After Manchester City beat their city rival Manchester United 0 at home, they still have three rounds of league games before the end of the league. They are still four points ahead of Chelsea.

Even if he encountered such a tragic game with Barcelona, ​​Manchester City's performance in the league did not show any ups and downs.

Of course this is due to glory.

When the whole Manchester City team was not performing well enough, Rong Guang stepped forward and saved the team.

This also disappoints those who expect Manchester City to be in a state of unstable state due to the two-front battle.

In fact, their previous analysis is correct. Manchester City did seem to be a little inadequate when facing a two-line battle and lacked response experience.

But they ignored one thing, that is, Manchester City has glory.

This is someone who can decide the outcome of the game by one's own strength.

Even if the whole Manchester City team is not good, as long as Glory performs normally, it will still be difficult to defeat Manchester City.

Manchester City is now leading Chelsea for four points, and they will challenge Arsenal away in the next round of the league, while Chelsea's opponent is Stoke City, and they are at home.

This will also be a focus battle.

Manchester City and Arsenal used to have no grudges, but since Manchester City robbed Arsenal of fourth place in the league last season, the two teams now have a lot of grudges and hatreds.

In addition to this incident, there are also records.

Glory announced on behalf of Manchester City that he would strive for Arsenal's record of unbeaten for 49 rounds in the league, which will naturally make Arsenal's supporters very upset. With new and old hatreds, Arsenal will never let Manchester City go easily at his home court.

Besides, Arsenal is also competing for fourth place in the league.

They are now ranked fourth in the league with 71 points, and fifth in the league is their city rival Tottenham Hotspur. Tottenham Hotspur is 67 points, and the two sides are only four points away. With three rounds left in the league, nothing is possible.

However, before that, Manchester City will have to consider Inter Milan, the opponent in the Champions League semi-finals.

After playing against Manchester United, Manchester City did not choose to rest, nor did they leave the Carrington training base in Manchester to train. Instead, they took the bus right the next morning and headed towards Milan, Italy, thousands of miles away.

It was a very difficult journey, although they had state-of-the-art buses, and even toilets and bars. But taking such a bus for long trips is still not a pleasure.

According to the club's arrangement, they planned to leave in two days, arrive in France on the first day, then rest for one night in France, and finally arrive in Milan the next day.

Because it is just a driver who cannot drive all the time, it will be very tired and needs to rest after driving for a few hours, so the time will be extended.

It is impossible to reach your destination in one day.

In order to deal with such a long and boring journey, the players tried their best to do everything. Some played cards and made golden flowers in the car, some brought all kinds of game consoles, some brought laptops, and planned to watch movies and American TV series in the car, some prepared several mobile power supplies to charge their phones, and some wore eye masks and planned to start sleeping when they got on the car.

Faced with such a long journey, glory seemed boring.

First, he doesn't play games. Second, he doesn't play with mobile phones. Third, he is not interested in movies and American TV series. Fourth, he doesn't have the habit of going to bed so early.

He's used to training

But in the car, he really couldn't train himself...

It was a boring journey.

※※※

Benitez sat in the front row of the bus and sat with his coaching staff.

He looked back at the players in the car. Some were asleep, some were still playing games, and some were staring at the scenery outside the car window with boredom.

Many people seem listless.

It took two days to last this time, and it was only two days before the start of the game. They had set out in advance...

In just two days, the players need to rest and arrange training... ¨

What effect can this kind of training be explained?

In addition, the team is full of wounded soldiers, and the players are generally exhausted...

Benitez sighed.

If he told him before the start of the season, Manchester City could reach the Champions League semifinals this season and reach the semifinals, he would definitely think this is a really great result.

But after really experiencing this process, he was no longer willing to give up and ended up here.

The match against Inter Milan was held on Wednesday night, and Manchester City's performance was not satisfactory at the Meazza Stadium.

The team was very tired, which was obvious.

Because of fatigue, I am not in the state.

Inter Milan has taken control of the situation from the beginning.

They scored three goals in one go.

Manchester City only scored a goal with a direct free kick in the 72nd minute, regaining face.

Commentator John Motterson believes that fatigue from long-distance travel and painful losses to Barcelona are the main reasons for Manchester City's poor performance in this game

Alan Hansen agreed.

"...But after watching their away game against Barcelona, ​​I think no one can ask for too much or blame them." Alan Hansen finally said. "As the first team to participate in the Champions League in 40 years, they have performed very, very well this season."

※※※

After the game, Manchester City players seemed very frustrated about losing the game. Only Rongguang said that he would not give up and would strive to reverse when he returned to home.

But that's the middle of next week. Now what Manchester City should consider most is the away game this weekend...

※※※

In the game against Arsenal, what made Arsenal fans most unhappy were the words Rong Guang said before. He said he wanted to try to challenge Arsenal's record. At that time, his tone and attitude made Arsenal fans think that Rong Guang did not respect Arsenal at all.

Therefore they were filled with disgust for glory.

In this game, no matter what Arsenal gets the prize, he should beat Manchester City at home.

Isn’t your glory bragging about challenging our forty-nine unbeaten record?

Then I will break it for you now, see how you challenge it

Manchester City's game against Inter Milan gave them confidence.

Since Manchester City was in such a bad state when they challenged Inter Milan, when they returned to England to play Arsenal, they would definitely not be in much better shape.

Because they got there, they had to come back. Because of the volcanic eruption in Iceland, the sky above Europe is still not open.

And now the entrances and exits of the undersea tunnels in the English Channel are very, very congested.

These troubles are enough for the whole Manchester City team to drink a pot of money.

After just playing against Inter Milan, I went through this trip and made a lot of trouble. Arsenal played at home and waited for his time. How could he not defeat Manchester City, who had just lost the ball?

As Arsenal fans expected, Manchester City did take a bus back to the UK from Milan.

In order to save time, they did not return to Manchester, but the whole team arrived directly to London and then stayed in the hotel to prepare for the game against Arsenal.

This time the Tottenham Hotspur Club offers their training grounds.

Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal are a pair of arch rivals in North London. Tottenham Hotspur is still competing with Arsenal for the Champions League qualification next season. If Manchester City can beat Arsenal, it will be a good opportunity for Tottenham Hotspur.

So Tottenham Hotspur is very happy to lend it to Manchester City's training base at this time.

Not to mention borrowing the venue, if the rules allow it, they can lend Bale and Lennon to Manchester City.

On April 24, three days after the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Manchester City's away challenge to Arsenal began.

Benitez did not make much adjustments in this game, and basically all Manchester City's main players appeared in the game against Arsenal.

When the game started, Manchester City did play very passively. The continuous high-intensity games and long-distance running fatigue had a significant impact on the team.

So in terms of tactical choices, Benitez is also more conservative than before. In this game, he believes that the team can draw Arsenal away is a victory.

After tied Arsenal, even if Chelsea won, Manchester City would still lead Chelsea by two points.

With two rounds left in the league, Manchester City can win the championship as long as one win and draw. At that time, they have the same points as Chelsea, but in goal difference, Manchester City has a more advantage and will win the league championship with goal difference.

This is Benitez's wishful thinking.

Of course, Arsenal would not let Manchester City get the results they want so easily.

They use their home court advantages and ball control advantages to keep the football firmly under their feet, and use the pass to mobilize Manchester City players to run the field, making Manchester City players who are already in short supply more tired.

In the 31st minute, Manchester City's goal finally fell. Arsavevin took the lead for Arsenal.

At that moment, the stands at Emirates Stadium were shaking and trembling - all caused by the sounds made by Arsenal fans.

Arsenal fans have been looking forward to this moment for a long time.

All the emotions they had accumulated before seemed to be vented through this ball.

Some Arsenal fans roared at Manchester City players on the court, "Want to break our record? Dreaming about it is idiot"

When the TV broadcasts close-ups of Manchester City players, most of the Manchester City players who appear in the close-ups have a dull look.

They seem to be no longer concerned about the goal concealment.

Or they were not surprised.
