Chapter 890: Winning the Championship in Advance

A 3-1 win over Arsenal in the Carabao Cup final saw Manchester City lift the Carabao Cup from Wembley Stadium once again.

However, the Manchester City team has been mentally prepared for this, because they have found that under Gao Han's coaching, a qualified Manchester City fan should learn to adapt to victory, which is undoubtedly a very happy thing.

However, the outside media began to seize on the Carabao Cup final to hype it up, and the topic was nothing more than the strength shown by Manchester City and the weakness of Arsenal in front of Manchester City, especially the foul in Szczesny in the opening game.

Sky Sports gave Szczesny, Djou and Koscielny a game-low four, with Djouu scoring a game-low 3.6, with the assessment that he was inseparable from Manchester City's goal, and Arsenal conceded another set-piece in this game, which is undoubtedly quite a bad thing.

'The Gunners have conceded 52 per cent of their set-pieces so far this season, the highest in the Premier League, which is certainly something to be wary of. ”

"Judging from the course of the game, Arsenal have a lot of problems in defence, the three goalkeepers of Almunia, Fabianski and Szczesny cannot guarantee the safety of the Gunners' goal, and the three central defenders of Djurou, Koscielny and Squeiraci cannot really solve Arsenal's defensive problems. ”

Sky Sports also reported on the Arsenal manager's answer in a post-match interview with media reporters.

Arsene Wenger said: "This is not the time to discuss and hold accountable, mistakes are certainly hard to accept, but we should think about how we can help them get out of this situation. ”

'We were a unit, this mistake was only part of the game, we couldn't put all the blame on the defenders, in fact, on the offensive end, we created a lot of scoring chances, but we missed them all. ”

Arsene Wenger summed it up by saying: "Our players are generally young and we have suffered a heavy defeat away from home, so we may be a little too nervous against Manchester City again, and that was evident from the start. ”

'However, I would say that this game did hit us but the Carabao Cup is a thing of the past, we still have a dozen or twenty games to play in the next season and we can't sink because we lose the Carabao Cup final. ”

Gao Han, who won the championship in the end, also excused Arsenal, saying that the victory or defeat of the game does not mean everything.

'In fact, several youngsters in the Arsenal squad have been doing very well, such as Szczesny, who would have scored at least a few more goals if it wasn't for his many saves, as well as Koscielny, Wilshere and, of course, Nasri and Robin van Persie, both of whom have caused us huge problems. ”

'Mistakes are inevitable and as a manager, from a professional point of view, I wouldn't have to erase the full performance of the players because of their mistakes, which is unfair. ”

In the interview, Gao Han gave very high praise to several players in the Manchester City team.

'There's no doubt that Sturridge is very positive, he's been fantastic, he's always been very good in my mind, and he's constantly trying to improve himself, so I don't think it's easy. ”

"Yes, if I were the manager of the England national team, I would definitely not hesitate to choose him as the main player of the national team, I think he has the quality and deserves this opportunity, maybe he can form a formidable forward combination with Wayne Rooney and Theo Walcott. ”

Also highly regarded is Vertonghen, although he has been brilliant in the game and has made mistakes, Gao Han said that Fertonghen's overall performance is satisfactory, "He is still growing rapidly, he will definitely be an important part of Manchester City's future blueprint, and more importantly, he will give it his all every time." ”

However, Manchester City are not without problems in the team, and that is young goalkeeper Joe Hart.

Because the main goalkeeper Peter Cech firmly controls the main position, Joe Hart, as a new talent in England, can only start in some dispensable cup competitions, just like the League Cup, he played in the previous games, but after the semi-finals, Gao Han began to arrange Cech to start.

This made Joe Hart a little unhappy, because his performance in the England national team was not bad, so after the game, he openly said in an interview with the media that he wanted to get more opportunities to perform.

'Yes, there is no doubt that I will definitely stay at Manchester City, but only if I get more games and I hope to be able to play for England in more competitions, including the European Championship and the World Cup. ”

Gao Han said in an interview with the media that he had heard Joe Hart's voice and would arrange for him to play as appropriate.

'We are a unit, we can only play 11 players and one goalkeeper for each game, but I have two high-quality goalkeepers, so I can't really do anything, but I will try to coordinate the playing time of the two goalkeepers if the team is stable. ”

Gao Han's reply was a bit of Tai Chi, but everyone understood his situation.

With the improvement over the years, Cech is now firmly in the position of the world's top goalkeeper, especially with Casillas and Buffon gradually declining in form, he can almost be said to be the world's number one goalkeeper, with a very solid performance and perfect technical characteristics.

Joe Hart is also considered to be superior among England's homegrown goalkeepers, but compared to Peter Cech, it must be a disadvantage, so it is natural for Gao Han to choose to trust Peter Cech.

And for Joe Hart, teams that are in desperate need of goalkeepers, including Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal, are very interested, after all, he is the current main goalkeeper of the England national team, and it is definitely in demand.

At the same time as Joe Hart, Arsenal stalked about Colombia international James Rodriguez in Chinatown, and according to Arsenal's mouthpiece The Independent, Arsene Wenger is very optimistic about the attacking midfielder and has not ruled out bringing him to the Emirates Stadium this summer.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately attracted the attention of the European media.

The coveted Hames Rodriguez team is clearly not just Arsenal, including Real Madrid, Barcelona and Liverpool are particularly interested in the Colombian midfielder, but this time Chinatown didn't even bother to refute the rumours.

Within a few days, the news faded completely.

…………

It's March, and the Premier League is back in action.

After 28 league games, Manchester City have won all the way, leading the way with 28 consecutive wins, accumulating 84 points, as many as 24 points ahead of second-placed Manchester United, with the Red Devils picking up 60 points in 28 rounds.

This huge gap also makes the Premier League title completely out of suspense.

In the 29th round, the first game was the focus match, with Liverpool facing Manchester United at Anfield.

Alex Ferguson's side had clearly given up on the league title race and were focused on the Champions League, so Liverpool's Dutch striker Kuyt scored a hat-trick in a 3-1 away game.

It was a game that shocked the whole of England.

In contrast, Arsenal were held to a 0-0 draw at home to Sunderland and Chelsea's 3-1 win at Blackpool went unnoticed, as everyone knew that after the Red Devils' defeat at Anfield, Manchester City would win Wigan Athletic at home to win the title early.

The Blue Moon game was played a day later than Manchester City, and Gao Han also paid great attention to this game, and the more critical the moment, the more he needed to be calm and composed, so he played with a full main lineup, and there was no danger at home, and he defeated Wigan Athletic 3-0 with four draws.

After the game, the entire city stadium was in a frenzy.

All the Manchester City fans who came to the scene danced in the stands to celebrate the team's successful Premier League title retention.

In the stands of the City Stadium, Manchester City fans hung huge portraits of Gao Han, who used miracles to describe all the changes that Gao Han has brought to Manchester City in the past two years.

Having won the Premier League and the Carabao Cup for two consecutive seasons, the Alpine City are almost invincible in the Premier League, and now the team continues to push for the FA Cup and the Champions League.

The club also arranged a brief celebration on the spot, and Gao Han also walked into the centre of the stadium to shout to all the Manchester City fans, all this is just the beginning, the team will do everything to continue to strive for the FA Cup and Champions League, and hope to be able to send a perfect answer to all Manchester City fans at the end of the season.

Gao Han's words caused the entire city stadium to fall into a carnival again.

Three days later, with the aura of the reigning Premier League champions, Manchester City sat at the City Stadium and welcomed Copenhagen.

In the first leg of the match between the two sides, Manchester City was limited by the away weather and failed to win in Copenhagen in advance, and after returning to the city stadium, Gao Han played with a half-main and half-substitute lineup, and Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat-trick to help the team beat Copenhagen 5-0, and then advanced to the next round with an aggregate score of 7-0.

But Arsenal were not so lucky.

Facing Barcelona in the second leg of the group, Arsene Wenger's team defeated Barcelona 2-1 at home in the first leg, winning the recognition and appreciation of fans all over the world, but in the second leg of the Camp Nou, Wenger failed to perform another miracle, losing 1-3 away, and was finally eliminated by Barcelona 3-4 on aggregate.

In the other matchup, Chelsea lost 1-1 away to Real Madrid in the first leg of a 1-1 draw at home, and were eventually eliminated by Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid 1-2 on aggregate.

Jose Mourinho finally led Real Madrid to the knockout round of 16 of the Champions League, and entered the quarterfinals of the Champions League for the first time after many years, which made all Real Madrid fans praise.

While Arsenal and Chelsea both lost, Manchester United drew 0-0 away at Marseille and beat their opponents 2-1 at home to win 2-1 on aggregate.

Four Premier League teams reached the round of 16, but only the Manchester duo made it through, while the two London sides failed.

In the end, the eight teams that successfully broke through to the quarterfinals were also newly released, namely Manchester City and Manchester United in the Premier League, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga, Juventus in Serie A, Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, and Shakhtar Donetsk in Ukraine.

The draw for the Champions League quarterfinals was also held in Nyon, Switzerland, the day after the Champions League quarter-finals were released.
