Chapter 1282 A Different Chelsea

Rong Guang's words certainly caused an uproar in Madrid, Spain.

Because Rong Guang is simply stabbing Real Madrid's wounds, reopening the scabbed wounds, and then sprinkle some salt, cumin, chili powder, pepper, etc. on the bloody wounds.

That sourness... I won't mention it.

Real Madrid fans were already unhappy with Rongguang. Rongguang had a deep relationship with Real Madrid, and now he took the initiative to find trouble, which made Real Madrid fans even more upset.

And this time Real Madrid fans have to be confident.

When Real Madrid faced Manchester City last season, they were still suppressed by Barcelona in the domestic league, and they lost 0:5 away to Barcelona in the first round of the national derby, which made them feel a little embarrassed.

But now it is different, Mourinho seems to prove that the second season of the team he coaches will always be stronger than the first season.

Now in La Liga, the league has played 27 rounds, and Real Madrid has 24 wins, one draw and two losses, with 73 points, ranking first.

And what about Barcelona?Although ranked second, with 63 points, it is a full ten points behind.With [-] rounds left in the league, this point difference means that it will be difficult for Barcelona to reverse Real Madrid to win the championship.

Under such circumstances, Real Madrid fans certainly have the confidence to find Manchester City and Rongguang revenge in the Champions League.

So although the match hadn't even started yet, the scolding battle between the two sides had already been kicked up by Rong Guang.

The "Marca" and "Aspen" newspapers attacked Rongguang's impoliteness and lack of manners at length, and inherited the "collapse theory" from the English media, saying that Manchester City will kill themselves sooner or later with such a dense game.

In this regard, the English media is unwilling-yes, we are the ones who raised the "collapse theory", but what we are talking about is the collapse of the domestic league. This is our civil war. How we fight the civil war is our own business. It is your turn to point fingers?

What is the Champions League?
The Champions League is a foreign war!Manchester City played well in the Champions League and can secure four Champions League places in the Premier League. This is a good thing for the entire Premier League.

In the Champions League, you still want to use the "collapse theory" to badmouth Manchester City?Then we absolutely can't bear it!
So before Manchester City had anything to do with it, the English media began to tear up with the Spanish media.

Everyone was tearing up so lively that people had an illusion that the next game would be a duel between these two teams.

But it's not.

City's next match is the FA Cup quarter-final, with City taking on Stoke City.

In this game, Benitez still did not send all the main players.

Although the media is blackmailing Manchester City, what they say is also reasonable. With such intensive competitions, Manchester City’s physical reserves may not be able to keep up in the end. Therefore, it is necessary to plan ahead now. In addition to increasing the content and amount of physical training in training, it is to completely rotate during the game.

In the FA Cup match against Stoke City, he did not intend to let all the main players of the team play.

It's not that he intends to give up the FA Cup, but that he thinks he can win Stoke City without all the main players.

As long as there are key people there.

And the next game is the league match against Chelsea, which is a very important game, and the main players will definitely be on the field at that time.

In the end, Manchester City, who played on the bench, defeated Stoke City 2:1 at home, shattering the opponent's idea of ​​revenge.

After knocking out Stoke City, Manchester City reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup.

Their opponent will be Everton.

On March 22, in the ninth round of No.20 in the league, Manchester City ushered in Chelsea at home.

The league has played 28 rounds. Chelsea now has 49 points and ranks fifth. No. 4 is the "Fighting Four" Arsenal, who have 52 points.

So if Chelsea want to finish in the top four, they have to win this game.With few league rounds left, three points in every game is very important for Chelsea.

Chelsea did not perform well in the league this season.

They also stumbled in the Champions League.

In the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals, Chelsea challenged Naples away.

Naples has not participated in the Champions League for many years. They were not expected to return to the Champions League this time, but they were killed out of the group. When facing Chelsea, many people still think that Chelsea has drawn a good lottery.

As a result, in the first round, Naples beat Chelsea 3:1 at home!
The failure of this game also directly led to Boas' dismissal.

After losing to Manchester City in the league, many people once thought that Boas's days at Stamford Bridge were over, but Abramovich showed patience beyond imagination this time, and he did not fire Boas at that time.

Facts have proved that although Abramovich always fired the head coach impatiently, this time his unexpected patience was wrong...

Chelsea under the leadership of Villas-Boas did not show any signs of rebounding in the league. In the Champions League, they also lost away to Naples.

Abramovich finally understood this time-on Boas, it is not the time to show his patience!
So he fired Boas, and assistant coach Di Matteo became the team's interim head coach.

After Di Matteo led the team, there was a big reversal at home, beating Naples 3:1!Dragging the game into overtime, Chelsea scored another goal in overtime, and finally eliminated Naples with a total score of 5:4 and advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

In the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Chelsea's opponent is Benfica, which is not a very strong team. Chelsea is very hopeful to break into the semi-finals of the Champions League again.

But at the same time, Di Matteo has no intention of giving up the domestic league.

What if you are eliminated from the Champions League and still want to participate in the Champions League?Then you can only get the top four in the league.

Anyway, after this game, there will be no UEFA Champions League game in the middle of next week, so Chelsea don't need to stay focused, they can go all out in this game.

So Chelsea challenged Manchester City with all their main force.

※※※

The first half of the two teams was very tangled, and neither of them scored.

After the start of the second half, it was still the same. The fight was fierce, and there were several yellow cards, but the goal was delayed.

Until No. 60 minutes, central defender Cahill headed away Manchester City's goal for Chelsea in a corner kick!

1: 0!

Chelsea in the away game are ahead!
"Cahill! Chelsea are leading! They are leading away!!"

"The two sides fought hard in this game, and there were almost no chances of a good shot... But Chelsea seized the opportunity of a set kick and scored! There are 10 minutes left in the game, Manchester City must work harder... Otherwise, they might lose to Chelsea at home." Alan Hansen said this because Chelsea played very tough in today's game. Their toughness is simply the nemesis for the tired Manchester City.

After all, after Matuidi was injured, none of the Manchester City players wanted to be injured again in the game. That would affect the team's performance, but would make them miss many important games. There is also the European Cup this summer. If they are injured at this time and cannot participate in the European Cup, it will be a big loss.

Even non-European international players still have to participate in the World Cup qualifiers in their respective continents.

It was Di Matteo who captured the mentality of Manchester City players, which made Chelsea very tough in the game.

His toughness also yielded good results. Before 10 minutes, Manchester City failed to score a goal, and Chelsea scored a goal in 10 minutes.

If Chelsea continues to be so tough after scoring the goal, it will indeed give Manchester City a headache.

So a full 10 minutes had passed since Chelsea scored, and Manchester City hadn't scored yet.

This is relatively rare in Manchester City's game.It is not that Manchester City have not conceded the ball in the game, or are behind.

But they often equalize the score soon after conceding the ball, 2 minutes, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 6 minutes.

It's as if goals from the opposition only irritate them, making them even crazier and unstoppable after conceding the ball.

It's really rare that 10 minutes go by without an equalizer like today.

Chelsea's tough style of play made Manchester City's players very uncomfortable, and they naturally couldn't play well.

Another 5 minutes passed, and it was 15 minutes after Manchester City conceded the goal, but the score on the field still remained unchanged, still 0:1, Manchester City at home was behind.

"It's 75 minutes into the game, and Manchester City hasn't been able to tie the score yet... I think it's pretty good if Manchester City can tie the score in this game... If it doesn't work, it's entirely possible for them to lose this game!"

Alan Hansen said.

That's probably what those who are badmouthing Manchester City want to hear the most right now.

If Chelsea can defeat Manchester City and end Manchester City's unbeaten record in the league that continues to this day, then no matter how many times they lose to Manchester City, they can now be written off!
