"...It's very bad news for Manchester City, Matuidi was injured last night's game against Swansea, and he had a torn cruciate ligament in his right knee, and he will undergo surgery immediately while missing all the remaining games of the season..."

After the game, when the media reported on Manchester City's related news, it was all related to Matuidi's injury.

I can't remember that Manchester City finally beat Swansea 1-0 away, but no one paid attention to it.

Anyway, Manchester City's winning is no longer news.

What makes everyone so excited is the impact of Matuidi's injury on Manchester City.

As football professionals, everyone knows exactly what Matuidi's injury means to Manchester City.

"...I feel that Manchester City has been living too comfortable in the past year. There are few injuries in their lineup, and all the players are in good condition... Of course, because of this, Manchester City can set a record of not losing in the league for the whole year and win the Champions League championship historically. But now the good luck is over... I think Manchester City will collapse soon under the attack of injuries..."

"I'd said before that Manchester City tried to make some achievements on all fronts, which was very stupid. At that time, those Manchester City supporters were still attacking me and only knew how to sing about Manchester City... Now, see if what I said makes sense? Matuidi's serious injury is related to the fatigue of Manchester City fighting on multiple fronts! Because when Matuidi was injured, he was not in a physical confrontation state. He tore his cruciate ligament while doing a turning action... What does this mean? It means that the continuous high-intensity competition has made Matuidi's ligament fragile! It's like the strings that have been tightened, will break when played continuously and continuously and with high intensity..."

"Although Benitez insists on using rotation, for Manchester City, they have had too many games in the past three months. League, League Cup, FA Cup, Club World Cup, Champions League... There are 24 games in total, which does not include the hardships of various laborers... Intensive events have become Manchester City's biggest trouble now. I can understand the idea that Manchester City hopes to win the championship, but what I want to say is that this idea is very dangerous. The most important thing for a team is to have self-knowledge. With Manchester City's current level and bench thickness, it is still difficult to win the championship in the whole line. Triple Crown champions often rely on luck, let alone they are not as simple as triple Crown champions..."

All kinds of remarks that are not optimistic about Manchester City's future are once again overwhelming towards Manchester City's club.

Why is it said to be "again"?

Because of such waves of public opinion, Manchester City Club has "enjoyed" countless times.

Benitez said in an interview: "Who said we were lucky in the past? Just in the first half of this season, David Silva had a two-month injury. The injury never interrupted and harassed us. Our results were achieved under such circumstances. Matuidi's injury is indeed a very bad news for the team. In fact, no matter which player is injured, it is something we don't want to see. But I deny those who think that Matuidi's performance will plummet when it is injured. This is an erase of other players' efforts..."

Manchester City players also accepted interviews to express their opinions.

"We called Bryce (Matuidi) and comforted him. We waited for him to return to the team. At the same time, we promised him that we would definitely win the next championship. I think this is the best comfort for him!" Sneder said in an interview.

"I feel sad for every teammate who is unable to participate in the game due to injury, and I feel it. But it also motivates us to perform better..." Kaka once suffered from groin injury for a long time, and everyone believed what he said.

"Matuidi's injury is unfortunate. But we will not fall." Ibrahimovic said concisely.

Because of Matuidi's injury, Gareth Barry, who regained the starting opportunity, also hopes that Matuidi can recover from injury as soon as possible and return to the team. "... The coach has told me in training that my main task is defense, and I will do my defensive work seriously. I am willing to contribute my full strength to the team at this time."

As for the team captain, Rongguang, how did he answer the reporters’ questions?

"Since I transferred to Manchester City, I have heard such remarks countless times. I am very sorry that those people have not found new excuses so far. As for whether Manchester City will collapse..." Speaking of this, Rong Guang curled his lips disdainfully, "Let's go and see."

One of the evidence that analysts think that Manchester City is on the brink of danger is that this very intensive schedule of Manchester City has not ended there.

After just finishing the game with Swansea, when other teams are about to rest in the middle of the week, Manchester City still has to participate in a make-up match.

The 26th round of the league was added, and Manchester City played against Blackburn at home. At that time, because Manchester City participated in the League Cup final, the game was postponed to March 14th.

After playing this make-up match, Manchester City will host their opponent Stoke City in the League Cup final on March 18.

Then on March 22, in the 29th round of the league, Manchester City played against Chelsea at home.

On March 25, in the 30th round of the league, Manchester City challenged Stoke City away.

On March 28, the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals is not known yet, but after Manchester City finishes this supplementary game, their Champions League opponent will also be released.

On March 31, Manchester City will face Sunderland at home, which is the 31st round of the league.

On April 4th, the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

On April 8, in the 32nd round of the league, Manchester City challenged Arsenal away.

On April 11, Manchester City will face West Bromwich at home, in the 33rd round of the league.

In the FA Cup semi-finals on April 14, Manchester City will play against Everton at home.

At the same time, the 34th round of the league that should be held on this day was postponed to May 1st, and Manchester City challenged Norwich away.

On April 18, the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals - if Manchester City could reach the semi-finals at that time.

On April 22, in the 35th round of the league, Manchester City challenged Wolves away.

On April 25, the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals.

On April 29, in the 36th round of the league, Manchester City will play against Manchester United at home.

On May 1st, the 34th round of the league will be supplemented.

On May 5, the FA Cup final - if Manchester City can reach the finals by then.

It can be seen that since Manchester City played against Bolton at home on March 3rd, every week after Manchester City played double games a week until the FA Cup final day on May 5th.

This was the case in March and April, and there were many double-games in one week since December last year to February this year.

This has brought great tests to Manchester City's physical fitness.

At the end of the season, it is often time for players to exhaust their physical reserves. At this time, players are often powerless and physically exhausted, which can easily increase the possibility of players being injured and seriously injured.

For example, Matuidi's serious injury is a very typical example.

If you analyze Manchester City's schedule for the next two months, it makes it difficult to believe that they can really stand it and not collapse.

How strong is Real Madrid, the "Galaxy Battleship"?

Because of lack of physical fitness, a five-game losing streak collapsed in the final stage of the league. Originally, the first in the league turned into the third in the league...

Real Madrid may collapse, why doesn’t Manchester City?

So although Manchester City expressed confidence in interviews from coaches to players, they did not believe their words, and they still believed in the general rules they analyzed from data and historical papers.

No matter how many times they analyze it, the results they get are the same.

That is, if we follow the general rules, Manchester City... will definitely die!

On March 14, the 26th round of the league was added, Manchester City's home match against Blackburn began with many doubts and eyes.

It seems to be to prove that Manchester City has no problem.

In this game, Manchester City played in a very good state, and the whole team was in such a state, not one or two people.

Even though Glory didn't get the opportunity to perform, the game was already over.

At the end of the first half, Manchester City led two goals, with goals scored by Ibrahimovic and Sneider respectively.

The second half only started three minutes, and Zabaleta scored Manchester City's third goal, 3:0, and the game was killed.

"I remember the media said that Manchester City is in a worrying state now?" John Motterson asked after Zabaleta scored.

"The media always likes to tell lies, and you don't know." Alan Hansen shrugged. "Maybe they'll find a new excuse after this game."

Then he laughed.

The game is over, and although the game continues, no one has the heart to do it in the game.

Especially those media reporters who sneered Manchester City.
Chapter completed!
