Speaking about the upcoming Carabao Cup final, Pep Guardiola said cautiously: "The final is completely different from other competitions, the previous games are over, now all we have to do is prepare seriously and play the game we want!"

We don't think too much about the result, we focus on the process.

With a good process, the results won't be much worse. ”

Speaking to the media, Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri said: 'The game 10 days ago left us with a miserable wound and we are now picking ourselves up and going with a fresh look and mentality.

N'Golo Kante is coming into this big game after recuperation, which is very important for us and we are confident that we can turn around in this game.

They can't win all the time because no team has ever won all the games in a single season, and no team has been unbeaten all season.

I don't think they can do it, although they are strong. ”

N'Golo Kante's return from injury has given hope to the whole of Chelsea.

London media cheer Chelsea: "N'Golo Kante's comeback at a crucial moment has given Chelsea a shot in the arm, and we have reason to believe that Chelsea can make a comeback.

The main reason for Chelsea's heavy defeat at the feet of Manchester City ten days ago was that N'Golo Kante missed that game due to injury, which caused the Chelsea midfield to completely lose control of the defense and did not effectively suppress the Manchester City midfield.

】

With N'Golo Kante's return, Chelsea's midfield defence will be greatly improved, and as long as they can keep City's midfield at bay, Chelsea are not far from beating Manchester City!

Come on! Chelsea, you can do it!

It's not just a title, it's about Chelsea's glory, no team can beat Chelsea all season, and Manchester City can't do it! ”

……

Li Chuanqi updated his social account before the big battle: The first championship point of the season is here, all I can do is to adjust my condition and win this championship!

This update instantly received thousands of likes and retweets.

Countless fans left messages below:

"Come on! Lee, we believe in you! ”

"There can't be too many titles, this is the beginning of Manchester City's title race this season, we have to get off to a good start!"

"The Carabao Cup is really average, but as long as it comes to the championship, we should win it!"

"Come on! The championship has started at this moment! ”

"It's harvest season, let's see how many trophies Manchester City can win this season!"

……

Chelsea fans began to lash out at Li Chuanqi:

"It's as if the champion is already yours...... Li Shao said big things, maybe waiting for your ...... It's empty! ”

"You think you can take it if you want? The title belongs to Chelsea! ”

'You've won the first three times, and this time it's Chelsea's turn to win!'

"Who wouldn't say big things, maybe God will make you cry bitterly!"

Li Chuanqi's supporters immediately began to fight back:

"Won three times? Oh, it's not enough, we're going to keep winning! ”

"Is it still qualified to report a dog?"

"Leave tears of pain? No, Manchester City don't need tears, it's Chelsea who shed tears! ”

"Even if it is tears, it is tears of joy!"

Fans from both sides fought on the Internet, and fans from Liverpool, Manchester United and other teams also joined in, and they chose to support Chelsea, and for a while, the momentum of Manchester City fans was suppressed.

"Then we'll see!"

The Manchester City fans, who were at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, gave up the war of words after saying a word.

……

On the 23rd, the 27th round of the English Premier League began, and Manchester City and Chelsea postponed this round of matches because they were preparing for the League Cup final.

The focus of this round of matches is the "double red meeting" between Manchester United and Liverpool, although Manchester United has experienced a change of manager this season, and the team's results are also very poor, but the confrontation between the two teams still attracts a lot of media and fans' attention.

However, the game was rather silent and after 90 minutes of action, United were unable to secure all three points in a 0-0 draw at Old Trafford.

Liverpool were also visibly frustrated, having thought they could use the win to close the gap on Manchester City, only to end up with a draw.

Liverpool are second in the table with eight points down with a game in hand.

……

On the 24th, Manchester City traveled to London to prepare for the League Cup final.

The League Cup final is scheduled at Wembley Stadium.

It was at this stadium that Manchester City won the Community Shield with a 3-0 thrashing of Chelsea before the start of the season.

Once again at Wembley Stadium, they hope to beat Chelsea and win the title again!

In other countries, there is generally only one domestic cup competition, but England has two, one is the League Cup and the other is the FA Cup.

The FA Cup and the League Cup are both held in England, but they are hosted in different ways.

The League Cup, which stands for the English Football League Cup, is hosted by the English Football League, while the FA Cup, which stands for the English FA Cup, is played between all levels of football clubs in England.

The FA Cup was founded almost 100 years before the League Cup!

The FA Cup includes the top 10 football teams in England, while the League Cup only qualifies for the top 4 teams.

So in terms of influence, the League Cup can't be compared to the FA Cup.

……

At half past seven o'clock in the evening of the 25th, Wembley Stadium was full!

Fans on both sides will want their teams to beat their opponents and prove that their teams are strong.

Chelsea fans will be hoping it will be a game of shame to wash away the humiliation of 11 days ago and regain confidence.

Manchester City fans hope this game is the start of the season and the start of Manchester City's journey to the title.

At 7:45, the starters of both sides walked into the court under the leadership of the referee.

They were greeted by a tsunami of cheers.

Chelsea fans unfurl a banner – shame on you! Break Manchester City's dreams!

Everyone knows Manchester City are ambitious this season and will be in contention for the title in multiple competitions.

Manchester City fans put up banners in a-for-tat manner - Manchester City haven't won enough! Bloody Chelsea!

Both managers have fielded their all-out squad and they are bound to win the title.

"Drop! ……”

At eight o'clock, the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game.

Chelsea moved the ball to the back and City's midfield pounced on the ball like a pack of wolves!

The game started in a fierce battle, and there was no temptation because the two teams were too familiar.

Chelsea broke City's high press with a quick revolt, moved the ball up front and launched the attack.

In the fifth minute of the first half, under the tandem of Hazard, Chelsea launched an attack from the right, and Azpilicueta crossed from the right side, and Kovacic, who was ambushed in the middle, completed the header!

The soccer ball is over the crossbar!
