Chapter 91 Battle of the Focus?

Of course, there is not no good news for Bayern Munich.

The existence of glory is certainly a huge threat, but Manchester City may not be able to do their best in this Champions League match.

Because before this Champions League match, Manchester City will play a very critical game.

This game is the fifteenth round of the league.

Manchester City faces Chelsea at home.

Manchester City is now the first in the league, while Chelsea is the second in the league.

The two teams are only one point apart.

Manchester City plays one less game, but this is not important in this direct conversation.

Chelsea will not think that the victory of this game is meaningless just because they play one more game than Manchester City.

Similarly, Manchester City will not think that even if they lose in this game just because they play one less game than Chelsea.

Manchester City's start of such an excellent start this season has given Manchester City players more ambitions. This season they are no longer just satisfied with qualifying for the Champions League next season.

Since we haven't lost the game yet and ranked first, why not consider competing for the championship?

Such ambitions slowly sprout in the hearts of Manchester City players.

Of course, Benitez also hopes to lead the team to win the championship.

Although he has been in the Premier League for many years, he has never scored a league championship. When he led Liverpool, although Liverpool had never won the Premier League championship before, Benitez could not break this fate.

Now he is eager to achieve this wish at Manchester City.

This is a battle between the first and second in the league, and it is also very likely that it is a battle for the league championship this season.

The league was held for fourteen rounds, Manchester City scored 37 points in one game, Chelsea scored 36 points, and then Manchester United in the league third. They scored 31 points, five points away from Chelsea and six points away from Manchester City.

This gap is a bit big.

So if nothing unexpected happens, the league championship this season is likely to be born among the two teams, Manchester City and Chelsea.

Whoever can defeat who can gain a psychological advantage in the subsequent league championship battle.

Both sides attach great importance to this game.

As for the last round of the Champions League group stage three days later, the media basically did not mention it.

The media that support both sides have begun to fight verbal battles.

The Manchester Evening News found the 207 Champions League final. Bayern Munich defeated AC Milan in Athens. The core of Bayern Munich's game was glory, and the head coach of AC Milan was Ancelotti.

The Manchester Evening News used this game as a matter of the main purpose of disgusting Ancelotti.

Ancelotti had no choice but to use glory, but now he has no choice but to use glory.

It was really a sprinkling of salt on Ancelotti's wound.

London media talked about Chelsea's historical record against Manchester City, especially the last ten games of the confrontation. Chelsea won seven games, and lost only two games in one game. From this point of view, Chelsea has an absolute advantage. Among them, Manchester City has encountered Chelsea seven times in a row and lost the game.

In response, the Manchester Evening News counterattacked: "...Thanks to the London media for providing this data, we can see that before Manchester City had honor, they all lost to Chelsea, but in the last encounter last season, we won. What does this mean? It means that the situation has changed.

Manchester media also mocked Chelsea for shrinking defense when they met Manchester City last season, and completely gave up on offense. They even lost the ball, which was simply a shameful person.

Hiddink was unable to stay at Chelsea because of the failure of this game.

Both sides have turned against each other's dark history, and it seems that whoever has more dark history will definitely lose.

These verbal battles between the media also affect the players. Because reporters will interview players and hear any comments on each other.

As the team's captain and number one star, Rongguang is naturally the most popular among journalists.

Everyone wants to hear what he thinks about the next focus battle.

But Glory doesn't think it's a focus battle.

"Is the game against Chelsea special?" Rongguang asked the reporter.

"Of course the significance is extraordinary. This is the match between the first and second in the league..." The reporters emphasized the significance of this match to Rongguang.

"I've only played fifteen rounds of the league, are you going to decide the league championship?" Rong Guang looked surprised.

"Uh" When facing questions like Rongguang, the reporters didn't know how to answer them.

Yes, the league has only been in fifteen rounds, so it is too exaggerated to say that this game will affect the final league championship. However, the media is used to exaggerating and don’t think there is anything. Now that Rongguang asks, they don’t know how to answer.

In order to create gimmicks, they just exaggerate. Now they are speechless by their own exaggeration.

"So, this is just an ordinary league game. No matter who wins or loses, it has no impact on the final league championship." Rongguang said.

Everyone thought that Honor’s statement actually means that he didn’t care about the outcome of the game.

But then, Rongguang said: "But no matter what, in our home court, we definitely don't accept defeat."

The reporters were all shocked by this turning point, but they didn't expect that the Glory would come to such a conclusion in the end - how did his logic come about?

Rongguang said he wanted to win, but the reporters had nothing to say. He had the strength and confidence and qualifications. He said he wanted to win, which was definitely not a gimmick or a bluff.

So in the eyes of reporters, this is not something that can be hyped.

There is no explosive verbal conflict over Chelsea either.

Ancelotti is a low-key and good-looking man. He rarely talks before the game with his opponent and then mocks his opponent. He is not Mourinho.

Influenced by the new head coach, Chelsea players are no longer aggressive.

Although they should have a lot to say.

Last season, Chelsea lost the game in a very shameful way, and they couldn't just pretend that this thing had never happened at all.

So they really want revenge.

But Ancelotti's players did not show it.

Everyone was holding their energy in their hearts to beat Manchester City in the game.

※※※

Manchester City's last training session before the game is still one day before the start of the game.

This training class won't have much intensity.

The main thing is to practice set pieces and perform some shooting training

This is a very ordinary pre-match training class.

Such training classes are generally not open to the media.

So there are no journalists or fans outside the training ground today.

The entire training base was closed.

In this training session, Robinho was injured.

During a set piece attack, he jumped up to compete for the header, and sprained his ankle after landing.

I couldn't stand up at that time, and finally I was supported by the team doctor and walked slowly.

Judging from this, the next game against Chelsea will definitely not be able to play.

Benitez frowned and went over to check Robinho's injury, then came back and told others to continue training.

David Silva was asked to wear a yellow vest representing the main force and joined the main force group.

This means David Silva will start against Chelsea.

※※※

Because it was closed training, the news of Robinho's injury did not spread at the beginning.

It was not until the afternoon pre-match press conference that everyone knew what happened in the morning when Benitez announced that Robinho was missing due to injury.

"...I don't know if this is good news for Chelsea. Robinho's performance this season is excellent. His absence is not sure whether it will cause losses to Manchester City's offense..."

Some media commented.

"Robinho is absent? I think it has no effect." Ancelotti answered the reporters' questions. "Manchester City is a very strong team, especially their substitute lineup. After this summer, it has been improved and has excellent players on the bench, so I don't think Robinho's absence can bring them any losses..."

Ancelotti does not think Robinho's absence will affect Manchester City unless it is the absence of Glory.

If Rongguang missed this game, he would breathe a sigh of relief.

But this is unlikely. Rongguang is a person with good physical fitness. He rarely experiences when he is exhausted and needs rest. In addition, he is rarely injured.

There are few minor injuries in normal times.

I joined Manchester City and missed a game due to injury.

The attendance rate is quite high.

Ancelotti was not concerned about the impact of Robinho's absence.

※※※

Robinho was a little frustrated, but David Silva was the one who benefited directly.

Although David Silva did not show it on the surface, in his heart, he was a little excited about Robinho's injury and he got the chance.

He has been joining Manchester City for almost half a season, but he has never won the main position.

Because he challenged Glory after he just arrived at the team, he was injured and missed the team's most important pre-season training | After that, even if he recovered from injury, he had been paying off his debts for his stupid actions - he missed the pre-season training | He did not have a tacit understanding with the team, so Benitez naturally had no need to let him replace Robinho to start.

In addition, Robinho performed well, so even though he had completely recovered from his injury and his tacit understanding with the team gradually established. David Silva was still firmly under Robinho and could only start in games like the League Cup.

Now, Robinho is injured and he has a great chance.

It's not just this game, but before Robinho recovered from injury, it was his performance time.

He must use this period to fully demonstrate his abilities so that even if Robinho returns from injury, he will not be able to shake his position.
