Chapter 127 It makes sense
For the players, after the game is over, they will no longer think about this game, it is already a past tense.
But the media and fans won't do this. For them, the game can last for at least half a week, and they can discuss the game that just passed until the next game comes.
Especially this game was also linked to the league champion.
That is more worthy of discussion.
Needless to say, the discussion between fans of both sides after the game, the media supporting their respective teams also confronted them on their positions.
Manchester media said that Manchester City's victory in this game can be said to have laid the foundation for winning this season. If Manchester City really wins the championship in the end, this game will definitely be a milestone.
How can London media accept that the opponent announces victory in advance?
They analyzed Manchester City's championship situation from various angles and were not optimistic so much that everyone was thinking.
With ten rounds left in the league, Manchester City only leads Chelsea by four points.
Both sides will have Champions League events to play next, which will definitely become an important factor in determining the final league championship.
Because the team's two-line battle will consume a lot of energy. In this regard, Chelsea has more advantages than Manchester City because they have more experience in dealing with such two-line battles. This is the first time Manchester City has entered the Champions League knockout stage.
Lack of experience will be a major hidden danger for Manchester City.
Experience is very mysterious, and you may not notice it at all. But when you encounter problems, Chelsea will know how to deal with it correctly, but Manchester City cannot do it because they lack experience in dealing with this situation and don’t know what to do.
At that time, Manchester City may collapse on both sides due to a two-line battle, be eliminated in the Champions League and be overtaken by Chelsea in the league.
This is the "winning roadmap" that London media has made for Chelsea.
Since Chelsea failed to beat Manchester City in the last direct conversation of the season, all they have to do now is wait for Manchester City to make mistakes in the final sprint stage of the league.
Before that, Chelsea will keep putting pressure on the opponent. In the next ten rounds of the league, they must win all of them and win every game, so that Manchester City can understand that although they are now four points ahead, if you are not careful, the four-point lead will be gone.
In this way, Manchester City has no room for mistakes in the league.
This is a lot of pressure for Manchester City players.
This is like a long-distance marathon. The one with the greatest pressure is definitely not the chaser, but the leader.
He will worry that he will be overtaken by the other party, and this huge psychological gap will turn into huge psychological pressure.
In addition to London media, most media in other places also support this statement by London media.
Of course, they walked like this for two purposes, one is that they also felt that the London media analysis was correct.
Another reason is that he is unwilling to let Manchester City win the league championship.
If Manchester City can win the league championship by spending money so simply and rudely, then many people will think that this is an insult to the sport of football and the Premier League.
Even if you want to win the championship, it should be a process of gradual accumulation. After a few years, the time comes, and it is time to win the championship. At that time, no one will criticize your championship again.
After Chelsea was acquired by Abramovich, it took only two years to win the Premier League championship, which has already made many English media very upset.
Now Manchester City is going to take the same path as Chelsea. They are very worried and a little scared - they are afraid that Manchester City will open Pandora's magic box and more external capital will pour into the Premier League, using money to kidnap football, causing English football to lose its purity and destroy the tradition of English football.
Tradition and purity are things that English football places special attention.
After all, they are the birthplace of modern football and have always been proud of being "traditional" and "authentic". Looking at football in other countries, they think they are just off-the-scenes and copycats.
But this sense of superiority has been greatly impacted after more and more external capital has poured into the Premier League.
Only then did they realize that the "tradition" and "authentic" they were proud of were almost worthless in front of money.
Manchester United, the most successful club in Premier League history, is already the treasure of American businessmen.
Liverpool, the most successful team in English football history, has also been bought by two American businessmen.
Both of these flags have fallen, so what is the face of English football talking about tradition?
But many people just don’t understand this. When Manchester City rose by money, many people were disgusted with them.
For them, the league championship is a very symbolic honor. If Manchester City wins the league championship, it is like the beloved thing they value most has been tarnished by dirty money...
They don't want this to happen.
For a time, many media across the country supported the London media's view that even if Manchester City won this game, it did not mean that they would win the league championship.

“This is ridiculous”
In Manchester City's locker room, everyone was changing clothes while talking about recent topics before training began.
The game that just ended has caused discussions across England, so they naturally cannot turn a blind eye.
So the topic they discussed was also related to this.
The players absolutely disagree with the opinions of the London media.
"Before that game, was they said? They said that this game would be the battle of the Tianwang Mountain that determines the final ownership of the league championship. As a result, now that we win, they changed their words and said, even if we win this game, it is unlikely that we will win the championship... They really make sense of it."
The team's main goalkeeper Joe Hart said indignantly.
"Hey, aren't the media all this kind of virtue? I've been used to it for a long time." The team's old central defender, second captain Dunn, had a better temper and persuaded the young and energetic Joe Hart.
"But what they said seems to make sense. The next period of time is indeed a big test for us. When the league reaches the sprint stage, how far can we go in the Champions League... This will affect the final results..."
"Yes, so I said I feel that they all make sense, they are completely invincible," complained Joe Hart.
As a professional player, he is definitely not a match for media reporters in terms of verbal play. Just as those reporters are not his opponents in terms of snatching and keeping goals, he is not professional in terms of verbal battles.
Just as everyone was discussing it, Rong Guang pushed the door in sweat-he had already finished his extra training before the morning training.
Seeing him appear, the teammates in the locker room couldn't help but stop discussing and then turned their eyes to him.
Whether the team can win the championship in the end and how far it can go in the Champions League is the person in front of you.
However, Rongguang didn't seem to notice the eyes of his teammates. He walked straight to the shower room behind the locker room, and soon there was a clamor of water inside.
Everyone looked at each other and started their previous discussion again.

When I got home and had dinner, Debola said to Rongguang: "The reporter from the Evening News contacted me and hoped that you would like to express your views on the remarks of the London media today..."
Rong Guang shrugged: "What's there to say? No matter how much you say, it's useless. No matter how you say it, they can find out what is beneficial to them."
"But that's not the reason for you to remain silent, Rong. There are some things that are silent the more you are, the more they are." Deborah advised. "So you still have to say something."
Rongguang thought for a while, then nodded: "Okay, then tell the Evening News that football is not something that can be said by mouth. Whether we can win the championship is not the media reporters' decision. We have the final say."
※※※
"Rong responded to recent media statements. He believes that whether Manchester City won the league championship is the decisive factor in Manchester City's own performance..."
"Rong: The league championship belongs to the London media said nothing"
Before Manchester City's home match against Tottenham Hotspur in the 29th round of the league, the Manchester Evening News published this answer from Glory as a response to London media.
Of course, as Glory said, such a response is almost powerless.
No matter what the Manchester Evening News did to deal with the words of Glory, it did not make the London media stop their speculation.
In the football world, language can sometimes be said to be pale and powerless.
This is why Rongguang is reluctant to speak out on some controversial topics now.
If you have the skill to say, it’s better to do it directly.
That's what Glory does.
Next, Manchester City will face Tottenham Hotspur at home.
Glory scored the only goal for Manchester City in the game, helping Manchester City win the game against Tottenham Hotspur at its own home court.
Continue to lead the league standings.
Of course, Chelsea did not lose the chain, they beat Portsmouth 0 away.
The difference between the two sides is still four points.
But after all, Manchester City is leading, not Chelsea. Even if Chelsea keeps winning, as long as Manchester City keeps winning and before the last round, the two sides are still four points away, then Manchester City will win the league championship this season ahead of schedule.
So it's ten rounds of leagues, but it's actually nine rounds of leagues to decide the outcome.
And now there are eight league rounds left.
Rongguang did not respond further to comments from London media after the game.
In his heart, he was very disdainful of the words of the London media.
pressure?
Is it stressful to win ten consecutive league rounds of the league with 50 consecutive league unbeaten?
