Unconsciously, they may even forget that they have actually acquiesced that Manchester City’s season signings are at least worth it.
The once noisy neighbor has become a dangerous neighbor.
February may be a decisive month in the Premier League.
Because the top four teams will be baptized in Europe next month, except for Arsenal, which may be easier because the opponent is Porto in the Champions League, the other three teams will face several hard battles in the next half month.
Manchester United’s Champions League opponent is A Milan, Chelsea’s opponent is Inter Milan, and then they have the same opponent this month, that is, Manchester City is different. Manchester United and Manchester City compete for the League Cup, and this dialogue between Chelsea and Manchester City is likely to affect the trend of winning the Premier League this season.
The hardest schedule is Manchester City, because apart from Manchester United and Chelsea, although their opponents in Europe are weak, they still have a league opponent, that is Liverpool, and no matter which opponent you play one more game than them anyway, who let you do more exercises? To be continued.
Chapter 11 retreat
Linsen finally took Bridget, although Ariel suggested giving Bridget a little holiday.
Since the question of Bridge was given to Ariel Linsen, she would respect Ariel’s opinion, but he also noticed whether Ariel suggested Linsen or decided to listen to Bridge’s opinion, and Bridge chose to go to Holland with the team.
Lin Sen, who is flying to Holland, has been thinking about a problem, the schedule.
Manchester City will play five games in the next half month.
Two leagues, an FA Cup, a Europa League and a Carling Cup final.
Some things are clear to the beholder, but those who are fascinated by the authorities don’t know what to do. Now Linsen finally understands why Ferguson ridiculed the FA’s schedule for playing five games in fifteen days. It seems that one game will be played in three days, which is almost a double game a week. However, if you really encounter this situation, you will know that it is urgent to wait until three days are separated. Actually, it is only two days because you have to deduct five match days, even if it is a good home game, once it is an away game, you have to deduct a road, such as this trip to Holland.
And how many of Manchester City’s five games are home games? a
Linsen has a big appetite this season. It’s not that he is greedy. It’s not that he didn’t spend nearly 200 million yuan on the club. You always have to give some achievements after the season, and these achievements must not be too shabby. 200 million won a League Cup? Don’t say that the outside world can’t see the past. Lin Sen himself can’t see the past. Now Lin Sen still has to face a realistic problem. Do you need to give up a cup selectively?
If this multiple-choice question had appeared at the beginning of the season, the League Cup would have been the first choice, but now that Manchester City has entered the final, it is absolutely impossible to give up the League. Needless to say, it is the most important thing, so the Europa League and the FA Cup are more uncertain. Because there is no shortage of strong teams in this event and Manchester City must now face up to the fact that the anti-FA Cup will be more important than the Europa League. Because Manchester United and Arsenal have been eliminated from this event, there are not many strong teams left, and even if they are rushing, it seems that the Europa League should be given up. Obviously, the influence of the FA Cup
In fact, it is a barrier to get through this month. Actually, it is more than enough to give up which front Manchester City’s four-line war will become a two-line war, whether it is the FA Cup or the Europa League.
Thought of here, Linsen shook his head in his heart. After all, he is still inexperienced. Some people in Manchester City are rich and have a bigger appetite, but I didn’t expect that Ferguson and Wenger’s cards are not necessarily much worse than Manchester City, and people are not as hungry as themselves. But now, the more you talk, the more you think, the better.
On February 16th, Manchester City visited the Dekhrolsch Stadium.
Twente is a new army in the Netherlands. Twente was founded in 1965 by the merger of Twente Sports Club and Twente Boys Club at that time. However, after the establishment of the team, most of the events were hovering in the ranks of low-level teams in the Netherlands. The last time they were away from the league championship was in 1974, when they had the same points as Jenod, and the final play-off form decided the championship. Twente lost the championship battle. In recent years, Twente gradually recovered with the arrival of former England national team coach Steve McClaren. Unfortunately, they failed to pass the Champions League qualifiers and won the Europa League.
Unfortunately, the Europa League is not easy to mix. Although they are unbeaten in the league, the Europa League group stage is almost out of the line. Therefore, they have to face Manchester City, a recognized strong team in the Europa League. Finally, Twente is lucky because Manchester City will face Liverpool Linsen in the league three days later. In this game, many main players, such as Romania and Germany, who are familiar with Dutch football, have not started every game.
Although there are two rounds in the knockout round, McClaren knows that if Twente wants to advance, this round will be the key to getting familiar with the Premier League. He can’t understand how difficult it is to play in the Premier League away from home. If Twente can’t gain enough advantages in this round and lose, it’s an idiotic dream to advance away from home. At that time, Manchester City had already passed the most difficult time.
United as one, Twente made Manchester City encounter the biggest dilemma in the season. Suarez scored in the final stage of the game, but it was only to save face in this game. The score was 1-3. Steve McClaren, the assistant coach of Ferguson, praised his team’s performance after the game and changed his attitude. He had always been low and declared that he was full of confidence in the promotion on the road.
After losing the game, Tomlinson looked on coldly with his chest in his hands. McClaren communicated with the media enthusiastically and never said a word. It was only when he had to speak at last that he said that we didn’t perform well in this game. I have nothing to say. See you in Manchester.
Returning to Manchester with an unhappy score didn’t take much time to be depressed. On February 19th, Manchester City welcomed Benitez and Liverpool at home.
The two teams met for the first time and made a two-to-two press conference after the game. Lin Sen also had a small verbal battle with Benitez, and the feuds between Liverpool and Manchester, although Lin Sen and Benitez could not reach the enemy level, were definitely not good.
Speaking of it, Linsen has played against all the managers in the Premier League last season. Ferguson has always been ruthless, but he missed the press conference this time. Both of them were limited to the team level. Wenger impressed Linsen as gentle as most people. Linsen didn’t bother him and he didn’t bother Linsen. On the contrary, Ancelotti was the most open-minded because he was the only one who had played against several big managers at present. Only Benitez seemed to have a natural hostility after the game.
This hostility is not caused by the hostility between the two teams, but is more simple. Linsen was puzzled at first, but then he came for nothing. I’m afraid Mourinho is to blame for this.
Everyone knows that Benitez’s popularity in the Premier League is average, but he is equal to him. It is not Wenger or Ferguson, but Mourinho and other coaches. Benitez can at least maintain mutual respect in the opponent’s field, but he is also an enemy with Mourinho. This is why Mourinho left Chelsea. Don’t talk privately. Mourinho is good. Ferguson, even peeping tom Wenger, who was satirized by Mourinho, expressed regret, but only Benitez was indifferent. When Benitez succeeded Mourinho as coach of Inter Milan, he was asked to remove the dressing room. The bad photos of Mourinho and Mourinho can be seen.
It is reasonable to say that he and Mourinho can’t blame Linsen, but who made Linsen behave well with Mourinho at the coaching meeting at the beginning of this year? Moreover, it is hard for Linsen Manchester City not to remind people of the poor record of Chelsea and Liverpool in Mourinho’s time. Benitez was surprised to see Linsen in a good mood.
Of course, the mood can’t be eaten.
In this game, Li Linsen sent the strongest team against Twente and launched a fierce attack at the beginning with the support of home fans. Lin Linsen played a good abacus and tried to establish a leading position at half time and then fought back at half time to save energy. After all, there are still several more important events, but the phoenix landing may not be as bad as the chicken. Liverpool is still Liverpool. After resisting Manchester City’s opening onslaught, the game fell into the rhythm of Liverpool, and the quick defensive counterattack was played well.
Realizing that things can’t be handled properly, Tomlinson will soon adjust his strategy and start playing with Liverpool. Although Tai Ji Chuan is sorry for the home fans, there is no way for Manchester City to consume too much physical energy in this game. The tug-of-war was officially broken in the first three minutes of the half-time. David Silva scored a goal and knocked on Reina’s door with an intentional goal, which made Tomlinson more determined to prevent rebellion.
However, there is another situation in the football match called accident, and there is also a player called Mr. Big Scene.
Manchester City held the lead until the last minute of the game, and watched the referee start to look at his watch. At this time, Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard got up. He kicked the Manchester City goal 30 meters away and pulled Liverpool back from the cliff, until Liverpool celebrated the game.
Three points suddenly turned into one point.
After the game, I walked into the stadium to comfort my player Lin Sen, whose mood is not as sudden as he seems. This draw is destined to be the best driving force for Chelsea to win all day. If Chelsea win in turn, they will expand their lead to six points, which is already a gap of two goals. This doubt will make Manchester City’s situation in the first round of the world war even more severe, because if there is another gap in that ball, it may become nine points! By then, there will be only ten rounds left in the league, which is different from declaring Manchester City out of the title race.
Retreat? Nothing to be continued.
It’s a mistake to write a ps chapter about going to Amsterdam. Alas, when I write about Dutch consciousness, I think of Ajax, while Twente is in enschede. Sorry.
Chapter 12 Shh
All over England, friends and wives are finally coming.
Because of the weekend, the two protagonists will play a direct collision in the stadium. In the 20 rounds of the Premier League, Chelsea will face Manchester City at home. This is the top battle between the two teams, which may decide the championship of the season. This is also a "duel" between the two parties or a man’s dignity.
England coach Fabio Capello has confirmed that he will watch the game in the stands. In an interview with Sky Sports, the famous Italian coach bluntly said that he did not want the two men to bring personal feuds into the stadium. At the same time, he said that although Bridge had publicly announced his withdrawal from the England team, he would not give up after losing Ashley Cole and would still call up Bridge.
Compared with Capello, who is destined to win, the attitude of the two teams is very fresh. The representative of Chelsea coach Carlo Ancelotti believes that this is a private life and resolutely separates the influence of friends and wives from the game, while Manchester City has always been straightforward. Bellamy has publicly asked Terry and said that all Manchester City players will be backed by Bridge. Linsen? He knows that this game doesn’t need his mobilization theory at all. On the one hand, Manchester City has several times more to win this game than its opponents.
It’s natural that the outside world can’t be idle, not to mention the British media and even the gambling companies, including the famous William Hill, who is very specialized in this game. He offered wonderful odds on the possible events, such as the Manchester City team shaking hands with Terry before the game, whether the Manchester City sports players will wear T-shirts printed with the words anti-Terry or helping Bridge before or after the goal, and whether Bridge got a yellow card for a foul on Terry or a red card for malicious infringement. There is no moral standard at all for them. Isn’t it just a story about a poor man and an unlucky man because of a dissolute woman?
On February 25th, when the Manchester City bus arrived at Stamford Bridge Stadium, Lin Sen felt the hostility of the stadium, which was described by the British media as the most difficult to overcome this season. Many fans wearing Chelsea jerseys raised their middle fingers at the Manchester City bus and shouted something. Because Lin Sen didn’t hear it while sitting in the bus, naturally Bridge didn’t hear it, but it didn’t mean that he couldn’t see it.
When individual Chelsea fans exposed the slogan printed on their clothes, Linsen frowned. He glanced out of the corner of his eye and sat diagonally across the street. Bridge suddenly found that the mood on his head really fluctuated. Linsen didn’t see the shirt slogan, but it was not difficult to imagine what it was only when he saw the word Vasa.
In fact, both Bridge and Linsen have been psychologically prepared for such a scene. Right and wrong outside the stadium is the least important thing for radical fans. What is the atmosphere in the Premier League stands? Both of them are very clear about this matter. Even if they change their roles to Manchester City fans, they can’t do anything.
Of course, it’s one thing to be mentally prepared, and it’s another to see it with your own eyes. What about the atmosphere outside the stadium?
The response to Bridge, a former Chelsea player, at Stamford Bridge Stadium is hush, hush, hush, hush, hush, hush, hush, hush, hush, hush, hush, hush, hush, hush, hush, hush, hush, hush, hush, hush, hush, hush, hush, hush, hush, hush, hush, hush, hush, hush, hush, hush This is Terry’s territory! There is no guardian here!
The bleachers booed all over the place. After Bridge hung Terry’s hand in the middle, it reached the most * * at that moment, it seemed that the whole stadium was shaking in the middle of booing.
"Just in the past moment, the whole world was paying attention to Wayne Bridge’s hand, and Bridge fulfilled his pre-game words. He chose to see Terry reach out and defend his man’s dignity, but this is Stamford Bridge, Terry’s territory. Chelsea fans did not hesitate to give it to Bridge, although he was even a Chelsea player last season. Well, now, Mr. Capello, do you still think Bridge and Terry can really continue to work together in the English team?"
In Manchester Bar, Andy Gray made English fans familiar with the sound, and the camera also gave the stands a grim look of Capello.
"Well done! Bridge! "
"You should give him some color to see see!"
……
Chelsea fans can boo Bridge to show their support for their captain. They can’t go to London. Manchester City fans can also make friends with Bridge in front of the camera. When Bridge walked past Terry, the bar suddenly sounded applause and clinked glasses.
Ancelotti’s expression on the sidelines was as predictable as Lin Sen’s prediction that Stamford Bridge could not be above righteousness. Ancelotti also predicted that Bridge would refuse to shake hands with Terry. At this time, he hoped that Terry would not affect the state of the game because of this, although he had communicated with Terry more than once before.
However, Linsen knew that it was impossible to reach out to the caddy next to Bridge just as he walked past Terry with eyes open. He saw that the Chelsea captain’s mood became so low, which was even more dazzling when the Manchester City players were in a state of screaming and hissing.
