Although Manchester City was eliminated in the Champions League, after the game, the English media did not criticize or laugh at them.

They even praised their performance in the Champions League this season, and they all had high hopes for their performance in the Champions League next season.

This is also a rare scene. Because of foreign capital, Manchester City has always been the object of ridicule in England.

But this time, Manchester City won respect with their actual performance on the court.

The Champions League is over, but the season is not over.

The last two rounds of the league are actually the last round for Manchester City.

As long as they can beat Aston Villa at home, they will win the league championship trophy one round ahead of schedule.

This is a big deal.

It is a major event for Manchester City clubs.

Forty-two years, Manchester City has never won the top league in England.

Their fans have even forgotten what it feels like to win a top league...

Now, just two seasons after Middle East Capital injected the team, Manchester City has the chance to win the league championship.

This is a loud slap for those who have always believed that money cannot bring any championship to Manchester City.

In fact, it is necessary to acknowledge the role of money in promoting football.

It's not twenty or thirty years ago now.

There have always been voices saying that commercial football is destroying football, but in fact, on the contrary, without such a high degree of commercialization, football might not have been paid attention to it, and it would not have been possible to become the world's number one sport.

After all, human beings have not yet entered communism, so money is very needed, not only by one person, but also by a movement.

Before the Olympics were commercialized, no one wanted to do it. As a result, since the introduction of sponsors to the Los Angeles Olympics in 1984, the Olympics suddenly became a hot commodity, and countries around the world rushed to do it. Even if they invested a lot of money, they still had to do it. Are the heads of governments of countries around the world fools?

Thirty or forty years ago, many teams did not even have advertisements on their jerseys on their chests. Now there are advertisements on their butts, so everyone is used to it.

This is the trend.

If there was no large amount of money influx, the team was still using the dilapidated stadium. The quality of the turf of the stadium was similar to that of the vegetable fields. Players could not make money by playing football, and naturally they would not have the intention to devote themselves to training. The overall level of football would definitely not be much higher. Fans would not be able to see high-quality TV broadcasting images in front of the TV.

These all require money.

In Manchester City, if Manchester City did not have the acquisition of Middle East Capital, they may still be striving to relegate in the Premier League, so how could they have the chance to win the league championship?

Perhaps when the Abu Dhabi consortium just announced that it had acquired Manchester City, some Manchester City fans were resistant, but now there are no such people. Because Manchester City fans have tasted the sweetness of capital.

Who doesn't like champions?

What’s wrong with having money to bring a championship?

Those who yell that money will corrupt football and lose the tradition of English football are fans of teams that have no capital to be favored.

They can only use the excuse of "money will corrupt football" to cover up the embarrassment of their team's no one's interest...

Three days after a match against Inter Milan, Manchester City welcomed Aston Villa on Sunday afternoon at its home Manchester City Stadium.

Everyone knows what this game means for Manchester City.

On this day, the tickets for Manchester City Stadium were sold out, and Manchester City fans arrived outside the stadium five hours in advance.

Waiting is not boring, because they can have fun chatting with many of the same people, discussing Manchester City's performance this season.

Everyone's face shines and their faces are rosy as they speak.

Manchester City's performance this season has made fans feel very happy.

Every game of this season seems to be able to chat for three days and three nights with excitement.

Manchester City fans are looking at today's game with a relaxed, joyful and exciting look forward to it.

They are not worried that Manchester City will lose to Aston Villa at home in this game.

Manchester City's performance this season has given them such confidence.

They don't think Manchester City will capsize in the gutter of the home court.

Besides, even if other Manchester City players will be affected by their upcoming league championships, aren’t we still honored?

With Rong, what else can I worry about?

※※※

There are indeed people in Manchester City who are excited about the upcoming game.

But glory does not.

He has won almost all the championships a player can win. He will not have any other emotions about a league championship, even if it is just Manchester City's first top league championship in 42 years.

He just accomplished his own tasks.

But this doesn't mean he's going to do it perfunctorily.

He will take this game seriously, just like other games seriously.

Especially when Manchester City was just eliminated from the Champions League by Inter Milan, Rongguang felt that he should win a championship trophy for the fans to comfort them.

From leaving the hotel, to boarding the bus, to arriving at Manchester City Stadium, Glory's expression has always been very calm.

And those Manchester City players who were a little nervous or nervous gradually calmed down after seeing their captain's expression - with Rong aside, what else should I worry about?

※※※

Before this game started, it had already attracted much attention.

Everyone is discussing whether Manchester City will win the league title in this game and whether they will make history.

No one cared about their opponent Aston Villa at all.

But Aston Villa naturally would not be willing to be a supporting role.

After the game started, Aston Villa got into the state faster than Manchester City. They were aggressive and wanted to score first, which disrupted the good show that Manchester City wanted to win the cup at home.

In the first ten minutes of the game, it seems that Aston Villa can really do it.

But in the twelfth minute, Rong Guang made a long-distance rush. After passing three Aston Villa players in a row, he shook Aston Villa's goalkeeper Friedel with a fake move, and then sent the ball into the empty goal.

"Rong Rongrong--" Amid John Mortson's shouts, Manchester City Stadium became a sea of ​​joy, everyone jumped out of their seats and shouted.

Glory scored, Manchester City took the lead

"Manchester City leads Aston Villa 0 as long as they can keep this lead until the final game, they will win the league title."

Manchester City fans in the stands couldn't wait to sing "We are the Champions".

The facts were the same as they expected - with glory, so what else to worry about?

"Manchester City can already start celebrating their first Premier League title in advance. It's a really historic moment..."

In the following time, commentators John Motson and Alan Hansen began to review the audience how Manchester City got here step by step this season.

No one blames them for not focusing on the game, because in the eyes of many people, there is no suspense in this game.

Manchester City players have played very easily.

But by the end of the first half, Aston Villa equalized the score

"John Carru scored a goal for Aston Villa and equalized the score..."

The first half of Manchester City Stadium was always very lively, with singing and cheering from Manchester City fans from beginning to end. Every time Manchester City players get the ball, they can cheer.

But now, after Karu scored, such cheers were much less.

"Actually, it's okay. Even if Manchester City tied this game, they could still win the championship as long as they win in the last round..."

Alan Hansen said.

"That's right, but Manchester City will definitely prefer to win the championship at home rather than go away..."

"Aston Villa proves that they are not here to be the Green Leaf. Manchester City should be more serious. It is too early to start celebrating the championship..."

The two commentators also said before that Manchester City could celebrate the championship in advance. Now, seeing Aston Villa scored, they immediately changed their words and warned Manchester City to remain calm.

However, Manchester City fans are now unable to worry about the trouble of finding commentators.

The Manchester City fans at the scene were not frustrated or panicked because of the goal. After the initial silence, they all asked Manchester City again to add up.

They shouted loudly in the stands, shouted the players' names, and then began singing team songs.

After the home game against Inter Milan, the relationship between Manchester City fans and players seemed to have reached a new level.

There will be no doubt or accusations. Everyone's hearts are in the same direction and their strength is in the same direction.

For the championship and for Manchester City's "big family dream".

Inspired by the fans, Manchester City players quickly adjusted their mentality after conceding the ball, and there was no ordinary situation where they would panic for a while after conceding the ball.

They ended the first half smoothly.

There are still 45 minutes left for them. As long as Manchester City does not collapse and performs normally, they should still be able to defeat Aston Villa.

So despite the final concealment of the goal, everyone is still confident in Manchester City.

Manchester City players think so.

After returning to the locker room, they were not depressed or anxious.

None of the negative emotions before they are about to win the championship.

This may be attributed to the omnipotent glory in their team.

Let Manchester City players know that the worst is the worst, the sky is falling, and the captain is still holding on.

Benitez did not blame the team for losing the ball in the last moment of the first half, as if the ball had never happened at all. He briefly arranged the tactics of the second half for the players and went out. Why was it a simple arrangement?
