After the goal, Sergio Aguero was excited to celebrate, while Lin Quan was not in the mood.

When he first joined Manchester City, he was a guest at Stamford Bridge for the first time, and was once cornered by Jose Mourinho's Blues, and finally relied on his difficult upside-down golden hook to equalize the game.

But even so, after scoring such a spectacular goal, Manchester City still failed to win.

However, just two years later, Chelsea have fallen to this extent.

Today's Chelsea team feels like a plate of loose sand, with no fighting power at all.

Although the strength of Chelsea's squad is not bad, the individual strength of these players in the team is also very strong, Diego Costa, Cesc Fabregas, can you say that these people are weak?

They are Lin Quan's teammates in the national team, whether they are strong or not, Lin Quan naturally knows in his heart.

It's just that such a group of outstanding players are acting as if they can't play in today's Chelsea team, which can only be said to be a problem with the team itself.

Because the outcome was decided, Lin Quan was replaced early in the second half.

However, Manchester City's attacking momentum did not end there, and in the 78th minute of the second half, Courtois made a mistake and knocked Aguero down in the box, not only was he ejected by the referee with a red card, but also gave Manchester City a penalty.

Since Manchester City's first penalty taker Lin Quan has been substituted, Aguero stood at the penalty spot.

Against a Chelsea substitute goalkeeper who didn't have time to warm up, Sergio Aguero slotted home the ball to complete his first Premier League hat-trick of the season.

Seeing Aguero in such good form, Guardiola was very happy.

The better the form of this group of strikers, the better their chances of winning against Atletico Madrid.

The home-and-away sequence put them under a lot of attacking pressure in the first leg of the home game.

They have to make sure they score in the first leg and get as many clean sheets as possible so they can take it in stride away from home.

If City can't find the back of the net in the first leg, then it's hard to say the game away from home.

Just as Manchester City swept Chelsea 4-0, there was good news from Leicester's side.

Leicester City, who played at home, received a yellow card after Jamie Vardy scored the first goal, but was considered by the referee to be a fake fall because of a fall.

Because he already had a yellow card on him, he was sent off for two yellows and one red.

After Jamie Vardy was ejected, a spirited West Ham side took the opportunity to launch a counter-attack, slotting twice in the space of two minutes between the 85th and 86th minutes to turn the game around.

Although the game over there is not over yet, the game has already entered injury time.

Leicester City, which lacks the main striker and plays one less person, will find it difficult to turn the tables.

And if they lose, then Manchester City will win the title four rounds earlier!

After learning the news, on the bus back to the team, Manchester City's players took out their mobile phones and watched the live broadcast of the game on their mobile phones, wanting to know the progress of the game in real time.

"Go up on top, don't let that guy shoot!"

"Will you be defensive? The top of the arc is leaking, why is no one going to make up for it?! ”

"Oh, I'll go, I dare to kick this way, this is in the forbidden area!"

In the final moments of the game, the ten-man Leicester City launched round after round of fierce attacks on West Ham United.

West Ham United, who had a dominant number of numbers, were pinned down within 30 metres of their own side and could not get out at all.

The Manchester City players who watched the scorching game situation all sweated for West Ham United, for fear that they would drop the chain at the last moment!

Fearing what to come, in stoppage time, the West Ham defender tripped Leicester's Schlupp with a reckless kick in the box.

The referee awarded another penalty, and Uloa struck it to make it 2:2.

"Damn, how is this ball defended?"

"The number of people is still beaten like this, will you play football!"

"Damn, this Leicester City is really fateful!"

Seeing Leicester equaliser, there was a wave of complaints from the players on the Manchester City bus.

I thought I could pick up a leak and defend the title four rounds in advance!

As a result, they didn't expect West Ham United to be so useless, which made them happy in vain.

And looking at Leicester City, they don't seem to be happy with a draw yet.

Immediately after the goal, Uloa rushed into the goal, scooped the ball up, and quickly ran back to the centre circle to prepare for a restart.

There are now two minutes left before the end of stoppage time, which is a short time, but in the closing stages of the game, both teams have already scored three goals.

So in these two minutes, anything is possible!

"Boss, aren't you worried at all?"

The assistant coaches were also sighing, but when they turned their heads, they saw Guardiola's relaxed face, as if he didn't care about the score on Leicester's side.

"Worried about what? With four games left in the league and we have a nine-point lead, who can snatch the title from us unless we lose all four rounds? ”

Pep Guardiola spread his hands and put on a look that I don't know what you're anxious about.

Everyone was stunned, thought about it carefully, and suddenly realized: It seems that this is really the case!

The closer they get to the end of the season, the bigger their lead becomes.

Even if Leicester City win every game in the future, there is no guarantee that they will win the title, because if they want to win the title, they will have to look at Manchester City's face.

As long as Manchester City's side does not lose all four games, the final championship must be theirs, and no one can snatch it!

It's nothing more than a matter of winning the championship a few rounds in advance, anyway, the Champions League semi-finals are still early, and there is time on Manchester City's side.

Leicester City were unable to pull off a miracle either, as they failed to extend their lead after scoring the equaliser penalty and ended up in a 2-2 draw at home to West Ham United.

The score was fatal for Leicester City, who were re-opened by Manchester City with a double-digit deficit because of the draw.

City's lead at the top of the table has now been extended to 11 points.

There are 4 rounds left in the league, and as long as Manchester City wins the next game, then they will win the championship 3 rounds in advance, regardless of the score on Leicester's side!

And the next game happened to be played at Manchester City's home stadium.

Therefore, the outside world feels that the suspense of the Premier League championship this season is completely gone.

Leicester City have been killed even the last bit of hope, and even some spinach companies have begun to close the market and no longer accept bets.

……

On April 23, the penultimate round began.

In this round of matches, Manchester City will sit at home to face the challenge of Stoke City, who are ninth in the league.

In light of the current title-winning situation, the FA has brought the Premier League trophy to the Etihad Stadium, with the intention of presenting the award to Manchester City after the match.

Manchester City also prepared early, and the die-hard fans made slogans and banners in advance, and came to the stadium with these slogans and banners, occupying the favorable terrain early, ready to cheer for the team.

In addition, the club's president Fahim and big boss Mansour also came to the stadium in person, bringing more than 10 million euros in cash, ready to be distributed to the players as a bonus when the team wins the championship!

Everything is ready and waiting for the protagonists to appear.

In Manchester City's dressing room, Pep Guardiola did not make any long-winded pre-match mobilisation.

He just moved a few things from the team's honour room – three trophies symbolizing the Premier League title!

The numbers 2011-2012, 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 are engraved on it, representing the time when these trophies were awarded.

Next to the three trophies, there is also a pedestal for the trophies, under which is written a line of numbers 2015-2016, which is obviously intended for this season's championship trophy.

Seeing that these trophies attracted the attention of the players, Guardiola looked around and said to the players:

"It's time to reap the fruits of our hard-fought races this season, rush out of here and get that damn trophy back!"

There is no need to do too much mobilization, a simple sentence has already made the morale of the Manchester City soldiers burst!

"Manchester City!"

Lin Quan, who was wearing the captain's armband, took the lead in shouting after hearing Guardiola's words, and was the first to reach out his hand.

"Rush Rush!!"

The players echoed loudly and handed their hands over.

……

"Coming, coming, Brother Lin, they're coming!"

In the stands of the stadium, several fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenagers poked their heads excitedly and looked in the direction of the players' tunnel.

Seeing the Manchester City players wearing sky blue jerseys, under the leadership of captain Lin Quan, when they walked out of the players' tunnel in turn, several teenagers excitedly shouted loudly with the equally excited fans around them!

"Brother Lin, come on!"

"Rush, Brother Lin!"

These people were so close to the pitch that their voices reached the ears of the City players.

Lin Quan glanced in the direction where the voice came from, and saw Haaland, Sancho and Foden.

Look at these guys who are excited, I don't know and think they are the ones who played!

However, it is not a bad thing that they have such a strong sense of honor and belonging to the club.

With them, Manchester City will still be very competitive in football in the next ten years!

In addition to a few people in the stands, Mbappe, who is a few years older than Haaland, was also excited on the Manchester City bench.

Because of his age, he didn't get many opportunities to play after coming to Manchester City.

Pep Guardiola, out of the idea of protecting him, is not willing to let him play too much, but in some games where the wins and losses have been decided, he is arranged to come on as a substitute to feel the atmosphere of the Premier League, and by the way, he has accumulated some game experience over the years.

But today, in a game where Manchester City are likely to lift the trophy early, Pep Guardiola has put him in the squad.

This made Mbappe quite excited, and it would be a dream for him to be able to play in such a high-profile occasion.

It is best to have a stalemate in the game, and when you can't win the game, you can turn the tide and lead the team to win and win the cup by yourself.

If that's the case, it's perfect!

Mbappe thought to himself, and after Guardiola shook hands with the coach of the visiting team, he returned to the dugout and sat down.

He glanced at Mbappe, who was expecting a bright future, and nodded slightly.

The reason why Mbappe was put in the squad was not intended to be used as a strange boy or anything.

Just let him be a part of the team and feel the atmosphere of winning the championship up close, so as to increase his sense of collective honor and belonging to the team.

This guy came on transfer during the winter break, and his sense of belonging to the team is not as high as that of the little guys in the academy.

Mbappe's potential, Guardiola can naturally see.

He didn't want the genius he had worked so hard to cultivate to be easily poached by other giants.

After the pre-match coin guessing, side selection and flag exchange, the players from both sides took their respective positions, set up their formations, and waited for the referee to blow the whistle to start the game.

April 23rd, 13:45 p.m.

With the referee's whistle, the game officially began.

The moment the whistle blew, Manchester City rushed towards Stoke City like a tiger out of the cage.

Stoke City has never seen this battle, and they are all shocked!

Stoke City are currently 9th in the league and have no chance of relegation, with no hope of winning the title and securing a European place.

This kind of team, expecting them to fight Manchester City for a title that does not belong to them, it is certainly impossible.

Of course, if City don't show that kind of relentless momentum, they don't mind disgusting City.

After all, no one wants to be someone else's stepping stone and watch their opponent win a cup in front of them.

It's just that, seeing Manchester City's posture, Stoke City's people celebrated, they didn't have a chance today.

Manchester City's attack was very ferocious, completely suppressing Stoke City, and even forming a siege on the opponent's goal.

Unfortunately, I don't know if it was because of the mentality of being too anxious, their several shots on goal failed to pose a threat to the opponent's goal, and the Stoke City people withstood Manchester City's stormy attack and simply stopped.

Seeing that the team could not attack for a long time, the mentality of the Manchester City fans in the stands also became anxious.

"Get one!"

"Get one!"

……

The fans began to shout in unison, as if hearing the cries of the fans, and Manchester City began to change their attacking strategy, not only increasing their attempts at long-range shots and set-pieces, but also becoming more patient and calm in attack, no longer rushing to shoot.

The adjustment paid off quickly, and in the 35th minute of the first half, Lin Quan took the lead in scoring with a long-range shot and knocked on the opponent's door.

After the goal, Lin Quan rarely chose to celebrate wildly.

He took off his jersey, showed off his muscles, and quickly rushed to the corner area to celebrate with a passionate knee.

The teammates behind him did the same, and they all slid to their knees on the ground, leaving marks on the lawn.

Guardiola was also fascinated, rushed over excitedly, hugged Lin Quan tightly, and still had words in his mouth, spitting out some nonsense such as 'good boy, good look, worthy of my son'.

And the Etihad Stadium, at the moment when Lin Quan scored, had already turned into a sea of joy.

Countless fans were so excited that they forgot themselves, and no matter who the people around them were, whether they knew each other or not, they just hugged each other and celebrated wildly!

Lin Quan's goal seemed to break the inner persistence of the Stoke City players, and after Lin Quan's goal, the opponent's fighting spirit and defensive determination fell off a cliff.

Soon Sergio Aguero, Kevin De Bruyne, Kroos and others scored one after another.

Manchester City sealed the win completely, defending the Premier League title three rounds ahead of schedule.

And this also marks the establishment of a new dynasty for Manchester City in the Premier League!
