This Champions Cup is undoubtedly the world of Premier League teams again.

Manchester City eliminated Villarreal, Manchester United eliminated Porto, and Arsenal and Chelsea, who caught each other, finally Chelsea had the last laugh, and the Premier League occupied three places in the top four, forming an encirclement and suppression of Barcelona!

However, Barcelona are also serious contenders for this season's Champions League, as they swept Bayern Munich 4-0 at home in the first leg of the knockout round, showing a strong fighting spirit and confidence.

In the semi-finals, Manchester United and Manchester City played the Manchester derby in the semi-finals, and in the other game, Chelsea met Barcelona again - even if it is not Mourinho who is now in charge, but the feud between Chelsea and Barcelona still makes this game very interesting.

"Playing three games in a row against Manchester United in a short period of time, I think it's easy to get tired of aesthetics. While everyone would like to see the first Manchester derby in the semi-finals, we will meet in the league after two knockout games...... I think Sir Alex Ferguson would have been bored too. ”

After the matchup, Dick said with a smile in an interview that the semi-finals are on April 30 and May 6, and on May 10, Manchester City and Manchester United will face off in the league.

After advancing to the semi-finals, Manchester City continued to soar in the league, Dick knew that this was not the time to take a breath, but the advantage for them was that before the next game against Manchester United, the three opponents in the league were not strong, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal had already played, and their last biggest opponent was only one Manchester United!

Manchester United also gritted their teeth and chased Manchester City tightly in the league, and Ferguson also knew that this was not the time to take a breathbreak!

In the 33rd round of the league, Manchester City defeated West Bromwich Albion 4-2 at home, and Manchester United beat Wigan Athletic 2-1 away with a part of the main force hidden, such a victory allowed Manchester City to continue to lead by five points, and the league title is getting closer and closer to them.

In the 34th round of the league, in the case of the upcoming Champions Cup, Manchester City still let most of the main players play, and finally they beat Everton 2-1 away, while Ferguson let all the main players play, and they finally swept Tottenham Hotspur 5-2 at home, laying the foundation for the next decisive battle!

On April 30, Manchester City will challenge Manchester United away!

In this game, Manchester United played a perfect game at home, they almost completely blocked Manchester City's attack throughout the game, coupled with Van der Sar's excellent play and a certain amount of luck, Manchester City had a shot on the crossbar, while Torres's close stab in the penalty area was miraculously saved by Van der Sar, Manchester United relied on Rooney's hit to complete the only goal, Manchester United beat Manchester City 1-0 at home, and won the first leg!

It was City's first defeat in the Champions League this season! They won four and drew two in the group stage, and after reaching the knockout rounds, they eliminated Inter Milan and Villarreal with two wins and two draws, but in this game, Manchester United showed their top quality and handed Manchester City their first defeat in the Champions League!

When the game was over, Manchester United fans celebrated the victory frantically, winning at home, although only one goal was won, but it did not allow Manchester City to score, and in the next game on the road, as long as they can score one goal, then Manchester City will have to score three to be able to reverse Manchester United!

This kind of score is actually very advantageous for the home team, in the two legs, it is very important not to concede a goal at home, and now Manchester United's defense is also quite good, with top defenders, plus their attack is also strong, if they are scored at Manchester City's home stadium, it is really difficult to score three goals for Manchester United......

For this game, Dick also has his own ideas, in this game, the two sides can be described as evenly matched, and the state is also very good, but in the game, Manchester United has almost done a drop of water in defense, whether it is Manchester City's front trident, or Yaya Toure and Vidal in the back row, or even Alves and Barnes who are inserted in the assist, any kind of offensive method is focused on by Manchester United, and on offense, it is relying on the cooperation of Rooney and Ronaldo to complete the final blow, This approach is already very close to the top Serie A teams, first using defense to make themselves invincible, and then using the individual play of the attacking superstar to kill with one hit!

This kind of tactic is a bit outdated in Dick's opinion, after all, the personal ability of the players is now very close, but it is such a slightly outdated tactic that allows Manchester United to take the lead in this game, I have to say that it is Rooney and Ronaldo's personal ability that plays a key role!

After this game, in the next 35th round of the league, Manchester City suffered their second defeat in the league this season, they lost 1-2 away to Tottenham Hotspur, while Manchester United also beat Middlesbrough 2-0 away, such a win and one loss, so that the gap between Manchester United and Manchester City has narrowed to two points!

Almost in an instant, Manchester City, which was in a good situation, reached the point where it was embattled and in danger!

With only two points left in the league and a game against Manchester United, the Champions League will be out of the Champions League if they can't beat their opponents at home......

Many people have even imagined the next scenario - Manchester City could not beat Manchester United at home, was eliminated by Manchester United, and then lost to Manchester United again in the league in disappointment, and was overtaken by Manchester United, Manchester United won the league title and the Champions Cup, completely suppressed Manchester City!

Of course, this is the scene that Manchester United fans are beginning to look forward to, although Manchester City fans are worried, but at this time, they still give Manchester City great support and motivation!

Even Mansour called Dick, saying that he was very satisfied with Dick's two seasons of coaching, and even if he did not win a title this season, he would continue to let Dick continue to coach at Manchester City.

Dick's reply was, "Thank you, boss." ”

Either way, Dick never lost faith.

"Our situation may be a bit bad in the Champions League, but don't forget, in the league we still have an advantage! Although we lost the game in the last round, but that game was the best time for both sides, the next game, Manchester United can not be in such a good state, anyway, we still have a huge advantage in the league, what we have to do now is to win Manchester United at home, and then enter the final of the Champions Cup, then all the difficulties and controversies will be solved! ”

"In the first leg of the game, both of us performed perfectly, but such a perfect performance is unlikely to happen again, after all, players are not machines, it is impossible to perform perfectly all the time, so in the second leg of the game, the important thing is not defense, but attack - this, we must keep in mind, there will be a lot of goals in this game, we don't expect 2-0 to kill Manchester United and such a thing, we have to be ready to score a lot of goals, what we have to do is no matter how many goals we score, At least we're going to score two more than Manchester United! ”

Dick waved his fist at the team meeting and said that the game has reached this point, it can be said that it has reached the most critical moment, for which he hid most of the main players in the midweek league, and let the main players save their energy to concentrate on this game, no matter what, they must also bring this game into a goal battle, so that the game can enter a rhythm that Manchester City is more familiar with!

Manchester City are now the most attacking team in the Premier League, they have now scored 90 goals - this number is far more than any other team, and it seems that scoring more than 100 goals this season will not be too much of a problem, except for Manchester City, the team with the most goals is Liverpool, who have only scored 69, while Manchester United have scored 65 goals, which is more than 20 goals less than Manchester City.

Therefore, if this game is included in the rhythm of the goal shootout, then it will be more beneficial for Manchester City.

'What we have to do now is to surprise Ferguson in the game and if we concede a goal in the game, don't worry, we just have to worry about not scoring and not conceding a goal...... Attack in the game, be bold and when the game is over, if we have two more goals than Manchester United, then it will be us! ”

In the news silence, Manchester City spent the most difficult week, for this silence, many media believe that Manchester City has begun to be nervous, after all, the current situation, is very beneficial to Manchester United, if Manchester City can not win Manchester United next, they will suffer a heavy setback on both fronts - such a situation, which Manchester City has hardly encountered, and it is also a situation that has never occurred since Dick took charge of Manchester City!

In such a situation, it is time to test Dick and Manchester City.

May 6 finally arrived as scheduled, and Manchester City fans rushed to the City Stadium early, waiting for the start of the game with some trepidation.

Two hours before the start of the game, the media got their hands on the starting line-ups for both sides.

An hour before the start of the game, fans also began to know the starting lineups of both sides.

From the moment of knowing Manchester City's starting lineup, an incomparably loud cheer began to resound in the sky above the city stadium!

Goalkeeper Hart, defenders Alves, Kompany, Samuel, Barnes, midfielders Yaya Toure, Vidal, Ashley Young, Ribery, forwards Torres, Di Natale!

Not four-three-three, but four-four-two-two, or four-two-four, Dick sent two wing attackers in the game, plus two excellent strikers, and set up a strong offensive formation!

The mentality of breaking the kettle has been shown from the beginning! Manchester City wants to play to the last minute with attack in this game, and decide their fate with goals!

Although I don't know what the next ending will be, the momentum shown by Manchester City is enough to make Manchester City fans feel sincerely happy!

Dick didn't choose to be conservative, but chose a vigorous confrontation!
