3.032 The most important derby

Inter Milan is still a little threatening, in the 75th minute, Inter Milan left corner kick, Pazzini's close-range attack was blocked by Neuer on the ground, Milito pushed his right foot from 4 meters away from the goal in the penalty area melee, and the ball flew into the door! 1-o, Inter equalized the aggregate score!

Inter, who had taken the lead, continued to attack and tried to score another goal. Li Chengfeng didn't want to let his opponent be so arrogant, it was time for them to recognize their strength. He replaced Vidal with Luka Modric, increased the ability to advance in the midfield, and attacked against each other, to contain Inter's offensive momentum, and the game on the field became more exciting.

In the 77th minute, Modric's long-range shot was saved by Cesar. In the 81st minute, Guarin's long-range shot was also blocked by Neuer. In the 84th minute, McConn's free kick from 25 meters from the goal on the left side of the field was hoisted into the back corner and was saved by Neuer. In the 85th minute, Inter Milan crossed from the left, and Guarin headed the ball on the line of the small penalty area, but the ball was unbelievably high! In the 87th minute, McConn's free kick from outside the box went high.

The first to break the deadlock was Manchester City, when the game entered injury time, Kroos made a long pass from the backfield, and substitute Hazard stopped the ball behind his back and turned to shoot with his left foot, and the ball flew into the bottom corner of the goal! 1-1!

The Meazza Stadium fell silent and everyone knew what the goal meant. The game is now over, with Inter trailing on aggregate and needing two goals in the remaining time to progress thanks to City's away goal, no one thought they could do it, and even Inter's most loyal fans were in despair.

Only the players on the pitch were still holding on, and they went on a frantic attack. But there really wasn't time, and although in the last minute, Pazzini created a penalty and a red card, but the game ended after Pazzini scored the penalty, and Inter Milan were eliminated due to a lack of away goals.

The elimination of Inter Milan did not take much of City's strength, but Bale's injury and Neuer's red card prevented them from playing in the next knockout game against Bayern, which was a huge blow for Manchester City. Bayern are not an easy opponent, especially on the wings, with the combination of Ribery and Arjen Robben proving champions, and without Bale, will Manchester City be able to play against them? Li Chengfeng was not sure.

The next league game against Chelsea was much easier than Li Chengfeng had imagined, and Chelsea did not give full play to the next league game against Manchester City. They have also had a poor league season and will find it difficult to qualify for next season's Champions League, or if winning the Champions League is a more realistic goal.

In the first leg of the Champions League, they lost away to Marseille and manager Villas-Boas was sacked afterwards, with Chelsea legend Roberto Di Matteo as interim manager. In the last game, Chelsea fought hard to eliminate Marseille after 12o minutes of fierce battle, and their physical strength was much worse than Manchester City, not to mention that they were still away from home in this game.

Manchester City won 2-1 at home to Chelsea II to secure a one-point gap to Manchester United.

However, Manchester City's championship situation is still not optimistic, in order to be able to concentrate on the league, Ferguson's old fox decisively gave up the Europa League and FA Cup, and Manchester City is still dragged down by the Champions League, more people are optimistic that Manchester United can win the championship.

Perhaps they were right, because of the impact of the Champions Cup and injuries, Manchester City only won one draw and two defeats in the next three English league games, not only by Manchester United, who won three consecutive games during the period, but also fell behind by seven points. Giving up the league failed to make a breakthrough in the Champions League, Manchester City was beaten by Bundesliga hegemon Bayern in two legs, and Mourinho avenged the loss to Li Chengfeng in the Champions Cup final two years ago.

Losing to Bayern is completely unskilled, and the outstanding performances of Ribery and Robben are the biggest reliance on the opponent's promotion, while on Manchester City's side, Bale is also injured. There is no way to compete with Bayern's wing with only one Royce, and the result is that Manchester City's right side was blown up by Ribery, and the main goalkeeper Neuer was banned, Manchester City lost 1:4 in two rounds, which can be said to be a complete defeat.

Maybe Bale is not injured and Neuer is not suspended, the result will be different, but it can only be if, Manchester City bid farewell to this season's Champions League, and can finally put all their energy into the league.

"Seven points is not a big deal, we will chase it back." Li Chengfeng swore that he made a bold statement, but no one believed him.

Manchester City at full strength were terrible, and the first unlucky one was West Bromwich Albion, who lost 4-o-4 in Manchester. Manchester United, on the other hand, missed out on losing to Wigan as City closed the gap to four points. There is also a head-to-head meeting between the two teams, and perhaps that game will determine the final championship of the season.

Manchester United also apparently saw the 36th round of derby as a battle to decide the English champions, and they even opted to rotate their previous league game against Everton for this game, which ended in a 4-4 draw with their opponents.

City are now just two points behind Manchester United and will regain the initiative if they win the derby.

Li Chengfeng sent the strongest squad in such a game, and although Bale continued to be sidelined due to injury, Tevez's return made up for this shortcoming. And with Tevez and Ferguson's feud, he will definitely do his best to pull Manchester United down.

The same is true for Manchester United, who made several key players in the last round, Phil Jones, Smalling, Park Ji-sung and Ryan Giggs. Both sides have put out the strongest line-ups, and they must win this most important game.

United took the lead, just two minutes into the game, when Neuer barely saved from a scuffle from a corner and Carrick's volley from 1o yards was blocked by Kompany. In the 6th minute, Zabaleta passed the ball and David Silva's left-footed shot in front of the box was blocked by Smalling.

In the ninth minute, Rooney's cross from the right was blocked by Kompany with a header from 12 yards.

Manchester City's home advantage continues to put pressure on Manchester United. In the 15th minute, Reuss crossed several people down the left and Tevez's cross to Aguero on the right side of the box was intercepted by Phil Jones. In the 19th minute, Kompany was booked for a foul on Wayne Rooney. City came close to opening the scoring in the 25th minute when Lescott's header was deflected wide of the near corner from 1o yards out on the right side of the box. In the 29th minute, Sergio Aguero passed the ball and Yaya Toure's shot in front of the box was deflected wide again.

In the 35th minute, Reus burst into the right side of the box and crossed, Aguero stopped the ball from 1o yards and volleyed wide. One minute later, Tevez's header from inside the box was blocked, and Aguero had an excellent chance to shoot, but Zabaleta turned and fired a low shot that De Gea easily recovered. In the 4o minute, Sergio Aguero forced his shot from a tight angle on the left side of the box and was blocked by Smaring into the near corner. In the 42nd minute, Nani's corner kick was driven to the front point, and Park Ji-sung fired a left-footed shot high from 12 yards.

Manchester City broke the deadlock in first-half stoppage time when David Silva headed in a corner, Smalling rose to the top and Kompany headed home from five yards, 1:o!

Seeing this goal, Li Chengfeng's heart calmed down a lot. Manchester City have won all of their previous 15 league home games this season, and are the most terrifying devil's home stadium in Europe.

United tried to counter-attack in the second half, but were unable to threaten, and City's defence was solid to neutralize the Reds' attack.

In the 53rd minute, Toure was booked for a foul on Ryan Giggs on the wing. In the 58th minute, Manchester United cleared a corner, Toure passed, and Reuss fired a diagonal shot from 18 yards on the right side of the penalty area. In the 62nd minute, Toure's cross from the left side of the box was blocked by De Gea with his leg before Lescott.

Tevez had some fitness problems, his training in Argentina was not as systematic as in Europe, and he returned late, so he never recovered enough to play the full game. In addition, the opponent in this game is Manchester United, and he is running too aggressively, so that he is now a little unable to run. So in the 68th minute, Li Chengfeng replaced Tevez with De Jong and strengthened the defense.

In the 69th minute, Phil Jones tackled Toure and was booked. In the 72nd minute, David Silva passed the ball and Toure broke through to the right and fired a powerful shot wide of the near corner from 2o yards. In the 77th minute, De Jong was booked for a foul on Welbeck. In the 78th minute, Zabaleta passed the ball and Aguero burst into the right side of the box and fired a shot from a tight angle into the side netting. Valencia replaces Paul Scholes. Carrick was also booked for a foul on Toure.

In the 82nd minute, Zabaleta's header was deflected wide and Yaya Toure broke through to the arc of the box and fired a left-footed shot wide of the left-hand post.

Towards the end of the second half, United still had no dangerous shots on target, and Ferguson made a last-ditch effort to bring on Ashley Young for Nani, but nothing changed as City's defence was impeccable.

The final battle ended with a victory for Manchester City, who finally recovered a seven-point gap and reversed Manchester United back to the top of the table. With the final two rounds of the league remaining, Manchester City are in charge of their own destiny.

In the final two rounds of the league, Manchester City's opponents are Newcastle and Queens Park Rangers, one is fighting for Champions League qualification in the top four of the league, and the other is fighting for relegation, which are not easy opponents to deal with, while Manchester United's opponents are Sunderland and Swansea, who have no desire to do so. Manchester City's fixtures are even tougher, and it's far from time to celebrate. If they are successfully overturned by Manchester United in the end, then not many people will remember Manchester City's glory of beating Manchester United twice this season, they will only remember the English title this season.

has already fought to this time, Li Chengfeng doesn't want to be a laughing stock, he just wants the championship. At this point, Manchester City's players have the same idea as Li Chengfeng, and the previous 7-point gap can be reversed, which makes them full of confidence and fighting spirit.
