Chapter 185
On the plane flying to Manchester Airport in England, a large group of stalwart players are taking a nap one by one. The players who failed to play are also sitting quietly at this time, either reading books or listening to songs. The only thing that is the same is No sound came out.

Everyone is very quiet.

Su Bai also closed his eyes, still thinking about the game just completed, Manchester City's first Champions League knockout match they still won very steadily, relying on Kaka's world wave, they won the away game 0:1 The victory of the game.

In the two rounds of the match, Manchester City had a good advantage, scored away goals, and won the game. When they return to home in the next round, as long as they draw, they will be able to advance to the next round of knockout rounds.

Manchester City is still very confident. At their home court, with the support of the fans, Su Bai believes that as long as there are no accidents, winning the game is certain.

"It's just one goal. We are not safe. Milan only needs one goal to equalize us. Therefore, it is too early to say that we will advance to the next round. It is not certain who will win?"

When interviewed by the reporters after the game, Su Bai was very modest. Naturally, he would not tell them what was going on in his heart.

Su Bai wasn't overly happy at the moment. Winning Milan was definitely something to be happy about, but the price seemed a bit high. Seeing the starting main players fall asleep as soon as they got on the plane, the players were definitely very tired.

The high-intensity game went on for the whole game, even Su Bai stood on the sidelines and felt psychologically shocked, but the players who had been running on the field for so long suffered even more physical and psychological shocks.

At this time, there was a drawback in Manchester City's lineup.Young players are too young and don't know how to arrange their physical fitness during the game. The whole court is running at full speed, such as Bell, Milner, Rakitic and others.Players like Cambiasso, Cahill, and Kaka who are at their peak have played too many games, and they more or less know how to accelerate or decelerate safely on the court, and their physical fitness is not bad.

As soon as he got off the plane, Su Bai heard the news that Wenger won Barcelona again at home. Although Villa scored a goal for Barcelona first, but with the goals of Van Persie and Arshavin in the last 10 minutes, Arsenal At home, they defeated Barcelona 2:1 and achieved their first victory.

Such a result also makes people feel strange. With the current strength of Barcelona, ​​​​except for Manchester City who can compete with them, other teams do not seem to be their opponents.

Arsenal actually produced the same results as last season, winning Barcelona in the first round. I don't know if Arsenal's state is overwhelmed, or Barcelona is a bit embarrassing.

Last year, they lost to Arsenal at home first, and then went to the Emirates Stadium. Messi staged a big four and defeated Arsenal by himself. Will Barcelona do it again this season?

However, Manchester City and Arsenal, who took the lead in playing, both won the Premier League. It is very happy for the fans of the Premier League. They have always confidently said that the Premier League is the world's largest league.

Everyone knows what the urine on Fleet Street is like, and European countries know it. However, since 2000, although the Premier League teams have not won many championships, their performance in the Champions League is indeed amazing.

Manchester City defeated the old strong team Milan, and Arsenal even won the current king Barcelona. The British media habitually praised the sky and blown out the universe.

The fans are happy to watch it, and the traffic is selling well, but the team's head coach just watches it for fun and doesn't take it seriously.

On the last day of February, more than a week had passed since the last Champions League game, Su Bai asked the team to train their physical fitness well, because the upcoming games were also very intensive, but the situation was somewhat wrong.

First, on the 28th day, in the 28th round of the Premier League, Manchester City actually lost at home to the bottom team Fulham. The score of 0:1 was maintained until the end of the game.

From the beginning of the first half of the game, Su Bai could tell that there was something wrong with the players' mentality. Tich, Lewandowski, or Kaka, Milner, Cambiasso, their performance on the court can be called a disaster level.

At the beginning of the second half, Su Bai replaced David Silva, Royce, and Van Nistelrooy, but it didn't help much. They were also infected by the atmosphere on the field and lost their spirit immediately after playing.

Manchester City unexpectedly lost to Fulham, breaking the biggest upset of this round of the Premier League. Of course, Arsenal, which has a European mission, also tied Tottenham, while Manchester United and Chelsea won their opponents respectively.

Losing a league game does not have much impact on Manchester City's league points. They had too many points ahead of their opponents before, so there is no problem with losing a game.And the media didn't pay too much attention to Manchester City's loss. When the tigers dozed off, Manchester City's loss to Fulham could only be said to be luck.

Su Bai didn't pay much attention at first. At this time, the players had two months left before the end of the season. He thought it was just a game problem. Give the players some time and they would adjust themselves.

Entering March, Manchester City lost their first game. In the fifth round of the FA Cup on the 3rd, it was still at home. They lost 1:3 to Aston Villa, an old rival, but their head coach did not O'Neill again.

After losing two games in a row, the FA Cup was also eliminated. Now, the media and fans believe that Su Bai wanted to shift his attention to the league and the Champions League, and gave up the FA Cup.

Fans can accept the team's choice.

Only Manchester City's coaching staff knows that it's not that they want to give up the FA Cup, but that they really can't beat the opponent. Although Su Bai's players are all substitute players, in terms of strength, they are still stronger than Villa, but They did not lose, and the most important thing is not to lose, the process of the game is even more eye-catching.

In the second minute of the game, Johnson deliberately handballed in the penalty area. Not only was he sent off, he was also awarded a penalty kick. Romero couldn't block the opponent's shot. In just 2 minutes, Manchester City conceded the ball.

Manchester City, who played one less player, still confronted Villa at the request of Su Bai. At the beginning, Manchester City still had an advantage. In the 10th minute, Joe Cole received a pass from Ruud van Nistelrooy to equalize the score.

The change was in the 40th minute. At that time, Wright rushed down from the left with the ball and was knocked down by the opposite midfielder No. [-] Nzobia. He really wanted to foul. The foot was raised too high and it landed on Wright Jr.'s knee.

Fernandinho who happened to be nearby didn't even think about it. He punched Nzobia in the face who had just stood up. The punch was very firm. The latter naturally wanted to fight back, but Fernandinho Dinho didn't hesitate, so he was going to do it.

Fortunately, the players from both sides had already come over to pull them away, otherwise a real-life PK would really be staged.

The referee was very generous, two red cards came out, and Wright Jr. couldn't hold on, so Su Bai had to ask someone to substitute him on the field.

Before the end of the first half, there were only 9 players left in Manchester City, and the media were already like sharks smelling blood, pounced from all over the UK.

 The title is on a losing streak, and I can’t change it even after changing it several times
