Chapter 1008 Possibility of collapse?
The media in London have already said bluntly that the time when Manchester City and Barcelona were inseparable was an excellent opportunity for Chelsea to complete the overtake.

Such an opportunity is rare.Once Manchester City is eliminated by Barcelona and returns to the Premier League, they will not have the problem of two-line combat.

By that time, if Chelsea are still second in the league, it may be difficult to overtake them.

However, it is not their decision that Chelsea overtake Manchester City. Of course Chelsea wants to win, but they also have to look at Manchester City's face while winning.

Chelsea's overtake of Manchester City was mainly done by Manchester City themselves.

I just hope that Manchester City will lose the rhythm when fighting on two lines and lose the game...

At that time, it will be empty to fetch water with a bamboo basket.

In fact, the best choice for Manchester City now should be to abandon one side and keep the other side.

Needless to say who to abandon?
Definitely the Champions League.

Manchester City participated in the UEFA Champions League for the first time in 40 years. Do you still expect to reach the final and win the championship?
This is of course unrealistic. Anyway, facing such a strong opponent as Barcelona in the Champions League, Manchester City might as well take the opportunity to step up and give up this game strategically.

Then concentrate on dealing with rivals Chelsea in the league.

Even some Manchester media and Manchester City fans think so.

To be more realistic, it is meaningless to fight against Barcelona. What if you eliminate Barcelona?In the Champions League, which team is easy to deal with?
The tone reached the end of the bamboo basket to fetch water in vain, so why not abandon the car to protect the handsome.

But Benitez has no intention of doing this. As a head coach who wants to lead the team to the championship, if he thinks about surrendering before encountering a strong enemy, then surrendering will become a habit.

In this way, how can you lead the team to win the championship?

What's more, after seeing the team's morale so high, Benitez couldn't make a strategic plan to give up the Champions League.

He knew that the media's analysis was correct, and intellectually speaking, that was the most perfect solution.

But there has never been a perfect thing in this world, and football can't just rely on reason to make decisions.

If everything depends on rationality to make the perfect choice, then how boring this world would be...

※※※

As soon as the lottery results came out, the whole of Europe, and even the whole world, were paying attention.

Manchester City meets Barcelona, ​​this game is exciting.

More than two years ago, there were scandals between Rongguang and Barcelona. At that time, media reports were very frequent, each with a firm tone, saying that Rongguang would leave Bayern Munich after the end of the 2007-2008 season and join Barcelona.

There are gossip that the two parties even initialed the contract.

Since then, Barcelona fans have been looking forward to glory to form the most terrifying attacking combination in the world with Messi and Ronaldinho.

Fans of other teams around the world don't want this to happen.

In the end, the majority wins.

Rongguang was seriously injured, Barcelona did not recognize any agreement between them and Rongguang, and the transfer negotiations were suspended.

Rong Guang did not go to Barcelona, ​​he chose Manchester City after returning from injury.

Later, Ronaldinho also transferred to AC Milan.

The most terrifying attacking combination in the world only exists in everyone's imagination or in football games, and has never become a reality.

Now, in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Manchester City and Barcelona meet. This is also the reunion between Rongguang and Barcelona after that serious injury.

Once missed, what sparks will be stirred up now?

Messi, who is already Barcelona's number one star, expressed his welcome to the result of the draw in an interview.

"...I am very happy to compete with Rong at such a high level. I will give my all!"

The good relationship between Messi and Rongguang, after tireless media publicity, is now known to the whole world.

It's like they all know that the relationship between Rongguang and Kaka is not good.

When Ronaldinho was still there, he was Barcelona's well-deserved number one star.Messi is a rookie who needs to be taken care of by Ronaldinho.

But now he no longer needs to be under anyone's wing. He is already one of the best players in football today. In the eyes of many people, he may not even need "one".

Some people even think that as long as Messi leads Argentina to win a World Cup, he will be recognized as the third football champion!
He can be regarded as the newly promoted No.1 in the world after Rong Guang was injured.

There are still people who are still sighing. If Rongguang hadn't been injured at the beginning, maybe there would be nothing wrong with Messi now.

But the world is impermanent, and Rong Guang's serious injury gave two young players a chance to rise quickly, one is Cristiano Ronaldo and the other is Messi.

Of course, life cannot be assumed, and there are no ifs in football.

So everyone doesn't know what the football world would be like if Rong Guang hadn't been injured.

But at least now they have a chance to witness the answer to this question from another angle.

After recovering from a serious injury, Rong Guang quickly returned to his pre-injury state, or better than before the injury.

And what about Messi?It has also been on the rise.

Now that the two best players in the world meet, what will they do?
Really looking forward to it.

Moreover, who is stronger between the two of them?If Rongguang was not injured, would Messi be able to beat him to the top, just like Rongguang defeated Kaka in the first place.

Manchester City and Barcelona didn't have any grudges before, so if the two teams meet, there is basically no gimmick to hype.

But now with Rongguang and Messi, just the duel between these two people is enough to arouse everyone's interest.

In Manchester City, glory is the well-deserved core, while in Barcelona, ​​the whole team serves Messi.

Everyone says that some players have the ability to change the outcome of a game alone.It is now recognized that Messi and Rongguang are such players.

So in such crucial two games, can the two of them turn the tide and rewrite the result of the game alone?
Everyone is looking forward to these two games.

There are even media conspiracy theories that the result of the draw must have been designed by UEFA, just to create a strong dialogue like sparks hitting the earth.

Look at how many people around the world are discussing and looking forward to the results of this match. The faces of those sponsors are probably going to die from laughter...

※※※

Although everyone is looking forward to this game, there are still three league games to play before this game.

On March 21, Manchester City challenged Fulham away, which was the No.30 round of the league.

On March 24, Manchester City played against Everton at home, which was a make-up match in the second round of the league.

On March 29, Manchester City played against Wigan Athletic at home, the No.30 second round of the league.

Chelsea will also pay close attention to these three games, because whether Manchester City will collapse, some clues should be able to be seen from these three games.

Manchester City is also very concerned about the league, not to say that their minds are all in the Champions League.

After the results of the draw and the specific schedule came out, Manchester City applied to the Premier League, hoping to postpone the second round of No.30 against Wigan Athletic.Because on April [-], Manchester City will face Barcelona at home.

On the night of April [-]rd, Manchester City will challenge league rivals Burnley in an away game.

On April [-]th, in the middle of next week after finishing the league, Manchester City will travel to Barcelona, ​​Spain to play the second round of the Champions League quarter-finals.

After the game, on April 30th, Manchester City returned home to face Birmingham.At this time, it was already the No. [-] fourth round of the league.There are only four rounds left until the end of the league.

Moreover, playing seven games in 21 days from the 22st to April [-]th puts too much physical demands on the team.

However, the Premier League did not approve Manchester City's request.

Their reason is that Manchester City's second round of the league has been postponed until now, and the No.30 second round will be postponed again, and there is no suitable match day for them.

After all, with the end of the league, time is scarce.Moreover, after the end of this season, there will be the World Cup. All national teams must train one month in advance. The league time of this season will be shortened by at least one month compared with the usual season.

It is really impossible to squeeze out time to go out and arrange a day for Manchester City to play a make-up match.

However, considering the actual situation of Manchester City, they are willing to mention Manchester City's No.30 second round of the league to the first game of this round, which is to play on the night of March 27.

In this way, before the game on April [-], Manchester City has at least four days of rest, which should be enough.After all, the three to four days between the league and the Champions League is the standard treatment for all teams participating in the Champions League. Other teams can afford it. Why can't Manchester City afford it?

Of course Manchester City is dissatisfied with this decision of the Premier League, but what can they do if they don't accept it?

What the Premier League is talking about is also the actual situation, and what Manchester City is facing is also the actual situation.

Moreover, the Premier League has advanced Manchester City's game time. At any rate, they did not let them finish the league and only take two days off to face the mighty Barcelona.

So no matter how dissatisfied Manchester City is, they have no choice but to accept this arrangement.

In this way, in the next 22 days, there will be seven games, with an average of only a little more than three days of rest between each game.

At the end of the season, this is a huge test for the physical fitness of the Manchester City team.

At the same time, this is exactly the "crash time" for Manchester City that Chelsea is waiting for.

At that time, continuous games and the desire for results will eventually lead to Manchester City's physical collapse and player injuries...

Once Chelsea overtake, they will never give up the top position in the league again!At that time, there are still four rounds left in the league, and Ancelotti is confident that Chelsea will maintain a complete victory!That way you don't need to look at anyone's face anymore!
"...For Benitez's team, the next half month will determine the final result of his hard work throughout the season. Will he win the league championship or fail?"

"Manchester Evening News" commented so after the schedule was confirmed.

Manchester City seems to have been leading this season, but in fact there are also hidden murderous intentions.

Now Manchester City fans are the most tangled.

At the beginning, they wanted the team to qualify from the group stage, but now they feel that it may not be a good thing if they go too far in the Champions League.
