Chapter 124 Champions League Top 8

The atmosphere of the award ceremony that followed was still full of joy.

Mourinho is also very happy. This is his first championship trophy in Manchester City, which is considered a fool.

The Manchester City fans at the scene were singing and dancing, and they were also celebrating the team's first championship trophy this season.

When Captain Carvalho raised the trophy high above his head, the atmosphere on the scene became even more enthusiastic.

After coming down, Mourinho put the gold medal in his pocket, still wanting more.

What makes him even more satisfied is the team's performance, which is full of dominant defensive strength and top-notch counterattack strength, which allows Manchester City to remain invincible.

Of course, the opponent's strength is not strong, and the test is yet to come.

In an interview on the sidelines, Mourinho showed his ambitions: "The League Cup title is just an appetizer. We will defend the Premier League title and strive for the Champions League title. This season our strength has increased a lot. We have big-name players. We Can kill any opponent."

Back in Manchester, several young players from Pahati were stuffed into the reserve team.

These little guys have good physical fitness, and the coaches of the reserve team did not refuse. A good body is a good start.

Goalkeeper Yerjeti Yahya has the best physical fitness. His height has reached 170 now, and he is only 11 years old, and he will grow longer in the future.

Midfielder Mai Tijiang is now 13 years old and has good physical fitness.

The oldest, Ilham Jiang, is about to turn 18 years old. Although his physical fitness is average, he has a good sense of the ball. He is also favored by the U19 head coach Pep Guardiola, who thinks he is a treasure.

He is very likely to enter the first team next season and become the representative of Chinese players in Manchester City.

For this reason, Jia Yi extracted all the abilities of the veteran Keen and gave them to Ilhamujiang.

Keane is about to retire and will become the echelon coach of the club. His ability has been given to Ilhamjiang. This will of course make Ilhamjiang reborn and become a core player in the midfield.

All the abilities of the veteran Desailly are given to Pahati, which will also make Pahati an excellent defender.

Mai Tijiang gets all the inheritance of Le Saux, and he will also grow into an iron-blooded wide player.

There are also many excellent coaches in this reserve team. With these talented young players, there is a lot of room for improvement in the future.

As long as these people grow up, Manchester City will not need to introduce any big-name players, and this will become the main theme of Manchester City in the future.

Youth training has become the main blood transfusion tool of the club, which is what a great club should do.

Entering March, the international competition day came.

This year there is the European Cup again, and all European teams are also adjusting their status.

In this round of friendly matches, everyone is basically experimenting with lineups.

England's 5-0 victory over Turkey at home showed excellent form.

Eriksson is also very satisfied with the team's state, especially Crouch's state.

The big bamboo pole kicked above the head, completely as if entering no one's land, and made the Turkish team's defense line into pieces.

Lampard has also become the core midfielder of the England team. He has contributed a lot on both ends of the offense and defense. This also allows Eriksson to completely establish Lampard's main position, and Gerrard can only stand aside up.

Even Captain Beckham may be commanded by Lampard at that time.

Ledlikin is also very stable on the defensive line. He has a very strong sense of grabbing and his movements are very clean.

Eriksson basically relies on the three players of Manchester City to be the core of the three lines. After the effect is tested, it may not change much in the future.

This kind of England team is still very scary. The core of the three lines has been determined. These three people come from a club and cooperate very well. This kind of fighting power is enough to bring the England team back to the top of Europe.

After returning from the warm-up match, Manchester City ushered in the challenge of Mo Locomotive at home.

Manchester City won by 1 goal in the first round. Returning to the home court this time, of course they will not give their opponents a chance.

However, after the start of the game, Manchester City still put up a defensive formation shamelessly. Mourinho is really thick-skinned.

In his own home court, he still plays like this, and most people really don't have this level.

Mo Locomotive had no choice but to attack. If they want to advance, they have to score goals, although they know that the chance is very small.

As a result, in less than 10 minutes, Manchester City seized the opportunity to counterattack. Ronaldinho, who had rested for a few games, scored with a low shot from the front of the penalty area, 1:0!

There is no way, Mo Locomotive will attack again, and they have fallen behind by two goals in the two rounds.

As a result, their goal was completely sieved.

Ronaldinho scored a hat-trick in the half, and he is in very good form, which is worth looking forward to.

It is estimated that Barcelona is also very happy. Such a Ronaldinho must be what they need.

Of course, they are also worried that on the other hand, the better Ronaldinho is, the higher the transfer fee will be, and it may be a sky-high price by then.

In the end, Manchester City completed a 6:0 massacre at home, eliminated Mo Locomotive 7:0 in two rounds, and reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

At the press conference after the game, Mourinho was also triumphant, thinking that Manchester City is in very good condition and can accept any team singled out.

"We were in control, the progression was solid and that's how I win.

Ugly?

We scored 6 goals, such a big victory, is it ugly?

The next opponent is Arsenal, and we will still adopt such tactics. I believe that we will be promoted by then. Arsenal is indeed stronger than Lokomotiv, but what does that mean? "

The other teams in the quarter-finals also followed. Manchester United and Arsenal in the Premier League both defeated their opponents and occupied a seat in the quarter-finals. The top three in the Premier League accounted for almost half of the country.

Porto, who originally won the final championship in this time and space, failed to cross the barrier of Manchester United this time.

Boas also regretted leaving the field. In terms of strength, Porto is still far behind Manchester United.

It is also quite simple for Arsenal to clean up Celta. The score in the two rounds was 5:1, and the strength gap between the two teams is obvious.

The defending champion AC Milan beat Sparta Prague 1-0 twice, and played quite efficiently. However, no team has defended the title since the restructuring of the Champions League, so AC Milan is not favored.

Juventus, the runner-up last season, did not cross the barrier of Deportivo. Although they won 2:1 at home, they lost 1:0 to Deportivo in the away game, 2:2 in the two rounds, but Deportivo relied on away goals. , Overcome the barrier of the old woman.

Real Madrid also drew with Besiktas 2:2 in the two rounds. This is also an accident. They only relied on more away goals to eliminate the Turkish team.

Can Galaxy Battleship play a second-rate team like this?Florentino's life is not easy. The team that has spent so much money to pile up, whether it is in La Liga or in the Champions League, is difficult to convince the crowd.

Two Ligue 8 teams, Lyon and Monaco, also reached the quarter-finals, especially Deschamps' Monaco, who still played well this time, double-killing Real Sociedad in two rounds, making Alonso hate the pitch.

Deschamps is good at using his brain when playing football, this time leading Monaco to the top 8, the young coach will also attract attention.

In the first half, AC Milan met Depor as promised. Will this fate humiliate them again?

In fact, everyone is optimistic about AC Milan now, and Depor is only a supporting team in La Liga. How can it compare with AC Milan, which has won the second most Champions League titles?

In this context, if you are upset, it will be even more chewy.

Manchester City will start a Premier League derby with Arsenal. This series will definitely explode in ratings.

This season the two teams have been neck-and-neck, but anyone with a discerning eye can see what happened at Highbury.

At that time, in the Champions League, the referee will not cause trouble for Manchester City. It is worth looking forward to whether Manchester City can retreat at Highbury Stadium this time.

In the second half, Manchester United will play Lyon and should be able to easily advance to the top four.

Lyon is the overlord in Ligue [-], but it is a pseudo-strong team in the European arena. It is okay to bully a young team like Stuttgart. It is basically difficult to steal chickens from the old and spicy Manchester United.

It's hard to say that Real Madrid met Monaco.

The latter has the characteristics of a dark horse. If Real Madrid capsizes in the gutter, it is estimated that Florentino's life will be even more difficult.

Back in the league, Manchester City ushered in a chance for revenge.

Another Manchester derby started this season, and this time it is the turn of Manchester City's home court.
