Chapter 414: Challenging Manchester City Again
"That's fine, it's on me!"
Costa, who had begun to resume training, glanced at Jones and said, "Jones, have you been hiding something from us lately?" These days you are a lot of contemplation when you are alone, as if something important is to be decided. ”
Jones grabbed his hair and said, "No, no." ”
Costa seemed to think of something, and asked in a low voice, "Is it something about your love?" Are you going to break up with Stella? In addition to playing football, you have something to do with Stella, could it be that there is a third party involved between the two of you! ”
Jones's mouth opened slightly: "What nonsense are you talking about, there is nothing!" ”
Costa looked at Jones, who was surprised, and said with a smile: "Boy, am I from here, woman!" It's time to change it! ”
"Say, who is the third party?"
Jones looked up at him and said, "Not what you think!" ”
Costa said incredulously, "What is that?" What else is there besides this! ”
"Okay, I said, I feel that our relationship is getting better and better, and I want to propose to her!"
"Marriage proposal?? Oh God, you're only 18 years old! Do you just don't want to play for a few more years and change a few more? Decided to get married so soon? ”
"Yes, this thing is not based on age."
"Oh! …… God, how can you think that? Oh...... No, I mean how long have you been together? ”
"Does it have anything to do with how long we've been together!?"
Costa looked up at his teammates and exclaimed, "Brothers! Big news! Big news, Jones actually wants to propose to Stella! ……”
"What?"
"Propose?"
"Wouldn't it? Are you kidding? ”
The teammates gathered around, and Jones said helplessly: "It's true, I didn't want to tell you, since you know, then you can think about how to propose to me!" ”
Captain Cahill asked, "You've really thought it through, you're still young, don't be impulsive!" ”
"I'm not impulsive, and my heart doesn't lie, I'm sure, I'm married to Stella!"
"In that case, we can't do it hastily, we have to think about it in the long run......

Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it is the match day of the 29th round of the Premier League.
Chelsea's opponents in this round are Manchester City, they came to Manchester a day early, there are many teams in Manchester, Manchester United and Manchester City are more well-known, and other football clubs in Manchester include, Wigan Athletic, Bolton, Oldham, Stoke Harbour, in addition, Burley, Rochdale and other clubs.
Although Chelsea currently sit at the top of the table, Manchester City are only six points behind and could be replaced by Manchester City if they slip up.
In the remaining games, they can only win all of them to take the initiative into their own hands.
Manchester City is at the point of being suppressed by Chelsea this season, and the League Cup title was also snatched away by Chelsea, and now Manchester is greeted by posters all over the streets of Chelsea, defending the glory of the home stadium and winning against Chelsea!
It's March 4th, and at 3pm, the 29th round of the Premier League, Manchester City and Chelsea, is about to start.
In terms of the line-up for both sides, Manchester City's absolute mainstay and midfielder Fernandinho has missed the league game against Arsenal due to a hamstring injury and it remains to be seen whether he will be available for the weekend's highlight against Chelsea.
Manchester City's alternative in midfield, centre-back Delph, is still suspended from a red card, and Pep Guardiola's response to the injury in midweek was to put Gundogan in the middle, and the change paid off.
In addition, Manchester City's main winger Raheem Sterling is expected to return at the weekend after missing the Carabao Cup final and one league game, and Bernardo Silva is also available as a reserve option in the winger position if he fails to return in time.
For Chelsea, Chord Kodic is expected to continue to partner Danny Drinkwater alongside N'Golo Kante in a back two, while Willian, who has been in the hottest form of the squad recently, will continue to start as a right winger.
The main problem that plagues Cordic comes from the injury of Costa, who is in the front trident, but there are also Eden Hazard and Jones in the squad, as well as Willian, who has exploded in form recently, and even after entering 2018, Willian and Pedro, Giroud and others have to earn for the main position?
However, this is a key battle in this round of the league, a direct confrontation between the first and second in the league, and a key game for Manchester City to win the championship! ”

"Fans and friends, I am now in Manchester City's home stadium at the Etihad Stadium, and my friends and I will be broadcasting this crucial Premier League match live for you!" The host said to the camera.
