Chapter 27 Standings

After 31 rounds of the Premier League, Manchester City, which has won three consecutive victories, has 39 points and ranks 13th.In front of them is Newcastle, who lost to them this round.

Blackburn, ranked tenth, lost this round and kept the points at 46 points.

Then, in the relegation zone, there was still chaos and chaos.

After losing to Manchester City, Wigan has won two consecutive victories and left the relegation zone.

Coincidentally, Middlesbrough, who lost to Manchester City in the last game, actually won this round!
Where there is promotion, there is decline, and Charlton was squeezed to 17th in the league, only one step away from entering the relegation zone.

More coincidentally, Charlton is Manchester City's opponent in the 32nd round.

Seeing the matchup, the media exclaimed that Duncan was so lucky that he met teams from the second half in four consecutive rounds.This makes Manchester City's winning streak look full of moisture.

Even Newcastle, the strongest, is not strong enough.

Two days after the end of the game, news came from the Newcastle club: Newcastle officially announced that the head coach Rhodes will leave get out of class, and the assistant coach will take up his duties temporarily until the end of the season.

Although it was not stated clearly, everyone knew that the defeat against Manchester City was the trigger for Rhodes to be dismissed from get out of class.

There are still three days before the match against Charlton, Manchester City's training base, and the team is fighting in groups.

In today's training, Cordella seemed very active, frequently raising his hand to ask for the ball.

And he's in really good form, kicking his head and kicking his head, and he has already scored four goals.

He couldn't be upset that in the morning, he saw Andy Cole walk into the therapy room.Then in the daily training, Andy Cole simply didn't show up.

What does this mean?
Andy Cole is injured, here's his chance!

As long as I start, even in one game, I can regain the main position.

Cordeira swore to himself.

Two days later, against Charlton, Cordeira did make an appearance.

But he came on as a substitute for Andy Cole in the 85th minute.

At this time, the score was already 2:0, and the opponent had already been sent off by a red card.

Victory is decided!

Sending Cordella to the stage at this time must be for a soy sauce.

Of course, Andy Cole couldn't hold on, that's also a reason.After the end, he immediately put an ice pack on his leg.

The soy saucer Cordella, with the mentality of not being a soy saucer, went up and prepared to score a goal.

But Duncan's order made him lose in an instant.

"You go up, just do a good job of defense."

It's that simple, don't let Cordella attack.

Cordeira was about to cry, but she wanted to show off, but she was discouraged all of a sudden.

In the end, Manchester City defeated Charlton 2:0 away and achieved four consecutive victories.

Manchester City, which has won four consecutive victories, has risen to 12th place, with 42 points.

Looking at the standings, every Manchester City fan will wake up laughing if they are dreaming.

A month ago, they were still struggling in the relegation zone, but now, they have ranked 12th.

As fans of a small team, Manchester City fans don't have so many demands, so they are contented and happy.

Manchester City, which has won four consecutive victories, even faintly overwhelmed Manchester United next door, although the latter led the standings with a 5-point advantage.

What attracts attention is definitely not Gao Fushuai, but Diaosi's counterattack!

Who can beat Manchester City in such a hot state?
Some media raised such questions.

Everyone pulled out the schedule to check Manchester City's opponents in the next game.

With 7 rounds left in the league, Manchester City's opponents are Fulham, Liverpool, Arsenal, Watford, Manchester United, Everton and Tottenham.

Three upper halves and four lower halves.The opponents in the upper and lower halves are extremely strong.

Either the bottom teams like Watford and Fulham, or the top teams like Manchester United and Liverpool.

None of the mid-range teams.

Of course, this has something to do with the chaotic situation in the Premier League this season. There are not many mid-range teams either competing for the championship or relegation.

Although Manchester City ranks 12th, there is actually only a 9-point gap between them and the relegation zone.

In other words, more than eight teams were involved in this year's relegation battle.

Manchester City's next opponent, Fulham, is one of these eight teams.

They finished 15th.

But this does not mean that they are completely insignificant.

You know, relying on the team of the relegation team last season, Fulham still insisted on ranking 11th, almost entering the work zone.

If Newcastle is characterized by unstable performance, then Fulham's performance is very extreme.

Fulham have won 6 games this season, and all of these six games have been achieved at home.Among them, even traditional strong teams such as Chelsea and Liverpool were defeated by Fulham at home.

If it is not for the lack of strength, I believe that Fulham's home game must be a devil's home game.

The good results at home stem from Fulham's aggressive style of play.

Fulham is a team full of passion. Although they are underdogs, their strong attacking posture at home is shocking.

This is a team that is obviously stronger in offense than defense.

This tactic has also won many supporters for Fulham.

Looking at the five major leagues, in fact, there are many such weak teams who still insist on attacking.The Premier League has Fulham, La Liga is Athletic Bilbao, and Serie A is Palermo.

Although he persisted in the strong attack, he often became the target of disastrous defeats against giants.But it is precisely because of this aggressive attitude that they are fearless.

Unfortunately, the game between Manchester City and Fulham was at Fulham's home court, located at the Cravennon Stadium on the banks of the Thames.

"Manchester City has won four consecutive victories, so what? On the court, there has never been a doomed loss or victory! Chelsea and Liverpool are very strong. At the Cravennon Stadium, isn't it a loss?"

Coleman, Fulham coach, seemed confident.

In his opinion, the few opponents Manchester City encountered before were all lacking in attack power.Only Fulham has the attack power to truly defeat Fulham.

"I think the ranking can explain everything. In terms of attack, we have Samaras who scored seven goals in four games. Who does Fulham have? Sorry, I haven't heard of it!" The next day, Manchester Times "In a message that broke out, it was revealed that these were Duncan's original words.

Of course, these are definitely not Duncan's words, but Diop deliberately let them out.In his opinion.The team has no worries about relegation, it's time to make some small moves and get rid of Duncan.

Using the convenience of his "insiders", Diop began to leak "secrets" frequently, with the purpose of discrediting Duncan and angering opponents.

Sure enough, upon hearing this "internal news", Fulham, which was originally a powder keg, was completely ignited.

They were gearing up one by one, threatening to give Duncan and Manchester City a good look.
