Manchester City had to win, and Li Chengfeng lined up a 4-3-3 attacking formation, with youngster Tony Kroos coming on in the midfield position to sort out the attack. This is the first time that Li Chengfeng has put him as the playmaker in such an important game, but he believes in the quality of Kloss, which is also a reward for his hard training during this time, and he believes that Kloss can help Manchester City win against opponents with his knowledge of his parent club Bayern Munich. Young people just need to go through these challenges more often in order to thrive.

Bayern Munich also adopted a 4-3-3 formation, but as Li Chengfeng expected, Mourinho did not attach importance to this game, and their absolute main force Ribery, Robben, Lahm and others did not play, and the intention to give up was very obvious.

Jose Mourinho's kindness Li Chengfeng laughed at it, and with goals from Luka Modric and Reus, Manchester City beat Bayern Munich 2-O at home and finished second in the group. And poor Napoli, even if they beat Villarreal in the last round, they can still only play in the Europa League.

The unlucky ones are Manchester United, Li Chengfeng would never have thought that they would lose on a team like Basel. Manchester United lost 2-1 away to their opponents and handed over the right to qualify. Now, Manchester United can concentrate on the league, which may be bad news for Manchester City.

Manchester City, who have paid too much in the Champions League, lost away to Chelsea, and Villas-Boas avenged his defeat to Li Chengfeng in the Europa League final last season. Villas-Boas is also a very capable coach, and the defeat to Li Chengfeng last season was more due to the lack of quality of the team, and now he has a stronger platform, and it is not surprising to beat Manchester City, who are not at their best.

However, Li Chengfeng is not optimistic about Boas's prospects at Chelsea, his personality is too strong, not much worse than Mourinho, and even not as good as Mourinho will get along with the players, but his work at Chelsea focuses on youthful reform, which will inevitably touch the interests of the team's veterans. And if he does it too radically, he will inevitably get the egg.

Boas was still too young and had no experience in dealing with complex relationships, and Abu was a very ego boss. Li Chengfeng can assert that Villas-Boas's transformation of Chelsea is bound to fail, and he will not even be sacked until the end of the season.

But that's also a matter of the future, this game Manchester City lost is lost, Manchester United took the opportunity to close the gap, now they are only 2 points away from Manchester City, a distance that may be crossed at any time, plus they have no Champions League drag, more people are optimistic that they can win the English championship this season, and Manchester City, one is the drag of the Champions League, the other is the lack of experience in winning the championship, if Manchester United can bite tightly, can these young people of Manchester City withstand such pressure without collapsing?

Whether Manchester City will collapse Li Chengfeng doesn't know, he only knows that he is about to collapse, and now his family has repeatedly asked him to find a partner as soon as possible, and he also gave an ultimatum that if he can't bring someone home this Spring Festival, don't go home.

Of course, Li Chengfeng knew that this was just an angry talk, but he couldn't ignore it, he was already unfilial enough, and he couldn't always let his parents worry about him. But who can I find, I'm busy like a dog, how can I have the opportunity to fall in love, this is not the CM world.

There was a knock on the door, and Li Chengfeng saw Wen Shuting who pushed the door in, and her eyes lit up, she would definitely not refuse to help herself.

Li Chengfeng had a very easy time during this winter break, and the performance of several teams was normal, and there was no need for too many operations, which made Li Chengfeng a lot less troubled. Norka's results were tepid and stable in the middle of the stream. Como has built up a deep squad over the past few seasons, the league has been stable in the European places, and the Europa League has also finished second in the group, bringing Li Chengfeng an additional million euros.

Birmingham are now also stable in the upgrade zone, which makes Li Chengfeng the happiest. However, Birmingham head coach Gary Monk also wants a midfielder who can directly threaten the midfielder in the opposition penalty area. Now Birmingham's attack is mostly from the wing, and several midfielders in the middle are tough defensively, but players with limited offensive ability, once the opponent is targeted, it will be a little difficult to play, that is, the overall strength of Birmingham's players is strong enough to break the opponent's arrangement to a certain extent.

Ying's promotion quota involves tens of millions of pounds of actual benefits, Li Chengfeng didn't want any surprises, he agreed to Munch's request, and decided to bring another person from Como.

Dutch-Chinese teenager Zhong Tahi can play any position in the front court and has excellent talent. There's also Italian midfielder Grassi, who defends well, has a strong sense of moving forward, and has a long-range shot, although his passing ability is a bit weak, but it is a better immediacy.

Monk opted for Grassi, a traditional England coach who prefers a straight-up style of play and, in his opinion, Tahith Chung is too young, there are already a lot of young people in the squad, and the 25-year-old Grassi is more trustworthy.

Then, there was no then, and Li Chengfeng rarely spent a quiet winter break.

However, for Manchester City's players, they are not as big as Li Chengfeng. The pressure to stay ahead is enormous, especially when there are opponents like Manchester United in the driver's seat. Manchester City missed out in the round of 18 and played an O:O away at West Bromwich Albion, while United declared their title ambitions with a 5:O victory. Although Manchester City is still ahead of Manchester United because of the goal difference, almost everyone believes that Manchester United's title is almost secure.

Li Chengfeng didn't want to admit defeat, but Manchester City's players obviously didn't have a big heart like him, even if there were so many championship players, they couldn't change the nervousness of those young people, and they couldn't help but think of the horror of being dominated by Manchester United.

With such a mentality, it is obviously not good to play football, and Manchester City lost to a team like Sunderland at a relegation level. This defeat is completely the death of the players themselves, they are like headless flies on the field, they look vigorous, but there is no cooperation, no trust, no self-confidence.

Li Chengfeng's loud reminder on the sidelines could not make these young people return to normal, and they could only watch them lose to their opponents.

Manchester City's problems are obvious, everyone thought that Manchester United would regain the league table position in this round, but what no one expected was that the always stable Manchester United also missed, they were conceded three goals at home by Blackburn Rovers in the relegation zone, which was worse than Manchester City.

Manchester United are not human beings, they make mistakes just like us. So what reason do we have to think that we can't succeed? Li Chengfeng gave Manchester City's players a boost to cheer them up and challenge for the English title.

It is true that young people will be easily affected by external factors and have ups and downs in their state, but they are also the most motivated people, and it is easy to be aroused to their full strength. In the 2o round of the league, Manchester City's youngsters withstood the pressure and won 3:O at home against Liverpool.

In this game, Li Chengfeng sent most of the main team, but the Liverpudlians chose to give up, and their soul man, captain Steven Gerrard, did not play. Maybe they feel that the league has no chance and want to put all their strength into the cup competition.

Of course, Li Chengfeng will not let go of such an opportunity, and as soon as the game began, Manchester City attacked directly.

Gerrard's absence has a very serious impact on Liverpool, he is not only the captain of Liverpool, but also the totem of the Red Army's spirit, his absence directly lowered the Liverpool people's will to fight by a level, and Manchester City easily controlled the situation on the field.

In the first minute of the game, Manchester City took the lead. Kuyt was tackled at the back, David Silva passed the ball and Aguero volleyed in under Reina from 25 yards.

City added another goal in the 33rd minute when David Silva headed in a corner and Yaya Toure headed in before Glen Johnson and the ball hit the crossbar and into the net.

Liverpool, who are two goals behind, has no intention of struggling, and seems to have accepted the result of the away defeat very indifferently, even in the 73rd minute, De Jong was sent off for two yellow cards for fouling Ager, and the Liverpudlians did not take the opportunity to counterattack, but in the 75th minute, Manchester City won another penalty. Yaya Toure burst into the left side of the box and was brought down by Skrtel, and Milner, who has not played much this season, converted the penalty to make it 3-O.

3:o was also the final score of the game, and with the Liverpudlians giving up, Manchester City once again scored a big victory.

Now, the pressure is on Manchester United. As it turns out, Manchester United's players are human and they make mistakes just as well. In this crucial game, Manchester United suffered a heavy defeat to Newcastle, which is not a strong team, at O:3, allowing Manchester City to extend the gap to three points again. The fierce competition has only just begun, and Li Chengfeng does not think that Manchester City will definitely lose.

For the sake of the league, Li Chengfeng gave up the FA Cup. I don't know who has such bad luck, Manchester City's first appearance in the FA Cup against opponents like Manchester United. Now that Manchester City is already fighting on the third line, Li Chengfeng doesn't want to increase the burden on the team, so it is better to throw the burden to Manchester United.

Manchester City fielded their entire rotation for this game, but Manchester United were no better and they also rotated several key players. In such a contest that both sides are willing to get rid of, it was Manchester City, who came on all the substitutes, who were superior in skills, and they lost the game 2-3, throwing off the burden as they wished.

However, Manchester United is not ambiguous, they don't want to affect their championship cause because of the FA Cup, so they sent it out cleanly in the next round and got rid of this burden.
