Chapter 1172: Eight Points

After Kuyt's hat-trick gave Liverpool a three-goal lead, Ferguson knew the tide was turning.

With United's current form, it will be difficult to score four goals in the remaining 25 minutes to complete the comeback.

The pressure on Manchester United may have been too great for this game, and in the game against Liverpool, they wanted to win so much that it affected their performance.

Liverpool is not easy to play, and with a very impatient mentality, how can there be a good result?

But Ferguson doesn't think that pressure is on his players.

It's Manchester City.

After the decision to catch up with Manchester City and compete for the league title in the league, the pressure stayed with the United players for a long time.

Ferguson is also very aware of this, but he can't reduce the pressure, in the crucial moment of the league competition, it is normal to have pressure, and it is normal to have a lot of pressure, and it is useless to reduce pressure at this time. The only way is to grit your teeth and get through it, and survive until you win the championship in the end, and the pressure will naturally be gone.

Or just waiting for their rivals to make mistakes on their own will also take the pressure off United.

At the beginning, in the absence of glory, Manchester City was able to make mistakes, such as being held to a draw by Arsenal, a draw by Blackpool, and a draw by Aston Villa......

These games can help relieve the pressure on United.

Manchester United were able to chase the deficit to just two points with their excellent performance.

As soon as the glory returned, Manchester City began to win in a row, and every time City won a game, they put a little pressure on the United players.

As the pressure accumulates, it grows bigger and heavier.

Manchester City beat Manchester United away from home in the city derby, and the pressure has turned into a heavy cloud over the heads of the United players.

There was lightning and thunder in the clouds, as if a downpour might fall on their heads at any moment.

After the defeat to Manchester City, Manchester United beat Wigan Athletic 4-0 in the following league game, but it seems that it was just a sign of the inertia of Manchester United's progress before.

In this game, they met a strong rival, Liverpool, and Manchester United's inertia disappeared.

The pressure turned into a rain of beans, falling densely from the air and smashing on the heads and bodies of every Manchester United player, making them unable to open their eyes or lift their heads.

They were completely out of shape during the game, and even if Ferguson had the hair dryer on fire at half-time, it didn't work.

Ferguson was chewing gum mechanically, the Liverpool fans in the stands at Anfield were cheering, and he could well imagine that the Manchester City fans were cheering at the Manchester City Stadium as well.

In retrospect, what did you do wrong?

Every step was done right.

If you have to say what the problem is...... Ferguson believes the problem is with the Asian Cup.

If the Asian Cup had been a little longer, if the Asian Cup final had not been on 29 January, but on 12 February, United might have beaten Manchester City to finish first.

It's a pity that before that, the glory will return to the team.

His return changed Manchester City forever.

There are nine rounds left in the league and the difference is eight points...... Ferguson couldn't have imagined how he could overtake the glorious Manchester City.

In the 80th minute, Sneijder fired a long-range shot from outside the box to make the score 3-0, and with the remaining ten minutes, Wigan Athletic was basically unable to threaten Manchester City's goal.

Rafa Benitez used up all three substitutions to allow more starters to rest and more substitutes to get more playing time.

Manchester City fans have already started to talk about celebrating the victory.

At Anfield, Manchester United saved a bit of face by scoring a goal in the 89th minute thanks to substitute "Little Pea" Hernandez.

But the ball can also be said to be meaningless. For Manchester United, they don't need face, they need to win, they need to be champions!

Hernandez's goal doesn't bring them wins and titles, and it doesn't mean to eat.

When the game ended, every Manchester United player hung their heads and looked very frustrated.

The Liverpool players were celebrating their victory.

Crushing Manchester United's title hopes with a win at home, their goal has been achieved!

Seeing Manchester United lose their hopes of winning the title, Liverpool fans who are further away from the championship are so happy!

It felt like they had won the championship themselves...... This shows how deep the hatred between the two teams is.

※※※

"It's over!"

Inside the Manchester City Stadium, the referee blew three whistles to announce the end of the game.

Even the Manchester City players on the pitch already knew that United had lost the game, which meant they were eight points ahead of Manchester United.

The hope of winning the championship has increased dramatically, or they are already 90 percent of the way to the championship.

Everyone is happy to be able to defend the league title.

However, the expression on Rongguang's face was not as excited as his teammates, and his smile was very faint, yes, but not obvious, not arrogant.

Because the goal of glory has not been accomplished.

The league championship is just one of them.

For the defense of the title, Rong Guang has never doubted, and he feels that he can definitely do it.

The key is how to defend the title.

Undefeated and defending!

The win was City's 46th consecutive unbeaten run in the league.

There are three games left to beat Arsenal's record and four games to surpass Arsenal's record.

It's all in this season.

The closer you get to the record, the harder it is. So Glory doesn't take it lightly, and now he feels that it's not time to celebrate.

But he only thought about it in his own heart. He didn't sue his teammates. Because now when everyone is celebrating the victory, it is too cold to ask everyone not to be happy too early.

If there is any pressure, just let him carry it on his own.

As for your teammates, just have fun in time.

After the game, the whole of England was debating whether the Premier League title was no longer in suspense.

Manchester United won again after the defeat to Liverpool, and the gap between the two teams ended up being eight points. With City's current form, it will be difficult for United to catch up.

The vast majority of people tend to think that Manchester United are hopeless.

In his post-match press conference, Ferguson insisted that the season was not over.

“…… I know where we are, but I don't think it's bad enough for us to give up. We still have a chance! ”

His statement was ridiculed by the media as a "dead duck with a hard mouth".

"Can Manchester United reverse Manchester City to win the title? Unless the sun comes out of the west! ”

Ferguson just wanted to show that they didn't admit defeat, but it didn't work at all. Whether there is any hope of winning the championship or not, this is no longer up to him......"

Manchester United has dominated the Premier League championship for a long time, and Ferguson is also relatively strong and domineering, so it is not very likable in the circle of reporters, and there are many media who like Dark Ferguson's various domineering behaviors, and now seeing Manchester United unlucky, the media are also gloating.

The media is like this, when they hated Manchester City before, and when they thought it was too easy for Manchester City to win the championship, they cheered for Manchester United, hoping that Manchester United could put pressure on Manchester City and make the league look better.

And now that Manchester United is out of play, he immediately turned on the mockery mode of Manchester United.

It's no wonder that many people don't like them in the media......

Rongguang did not mention the unbeaten league game, but hoped to take the pressure and responsibility on himself, so that his teammates could face the next games with a relaxed mind.

However, he clearly underestimated his teammates.

After the game against Wigan Athletic, the Manchester City players did not let off because they were already eight points clear of Manchester United in the league.

In training they are still very focused and serious.

In fact, everyone hasn't forgotten what Sun Hai asked them to do at the beginning.

Help Glory win the unbeaten record in the league and surpass Arsenal!

With just three games left of that record, why should we fall short at the last minute because of laxity?

After the match against Wigan Athletic, Manchester City welcomed the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie.

This time Manchester City host AC Milan.

But in fact, there is no intention of this game.

AC Milan, who have lost three goals at home, will find it difficult to turn the tables on the road.

The final result was the same, in their home stadium, Manchester City and AC Milan played 0-0, and finally eliminated AC Milan with an aggregate score of 3-0 to advance to the quarter-finals.

The first place in Serie A missed the quarterfinals, which can be regarded as a proof of how declining Serie A is now......

In the thirtieth round of the league, Manchester City and Manchester United won the first league game after the difference between them became eight points.

Manchester United beat Bolton Wanderers 1-0 at home.

After falling behind by eight points, it was really demoralizing for Manchester United, so even if it was at their home stadium, they faced a weak Bolton Wanderers, and Manchester United won very hard, and in the end only relied on a goal from Klose to win at home.

A day later, Manchester City take on Chelsea away.

In fact, if Manchester City loses to Chelsea, Manchester United will not have no chances, and the difference between the two sides will become five points again, and with eight rounds of the league remaining, five points will not be so far away.

But in this game, Manchester City, who are playing away, are excellent.

Chelsea scored two goals in the game, but Manchester City scored more.

Glory scored twice, Ibrahimovic scored a hat-trick, Manchester City beat Chelsea 5-2 directly at Stamford Bridge!

This match surprised many people. It wasn't that they were surprised that City were able to beat Chelsea, but they didn't expect City to score five goals on the road and win so easily......

You know, it was Chelsea who competed with Manchester City for the league title last season, and the two teams were still inseparable at that time.

Now Manchester City can score five goals against Chelsea so easily......

After this game, news spread that Roman Abramovich wanted to sack Carlo Ancelotti.

But it has nothing to do with glory or Manchester City.

With a win at Chelsea, they are still eight points clear of city rivals Manchester United.

They are just two games away from Arsenal's unbeaten league record. I580
