I Want to Be the King of Football

Before, when Chelsea coach Boas complained about the schedule, the media took Manchester City to fight, leaving Boas speechless.

It's not just because Manchester City's results are better, it's important to note that Manchester City's schedule is the devil of the devil.

Four matches were played in twelve days, especially between the nineteenth and twentieth rounds, which were on December 31st and January 2nd, which meant that there was only one day between them.

That's it?

This is just the beginning.

The FA Cup on the weekend is on January 6, while others are on January 7 or even 8.

So why are Manchester City a day earlier than others?

Because three days later they will usher in the first leg of the League Cup semi-final.

Then there is the twenty-first round of the league, and the second leg of the League Cup semi-final in the middle of the week.

Is it a little round?

It's okay, just know that in this devil's schedule, Manchester City have to play two more games than other teams, then it's okay.

However, Chelsea must also have an opinion, because they also reached the semi-finals of the League Cup and have to play two more games.

Then look at the opponents of the game.

In the twentieth round, Manchester City vs. Liverpool.

Manchester City host Manchester United in the third round of the FA Cup in midweek.

Yes, read that right, Manchester United!

The damned guys in the FA didn't know how to draw the lottery, but they even drew the top two teams in the Premier League to the third round of the FA Cup. Does this mean that they are playing the final ahead of schedule?

But in the words of the FA, this also proves that the FA Cup draw is open, fair and just, and there is absolutely nothing tricky.

Look, even Manchester City and Manchester United have been drawn in the third round. What else is there?

At least not like the Champions League, what kind of seed teams are there?

In the two legs of the League Cup semi-final, the opponent is Liverpool, while Chelsea's opponent is Cardiff in the British Championship.

The strength of these two teams is not at the same level at all.

Can't be compared.

The twenty-first round is an away game against Wigan Athletic, and the twenty-second round opponent is Tottenham Hotspur.

If Manchester City can beat Manchester United to advance in the third round, the FA Cup is next.

In other words, throughout January, Manchester City struggled every game.

Don't look at Wigan Athletic deep in the relegation zone, but their home court is not easy to play. Liverpool and Chelsea have suffered enough here, only to get a draw, not to mention the fatigue of long-term battles like Manchester City. expedition.

It can be said that Chelsea has no right to complain under Manchester City's hellish schedule.

...

2011 ended and 2012 entered.

Manchester City welcomed Liverpool the next day of the new year.

At the Etihad Stadium, both sides had a very strong rotation.

No way, play two games in three days, without rotation, the players' bodies can't bear it at all.

But even with the rotation, many players are seriously out of shape.

After the opening, both sides played relatively dull in the first ten minutes, and neither of them was able to create a chance.

The absence of key players such as Bellamy and Gerrard has a great impact on Liverpool, while Manchester City is constantly running in.

In the fifteenth minute, Manchester City finally played a threatening attack.

Su Dong retreated to the left, cooperated with Hazard and Moutinho, failed to penetrate Liverpool's defense, and was forced to pass back to Busquets to reorganize.

Gareth Barry took a chance and sent a long ball with his left foot, which was precisely behind the Liverpool defence.

Su Dong moved forward at the fastest speed and made a single shot after stopping the ball with his foot.

After rushing into the penalty area, Su Dong pinned central defender Daniel Agger behind him. Facing the attacking goalkeeper Reina, he suddenly paused and adjusted, and then kicked the ball into Liverpool's goal.

Su Dong has too much experience in dealing with such a one-handed ball.

He knows better than anyone how to disrupt the rhythm of goalkeepers and confuse their judgment.

After taking the lead in goals, Manchester City slowed down the attack and pace slightly.

In the 41st minute, before the end of the first half, Manchester City created another chance. Su Dong took the ball to break through, and was fouled by Skrtel at the front of the penalty area. The referee gave a yellow card and Manchester City got a frontcourt positioning. ball chance.

Su Dong did his part. In the face of the high-ranking Liverpool wall, he still used a wonderful curve ball, took a far corner, wiped the corner in the upper right corner, and turned into Liverpool's goal to expand the score for Manchester City. , two to zero.

After establishing the advantage, Manchester City slowed down the offensive slightly.

After changing sides in the second half, Guardiola replaced Sudong on time and in 60 minutes. I hope he can get enough rest and recharge to prepare for the weekend's FA Cup game against Manchester United.

What's different from usual is that after Su Dong came off the court this time, he didn't stay on the bench, but went straight into the player tunnel and returned to the locker room for a rest and massage.

His personal trainer was already waiting for him inside.

...

Manchester City fans at the Etihad are applauding Sudong.

This is one of the players with the most appearances and the most minutes for Manchester City this season. As a center, especially a high center, this attendance rate is really, very amazing.

More importantly, every time Sudong played, he was able to score goals for Manchester City.

It's fair to say he's been a key figure in City's progress on four fronts this season.

Manchester City fans are very aware of all this, so they give Su Dong a high degree of affirmation, and we can also see that Su Dong is really tired.

But as the captain of Manchester City, as the team's number one star, he can't rest!

The applause from the Etihad stands continued for a long time when Su Dong entered the dressing room.

…………

…………

The twentieth round of the league, very cold.

Manchester City finally defeated Liverpool 3-0, Su Dong scored twice, Moutinho created a penalty kick in the second half, Milner calmly took the penalty and sealed the victory for Manchester City.

This is one of the few warmth in the cold winter and twelfth lunar month.

The coldest is Boas.

Portugal's young marshal now has a kind of sadness that even God wants to oppose him.

He was pressured by the media and fans before, the results were not satisfactory, and the management was not satisfied with him, so after a large rotation, he finally remembered Lampard next to the water cooler.

As a result, in the 20th round, when Lampard finally started again, he performed well in the audience. In the final stage of the game, he used his own goal to help Chelsea beat Wolves away 2-1.

What's more slap in the face than this?

He has not tasted the joy of victory in five rounds. As a result, this game was replaced by Lampard. Chelsea won immediately, and it was also the lore goal scored by Lampard.

What does this mean?

Boas can no longer imagine that his image in the Chelsea locker room, fans, and even the outside media has not improved because of this victory, but has fallen further, and it has fallen endlessly.

...

Compared to Chelsea, Arsenal's performance in this round can also be described as depressing.

Wenger has not introduced a strong central defender, and now he has finally paid the price.

Juru's second yellow card in the 78th minute was sent off, leaving Arsenal with one man missing in the last ten minutes.

As a result, Fulham used these ten minutes to score two goals in a row and reversed Arsenal 2-1.

Losing three points and Chelsea winning, the Gunners were stomped out of the top four and the Blues took their place.

Then there are Liverpool and Newcastle.

The Magpies Newcastle had a blast this round.

Against Manchester United at home, Newcastle played very well, beating Manchester United 3-0.

Ferguson's team had a two-goal lead in the last round and was reversed 3-2 by their opponents. This time they lost even more completely, losing directly to Newcastle 0-3 away.

What? Losing three goals is a shame?

Isn't that what you said?

In the last round, you said that it was embarrassing for me to lose three goals after taking a two-goal lead and be reversed. Then I didn't even score two goals in this game, and I threw three goals directly. Do you still say that I am embarrassed?

Come on, what do you want me to do at Manchester United?

Can you say something nice?

Ferguson seemed very calm after the game, saying that the defeat was indeed disappointing, Newcastle's second goal completely killed Manchester United, and since then, the game has completely lost the suspense.

Since Manchester City beat Liverpool 3-0, the gap between the two teams at the top of the standings has widened to 15 points. Ferguson regretted that this season's Premier League champion basically belongs to Manchester City.

Although I am very reluctant to say this, we have to accept that Manchester City's advantage in the Premier League is gradually turning into their chips to win the championship. They are the most powerful contenders for the championship. It is difficult for other teams, including Manchester United, to influence. them.

But for Guardiola's team, Ferguson is not convinced.

If you can give me a Sudong, I can get more winning streaks, and even I can win the world, but the problem is, I don't! Ferguson is obviously resentful about this.

He wanted to bring in Sneijder from Inter Milan, but Manchester United's management had no such plans.

Some people have calculated that in the past five years, Manchester United spent a total of 160 million pounds in the transfer market, but the sellers earned 150 million pounds. The net investment was only £10 million.

Of course, the transfer income includes the huge income brought by Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer to Real Madrid, but this itself is part of the overall strength of the club, and Manchester United did not use this money for signings.

Today, Manchester United makes a profit of over 100 million pounds every season, but the loss also reaches a staggering 80 million pounds. Behind this is the blood-sucking from the Glazer family.

Ferguson said that if you give him a Sudong, he can win more in a row. This is definitely not an angry remark, but he sincerely feels that Manchester United's current investment cannot support the scene of the giants.

Now that he is still in Ferguson, he can still rely on his own ability to barely maintain the situation, but at his age, how long can he maintain it?

When he can't hold it any longer and retire, what will happen to Manchester United?

Ferguson didn't dare to think about it, but he was really annoyed.

After coaching Manchester United for so many years, when has he been so embarrassed?

Especially when he has to face Manchester City in the FA Cup next, what will he do with Manchester City?
