Chapter 358 Eat Your Six-game Winning Streak

This round of competition is Manchester City's fifth consecutive victory.

They played one game less, and they are in second place after Chelsea, who have won all six games.

And behind them, there is an echelon of teams.

Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham, Villa, the five teams all have 4 wins, 2 losses and 12 points, only because of the goal difference, there is a difference in ranking.

In this season of competition, Chelsea, trained by Ancelotti, has exploded with amazing abilities. The victory of six consecutive games has also made the English media praise Ancelotti and Chelsea to the clouds.

Of course, Manchester City behind them, as the defending champion, cannot be underestimated.

People are already looking forward to, on December 12th, in the 5th round of the Premier League, Chelsea will be a guest at the City Stadium to challenge Manchester City.

But what the two teams have to do is, before that, bite the bullet and don't fall behind.

After the game against Manchester United, Manchester City played another League Cup match against Fulham.

The substitute teenagers performed well, beating them in the same youth team 3:1, and advanced to the top 16 of the League Cup with their heads held high.

The League Cup game was still very easy. Fulham wanted to avoid relegation and had no idea about the League Cup, so Manchester City won easily.

At the press conference after the game, everyone's focus was not on this game, but on the battle for the top spot between Chelsea and Manchester City.

"Mr. Duncan, with your two consecutive Premier League titles and six Premier League titles last season, you have almost established a Manchester City dynasty." The reporter is obviously more interested in Manchester City's record: "But Chelsea's start to the season is really impressive. It’s amazing! They won 6 consecutive victories and scored 15 goals, impacting your road to three consecutive championships. How do you think you should deal with it?”

"I respect Ancelotti very much." Duncan said: "I thought Chelsea was overshadowed by me last season. Unexpectedly, Ancelotti brought Chelsea to the best form so quickly!"

"Chelsea may have performed well, but we are not bad! Although we are temporarily behind Chelsea by 3 points, but it is only 6 rounds, it is too early to draw conclusions. And we have one game less than them, plus this We're not necessarily worse than Chelsea."

"The league is a marathon. The real marathon runners are not the ones who have already started to lead, but the ones who distribute their energy evenly and are the first to reach the finish line!"

Duncan's answer was very confident, which is also the mentality of the Manchester City team at this time.

The opponent is leading, just because they haven't played yet.

On the Chelsea side, Ancelotti responded to Duncan.

"We are in the best condition! Defensively, we are stronger than last season, and what I care more about is the activation of the team's offensive ability! Drogba, Anelka, and Robbie Neo, it can enrich our offensive routines! This season, we try to use various methods to create more scoring opportunities. I think, such changes will help us win the game better! "

"We didn't do well last season, and the team experienced a lot of ups and downs. But after I arrived this season, the players told me that they all want the championship! There is a champion's heart, which is why we performed well this season. The reason! I warn my players, we are very strong, our opponent is only ourselves! As long as we don’t make the same mistakes, I believe that returning to the top is not a problem!”

"The 6-game winning streak is not our end! We can't have any slack. If we want to be happy, I think of the end of the season, and then go to be happy!"

Ancelotti is an old fox, he only talks about himself and not others, and he doesn't let Duncan's words affect his team at all.

After all, he just came to the Premier League. Although he has rich experience, he is still new to the Premier League.

"I hope Chelsea will not fall behind before they meet us." Before preparing for the next round of the league, Duncan said to his assistants.

For an old fox like Ancelotti, it is difficult for you to influence him verbally.

However, Duncan's words seemed to put some kind of magic spell on Chelsea, which capsized Chelsea in the 7th round.

In this round, Chelsea challenged Wigan Athletic away.Wigan Athletic has 2 wins and 4 losses, which is only the weakest team ranked 15th.

But their performance surprised Chelsea.

In the first half of the game, Bramble gave Wigan Athletic a head start.At the beginning of the second half, Drogba continued his fiery state and equalized the score.

The turning point of the game occurred in the 51st minute.Wigan Athletic won a single shot and broke into Chelsea's restricted area. Cech had no choice but to pull down the other side.

The referee made a decisive move and awarded a red dot package.

Petr Cech is sent off and Chelsea are awarded a penalty.

Wigan Athletic's center forward, Rodalega made a steady penalty kick, and in stoppage time, Charnay sealed the victory.

Wigan Athletic beat Chelsea.

The opportunity came to Manchester City.

As long as they beat West Ham United, they will be tied with their opponents in the standings.

However, Manchester City's away game against West Ham United was scheduled to kick off at 15:[-] in the afternoon.

This is a sleepy time.

As if affected by the game in the afternoon, the Manchester City team entered the game state a little slowly.

The opponent is very weak, so he can only kill with his neck.

Throughout the first half, Manchester City created enough chances, but always came close.

It wasn't until the second half of the game that Manchester City won a chance.

After Hargreaves succeeded in stealing the ball, he handed it to Toure. Toure didn't stick the ball and handed the ball to David Silva.

After Silva got the ball, he used his wonderful dribbling to shake West Ham United's defensive players to death.

Even the defensive player's attempt to use "reasonable collision" to knock down Silva failed.

When they can't grab Silva's ball and knock down Silva's small body, West Ham United can only catch it with nothing.

Silva didn't even pass the ball. Using his sudden burst of speed and quick pace adjustment, he suddenly changed direction and cut into the penalty area.

In an instant, Silva left all the defensive players behind.

Facing the attacking goalkeeper, Silva was very calm, cheated the opponent with a fake move, and then gently picked up the ball. The football crossed an arc and fell into the goal behind him.

1: 0!
Manchester City took the lead and opened up their scoring account at the same time.

Five minutes later, Toure dribbled the ball in the middle. After careful observation, he swung his leg and passed the ball diagonally to the right of West Ham United's defense. .

Shevchenko was already ready to go. He chose to attack the goal with a header from close range. The opponent's goalkeeper reacted quickly and tried his best to save it!

But Aguero has a very keen sense of smell. He appeared in front of the football like an assassin, and then in the desperate eyes of the West Ham United team, he stretched out his foot and poked the ball into the West Ham United goal.

2: 0!

After scoring two goals in a row, Manchester City also began to breathe a sigh of relief, slowly grinding with West Ham United.

In the following game, although the opponent scored one, Shevchenko's goal left West Ham with no hope of a comeback.

3: 1!
In the end, in this game, Manchester City defeated their opponents and scored three points.

In the standings, Manchester City tied Chelsea.
