Super Training Master

The match against Portsmouth is already in March.

Time has entered March, the Winter War has come to an end, and the league has reached the final sprint stage.

City can focus on the league, which is good news for them, but also bad news - Chelsea's Champions League defeat to Rijkaard's Barcelona.

The Champions League defeat is bad news for Chelsea, but it is also bad news for Manchester City, because it means that Chelsea can focus on domestic competitions, although they also have the FA Cup to play, but after all, Manchester City's bench depth is not comparable to Chelsea, Chelsea It can be said that there is no pressure to support two-front operations.

It can be said that from now on, the two teams will compete for the league championship with all their strength.

Manchester City have an advantage of 4 points, but when there are only 10 rounds left in the league, 4 points do not have an absolute advantage, so the point that Wansheng emphasizes to the team is, We must win the game that we must win. !

Not making mistakes is more important than sudden performance.

Even if you draw or lose to a competitor, you must win against the smaller teams, so that you can gain more points and be more competitive in the league. After all, the league is a points system. Winning Manchester United and Chelsea is 3 points. Lower Sunderland and Wigan Athletic are also 3 points.

So Manchester City pays special attention to this game with Portsmouth.

Wansheng watched a lot of Portsmouth game videos before the game, and had a better understanding of this team. In conclusion, this is a team that is on the verge of relegation, and its offensive ability is quite poor. The chances are insufficient and the defense is also very weak, but considering that Portsmouth is currently ranked fifth from the bottom in the league, such strength is not surprising at all.

Although it is an underdog, it is not easy to win the game. After all, it's an away game, so Wansheng still told the players to be serious before the game.

But when it comes to the game, the players on the field are still a little careless.

No one thought that Portsmouth would be the first to score. In the 8th minute of the game, striker Caladas dashed into the penalty area. Distin's defensive error fell to the ground. The starting goalkeeper Wang Xiaolei was still standing in the far corner, and his position was quite bad. Caladas got a great opportunity. He seized the opportunity and sent the ball into the net with a precise low shot.

The ball came as a surprise!

Portsmouth did not expect the goal to come so quickly, and the fans of Portsmouth were also very pleasantly surprised.

After celebrating the goal, Portsmouth were not carried away by the goal. They know that the strength of the team is still not comparable to Manchester City. So they decided to strengthen their defense.

Manchester City was eager to score but failed for a long time, but the frequent threats to attack made Portsmouth more determined to defend.

In the second half, Wansheng replaced Robbie Fowler, hoping that the experienced veteran can bring goals, but Portsmouth still has a very tight defense, and it is difficult to penetrate them just by relying on the cooperation of the frontcourt. Defence, Manchester City had to change strategy. Or use frequent lobs to find opportunities.

Finally, in the 71st minute of the game, the attack paid off. A pass from Morris's periphery found Darren Bent, who accurately put the ball into the gate guarded by Wester Wade.

1:1.

This is also the final score.

A draw away to Portsmouth was a loss for Manchester City as their rivals Chelsea beat Tottenham, although they won it hard, only 1-0 with a final stoppage-time goal , but a win is a win. Chelsea took all 3 points, Manchester City only got 1 point, and the gap between the two teams was only two points.

By this time, many media began to look down on Manchester City.

In the past, many people were optimistic about Manchester City, because Manchester City is the first in the league, they have 4 points advantage, and they have performed quite well in the league all the way. They double-killed the enemy Manchester United, defeated Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and other strong teams, such The results surprised many people.

But things are different now, because Chelsea is free from the Champions League and can concentrate on the league.

Chelsea's strength is unquestionable. They have stars of tens of millions of pounds on the bench. Manchester City can't compare in terms of lineup. In front of Chelsea, Manchester City is like a small team. It is the main lineup. Manchester City only have Maurice and Anelka. What about Chelsea? Lampard, Terry, Drogba, Makelele, Essien... Almost all of them are big stars. What is even more terrifying is that these stars were kneaded into a whole by Mourinho. They It can be called the 'blue battleship' after Real Madrid.

The lineup is incomparable, and the two teams are all in the league, so the game between Manchester City and Portsmouth has been interpreted as a 'weakness at the end of the season'.

This is the case with many small teams. At the beginning of the league, they were very vigorous and their results were no worse than the giants. However, at the end of the season, many external reasons caused the results to be affected.

For example, Wigan Athletic, as a newly-promoted team, their results in the first half of the schedule can completely compete for the Premier League semi-finals, but after Christmas, injuries, lineups and the adaptation of opponents have greatly affected the results. , they have fallen all the way down to three places. They have extremely advantageous results. Now they can only barely compete for the qualification for the next European competition. Many analysts believe that it is not bad for Wigan Athletic to stay in the top ten.

Manchester City's performance has been good from the beginning of the season to now, but this does not mean that they can persist until the end of the season. In the last ten rounds, their performance is likely to decline.

In this way, it is naturally impossible for them to compete for the league championship.

Manchester Sports Daily reported that, Portsmouth are still in the relegation zone, they may not have expected to get a point against Manchester City, even if they are playing at home, after all, Manchester City's results are a little too good. .But they did it and Chelsea should thank Portsmouth...

Manchester City drew 1:1 with Portsmouth in this round. They were caught up by Chelsea by 2 points, and the advantage was only 2 points. We can imagine that Chelsea will overtake and become the top of the league soon. Manchester City will not have any more chances at that time...

As a big media in Manchester, Manchester Sporting is a loyal supporter of Manchester United. In fact, they don't like Chelsea either, but if they choose between Chelsea and Manchester City, they will choose Chelsea directly, because Chelsea is just a competitor. Manchester City are mortal enemies for centuries. That's why they don't have good things to say about Manchester City.

Neutral media also said that they are more optimistic about Chelsea, because Chelsea is stronger, and the gap of 2 points is only one game. If Chelsea can tie or even surpass the points, it will be difficult for Manchester City to catch up.

Manchester City's support Manchester City also made a worried voice, and they helped Manchester City analyze the reasons for the loss.

We should be more serious about the game. Against Portsmouth. A lot of players were not in shape...

It's a pity to concede the first goal, Distin's defense should be more careful!

If Anelka recovers, he should be given as soon as possible, the French can bring more goals to the team.

...

Wansheng didn't care about these remarks at all. After drawing a game and letting Chelsea catch up with 2 points, he knew that the media would not say good things. So he just got the team to prepare seriously.

The draw with Portsmouth gave the team a reminder, which is more useful than how much saliva Wansheng wasted. The team trained more seriously, and the attitude towards the game became more serious, so they faced Charlton in the next round, and Manchester City won a clean 4-0 victory.

The match made the media shut up immediately.

Manchester City's performance was too good. They suppressed Charlton in the whole game, making Charlton look helpless. From the beginning of the game, the situation was controlled by Manchester City, and the score was the same. Manchester City scored twice in the second half. The ball, showing absolute strength and suppression.

The reason why the media was speechless was more than that. In another game at the same time, the North London Derby, Chelsea lost 0:1 to the arch-rival Fulham.

This is a focused battle, and when Chelsea loses, it is bound to be controversial. Chelsea seems to have a natural aura of ridicule, and Mourinho can always find an excuse to lose.

In the Champions League loss to Barcelona, ​​the head coach Mourinho sneered at the red card that Horno got, They hacked us twice in two years, the they in the Portuguese's mouth can be understood as either Barcelona or as referee.

Losing to Fulham now, Mourinho has no comment on Gallas' red card, but Drogba is blown away by a goal, so the Portuguese has something to say, I can vouch for you, the assistant referee was I didn't see it clearly. I didn't see the handball on the sidelines, and neither did he, because he didn't raise the flag for the first time. After the goal, the Fulham players rushed to the referee to put pressure on the referee. The referee didn't judge it because he saw it , but because he was under pressure.

Mourinho slyly avoided the point of whether Drogba was handballing, drawing attention to the referee.

Manchester City had a strong victory over Charlton, increasing the points advantage to 5 points. The pressure on Wan Sheng plummeted, so he was also in the mood to say a few words, The referee seems to have become Chelsea's natural enemy, as long as there is a penalty that is unfavorable to Chelsea. , a foul, a red card, or a goal cancelled, you can always hear him (Mourinho) expressing dissatisfaction. But there are a lot of penalties against Manchester City, and we never say much.

Maybe it was his (Mourinho's) strategy, he wanted to turn people's attention away from looking at why Chelsea lost, and then everything was because of the referee, because of other external reasons.

In the end, Wan Sheng joked, If we finally win the league title, maybe he (Mourinho) will say, 'It is the referee who decides the championship', and the British Referees Association should feel honored because they have the ability to decide the season championship. !

Wan Sheng's words reached Mourinho's ears, causing the Portuguese to turn black. He said, He has no right to judge our game.

The league is far from over, it's too early for him to be happy!

This is a reminder to Wan Sheng, of course it is ironic, but Wan Sheng doesn't care, He wants to say that Chelsea still has a chance? Then I will let him know, how did Chelsea have no chance! The Manchester City media were all in high spirits.

This is almost the same as the declaration of champions!

So everyone focused on the 32nd round of the league, Chelsea at home against Manchester City.

This is also Chelsea's chance! The Times analyzed, If Chelsea can win this game, they are very hopeful to catch up with Manchester City, but if it is a draw or even lose, their chances will become Very slim, because it's hard to expect Manchester City to miss a few games in a row...

This is also completely different from the previous voice.

Before the match between Manchester City and Charlton, many media believed that Manchester City's results would decline, but now they think that Manchester City will stabilize its results, after all, the strength is there.

This is the impact of an absolute victory.

Those neutral media saw the strength of Manchester City, so they turned to support the more dominant Manchester City. As for how strong Chelsea is... This sentence has been said for a whole season, and the result is still not at the top of the table. Still Manchester City?

As for the match between Chelsea and Manchester City, many people are still very much looking forward to it.

Chelsea will definitely go all out in order to win the championship. Their advantage is still obvious, because they are playing at home, but the last time the two teams played against each other, Manchester City won 3:2. The memory is still fresh, and Manchester City also showed extraordinary strength, so it is difficult to say who will win, but there is no doubt that the game will be exciting.

Before the war, the 31st round of the league will go through. This round Chelsea will play the game first. Unexpectedly, Birmingham, who is at home, draws Chelsea 0:0.

This result is quite surprising!

Many people have been saying that Manchester City will make mistakes at the end of the league for many reasons, such as their lineup, the depth of the bench, the injury situation or simply lack of background, etc., but no one thought that it was Chelsea who made the mistake first. , after losing to arch-rivals Fulham in the same city derby, they drew Birmingham away and only got one league point.

In this game, Chelsea madly attacked the whole game, and it was difficult to break the funnel line of defense that Birmingham had conceded 12 goals in the past 3 games.

As the Sun sarcastically said, Birmingham's previous goals may have been prepared for this solid defense... Of course, this is just a mockery, but the Chelsea draw is real .

Soon Manchester City's game was over, and they won 1:0 at home to Middlesbrough, again taking all 3 points.

After this round, relying on Chelsea's mistakes, Manchester City's lead has been extended to 7 points. (To be continued ~^~)
