Chapter 1295: A Different Chelsea

Glory's remarks certainly caused an uproar in Madrid, Spain.

Because Glory is simply stabbing Real Madrid's wounds, re-opening the scabbed wounds, and then sprinkling some salt, cumin, chili flakes, pepper and so on on the bloody wounds.

That's sour...... I simply don't mention it.

Real Madrid fans were already unhappy with Rongguang, Rongguang had a deep relationship with Real Madrid, and now he took the initiative to find trouble, which made Real Madrid fans explode.

And this time Real Madrid fans have to be confident.

Real Madrid were still held down by Barcelona in the domestic league against Manchester City last season, and they lost 5-0 away to Barcelona in the first leg of the national derby, which made them a little unable to hold their heads up.

But this is no longer the case, and Mourinho seems to have proved that his second season will always be stronger than the first.

Now in La Liga, the league has played 27 rounds, Real Madrid has 24 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, accumulating 73 points and ranking first in the table.

And what about Barcelona? Although it is in second place, it is 10 points behind with 63 points. With 11 league games remaining, this margin means that Barcelona will have a hard time reversing Real Madrid to win the title.

Under such circumstances, Real Madrid fans are certainly confident that they will be able to seek revenge on Manchester City and glory in the Champions League.

So although the game is far from starting, the scolding battle between the two sides has been jumped by glory.

The newspapers "Marca" and "As" repeatedly attacked Glory for being impolite and ungraceful, and inherited the "collapse theory" of the English media, saying that the game was so dense that Manchester City would sooner or later kill themselves.

In this regard, the English media is reluctant to do so - yes, we are talking about the "collapse theory", but we are talking about the collapse of the domestic league, this is our civil war, and how we fight the civil war is our own business, and it is your turn to point fingers?

What is the Champions League?

The Champions League is a foreign war! Manchester City is playing well in the Champions League and can secure the four Champions League places in the Premier League, which is a good thing for the entire Premier League.

In the Champions League, do you still want to use the "collapse theory" to sing down Manchester City? Then we must not bear it!

So before Manchester City could do anything, the English media tore up with the Spanish media first.

Everyone tore up so much that it gave the illusion that the next game would be a showdown between these two teams.

But it's not.

Manchester City's next game is the FA Cup quarter-finals, where Manchester City take on Stoke City.

In this game, Benitez still did not send all the main players.

Although the media is in Black Manchester City, what they said is also reasonable, the competition is so intensive, Manchester City's physical reserves are likely to be unable to keep up in the end, so now we must take precautions, in addition to increasing the content and amount of physical training in training, it is to completely rotate in the game.

Against Stoke City in the FA Cup, he didn't plan to put all the team's players on board.

It's not that he's going to give up the FA Cup, but he thinks he can win against Stoke City without having to go all-in.

As long as there are key people.

And the next game is against Chelsea, which is a big game and the main players will definitely be playing at that time.

In the end, Manchester City, who came on as a substitute, beat Stoke City 2-1 at their home stadium, shattering the opposition's desire for revenge.

After knocking out Stoke City, Manchester City reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup.

Their opponents will be Everton.

On March 22, in the 29th round of the league, Manchester City welcomed Chelsea at home.

After 28 league games, Chelsea are now fifth with 49 points, while Arsenal are in fourth place with 52 points.

So if Chelsea are to finish in the top four, they have to win this game. With few league games remaining, the three points in every game are very important for Chelsea.

Chelsea have really not had a good run of form in the league this season.

They stumbled in the Champions League as well.

In the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Chelsea took on Napoli away.

Napoli have not participated in the Champions League for many years, and they were not favored to return to the Champions League this time, but they came out of the group, and when facing Chelsea, many people still think that Chelsea is a good draw.

As a result, in the first leg, Napoli beat Chelsea 3-1 at home!

The defeat in this game also directly led to Boas's dismissal.

After losing to Manchester City in the league, there were many who thought that Boas's days at Stamford Bridge were over, but Abramovich showed more patience than he could have imagined this time, and he did not dismiss Boas at the time.

As it turns out, while Abramovich has always been impatient in firing the manager, this time he was unexpectedly patient and wrong......

Villas-Boas's Chelsea showed little sign of rebounding in the league and lost away to Napoli in the Champions League.

Abramovich finally understood this time - this is not the time to show patience with Boas!

As a result, he sacked Villas-Boas and assistant coach Roberto Di Matteo became the team's interim head coach.

After Di Matteo led the team, he came to a big comeback at home, beating Napoli 3-1! The game went to extra-time, where Chelsea scored another goal to eliminate Napoli 5-4 on aggregate and advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

In the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Chelsea's opponents are Benfica, not a very strong team, and Chelsea have a good chance of reaching the last four of the Champions League again.

At the same time, however, Di Matteo has no intention of abandoning the domestic league.

What if I am eliminated from the Champions League and still want to play in the Champions League? That would only be able to finish in the top four in the league.

Anyway, there is no Champions League game in the middle of next week after this game, so Chelsea don't have to stay on and they can give it their all in this game.

That's why Chelsea are taking on Manchester City with all their squad.

※※※

The first half of the two teams was very tangled, with neither team scoring.

It was the same after the start of the second half, the scramble was fierce, there were several yellow cards, but the goal just didn't come.

It wasn't until the 60th minute that centre-back Gary Cahill smashed Manchester City open the Manchester City goal with his head in a corner!

1:0!

Chelsea, playing away, are ahead!

"Cahill! Chelsea are ahead! They are leading away from home!! ”

"It was a very good game for both sides to shoot too well...... But Chelsea seized the opportunity from a set-piece to score! With 30 minutes remaining, City will have to step up...... Otherwise, they will lose at home to Chelsea. Alan Hansen said this because Chelsea were very tough in today's game, and their toughness was nothing short of a nemesis for a tired Manchester City.

After all, after Matuidi's injury, none of the Manchester City players want to be injured again in the game, which will affect the team's results, but will make them miss a lot of important games, and there is also the European Cup this summer, in case of injury at this time, can not participate in the European Cup, it will be a big loss.

Even non-European internationals will have to compete in World Cup qualifiers on their respective continents.

It is this mentality that Di Matteo has captured in the Manchester City players that has made Chelsea very tough in the game.

His toughness paid off as well, with City missing a goal before 60 minutes and Chelsea themselves on 60 minutes.

If Chelsea continue to be so tough after the goal, it will indeed cause a headache for Manchester City.

So a full ten minutes have passed since Chelsea's goal, and City have yet to score.

This is relatively rare in Manchester City's games. It's not that City haven't conceded in a game or are behind.

But they tend to equalise very quickly after conceding a goal, two, three, five, six.

It's as if the opponent's goal only irritates them, making them look even more frantic and unstoppable after conceding a goal.

It's really rare to have ten minutes gone without an equaliser like today.

Chelsea's tough style of play makes Manchester City players play restrained and very uncomfortable, and the performance is naturally not good.

Another five minutes passed, fifteen minutes after Manchester City conceded a goal, but the score on the field remained unchanged, it was still 0:1, and Manchester City at home fell behind.

'It's been 75 minutes and City haven't equalised...... I think it's good for Manchester City to equalise in this game...... If not, it's entirely possible that they will lose this game! ”

Alan Hansen said.

It's probably what those who talk about Manchester City want to hear right now.

If Chelsea can beat Manchester City and end their unbeaten league run that is still going on, then the value of losing to Manchester City many times can now be written off!
