I Want to Be the King of Football

The external slogans were loudly shouted, and if their own strength and performance did not keep up, it would be a mouthpiece.

Guardiola is obviously not a person who likes to play tricks. On the contrary, he prefers to do things silently behind his back.

When many people saw the schedule, they thought that Manchester City's toughest schedule was over.

Because there is no strong opponent in the future.

Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool have all been beaten. Except for Liverpool's three points at home, the four major families of the Premier League were all beaten by Manchester City without exception.

This report card is absolutely solid.

When analyzing, many media think that Manchester City can take it easy for a while. As long as they play normally, they will be able to maintain their hard-won lead and win the Premier League championship.

But in reality, it's not that simple.

Nowadays, Manchester City is exhausted after a long battle. Needless to say, the players consume a lot. In March and April, everyone has almost reached the physical limit, but at this time, Manchester City will continue to maintain the third-line battle, which is very A horrible thing.

It's like a person working overtime in the company for a week, finally arrived at the weekend and thought he could have a good rest, but the boss suddenly told you, I'm sorry, our company has received a large order, and we all work overtime on the weekend.

Even if the salary given by the boss is high enough, the overtime pay given is sincere enough, and the bonus given is attractive enough, will the employees feel the urge to curse their mother? Not to mention being particularly energetic at work, it would be nice to be able to show up in a normal state.

Think of the players as this group of employees, and you can understand the situation Manchester City is in at this moment.

In multi-line operations, the fatigue index is a process of continuous accumulation.

The closer you get to the end, the greater the pressure and the higher the probability of a crash.

Just like Arsenal's unbeaten record that year, why did it start with Wayne Rooney and end with Wayne Rooney?

Sometimes it's psychological.

...

Manchester City's next fixture is very dense.

Tottenham and Blackburn in the league, Arsenal in the FA Cup and Braga in the Europa League.

Several consecutive games are intertwined, and the schedule is quite dense.

Braga can be ruled out by us in the first place.

Manel Estiat is Guardiola's think tank, responsible for the overall strategic analysis and team management.

We beat the Portuguese Super League team 3-0 away, and then it's the home game. It shouldn't be a big problem.

In addition to the technical director Begiristan, the captain Su Dong and two vice-captains, plus the coaching staff, all nodded in agreement with Estiat's analysis.

After defeating the opponent 3-0 on the road and basically winning the promotion right, if Manchester City are still fighting Braga at home, it will definitely be a show of brains.

Our biggest problem right now is that Arsenal, Tottenham and Blackburn are taking turns.

From the schedule, Manchester City will meet Braga first in the middle of the week. This is the second round of the Europa League quarter-finals. The weekend is Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League. Turnham Hotspur's game was adjusted and postponed.

So, the weekend is to play Arsenal first, then play Tottenham in the middle of next week, then play Blackburn at the weekend.

All three teams are tough!

Arsenal is the FA Cup, a battle to determine the outcome.

Tottenham Hotspur has the strength of the top four in the Premier League, and Manchester City is playing at home again. In case of being pulled down, Manchester United behind them is bound to shorten the gap again. With the current situation, Manchester City is in danger.

Even, once there is a loosening, the advantage that the club has finally established may be overturned at any time.

Finally Blackburn needless to say, this team is very difficult to play, the first game between the two sides is an example.

In other words, these three games are very difficult for Manchester City to put, and they have to do their best to win.

From the perspective of the strategic pattern of the entire league, if all three games are won,

Manchester City has reached the FA Cup final, and the Premier League has basically established the general trend. Only then can Manchester City get out of the current predicament.

If you are entangled, the situation in the league will continue to stalemate, and the FA Cup is a game that determines the outcome, and if you lose, you will be eliminated.

The FA Cup against Arsenal is definitely impossible for us to give up. We play Tottenham and Blackburn in the league, and we have to do our best to win, so what is before us now is how to make good use of the resources in our hands.

After Estiat finished speaking, he looked at Guardiola and everyone present, and sat down silently.

Everyone knows that Manchester City's biggest problem at the moment is the attacking front.

To put it simply, the offense in the frontcourt is still weak.

It's no secret that Di Maria and Sanchez lack strong substitutes, so the media has been hyping them up before, and Manchester City will poach Willian, Douglas Costa and Teixeira from Shakhtar Donetsk.

Adam Johnson, for all his stellar performances for a while, still wasn't quite there.

This is the usual characteristic of English players, the ability to hold the ball is too weak.

Dzeko was brought in as a substitute for Su Dong. There is no doubt about his strength, but his movements are still slow. This caused him to have some problems when cooperating with Manchester City players, and he was not particularly adapted to the Premier League situation. .

Now there are voices outside, that is, Manchester City made the wrong choice when signing the signing. They should not choose Dzeko, but should buy Suarez, because the latter's performance in Liverpool is very eye-catching.

But sometimes, the team transfer is not a panacea, and it is difficult to achieve 100% perfection.

So the problem now is that the core combat power in Manchester City's hands is the trident combination of Su Dong, Di Maria and Sanchez, especially Su Dong. When he is here, Manchester City has the confidence and confidence.

The problem is, it's impossible to use Su Dong to death, right?

He is already the top three players in Manchester City's playing time this season. In March and April, if he still uses it like this, there will be problems.

The best way is for Su Dong to take turns, some starters and some substitutes.

Su, what do you think? Guardiola asked.

Everyone immediately turned their realizations to Su Dong, and they all knew in their hearts that Su Dong's opinion was very important.

The coaching staff may even line up around his opinion for the upcoming schedule.

Su Dong sat in his seat and looked at everyone's concerned eyes, he nodded slightly, It stands to reason that the game against Arsenal is the most important, the FA Cup semi-final is another game to decide the outcome, it is estimated that everyone They all feel that we should do our best to play Arsenal and then play Tottenham depending on the situation.

Everyone nodded, this kind of thinking is normal.

But I don't know if everyone has noticed that the points between Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea are very tight, which means that Tottenham Hotspur will definitely fight with us for the top four places. Not giving up any chance, this is going to be the toughest fight.

The top four in the league, how tempting is, needless to say.

It was reported in the media before that Atletico Madrid played in the Champions League and did not win a game in the group stage, and took away the prize money of 16 million euros. That was 16 million euros!

If it is a Premier League team, the bonus will be even more.

It can be said that this is an income that no team can give up.

Relying on this bonus, Atletico Madrid entered the top 20 in the European football club income rankings. With this money, the team's lineup was reformed in one fell swoop.

If Atletico Madrid runs smoothly, the overall strength of this team will start now and continue to improve in the next few years.

So Atletico Madrid have tasted the sweetness. They will not even play in the Europa League this season, and try their best to reach the top four in the league.

What Atletico Madrid understands, will Everton, Tottenham Hotspur and other teams understand?

If you compare this to a business, which company in the world can despise such a transaction worth over 100 million?

Tottenham Hotspur vowed to get the top four, they will definitely fight with us to the end, that is to say, this game, like Arsenal's FA Cup knockout, will be an endless decisive battle! Su Dong analyzed it with great certainty.

Everyone immediately frowned.

Whether it's Tottenham or Arsenal, they're ready and they know it's going to be difficult.

But now that Su Dong said this, they suddenly felt that these two games would be more difficult than expected, especially the home game against Tottenham Hotspur.

What do you think? Guardiola asked with concern.

Concentrate your forces and play the hardest game.

Guardiola and everyone frowned immediately. Both games are difficult, which one is more difficult?

You mean, Tottenham? Begiristan guessed.

Su Dong nodded, I think it will be more difficult for Tottenham Hotspur in comparison.

Why? Guardiola was curious.

No matter how you look at it, it will not be more difficult for Tottenham Hotspur?

Arsenal are in the semi-finals of the FA Cup. Without any chance in the league, Wenger will definitely try his best to compete for the FA Cup.

The same goes for Tottenham, but shouldn't it be harder for Arsenal?

I feel it. Su Dong said helplessly, Compared to Tottenham Hotspur's defense, especially the central defender, I think Arsenal will be better to deal with.

The crowd looked at each other in dismay.

Is this the reason?

It seems to be true!

It's just that if Wenger heard it, he would probably cry!

Nima, this is too contemptible, isn't it?

Although Manchester City won 9-1 away from home, it does not degrade me so much to Arsenal!

Who do you look down on?

In the game against Arsenal, let Dzeko rush for a while first. It's good to win, but if you can't win, give me 30 minutes!

Everyone was surprised.

Can you kill Arsenal in 30 minutes?

Although you are the hero, you have to be responsible for what you say!

Guardiola pondered in his mind.

If it is true as Su Dong said, then Manchester City's main force can all be reserved for Tottenham Hotspur.

Su Dong's idea was a little different from his previous thinking, but he also felt that Su Dong's idea had a great possibility.

To put it bluntly, Arsenal also has their own problems. Before the FA Cup, they have to play Liverpool. After the FA Cup, they play Bolton away. Under the circumstance of Chelsea rebounding against the trend in the second half, Arsenal competed with the fourth Chelsea and the fifth trustee. Between Turnham Hotspur, the gap is not particularly big.

Will Wenger dare to bet on the FA Cup?

If you are not careful, you may even lose the top four bets!
