league games, the outstanding performance of the four offensive players in Manchester City's frontcourt has made all opponents frightened. These four superstars not only have outstanding personal abilities, but also have become more and more tacit in cooperation. They simply play with the opponent's defensive players in applause. How can they not make people scared?

On the afternoon of April 10, a third-party neutral court.

In the FA Cup semi-finals, Portsmouth, which has been relegated from the Premier League in advance, welcomed Manchester City.

The head coach of the Pompeii Army was Grant, the former assistant to Mourinho.

Under the lessons of Wigan Athletics and Portsmouth, Grant lined up a six-back lineup in this game, facing the unstoppable Manchester City in the May 41 formation.

Although he is a relegation team, there are many famous players in the team, such as right-back Finnan who won the Champions League for Liverpool that year, famous striker Kanu, and midfielder Kevin Boateng, who performed well this season and has attracted the attention of many teams.

The team is not weak, but due to the team's relegation, the morale is a bit sluggish. Since the beginning of the game, it has been unable to block Manchester City's possession. After 28 minutes of hard work, the goal was declared lost. The first to score for Manchester City was forward Sturridge.

After that, Manchester City continued to take the initiative on the field steadily and won another goal in the 42nd minute. This time the goal was David Silva, who came from Modric's assist.

After the second half of the game, Manchester City scored two goals in a row with Modric and Xavi Alonso in the 69th and 81st minutes respectively, and finally defeated Portsmouth four-one away.

The goal for the Pompeii Army was the striker Canu, who came on the bench.

Compared to Manchester City's away defeat of Portsmouth without any danger, Chelsea's game against Tottenham Hotspur was very difficult. Both sides played zero-to-zero in the 90-minute game and entered the overtime stage.

In the end, Chelsea defeated Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 with two goals from Falcao and Ramirez, and successfully entered the finals.

But after the game, the outside world once again questioned Scolari's use of troops.

Why not arrange for Falcao to play in the game when the team cannot defeat for a long time?

Facts have proved that Chelsea only turned the situation around after Falcao came on the court in a row. In this game, Falcao made an indelible pass and shot.

But this further intensified internal competition at Chelsea and Scolari's coaching pressure.

Especially when meeting with Gao Han Manchester City in the FA Cup final, this undoubtedly made Chelsea's situation worrying.

…………

…………

When Gao Han and Manchester City competed in the FA Cup and the Premier League, the Champions League quarter-finals knockout match also ended two rounds.

Unfortunately, the Premier League was wiped out.

Manchester United met Gao Han's former club Bayern Munich. The competition between the two Champions League runner-up teams last season was also very interesting. As a result, Manchester United returned one-to-two at Allianz Stadium in the first leg.

But after returning to Old Trafford, Manchester United played very smoothly in the first half. Klinsmann's tactics were completely restrained by Ferguson. The Red Devils took the lead with Nani's second goal and scored 3-0. Until the end, Thomas Mueller's goal helped Bayern Munich save hope.

After the side change in the second half, Manchester United defender Raphael received the second yellow card and was sent off with a red card.

At the critical moment, the superstar played a role. Ribery assisted Robben to score a world wave, helping Bayern Munich defeat Manchester United, and successfully entered the semi-finals with the advantage of away goals.

If Manchester United can still compete with Bayern Munich, then Arsenal will be completely at a disadvantage in the face of Barcelona and are unable to resist at all.

In the first leg of the game between the two sides, if it weren't for Puyor's red card, Barcelona might have escaped. But even with the help of the red card, the Gunners only drew Barcelona 2-2 at home, and Ibrahimovic scored twice.

But in the second leg, although Bentner scored first, Messi staged a big four-game, helping Barcelona reverse Arsenal four-to-one, and finally eliminated the Gunners with a total score of 6-3.

The two remaining Premier League giants have all failed to reach the quarterfinals, which has hit the Premier League a lot, and the halo of the world's No. 1 league has also been questioned. All fans and Premier League players have reflected on the league's problems.

Gao Han further mentioned this issue in the Guardian column, believing that the failures of Manchester United and Arsenal were both due to their lack of strength and did not have the ability to challenge the top European teams for the time being. The difference is that Ferguson was able to make up for Manchester United's lack of strength with his outstanding technical and tactical attainments and narrow the gap with Bayern Munich.

Everyone understands what Gao Han means.

In fact, Manchester United was a complete defeat in the first leg, but in the second leg, if Ferguson had not completely suppressed Klinsman in the first half and achieved a complete victory in technical and tactical aspects, Manchester United would not have had any chance of winning at all.

You should know that in these two games, Bayern Munich's ball possession rate exceeded 60%, and the advantage on the field is still very obvious. As for the game between Arsenal and Barcelona, ​​the ball possession disadvantage is even more obvious.

Therefore, Gao Han mentioned in the column that Premier League teams must further move towards a mainland style, improve the team's technical and tactical level, and make up for the strength gap with other European league teams as soon as possible.

Everyone understands Gao Han's meaning. The biggest advantage of the Premier League compared to other leagues is its fiscal revenue, which allows even relegated teams like Portsmouth to attract a group of strong players, such as Kevin Boateng, not to mention mid-level and upstream teams in the Premier League.

Not only in the Premier League, but also in Europe, the reason is very simple. He is Gao Han!

After the semi-finals of the Champions League this season were newly released, Gao Han's reputation was once again raised because three of the four teams were led by Gao Han, including Atletico Madrid coached by Simeone, Bayern Munich led by Klinsmann, Inter Milan coached by Planderly. The last team is also a favorite to win the championship and is also recognized as Barcelona led by Guardiola, a disciple of the tall and poor.

Four teams with the most high-altitude characteristics and inherited the legacy of high-altitude are gathered in the semi-finals. This is regarded by the whole world as a great victory of high-altitude football philosophy. No matter who ends up laughing to the end, it represents Gao Han's victory.

In the end, Barcelona thrilled to defeat Inter Milan in the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Simeone's Atletico Madrid defeated Clinsmann Bayern Munich in the semi-finals. In the end, the two major La Liga powerhouses gathered in the Champions League final and staged a showdown between the poor disciples, Guardiola and Simeone.

When the Champions League semi-finals were in full swing, the last five rounds of the Premier League also ended according to the schedule.

In these five rounds of the league, Manchester City defeated Birmingham 5-1 at home, defeated Manchester United 1-0 at home, defeated Arsenal 2-0 away, defeated Aston Villa 3-1 at home, and defeated West Ham United 4-0 away.

At this point, Manchester City successfully won the Premier League championship in the 2009-2010 season with an amazing record of 38 rounds. Not only that, Manchester City's goals scored a record high in history, and Cristiano Ronaldo also scored 48 goals, becoming the player with the most goals in a single season in the Premier League.

What shocked everyone even more was that Benzema and Sanchez scored more than 20 goals. Although Kaka did not officially return in December, he still won the title of Premier League assists, and his number of goals reached 16, ranking behind young player Sturridge, becoming the fifth largest scorer in the team.

The entire European football world cheered for Manchester City's fantasy performance this season, but everyone is also looking forward to the Champions League next season, wanting to know whether Manchester City can continue the glory of this season and continue the myth of high cold.
