Chapter 382 Life Is Thinner Than Paper
If luck is good enough, Manchester City will even win the cup in the next game.

And if the luck is really bad, the only difference is that it will be delayed for a few rounds.

In this case, Ancelotti knows that it is useless to struggle, and this season is basically the case.

It's just that he doesn't mind, setting up a small obstacle on Manchester City's way to win the championship.

"Manchester City are now advancing on three fronts at the same time. They need to do their best in every game to maintain their competitiveness. Although we are still far away from them, in the next games, we will still relay to fight for every match. Winning a game won't make it easy for them to win the championship."

In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Ancelotti is still a little frustrated.After all, he led Chelsea and played a very exciting season.

In terms of record, it is very good.

But he ran into a Manchester City that was almost unsolvable.

So he can only be forced to accept the ending of the champion changing hands.

The strong rise of any team will always be backed by some strong background boards.

It's like Chelsea is to Manchester City now, Real Madrid in La Liga is to Barcelona, ​​and other teams in Serie A are to Inter Milan.

Not just the title contenders, but Manchester City's next league rival, Wigan Athletic.

Their head coach Martinez also expressed his position.

Wigan Athletic is now ranked 16th and there is still the possibility of relegation.

So at this time, facing the pressure of survival, they dare to speak to any opponent.

"Toure and David Silva are very good players. They are Manchester City's midfield duo. Together they support Manchester City's backbone. There is no doubt that they are the best and most powerful two in the Premier League season. player." Martinez first praised the two opponents' players, and then changed the subject: "However, this is not a reason for us to retreat. We are now very close to the relegation circle, so we need more points to ensure safety !"

"So, in this league, we will go all out in the city stadium and fight for our own destiny!"

In a last stand, Martinez believes that the outbreak of Wigan Athletic will definitely surprise Manchester City.

Before the match between Manchester City and Wigan Athletic, another match between Chelsea and Aston Villa was over.

Ancelotti really did what he said. In the game, the Chelsea team broke out with amazing fighting power. They defeated Aston Villa 7:1 at Stamford Bridge.

Then, everyone's eyes were focused on this game.

In the locker room of the visiting team, Martinez delivered a very impassioned speech to the players to arouse the players' fighting spirit.

In the final battle, David challenges Goliath, and David usually wins. Isn't this a serious routine?

Facing Manchester City, which ranks first in the league, Martinez is full of confidence.

He felt that his team was fully capable of taking all three points at the opponent's home court!
At the beginning of the game, the script did follow Martinez's idea.

Wigan Athletic took advantage of the kick-off and took the lead in attacking.

Midfielder Hendry Thomas made a cross from the wing, and forward Skland grabbed a spot in the penalty area and scored a powerful header.

It's just that the angle is slightly positive, Joe Hart is in a good position and confiscated the ball.

Martinez has some regrets. If his team can score at the beginning, then Wigan Athletic won 80.00% of the game.

But he is not too sad, this game, he prepared a lot of weapons, ready to attack Manchester City.

The attack just now was just a small test.

After Wigan Athletic completed the attack, Manchester City served.

Instead of stepping back, the Wigan Athletic players stayed up front, trying to grab a kick-off.

They know that Manchester City's defenders prefer to use passes under their feet.

But this does not mean that Manchester City can only kick the ball!

Joe Hart made a big kick and drove the ball to the frontcourt.

Martinez smiled, and he also made arrangements for Manchester City's kick-off.

Wigan Athletic's two central defenders surrounded the high point of Manchester City's frontcourt, Samaras.

They have carefully studied the characteristics of Samaras.

It's just that the role and ability of the star is not something that you will be able to guard against after you have studied it thoroughly.

Having vision is just one of them, but more importantly, strength!
Samaras has really grown a lot in Manchester City in the past two years.

What he has to fight against are all the top central defenders in the Premier League and even the world, so his own strength has also grown significantly.

At least in the face of Wigan's defensive configuration in the middle and lower reaches of the team, Samaras' ability can not only be defended by stacking defensive players.

Samaras got the ball and knocked it to Aguero.

Aguero started quickly and dribbled the ball straight into the penalty area.

Wigan Athletic's full-back hastened over to steal the ball.His intention was to use rough fouls and physical contact to push Aguero to the ground.

But Aguero's waist and abdomen were strong, and although he staggered, he still didn't fall to the ground.

Instead, the opponent's focus was on Aguero, causing him to fall to the ground.

Aguero faced the opposing goalkeeper alone.

Wigan Athletic's goalkeeper, facing Aguero, is a bit in a dilemma.I don't know whether to actively rush forward or stay in place.

Facing the opponent, Aguero showed the top qualities of a shooter. With a light tap of his toes, the football drew an arc and bypassed the opponent's head.

Then crashed into the goal behind him.

Confirming that the football entered the goal, Aguero opened his arms and ran like a falcon patrolling his territory.

Only 2 minutes into the game, Manchester City scored for the first time with their first shot.

And from the process point of view, Manchester City's goal was very easy, with almost no twists and turns.

Martinez was a little angry. He thought he had arranged everything, but the player's tactical execution ability was too poor, which caused his tactics to not be fully utilized.

In fact, the difference is not only the tactical execution ability, but also the strength of the players.

Wigan Athletic was able to rank 16th at the end of a season. This ranking is actually the best illustration of the strength of the team.

Martinez's idea is indeed very good, but the gap in strength between the two teams cannot be made up with a few words of encouragement.

This opening is just an appetizer.

In the next game, Manchester City fully grasped the initiative on the court.

Many of Martinez's conceived bridges were unable to be used due to the lack of strength of Wigan Athletic.

Even, the number of times they scored the first 30 meters is very few.

Even so, within 10 minutes, Aguero scored twice for Manchester City, Pedro also scored a goal, and they formed a three-goal lead.

In fact, the problem with Martinez is that he has too many ideas.

The ability of his team is not enough to support many more complex tactical arrangements.

If his team can keep it simple, maybe Wigan Athletic will have some chances.

In the end, Martinez tried the bitter fruit of the mantis' arm. At the City Stadium, his team swallowed six goals and lost 0:6 at the feet of Manchester City.
