Fulham are currently 11th in the league, and with 30 rounds of league play, Fulham is not in danger of relegation, but there is basically no possibility of qualifying for Europe, and this team is now basically in a situation where there is no 'desire', which is also in line with Fulham's usual style, they are the representatives of the mid-table teams in the Premier League, often able to rank nine to a dozen positions.

It stands to reason that the current Fulham team is unlikely to pose any threat to Manchester City, but on City's side, Mancini is taking this game very seriously.

Manchester City are now fourth, three points behind third-placed Manchester United and three points ahead of joint-fifth-placed Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa.

In the eyes of many people, Manchester City can go from the bottom of the table in the first half of the season to the current position, and can now rank fourth in the league, which is already very remarkable, if at the end of the season, Manchester City can finally finish fourth and qualify for next season's Champions League qualification, this can definitely be said to be quite an inspirational season.

For Mancini, who took over Manchester City halfway, he has already won a League Cup with the team, and can also reach the top four and qualify for the Champions League qualifiers.

Mancini, however, had a different idea.

※※※※※※※

He's not content to just finish fourth!

On this day, Roberto Mancini was staring at the standings, with Manchester City at 55 points in fourth place, ahead of Manchester United in third place with 58 points, and Arsenal in second place with 61 points, while Chelsea led the way with 64 points.

Roberto Mancini is calculating that City are now three points behind Manchester United, six points behind Arsenal and nine points behind leaders Chelsea.

With eight rounds of league games remaining, Manchester City are nine points away from Chelsea at the top of the table, and it can be said that there is no hope of winning the title, of course, with Manchester City's current strength, it is not realistic to compete for the league title.

However, Mancini's eyes were taken away from Chelsea and stayed on Arsenal.

Manchester City are now six points clear of second-placed Arsenal!

With eight games remaining, the six-point gap is a bit wider, but it is not impossible for Manchester City to squeeze out Arsenal and finish second.

Mancini started out as an idea, why can't Manchester City try to challenge for second place?!

At first it was just an idea, but when the idea came out, Mancini had a strong goal of 'sex' and desire!

Eight rounds of games, chasing six points, and hitting the league runner-up!

If it can really be done, this can greatly stab the morale and fighting spirit of the team, with Manchester City's current state, as long as Manchester City bites Arsenal and keeps catching up, maybe there is really hope.

Of course, let's not forget Manchester United, Ferguson's side will be looking to knock old rivals Arsenal down, and the most tangible goal for United now is to finish runners-up.

So, Manchester City want to challenge for the runners-up in the league, and their opponents are not only Arsenal, but also Manchester United!

It's not just about Manchester City making a difference, it's also about expecting Manchester United and Arsenal to make mistakes themselves.

However, don't forget, in the next eight rounds of the league, Manchester City will also 'play' against Manchester United and Arsenal respectively, such a direct duel is called a 'six-point' duel!

To be able to win in this kind of direct confrontation will be a good opportunity for Manchester City to close the gap between the two teams in front of them and wait for the opportunity to turn around!

Because Mancini has seen that although Arsenal is now in second place, they are only three points behind Chelsea, but Arsenal does not have the strength to overturn Chelsea, although Wenger has repeatedly said that Arsenal is still looking forward to the championship, but Mancini believes that Arsenal is unlikely to really pose a threat to Chelsea, but Arsenal wants to compete for the title, and is more likely to be dragged away by Chelsea, once it encounters difficulties, it may fall behind.

In Mancini's eyes, Arsenal has never been good at attacking tough battles, but Ferguson's Manchester United is more tenacious. Therefore, in Mancini's view, the biggest threat to the league runner-up is not Arsenal, which is now in second place, but Manchester United, which is ranked third!

However, let's not forget that there is also a Manchester derby, and if City can win Manchester United in direct conversation, then Manchester City's attempt at the league runners-up will not be just imaginary.

So Mancini had a little ambition.

Originally, Manchester City's results in the first half of the season were very bad, and they began to exert their strength in the second half of the season, but if Arsenal and Manchester United can be more 'outstanding' and the point gap with Manchester City is widened, with the strength of Manchester City, they should be very happy to finish fourth in the league, and it is unlikely to compete with them.

However, Arsenal and Manchester United are not competitive on their own, and in the final sprint of the season, the difference between six points and three points is not an insurmountable barrier, maybe Manchester City can take the opportunity to sneak attack and take away a league runner-up and direct qualification for the Champions League from these two traditional giants!

Of course, the third place in the league can also be directly promoted to the Champions League, but since it is going to be impacted, then, among the two options of second and third place, why not hit the second place in the league?!

Mancini knows that if he can really finish second in the league, it will be a big 'boost' for Manchester City's morale, which will greatly enhance the sense of pride and ambition of this team that is 'pinched together by money'.

Hitting the league runners-up - Mancini wants to give it a try.

※※※※※※※

For this reason, in the next eight rounds of the league, every game, Manchester City must be played as a final, and Fulham's game, although the opponent is not strong, but Manchester City must not take it lightly, this game Manchester City must win.

So, against Fulham, Mancini didn't dare to be careless, he did a lot of homework on this game and he had to make sure he won it.

After the second day's training, Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini had a conversation with Yang Fan.

The location is in Roberto Mancini's manager's office.

Roberto Mancini told the captain his goal: to finish runners-up in the league!

He originally thought that he would surprise Yang Fan by proposing this goal, after all, in the eyes of many people, Manchester City should be content to finish fourth in the league. Even some Manchester City players think so: fourth place is a result that can be laughed and cheered!

However, Yang Fan's appearance surprised him.

"That's good. Yang Fan said.

"Don't you have any ideas?" asked Mancini, a little surprised, "don't you think this goal is a bit unrealistic?"

"How come?" Yang Fan said in surprise, "how can a league runner-up be an unrealistic goal? It may be difficult for us to catch up with Chelsea, but it is a good goal to finish as runners-up." Six points behind Arsenal, it's not too much of a problem......

"So, you agree with the decision?" asked Mancini.

"That's right. Yang Fan said happily, "Coach, don't worry, I will support you with actions." ”

Mancini smiled, he knew what Yang Fan meant by 'supporting with action', he was very happy to be able to reach a consensus with Yang Fan so happily, Yang Fan is the captain of the team, don't look at him young, but, among the players and in the ball 'fans' is very prestigious, with Yang Fan's captain support, Mancini feels that the team seems to be one step closer to the goal.

Yang Fan is also very happy, he is excited that the head coach has such ambitions, which makes him have a good impression of Mancini, an ambitious and ambitious coach, which is definitely what Yang Fan is most willing to work with.

Before the match with Fulham, the Manchester City players took the bus to the stadium, and on the bus, Yang Fan suddenly made a promise to everyone: if the team can win away against Fulham, he will pay out of his pocket to invite the whole team to eat and have a good time.

His words immediately attracted a lot of applause, and it was absolutely nice to be able to win the game and have someone to treat him.

The fighting spirit and morale of the Manchester City players were suddenly mobilized.

When Mancini heard Yang Fan say this, he was first surprised, and then happy. Only he really understood what Yang Fan meant when he said this, the young captain was responding in this way, expressing his 'desire' to win, setting an example for the whole team as the captain, and driving the fighting spirit and morale of the whole team.
