Lord of Greenery

Chapter 512
Someone conducted an investigation and found that Manchester City's suspension is something that many England fans like to hear.

After investigation, about [-]% of England fans believe that the punishment for Manchester City is correct.

Manchester City is naturally very dissatisfied with this penalty. The spokesperson of the Abu Dhabi consortium claimed that they would fight UEFA. They have spent a lot of money to hire a team of lawyers. They are a group of horrible guys who can tell black into white.

Although the top management has made preparations for the death penalty and claimed that they will not sell any players, there is a bit of panic inside Manchester City.

Except for Kompany and David Silva, the other players are not symbols of Manchester City, but a group of mercenaries.

They have no loyalty to Manchester City, they just take money to do things.

Could it be that they were still Manchester City fans when they were young?

When Sun Jihai played for Manchester City, he said that there are no Manchester City fans in Huaguo, and it would be good if the fans didn't mistake him for a Manchester United player.

Previously, Manchester City was not a giant in the Premier League. Manchester City in Sun Jihai's period was just a mid-range team in the Premier League, and sometimes they had to work hard to avoid relegation.

In addition to local fans, how many fans can a team with this kind of achievement attract?
It is even more impossible for this generation of players to grow up watching Manchester City. Naturally, they will not have any superfluous feelings for this team.

Silva and the others are different. They have played in Manchester City for long enough, loyal and outstanding, and have become a symbol of the team.

Even if it is really two seasons without the Champions League, they are willing to stay.

Statues are even made of clubs if they want to buy horse bones.

For players, things like standing bronze statues can last a lifetime.

They are not like Henry. In Manchester City, they will not worry about annual salary and contract issues. The top management has plenty of money.

It can take money and become a symbol, and there is no shortage of league championships.

If you win the Champions League with a top performance, wouldn't your life be complete?

Even if there is no Champions League champion, they are full winners in life.

In this case, they have no reason to leave.

Other players are different. The absence of the Champions League for two seasons is not the most troublesome part.

The most troublesome part is that if Manchester City is really sanctioned by the Financial Fair Play Act, it means that Manchester City can no longer sign in wantonly in the future.

Without such large-scale signings, can Manchester City maintain long-term competitiveness?

This has to be a question mark.

Manchester City has been inseparable from Jin Yuan from its reconstruction to its rise to its radiance.

Not to mention others, just say that Aguero and the others were also talented players back then. Why would they want to come to Manchester City to play football?
Isn't it because of the high salary?
If it is really implemented in accordance with FFP, Manchester City's biggest advantage will be gone, and its biggest disadvantage will be exposed instead.

If the level of sales is low, the net investment in transfers will not be low.

Lose two seasons of Champions League qualification and sponsors will be even more stingy.

Moreover, there seems to be a conflict between the Manchester City club and the fans. Their tickets for the Champions League are not sold very much, and less than 75% of the seats in the stadium are occupied.

Sponsorship fees and ticket money are nothing to the Abu Dhabi consortium, anyway, they are not short of money.

But if Manchester City is really going to be self-financed, this money is essential.

Otherwise, how much will Manchester City's transfer fee be cut each season?

Manchester City has not yet proved themselves, proving that they can be competitive enough without relying on gold dollars.

Excluding players who come for money and players who have no confidence in the team, how competitive can Manchester City be guaranteed now?
No one can beat this package.

More importantly, other clubs are happy to add insult to injury, and Manchester City has too many treasures hidden in it.

Bayern is coveting Sane, De Bruyne is the midfielder that all giants desire, Sterling's performance this season is terrifying, Kyle Walker is now the Premier League's first full-back, Laporta Now the number one centre-back in the Premier League...

Moreover, everyone hates Manchester City's big money, they will always use tickets to seduce their own players.

At worst, it can also suppress Manchester City's momentum.

Traditional forces are always reluctant to move their cakes by rising stars.

A Chelsea has already made the competition in the Premier League more and more fierce. Another Manchester City will really make the small Premier League teams see no hope and make the strong teams struggle for four headaches.

In this case, the 28th round of the Premier League has begun.

Manchester United won the strong duel with Chelsea 2:1, Liverpool slaughtered West Ham United 5:2, Li Ze scored twice again, Tottenham beat Crystal Palace 1:0, but the most watched battle was Arsenal Home game against Manchester City.

The outside time has undoubtedly affected the state of Manchester City's players, and their performance has dropped a lot visible to the naked eye.

The most important thing is that Arsenal is not completely a soft persimmon. Knowing that Manchester City is in turmoil, the Arsenal players are also much braver.

The final score was 2:2. With David Silva's goal and Sane's tie, Guardiola struggled to take 1 point.

From the perspective of Manchester City, this performance cannot be considered bad. After all, Manchester City can still score points against the Premier League big6 away, so the performance cannot be considered bad anyway.

It's just that compared with the unstoppable momentum before, Manchester City seems to be missing something now. They beat Leicester City 5:1 in the last round.

"I don't want to talk about those things anymore, we didn't have a problem, we were able to win the league and now we are 14 points ahead!"

But in the 29th round of the Premier League, Manchester City lost 1:2 to Chelsea.

This is the second time Manchester City has lost this season, which made Li Ze excited.

If he remembers correctly, on the original trajectory, Manchester City double-killed Chelsea this season. He remembers it clearly, because both times were 1-0, and Conte lost relatively small and less dignified.

In the same round, Liverpool defeated Newcastle 3:1. Li Ze, Salah and Mane each scored a goal. Li Ze also met his old coach Benitez.

More importantly, now Manchester City's point advantage has become 11 points, with 73 points far ahead of Manchester United and Liverpool who accumulated 62 points.

There are less than 10 rounds left in the game, and the lead of 11 points is exaggerated enough.

"We still have a big advantage."

There are not many people who refute Guardiola's stubbornness, because their advantage is really great.

It's just that many people are looking forward to it, looking forward to Manchester City really capsized.

That way, it's really interesting, they can make fun of Manchester City for 20 years!

Some people think that it doesn't matter if Manchester City wins. There seems to be news from UEFA that even if Manchester City wins the championship this season, their championship will be cancelled.

Guardiola feels very bitter here, because of this incident, people in the team are panicked, and they have encountered two giants Chelsea and Arsenal in succession.

If they could meet weaker opponents at this time and win teammates to build confidence, then Manchester City might not be so turbulent.

Guardiola is also a little guilty now, for fear that he will fall down with the team.

He is also really afraid, afraid that the team will be deprived of the league championship this season, and afraid that the team will really be relegated.

The turmoil that Manchester City is now facing is no less than that of Juventus during the Calciopoli era!
