Starting from entering Kawazu

Chapter 187 The schedule is very good
On March 3, Manchester City ushered in the black cat Sunderland at home.

Sunderland adjusted the lineup after the winter break, but there is still no big improvement.

Carroll played well in Sunderland and scored 5 goals, but he will definitely not play this game against his own team.

Mourinho's formation is also a headache. The players are not in good condition. For the purpose of protecting the players, he dare not send them on the field casually, but in general he has enough 11-man roster.

No way, Mourinho actually put Ilhamjiang at the front, none of the other four forwards, and Lampard was behind Ilhamjiang.

In the 22 minutes of the game, Ilham Jiang broke through with the ball in the frontcourt, causing the opponent's defender to fall to the ground inexplicably. Afterwards, Ilham Jiang entered the penalty area and faced the opponent's goalkeeper. , Lampard pushed into the empty goal and scored the only goal of the game.

After the game, Mourinho also praised Ilham Jiang, thinking that he is a selfless player who made great contributions to the team's victory.

Originally, Mourinho was not very optimistic about role players, especially since Ilham Jiang is a Chinese player, he instinctively felt that he was the boss.

Therefore, after being strengthened a lot by Jia Yi, Yilihamujiang still has very few chances to play this season.

This game should change Mourinho's opinion of him a lot.

In the second round of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals in the middle of the week, Ilham Mujiang continued to start.

Because the first round has already led by 4 goals, so there is not much suspense in the game.

比分是1:1，曼城两回合5:1淘汰阿贾克斯，杀入8强。

四分之一决赛的对手是西甲黄色潜水艇比利亚雷亚尔队，他们两回合2:2，1:1跟波尔图踢成3:3平局，不过凭借客场进球多晋级8强。

This Villarreal team is strong, and Riquelme is considered to be the last traditional No. 10. On the forward line, Uruguayan striker Forlan also played well. He scored 8 goals in the Champions League this season. At that time, it will be the target that Manchester City needs to focus on anti-counterfeiting.

In other games, Arsenal tied Real Madrid 0:0 at home and advanced 1:0 in two rounds.

Wenger was also very practical. He fought hard for 1 point at home and finally got his wish.

It is really embarrassing that Real Madrid's luxurious lineup has played a poor hand.

曼联主场5:0狂扫本菲卡，总比分5:1翻盘杀入8强。

In terms of strength, there is no way to compare. Benfica can win at home, even if it is to save face.

Chelsea's tenacious 1:1 draw with Barcelona away, the total score was eliminated 2:3, this is two consecutive seasons defending champions have been eliminated by Barcelona's top 8, Rijkaard's team is really interesting.

The Serie A team Juventus defeated Bremen 2:1 at home. Although Bremen won the first leg 3:2, the total score was 4:4. Juventus advanced to the top 8 with more away goals, and the Bremen players He vomited blood with anger.

Chinese player Dong Fangzhuo scored a valuable away goal in the opening game to give Werder Bremen the lead, but it was a pity that they could not keep the fruits of victory in the end.

AC Milan returned home and beat Bayern 4:1, advanced 5:2 in two rounds, and the Bundesliga team was wiped out.

The Lyon team also defeated Eindhoven 4:1 at home and reached the quarterfinals.

The format of the quarter-finals, Manchester City VS Villarreal, Arsenal VS Juventus, Manchester United VS Barcelona, ​​AC Milan VS Lyon.

The media predicts that the top four will be Manchester City, Arsenal, Barcelona and AC Milan. This makes sense, but Manchester United will definitely hit the sparks when they play Barcelona. In the two rounds of confrontation, sparks will hit the earth, and Arsenal will play Juventus. This may be the last glory of Juventus. Soon they will suffer a major blow. At that time, there will be no six or seven years, and it will be difficult to recover.

Both Manchester City and AC Milan are considered to be soft persimmons. Of course, this is also analyzed from the perspective of strength comparison, but anything can happen on the football field, especially the two rounds of knockout matches.

In any case, these eight teams have already represented the strongest strength of European clubs, and they will also get rich rewards this season.

Back in the league, Manchester City once again encountered the relegation team Portsmouth, which also gave the main players a chance to breathe.

After being treated by traditional Chinese medicine, many players have gradually recovered and basically met the requirements of the game.

The result of the game was 0:2. Manchester City defeated their opponents with the goals of Bolt and Kaka. With 9 games left in the league, they lead the No.2 Chelsea by 10 points.

A week later, the team beat Wigan Athletic 2-0 at home, another easy pass.

The opponents in these rounds are too weak, giving Manchester City an easy schedule.

In contrast, the opponent did not have such good luck.

Manchester United was tied 2:2 by Leeds United in the away game. After Arsenal defeated Charlton, they took the opportunity to surpass Manchester United in points.

The second-ranked Chelsea drew 1:1 with Fulham, watched Manchester City open 12 points, and watched their opponents go away.

The suspense of the league championship is undoubtedly gone. Manchester City will win the Premier League for four consecutive times, making the opponents look up.

However, in the FA Cup in midweek, Manchester City lost 1:2 to West Ham United. It seems that Mourinho also gave up the cup tactically.

Seeing the players' status, he also chose a large number of reserve team players to participate in the competition, and the result was not surprising.

Next, he will concentrate on dealing with the league and the Champions League. Mourinho feels that these are the two most important championships. After winning these two championships, he can also explain it. Leaving Manchester City is also very glorious.

Life is not perfect, and Mourinho can only leave a little regret.

In the 31st round of the league, Manchester City challenged Chelsea away.

Once Manchester City wins, the lead will be stretched to 15 points, so the suspense for the league title can only stay in theory.

And Mourinho also sent all the main players, now it's time for them to come back to kill the suspense.

At the press conference before the game, Klopp also hoped to win at home and delay Manchester City's pace of winning the championship.

"Manchester City is also fighting on multiple fronts, and they will also be tired. I hope we can have a good result this time."

Klopp still thinks very ideally.

Mourinho said: "Our goal is to end the opponent's ideas away from home. Chelsea have played well this season. They have scored enough points. They are very stable. It is a great spur for us because they are trying to catch up. We will play harder, so we have only drawn one game so far, we are now the best team in Europe, so there is no reason not to continue to score points away, if we lead by 15 points, we can put more energy In the Champions League, we want to win the Champions League."

Mourinho wants to make Klopp feel that the reality is cruel first. With the current state of the two teams, Manchester City is obviously slightly better.

Players on loan from Manchester City can still play against Manchester City at Stamford Bridge. This may be Klopp's biggest reliance, right?
