Chapter 999 The Battle of Tianwang Mountain

The quarter-finals of the Champions League are about to start, but before that, the feuding Manchester City duo in the Premier League standings this season will have to compete.

This is the 33rd round of the league. Manchester United ranked first with 86 points in one less game, Manchester City ranked second with 83 points in two games less, and Chelsea ranked third with only 73 points. With only 6 league rounds left, it is basically over. There is no hope of winning the championship.

For Manchester United, they can accept a draw, because the hard stubble in the second half of the season has already been played, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Everton have all played, and the rest are mid-lower balls The team, namely Tottenham, is relatively strong. The relegation quota for this season has almost been determined. The mid-lower teams will not work hard. It is unlikely that Manchester United will lose points.

But it is difficult for Manchester City to accept a draw, because Guardiola still needs to face Chelsea, Arsenal, and Tottenham. They will definitely go all out, because the fourth-ranked Liverpool is only 1 point away, and the fifth-ranked Tottenham are only 3 points away, all within one game.

What's more, with several big victories last month, Manchester United's goal difference has surpassed Manchester City, and the gap between the two sides is 8 goals.

In the live broadcast hall, Carragher nodded and said: "In a word, Manchester City can take the initiative to win the championship if they score 3 points. If they are tied or even lose, Manchester United is likely to win the championship early for the third consecutive season."

"Everyone knows the key to this game." The host said with a smile: "Although Best has entered the squad, will he start the game...Guardiola must be thinking about it."

In addition to Liverpool star Carragher, Newcastle United star Alan Shearer, and Manchester United star Gary Neville, the guests present today.

"Who knows?" Gary Neville spread his hands, "I haven't been to Carrington Base for a long time, but the newspaper said that Best didn't participate in yesterday's public training camp."

"What newspaper?"

"Uh... The Sun"

There was laughter in the live broadcast hall.

"Anyway, he didn't play in the last round of the league." Gary Neville said with a smile: "He didn't even get up from the coaching bench."

"Well, everyone has seen it." Carragher coughed twice, "but everyone knows Best's cunning."

"This kind of smoke bomb has been played by Mourinho before." Gary Neville recalled: "And more than once or twice."

The host brought the topic back, "From the perspective of strength comparison, both sides are the teams with the best form this season, the deepest bench, and the best record. The two teams combined only lost two games."

"But there is also a big difference." Alan Shearer commented: "At least the styles of the two sides are very different on the front line. Best will always let Harry Kane or Falcao be at the top, and arrange behind him." Two second strikers who can play side to side, but Guardiola has abandoned Aguero in recent games and used Jesus, who has better running ability."

"If Best doesn't start in the midfield, Manchester City will definitely have an absolute advantage." Gary Neville continued: "JD, Vidal, Fernandinho, David Silva, Xavi A Lonzo, and De Bruyne."

"Haha, De Bruyne... This is his best chance to restore his reputation." Carragher laughed: "If he can beat Best, he may be able to get rid of Best's shadow."

In the first two months, Sun Wu played as stable and efficient as ever, and even produced a miracle of five assists in 9 minutes. After being stimulated by the media and Sun Wu, De Bruyne played frequently. Only in the last one or two games All the better.

In the office at the Carrington base, Sun Wu picked up the remote control to turn off the TV, shook his head and said, "Get rid of my shadow... It's easier for the Belgians to switch leagues."

Giggs shrugged, "We can always meet in the Champions League."

"It may not be possible to hit it once in a few years." Sun Wu turned his head and asked, "Dr. Swell, how is the specific situation?"

"Fletcher will definitely not be able to play." Dr. Swell held the report in his hand. "Milner had three stitches on his head. It is recommended to rest for at least a week. Pawar can play without any problems."

Sun Wu paced back and forth a few steps, "Coleman starts, let's see if he can restrain his old teammate Bynes."

"The key is the adjustment of the offensive line." Mike Phelan reminded: "Harry Kane has been in a mediocre state recently, and Falcao started?"

"Well, Falcao is starting." Sun Wu nodded in agreement, "Both Mane and Salah are on the squad, but they are both placed on the bench."

"Griezmann and Bernardo Silva?" Rolf was a little surprised, "The new formation has only been practiced for a week..."

Sun Wu was speechless. As the core of the team, he also served as the head coach. This brought him great convenience, but it also brought a problem. One person's time and energy are limited.

Facing Guardiola, it is difficult to achieve satisfactory results without bringing out some new gadgets and relying on hard power alone.

Therefore, in tomorrow's game, Manchester United needs to show its soft power.

What is soft power?
The mental state of the players, the team's tactical changes, and Sun Wu, the head coach, created all kinds of accidents on the field that caught Guardiola off guard. These are all manifestations of soft power.

After the meeting, Sun Wu came home, and as soon as he walked into the living room, he saw Patrick sitting on the sofa... This guy hasn't been here for a long time, although it's only separated by a wall.

Patrick's eyes shot at Sun Wu's legs like lightning...

Sun Wu reflexively dragged his right foot...

There was silence in the living room for a long time before Patrick said coldly: "The fight will start tomorrow, but you are quite quiet this time."

As a player and assistant coach, Sun Wu likes to hate people very much, but since he became the head coach, he has really settled down a lot, and it is rare to find a time to hate people.

"One more night, maybe Manchester United fans beat Manchester City fans to the hospital in the bar again."

Patrick's face turned black. The Manchester police once revealed to the media that in the past three years, fans of the Manchester City duo often had fights before the derby, but Manchester United fans had the upper hand and accounted for [-]%...

It was only then that Sun Wu realized that there was a problem with the selection of the target of the slander, so he laughed a few times and forced to change the subject, "Gesus did a good job, Josep has a great vision."

"That's true!" Patrick nodded and began to give Jesus all kinds of praises.

After listening for a while, and listening for a while, after hearing Patrick's high evaluation of the toughness and strength of Manchester City players, Sun Wu couldn't help it, and blurted out habitually, "It's a pity that Milner played Can't play."

Well, as soon as Milner's name was uttered, Patrick turned black again.

Since the Manchester Derby last season, Milner has become famous. He has become a symbol of British football who is tenacious, tenacious, never gives up, and is willing to sacrifice for victory.

On the contrary, although Sterling has now scored 19 league goals, the hat of weakness and crybaby has always been worn on his head.

Dragging his right foot to send Patrick out the door, Sun Wu turned to Christine and said, "Look, he's so stingy."

Christine rolled her eyes and hesitated for a while before saying, "Best, last time he went to see you at the Carrington base...it seems that your left ankle was injured."
