i want to be king

Chapter 859 Kill Arsenal in 10 minutes, I said it!
The external slogans are shouted loudly. If one's own strength and performance do not keep up, it will become a mouthful.

Guardiola is obviously not a person who likes to talk, on the contrary, he prefers to do something silently behind his back.

When many people saw the schedule, they thought that Manchester City's most difficult schedule had passed.

Because there will be no strong opponents in the future.

Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool have all fought. Except for Liverpool who scored three points at home, the four major families in the Premier League were double-killed by Manchester City without exception.

This report card is definitely the real deal.

During the analysis, many media felt that Manchester City can relax for a while, as long as they play normally, they can maintain the current hard-won lead and win the Premier League championship.

But in fact, it's not that simple.

Today's Manchester City is exhausted from long-term battles. Needless to say, the player consumption is huge. In March and April, everyone has almost reached their physical limit, but at this time, Manchester City will continue to fight on the third front. This is a very scary thing.

It’s like a person working overtime in the company for a week, and finally arrived at the weekend, thinking that he could take a good rest, but the boss suddenly told you, sorry, our company has received a big order and all work overtime on weekends.

Even if the salary offered by the boss is high enough, the overtime pay is sincere enough, and the bonus is attractive enough, will the employees have the urge to scold their mothers?Not to mention working hard, it's pretty good to be in a normal state.

Imagine the players as this group of employees, and you can understand the situation Manchester City is in at this moment.

In multi-line combat, the fatigue index is a process of continuous accumulation and climbing.

The closer you get to the end, the greater the pressure and the higher the possibility of a crash.

Just like Arsenal's unbeaten record back then, why did it start with Rooney and end with Rooney?

Sometimes it's psychological.

……

Manchester City's upcoming schedule is very intensive.

The league faces Tottenham Hotspur and Blackburn, the FA Cup faces Arsenal, and the Europa League faces Braga.

Several consecutive games are intertwined, and the schedule is quite dense.

"Braga can be eliminated by us first."

Manel Estiat is Guardiola's think tank, responsible for overall strategic analysis and team management.

"We defeated the Portuguese Super League team [-]-[-] in an away game, and the next game is at home. The problem should not be too big."

In addition to the technical director Begiristan, captain Su Dong, two vice-captains, and the coaching staff participated in the regular meeting, they all nodded in agreement with Estiat's analysis.

After defeating their opponents [-]-[-] in the away game and basically having won the right to advance, if Manchester City still beat Braga at home, it would definitely be out of their minds.

"Our biggest problem right now is Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Blackburn.

From the schedule, Manchester City will meet Braga first in the middle of the week. This is the second round of the Europa League quarter-finals knockout match. On the weekend, it is Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.

So, we will play Arsenal first on the weekend, Tottenham Hotspur in the middle of next week, and Blackburn on the weekend.

These three teams are hard stubble!

Arsenal is the FA Cup, a battle will determine the outcome.

Tottenham Hotspur has the strength of the top four in the Premier League, and Manchester City is playing at home. If they are pulled down, Manchester United behind them is bound to shorten the gap again. With the current situation, Manchester City is in danger.

Even, once there is a loosening, the advantage that the club has finally established may be overturned at any time.

Finally, needless to say Blackburn, this team is very difficult to deal with, the first game between the two sides is an example.

In other words, these three games are very difficult for Manchester City, and they must do their best to win.

From the perspective of the strategic structure of the entire league, if all three games are won, Manchester City reaches the FA Cup final, and the Premier League basically establishes the general trend, then Manchester City can be regarded as out of the current predicament.

If you are entangled, the situation in the league will continue to be stalemate, and the FA Cup is a game to determine the outcome, and you will be eliminated if you lose.

"We will never give up against Arsenal in the FA Cup. We will try our best to win against Tottenham and Blackburn in the league. So what is before us now is how to use the resources in our hands."

After Estiat finished speaking, he looked at Guardiola and everyone present, and sat down silently.

Everyone knows that Manchester City's biggest problem at present is the frontcourt offense.

To put it simply, the offense in the frontcourt is still weak.

It is no secret that Di Maria and Sanchez lack strong substitute players, so the media has been hyping before that Manchester City will poach William, Douglas Costa and Teixeira from Shakhtar Donetsk.

Although Adam Johnson had a good performance for a while, he was still not satisfactory.

This is a consistent characteristic of English players, and their ability to hold the ball is too weak.

Dzeko was brought in as Su Dong's substitute. His strength is beyond doubt, but his movements are still slow. This caused him to have some problems when cooperating with Manchester City players, and he was not particularly adaptable to the Premier League situation.

Now there are voices outside, that is, Manchester City made the wrong choice when signing in. They should not choose Dzeko, but should buy Suarez, because the latter's performance in Liverpool is very eye-catching.

But sometimes, team transfer is not a panacea, and it is difficult to achieve 100% perfection.

So the problem now is that the core combat power in the hands of Manchester City is the trident combination of Su Dong, Di Maria and Sanchez, especially Su Dong. When he is there, Manchester City has the confidence and confidence.

The problem is, it's impossible to use Su Dong to death, right?

He is already one of the top three players in Manchester City's playing time this season. In March and April, if he is still used like this, there will be problems.

The best way is for Su Dong to take turns, some starting and some coming off the bench.

"Su, what do you think?" Guardiola asked.

Everyone immediately turned their realization to Su Dong, and they all knew in their hearts that Su Dong's opinion was very important.

The coaching staff may even arrange troops around his opinion to deal with the next schedule.

Su Dong sat in his seat and looked at the concerned eyes of the crowd. He nodded slightly, "It stands to reason that the game against Arsenal is the most important. The FA Cup semi-final is another game to determine the outcome. I think everyone will think that we should do our best to play Arsenal, and then play Tottenham Hotspur depending on the situation."

Everyone nodded, this way of thinking is normal.

"But I don't know if you have noticed. The points between Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea are very tight. This means that Tottenham Hotspur will fight us desperately for the top four places. They will not give up any chance. This will be the most difficult battle."

The top four in the league, how big the temptation is, needless to say.

It was previously reported by the media that Atlético de Madrid played in the Champions League and did not win a game in the group stage. They took away a prize money of 600 million euros, which is 600 million euros!
If it is a Premier League team, the bonus will be even more.

It can be said that this is an income that no team can give up.

Relying on this bonus, Atletico Madrid entered the top [-] of the European football club income rankings in one fell swoop. With this money, they changed their shotguns all at once and operated the team's lineup innovation.

If Atletico Madrid runs smoothly, the overall strength of this team will continue to improve from now on and in the next few years.

So Atletico Madrid has tasted the sweetness. This season, they don't even play the Europa League, and try their best to hit the top four in the league.

Atletico Madrid understands the truth, will Everton, Tottenham Hotspur and other teams not understand?

If you compare this to a business, which company in the world can underestimate such a transaction worth over [-] million yuan?

"Tottenham Hotspur vowed to win the top four. They will definitely fight us to the end. That is to say, this game will be the same as Arsenal's FA Cup knockout round. It will be an endless decisive battle!" Su Dong analyzed very firmly.

Everyone frowned immediately.

Whether it is Tottenham or Arsenal, they are all prepared and know that it will be difficult.

But now that Su Dong said this, they immediately felt that these two games would be more difficult than expected, especially the home game against Tottenham Hotspur.

"What do you think?" Guardiola asked with concern.

"Concentrate your forces and play the most difficult game."

Guardiola and everyone frowned immediately, both games were difficult, which one was more difficult?
"You mean, Tottenham Hotspur?" Begiristain guessed.

Su Dong nodded, "I think, in comparison, Tottenham Hotspur will be more difficult."

"Why?" Guardiola was curious.

No matter how you look at it, it won't be more difficult for Tottenham Hotspur, right?

Arsenal is in the semi-finals of the FA Cup. With no chance in the league, Wenger will definitely try his best to compete for the FA Cup.

Same goes for Tottenham, but shouldn't it be harder for Arsenal?

"I feel it." Su Dong said helplessly, "Compared to Tottenham Hotspur's defense, especially the central defender, I think Arsenal will deal with it better."

The crowd looked at each other in dismay.

Is this the reason?
It seems to be true!
It's just that if Wenger listened to it, he would probably cry miserably!
Nima, isn't this too contemptuous of people?

Although Manchester City won [-]-[-] in the away game, it would not demean Arsenal so much!

Who do you look down on?
"For the game against Arsenal, let Dzeko rush for a while. If you can win, it's fine. If you can't win, give me three 10 minutes!"

Everyone was surprised.

Three 10 minutes can kill Arsenal?
Although you are the hero, you have to be responsible for what you say!

Guardiola thought repeatedly in his heart.

If it is true as Su Dong said, then Manchester City's main players can all be kept to play Tottenham Hotspur.

Su Dong's idea is a little bit different from his previous thinking, but he also feels that Su Dong's idea has a great possibility.

To put it bluntly, Arsenal also has its own problems. Before the FA Cup, they will play Liverpool and Bolton away after the FA Cup. With Chelsea rebounding against the trend in the second half, the gap between Arsenal and Chelsea in fourth and Tottenham in fifth is not particularly big.

Wenger dare to bet on the FA Cup?

If you are not careful, you may even lose the bet on the top four!
