Now no one knows what's going on in City's dressing room.

In fact.

In all football clubs.

When the results are not as expected, all kinds of problems will start to appear.

What locker room contradictions or something.

are the most common.

Victory is able to overshadow everything.

Failure is like the plague.

It can induce all kinds of problems.

Who doesn't love victory?

At least the Arsenal players like it.

They don't know about the Manchester City infighting.

So after fifteen minutes of rest.

The Arsenal players returned to the pitch with a relaxed mood.

Manchester City came on two or three minutes later than them.

However, this is also within the normal time frame, at least Manchester City did not let the referee rush them.

So there is no doubt about it.

Merely.

At the time of the appearance.

When the televised camera locked on Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini.

Everyone saw Pellegrini's face unmistakably blue.

"Maybe it's a really hard game for Manchester City to win, and Pellegrini is probably wondering which clubs he needs to interview for next season, right?"

Commentator Andy Gray teased.

The Manchester City players who appeared on the field also had solemn expressions one by one.

But everyone just thinks that Manchester City's situation is critical now.

The players themselves are in a hurry.

I'm afraid even the Manchester City players themselves know it.

It is already unlikely that they will be able to overcome this opponent.

When all the rescue from the city appeared on the field, the commentators suddenly discovered a problem.

What about Aguero?

Aguero is not on the pitch?!

What's going on?

Manchester City, who fell behind by one goal, gave up treatment and replaced their top scorer?

Everyone still thinks that Aguero is not in an internal emergency, solving personal physiological problems.

After all, it is impossible to change the center forward at such a time.

As a result, many people count over and over again.

Found on the pitch.

Manchester City are indeed 11 men.

The footage of the TV broadcast is also counting.

From one region to another.

The audience in the stadium and in front of the TV set stopped paying attention to the game.

They just want to know.

Where did Aguero go?

"Has Aguero been replaced?"

"No, Aguero is in such good shape in this game, how can he be replaced?"

"Pellegrini replaced Aguero when his brain was in the water"

"What does it mean to change the center forward at this score? Could it be that Pellegrini is thinking of holding on and trying not to be defeated? ”

"That's too unambitious, isn't it? This is the FA Cup semi-final, and to be honest, no matter who these two teams enter the final, the probability of winning the championship is very high! ”

The commentators were stunned.

No one can think of a reason to change people at this time.

Right now.

On the sidelines.

Fourth, the official played the sign of a Manchester City substitution.

It is clearly displayed.

On the 16th, Aguero was replaced.

On the 10th, Dzeko put it on.

Aguero was indeed replaced.

This inexplicable substitution made everyone a little confused.

So it took a while on the TV screen.

Only then did the substitution letter be typed.

TV viewers were reminded.

Manchester City did make a substitution.

Dzeko is on.

Aguero down.

Meanwhile.

The camera doesn't look at the stadium anymore.

It's looking for where Aguero is.

It seemed to sweep back and forth on the Manchester City bench several times.

Aguero is also not on the bench at Manchester City!

This is strange.

If Aguero was substituted at half-time.

Although it is difficult to understand.

But it's not impossible.

Maybe Aguero is a little injured or something?

Although judging from the situation in the first half, Aguero didn't look like he was injured and couldn't even go to the bench?

If Aguero hadn't been injured.

Then there is only one case left.

This player was not substituted for tactical reasons!!

What could be the reason for that?

Could it be infighting?

Strife in the locker room.

Causing a clash between Aguero and the manager?

It's certainly possible.

But why is there infighting in Manchester City?

Although Manchester City fell behind in the first half.

But it's just one goal behind.

It's not quite the end of the world yet.

Although the scene is very passive, they are not without the possibility of turning the scene.

Coming back to half-time from a goal behind, what is there to be worth infighting?

Everyone can say that they can't ride. Oh, it's puzzling.

Not to mention the narrator and the audience in front of the TV.

Even Pellegrini himself couldn't figure it out.

Why did Aguero jump out against himself at such a time.

Is it because of the words "we don't have Yelo" in the country before me?

But I later explained that I had appeased it.

Manchester City's top brass wants to buy Yelo, and he doesn't know about it.

Aguero is angry, so he shouldn't come at himself, right?

To say because of the things in this game.

That's even more incomprehensible.

The team is only one goal behind now.

It's not that there is no hope of winning.

What is the purpose of the attack at such a time?

Manuel Pellegrini's face turned pale.

He really couldn't figure it out.

The other side.

Arsene Wenger has also taken note of what is happening on City's side.

Although it is not known what happened to Aguero.

But Aguero is not on the pitch.

And obviously good news for Arsenal.

He was not interested in finding out what was going on inside City.

After discovering that Aguero was not on the bench at Manchester City.

I saw the expressions on the faces of the Manchester City players on the bench up close.

Add to that what Pellegrini looks like now.

Ancelotti could almost be concluded.

There must have been some unpleasantness between Aguero and Pellegrini!

And it should be very unpleasant.

That's the case.

Then this game will be even more advantageous for Arsenal.

This semi-final.

Arsenal won.

I'm sorry for God if I don't win.

Arsenal players such as Yelo have of course spotted anomalies.

Aguero was neither on the pitch nor on the bench.

Of course, no one knows exactly what happened.

But a main striker, a core attacker.

Inexplicably replaced.

And then now when no one is even on the pitch.

This must be what happened.

Most likely it is.

Infighting!!

Infighting?

Yelo and the Arsenal players looked at each other with a look of schadenfreude on their faces.

Arsenal are certainly unlikely to be sympathetic.

Now this is the case.

They don't fall into the ground.

That's impossible.

How much fighting power can a City fight with infighting?

If you don't take advantage of his illness to kill him, how can you be worthy of this good situation.

In fact, it is similar to what the Arsenal players think.

The sudden fighting in the dressing room made the game completely out of suspense.

City's players are still in the dressing room.

The conflict between the manager and the number one star has made them lose their belief in the game.

Face a strong enemy.

Manchester City themselves did not think about how to unite against their opponents.

Instead, he started infighting.

What else needs to be said about this result?

The second half of the game began. ，

Arsenal launched a fierce attack.

Manchester City's players are also almost unmotivated.

The team's front court core and the team's head coach are in direct confrontation.

This greatly disrupted and shook the morale of Manchester City's players.

They don't have the heart to keep playing.

The Manchester City players who are now on the pitch are simply trained for a long time.

They can also play a little bit according to inertia.

But at the end of the day.

Manchester City is now a car that has lost momentum.

The motivation to keep them playing is gone.

They don't know what their goal is for this game.

They don't know what they should be doing.

Coasting by inertia doesn't last long.

So Arsenal's goal came very quickly.

Fifty-third minute of the game.

Yelo made a series of passes at the edge of the penalty area, and Kompany tripped Yelo to the canvas with his kick.

Penalty kick!

A penalty without a suspense.

Yelo stands in front of the penalty spot.

Calmly push the ball into the goal.

Three to one!

Yelo didn't celebrate too much after the goal.

There isn't much suspense left in this game.

City fans don't even have many people in their minds.

Many of them are holding their phones and scrolling through the news.

Hopefully see the news of what happened to Aguero.

Now the grapevine is flying all over the place.

But it's a pity.

So many people use their phones in one area at the same time.

The signal is clogged.

And this goal from Yelo.

It was the straw that broke the camel's back.

In the stands.

A spectacular scene took place.

Manchester City fans.

In early exit.

The crowd was overwhelming.

The stands are emptying at a speed that is almost visible to the naked eye.

Manchester City fans have also lost momentum.

There's really no reason for them to keep cheering for the team.

Because they found.

The team turned out to be infighting.

They even felt the chill - we were in the stands, shouting and cheering for you, shouting and cheering.

Is that how you repay us?

Infighting?

In front of so many people.

In the midst of such an important final.

You're in a state of infighting!

Do you know it?

We, the Manchester City fans.

What a desire to beat Arsenal.

'The Manchester City fans are leaving the stadium and they are so disappointed with the team's performance that they can only protest in this way.

'The players at Manchester City shouldn't be like that, they have to be worthy of their shirts. Take 10,000 steps back, they are all professional players, and they should at least be worthy of their salaries. ”

'It's not something that a team of City's caliber should show on the pitch.

"The spirit of athletic competition should not be like this. Even if you lose the game, you shouldn't be so negative! ”

"I'm sorry for the fans who bought tickets!"

All of a sudden.

Almost all the narrators.

are criticizing the Manchester City players on the pitch.

Even if you lose.

Nor should it be such a loss.

At the very least, you should show your fighting spirit and the spirit of not admitting defeat.

It's a shame to be like that.

The camera's lens locked onto Manchester City president Abrak on the podium.

His face turned pale.

Angry at the team's almost humiliating performance.

In the FA Cup semi-final against Arsenal, such an important game.

The team turned out to be infighting!

Aguero and Pellegrini go head-to-head!!

Abrak, who got the news, was almost unbelievable.

He can imagine.

If this thing gets out.

Manchester city.

It's going to be a joke for other teams!

And he was also quite unhappy with the way Pellegrini handled it.

Even if something happens. ，

It should also be important to put the face of the team first.

That's how you take Aguero off.

It's like I'm afraid that others won't know that we're infighting.

Abrak had a bad eye on Pellegrini before.

Now he has a "murderous intention" towards Pellegrini.

He didn't even want to wait until the end of this game.

Just fire Pellegrini for squid.

After Arsenal led 3-1.

Arsenal were almost completely in control.

Manchester City are now in a bit of a losing streak.

Pellegrini's face was bitter.

He had hoped that the team would have made a breakthrough in the FA Cup.

The result?

Something like this happened.

The team's number one star suddenly made a surprise to ruin the game.

Yelo's hat-trick also sounded the death knell for Manchester City.

In the seventy-first minute of the game.

Yelo completed an assist.

Seizing a corner, his header was flicked to Virgil van Dijk, who was on the back of the game.

The young centre-back's header slammed into the City goal.

Four to one!

The game completely lost its suspense.

"Congratulations to Arsenal on reaching the FA Cup final!"

"Now Arsenal have reached both the Champions League and FA Cup finals, and the league title is within reach!"

"Let's look forward to Arsenal. Win the second treble in the history of English football! ”

"Now Arsenal are only one last step away from the treble!"

The game ended without any suspense.

Arsenal reached the FA Cup final.

The day after this game at Arsenal.

The results of the other semi-final are also in.

Surprisingly.

Everton was actually eliminated by Wigan Athletic - you know, now Wigan Athletic is deep in the relegation zone, and there is basically no hope of relegation.

However, it is this team that is destined for relegation to the Championship.

Actually eliminated Everton.

Reached the FA Cup final.

But if there is no other thing.

This small English side will certainly dominate the headlines more than Arsenal, one of England's two biggest clubs.

It's no surprise that they reached the FA Cup final.

News.

It's newsworthy things that don't happen often.

But Wigan Athletic's limelight was stolen by another, more newsworthy thing.

That is, the clash between Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini and Sergio Aguero at half-time was painfully brought out by the media.

Although everyone knows that.

The locker room is off-limits for the media.

Many managers strictly prohibit players from divulging what is happening in the dressing room to the media.

But.

There are no impermeable walls in the world.

So.

There will always be a lot of so-called secrets that have been disseminated by the media.

Let's say this time, for example.

The media that poked out the incident was the Manchester Evening News.

This is the local newspaper in Manchester.

The journalists' connections are among the most extensive in Manchester.

After all, the team is not only for the players.

And the staff.

This time, the report can be described as vivid.

Scenes of conflict.

It's specific about what the two sides actually said.

It's all depicted.

It's different from the past.

Often, such reports are dismissed as rumours – even if they are true.

But this time.

Whether it's Manuel Pellegrini or Sergio Aguero.

didn't come out to refute the rumors.

The two remained silent.

After losing the important FA Cup semi-final.

The silence between the two seemed too eerie.

It's not just the parties.

The rest of the City players were also silent.

Journalists went for interviews.

They all kept silent.

Pellegrini knows that too.

I haven't been at Manchester City for long.

But he doesn't see it as his failure.

He doesn't think he has the support of City's hierarchy to the point where he doesn't have much authority in the dressing room.

So Pellegrini also messed up after losing this game.

And what he didn't know was.

On Aguero's side.

There was also action.

Aguero's agent has proposed new conditions to the club's hierarchy to renew his contract: if Aguero wants to renew his contract, then Pellegrini must be gone.

As for who will take Pellegrini's place.

Aguero doesn't care.

Anyway, as long as it's not Pellegrini.

All of a sudden.

The Chilean engineer's position at Manchester City is in jeopardy.

A hat trick by Ye Luo directly forced the managers of Manchester City to leave class.

Pellegrini's soap opera lasted for days.

Originally, Manchester City wanted Pellegrini to resign voluntarily.

This would save them more than £20 million in liquidated damages.

But how would Pellegrini agree?

He can be said to have no good feelings for Manchester City at all.

How is it possible to still think of saving money for Manchester City?

So his reply was simple.

Liquidated damages are in place.

Leave.

Otherwise, he will continue to receive his salary.

There is no way for Manchester City.

In the end, a compromise was made.

Pellegrini's liquidated damages were paid.

They announced Pellegrini's departure before the season was over.

Then let the club's reserve coach temporarily take Pellegrini's place.

Manuel Pellegrini was fired.

Manuel Pellegrini blasted Manchester City in an interview with the media.

It is believed that Manchester City FC chose to support the player when there was a conflict between the player and the coach.

It's unfair to the manager.

And he is a backstabber.

It is only a scapegoat for the failure of Manchester City FC for many years.

He also said he didn't get enough respect.

criticized Aguero by name.

It was said that Aguero took the initiative to provoke the conflict and ruined the closest Manchester City game to the title.

Aguero has not publicly responded to the accusations of his previous manager.

He's busy renewing his contract with the club.

It was the day after Pellegrini was dismissed.

Manchester City announced the news of Aguero's contract extension with the team.

At the renewal press conference.

There is no way around the question about Pellegrini.

on this.

Aguero pouted: "It's not my style to comment on the previous manager, it's too tasteless." ”

This was the case for Pellegrini to hear.

is even more angry.

And so.

He began to make more noise, criticising many of City's players, suggesting that they were playing a dishonorable role in the dressing room.

Manchester City are in a miasma.

Many people's minds are not on playing, the whole team is excited, and the team's results have plummeted......

The 33rd round of the league is in full swing.

Manchester City take on West Ham United away from home.

As a result, the volatile Manchester City lost the game outright.

West Ham United won 2-0 at home to Manchester City.

After this game.

Manchester City are eleven points behind Arsenal.

As long as Arsenal win the next game.

Manchester City dropped out of the title race.

There is no theoretical possibility of winning the Premier League.

An FA Cup semi-final.

Completely disqualified Manchester City from being a rival with Arsenal (end of this chapter)
