"The trophy looter started his plundering in the Premier League...... In a match that just ended, Manchester City beat Chelsea 2-1 to win the League Cup this season! This is also Dick's first title after taking charge of Manchester City, I have to say that Manchester City's new owner Mansour hired Dick as the club's head coach at a high price, and gave him enough transfer funds and power, it is a good practice, Dick immediately won the first title for Manchester City after returning to the Premier League, and he deserves to be the most championship-winning manager after the arrival of the 21st century......"

When Dick and his players returned to Manchester with the Carabao Cup, Manchester City fans welcomed the return of a title for the first time in six years - although this scene is commonplace for Manchester United fans, but this is a scene that Manchester City fans rarely encounter, so they are very enthusiastic to welcome the Manchester City players back to Manchester, and welcome the arrival of this championship with their utmost enthusiasm!

You know, the last champion they welcomed back was the former League One and the current Championship champions......

"It's the first, but it won't be the last, I'm sure!"

Dick shouted at all the Manchester City fans: "I'm here to make history, trust me!" ”

In this way, the Manchester City fans at the scene let out even louder cheers.

But it's not too hard for a club like Manchester City to make history, because they have a lot of history to make – they only have one European Cup Winners' Cup, the last time they won the league was 39 years ago, the FA Cup was 38 years ago, the League Cup was last won 31 years ago – and now Dick has broken Manchester City's record of 31 years without an English national title, and every time he wins it, it is an embarrassing end to Manchester City.

And this championship has also given a wake-up call to all the giants of the Premier League - pay attention, Dick is here, this guy who has been snatching all kinds of championships like a madman in the past seven years, and now he is coming to the Premier League to grab the championship, everyone be careful, and be optimistic about their honor room......

After this game, Manchester City welcomed Everton in the league.

3-0, Manchester City easily defeated Everton in the middle of the table at home, Di Natale showed his true colors as a master of abuse, two goals allowed him to continue to maintain the advantage in the top scorer list, Samuel scored the icing on the cake, Di Natale's league goals reached twenty-three, now second-ranked Cristiano Ronaldo has only twenty goals, three goals behind Di Natale, Adebayo is only eighteen, five goals behind Di Natale, changed the usual, Such a goal was enough for Di Natale to be the top scorer......

And such data has allowed Di Natale to tie a record - the player who scored the most goals in his first season after joining the Premier League was Dutch goalscorer Ruud van Nistelrooy, who scored 23 goals in his Premier League debut season, which is the previous record, and Di Natale has equaled such a record - the previously unknown Di Natale broke out as soon as he arrived in the Premier League, which really made many people feel incredible, he scored in almost every game, and only a few games did not score, And he has only scored three goals so far, the other goals have been scored one by one, and more importantly, none of the 23 goals have been penalized, none of them have been scored in the open game, and Di Natale's performance has really surprised many people......

With eleven games to go before the end of the Premier League, Di Natale has set a new record, which can almost be said to be a certainty.

And in this round of games, Arsenal suffered a miserable draw away from home, they were tied by Manchester United, which also made Manchester City's advantage begin to expand to four points, with the start of the next Champions Cup, Manchester City's advantage, will definitely become bigger and bigger, and then in the league their biggest test is only Chelsea and Liverpool, and then as long as Manchester City performs well, to win their first top league title in 38 years, it will no longer be a problem!

And in the next two league games, Manchester City showed their mature side.

Facing Wigan Athletic and Reading in succession, two teams that are not very strong, but are known for their rudeness and ferocity, Manchester City showed their mature side, they did not attack blindly, but continued to consume the opponent's physical energy with passing, although Manchester City still do not have a top midfield handicap, but their technical ability is still okay, especially against weaker opponents, they can also play with good ease.

In these two rounds of the league, Manchester City did not play beautifully, but they both won, the game against Wigan Athletic, after entanglement for most of the half, Torres sealed the throat with a sword, 1-0 to beat the opponent, and in the game against Reading, it was first used a set-piece by the back of the central defender Samuel to head the lead to take the lead, and then in the second half relied on a counterattack, Di Natale scored the 24th league goal of the season and won the victory!

The fact that these two games were not good to look at, but they won in the end, which is very important for Manchester City, especially for Dick, it is also a good opportunity to test the team, and there will be more such solid wins next season, so that they can perform equally well on several fronts.

After winning these two games in a row, Manchester City's points have reached seventy-one points, and in these two games, their biggest opponent Arsenal won one and drew one, and was opened up by Manchester City by six points, while Manchester United won two games in a row, consolidating their second place, with a four-point disadvantage in the back of the chase, the situation of Manchester's two heroes has gradually appeared!

The league advantage began to solidify, and the opponent was almost the only one left, Manchester City's morale was quite high, and Mansour, who had not been in charge of things, also took interest, he came to the training ground for the second time after the team was concentrated to watch the players train, and after the training session, invited the whole team to the best local hotel in Manchester for dinner......

At the reception, Mansour took the initiative to toast Dick, expressed his satisfaction with Dick's work this season, and promised the players that if he could win the league title this season, he would add an additional 5 million pounds in prize money, which would be divided equally among all members of the team!

This promise made all the players cheer, playing football is to seek money, and now they can get additional rewards while working hard, naturally no one will refuse, five million pounds, the team's first team plus the coach or something, that is, about 30 people, one person can share a hundred thousand pounds, this money is not small.

After participating in this banquet, the players began to treat the next game with a more positive attitude, and no one dared to have any opinion on Dick's command, after all, everyone saw Dick and Mansour drinking and talking at the banquet, and now in terms of the team, Dick is the number one, and he also has the full support of the boss, at this time to contradict him is to find death, don't you see that Vassell is still in the reserves? It's all moldy......

In midweek, Dick sent all the substitutes, not that he didn't pay attention to the FA Cup game, but that even if the opponent was a dark horse, it was only a second-tier team, and it was more luck to get to this point, or at the home of Manchester City, Dick naturally would not let the main players consume physical strength, and the weekend was the league against Tottenham, for this team that had beaten him, Dick had to hold back to give the other party a good look.

Hull is very tenacious in the away resistance, Dick doesn't know that in fact, in history, this season Hull reached the FA Cup final, is the first non-top league team in the new century to enter the FA Cup final, and finally lost 0-1 to Portsmouth in the final, but even if Hull is tenacious, after all, in terms of overall strength, there is a huge gap with Manchester City......

After stubbornly resisting for half an hour, Hull's defense finally fell, Manchester City's front court tore apart the opponent's defense through a series of passes, Ashley Young broke through the opponent's defenders from the side and then cut into the box, when Hull's defenders focused on the center Sturridge and Ireland and Parker in the back row, Young passed the ball directly to the back point, Bale who followed up in the back row did not stop the ball at a small angle and pushed it directly into the far corner, the ball flew past the fingertips of the Hull goalkeeper, Then it smashed on the inside of the post and bounced into the goal!

1-0, Bale's goal gave Manchester City the lead!

After taking the lead, the second half of the game will be easy to play, the FA Cup game is a decisive victory, and there is no such thing as a situation where you can win away from home and then go to the home stadium to fight, and if you don't attack, you can only watch yourself lose.

It's just that they are still very good defensively, and the counterattack is okay, if they are attacked...... It is also difficult to find any good opportunities from Manchester City's defence, but the problems exposed by their own defence will appear to be even bigger.

Sturridge scored City's second goal shortly after the start of the second half, and such a goal sealed the victory for Manchester City, and it also allowed Manchester City to successfully break out of the quarter-finals and become one of the last four of this season's FA Cup!

And they are also the only top team to reach the semi-finals of the FA Cup this season - if Manchester City is not considered a traditional big four now, then this season will be the first time in the new century that Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea have not reached the FA Cup semi-finals!

"The last time all four teams missed out on the last four of the FA Cup at the same time was 21 years ago...... The semi-finals were Tottenham, Watford, Coventry and Leeds United, but at that time, Tottenham were also giants, so the real season without a big club in the last four had to be traced back to 1975, when West Ham United, Ipswich Town, Fulham and Birmingham – four truly civilian teams dominated the FA Cup...... It's just that if the current Manchester City is not a giant, it is too unacceptable, I have to say that Manchester City is now the biggest favorite to win the FA Cup, there is no one. ”

In addition to Manchester City's defeat to Hull, the two favourites both suffered unexpected defeats, Manchester United's home defeat to fellow Portsmouth could be considered a big upset, and Chelsea's away defeat to Championship side Barnsley was even more incredible - it is clear that Chelsea are starting to have problems now, and Manchester United's defeat is more due to their focus on the league and the Champions League than the FA Cup.

Regardless, it's a fact that Manchester City are the biggest favourites in the FA Cup right now.
