1465 The Cancer of the Blue Moon
All Manchester Cityers were expecting Manchester City to regain the top spot in this round, because there are only 10 rounds left in the league!
Whoever leads in the standings will have the upper hand.
This is a fact at a glance.
But City lost.
The post-match pressure naturally gathered on Mancini.
The Daily Mail published a sharp and spicy commentary on the war report.
Captioned: Mancini is Manchester City's biggest cancer!
'In terms of this game against Swansea, it's hard to say whether Swansea beat Manchester City or Roberto Mancini beat himself.
At this juncture when the team has entered a bottleneck, Mancini hid the team's top scorer Sergio Aguero for no reason, and did not consider replacing Adam Johnson to open up the width of the attack until the 85th minute, and did not remember to change Dzeko to increase the height of the front court until the 87th minute.
'The players are tired and we're struggling now. Mancini exonerated himself in this way after the defeat.
However, such an explanation sounds like a joke in the case of Manchester City's multi-squad team.
"Why is such a deep bench tiring? How does Mancini rotate? BBC commentator Mark Trinder tweeted after the game without any mercy in rebutting Mancini, which was clearly justified and convincing.
The moment Luke Moore headed past Hart's goal, the City fans in the stands were crying, and they should have started preparing for the end of the season with their own teams facing the Big Four.
Thursday's home game against Sporting Lisbon may look like a chance to continue City's UEFA Cup journey, but anyone who knows Mancini's European record will die for City: in his ten years in charge, Mancini has a record of 11 wins, 7 draws and 9 defeats in the knockout stages of European competition, a win rate of only 40%!
During Mancini's tenure at Inter Milan, Inter Milan was upset by Villarreal, Valencia and other teams weaker than him in the knockout rounds of the Champions League for many years, and was also humiliated by Liverpool at home and away, which became the reason for his dismissal by Moratti.
Think about the 1/8 finals of the League Cup last season, which was also in the League Cup, facing the long-lost Dynamo Kiev, Manchester City under the Manchester coach could be eliminated with an aggregate score of 1:2, or how to say that the situation of headwind + European competition will be a hurdle that Mancini can't overcome anyway?
Mancini should be thankful that Mansour above him is such a tolerant owner, knowing that Chelsea, another billionaire, Abou, would be swept away if the slightest unfavourable European record is achieved.
And a coach like Mancini, who has been in a mess in the league and European competitions, and who exists like a cancer in the team, not only has he not been fired 100 times, but he can still make a fat difference for so long, I really don't know how he should repay Mansour's kindness?
Mancini's prestige in the team is already questionable, with Tevez in a heated fight with him late last year, Adam Johnson arguing with him on the bus earlier this year, and Brits' displeasure with him in the media on the eve of his departure.
Manchester City players know that it is a small matter to not win the championship for a while, and it is a big thing to destroy the future of self-destruction, and under Mancini, Tevez was "treated like a dog" as the Premier League scorer king last season!
Adebayo and Bellamy, who were originally the fulcrum of Manchester City's attack, could not find their place in Manchester City, but fortunately, the two are now at home in their respective teams, and Adebayo has scored a "double-double" of more than 10 goals and assists!
Paraguay's "Batty" Santa Cruz has never been able to show his strength, and can only return to his old club Blackburn Rovers to find opportunities, if the Brazilian international can't find a feeling at all, and finally lose his previous reputation in Russia, Kolarov, who was previously favored by Mourinho, can only occasionally show his appearance, and can only hope that Juventus or Barcelona, who are interested in him, can rescue him from Manchester City's misery, Dzeko, who has just found his form, only inadvertently bumped into Mancini in the Champions League group stage away to Manchester City, was lost by the latter's snow hide
And the above-mentioned people, some of them were signed under Mancini, and some are the work of previous coaches, but it is undeniable that these players have been completely reduced to "waste" in Mancini's 2-year coaching career at Manchester City, including many king-level stars like Adebayo and Tevez!
And the sum of these stars has reached nearly 140 million pounds, Tevez 25 million pounds, Adebayo 25 million pounds, Bellamy 14.5 million pounds, Santa Cruz 18 million pounds, Kolarov 16 million pounds, Ruo 14 million pounds, Dzeko 27 million pounds!
A budget of £140 million is a luxury for any club's manager, and Mancini's hasty waste of that money makes us doubt not only his level of business, but also his sense of responsibility and morality as a professional football coach.
In terms of the use of players and the ability to deal with the relationship in the dressing room, Liverpool's Koeman and Manchester United's Ferguson are all beyond Mancini's reach, Liverpool began to spend a lot of money, but did not spend money in vain, counting the three years of transfer recruitment this season have found their respective status and roles in the team, contributing more or less strength to Liverpool's domination of Europe and England, Manchester United tightened the monetary root but made the best use of his talents under Ferguson, Manchester United, which is far from Liverpool and Manchester City, can still be a title contender in the standings, if Mancini has Koeman's joy in controlling the team or Ferguson's rejuvenation, Manchester City may have already entered the top team in Europe and become one of the few giants in Europe!
It is true that the owner of Manchester City is a billionaire, but with such a manager who loves to toss, how much family wealth can he toss?
Mansour has spent £1 billion on the Blues since taking charge of City in '08, but three and a half seasons on, City have gone home other than an FA Cup title and have repeatedly disappointed in tough battles.
Manchester City's squad is good enough to challenge for any trophy, they have won an FA Cup, but they have lost more and more important trophies, and the return on investment still makes City look like a complete junk stock.
Mansour should be thankful that he did not make the decision to renew Mancini's contract, which gives him plenty of leeway to choose a more reliable coach to lead him from the ground up.
"Will Roberto Mancini leave at the end of the season? It depends on whether Mourinho is in the mood to come to Manchester City to take over. BBC commentator Sekar tweeted.
If Mansour is willing to give an account to the crying fans in the stands, he would do well to put away his mercy to Mancini and hand over his team to someone like Jose Mourinho. (To be continued.) )
