Chapter 845: Advance to the FA Cup Final!

Manchester City are eleven points ahead of Liverpool in the Premier League, and that's the rhythm of winning the title early.

As for whether they can win the championship five rounds earlier like last season...... City up and down are not that important.

This season, Manchester City's goal is to blossom more, and even the "Manchester City Weekly" said that Manchester City will become the seven-time champion!

Manchester United fans immediately began to taunt:

"A team that hasn't even won the Champions League dares to shout out seven crowns?"

"Wake up Manchester City, don't sleep, it's almost dawn!"

"Seven crowns? How much alcohol did I drink? ”

"Who can't blow cowhide, Seven Crowns, how fucking dare you!"

Manchester City fans did not respond this time, after all, Manchester City is still too far from the goal of a seven-time crown, if they do not win the Champions League, Manchester City can dominate England at most, winning the League Cup, FA Cup, Premier League and Community Shield.

As for the Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup...... Without the Champions League, not even qualified.

So, now the Champions League is the top priority!

Without the Champions League, there is no need to talk about anything.

On April 3, the 33rd round of the Premier League began, and Manchester City will play the first leg of the FA Cup semi-finals and Champions League quarter-finals after this game.

In order to prepare for the next two important games, Guardiola hid several main players such as Li Chuanqi and Aguero.

Manchester City's opponent in this round is Cardiff, who is also in the relegation zone.

At eight o'clock that night, the game started at the Yin Tihad Stadium.

Before the start of the game, Manchester City paid tribute to the recently deceased Manchester City honorary president Halford.

A lifelong supporter of the team, Bernard was born in May 1941 and watched his beloved team from the terrace on Maine Road as a child and went through the ups and downs of the '50s and '60s with the club.

After a stint at Oldham as secretary, he became part of Manchester City.

He joined Manchester City in 1972, initially as a general secretary and eventually as club secretary, and has remained in the business for 40 years, seeing our fortunes change on and off the pitch, as well as a dramatic shift in chairman and ownership and numerous managerial appointments.

It was a role that made him thrive, and he was personally involved in the club's hundreds of transfer deals, large and small, from the shock of Dennis Law's move to Manchester United in 1973 to the acquisition of Abu Dhabi to the record-breaking acquisition of Robinho.

Manchester City pressed aggressively from the start, taking the lead in the sixth minute of the first half, Laporte crossed and De Bruyne fired into the top corner from a tight angle on the left side of the box!

1 to 0!

Once again, Manchester City broke the deadlock early.

In the 44th minute of the second half, Mahrez crossed from the right, Jesus chested back at the far point, and Sane volleyed into the far corner from the edge of the penalty area!

Two to zero!

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

City slowed down noticeably from the start of the game, with a 2-0 win enough to take them a win and pick up the three points.

Pep Guardiola replaced Kevin De Bruyne and David Silva successively.

In the end, Manchester City won 2-0 at home and picked up all three points.

In the match between Liverpool and Southampton that ended a little later, Liverpool won 3-1 away from home.

City's lead remains at 11 points.

……

On 7 April, the FA Cup semi-finals kicked off, with Manchester City facing Premier League side Brighton.

Brighton are now 16th in the Premier League, out of the relegation zone, but just two points ahead.

Therefore, many media believe that Brighton will not pay attention to this FA Cup semi-final, and they will focus on relegation.

Pep Guardiola was unfazed by the media, allowing rested Li Chuanqi and Sergio Aguero to start.

Manchester City, who were at home from the start of the game, were firmly in control of the ball and kept putting pressure on the Brighton defence.

Li Chuanqi and Aguero frequently played wonderful cooperation, but unfortunately they did not find their sense at the goal, and they did not score for a long time.

The deadlock was only broken in the twenty-ninth minute of the first half.

City attacked from the left, Raheem Sterling played an inverted triangle pass, and De Bruyne, who followed down the middle, passed the ball directly to Aguero, who knocked it back.

The B seat that followed up made a diagonal pass and found Li Chuanqi who was ambushed on the right side of the penalty area.

"Smack! ……”

Li Chuanqi shot directly!

The ball was saved by the Brighton goalkeeper and Sergio Aguero followed up with a successful follow-up shot!

1 to 0!

With the score behind, Brighton did not step up their attack and continued to hoard heavy reinforcements in the central midfield.

Their meaning is very clear - they can't beat anyway, and less loss is better than win.

In the end, Manchester City went into the second half with a score of 1-0.

Just two minutes into the second half, City made a tackle in the heart of the opposition and immediately launched a counter-attack.

De Bruyne's diagonal pass penetrated Brighton's defense, and Li Chuanqi followed up with a successful shot!

Two to zero!

Manchester City extended their lead.

Considering that the quarterfinals of the Champions League will be played in three days, Guardiola replaced De Bruyne and Li Chuanqi successively when he was leading 2-0.

In the end, Manchester City won 2-0 and advanced to the FA Cup final as they wished!

Manchester City's opponents in the FA Cup final were Watford, who beat Wolverhampton Wanderers in the semi-finals to reach the final.

……

After playing the FA Cup semi-finals, City are focusing on the upcoming Champions League quarter-finals.

Manchester City will travel to White Hart Lane to take on Tottenham in the first leg, and the two teams have only met once this season, drawing 2-2 at White Hart Lane.

This is the first time the two teams have met in Europe. Tottenham have won two previous European games at home against English sides, while Manchester City have lost both European away games against English sides.

Historical data is very unfriendly to Manchester City.

……

Nima...... Is Manchester City going to win the domestic treble? ”

"Even if they win the domestic treble, such a luxurious squad can't achieve a breakthrough in the Champions League, they are just a piece of!"

"Tottenham, come on, take Manchester City off!"

Premier League fans shouted at Tottenham, especially those of giants such as Manchester United and Liverpool, and even said that they would go to White Hart Lane to cheer for Tottenham!

Once again, Manchester City fans felt the atmosphere of "the world is full of enemies".

"A draw is Tottenham's confidence?"

"Did Tottenham forget last season's double?"

'Can Tottenham stop Manchester City? Dream on! ”

……

Manchester City fans are fighting alone, and Li Chuanqi is ready to show their support and make them feel that the Manchester City players are standing with them.

Li Chuanqi updated his social account the day before the game: "The whole day is expecting us to lose, but I think ...... That's impossible! ”

In less than half an hour after the update, millions of likes, comments, and retweets instantly pushed Li Chuanqi to the top of the social platform!

Ronaldo's topic was pressed second!

This made Ronaldo's supporters very uncomfortable.

"Cristiano Ronaldo, play well, let's give them the top spot!"

"Winning is the most important thing, let them be arrogant for a while!"

Ronaldo's fans comforted him.
