Sheffield Wednesday is now only two or three points ahead of the relegation zone team, and the relegation situation is not optimistic, therefore, they are absolutely unwilling to give away the victory to Manchester City, even if they only get a draw, it will be of great help to their relegation, therefore, this game Sheffield Wednesday team in their home stadium stubbornly resisted, of course, they did not want to win Manchester City, but set up an iron bucket formation, want to draw Manchester City.

Manchester City did not put on a posture to eat Sheffield Wednesday, because they will face Real Madrid away in three days, the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, so they sent a rotating lineup for this game, under the leadership of Ding Hongxing, Manchester City team unhurriedly controlled the rhythm of the field, which showed their strong self-confidence, even if this game cannot be won, this season's league championship will not be lost.

Ding Hongxing mainly uses accurate long passes to find flaws in the back line of the Sheffield Wednesday team and mobilize the Sheffield Wednesday defense, the Sheffield Wednesday team pursues the strategy of the tiger not out of the hole, no matter how the Manchester City team moves, they will not take the initiative to attack, and it is clear that they are stubborn to defend a point.

Although the Sheffield Wednesday team's defense is very tight, but under the dispatch of Ding Hongxing, the Manchester City team still got a lot of shooting opportunities, mainly long-range shots and headers, today Sheffield Wednesday's team's back line and goalkeepers played well, and the Manchester City team's foot wind was not very smooth, therefore, by the end of the first half, the score on the field has not been rewritten.

Of course, this style of play is also a big test of Sheffield Wednesday's physical fitness, because their running distance is much longer than Manchester City's players, the second half to 22 minutes, Sheffield Wednesday team showed fatigue, at this moment, Ding Hongxing suddenly inserted, he dribbled the ball past the opponent's three players in a row, at the edge of the penalty area, he decisively kicked up a long shot, the ball was like an arrow from the string, and quickly jumped into the upper right corner of the Sheffield Wednesday team's goal.

After breaking the deadlock, Manchester City's mentality is more relaxed, generally speaking, in order to save the defeat, the team that concedes first will press the formation, so that Manchester City can take advantage of more opportunities, but surprisingly, Sheffield Wednesday still can't hold on, it seems that they can accept a 0-1 loss.

It's not surprising if you think about it, if you want to be relegated, in addition to points, goal difference is also very important, in the face of a super team like Manchester City, Sheffield Wednesday also knows that if they press hard, their backline will probably be beaten into a sieve by Manchester City, so it will be too much of a loss on goal difference, so even if they lose a goal, they have to defend it, and it is a victory for them to concede a few fewer goals.

In the end, Sheffield Wednesday's strategy worked, as they had just two shots on goal and lost just one goal, 0-1.

Although Manchester City managed to win, Arsenal also gritted their teeth, and after conceding a goal, Overmars and Bergkamp scored a goal each to defeat Blackburn Rovers 2-1, so that the gap between them and Manchester City was still 17 points, and the suspense of the league title was successfully extended to the next round.

The fans who came to support Manchester City were not disappointed, because Manchester City's next league round will be at home to Wimbledon on the 11th, and if Manchester City wins that game, no matter what the outcome of the Arsenal game is, Manchester City will win the title five rounds in advance, and it is of course a good thing for fans to be able to celebrate the title at home.

Before this league game, Manchester City also have to play Real Madrid away from home, and this game is also not to be lost, so Manchester City team arrived in Madrid, the capital of Spain, two days ahead of schedule to prepare for this game.

This is the first time that Manchester City has met Real Madrid in the Champions League, this is a complete encounter, Real Madrid team has been in the Champions League under the management of Heynckes this season, and they are in a good situation in the league, not only have they been about ten points behind their arch-rival Barcelona in the standings, and even have been behind Athletic Bilbao and Valencia, only fourth, and sometimes even fall to five or six places, and next season's Champions League seats are worrying.

In this case, Real Madrid certainly can't use the rotation squad as extravagantly in the league as Manchester City, they experienced a hard-fought battle last weekend, and after only three days, they will face a strong opponent Manchester City at home, they are not as good as Manchester City in terms of physical fitness, which is also Manchester City's biggest advantage in European competition, no matter what opponent they face, they will generally have an advantage in physical fitness, and no team in Europe can have two strong squads at the same time, It is even more impossible to have an absolute core like Ding Hongxing with unlimited physical strength, who can play all the games, and other teams, as long as it is an important game, it is impossible for them to rotate in a large area, and the main players have too many games to play.

Of course, against Manchester City, Real Madrid also have a reason to win, if they can't finish in the top two in the league, the only way for them to get into next season's Champions League is to win this season's Champions League, if they can't get into the Champions League, it is almost unacceptable to a giant like Real Madrid, so they will definitely use 12% of their strength against Manchester City.

For world football, the duel between Manchester City and Real Madrid is also a feast, both sides are star-studded, Manchester City has the superstar Ding Hongxing, who won the European Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year last year, and the other main players in their team were still unknown when they entered Manchester City, as Manchester City's results are getting better and better, they are also famous one by one, becoming first-line stars, like Stam, Lizarazu, Seedorf, Makellele, The likes of Nedved are considered to be in the top three in the world in all their positions, so the strength of Manchester City's midfield line can be called terrifying.
