Chapter 276 The game can be lost, but Yang Feng must die

"With the end of the 1/8 round of the Champions League, this season's Champions League quarter-finals are freshly released.

Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain drew 1-1 at the Parc des Princes and 2-2 at Stamford Bridge. The two sides shook hands with an aggregate score of 3-3, but Paris Saint-Germain eliminated with a weak away goal advantage. Chelsea, a thrilling cut;

勒沃库森在主场1-0战胜了马德里竞技，可惜到了客场之后却2-4败北，总比分3-4无缘1/4决赛；

拜仁慕尼黑在客场和顿涅次矿工0-0握手言和，但回到主场之后如砍瓜切菜般7-0战胜对手，挺进8强；
Although Arsenal defeated Monaco 2-0 in the away game, they still failed to escape the fate of being eliminated because of an unexpected 1-3 loss at home;
With four goals and three assists from Yang Feng, Manchester City eliminated Juventus 8-4 in two rounds and advanced strongly to the next round;
Barcelona also double-killed Dortmund and entered the quarter-finals without any suspense;

皇家马德里虽然在伯纳乌爆冷3-4输给了沙尔克04，但还是凭借客场2-0的胜利顺利过关；
Porto defeated Basel and became a member of the quarter-finals of this season's Champions League.

It can be seen from the list of the top eight that La Liga is very strong. In the direct confrontation, three Bundesliga teams were eliminated, and they occupied three seats in the top eight, becoming the biggest winner. With Chelsea and Arsenal out, Manchester City became the Premier League. The sole representative of the..."

"In terms of personal performance, Yang Feng firmly occupied the top of the double list with 16 goals and 5 assists, becoming the most feared striker of all defenders. If there is no accident, the record of 20 goals in a single season in the Champions League he created last season will soon be over. It has become history, and what everyone is most curious about now is how far he can improve this record in the end, and whether he can lead Manchester City to become the first team to successfully defend the Champions League after the restructuring."

Barcelona and Manchester City are currently the only two teams that have won all eight games in the Champions League. However, the offensive firepower that Barcelona is proud of is dwarfed by Manchester City, but Barcelona is slightly better than Manchester City in terms of winning odds. The reason... On the one hand, it is too difficult to defend the Champions League. Everyone still has certain doubts about Manchester City's ability to create history. On the other hand, Manchester City relies heavily on Yang Feng in terms of goals. Almost two-thirds of the team's goals are Direct goals or assists from him.

But in any case, Manchester City and Barcelona are the teams that other teams least want to face. Everyone avoids it, but in the end there are still people who have to face it, and these two unlucky ghosts will soon be freshly released.

In the UEFA Champions League, the Madrid city derby was staged, Manchester City and the local tyrants in Paris fought, but Barcelona and Bayern got a big gift package.

Guardiola and Enrique naturally laughed secretly, Simeone and Ancelotti were naturally very dissatisfied, and Pellegrini only said lightly when talking about the feelings of the draw: "We never choose opponents .”

One sentence completely offended Paris Saint-Germain.

There is no doubt that Pei Gong is pretending to be compared, but this sentence can be understood in any way. Speaking of positive energy, "We never choose opponents" means to emphasize that as long as we are strong enough, we will not be afraid of anyone. It exudes a smell of self-improvement, but interpreted from other aspects, "We never choose opponents" means that Paris Saint-Germain is no different from those small players who are not in the mainstream, and they are all eliminated by me. share.

Apparently, PSG thought of it in the darkest of places.

Coincidentally, from the coach to the players at Manchester City, they don't care what they think...

In the conference room, Pellegrini is doing math problems with the players.

"First, Manchester City, 25 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses, 76 points;
Second, Chelsea, 18 wins, 9 draws and 2 losses, 63 points;
Third, Arsenal..."

As soon as he finished writing Arsenal's name, Pellegrini stopped, "Forget it, we only need to care about Chelsea now."

In January, Chelsea once threatened Manchester City's top position, but after Yang Feng returned from the Asian Cup, Manchester City won a wave of consecutive victories, while Chelsea enjoyed a lot of draws. The points gap has reached double digits.

"There are nine rounds left in the league!" Pellegrini said. "We predict in the worst case that Chelsea will win the last nine games, then their final points will be 90 points, and we are now 76 points, which means we only need five more victories, and this season's Premier League title is ours!"

As for the teams behind Chelsea, the highest score is only in the 91s. As long as Manchester City wins five consecutive victories and scores [-] points first, they will naturally not be able to make waves.

"OK, let's look at our next opponents, Crystal Palace, West Brom, Manchester United, West Ham United, Aston Villa, tell me, who is invincible?"

Aguero, who was in the limelight in the last game, is now a little drifting. Hearing this, he curled his lips and said: "Not only is there no one invincible here, there is no team in the entire Premier League that we cannot beat."

A little boastful, but everyone agrees.

Manchester United caught inside was directly ignored by everyone.

In fact, Manchester United this season is not that bad - if you don't compare them to the Ferguson era...

Disciples can expand, but the coach can't. Pellegrini emphasized Manchester United, "Don't underestimate Manchester United, they are a team that is good at creating miracles, and this is a derby. Needless to say, you guys Everyone should know what this game means."

Kompany has not come back yet, team deputy Kolarov lacks prestige, third captain Silva is a boring gourd, and Yang Feng directly expressed his position as a player representative.

He glanced at the schedule and said: "Don't worry, boss, after April 4, we will raise the Premier League trophy in advance, and then concentrate on preparing for the Champions League semi-final."

On April 4th, the 26th round of the Premier League, if Manchester City can win a wave of five consecutive league victories, then the points will meet the 34 points required to win the championship in advance, and at that time, the two rounds of the quarter-finals of the Champions League will also be played. It's over.

Pellegrini nodded solemnly, "From now on, the team will be in a state of combat readiness. All players must attend training on time. In principle, they are not allowed to ask for leave! Think about it, brothers, children, defending the Premier League and the Champions League at the same time! This What an achievement! We will be recorded in the annals of world football!"

After the restructuring of the UEFA Champions League, no team has ever defended the Champions League. As for the Premier League, Manchester United has always defended and even won consecutive championships, but Manchester City has only won two Premier League titles until now. Defending the title is also of great significance to them.

Manchester City began to actively prepare for the game, showing their best form and starting to sprint to the league.

On March 3, against West Bromwich Albion at home, Manchester City won 21-6 cleanly. In addition to Yang Feng and Aguero both scoring goals, Silva, Kante, Kroos and Van Dijk all scored goals .

On April 4th, Manchester City encountered tenacious resistance in the away game against Crystal Palace. The two sides drew 7-1 in more than 1 minutes. At the last moment, David Silva stood up and caught Yang Feng's heel. After the pass, the ball was pushed into the dead corner, and Manchester City brought back a hard-won victory.

Regrettably, Chelsea also achieved two consecutive victories at the same time, still closely following the pace of Manchester City.

Time soon came to April 4, and the second Manchester Derby of the season finally arrived.

After experiencing the initial chaos, the state of Van Gaal's Manchester United team has finally improved. Now it has reached No.4 in the standings and is still capable of overturning Manchester City.

"Hello everyone, welcome to the famous Old Trafford Stadium. A focus match in the 32nd round of the Premier League is about to start here. The two sides are the two representative teams of Manchester: Manchester United and Manchester City..."

"...this game is of great significance to both Aguero and Yang Feng.

Aguero has scored 99 goals for Manchester City so far, as long as he scores another goal, he will become a member of Manchester City's [-]-goal club;
As for Yang Feng, although he has joined Manchester City for less than two full seasons, he has already passed the club's 139-goal mark. He has scored 43 goals for Manchester City in various competitions, including 20 goals in the Premier League last season. 16 goals, 17 goals in the Champions League, 43 goals in the Champions League this season, [-] goals in the Club World Cup, European Super Cup, Community Shield, etc., and the number of league goals has now reached [-] goals , Tied his own Premier League single-season scoring record created last season.

As long as there is another goal in this game, the Premier League scoring record will be refreshed, which is a full ten goals higher than the previous record of 34 goals last season..."

Since the last time they boycotted Yang Feng's farce, Manchester United fans were on the fence with Yang Feng.

There is only one requirement for the team in this game, the game can be lost, but Yang Feng must die!

"Death" is of course an expression of exasperation. Everyone knows that Manchester City's defending league title is the general trend, and it is a matter of seven or eight stable yards. However, it is almost certain that Yang Feng will break the Premier League scoring record, and even the five major league scoring records. Regarding the matter, the Red Devils fans just hope that this dog will not break the record on themselves.

Creating history on a mortal enemy is certainly a thrilling event for those who have left a name in history, but for the opponent, it is a shame that can be disgusted for a century...

In the locker room, of course Van Gaal couldn't say something like "the game can be lost", but he still had to take the trouble to emphasize the clichés like "Yang Feng must be stopped".

"I know it's difficult, but you have to do it no matter how hard it is! Don't let the fans down, don't let yourself down!" Van Gaal almost roared, "Listen to me, no player in the world is perfect , Pele is like this, Maradona is like this, Ronaldo is like this, Messi is like this, Yang Feng is like this! Go stop him, go beat them! Manchester can only have one king, anyone who wants to usurp the throne Let them all go to hell!"

"Go to hell!"

"GOAL! Fight!"

The young people yelled wildly, and the veterans also yelled a few words in line, and then entered the player tunnel, only to find that Manchester City's people had already lined up and waited to enter the field.

The two sides didn't communicate at all, and they rarely even met their eyes. However, Manchester United is not a player, so they still focused on Yang Feng.

In order to prepare for the Champions League three days later, both Silva and Kolarov were placed on the bench. In this game, Yang Feng once again wore the captain's armband.

If it weren't for the preparation to break the record and the opponent is a mortal enemy like Manchester United, one of him and Aguero should actually be rotated, but since the atmosphere is here, it would be a bit disgusting to let them sit on the bench People, Pellegrini can only take the risk of sending them together.

"This is the 169th Manchester derby. It is meaningless to discuss the historical record. Manchester United's task now is to delay Manchester City's pace of winning the championship and prevent Yang Feng and Aguero from breaking the record. What Manchester City needs is a quick decision. Not only must we win the game cleanly, it is best for both Yang Feng and Aguero to score early, and then try to conserve energy for the upcoming quarter-finals of the Champions League."

"The game has started, look at the starting lineups of both sides.

Manchester United 4-4-2.

Goalkeeper: 1-De Gea;
Defenders: 25-Valencia, 12-Smarling, 4-Phil Jones, 17-Blind;
Midfielder: 16-Carrick, 21-Herrera, 7-Di Maria, 18-Ashley Young;
Forwards: 10-Rooney, 9-Falcao.

Van Persie, who has been plagued by injuries this season, has returned, but he is still sitting on the bench in this game. Manchester City's defense is about to be tested by Rooney and Falcao. "

"The formations of the two sides are very similar. Manchester City also adopted a 4-4-2 formation with two midfielders, two front midfielders and two forwards. Goalkeeper: 13-Oblak;

Defenders: 5-Zabaleta, 6-Van Dijk, 26-Demichelis, 22-Clichy;
Midfielder: 25-Fernandinho, 30-Harvey Alonso, 8-Kroos, 17-De Bruyne;

Forwards: 16-Aguero, 9-Yang Feng.

This is not Manchester City's strongest lineup, because they still have Kanter and David Silva on the bench, but it has to be said that Manchester City's defense needs to be strengthened. In the central defender position, Although the combination of Kompany and Van Dijk is stable enough, when they are injured, only Demichelis, who is already in his 30s, is left as a pure central defender. Compared with their midfield, The configuration on the full-back is not satisfactory. If Manchester City has greater ambitions, they will have a lot of work to do this summer.

Okay, Yang Feng kicked the ball out, let's stop talking, let's get back to the game..."
