Chapter 1042 The end of 164 palms
"Look at Rong's ball, he jumps really high! It's like a flying Chinese! With Sol Campbell's height, Rong can be almost half a body taller than him... Who can defend against such a header?"

The glorious header just now was replayed over and over again on TV.

The quality of David Silva's cross is actually not very high, because all his strength was used to catch up with the football at that time. It is already very good to be able to kick the football out before it rolls out of the bottom line. It is impossible to pay attention to the accuracy and radian of the pass.

Also because of too much force, the height of the ball's flight is a bit high.

Such a ball was not originally a very suitable cross for a header in the middle.

But even so, Rong Guang still used his super bounce to make the impossible possible again.

There is an angle in the replay footage that restores all the actions of Rong Guang in the entire goal.

When Sneijder passed the ball to the baseline, Rong Guang was still in the middle circle, and then he started, and started to accelerate, accelerate, accelerate.

Straight to the goal.

Then when he stepped on the penalty area line, he jumped up suddenly and opened his arms, as if flying in the air.

What happened next is known to everyone.

"Why can Rong jump so high? Because his previous sprint speed was fast enough!"

"Do you know what this header reminds me of? I think of Michael Jordan's perfect dunk in the 1987 NBA slam dunk contest!" The commentator of ESPN in the United States immediately connected with basketball. "This action should be replayed ten times in slow motion. From different angles, it is simply a work of art!"

"I don't think Arsenal will be ashamed if they lose the game in the end. They have nothing to say to be defeated by such an excellent header!"

"This is Rong's No. 30 league goal this season! With more than two rounds left in the league, Rong Guang has scored 31 goals. He is now five goals ahead of the second-ranked Rooney! I think there is no suspense in the league's Golden Boot..." John Mortensen said.

The glory after the goal was quickly surrounded by Manchester City players.

Everyone patted his back excitedly.

In fact, they themselves knew that their respective states were not good before, and Manchester City's performance in this game was not as good as Arsenal's.But they don't want to lose the game just like that, no one wants to lose.But how to win?They can't help it.

At this time, Rong Guang stood up.

He will always save the team at this time.

Such a captain deserves everyone's trust and respect even if he is usually silent in the locker room, not to mention that he is also a good person in the locker room.

Despite his youth, no Manchester City player would heed the authority of his captain's armband.

※※※

When the first ball was conceded, Wenger looked up to the sky.Now that the second ball was conceded, Wenger looked down at the turf beneath his feet and said nothing.

In the face of such glory, what else can you say?
He can always win, even this kind of opportunity that is not an opportunity, he can put football into it...

Wenger sighed inwardly.

After losing this game, it depends on the result of Tottenham Hotspur's game.

If Tottenham also loses, then Arsenal still have a chance to keep fourth in the league.

Their round is an away game, and their opponent is Manchester United.Based on Wenger's understanding of the two teams, he believes that Tottenham Hotspur's chances of beating Manchester United away are not great.

Now that I think about it, it's really sad. The dignified Arsenal want to be ranked fourth in the league, and they still need to count on their rivals in the same city to lose...

※※※

In the end, no matter how hard Arsenal tried, they failed to beat Manchester City on their home court.The leading Manchester City then played a shrinking defense and used all their strength in defense.Benitez replaced Sturridge and David Silva, leaving a glory in the attacking end.

Just one glory is enough to make Arsenal dare not press the whole line when attacking.

There is no need for additional manpower at all.Others can concentrate on defense.

So although Benitez may not be as good as Mourinho in the ability to place a bus in front of the goal, Manchester City's defense is still good, and this is also because they have invested more troops in defense.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Manchester City beat Arsenal 2-1 away.

They got the crucial three points on the way to the league championship.

Chelsea swept Stoke City 7-0 in the same match.

But such a score is more like Chelsea venting their anger.Such a victory cannot help Chelsea narrow the distance between them and Manchester City, which is meaningless.

With two rounds remaining in the league, Manchester City leads Chelsea by four points.

As long as Manchester City beat Aston Villa at home in the next game, they will win the league championship trophy one round ahead of schedule.

If they lose or draw, then Chelsea still have a chance to reverse Manchester City in the final round.

※※※

In the league, it is only a short distance away from the championship. In the Champions League, they lost 1:3 in the first round of the semi-finals.

It is now clear where City's center of gravity lies.

Whether it is the players or the coaching staff, they will definitely pay more attention to the league.

So the next match between Manchester City and Inter Milan at home is actually not that important.

It would be great if Manchester City can reverse Inter Milan, but if not, no one will blame Manchester City's players for their poor performance or something.

Because Manchester City's performance in the Champions League this season is enough to make people feel happy.

What they desire more now is the league championship.

After a lapse of 42 years, they have the first chance to win England's top league championship!

Compared with the Champions League, this is more realistic and easier to obtain.

And what about the Champions League?

Even if you can make it to the finals, so what, you may not be able to win the championship...

Under such circumstances, perhaps only Rong Guang did not give up.

In an interview with reporters, he said that Manchester City still has a chance to reverse Inter Milan at home: "We have an away goal, so it must be too early to say what the result is."

He said so, and he did so.

On Wednesday, Manchester City welcomed Inter Milan at their home stadium.

Unlike last week when Manchester City took a bus to Milan to play an away game, this time, Inter Milan came by plane, and there was no such thing as a bumpy journey.

The eruption of the volcano in Iceland has been suspended, the sky over the European continent has also been opened, and civil airlines have resumed flying. Naturally, Inter Milan does not have to endure the hardships of the journey like Manchester City.

From this point of view, it seems that God can no longer look down on Manchester City's dark horse performance in the Champions League this season.

Otherwise, why didn't the Icelandic volcano erupt sooner or later when Manchester City needed to play an away game?

In this game, Mourinho ranked Inter Milan's strongest lineup in the game.

However, Manchester City is still suffering from injuries and red and yellow card suspensions, and the main lineup is slightly incomplete.

Even so, after the start of the game, Manchester City still took the initiative in the game under the leadership of Rong Guang.

And at No. 304 minutes, David Silva scored a goal assisted by Glory.

Manchester City took the lead.

"1:0! David Silva! The total score is 2:3 to Manchester City, only one goal behind! If Manchester City can score another goal and tie the total score to 3:3, then Manchester City has a chance to eliminate Inter Milan!" The commentator John Mortensen shouted excitedly, and he seemed to see hope.

"Although David Silva scored the goal, the credit must go to Rong. Before passing the ball to David Silva, Rong completely disrupted Inter Milan's defense through a series of outstanding individual performances..."

After David Silva scored, he still wanted to celebrate the goal, but as soon as he turned around, he saw that Rong Guang had rushed into the goal, snatched the football from goalkeeper Julio Cesar, and ran to the center circle.

So he stopped celebrating and ran to the middle circle with Rong Guang.

Now we are only one goal behind!Just one more goal and we can knock out Inter Milan and reach the final of the Champions League!

Although everyone's minds were more or less inclined to the league before the game, but if it is really possible to reach the Champions League final, who would refuse?

The Manchester City fans in the stands also sang loudly, cheering for the Manchester City team.

Seeing this, Benitez also temporarily adjusted his strategy, allowing Manchester City to change from a defensive counterattack to an offensive.

Although there is also the possibility of being counterattacked by Inter Milan and conceding the ball, but... Manchester City actually has nothing to lose in this game.

Benitez was ready to give up the Champions League from the beginning.So now he has a good mentality and is very relaxed.

If doing so gets City into the final, that's fine.

But if he fails to qualify, Benitez will not feel that he has lost anything.

However, after Manchester City's full attack, the goal will not be the first to find them every time, and it may be the goal that finds them...

This time, Inter Milan used Manchester City's full attack to play a classic defensive counterattack, and then Diego Milito scored a crucial goal!
He rewrote the total score to 4:2!

Inter Milan continues to lead Manchester City by two goals.

After a brief silence at Manchester City Stadium, Manchester City fans cheered for the team again.

At this time, Manchester City is also more open-minded. They simply don't defend and attack with all their strength.

Anyway, losing two goals is still losing, losing three goals is still losing, it is better to fight.

Facing Manchester City's full attack, Mourinho finally had the opportunity to display his ability to place a bus in front of the goal.

He ordered Inter Milan to return to the defense across the board and defend the advantage of these two goals.

And because of Sneijder's absence, Manchester City's ability to play positional warfare has dropped a lot.Rong Guang has to be both an offensive organizer and an offensive finisher by himself. Not to mention it is very hard work, and the effect is not very good.

Naturally, Sturridge's ability on the front line cannot be compared with the injured Berbatov.

So in fact, Manchester City's offensive power is far less powerful than before. This is why Mourinho rushed to shrink the defense at Manchester City's home court and let Manchester City besiege.

Manchester City besieged Inter Milan for most of the game, and it was not until the No.808 minute that Rong Guang took advantage of a direct free kick to score again.

This is Rongguang's No.15 goal in the UEFA Champions League this season, but it is also likely to be his last goal...

This goal came too late for Manchester City.

City had to score another goal with the remainder of the time to be able to send the game into extra time.

But for this exhausted team, even overtime, I'm afraid it's just a delay of 10 minutes to death.

Although the referee gave Manchester City 5 minutes of stoppage time, even though the stoppage time made Inter Milan's referee Mourinho very dissatisfied.

But that didn't help City put the ball in Inter's goal again in the final minutes.

When the referee blew the end of the game, the score was fixed at 2:1.

Manchester City were knocked out 3-4 on aggregate...
