Chapter 84 The game continues
Due to the weekend's League Cup final, Manchester City's Stewarts' two first matches were the first to be played in this round.
However, sitting in the coaching seat of Old Trafford and after Nani scored twice in the 55th minute to rewrite the score to 2-0, Ferguson was not thinking about this game. This was not to underestimate West Ham United, but out of confidence, he led two goals and was equalized or even overtaken. The probability of this happening at Old Trafford is too low, and it is also because of the importance of the result of another game.
The unexpected loss to Everton in the last round of the game was a major blow to Manchester United. Although his arch-rival Manchester City also tied with Liverpool at home, the biggest winners were Chelsea and Arsenal, the number one group in the standings, and the situation suddenly became clear: two teams, one team, one team, and the other team tied Manchester United.
At this time, it is extremely dangerous to let Chelsea break the gap. Therefore, this round of Chelsea's game against Manchester City is not only extremely important to both sides of the game, but also to Manchester United.
However, Ferguson did not inquire about another game while the game was still in progress. After the game, he shook hands with Zora slowly. It was not until he walked into the corridor that he rushed to a familiar staff member next to him to inquire about the result of another game.
1:3, Manchester City won.
Ferguson, who learned of the result, smiled kindly at the staff member, nodded and turned around and walked away, his pace still being slow.
Although Manchester City beat Chelsea, this result is not the best for Manchester United, it is not the worst. The best result is of course a draw, both sides suffer. It can allow Manchester United to narrow the gap in points against the previous two teams at the same time. But Manchester City can pause Chelsea's pace, which is also acceptable. Even so, there are still two opponents standing in front of Manchester United.
London at the same time.
Linson's hand was holding Ancelotti.
It's fake to win twice. It's fake to say that you're not proud. Although in this game, because of Bridge's affairs, I actually took a lot of advantage. But Lin Sen understands the ability of the Italian with a slightly fat figure in front of me, which is a true tactical master. Not many coaches can get a bargain in his hands this season. He is one of the few, and he is currently the only head coach who can get benefits in both rounds.
How can you not be proud?
"This is definitely not the best game Terry performs, but he is still a great player. Shake hands? In my opinion, this is his performance in facing problems head-on." After the game, Ancelotti was not willing to talk too much about the game. This is not surprising. No coach would be willing to mention any failed game, at least not in front of the media. Ancelotti is no exception. He simply answered some of the most asked questions by some reporters.
"The team performed well. League champion? It's too early to talk about the championship, but I'm glad we were able to return to the same starting line with Chelsea. Bridge? As I said before, I support any decisions of him. He was replaced just to let him know. Boos didn't mean everything." Linson didn't talk much this time, after all, it was on the road.
One game three to one. Manchester City won perhaps the most important game of the season. Now, what they need to do is to get rid of the Bridge incident as soon as possible. The positive effect of this matter on Manchester City is limited to this game and continue to ferment. All they can have is side effects. Because three days later, they still have a final.
Finals with Manchester United.
----------------
The game continues.
In addition to the scene where Bridge left Terry's hand in the air, the media was destined to make the top news on all the English media front pages. The next day, the media also used such a title to describe the result of the two games that were played at the same time in this round. "Manchester City beat Chelsea three-to-one away, and excluded Bridge, who became the headline, for Manchester City, the more important significance of this victory is that they have caught up with Chelsea again in the standings. Don't forget that they still play one less game. If they can win in the make-up game, then their disadvantage will be the goal difference that is not much.
For Chelsea who lost, they need to worry about more than Manchester City. Manchester United, who beat West Ham United three to zero in this round, now has a six-point gap with them. If Arsenal, who also plays one less game, can win the next game and make up for the middle of next week, then Wenger's team will be closer to Manchester United than Manchester United, with three points.
Goal difference, three points, six points...
Welcome to return to the Premier League championship drama and the game continues.”
Lin Sen knew that the game continued, but he wanted the game to pause at this moment.
Five games in 15 days and four games have passed. From the perspective of record alone, it is a mess, one win, one draw and two losses. From the perspective of effect, it can only be considered a careless situation. The victory against Chelsea has made up for the draw against Liverpool. Although the FA Cup is eliminated, there is still a glimmer of hope for the UEFA Cup. One-to-three away is not the end of the world. If you are optimistic, you only need to score two goals at home and not allow the opponent to score. Of course, these all need to be postponed now.
Manchester City is now like having just finished a wave ss. It has not much durability in equipment and has little medicine left. It has not even had time to replenish its health. As a result, another wave ss that is no less difficult than the previous one... How can such a copy be cheated?
But what you should face will still have to face.
Back at Manchester City, Lin Sen said nothing and threw the team to Dina directly. Although he could perform well with chicken blood, he was not human blood after all, and there would be sequelae. The first issue was physical fitness. How to make Manchester City lively again at Wembley Stadium three days later is the key. Although their opponent Manchester United then played a league game at the same time, there was no comparison between the two games. Ferguson had too much room for Lin Sen to have.
A better news is that Nani, who performed well in this round, will not be able to play in the final due to accumulating yellow cards. Moreover, the opponent's main central defender Ferdinand and Giggs, the old monster on the wing, have little chance of playing in the final due to injury. In addition to these good news from the opponent, Manchester City's Neilinson also has good news.
Bale, who started resilience training last week, may be on the court in this game.
Maybe, that's OK.
Thinking of the last game with Manchester United, it was Bale's outbreak that helped Manchester City perform a shocking reversal, Lin Sen simply opened up training to the outside world.
Previously, due to the Bridge incident, Lin Sen, who was annoyed by the media, once refused all media interviews at the training base, and even started closed training. He originally planned to wait until this devilish schedule was over before talking. Now, a smoke bomb is just right. Of course, this smoke bomb does not need him to deliberately release it. He only needs to let Bale participate in the team's joint training, and then the media that are concerned about the next game will naturally help him blow the smoke to the next door.
Anyway, the two training bases were not far apart, and each one knew exactly whether there were monsters or not. It depends on whether they had ignorant eyes or not.
--------------
Just as the little fox was deliberately preparing to fight the old fox, Lin Sen received a call from someone he had not expected, Boya.
In my impression, this is the first time Boya took the initiative to call him. Of course, the two of them had never been on the phone before, and in fact, it was the first time for anyone to call.
Boya told Lin Sen that she would leave the UK and return to Spain next week. On the phone, Boya's voice was as usual, but Lin Sen still heard a little depressed. No need to think about it, Lin Sen also knew why. The last time she met, Lin Sen reminded the other party that the North Foundation might not be as "charity" as she imagined. More than two months have passed. Obviously, the other party found something.
Lin Sen did not ask. This matter, just like the last time he could only remind the other party, was destined not to intervene. More importantly, he had an inexplicable confidence in Boya handling this matter well, although he didn't know where his confidence came from.
After talking about her, Boya talked about Lin Sen's work and his tone completely returned to normal. After teasing her, she didn't expect Lin Sen to have such a little coaching talent, she told Lin Sen that the time of the League Cup final between Manchester City and Manchester United was the 28th, which happened to be the traditional Chinese Lantern Festival.
Lin Sen was a little surprised that Boya actually knew about the Lantern Festival, but thinking that the other party seemed to be learning Chinese before, it must have known some Chinese culture, so it is not surprising that he knew about it.
Speaking of Lantern Festival, I have not returned to China for more than a year to visit the two old people. Last summer was an opportunity, but unfortunately I encountered work changes and the Premier League did not have a winter break. Even the Spring Festival that had just passed, Lin Sen was only able to do to the two old people by phone. Although this kind of thing happened frequently in the past, after a long time of memories, Lin Sen could no longer ignore it as before. This summer, maybe Lin Sen would definitely go back to China. Maybe, when the time comes, he would take Manchester City with him, which is an alternative return home in glory...
The two were chatting like this, and after unknowingly more than half an hour passed, it seemed that they suddenly realized that time seemed to be passing a little faster. Boya hung up the phone decisively. Before hanging up, she said, "Sunday, she will go to Wembley Stadium to watch the game, but this time, she can't go to the podium to see him receive the prize."
Even if you say something about cheering up, you have to turn a few turns. Are you tired of being a princess?
Holding the phone, Lin Sen muttered with a smile in his heart, but it is undeniable that in recent stage, he became a little impetuous due to intensive competitions, and seemed to have become much more relaxed.
Isn't it just a league cup?
