v5 Chapter 134： Opponent's mistake

The game against Portsmouth is already in March. ⊥, x.

Time goes into March, the winter war has come to an end, the league has reached the final sprint stage.

Manchester City can focus on the league, which is good news for them, but the bad news will follow-Chelsea lost in the Champions League, they lost to Barcelona led by Rijkaard.

The Champions League defeat is bad news for Chelsea, but it is also bad news for Manchester City, because it means that Chelsea can focus on domestic competitions. Although they also have the FA Cup to play, after all, Manchester City's bench depth is not as good as Chelsea, Chelsea It can be said that there is no pressure to support two-line operations.

It can be said that from now on, the two teams will fight for the league championship.

Manchester City have an advantage of 4 points, but in the case of only 10 rounds left in the league, 4 points do not have an absolute advantage, so Wan Sheng emphasizes to the team that "We must win so we must win the game ! "

No mistakes are more important than a sudden performance.

Even if you draw or lose to your competitors, you must win the small team so that you can win more points and be more competitive in the league. After all, the league is a point system. Manchester United and Chelsea win 3 points and win. Lower Sunderland and Wigan Athletic are also 3 points.

That's why Manchester City pays special attention to this game against Portsmouth.

Before the match, Wansheng watched a lot of Portsmouth game videos, and had a better understanding of this team. In conclusion, this is a team on the edge of relegation. The offensive ability is quite poor, and the front players are sure The lack of opportunity and ability, the defense is also very weak, but it is not surprising to think that Portsmouth is currently ranked fifth in the bottom of the league.

Although it is a weak traveler. But it is not easy to win the game. After all, it is an away game, so Wan Sheng still has to be serious about the players before the game.

But when the game really arrived, the players on the court were still a bit careless.

No one expected the advanced ball to be Portsmouth. The game went to the 8th minute, and forward Karadass broke into the penalty area. Distin defensive mistakes fell to the ground, the starting goalkeeper Wang Xiaolei was still standing in the far corner, the position was quite bad, Karadaz got an excellent opportunity, he seized the opportunity and sent the ball into the ball with a precise low shot ball.

This ball is so amazing!

Portsmouth did not expect the goal to come so fast, and the Portsmouth fans were also pleasantly surprised.

After celebrating the goal, Portsmouth was not overwhelmed by the goal. They knew that the team's strength was still not comparable to that of Manchester City. So they decisively strengthened their defense.

Manchester City rushed to break the goal but failed for a long time, but frequent threats offensive made Portsmouth more determined to defend.

In the second half, Wan Sheng replaced Robbie Fowler, hoping that this experienced veteran could bring a goal, but Portsmouth is still very defensive, and it is difficult to penetrate them with the cooperation of the frontcourt. In defense, Manchester City had to change its strategy. Still use high-frequency **** to find opportunities.

Finally in the 71st minute of the game, the offense was rewarded. A pass from outside Morris found Darren Bent, who accurately pushed the ball into the door guarded by Westwest.

1: 1.

This is also the final score.

An away draw against Portsmouth is a loss for Manchester City, because their rival Chelsea won Tottenham, although they won very hard, only with a goal of the final stoppage time 1: 0 small win . But if you win, you win. Chelsea scored 3 points, Manchester City only got 1 point, and the gap between the two teams was only 2 points.

By this time, many media began to be pessimistic about Manchester City.

Many people were optimistic about Manchester City before. Because Manchester City are the first in the league, they have 4 points advantage, and they have performed quite well in the league. They double-killed Manchester United and defeated Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and other strong teams. Such a result surprised many people.

But now the situation is different, because Chelsea is not controlled by the Champions League, you can concentrate on the league.

Chelsea's power is undoubtedly, they are all tens of millions of stars on the bench. The lineup is unmatched by Manchester City. In front of Chelsea, Manchester City is like a bench depth gap. Only the main lineup, Manchester City won Only Morris and Anelka shot, but Chelsea? Lampard, Terry, Drogba, Makelele, Essien ... Almost all of them are big stars. What ’s more terrible is that these stars were combined into a whole by Mourinho. They It can be called the "blue battleship" after Real Madrid.

The lineup is incomparable, and both teams are single-minded leagues, so the match between Manchester City and Portsmouth is interpreted as ‘weakness at the end of the season’.

This is the case for many small teams. The initial stage of the league is very fierce and the results are not worse than those of the giants. However, by the end of the season, many external reasons have affected the results.

For example, Wigan Athletic, as a newly promoted horse, their results in the first half of the schedule can completely compete for the top four seats in the Premier League, but after Christmas, injuries, lineups and the adaptation of opponents and other reasons have greatly affected the results. They have fallen by three all the way down, with extremely advantageous results. Until now, they can only barely compete for the qualification of European competitions. Many analysts believe that Wigan Athletic can stay in the top ten is already good.

Manchester City's results from the beginning of the season to the present are very good, but this does not mean that they can stick to the end of the season. In the last ten rounds, their results are likely to decline.

As a result, they naturally have no chance of competing for the league championship.

The report from Manchester Sports News is like this, "Portsmouth is still in the relegation zone. They may not have expected to get a point in Manchester City, even if they are at home. After all, Manchester City's results are too good. . But they did, and Chelsea should thank Portsmouth ... "

"This round of Manchester City's 1: 1 draw with Portsmouth, they were overtaken by 2 points by Chelsea, with only 2 points left. We can imagine that soon Chelsea will overtake and become the top of the league. There will be no more opportunities for Manchester City ... "

As the big media in Manchester. "Manchester Sports News" is a loyal supporter of Manchester United, in fact, they do not like Chelsea, but if you choose one of Chelsea and Manchester City, they will directly choose Chelsea, because Chelsea is only a competitor. And Manchester City is a dead enemy for a hundred years, so they will not say good things about Manchester City.

Neutral media also said that they are more optimistic about Chelsea, because Chelsea is stronger, and the two points gap is only a game. If Chelsea can tie or even overtake the points, Manchester City will be difficult to get back.

Manchester City's support Manchester City also issued a voice of concern, they helped Manchester City analyze the reasons for the defeat.

"We should be more serious about the game, when playing with Portsmouth. Many players have not entered the state ..."

"It's a pity that the first goal was lost. Distin should pay more attention to defense!"

"If Anelka is injured, he should be allowed to pay as soon as possible, the French can bring more goals to the team."

"..."

For these remarks, Wan Sheng didn't care at all. After tying a game and let Chelsea catch up with 2 points, he knew that the media would not say anything good. So he just let the team prepare seriously.

The draw to Portsmouth reminded the team that it was more effective than how much saliva Wansheng wasted. Team training is more serious, the attitude towards the game is also more serious, so in the next round against Charlton, Manchester City won a 4: 0 victory.

The game immediately shut up the media.

Manchester City's performance was so good, they suppressed Charlton in the audience, making Charlton look helpless. From the beginning of the game, the situation was controlled by Manchester City, as was the score. Manchester City scored two goals each in the first and second half, showing absolute strength and suppression.

The reasons for leaving the media speechless are more than that. At the same time in another game, the North London Derby battle, Chelsea lost 0: 1 to the rival Fulham.

This is a battle of focus, and Chelsea's loss is bound to be controversial. Chelsea seems to have a natural aura of ridicule. Mourinho can always find an excuse to lose.

The Champions League lost to Barcelona, ​​coach Mourinho sneered at the red card Horno received, "They blacked us twice in two years", the Portuguese "mouthed" can be understood as both Barcelona and referee.

Now losing to Fulham, Mourinho did not comment on Garras ’red card, but Drogba was blown away with a goal, so the Portuguese again said," I can play a guarantee for you, the assistant referee I did n’t see clearly. I did n’t see the handball on the sidelines, nor did he see it, because he did n’t raise the flag for the first time. After the goal, Fulham players rushed to the referee to press, the reason why the referee judged that way was not because he saw It was because he was under pressure. "

Mourinho slyly avoided the focus of Drogba's handball and put people's attention to the referee.

Manchester City defeated Charlton by a strong margin, increasing the points advantage to 5 points, and the pressure on Wan Sheng suddenly diminished, so he also had the mood to say a few words, "The referee seems to have become Chelsea's natural enemy, as long as there is a penalty against Chelsea. , Fouls, red cards, or goals were cancelled, you can always hear him (Morino) dissatisfied. But there are many penalties against Manchester City, we never say much. "

"Perhaps this is his (Mourinho) strategy, he wants people to turn their attention, not the reason why Chelsea loses, then everything is because of the referee, it is because of other external reasons."

In the end, Wan Sheng ridiculed, "If we finally get the league title, maybe he (Mourinho) will say, 'It's the referee who decides where the title belongs'. The British Referees Association should be honored because they have the ability to decide the season champion. ! "

Wan Sheng ’s words reached Mourinho ’s ears, making the Portuguese black, and he said, “He ’s not qualified to point fingers at our game.”

"The league is far from over, he is happy now too early!"

This is a reminder of Wan Sheng, of course, ironically, but Wan Sheng doesn't care, "He wants to say that Chelsea still has a chance? Then I let him know how Chelsea has no chance!" His words were powerful, letting The Manchester City media are all excited to listen.

This is almost equivalent to a champion declaration!

So everyone focused on the 32nd round of the league, Chelsea vs. Manchester City.

"This is also Chelsea's chance!" The Times analyzed, "If Chelsea can win this game, they are very likely to catch up with Manchester City, but if it is a tie, or even lose, their chances will become Very slim, because it's hard to expect Manchester City to make several consecutive mistakes ... "

This is completely different from the previous voice.

Before the match between Manchester City and Charlton, many media believe that Manchester City's performance will decline, but now they think that Manchester City will stabilize the performance, after all, the strength is there.

This is the impact of an absolute victory.

The neutral media saw the strength of Manchester City, so they turned their backs and supported Manchester City with more advantages. As for how strong and strong Chelsea ... This sentence said for a whole season, the result is still not the top of the list. Still Manchester City?

As for the game between Chelsea and Manchester City, many people still look forward to it.

Chelsea will definitely go all out in order to win the championship. Their advantage is still obvious, because they are at home, but the last time the two teams played against each other, Manchester City won 3: 2, and the battle is still people. The memory is still fresh, and Manchester City has also shown extraordinary strength, so it is not easy to say who wins and who loses, but the game is certainly unquestionable.

Before the war, the 31st round of the league will go through. This round of Chelsea will play first. ~ Www.novelhall.com ~ Unexpectedly, Birmingham, who is at home, drew Chelsea 0: 0.

This result is quite surprising!

Many people have said that Manchester City will make mistakes at the end of the league. There are many reasons, such as their lineup, bench depth, injury or simply no history, but no one thought that the first mistake was Chelsea. After losing in the same city to the rival Fulham, they drew Birmingham away and only got one league point.

In this game, Chelsea attacked a whole game, and it was difficult to break the funnel defense of Birmingham who lost 12 goals in the last 3 games.

As the "Sun" ironically said, "Birmingham's previous goal loss may have been prepared for this solid defense ..." Of course, this is only a mockery, but the Chelsea draw is real. .

Soon Manchester City's game was over, they won Middlesbrough 1: 0 at home and scored 3 points again.

After this round, relying on Chelsea's mistakes, Manchester City's lead has expanded to 7 points. (To be continued.)
