i want to be king

Chapter 950 Records

Two to zero!
Manchester City finally defeated Chelsea at Stamford Bridge with Su Dong's brace.

As the live broadcast commentator of Sky Sports concluded after the game, after Manchester City defeated Chelsea, the only thing that could prevent Blue Moon from winning the second half of the championship with a complete victory record was the legendary Christmas Devil schedule.

Fifteen consecutive victories, which created the longest winning streak in the history of Premier League football.

Manchester City also relied on this wave of winning streak this season to let the entire Premier League and even the entire European football world see their dominance. Guardiola has also relied on Manchester City's outstanding record in the past year and a half. Become a world-renowned top coach.

In particular, the passing and possession style of play he created for Manchester City has sparked a trend all over the world.

In the past, Real Madrid and Barcelona did not play pass and possession, but that was more based on the strength of the players.

During the Real Madrid Galacticos era, Barcelona Cruyff Dream Team [-], Van Gaal and Rijkaard Dream Team [-] era, the teams all played pass and possession, but there has never been a team that has sparked so much discussion as Guardiola's Manchester City today.

Every game has reached or even exceeded [-]% of the possession rate. What an amazing statistic.

The key is that Guardiola's pass and control system is very stable, and even the players' own mistakes can be effectively avoided.

As the Sky Sports commentator said: "In today's Premier League, no team can stop Manchester City. I even think that if Manchester City continues to maintain this winning streak in the second half, we should not be much surprised."

"Manchester United has many problems of its own, problems appearing on all three lines; Chelsea's locker room conflicts and the team's metabolism also have problems; Arsenal and Liverpool are still lacking in competitiveness this season, and Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle are even more unable to shake Manchester City's dominance of the Premier League."

After this analysis, the commentator finally came to the conclusion that according to the current trend, if the other [-] teams in the Premier League want to attack Manchester City, basically they can only wait for Manchester City to make mistakes or have major changes.

However, there are still many hidden dangers for Manchester City.

At present, Manchester City has reached the semi-finals of the League Cup. After the Christmas Devil's schedule, the FA Cup will also enter the schedule. Coupled with the Champions League knockout round that will start at the end of February, Manchester City will begin to bear the pressure of the fourth-tier battle in the second half of the league.

In terms of the thickness of the bench, the strength of Manchester City is absolutely no other team can match.

Especially after the introduction of Aguero, Hazard, David Luiz, Leighton Bynes and other players, the thickness of Manchester City's entire bench has become very strong. According to the Times, Manchester City can even deploy two sets of lineups to play in the Premier League.

However, multi-line combat, as well as the problems caused by injuries and players' state fluctuations, will become more and more serious.

Whether Manchester City can withstand the pressure in the second half, especially to participate in the Champions League knockout for the first time in history, Manchester City lacks this convenient experience, and whether they can maintain the state of the first half is still unknown.

But one thing is for sure, that is, this season's Premier League champion does not seem to have much suspense.

At least, after fifteen rounds, Manchester City, which has won 2 consecutive victories, is already ahead of No.[-] Manchester United by as many as nine points.

If Manchester City can persist through the Christmas schedule and winter break in this state, then the league championship will be completely undisputed.

…………

…………

After playing against Chelsea, the entire UK, Europe, and even the whole world are discussing the focus of the Premier League game.

But at the same time, Manchester City did not immediately return to Manchester, but stayed in London.

After the players washed up in the locker room, they did not change into the uniform of the team. Instead, they put on their casual clothes, boarded the team bus, and went to a restaurant near Hyde Park for dinner.

City will be hosting their annual Christmas dinner here tonight.

So far this season, Manchester City has basically played double matches a week without stopping.

Between round No.15 and round No.16, it was rare that there was no competition, but then there was the devil's Christmas schedule. Between round No.17 and round No.18, there was an interval of four days, with Christmas in between.

Therefore, after several considerations, the team decided to arrange the Christmas dinner for this week.

First, the players expressed their opinions in the locker room, and everyone basically agreed to have a dinner. The focus of the discussion was the location of the dinner, and whether to arrange some programs after the dinner?
Having eaten at almost all the restaurants in Manchester, Gareth Barry suggested that he knew there was a very good restaurant in London near Hyde Park, and proposed to go to the restaurant for dinner after kicking off Chelsea.

This is certainly no problem.

But after the dinner, this group of rare players went crazy and wanted to play.

Joe Hart, Gareth Barry, Adam Johnson and others are regulars at nightclubs. According to them, a high-end nightclub in Mayfair, London is preparing a Cosplay themed event for the coming Christmas. They suggested team building to participate in this event and try something new.

However, this brings up another problem, that is, what about the recovery training tomorrow morning?
The vast majority of people in the locker room agreed. After all, they had never played before, and it was a group activity for the first team. Everyone coaxed together, and they were all interested, so they all looked at Su Dong eagerly.

It's time for the captain to stand up!
Su Dong had no choice, nodded and agreed to go to the coaching staff to apply, and adjust the original afternoon of the next day of the game and the morning of the day after tomorrow to a full day off the next day of the game, so that the players will have enough time to party all night in London.

When Su Dong submitted the application and gave sufficient reasons, Guardiola and the coaching staff also agreed, and the management side also approved, saying that it would be shabby for only the players to participate, so they proposed to let the players' families go south with the team to participate in dinners and Christmas activities together. All expenses will be reimbursed by the club and hotel reservations for the team.

It can be said that this logistics support work is really impossible to pick.

But Guardiola made a request, that is, the players try not to drink alcohol, and they must go back to the hotel to rest after three o'clock in the morning. Obviously, they are also afraid that the players will be too excited and affect the Christmas schedule.

What's more, I'm afraid that there will be some big news from this group of crazy players.

So, there was a scene where Manchester City players all went to a restaurant for dinner after the game against Chelsea.

From the beginning to the end of the whole thing, Manchester City never worried about whether they could beat Chelsea, never worried about whether they would still be in the mood to participate in this carnival after losing.

This is actually a symbol of Manchester City's improvement in self-confidence.

……

The family members of the players were also taken to London by the club's special car early. After watching the game, they went to the restaurant to wait.

When the first-team players arrived, it was naturally quite lively.

To be on the safe side, Manchester City directly booked the entire restaurant to serve Manchester City players, coaching staff and staff. The technical director Begiristan who accompanied the team was also among them.

Guardiola also spoke on behalf of the coaching staff, which was also a set of words of thanks, but mainly to remind the players that after eating, play and make trouble, don't make trouble, and the players must return to the hotel on time.

Since he will return to Manchester with Begiristan tonight, the task of supervising the players falls on the shoulders of captain Su Dong. Who made him take the lead in the whole thing?

After the meal, the player took his family to the nightclub called Anaya in Mayfair.

Mayfair is an upper-class neighborhood in London, and Anaya is a high-end nightclub, so security and privacy are definitely not a problem, and the nightclub also knows that Manchester City is coming, so they made preparations early, including providing a series of cosplay props.

The nightclub is decorated in the style of a horror house, which looks a bit weird, especially with the night in London.

After sending the players to the place, Su Dong took a special look at the scene and found that these guys were really interesting.

Aguero disguised as Harry Potter, Dzeko played Star Wars Darth Vader, Pepe played Iron Man, David Silva put on a Spider-Man suit...

In addition, there are characters from movies and games such as Avatar and Wilderness. All the props are available here. All players choose what they like to wear, and they all look very happy.

The funniest among them is Hazard, he actually chose Batman, the problem is, with his height...

Well, this is definitely the cutest Batman ever.

"Okay, everyone, listen to me."

Seeing that they were all in the mood, Su Dong applauded vigorously and called them all over.

"Everyone heard what the head coach said just now, he asked me to keep an eye on you."

Su Dong's words made everyone's faces change slightly. Who would want to be controlled at this time?

Of course, let go of your hands and feet and play to your heart's content!

"But..." Su Dong changed the subject, "I still have something to do, so I won't stay here to play with you. I hope everyone can have a good time, have fun, and control the time yourself. I will discuss it with the reporters from the outside media, but don't stay until dawn."

"yeah!!!!"

As soon as Sterling finished listening, he jumped up excitedly.

Everyone burst into laughter, and the scene became lively again.

"It's still the same sentence, have fun, try not to drink, don't make trouble, don't have conflicts, don't stay until dawn, that's it!"

After finishing speaking, Su Dong clapped his hands vigorously, signaling to disband.

"Su, I love you!" Marcelo suddenly shouted in the crowd.

"Me too!"

"I want to marry you!"

Everyone burst into laughter again.

But I have to admit that Su Dong did what they wanted.

Be serious when you should be serious, and let go when you should let go, which makes Manchester City's players very satisfied with him.

From the booing of everyone, it is not difficult to see that they respect and love Su Dong from the bottom of their hearts.

This also convinced Su Dong that everything he did in Manchester City was not in vain.
