Chapter 427 Almost won the championship in advance

Glory's direct free kick made Manchester United concede the ball just one minute after the second half, which was a heavy blow to Manchester United.

Manchester City plays a defensive counterattack, and their favorite thing is to play football while leading.

What Manchester United least wants is to let Manchester City lead. So they tried their best to organize Manchester City's offense with tough play in the first half.

And Manchester United knew very well how powerful Glory's free kick was, so they paid great attention to the location of the foul in the first half.

If you have to make a foul, you will also be in the frontcourt and midfield, try to stay away from your goals and penalty areas.

Therefore, Manchester City's offense in the first half was awkward because they just got the ball and Manchester United's foul might have come.

But Manchester United never thought that Rongguang would take advantage of the opportunity to kick off the ball and hit Huanglong.

The shocked Manchester United players missed the opportunity to block Rongguang in the midfield. When they reacted, they made a foul and made Rongguang advance to 33 meters away from the goal...

In the end, Rong Guang seized the opportunity of this free kick and sent the football into Manchester United's goal.

With Manchester City's style and habits, this goal is likely to win the game.

This is what Manchester United fears the most.

Next, they have to start attacking more aggressively, but that also means there will be more loopholes in their defense...

※※※

After Rong Guang scored the goal, the pace of the game had fallen into Manchester City's hands. They would be quick as they wanted, and slow as they wanted.

They have the initiative.

Even if Manchester United equalizes the score, they don't have to worry, anyway, the draw will be beneficial to them.

Manchester United players began to get impatient.

Different mentality determines that the performance of the players of the two teams is also completely different.

The relaxed Manchester City players are playing more and more, while Manchester United players are unable to play their strongest level because of their impatience.

In the 75th minute, Manchester United conceded another goal.

This time, they fought back after being intercepted by Manchester City after a large-scale attack.

After Rong Guang broke through the ball, Kaka then broke through, break through, and then completed the shot.

The football rolled into the goal against the turf, and De Gea was out of reach, so he could only watch the football roll into the goal.

"Kaka! Kaka! 2:0! Manchester City has completely locked in the victory!" John Motterson shouted. "There is no suspense in this game! There is no suspense this season! Manchester City will become the league champion!"

As long as Manchester City wins this game, they will lead Manchester United by three points in a game less.

Manchester City has three league games left, while Manchester United has two. Even if Manchester City loses one in the next three league rounds, it doesn't matter to the overall situation.

Besides, how could Manchester City capsize in the gutter under such circumstances? The wind and waves have come through, the rivers and seas have been waded through, and the boat capsize in the gutter... It is not the style of Manchester City at all, or the style of Glory, the core character of Manchester City.

That's why John Mortson concluded this way and came to a conclusion.

Before this game, local British media believed that this game would be the game that determines the title of the league championship this season.

Everyone is a knowledgeable person, so it is natural that they say this in a common way.

Manchester City fans in the stands are already shouting: "We are the champions."

They are both celebrating and showing off, deliberately shouting to Manchester United fans and players.

As a mortal enemy in the city, Manchester City has been firmly under the control of Manchester United for the past few decades, so Manchester City fans have such deep hatred and resentment towards Manchester United.

Now when they have the opportunity to vent, they will inevitably think of the volcanic eruption as violently.

Amid the cheers of Manchester City fans, the Manchester United fans who came with the team were basically silent.

Manchester United players on the court also seem to be ineffective and listless.

They were already two goals behind, and even if there were fifteen minutes left in the game, they felt that they could not win the game - equalizing the score was meaningless to them.

What they need now is victory, only victory.

But unfortunately, if they do their best to attack in order to win Biqiu, they will get the same result as this goal loss.

Manchester City's fast defensive counterattack is not a vegetarian.

Ferguson stood on the sidelines, chewing gum in his mouth, but in the face of such a loss of the ball, he did not make any physical movements or make any adjustments...

He had no choice.

This season, he was eliminated from the Champions League group stage. He wanted to do his best in the league and snatch the league champion he had lost for two consecutive years from Manchester City.

He almost succeeded.

But in the end, it still failed...

※※※

When the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game, the entire Manchester City Stadium became a sea of ​​joy, and Manchester City fans were cheering. They were not cheering for the victory of this game, but cheering for the league championship.

After beating Manchester United at home, Manchester City's league championship basically didn't run away.

Next, three days later, as long as Manchester City can beat Norwich away in the make-up game, they will win the league championship two rounds ahead of schedule. At that time, Manchester United only has theoretical hope of winning the championship - in the last two rounds of the league, Manchester City lost two consecutive games, and Manchester United won the championship with a big score, so that Manchester United could beat Manchester City with a goal difference advantage while the same score as Manchester City and win the league championship.

The Premier League is different from the La Liga. In the case of the same score, they do not look at the winning or losing relationship between the two sides, and directly compare the goal difference.

If it depends on the outcome, then Manchester United no longer has the theoretical possibility of winning the championship.

But even so, Manchester United's theoretical probability is very low.

Because Manchester City has played 35 games in the league, has scored 96 goals, conceded only 23 goals, and has 73 goals.

What about Manchester United, who played 36 games? They scored 86 goals, conceded 34 goals, and had 52 goals.

If they want to reverse Manchester City by goal difference, even if they average ten goals per game in the next two games, they will still be one less than Manchester City's current goal difference.

So even if Manchester United theoretically wins the championship, the possibility of it is very, very low...

※※※

After this game, the media was filled with comments about Manchester City's championship, as if Manchester City had confirmed to win the championship ahead of schedule.

No one thinks that Manchester United can still complete the reversal, which is an absolutely impossible task for them.

It is a foregone conclusion that Manchester City's three consecutive league championships are about to become a reality.

In addition, the personal honor of glory is also the focus of everyone's attention.

In the second leg of the Champions League semi-final in the mid-week, Rong Guang scored twice, helping Manchester City beat Barcelona 3-2 away.

In addition to a goal in Manchester City derby in this game, Rongguang has scored 66 goals in all competitions this season, only one goal away from Ged Mueller's record, and he also tied Messi's current total number of goals in the season.

The two were only one goal away from the old bomber's record.

So who will become the first to break a record?

On the second night of the Manchester derby, the 36th round of the La Liga, Barcelona's away challenge to Vallecano began.

After being eliminated in the Champions League, Barcelona has actually lost the league championship in the league.

But Barcelona did not intend to give up.

Especially Messi.

In the two rounds of the Champions League semi-finals, the team was eliminated and he also suffered huge pressure. Some people think Messi always lost to Glory in key games. No matter how many goals scored before, it was useless. His performance was too soft. Some people think Messi was destined to be a team leader like Maradona because he had no leader temperament at all.

In this league, Messi seems to have to prove himself that he has been very active since the beginning of the game.

So in the 16th minute, Messi tied Ged Mueller's record with a goal.

"Messi -! The 67th total goal this season!" The Catalonian commentator was very excited. "Messi's performance is enough to make people forget that he was eliminated from the Champions League, and this is also the response to all his attacks in half a week!"

However, Messi is not satisfied with just tying Ged Mueller's record. After scoring the goal, he is still looking for his own goal opportunities.

It’s a pity that luck always makes him miss the goal.

Ten minutes later, Vallecano's player scored an own goal, and Barcelona led 2:0.

In the 38th minute, Keita expanded the score for Barcelona.

Just two minutes into the second half, Pedro changed the score to 4:0.

In the 77th minute, Thiago scored a goal, 5:0.

In the 87th minute, Pedro scored twice, 6:0!

Barcelona is completely crazy, and it is not surprising that such a result will happen.

But Messi has not scored a goal for a long time.

It seems that there is not much time left for him. If Messi cannot break the record in this game, then when the make-up match between Manchester City and Norwich begins in the middle of next week, Glory may become the one to break the Ged Muller record.

But Messi wouldn't let this happen.

In the 90th minute, he finally scored a goal!

"Messi! Messi! Messi! Scoring twice! The 68th goal! He surpassed Ged Muller! This is a historic moment! Messi became the player with the most goals in a single season!"

After scoring the goal, Messi was surrounded by his teammates to celebrate this historic goal together.

Messi's face finally showed a smile.

This is the first time he laughed after Barcelona was eliminated in the Champions League.

He was not happy with the goal in the 16th minute of this game.

But now, the smile finally bloomed on Messi's face.

In the Champions League, Messi lost to Rongguang, and he was left behind by Rongguang in both the game and the number of goals in his own game.

But in terms of total goals scored in the season, he can still compete with Rongguang!

His smile is probably not because he is ahead of Glory, but because he has found another "battlefield" where he can compete with Glory.
