Chapter 963 Give you a championship for free, do you want it?
"What a great goal!!!!!!"

In a very short moment, the emotions of nearly [-] fans at the Etihad Stadium completely exploded!
Looking at the whole world, besides the charm of football, what else can we do?
Nearly [-] fans shouted hoarsely in the stands, screaming like crazy, venting their inner excitement and excitement, forming a tsunami-like wave in the stadium, sweeping every corner.

The core of the storm is Su Dong who is galloping around the court.

After he scored the goal, he immediately turned and ran to the sidelines, jumped over the billboard, and stood in front of the fans in the bottom stands.

Everyone was yelling at him, shouting his name frantically.

One to zero!

Manchester City finally took the lead!
More importantly, Su Dong scored a wonderful goal!

……

"At the critical moment, it was Su Dong who stepped forward again."

"I believe that by now, no one should question Su Dong's importance to this Manchester City. He has stood up again and again to prove his value to this Manchester City. He has used his wonderful performance to prove to the world that everything Manchester City has invested in him is really worth it."

"It can even be said that he alone is worth the fighting power of a team."

In the live broadcast, Manchester City's players chased after him, and surrounded Su Dong in the middle.

From the faces of every Manchester City player, we can see their admiration and admiration for Su Dong from the bottom of their hearts.

After interacting with the fans, Su Dong turned around and hugged his teammates one by one.

"Not long ago, the British Sun newspaper conducted a questionnaire survey and asked the fans, who is the most charismatic and most popular captain among the [-] Premier League teams?"

"The result surprised many people. With a huge lead, Sudong overwhelmed Terry, Vidic, Gerrard and other legendary stars to be elected. This is enough to see Sudong's weight in the hearts of Premier League fans."

"And another question is, if you want to choose a captain for your favorite team, who would you choose? The scope of choice is not limited to the Premier League, but look at the five major European leagues, and even world football."

"The result is still surprising. Su Dong was re-elected and became the captain most wanted by all fans, including fans of arch-enemy Manchester United. Their first choice was Su Dong. The reason was that they all believed that Su Dong's arrival would greatly enhance Manchester United's competitiveness and bring the Red Devils back to their glory days. Unfortunately, they couldn't poach someone from Manchester City."

"Today, Su Dong is not just a superstar, he is also the captain, banner and spiritual leader of Manchester City. Even Guardiola has mentioned Su Dong's management of the locker room many times on different occasions. He spoke highly of Su Dong's contribution to Manchester City and believed that he is the most indispensable person for Manchester City."

"Su Dong is proving this time and time again through his own performance."

……

After Su Dong scored a key goal for Manchester City, Liverpool was completely passive.

This is the helplessness of defensive counterattack.

For a team like Liverpool, trying their best to defend may not be able to stop Manchester City's offense. If they concede the ball first, does that mean the team will come out and play?
If you press out to attack, how to maintain the defensive formation?

Does it mean that it is easier to be penetrated by Manchester City's offense?

In this case, when the score is behind, should we press out and play?

Dalglish's final choice is still stable, because he knows very well that pressing out may not be able to break Manchester City's goal, but the possibility of losing the ball again is very high.

This is really a choice without a choice.

If the skills are not as good as others, you can only compromise.

Manchester City slowly controlled the ball, patiently organized and planned the offensive, and finally relied on Su Dong's goal to beat Liverpool [-]-[-] at home, and successfully advanced to the League Cup final with a total score of [-]-[-].

In another game, Cardiff first lost to Crystal Palace [-]-[-] away, then defeated Crystal Palace [-]-[-] at home, and finally reached a penalty shootout. Cardiff defeated Crystal Palace [-]-[-] on penalties and successfully won the ticket to the League Cup final.

As soon as the results came out, the whole of Britain was fried.

This is almost like asking Manchester City: give you a championship for free, do you want it?
Cardiff is just a Championship team, while Manchester City is currently the leader of the Premier League. The difference in strength between the two teams is too great.

Manchester City also secretly rejoiced at their encounter with Cardiff in the League Cup final, but they did not show too much joy. Instead, they adopted a low-key external approach, including Begiristan and Guardiola. They all said very low-key that Cardiff is a very competitive team, and Manchester City must go all out.

This is actually not without reason.

The League Cup final is just at the end of February, which is also a big trouble for Manchester City, because the team will play the Champions League knockout round, and the opponent is AC Milan from Serie A. At that time, Manchester City will definitely be distracted.

In addition, Manchester City is very sure that their schedule is too sad.

…………

…………

At noon on January 28th, Manchester City challenged Brighton in the fourth knockout round of the FA Cup.

There is a huge gap in strength between the two teams. As soon as the game started, Manchester City firmly locked in the victory.

In the 5th minute, David Luiz inserted an angry shot from the back and opened the scoring for Manchester City.

After that, Aguero scored twice, Dzeko, Gareth Barry and Douglas each scored a goal, helping Manchester City finally beat Brighton [-]-[-] in the away game, and successfully won the right to advance to the FA Cup knockout round.

However, after the fourth knockout round, the FA drew lots for the fifth round of the FA Cup. Manchester City was really unlucky to draw Chelsea. This is a terrible rhythm.

Against Manchester United in the third round, Chelsea in the fifth round, and the FA Cup schedule, it is really doubtful. Did the FA always deliberately use the draw to toss Manchester City and prevent him from winning the championship?
Otherwise, how to explain Manchester City's unlucky signing?

……

After returning to the Premier League, Manchester City ushered in the No.20 three rounds and challenged Everton away.

In the No.18 minute of the first half, Su Dong received a cross from David Silva at the top of the penalty area, volleyed vigorously, and blasted a ground-breaking volley that pierced Everton's goal.

But Manchester City performed very unsatisfactorily throughout the game. Although the ball possession rate was as high as 70.00%, they failed to create opportunities, especially in the second half.

In the end, the two teams shook hands one to one.

Courtois' goal was scored and City's winning streak was halted.

Blue Moon's winning streak this season finally stopped at 22 games, which is already the best record in history that the entire European football world looks up to.

Although the league's winning streak was broken, Manchester City still received unanimous appreciation from the media and fans after the game.

The reason is simple. Manchester City's performance so far this season is really eye-catching.

The four fronts are going hand in hand, the League Cup has reached the final, the FA Cup has also reached the fifth round, the league championship is already in the bag, and the first time in history to participate in the Champions League has reached the knockout round. How can such a report card be unsatisfactory?
After the game against Everton, Su Dong said in an interview with the media that losing is not a bad thing for Manchester City.

"From August to now, we have played two games almost every week, especially from Christmas to now. We are the team with the most intensive schedule in the world, even playing two more games than other teams in the Premier League. This will consume a lot of our physical fitness."

"Frankly speaking, we are very satisfied that the team has been able to persist until now."

Su Dong said, "In the game against Everton, everyone has tried their best. We can't ask for more. Everton played very tenaciously and they deserved a draw."

Guardiola also said that a draw is a good thing for Manchester City.

"Proper rest is for us to go further in the future. Now this draw allows all of us to take a good breath, take a rest, and prepare for the next game."

Technical director Begiristain also said that the team's away draw with Everton stopped the winning streak, which is not a bad thing.

Manchester City's technical director revealed that the management will create the best game environment for the team, and firmly believes that the team can continue to demonstrate Manchester City's technical and tactical standards in the next games and achieve new successes on all fronts.

In this round of the league, apart from Manchester United beating Stoke City [-]-[-] at home and Liverpool beating Wolves [-]-[-] away, Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City all suffered draws.

The Times analyzed the game on the last day of January, and believed that all the teams were physically and mentally exhausted after the devil's schedule during Christmas and winter break.

There is no need to say more about Manchester City. The task of the game itself is the heaviest, as are the players of Chelsea and Arsenal. The draw itself is actually not bad, but Chelsea and Arsenal lost too many points.

"Judging from the current situation, Chelsea and Arsenal still have a good chance of retaining the top four in the league, but the risks are also high, especially when there are teams like Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle watching closely."

Liverpool's situation is the worst. At present, let alone breaking into the top four of the league, it is estimated that it will be difficult to break into the European theater, and Liverpool's management does not seem to have the idea of ​​​​changing coaches.

On the contrary, it is Chelsea, rumors of a coaching change are endless. It seems that Abramovich's patience with Villas-Boas has been worn down. God knows when the Russians will make up their minds to change coaches?
"Half a year ago, they used the highest termination clause in the history of a head coach to lure Villas-Boas to Chelsea with a termination fee of 500 million euros. Now they want to fire him and pay another dismissal payment. Chelsea's operation is really incomprehensible."

"It can only be said that Abramovich is indeed rich and willful."

Manchester United failed to win the long-rumored Sneijder during the winter break. It is said that the transfer fee was not negotiated.

However, on the morning of the second day after the winter break transfer market closed, a big news broke out inside Manchester United.
