Chapter 296 Idol
The match with Tottenham Hotspur began as scheduled.
In this game, Manchester City? All their main players were sent on the court. Facing Tottenham Hotspur who was determined to squeeze into the top four in the league, Benitez dared not take it lightly.
He can't afford to let Manchester City fall before the finish line.
This is the goal that Rongguang and Manchester City have worked hard for a year and a half...
This game was also selected by Sky TV as a live broadcast game for the whole world.
Everyone is paying attention to them.
Will a whole new history be created?
In addition to being delayed to two games on April 26 and 27, the match between Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur was the last game of the round.
Before that, Chelsea had defeated West Bromvic 3-1 away and re-leaded Tottenham Hotspur with one more game.
So if Tottenham Hotspur cannot beat Manchester City, the Chelsea defeat in the last round will be meaningless.
Chelsea's victory further stimulated Tottenham Hotspur.
Liverpool tied 1:1 with Arsenal.
This should have been a good opportunity for Manchester City to narrow their gap with the first four points in the league.
But after losing to Manchester City, Liverpool seemed to be deflated.
They drew 1-1 away with Arsenal and failed to win the game, which further widened the gap between them and Tottenham Hotspur. After losing to Manchester City, Liverpool's hope of advancing to the top four in the league is already very slim.
Chelsea is the fourth-place team in the league. They are now 61 points, while Liverpool is 46 points. The difference between the two sides is as much as fifteen points. With five rounds left in the league, this difference is enough to announce Liverpool farewell to the Champions League next season.
If they want to qualify for the Champions League, unless Chelsea loses all the next five rounds of the league and Liverpool wins all the way. In addition, Tottenham Hotspur, who is ahead of them, has to lose a few games to ensure that Liverpool, who is ranked sixth, goes directly to fourth.
But the probability of any of these things happening alone is very low, let alone the probability of happening at the same time...
It can be said that Liverpool's collapse began with their loss to Manchester City.
That game was too important to Liverpool. As a result, they failed to withstand Manchester City's attack and eventually lost, and they also destroyed their hopes of winning fourth in the league.
Manchester United, who competed for the league championship with Manchester City, defeated Newcastle United 1-0 away, and Klose scored the only goal for the team.
This is Klose's 24th league goal this season, but he has already fallen from the top of the league scorer list, and what pulls him down is Glory. Glory is now ranked first in the league scorer list with twenty-eight goals.
With five rounds left in the league, Manchester United currently plays one more game than Manchester City, and the gap with Manchester City has been narrowed to five points.
If Manchester City loses to Tottenham Hotspur in this game, then Manchester United still has a chance to compete for the league championship.
Everyone is staring at the game, competing for the league championship, and wanting to qualify for the Champions League next season... The last game of this round has become the focus of everyone's most attention.

There is a professional statistical agency in the UK that calculated the running speed of Rongguang based on the video of Rongguang in the competition.
They calculated that the fastest sprint in the race reached 37:1 km per hour!
This number is not only the best in the Premier League, but also the fastest-running football player in the world.
You should know that Bolt's fastest speed is converted into speed per hour, which is 37:5778 kilometers per hour.
The speed of Glory is already close to Bolt's speed.
Because the speed of Rongguang was so shocking after the speed of the hour came out, it caused a lot of controversy. Opponents believed that the way this institution recorded video speed measurement was not rigorous enough, and there were large errors.
Moreover, when a player runs during the game, he will be affected by many factors, and this sprint speed cannot fully reflect the player's running speed.
So this speed doesn't mean anything.
But this number may be controversial, but Rongguang's running speed ranks first in the world football world, so there must be no controversy.
Wasn't Godot valued him because of his super fast speed?
This institution also made a ranking.
The number one ranks is Glory, there is nothing to say.
The second place is Manchester United winger Valencia, which many people didn't expect. Because Valencia is also a player who is not very famous in Manchester United, and it is the same in the world football world. After this ranking, many people's first reaction was "Why is Valencia ranked second?"
However, this institution calculated that Valencia's maximum sprint speed in a certain game reached 35:2 kilometers per hour! It was indeed very fast.
The third place is Welsh winger Gareth Bale, who is now playing for Tottenham Hotspur.
His sprint speed reached as fast as 34.7 kilometers per hour.
The fourth-ranked winger Rennon, who played for Tottenham Hotspur, had the fastest sprinting speed of 33.8 kilometers per hour.
In this game, there were three players on the list in Manchester City's match against Tottenham Hotspur, and they were all in the top five.
Glory first, Bell third, and Rennon fourth.
These three people gathered together, and this game would obviously be a battle between speed and passion.
Because the team has two wingers, Tottenham Hotspur and Rennon, the left and right wings, Tottenham Hotspur's tactics are mostly dominated by the two wings flying together. There are also tall men like Crouch and powerful centers like Pavlyuchenko in the middle.
The two wings fly together and grab the middle point is Tottenham Hotspur’s tactics.
When the two of them rushed up, they were amazing.
Tottenham Hotspur is ranked fifth this season, which has a lot to do with their outstanding performance on the wing.
Those who do not want Manchester City to break Arsenal's record put all their hopes on Bale and Lunon.
However, there is a news before this game that may make these people feel a little unhappy.
Before the game, Gareth Bale was asked about Glory by reporters during an interview.
After all, he and Rongguang are both very fast.
Bale frankly stated that he is a fan of Rongguang. Rongguang has similar characteristics as him and is a speed player, so he has been imitating Rongguang to play football.
"Of course I'm not as good as him, so I haven't learned to be like this yet..." Bell scratched his head and said shyly.
The opponent is the idol of glory!
This makes it very unhappy for those who hope that Manchester City can lose.
They think that even if the truth is true, Bale shouldn't have said it before the game!
This is a completely morale-hit act!
But Bell doesn't think so.
When the players of both sides were waiting to appear in the passage, Bale took the initiative to go up and say hello to Rongguang. The two also shook hands. At the same time, Bale found Rongguang in advance to make a reservation for the post-match exchange of jerseys.
Then he returned to his team and stood in front of Lunon.
Lunon looked at Bell's face still with a smile after coming back, and curled his lips: "Garreth, have you not seen what the outside world said about you? Do you still dare to say hello to Rong?"
"I saw it, so what? I like Rong, but it doesn't mean I want to let him go." Bell put away his smile and answered Rennon's question very seriously. "On the contrary, I will beat him with all my might in the game, which is a good opportunity to show my strength, Allen."

Bale did what he said. After the game started, he took the ball on the wing and used his speed to forcibly break through Sabaleta and completed the cross.
Crouch, who followed up in the middle, was a little slower and could not touch the ball.
Manchester City centre-back Kompany, who followed the ball out of the baseline, and the exhalation of Manchester City fans sounded in the stands - they were really nervous when Bale broke through Sabaleta just now.
"Bel's breakthrough is really sharp!" said John Motterson. "The one he broke through Sabareta just now actually makes people think he is unstoppable! Although Sabareta was already on guard when facing him,... it was still easily passed by Bare..."
"It seems that Bale is in a very good condition in this game." Alan Hansen said, "I have been in such a good condition since the beginning of the game. In the next game, Manchester City's back direction may not be safe..."

"Be careful, Pablo!" goalkeeper Joe Hart shouted to Sabaleta, "Concentrate, if you don't have it, just foul!"
Sabaleta nodded, with a somewhat awkward expression on her face.
The first time I met Bale in this game, the opponent was mercilessly overwhelmed, and he had no reaction at all, just like a wooden stake...
This is really embarrassing.
As one of the most reliable right-backs in the Premier League, Bale was so quick and neat...
Lucio came up and asked him in a low voice: "Why did he pass by without even doing the move?" Sabaleta replied with a frown, "When he broke through... uh, I had an illusion for a moment, feeling that it seemed that Rong was in front of me..."
Lucio was surprised to hear Zabaleta's answer, with a colorful expression on his face: "Rong? That's absolutely impossible!"
"Yes, so I said it was an illusion. It was an illusion..." Sabareta repeated.
But he actually didn't know whether it was an illusion.
Anyway, when Bale made a breakthrough and accelerated, he really felt that he was not facing Bale, Rong, not on the court, but on the training ground.
So he was in a daze.
Then I heard a huge scream in the stands - he was given by Bell...
※※※
Manchester City received a corner kick just two minutes into the opening game, and Bale still played this corner kick.
The corner kick he kicked was like his breakthrough, with high quality.
With his height, Crouch really grabbed this point in the crowd and pushed the football towards the goal.
But the football was slightly off the post, otherwise Joe Hart would have no way to save the ball, and he could only count on the full-back Leiden Barnes standing in front of the post.
However, Leiden Barnes also jumped up just now to stop the ball, but he was still a long way from football.
In other words, as long as Crouch's goal is slightly above the point of justice, Tottenham Hotspur may take the lead just over two minutes into the game.
Chapter completed!
