Abramovich's joke put great pressure on Manchester City.
When Barcelona flew to Manchester, many Barcelona fans displayed banners reading "Conservation Law of Win and Lose".
Manchester City have not lost a game this season!
Not even one!
How outrageous!
World football does not allow such a domineering team to appear.
So Manchester City will definitely lose this game!
"Marca": "It turns out that the Premier League battle between Manchester City and Arsenal is a lose-lose game. They have failed to make any changes in the standings, but they are likely to fall behind in the European war.
Already."
"AS": "Perhaps the only good news for Manchester City is that Chiellini and Thiago Silva, who were previously injured, have returned to the team."
"Daily Sports": "In front of the devilish wings of Ronaldinho and Quaresma, it doesn't matter who Manchester City's defender is!"
"World Sports News": "It is always difficult for players who have returned from injury to perform well. Manchester City may not use Chiellini."
"Kicker": "Ronaldinho is confident to help the team win at the Etihad Stadium!"
"Bild": "Quaresma is looking forward to his state when facing Deng Kai, he is ready!"
On April 8, the first leg of the UEFA Cup quarter-finals kicked off.
For Manchester City, Kompany and Chiellini formed a central defender partnership.
Desailly and Thiago Silva were on the bench.
Thirty minutes of the first half.
Toure succeeded with a heavy shot and opened the scoring for Manchester City.
But soon, after receiving a pass from Ronaldinho, Quaresma cut inside past Ram and then scored with a cold shot from outside the penalty area.
One to one.
In the second half, Ronaldinho scored directly from a free kick to help Barcelona take the lead.
Eighty-five minutes.
Deng Kai took a corner kick and Kompany scored with a header to equalize the score.
But the Barcelona people left with a smile on their face.
Because they scored two away goals.
Back at Camp Nou, they just need to defend tightly and keep the score balanced to advance.
They have a head start in entering the finals!
All media outlets think so too.
The result of this game also confirmed everyone's previous predictions.
Manchester City and Arsenal...really lose both sides!
As long as they have someone who can take the initiative to give in in the league and provide a substitute lineup.
The side that gives in has a high probability of making further progress in the European war.
Because whether it's Arsenal versus Chelsea or Manchester City versus Barcelona, the former has the advantage.
And the side that doesn't give in can also gain the league.
One per person, no one loses.
Why do you want to fight on two fronts?
You can’t escape the word greedy!
…
On April 9, a controversial scene occurred.
In Deng Kai's personal news, a promotional message was released.
Because Hathaway's movie "Cinderella" is released today.
According to the previous style, Deng Kai must be going to attend the event with Hathaway to help expose his girlfriend.
No matter what happens, you have to go to the cinema and show off your movie tickets.
But Manchester City's schedule this season is too tight.
Deng Kai only posted one update.
I didn’t expect that just because of this post, I would be trolled.
"Did Deng Kai make a mistake? With such a tight schedule, he actually wanted to help Hathaway promote it?"
"It's a bit tough! So what does Manchester City mean to Deng Kai?"
"It feels like Deng Kai doesn't pay much attention to Manchester City's games. That's right. Football fans on his social account don't seem to account for more than 40%?"
"Haha! Now that you think you are the best in the world, you start thinking about playing for fun, right? You want to cross over, right? You want to act in a movie?"
"No matter what you say, Deng Kai's attitude is too non-serious. He needs to give an explanation to the rest of the team."
"Since my mind is not on football, my performance will definitely not keep up. It seems that there is a reason for Manchester City's weakness during this period."
"Look, with Deng Kai's attitude, Manchester City is not far away from losing!"
This wave of public opinion made Deng Kai seem to have made a huge mistake.
April 10th, the 32nd round of the Premier League.
Manchester City beat Charlton 1-0.
After the game, reporters surrounded Deng Kai and asked him how he planned to explain the "Cinderella Incident".
Did you see it? This has become an event.
Fonte was the first to answer: "I don't know where the outside discussions started. But there is one thing I hope everyone can understand."
"That is, as one of the player representatives of Manchester City, I can definitely tell everyone that we will not have any dissatisfaction with the Kai team."
"He is always the one who works the hardest on the court and in training."
"He knows better than anyone how to spend his time."
"I don't want anyone to use the words "Manchester City player" to attack the Kai team. Because we don't dare, ah... because we always believe in and respect Deng Kai!"
Of course, some reporters were still unconvinced and continued to question Deng Kai, demanding an answer from him.
Deng Kai was annoyed by the torment and nodded: "Okay, it seems everyone wants to hear a few words from me."
"First of all, I sent that message. But I regret that I couldn't go to the cinema to watch the movie at the first time."
"I hope friends who have seen the movie can share the content of this movie with me. My intuition tells me that this is an excellent movie."
"Secondly, when people question the tight pace of Manchester City and I, has no one thought about the real reason why Manchester City's games are so close this season?"
"It's not just Manchester City, Arsenal can't beat it either."
"Isn't it the same with Chelsea?"
"This is a problem with the Premier League's schedule, or perhaps UEFA's schedule needs to be coordinated."
"The players, including the club, are just victims."
"And you're trying to put all the blame on one victim."
"I can bear it, but I think the fans should know the truth and think deeply. The future schedule should be reasonable."
"In this way, maybe when not playing, everyone can see the players in more places. Participate in activities with the players and truly understand what your favorite players are like other than playing."
"I think it's important both from a football and non-football perspective!"
"Finally, regarding this wave of discussions, my law firm has entrusted a professional organization to conduct an investigation, and I can now reveal some content to you."
"I will launch a lawsuit against FC Barcelona's commercial and marketing department and the sports department."
"They found "World Sports News", "Daily Sports News" and many other media to maliciously smear me and slander me. I want to fight for my reputation."
"At the same time, Manchester City will also appeal to UEFA. The reason is that we believe that Barcelona tried to manipulate the outcome of the game through illegal means outside the game."
Hiss!
The reporters were dumbfounded.

Co-authored by Barça in Heideng Kai?
Is Deng Kai so tough?
Barcelona can't even talk about him?
But most of those present were English media.
I feel very unhappy when I think about myself being used by the Spanish media.
Moreover, it is a good thing for all media that the Premier League team can win important honors.
The one near the water should get the moon first.
They all have more decent interviews.
If the Spanish team finally wins the championship, the English media will have no choice but to reprint other people's news and generate income for them.
Therefore, in England, the reversal of public opinion was very rapid and complete!
