Chapter 189 Save the suspense for the championship battle
When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the Everton players were as excited as if they had won the championship.

There is no doubt that Manchester United is the most powerful team in the league. Being able to win at Manchester United's home court is something that no team has been able to do, but Everton has done it. Everton had reason to celebrate their victory.

Ancelotti is more regretful. He thought he could take advantage of this game to widen the distance between Chelsea and Chelsea, but he didn't expect that he also overturned at home...
"Everton played a perfect game, we had a bad game, especially defensively, and offensively we had Roberts who was in full form and we had at least three or four must-gos. The ball was saved by him, he is an excellent goalkeeper. Fortunately, Chelsea also lost this round of the league. Now is the critical period of the league title. Every three points is very important." Ancelotti said calmly at the press conference after the game.

Losing does make Manchester United feel uncomfortable, but in a long season, losing is always inevitable. Losing to Everton is fine. If it is lost to an opponent who is directly competing for the championship, then Manchester United will be in trouble Already...

"I have to admit I celebrated with my arms up in my living room after Manchester United lost"

Manchester United lost, so someone will naturally go to interview Conte. In this round of the league, the two top two teams in the standings lost one after another, which made the championship competition more intense.

"We have good luck and hope that this good luck can continue until the end of the season. All games are very important, but the key to the season will appear in our direct dialogue with Manchester United!" Conte emphasized.

And because the top two in the standings have lost points one after another, Manchester City, now ranked No.3, finally has the opportunity to close the gap between the two sides.

In this round of the league, Manchester City played away against Arsenal. With Aguero's lore in No. 90 minutes, Manchester City defeated Arsenal [-]-[-] and won a key game. With these three points, Manchester City approached the draw. The gap between the top two in the standings, Manchester City is now three points behind Chelsea and six points behind Manchester United. With six or seven rounds left in the league, the overturn of the top two in the standings seems to give Manchester City the hope of competing for the championship.

Especially in the No.30 second round of the league, Manchester City played against Chelsea at home! !

This game is quite crucial for both sides. If Manchester City wins Chelsea at home, they are likely to overtake Chelsea and come to the second position in the standings, especially in the No.30 round. Manchester United and Chelsea will start the top battle again .

"We must first be ourselves and play our game well. Chelsea is a very difficult team. It is not easy to win them at home." low key.

……

On April 4, at the Etihad Stadium, Manchester City played against Chelsea at home.This round of league matches for Manchester United starts on April 8, and they are going to an away game against Sunderland.

The game hadn't even started yet, and the televised footage found Ancelotti who came to the stadium to watch the game.

There were boos in the stadium, and Manchester City fans would not be polite to Manchester United's coach.

In fact, in another box, several Manchester United players also came to the stadium, but the cameras on the scene hadn't had time to spot them.

It is still new for Li Qingshan to come to watch the match at the rival's home court, but although this game is Manchester City facing Chelsea at home, for Manchester United, this direct dialogue between the second in the league and the third in the league is very difficult. To a large extent, it will also affect the championship pattern of the league.

Therefore, Manchester United players are also very concerned about this game.

Once Chelsea loses, Chelsea will fall into an absolute disadvantage in the competition in the league, and once Manchester United wins Chelsea at home, then Manchester United has basically embraced the Premier League champion this season.

At the beginning of the game, Manchester City was aggressive. Guardiola's team was full of momentum at home. Amid the cheers and cheers from the home fans, Manchester City once formed a siege against Chelsea.

But it was Chelsea who scored first.

In the 203rd minute of the game, Hazard seized a chance to counterattack. After cutting in from the wing, he shot a curved ball from the edge of the penalty area. The main ball bypassed Manchester City's defenders in the penalty area and flew into the net from a dead corner. .

And when Chelsea took the lead, the rhythm of the game was completely controlled by Chelsea. Although Manchester City controlled most of the possession, Chelsea's defense was in place and Manchester City failed to create many opportunities.

In the next game, Manchester City attacked for almost 10 minutes, but they still failed to score.

The result of the final game was zero to one, Manchester City lost to Chelsea at home.

Guardiola touched his smooth forehead with his hands, and the depression on his face was clearly visible.

Once this game was lost, Manchester City basically announced that they had withdrawn from the championship competition...

Conte breathed a sigh of relief. He straightened his suit jacket and walked to Guardiola. After the two coaches shook hands, Conte turned and walked into the player tunnel...

At the end of the TV broadcast, he wanted to find Ancelotti again, but the Manchester United coach had already left.

Ancelotti hopes that Manchester City will win, but he will not say this, because he is the head coach of Manchester United, and it is impossible to support the rivals in the same city anyway.But it is undeniable that Manchester City's win is the most beneficial to Manchester United, because in this case, as long as Manchester United wins this round of opponents Sunderland, Manchester United will lead Chelsea by six points, although Manchester City also narrowed the points gap to six points , but with a few rounds left in the league, it is basically impossible for Manchester United to lose the league championship trophy!

.....
April 4, Sunderland, Stadium of Light.Sunderland host Manchester United.

This is an afternoon game, and the sun slantly shines in from the roof of the stadium, forming a "yin and yang field" in the stadium that is half sunny and half shaded.

De Gea stood on the sunny side in the first half, and the afternoon sun pierced his eyes obliquely, forcing De Gea to squint his eyes, and sometimes he had to build a pergola with his hands.

In this case, the interference of sunlight on the goalkeeper is very serious.

Fortunately, Mata came back in time for this game, and Di Maria also sat on the bench.United were firmly in control of possession from the start.

Before the start of the game, Manchester United's coaching team anticipated the possibility of a "yin and yang field", so they also made plans for this situation in the first half.

In the first half, Manchester United firmly controlled the ball and pushed the front line to the Sunderland half. If there is no good opportunity, they will definitely not easily try a risky pass.

In order to maintain possession, even Li Qingshan returned to the midfield to participate in the pass.

The purpose of doing this is naturally to prevent Sunderland from taking the ball to attack. In the first half, Sunderland had its back to the sun, while Manchester United's defense had to be carried out against the sun.When the line of sight is disturbed, unexpected situations are prone to occur, so Manchester United took the initiative to defend in the first half-they controlled the ball, so Sunderland naturally had no chance to attack.

The score was zero to zero in the first half.

In the second half, Manchester United began to exert force on the offensive end.

In the 605th minute of the game, Li Qingshan turned around in the penalty area and then shot with his toe. The main ball went into the goal from between the goalkeeper's legs.

In the 708th minute of the game, Mata took advantage of a free kick from the right side of the penalty area, and scored a direct free kick with his left foot, helping Manchester United to seal the victory!

Manchester United defeated Sunderland [-]-[-] away and continued to maintain a three-point gap with Chelsea.

In the next round of the league, Manchester United will face Chelsea at home. This will be a real championship battle!
