Three days later, Manchester City had an FA Cup quarter-final fixture. Read the full text of the latest chapter-

Manchester City took the lead in the eleventh minute, Ireland passed directly, the ball passed a little big, however, Yang Fan, who succeeded in the anti-offside position, still caught up with the football at the place where the football was close to the bottom line, and then he got up at a small angle to 'shoot' the 'goal', the football passed the attacking 'goalkeeper' Sorensen, hit the post and bounced back, the chasing Stoke City 'goalkeeper' Shaw Clos inexplicably pushed the ball back in front of the bottom line, and Tevez on the 'inserted' seized the opportunity to send it into the empty 'goal'.

The goal was so strange that even the commentator couldn't understand how Stoke City's Shaw Clos could have used a header-like action to push the ball down the middle, giving Tevez a chance to hit the 'goal'.

Tevez was also stunned at the time, the other party was giving a big gift, but although he was stunned, he was not ambiguous at his feet, and directly hit the empty 'door' to succeed. Subsequently, the Argentine and his friend Yang Fan happily celebrated the goal, leaving Xiao Clos there with a somewhat depressed face.

"Hey, hey, what were you doing?" Stoke City goalkeeper Sorensen angrily questioned his teammate.

Shawclos glanced at his 'goalkeeper', but was speechless, but fortunately, the other players came back to persuade him, so as not to expand the internal contradictions of Stoke City.

Stoke equalised in the 57th minute when Delap threw in a throw-in that could have been used as a set-piece, and Fuller leaped high to head Richards into the net.

This was also the final score of the game, and the two sides played to a 1-1 draw.

The FA Cup is played in eight rounds, with the first two rounds going to amateur, League One and League Two teams, while the Premier League and Championship teams play in the third round, with the exception of the semi-finals and finals, if each round is tied within 90 minutes, there will be a replay. If the replay is tied within 90 minutes, extra time will be played, and if there is no winner in extra time, a penalty shoot-out will be played.

So, Manchester City and Stoke City have drawn in this FA Cup quarter-final and they need to play a replay with Stoke City at a later date.

The day after Manchester City's FA Cup match against Stoke City, in Japan, China scored twice in a 2-0 win over Hong Kong in the final game of the East Asian semi-finals. (Good Novel)

The Chinese team finally won the championship of the East Asian semifinals by virtue of goal difference, which made Chinese football 'fans' and domestic media very excited.

Yang Fan also paid attention to the situation on the national team's side, and he called Qu 'Bo' to congratulate his national team striker partner on his 'color' performance.

After hanging up Qu 'Bo''s phone, Yang Fan's mobile phone rang again, looking at the caller number, Yang Fan smiled, that guy called?

The call was from Cristiano Ronaldo.

"Hey, why don't you get through on the phone? Cristiano Ronaldo complained as soon as he got on the phone.

"I've been talking on the phone. Yang Fan said, "Why did you remember to call me? Could it be that you want to have a treat?" he quipped.

"Treats? Cristiano Ronaldo smiled and said, "When the time comes, I will treat you to the most authentic Portuguese meal." ”

"I haven't heard of any food that Portugal is famous for. Yang Fan said with a smile.

"Don't worry, you'll definitely have a good time. ”

"Are you serious?" Yang Fan was surprised, "I don't have time to go to Portugal, you are a blank check." ”

"You don't know yet?" asked Cristiano Ronaldo in surprise.

"What?" Yang Fan was stunned.

"Hey, you really don't know. Cristiano Ronaldo laughed and explained.

2010 is the year of the World Cup, the opening day of the World Cup is getting closer and closer, all the princes are busy warming up, this is not without the Chinese men's football team in South Africa, and there are also others who take the initiative to send the 'door' game, their opponent is the Portuguese men's football team, the time is March 3, the Chinese men's football team flew to Portugal to fight with the Portuguese men's football team, of course, Portugal took the initiative to find the national football game, the main reason is their opponents in the World Cup. Because they are deeply trapped in the group of death, in addition to North Korea, there are also Brazil and Ivory Coast in the same group, for the 'mysterious division' North Korea, Portugal must win, and finally defeat Ivory Coast, and join hands with Brazil to qualify is the ultimate goal.

Because the Chinese team and the North Korean team both belong to East Asia, and the two teams have similarities, Portugal and the Chinese team warmed up, which is to use the Chinese team as an imaginary enemy North Korea to warm up.

Cristiano Ronaldo was very happy to learn about the arrangement of this warm-up game, so he called Yang Fan, but he didn't expect Yang Fan to know the warm-up arrangements for this game.

Knowing the arrangement of this warm-up match from Cristiano Ronaldo, Yang Fan was also happy, "Ha, this is going to your territory, of course you have a treat." ”

"It's all right. Cristiano Ronaldo smiled heartily, the two of them are not in the same team now, and they don't have the most direct competitive relationship, but they are beginning to miss the days when they were partnered together, and the relationship is much better.

The two chatted for a while before ending the call.

Manchester City is unlikely to meet Real Madrid in the Champions League in the short term, so this warm-up match between the Chinese team and the Portuguese team is the first real duel between Yang Fan and Cristiano Ronaldo as opponents, and both of them are looking forward to this game.

Of course, not only the two of them are looking forward to this game, but also the football 'fans' of the two countries, as well as the football 'fans' of Cristiano Ronaldo and Yang Fan, are also looking forward to this game.

"Well, we've been involved with Stoke City lately. Yang Fan looked at the schedule and said with some surprise.

Three days after the FA Cup tie against Stoke City, Manchester City have a midweek league game against Stoke City in a rematch for the 23rd round of the league.

In this game, Manchester City finally won 2-1 away, and Shun Lì got three points, the fly in the ointment is that Yang Fan still failed to score in this game, however, he provided two assists.

The Manchester Evening News also couldn't help but exclaim that when the Manchester City captain, who had encountered a goal barrier, focused on assists, the entire Manchester City attacking group benefited. The newspaper also joked that maybe Yang Fan's forward partners even hope that the captain's goal drought will last longer, because he can comfortably receive Yang Fan's assist.

Although he didn't score, Yang Fan was still happy to be able to send an assist, and as a captain, he couldn't always think about how he was, and he needed to always consider the feelings of others. Although he is recognized as the offensive core of the team, he is also eager to score goals when he thinks of partners such as Tevez and Santa Cruz, and they will feel a little uncomfortable if they score less. Now I'm not in good shape to score, and I feel good to have more assists for my partner.

After Yang Fan's return from injury, Manchester City's fighting power quickly recovered, as exemplified by the Carabao Cup semi-final elimination of Manchester United. Now, the league has reached the second half, whether it is the leader Chelsea, or the chasers Arsenal and Manchester United, there is a game to play with Manchester United, and now, even these three teams dare not say that they will definitely win Manchester City, so the media is also saying that although Manchester City has no chance to compete for the league title this season, there is no doubt that "Manchester City is a qualified spoiler." "This is the Daily Mirror's assessment very well.

Manchester City's schedule during this period is quite intensive, with two games in a row, and the whole team is tired, in this situation, they have a strong opponent: the Red Army Liverpool!

"It's a super showdown for Champions League qualification!" said The Times.

After Manchester City won Stoke City's league play-up, the current Premier League is like this.

The top seven teams in the league are Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal, Manchester City, Aston Villa, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur. Among them, Chelsea leads with 58 points, behind him, Manchester City and Arsenal are gritting their teeth to catch up, Hongnai Arsenal is both 52 points, six points behind Chelsea, after which Manchester City is fourth with 48 points, behind Manchester City, the chasers bite very tightly, Aston Villa is 45 points, Liverpool is 44 points, Tottenham Hotspur is 43 points.

The top two teams in the Premier League can qualify directly for next season's Champions League, with third and fourth places required to qualify for the Champions League. Arsenal and Manchester United are likely to win the second and third places, and their strength and heritage are also stronger than the teams behind, so the fourth place Manchester City is now in is the focus of contention, Aston Villa is only three points behind Manchester City, and Liverpool is four points behind Manchester City, and the next game between Manchester City and Liverpool is given more meaning, if Liverpool can beat Manchester City, the difference between the Reds and Manchester City is only one point! Of course, if Manchester City can win against Liverpool, they will at least be able to temporarily throw Liverpool, the strongest of the pursuers behind them.

Manchester City's table in the second half of the season did not have a 'colorful' in the first half of the season, and there were ups and downs, which was due to the decline in the team's physical fitness, because it did not bring in players during the winter break, so it has been relying on this main lineup to play, which has made many people unbearable. Among them, Yang Fan's continuous failure to score has something to do with this.

This game is crucial for Liverpool, and there is also news in the media that Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez has given a death order to the Liverpool players to win Manchester City, and this game will be played as a Champions League final
