Manchester City did not express any opinions or responses to the article in North London Horn.

After all, it was a very small newspaper, with its influence limited to North London. At first, they gained some attention by fighting against glory, but soon they gradually faded out of the public's vision and returned to their original state.

So now that North London Horn is so persistent in competing with Manchester City, not many people can see it.

Even Arsenal fans in North London feel a little tired of being a little tired - you had the courage to stand up for us Arsenal, but now you have been so long and still keeping on this matter, which is too boring... What we want to watch is news related to Arsenal, who would like to see Manchester City swaying in front of you all day long? Do you think this name is not annoying enough?

In the FA Cup match against Stoke City, Manchester City adopted a starting lineup that was exactly the same as in the last game against Bolton.

Stoke City's tactics this time are no different from the last time the two sides fought, and they are still full of aggressiveness.

The players played very tenaciously.

But Manchester City, who played as a substitute, did not fall into a tough battle this time.

Manchester City, who played at home, launched a very fierce offensive against Stoke City's goal amid the cheers of tens of thousands of fans. This offensive was completely untouched by Stoke City when he played against Manchester City at home.

Moreover, because it was Manchester City's home game, the referee also called the fouls against Manchester City players more severe than before, which added some trouble to Stoke City's tactics.

In the end, Manchester City defeated Stoke City with a net-clear B0 at his home court, without giving Stoke City a chance.

Rongguang scored a goal and assisted a goal in the game, which was the biggest contributor to Manchester City's victory, but in an interview with reporters after the game, he repeatedly emphasized that his teammates performed very well. Football is a collective sport. If he did not have such excellent performance from his teammates, no matter how good he performed, it would be unlikely to win this game.

The reporters all knew Rongguang was humble, but when they heard Rongguang say this, they still wanted to roll their eyes.

For others, football may really be a collective exercise, but for you, it is really hard to say whether football is a collective exercise...

What do you say if your teammates perform poorly and you can't win the ball, what do you say about Stoke City's league?

However, the reporters misunderstood. Rongguang said this not because of modesty, he is not very modest.

He said this in order to convey a message to his teammates-I cannot live without you, so everyone should work hard

Regarding the unbeaten in the league, he has never talked about this issue with his teammates, just hoping not to add pressure to his teammates, so as not to think it is a task they must complete - for Rongguang himself, this is a task that must be completed, but Rongguang believes that his teammates have no obligation to bear this pressure with him.

So he chose to remain silent and chose to take on both responsibility and pressure.

If your teammates perform well, they will naturally be good.

If you perform poorly, help them win and let them win. Solve problems for them and relieve stress.

But he would not tell everyone directly about this matter with his teammates, but would only tell everyone in a tactful way.

No matter how good he performs, he still needs his teammates.

He doesn't want to be a lone hero, and he also knows that being a lone hero will not achieve his goal.

Football is really a collective sport.

In the 27th round, Manchester City's last league round before the first leg of the Champions League One Eighth Final.

Manchester City faces Liverpool at home.

This is not a good opponent, especially Liverpool now.

The league has been held for twenty-six rounds, and Liverpool ranked sixth. At the beginning of the season, Liverpool ranked worse. Now they are catching up, so they naturally want to make their league rankings higher.

Now they have accumulated forty-four points, only one point away from Aston Villa, who is fourth in the league.

So their desire for victory is very urgent.

In this game, Benitez considered that the next UEFA Champions League quarterfinals against Lyon and the away game, he adjusted the lineup against Liverpool.

Instead of following the lineup from the previous two games, he replaced some main players again.

After all, the next game is against Lyon, and these main players didn't play much in the first two games. They must be asked to find the state of the game. Otherwise, if they play against Lyon directly, they will probably suffer a loss.

Benitez didn't dare to be careless at all in the Champions League, and he knew very well that this was completely different from the Premier League.

In the final game with Liverpool, Manchester City shook hands with them 00 at home.

Liverpool really wants to win the game, but Manchester City's counterattacks continue to threaten them, leaving them unable to attack with all their might.

Although Manchester City's counterattack was sharp, they were almost lucky in this game. Rongguang shot and headed the ball in the game, but they were both blocked by the goal post.

It is certainly a pity that I didn't win this game, but this did not affect the mood of Manchester City players, and it did not even make Manchester City fans care too much.

After all, next is the Champions League quarterfinal against Lyon.

Manchester City fans have been waiting for the Champions League knockout round for a long time.

Manchester City's performance in the Champions League group stage has improved the confidence of Manchester City fans and also made them look forward to the next knockout stage. I want to see how the team can perform in the Champions League knockout stage.

Didn’t there always be an argument before?

The group stage and knockout stage of the Champions League are completely different events. Being able to perform well in the Champions League group stage does not mean that you can perform well in the Champions League knockout stage.

After all, the opponent and himself have completely different mentality in the group stage and knockout stage.

In the group stage, those powerful teams may not try their best. After all, the group stage is composed of six games. If there are any mistakes in this game, they can be compensated by several other games.

But the knockout stage is not possible. Two games determine the outcome. If you don’t play well in one game, it may directly affect the final result.

Therefore, some teams may not perform well in the Champions League group stage, but after the knockout stage, they perform better and better, becoming very difficult to deal with.

So the knockout stage is the real test for Manchester City, which makes sense.

If Manchester City wants to be the dark horse in the Champions League this season, they have to test their quality in the knockout stage.

After the game against Liverpool, Liverpool fans were still upset that they did not win Manchester City away, but Manchester City's attention was no longer on this.

The Manchester Evening News began to report on Lyon, Manchester City's opponent in the Champions League knockout round.

Starting from his history, they talked about their seven consecutive championships in Ligue 1, and their wonderful performance in the Champions League.

"...After the draw results of the quarterfinals of 16 came out, I knew some Manchester City fans thought they had a good draw, but I must remind them that Lyon is not a soft persimmon that can be pinched casually. In the Champions League, Lyon has much more experience than Manchester City, and they are not at a disadvantage against Real Madrid. If Manchester City can beat Real Madrid twice, then at least Lyon is suitable for their team of one level..."

"For Benitez's team, as a whole, this team lacks experience in participating in the Champions League, which is a big trouble, especially in the knockout stage. As the game deepens, it requires even more experience..."

However, the Manchester Evening News also talked about Manchester City's advantages.

"...This is a team that is in the rising period. They have a great desire for the Champions League. This motivation will help them overcome some experience. And although they lack experience overall, Manchester City's players do not lack experience in Champions League. Moreover, they have one of the biggest advantages, that is... Rong Yes, Rong is Manchester City's biggest advantage. I believe many people think so. How long can Manchester City go in the Champions League this season? The most important decisive factor is Rong's personal performance..."

After this article, the newspaper put a photo of Rong Guang winning the Champions League trophy, but the difference is that the Manchester Evening News made a little E. Originally Rong Guang wore a Bayern Munich jersey, after all, he won the Champions League championship when he played for Bayern Munich.

But the Manchester Evening News put Manchester City's jersey on Rong Guang and replaced Bayern Munich's jersey.

This will definitely make Manchester City fans feel very happy, but it makes many Chinese fans feel that the Manchester Evening News really doesn't understand what it means to "storage people's character"

Before the game, they directly E-picture Manchester City won the championship. Are they not afraid of inheriting Real Madrid's title of "Champions League Sixteen"?

In China, everyone is also very concerned about this game. After all, it is Rongguang's return to the Champions League knockout stage after two seasons - the 20726B season. Although he also participated in the Champions League, he only played in the group stage due to serious injury.

So if you only watch the Champions League knockout round, Rongguang has indeed not played in two seasons.

How European media viewed this game, Chinese media all truthfully retweeted it back to China.

As you can see, European media generally believe that the two teams are evenly matched and neither of them has the advantage in strength.

They think this game may be a tug-of-war.

In this way, under the gaze of the crowd, the whole Manchester City team took a plane to Lyon, France to prepare for their away game.
