Chapter 721: Fierce League Competition
Manchester City's defeat has become almost a holiday for the whole of England!
Almost all the media are pouring out their firepower to cover the news!
Manchester City's first defeat of the season!! Manchester United's chance has come!! 》
"The battle for the league championship has entered a white-hot stage!! 》
David Moyes: I'm the decider of the league title! 》
The front page of the media in England was almost entirely occupied by Manchester City's defeat at Merseyside!
"In the match between Manchester City and Chelsea, the two managers who clashed were both sent off to the stands and suffered a suspension, the first two suspensions, Manchester City performed well, they won two percent, but in the away game against Everton, in the last game of Gao Bo's suspension, Manchester City still failed to continue the win on the road, they lost 2-1 to their opponents, which is also the first time Manchester City have lost in the league this season!!"
'Manchester City's defeat may have come as a relief to Arsenal as they have maintained their unbeaten record of the season, and this defeat has given Manchester United and Chelsea an opportunity. In this round of the league, Manchester United will host Reading, it can be said that Manchester United has a very high probability of winning, while Chelsea is at home to West Ham United, this is a London derby, Mourinho's team also has a chance to win at home! If Manchester City loses and Manchester United and Chelsea win, Manchester City will only have a one-point lead over Manchester United, and Chelsea will catch up and they will narrow the gap with Manchester City to four points!! The battle for the Premier League title has become more intense than ever at the end of the season! ”
Sky Sports said in the report.
.........
"Manchester City lost? It's a great thing for us, but it's not over yet, it's not time to celebrate. Gao Bo is a difficult opponent and this time he lost while he was suspended for Manchester City, but when the next round of the league starts, we won't have such a good chance. ”
In his pre-match press conference for Manchester United's game against Reading, Pep Guardiola was also asked about City's defeat.
"About the league champions? I don't think we will have a clear result until after the Manchester derby, but luckily it's on our home turf and our opponents have a long way to go. ”
Guardiola shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Manchester United was eliminated by Real Madrid, and Guardiola was also quite helpless, he really couldn't understand why he was also in the first year of the team, and why Manchester City's run-in period was so short. And what about Manchester United? Now Manchester United can only take care of one front first.
Next season!
Next season is the time for Manchester United to go all out!!
Pep Guardiola thought.
.......
At the same time, Jose Mourinho was speaking to reporters in front of Chelsea's training base.
Jose Mourinho is still suspended, so he didn't attend the pre-match press conference at all, but that doesn't mean he won't speak out.
'We were seven points behind Manchester City, so what? Now we've cut the difference down to four points!! ”
Mourinho pouted.
'Chelsea don't necessarily win against West Ham?'
A reporter reminded.
In this regard, Mourinho said recklessly: "Then let's wait and see! ”
.....
In fact, Manchester United and Chelsea played at home and did not have too much trouble.
Manchester United beat Reading 3-0.
Chelsea, on the other hand, beat West Ham 2-1!!
Manchester City's loss, the chasers behind it immediately caught up!!
After 29 rounds of the league, Manchester City is ranked first with 24 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss, with 76 points, while Manchester United is 24 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, and ranks second with 75 points, and Chelsea, with 23 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses, and 32 points in third.
Behind the top three in the league are Villas-Boas' Tottenham Hotspur, who have 16 wins, 6 draws and 7 defeats, and are fourth with only 54 points, followed by Arsenal in fifth place with 53 points, followed by Everton in sixth place, with 50 points, and seventh place belongs to Liverpool, who have only 48 points after 29 league games......
The gap between these teams and the top three is very clear!
.......
Due to the loss in the league, the original one-day vacation was canceled by Gao Bo.
It was a good situation before, but after the loss, it took a sharp turn for the worse.
If you look at the media reports, it seems as if Manchester City is now in danger and the top of the league table may be lost at any time.
And within Manchester City, the players are starting to feel nervous.
Manchester United is attached to their backs, and if they are not careful, they may be overtaken by their opponents!!
The league title, this is a must for the team this season!!
The same is true for Gao Bo.
On the second day of training, Gao Bo's face was black, and the relaxed atmosphere on the previous training ground became a little heavy.
.......
March 30th!
Round 30 of the League!!
Manchester City host Newcastle!
In this game, Gao Bo returned after suspension and reappeared in the team's coach's box.
Due to the need to prepare for the Champions League quarter-final away game against Juventus in four days' time, the football emperor has rotated to a certain extent!
Gao Bo put on a 442 formation, Vardy and Dzeko partnered up front, Milner, Barry, Casemiro, Denis Suarez in the midfield, Zabaleta, Maguire, Lescott, Luke Shaw in the back!
The goalkeeper is still Oblak!
When seeing such a lineup, many people are sweating for Manchester City.
The last league game was lost, and Manchester City can't afford to lose this league anyway.
In such a situation, Gao Bo also carried out such a large rotation..... Quite bold indeed.
Newcastle still have some ideas after seeing such a squad as Manchester City, coupled with Manchester City's defeat in the last round of the league.
But their ideas were soon shattered.
The seventh minute of the game!
Manchester City scored!
Dzeko chested the ball back and set up a cannon for Vardy.
Vardy wasn't polite either, he immediately seized his chance and volleyed with his right foot!
The ball refracted on the defender's foot and flew into the goal!!
City soon took the lead.
Manchester City, who scored first, were firmly in control of the game.
In the twentieth minute of the first half, Manchester City scored again.
Milner tried a long-range shot from outside the box and found the net through Newcastle again!
The rest of the game was completely in the hands of Manchester City.
In the forty-first minute, Barry scored!
In the sixty-third minute, Dzeko scored!
In the seventy-eighth minute, Vardy scored twice!
In the 89th minute, Zabaleta scored from distance!!
Six to zero!
After suffering a loss, Manchester City immediately declared their form with a 6-0 victory!
