Chapter 404: A different Chelsea

The words of Glory certainly caused a stir in Madrid, Spain.

Because Rong Guang was like stabbing the wound in Real Madrid, picking up the already scabbed wound again, and sprinkling some salt, cumin, chili noodles, pepper powder and other things on the bloody wound.

That sour... I won't mention it.

Real Madrid fans are already unhappy about Rongguang. Rongguang has a deep relationship with Real Madrid. Now he takes the initiative to find trouble, which makes Real Madrid fans even more upset.

And this time Real Madrid fans need to have confidence.

When Real Madrid faced Manchester City last season, they were still suppressed by Barcelona in the domestic league, and they lost to Barcelona 0:5 away in the national derby in the first leg, which made them feel a little embarrassed.

But now it's different. Mourinho seems to prove that the team he coaches will always be stronger in his second season than in his first season.

Now in La Liga, the league has played twenty-seven rounds, Real Madrid has won 24 wins, draws and losses, and has accumulated 73 points, ranking first.

What about Barcelona? Although they rank second, they have 63 points, which is a full tenth behind. With eleven rounds left in the league, this difference means that Barcelona will find it difficult to reverse Real Madrid to win the championship.

Under such circumstances, Real Madrid fans are certainly confident to seek revenge on Manchester City and Glory in the Champions League.

So although the game is far from beginning, the verbal battle between the two sides has already jumped up by Glory.

The Marca and Ass newspapers have repeatedly attacked Glory inappropriate and lack of grace, and have inherited the "collapse theory" of the English media, saying that the game is so intensive that Manchester City will sooner or later commit suicide.

The English media are unwilling to do this - yes, we mentioned the "collapse theory", but we mentioned the collapse of the domestic league. This is our civil war. How can we fight the civil war be our own business. Is it your turn to point fingers?

What is the Champions League?

The Champions League is a foreign battle! Manchester City plays well in the Champions League and can stabilize the four Champions League places in the Premier League, which is a good thing for the entire Premier League.

During the Champions League, do you still want to use the "collapse theory" to criticize Manchester City? Then we will definitely not be able to bear it!

So before Manchester City was concerned, the English media broke up with the Spanish media first.

Everyone was having a very lively fight, which made people feel an illusion that the next game was a showdown between these two teams.

But it is not.

Manchester City's next game is the FA Cup quarterfinals, with Manchester City facing Stoke City.

In this game, Benitez still did not send all the main players.

Although the media is in Manchester City, what they said makes sense. With such a intensive game, Manchester City's physical reserves may not be able to keep up in the end, so we have to prepare for the future. In addition to increasing the content and training volume of physical training in training, we are to rotate completely in the game.

In the FA Cup game against Stoke City, he did not intend to let all the team's main players go.

It's not that he plans to give up the FA Cup, but that he thinks he can beat Stoke City without all the main players.

As long as there are key figures, it's fine.

And the next game is the league against Chelsea, which is a very important game. At that time, the main players will definitely play.

In the end, Manchester City, who played on the bench, defeated Stoke City 2:1 at home, breaking the opponent's idea of ​​revenge.

After eliminating Stoke City, Manchester City reached the FA Cup semi-finals.

Their opponent will be Everton.

On March 22, in the 29th round of the league, Manchester City welcomed Chelsea at home.

After playing twenty-eight rounds in the league, Chelsea now has 49 points, ranking fifth, and fourth place is Arsenal, who has 52 points.

So if Chelsea wants to win the top four in the league, they have to win the game. With few league rounds left, three-pointers in each game are very important for Chelsea.

Chelsea did not perform well in the league this season.

They also played stumblingly in the Champions League.

In the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals, Chelsea challenged Nabus away.

Napoli has not participated in the Champions League for many years. This time they returned to the Champions League, they were not optimistic about it, but they came out of the group. When facing Chelsea, many people thought that Chelsea had drawn a good draw.

As a result, in the first leg, Napoli defeated Chelsea 3:1 at home!

The failure of this game also directly led to Boas's dismissal.

After losing to Manchester City in the league, many people once thought that Boas's days at Stamford Bridge were over, but Abramovich showed patience beyond his imagination this time and did not fire Boas at that time.

As it turns out, although Abramovich always fired the head coach without patience, this time he was unexpectedly patient and wrong...

Chelsea led by Boas did not show any sign of rebound in the league. In the Champions League, they also lost to Napoli away.

Abramovich finally understood this time - in Boas, it is not the time to show his patience!

So he fired Boas and assistant coach Di Matteo became the team's interim head coach.

After Di Matteo led the team, he made a big reversal at home, defeating Napoli 3:1! He dragged the game into overtime, and Chelsea scored another goal in overtime, and finally eliminated Napoli with a total score of 5:4 and advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

In the Champions League quarterfinals, Chelsea's opponent is Benfica, not a very strong team. Chelsea has great hope of entering the Champions League semi-finals again.

However, Dimateo did not intend to give up the domestic league at the same time.

What if you are eliminated in the Champions League and want to participate in the Champions League? Then you can only get the top four in the league.

Anyway, after this game, there will be no Champions League matches next week, so Chelsea does not need to stay in it, they can do their best in this game.

So Chelsea challenged Manchester City with all its main players.

※※※

The two teams played very tangled in the first half, and neither scored a goal.

The same was true after the second half started. The battle was very fierce, and there were several yellow cards, but the goal was slow to come.

Until the 60th minute, central defender Cahill used his head to break the Manchester City goal for Chelsea in a corner kick!

1:0!

Chelsea is ahead in the away game!

"Cahill! Chelsea leads! They lead away!!"

"The two sides fought very well in this game, and there was almost no chance of shooting... But Chelsea seized the opportunity of set pieces to score! With 30 minutes left in the game, Manchester City must work harder... Otherwise, they might lose to Chelsea at home." Alan Hansen said this because Chelsea performed very hard in today's game. Their toughness was like a nemesis for the tired Manchester City.

After all, after Matuidi was injured, no one of the Manchester City players wanted to be injured again in the game. That would affect the team's performance, but would make themselves missed many important games. There will be the European Cup this summer. If you are injured at this time and cannot participate in the European Cup, it would be a big loss.

Even non-European internationals will still participate in the World Cup qualifiers on their respective continents.

It was precisely because Di Matteo captured the mentality of Manchester City players that made Chelsea very tough in the game.

His toughness also achieved good results. Sixty minutes ago, Manchester City failed to score a goal, and Chelsea scored by himself in the sixty minutes.

If Chelsea continues to be so tough after scoring, it will indeed cause Manchester City a headache.

So after Chelsea scored a goal, Manchester City had not scored yet.

This is relatively rare in Manchester City's games. Manchester City has not failed to concede goals in the game or are in a state of lagging behind.

But they often equalize the score quickly after conceding the ball, two minutes, three minutes, five minutes, and six minutes.

It's like the opponent's goal will only anger them, making them appear even more crazy and unstoppable after losing the ball.

Like today, it is really rare that ten minutes have passed and the score has not been equalized.

Chelsea's tough style of playing makes Manchester City players very uncomfortable, so naturally they can't play well.

Five minutes passed, fifteen minutes after Manchester City conceded the ball, but the score on the court still did not change, and it was still 0:1, Manchester City was behind at home.

"It's been 75 minutes of the game, and Manchester City hasn't evened the score yet... I think it's already good for Manchester City to equalize the score in this game... If it's not right, it's entirely possible for them to lose this game!"

Alan Hansen said.

This is probably what those who sneer Manchester City want to hear the most now.

If Chelsea can defeat Manchester City and end the league unbeaten record that Manchester City has continued to continue, then even if they lose to Manchester City many times, they can be written off now!
