Five hundred and ninetieth chapters the greatest test
If the goal in the League Cup announced Torres' return, in this league game, Torres truly proved that he is back. In this game, he showed that he is better than Sturridge.
Although he is two centimeters shorter than his opponent, the more mature Torres is better in confrontation, has better foot skills, and has a better overall view - at the same time, he is more mature than Sturridge.
He did not have no chances in the game, but he used two assists to help Di Natale score twice. In the second half, he used a header to score Manchester City's third goal. Manchester City defeated 3-1 away from home.
Everton!
In this round, Arsenal suffered a draw - they were tied 1-1 by Birmingham City at home. Manchester City surpassed Arsenal by one point and climbed to the top of the standings. Arsenal's points
Being tied by Manchester United, these two teams are ranked behind Manchester City with a one-point disadvantage!
After a series of arduous strangleholds, Manchester City finally reached the first position - for Dick, what he has to do is to maintain the advantage during this period, and then strive to take this advantage when the Champions League knockout rounds begin.
expand!
"I think if Adebayor has to retire without winning the league championship, he can make preparations now." Dick said with a smile at the post-match press conference: "Of course, if he doesn't retire, we will
There is nothing anyone can do. It is understandable to sacrifice one's own reputation in order to cheer up the team. This is what a good player needs to do."
Dick's words made Adebayor very depressed, because his performance in this round of the league was not very good. Wenger also criticized Adebayor in the team because of his random swearing, but Wenger did not expect that
Yes, being stimulated by Dick in this way, Adebayor not only hated Dick, but also hated him - Wenger was also unlucky to meet such a white-eyed wolf...
In the middle of the week, Manchester City ushered in the FA Cup rematch. In this game, Manchester City, who returned to their home court, defeated West Ham United with one goal. Although they also sent out all their substitutes, at their home court, Manchester City obviously
To perform better, Vidal scored a goal in the second half, helping Manchester City enter the fourth round of the FA Cup. In the fourth round, Manchester City met a British Championship team, Sheffield
Union.
Just finished playing West Ham United. Manchester City’s opponent in the league is West Ham United again, and it is also at their home court. For the Manchester City players, this game was also more enjoyable, because Kubi
Slee seemed to have seen the opportunity to eliminate Manchester City and enter the next round of the FA Cup, so he sent out most of the main players in the FA Cup in midweek. However, he failed to win, and instead tormented the main players.
In this game, West Ham United only resisted for 30 minutes and began to collapse. Manchester City's main players relied on a goal from the Trident and the icing on the cake from Barnes to sweep West Ham 4-1 at home.
The United team continues to lead the league in first place.
Arsenal also recovered some energy. They defeated Fulham 3-0 in the away game and were closely chasing behind Manchester City. Adebayor scored a goal in this game, which made Adebayor's confidence seem to be
It has recovered a lot.
"We will beat Manchester City away from home. With this victory, we will overtake Manchester City in the league and eventually win the championship! Let me reiterate, if Arsenal cannot win the league championship this season, I will retire!" Adeba
Say it with confidence.
"Adebayor said that again? Well, does he think we are the only opponent to win the league? This is too underestimated for other teams... I think our biggest opponent for the league this season should be Manchester United.
and Chelsea. These two teams have great stamina and their overall strength is excellent. When fighting on several lines, whether the overall strength is excellent or not determines what kind of results can be achieved. At this point, Arsenal is still a little behind.
Their main players are very good, but their substitutes are a little bit worse."
Dick's response was very calm, and he didn't say anything about whether Adeba would retire after the season. Such a flat attitude made people feel that he seemed so unconcerned because he was absolutely sure.
of……
In the next game, Manchester City's performance proved that Dick's lackluster response was nothing but absolute confidence in his team!
In this game, both sides sent their main players. If Manchester City relied on Ribery and Yaya Toure's goals to lead Arsenal 2-1 in the first half, which is a relatively normal score, then this game
The score after the game was very surprising...
Five to one! In the second half of the game, Manchester City completely occupied the advantage on the field. Although Torres was replaced by Dick and Sturridge after scoring a goal, Manchester City's goals did not stop.
, Barton also scored his first goal of the season, and with Richards' icing on the cake, Manchester City scored three goals in the second half, completely defeating Arsenal and eliminating them with a score of 6 to 2 in two rounds.
Defeat Arsenal and reach the League Cup final!
In this game, Adebayor was completely targeted by Manchester City's two main central defenders, Samuel and Kompany. Not only did he not score, but he also failed to assist his teammates. Arsenal's only goal came from
Cesc Fabregas scored after a forward penetration. For Arsenal, they were completely suppressed by Manchester City in this game, not only because of physical problems, but also because of Adebayor's abnormal performance.
Adebayor's tactical position in the current Arsenal team is a bit like Torres' tactical position in Manchester City. He is the forward at the forefront, using strength and ball-making to drive the entire team's offense. At the same time, he is also offensive.
The terminator, he has been in good form since the beginning of this season, so he has scored goals continuously, which also allows Arsenal's offense to always come to a perfect end. However, in this game, he was completely targeted by Manchester City's central defender.
He almost didn't show any strength. Under such circumstances, it's no wonder that Arsenal's offense was not affected.
This is also the biggest reason why Arsenal has never been able to reach its peak in recent years, because they always rely on certain players. When these players fail, they will be particularly affected. In addition, the season has reached this point.
At that time, it was also a period of low status for the Arsenal players. It is not surprising that they were beaten like this by the unreasonable Manchester City...
But it is obvious that losing such a tragic game under such circumstances will have a huge impact on Arsenal's morale. Wenger seemed helpless when attending the press conference, and when the reporters
When asked about Adebayor's performance, he could only change the subject, because Adebayor's performance was too average, and he had just made a fuss before but performed so poorly that he was not ignored by reporters.
It would be strange to pursue and fight fiercely.
Dick looked at all this with a smile. He knew that after this game, Manchester City's morale was completely mobilized, and if they could win the league game against Arsenal ten days later, they would probably
Completely throw Arsenal away from this opponent!
Arsenal has a big weakness. They will usher in a trough period after February. If Manchester City can focus on grabbing more points at this time, they will at least be able to put aside a strong opponent to a large extent!
Liverpool has never been Manchester City's biggest opponent in the league. They do not have the overall strength and ability to grab points to win the championship. If they can get rid of Arsenal, then Manchester City's opponents will only be Manchester United and Chelsea. If history does not
If there is a deviation, these two teams will meet in the Champions League final. The impact of the Champions League on them will last until the end of the season. This is the biggest opportunity for Manchester City!
Putting aside two strong teams that will not advance too far in the Champions League, and then using the other two strong teams to distract the Champions League to attack the championship, this is Dick's plan to win the championship, and this plan has great success.
possibility!
Dick didn't think there was any doubt that this would be a win. After all, Manchester City had only started to form a team this season. Just concentrate on playing in the league. If you can win the cup, you can wait until the team matures next season and fill in some outstanding players.
The team will then attack all the championships on several fronts and have a fairer competition with all opponents!
Manchester City's recent performance has been good, which has made their substitute players look better. Over the weekend, Manchester City ushered in the fourth round of the FA Cup. The substitutes performed well in the away game. Although they conceded two goals, the substitutes
Scored a lot of goals. Ashley Young, Ireland, Vidal and Joel Luka all scored in the game. Manchester City defeated Sheffield United 4-2 in an away game and successfully advanced to the fifth round of the FA Cup.
, their opponent in the fifth round was Middlesbrough, a mid-table team in the Premier League.
However, in the next round of the league, Manchester United stopped their winning streak. They were tied 1-1 by the weak Derby County in the away game. Arsenal ushered in a game after a bad defeat.
After a big victory and a 3-0 victory over Newcastle, Arsenal once again surpassed Manchester City by one point and returned to the first place in the standings. At the same time, Manchester United also won this round of games. They tied for the top spot with 57 points. Manchester City
Falling to third place with 56 points, Chelsea has also caught up. Their current points have reached 53. Only Liverpool seems to be very unlucky. Their current points are only 43. If
If there is no improvement, maybe they will miss the Champions League next season...
Benitez is now under a lot of pressure. Originally, when the overall strength of the team was relatively weak, he was used to building up his character in the league and then winning the Champions League. At least he succeeded once, and he was close to success another time.
Therefore, although there is no league championship, his position has always been very stable. However, after the sudden emergence of Manchester City, the four places are not enough. If he cannot win the Champions League this season, the possibility of Benítez sacking begins.
It has become very big!
But at this time, everyone's eyes are on the next two rounds of the league. For Manchester City, the next two rounds of the league are very important. In the 25th round, they will face Arsenal at home. In the next 20 rounds, they will face Arsenal at home.
In the sixth round, they will go to an away game to challenge Manchester United. They will face two championship opponents in a row, both of which are ranked above them. It will definitely be a huge test for Manchester City!
If they can defeat these two opponents in a row, Manchester City's morale and state will reach its peak. As the Champions League is about to resume the war, Manchester City will have an increasingly advantage. However, if they lose consecutively, the impact on them will be
It will also be very huge...
Dick's biggest test since taking charge of Manchester City is about to come.
