In the crucial rush stage, Manchester City sang high and soared in one round.

However, their biggest rival Liverpool dropped the chain and won two draws in a row, extending the difference between the two sides to nine points!

The British media had to admit that it was only a matter of time before Manchester City successfully defended their title.

Pep Guardiola, however, was very sober and expressed concern about his defensive line: "Conceding goals in two games in a row shows that there is a problem with our defensive line.

We're going to have to play on multiple fronts this month, with a lot of big games to play and our backline going to be tested even more. ”

On February 9, the 26th round of the English Premier League began, and Manchester City sat at home to face Chelsea!

This is another obstacle in City's way to defending their title.

Before the game, Manchester City got an unexpected surprise - N'Golo Kante was injured and could not participate in this game!

After the start of the game, Li Chuanqi frequently launched attacks from the right side.

In the fourth minute of the first half, Li Chuanqi connected two people on the side and passed the football to the middle!

Sergio Aguero shoots with a backheel!

Soccer ball flies into the goal!

1 to 0!

It was a goal that was already spectacular, and the Yoon Tihad Stadium burst into applause.

Seven minutes later, Zinchenko assisted on the side to pass the football into the penalty area, Aguero blocked the football behind him with his left foot, and Li Chuanqi followed up with a push!

Two to zero!

In the nineteenth minute of the first half, Li Chuanqi was brought down by the opponent outside the penalty area, and the referee gave a direct free kick in an excellent position.

Li Chuanqi's free kick went around the wall and went straight to the left side of the goal!

Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga made a brave save, and Raheem Sterling made a clever follow-up shot!

Three to zero!

The Chelsea bench fell into a deathly silence!

The first half was 25 minutes, Li Chuanqi took the ball on the side and cut inside and passed the football to Aguero in the penalty area!

Sergio Aguero had just taken the ball down and Rudiger reached out and stabbed it out of the box!

Gundogan, who was unmarked, shot directly from outside the penalty area!

Four to zero!

Manchester City established a huge lead in the first half.

Guardiola is very happy with the scoreline, and he can make substitutions comfortably in preparation for the upcoming Champions League.

Manchester City went into the second half with a four-goal lead.

In the seventh minute of the second half, Li Chuanqi once again created a chance on the right side, with an inverted triangle pass, and De Bruyne, who followed in the middle, shot hard!

Five to zero!

In the next game, Guardiola replaced Li Chuanqi, De Bruyne and Aguero successively.

In the nineteenth minute of the second half, Raheem Sterling broke into the penalty area and was put down by the opponent!

Penalty kick!

Six to zero!

In the 35th minute of the second half, David Silva made a direct pass, Zinchenko crossed from the left, Jesus missed the ball in front of the point, and Sterling swept into the net from the edge of the small penalty area!

Seven to zero!

The group of reporters at the scene looked at the huge score in amazement, slaughter!

Manchester City slaughtered Chelsea at home!

Chelsea fans looked at the scoreline in despair, could it be that Kante was absent and Chelsea became an underdog?

This has mixed feelings among other Premier League giants who are watching the spotlight battle, who are saddened by Chelsea while also thanking that their side have not been beaten into a sieve by Manchester City......

In the end, Manchester City slaughtered Chelsea with a score of 7-0 at their home stadium, creating a tragedy!

Liverpool finally put a halt to their slump and beat Bournemouth 3-0 at home, keeping the gap nine points clear on Manchester City.

The seven-0 score shocked the British media.

The Telegraph said: "There is no one to stop Manchester City from defending their Premier League title! ”

The Guardian commented: "Seven to zero! Set a new record for the largest score in the history of the two teams! Without N'Golo Kante in midfield, Chelsea's defensive intensity in midfield has been lowered by a notch, and Manchester City have easily pushed football up front to attack!

Lee only scored one goal, but he created chances for his team-mates on the left!

Without N'Golo Kante's defence, Lee was on the left and no one could limit his play.

That's the main reason why Chelsea beat it! ”

Premier League fans were shocked and began to mock Manchester City:

"In the Premier League, he is fierce and has the ability to win in the Champions League!"

"Civil war, insider, outside, outside, outside! Manchester City, the Champions League will be your sad place! ”

"Why haven't the results of the reported incident come out yet? What does UEFA eat? ”

"UEFA should ban Manchester City from the Champions League!"

Premier League fans are once again clamoring for UEFA to ban Manchester City from the Champions League, especially fans of giants such as Manchester United and Liverpool, who do not want to see Manchester City become a true European giant.

The Manchester City fans immediately fought back:

"You're going to see Manchester City succeed in the Champions League! Definitely! Because we have Lee! ”

"The Premier League certainly doesn't satisfy our appetite and the Champions League is another arena we conquer!"

'Lee promised to bring us the Champions League and we believe he can do it!'

"Lee is omnipotent, and he holds a lot of records in the Champions League now, so the Champions League is not that far away from us!"

Premier League giants fans replied: "Do it again, don't talk big!" Lee is good, but Pep Guardiola often does things in the Champions League, and the next time you might play Lee at centre-back, do you think you will succeed in the Champions League?

After all, Manchester City's backline ...... It's scum! ”

"I think Pep Guardiola will let Lee go to goal! Hahaha! …… Hahaha! ……”

"Yes, we believe in Lee's ability, but Pep Guardiola ...... Haha, we're looking forward to him doing something in the Champions League! ”

Nima ......

Manchester City fans were silent, and Pep Guardiola did often get things done in key games.

If you really let Lee play as a central defender......

No!

How is that possible!

When pigs fly!

Playing in midfield is already the limit, and it is definitely impossible to let Lee play as a central defender, there are no such crazy people!

Pep Guardiola, can you not make things happen in key games?

Guardiola did not expect that he would become the focus of discussion among fans on both sides.

At the moment, he is leading the team in preparation for the FA Cup, the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 and the League Cup final.

Pep Guardiola and his disciples have ambitions to create an era where they are going to compete for the title of all competitions!

The FA Cup kicks off on 17 February, and Manchester City's opponents are League One side Newport County.

Pep Guardiola came on as a substitute.

Newport County showed their tenacity on the pitch, breaking down City's ferocious attacks again and again, keeping the score 0-0 until the end of the first half.

After the start of the second half, Manchester City's attack was even more aggressive.

In the twelfth minute of the second half, Manchester City broke the deadlock on the field as desired, and Jesus seized the opportunity in the penalty area and scored with a powerful shot!

1 to 0!

It was a goal that upset the balance of the pitch, and seven minutes later, City launched a quick counter-attack, and Leroy Sane won the ball and then forced a solo goal!

Two to zero!

In the twenty-seventh minute of the second half, Gundogan scored from outside the penalty area!

Three to zero!

In the end, Manchester City won by three goals and advanced to the round of 16 of the FA Cup!
