Chapter 178
The draw ceremony for the quarter-finals of the Champions League also came soon, and this time Manchester City met the Dutch giants Ajax.

There is no doubt that the opponent is also one of the most successful teams in the history of the Champions League. In the 70s, they created the glory of the Champions League three consecutive times. In the 94-95 season, they also defeated the thriving AC Milan to win the fourth Champions League.

Ajax is the cradle of talent. Once their talented players play well, any opponent may fall at their feet.

However, Manchester City is also a new giant that has emerged in recent seasons, and has always been in control of the situation. This time who can have the last laugh, the media is still more inclined to Manchester City.

In the league in December, Manchester City successively killed Charlton, Crystal Palace, Birmingham and Wigan Athletic. In the last game of 12, they ushered in the final test of the first half at Stamford Bridge.

In the first 18 rounds, Manchester City ranked first with 18 consecutive victories, and Chelsea ranked second with 16 wins and 2 ties. This is a confrontation between two undefeated teams.

Klopp's team is running aggressively, the game is focused, very focused.

This is an important factor that makes them difficult to beat, although it seems that their player strength cannot be compared with Manchester City, Manchester United and Arsenal.

On the offensive end, Cavani and Suarez do have a set of cooperation. They and Bridge are playing against their old clubs this time, and they must both want to perform and prove themselves.

Jia Yi also appeared at the Stamford Bridge Stadium. He brought his wife and children to make a debut.

He hasn't shown up for nearly half a year, and many Premier League fans seem to have forgotten him.

Little Jia Yu also leaned cutely in Sharapova's arms, looking around curiously, but soon fell asleep.

Bates on the side was also very happy to invite Jia Yi's family to watch the game at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea and Manchester City have a good relationship. Bates and Jia Yi also have a good personal relationship, and the two chatted happily.

Not long after the opening, Cavani frequently shot long shots from the front of the penalty area, trying his foot style.

His running position is very flexible, and his confrontation ability is not weak. It is still very nervous for Manchester City to defend.

Fortunately, Cech played well. Since he put on the headgear, he is really similar to You Tanzhi. His strength has been rising all the way, and he is more stable than before. The Czech team can participate in the World Cup. Apart from Nedved, Cech has the most credit , The Czech team is the team with the fewest goals conceded in the European preliminaries.

In 11 minutes, Cavani made a false shot and made a real pass. Suarez's push shot in the penalty area was miraculously saved by Petr Cech!
In the 14th minute, Gremi put in an assist. After he cooperated with Cavani, he took a long shot. The ball flew trickily to the lower left corner. Cech still made a side throw and saved the ball directly to the bottom line.

The fans of the home team at Stamford Bridge are very regretful. The opponent has such a super goalkeeper. Today it seems that it is difficult to beat the opponent and narrow the points gap.

In 20 minutes, Manchester City launched a fast break from the left. Abed made a high-speed pass and made a pass. Chelsea goalkeeper Cudicini hit the ball. Unfortunately, he made a mistake this time and the ball was not hit out of the penalty area. , but rose into the sky.

Cudicini then slipped and fell down again, and could only watch helplessly as Manchester City striker Charlie Sheringham headed the ball into the empty goal, 0;1!
"Ah, what is the goalkeeper doing? There are all kinds of mistakes."

In the box, Bates slapped his thigh regretfully, and couldn't help complaining about Cudicini.

Jia Yi said with a smile: "Actually, Cudicini is not bad. It's normal to make a mistake once in a while. He may have some problems with the strength of Abed's pass. Abed's pass is very powerful. Hou Piao, an ordinary goalkeeper would not dare to attack."

Bates said: "Yeah, it seems that it is difficult for us to beat you again today. You guys, you are so lucky. You can find such a good player from places like Egypt. I heard that he was a hunter before." Crocodile?"

Jia Yi smiled and said: "Yes, look at his physical condition, how good he is, and his speed is fast. Many clubs want to buy him at a high price, but obviously I won't sell it now."

Bates showed an envious expression and said, "Why don't you sell it to us? We have such a strong relationship, so you're too embarrassed to refuse me, aren't you?"

Jia Yi hehe said: "Here it is again, I'll loan players to you. It seems that your conditions are a little better, and you want to toss again, right? There is no 4000 million pounds, and you can't get it. In this way, you Finances will be tight again.”

Bates smiled and said: "Don't worry buddy, we have passed the crisis now, we can continue to participate in the Champions League, we can get a high share every year, this Abed, you can sell it to me, he and Brie If both sides fly together, Chelsea will be able to maintain their championship strength for a long time, I hope you can help me."

Jia Yi secretly thought that you have said that, what else can I do?
"Well, since you insist, Abed will be yours next season. There is really nothing you can do about it."

Jia said nicely.

Bates said: "Man, happy cooperation!"

The game continues.

After Manchester City took the lead, the ability to control the situation gradually returned. Through skillful passing, they firmly controlled the ball.

On the coaching bench, Mourinho and Guardiola kept talking. Obviously, Guardiola's weight has become more and more important now. Mourinho also handed over all the usual training to Guardiola.

The current relationship between these two people is really good, it is completely different from another time and space.

Mourinho's three-year contract is also about to expire, and now there is no progress in the renewal negotiations.

According to Pierce's inference, Mourinho will leave Manchester City next summer with a high probability, and Guardiola will be a good successor by then.

Jia Yi naturally agrees with this. Guardiola himself is a brainy person. The Barcelona, ​​Bayern and Manchester City he created in another time and space are all outstanding, very ornamental and practical, and have many honors.

There is nothing wrong with letting Guardiola replace Mourinho. The relationship between the two should be handed over well by then.

In the 40th minute, German defender Huth made another mistake when defending Charlie Sheringham.

The referee awarded a penalty without hesitation, and the Chelsea players did not come up to argue.

In the stands, Chelsea fans are already extremely pessimistic. Once they give the opponent a two-goal advantage, Chelsea will definitely have no way to get it back.

Kaka did it overnight, rewriting the score to 0:2!

Afterwards, Chelsea did not come back. The scene was firmly controlled by Manchester City from beginning to end. Goalkeeper Petr Cech was also named the best player of the game after the game. He saved the opponent's shots many times and became the biggest contributor to Manchester City's victory.

"The game was intense and Chelsea played very steadily. There is no doubt that under Jurgen's training, Chelsea have been reborn. They are stronger than any previous era. Their physical confrontation ability is very strong and they run very actively. , the overall strength is comparable to ours.”

Mourinho also affirmed Chelsea after the game. It seems that he also admires Chelsea and Klopp.

Klopp said: "Manchester City is still better at grasping opportunities than us. Now that the score has been stretched to 7 points, it will be very difficult to catch up with them. We will strive to keep our current ranking."
