future king

20 days ago, Manchester City was 8 points behind Manchester United, and Mancini also said that "there is no way to win the championship."However, the situation in the Premier League is changing. In the past three rounds, Manchester United lost 3 points as if they were taking a nap, while Manchester City won three consecutive victories, and the point difference was instantly reduced to 5 points.Manchester City seems to see hope of regaining lost ground.

If Manchester City wins this Tianwangshan Derby, then the points gap between the two teams will be narrowed to one win. Considering that Manchester City has a 6 goal difference advantage before the game, if Manchester City wins, this advantage will be at least Reaching 8, with only two rounds left in the Premier League, this advantage is tantamount to one more invisible point.

As long as Manchester United makes any mistakes in the last two rounds, Manchester City will hope to win the Premier League title at the last moment.

Before the game, Mancini expressed the hope that Tevez would score a key goal: "I think Tevez is destined to score in this game. This goal will be an important goal that will be recorded in the history of the club. If that's the case, there's no debate over who is the best team in Manchester this season at least. I'm a firm believer in it. It's a much better feeling for a club to beat their neighbors than to beat a foreign team. I've experienced Milan Derby, it will be more satisfying and, importantly, Manchester has two such good clubs."

Prior to this, Mancini has kept a low profile. Even two days ago, he also said through the "Daily Telegraph" that even if Manchester City wins, it will be difficult to win the championship.

But yesterday Mancini suddenly changed his tone. According to the "Daily Mail" report, Mancini talked about the prospects after winning the championship, saying that once he wins the championship, he will rule England for many years: "The important thing is that Manchester City don't just want to win. A champion. I want to leave a legacy. Our goal is to catch up with Manchester United, Barcelona and Real Madrid in the future. My goal is to lead Manchester City to many titles. Manchester City is ready. We will be in Staying among the top clubs for many years, Manchester City next season will be stronger than it is now."

Mancini added: "If we beat Manchester United to win the title, it will be the biggest achievement of my coaching career. Because this is the Premier League title, this is the world's number one league title. As an Italian, winning the Premier League Champion, it's going to be better than anything I've ever done."

If Manchester City can win the title, it will be their first league title since 1968.The opportunity to create a 44-year history of the team is at hand. Mancini said: "The thing that attracts me most about Manchester City is that I can help the club make history."

Balotelli, who has come back from the ban, is considered to be the focus of this game, and most people think that the "bad boy" will play an important role in this game.Mancini was noncommittal: "It's always up to him. In a game, Balotelli can do everything. If he decides, he can score two or three goals."

However, during Balotelli's three-game suspension, Manchester City just won three consecutive victories. Mancini also said that Balotelli will sit on the bench in this game, and Carlos Tevez and Aguero will start.Mancini also said that Tevez will stay at Manchester City: "He has a contract with Manchester City."

Facing the Manchester derby, Silva, the core midfielder, repeatedly mentioned the 1-6 at Old Trafford in the first round of the league between the two sides. According to the "Sun" report, Silva believes that Manchester United will be very afraid of recalling In that 1-6 game, the Spaniard said in an interview: "I don't think Manchester United will be nervous, but they know that we have closed the point difference and beat them 6-1, which will put a lot of pressure on them. The atmosphere (at the Etihad Stadium) is going to be great and all Manchester City fans want us to win the title, especially against our city rivals. Our season ends on the line and we have to win no matter what .”

On the other hand, the Manchester derby is imminent, and Manchester City has a 5-goal difference advantage due to the 6-point difference between the two teams.In the past 3 rounds, Manchester United once expanded its lead to 8 points and seemed a little negligent, allowing Manchester City, which has won 3 consecutive victories, to narrow the point difference again.

The Premier League, which has suddenly raised suspense again, will usher in a Tianwangshan battle.

Manchester City will have to score 3 points in the game in order to win the last hope!

For Manchester United, a cruel fact is: if Manchester City wins, in order to maintain a 2-point advantage in the following games, there will be no loss.

And expand the advantage of goal difference to at least 8 goals.When asked about this, Ancelotti responded in the affirmative: "Yes, I agree, it means a lot to both sides. If one side loses, they have to reflect. If we lose Now, we're going to lose more advantages, yeah I think so."

Ancelotti said that this is a very serious game: "This is everything to the supporters. Whoever loses will feel extremely regretful, because this is Derby. It's going to be the biggest day of their lives. I think our fans will see him as the biggest because we're going to face the most opposing teams. There will be no exceptions, just ask any fan and I'll know What will he say."

The general Evra expressed his concerns about this derby through the "Sun": "We must stop them before them, because they have great potential. When a giant is in the first place, it is during that time that they won the first prize." trophy. Last year they won the FA Cup, if they win the Premier League this year, it will give them more confidence. If they win the title, it will be a new page in their history, it will be revolutionary, for Manchester United It will have a big impact. As a Manchester United player, as a team leader or captain, when you play this kind of game, you have to take responsibility."

Evra believes that the Premier League trophy is the most important trophy: "Whether you ask me or Ryan Giggs, what trophy is the most important, we will answer this (the Premier League champion)."

In the derby, the role of the veteran will be crucial.Before the game, Giggs encouraged the whole team to win this derby: "We can't wait for Monday night's derby. We will not imagine that this is an easy game. For both sides, this is a game. Tough derby. Manchester United and Manchester City are two of the best teams this season, there is no doubt about it. Manchester City are a good team and play at home, but we are Manchester United, we are champions and we are going away Go all out and use the derby to show we deserve the title."

The derby also affects the hearts of old Manchester United people. Before the game, Gary Neville stated in his "Daily Mail" column that the result of this derby will affect three years: "This is the 162nd Manchester derby, but The significance of Monday night's game will be unprecedented. I have been a Manchester United player for 18 years, but I have never seen such an important derby. From one point of view, this derby will determine the ownership of the title, but I think the impact The power is more than that, in my opinion, it is about the two teams' right to speak in Manchester, the right to speak about the Premier League, and the right to speak in English football. Imagine if Manchester City won the championship, the confidence in them and in this The establishment of a city's sense of authority is very important."

Neville recalled the time after losing the championship in the 94-95 season: "I used to think that I would never be able to participate in the championship again. There is nothing worse than regret in my career, so I am lucky and have a lot of experience. My team-mates and the manager are close to me and they tell me we can get back in the title race again. I know that on Monday both clubs will be fighting for three points and the result of that effort will affect the club for three years."

The Etihad Stadium is a veritable home of the devil. Manchester City has only lost 27 points in the past 4 league games at home. In addition, no team in the history of the Premier League can lose 5 or more goals in the first leg. Under the circumstances, the second round was a shameful one.

Judging from the performance of the two teams, Manchester City is also fully worthy of the victory in the Tianwangshan battle. If the Blue Moon players did not feel mediocre in front of the goal, this game may turn into a massacre again.

In the whole game, Manchester United did not have a single shot within the opponent's goal range. Even if the shots blocked by the opponent's defender were counted, Manchester United's shots were only 5 times, while Manchester City's total shots were as high as 15 times.

To make matters worse, Manchester United did not show their kingly spirit at all when they were behind. The "no reversal, no Red Devils" Manchester United did not complete the only shot in the entire second half until the 5th minute of stoppage time. In the case of falling behind, there were no shots in the first 49 minutes of the second half. It was unbelievable. Where did the bloodiness of the Red Devils go?

Ancelotti could only express helplessly after the game: "I am very disappointed that the players failed to create any substantive test for the opposing goalkeeper."

In addition, Manchester United's old midfielder was completely suppressed by Yaya Toure, with a possession rate of 47.4%-52.6%, a success rate of 80.8%-84.0%, and a pass rate of 396-450.** It nakedly exposed the decline of Manchester United on the scene. To put it bluntly, Manchester United was held down by the opponent on the ground for 90 minutes and failed to fight back.

If Manchester United finally loses the championship due to the dismal ending of this game, then this campaign will be even more humiliating to the team than the 1-6 night.Don't forget, this is the third time that the Blue Moon has double-killed Manchester United in the league in the past 196970 years since the 200708 and 40 seasons. Manchester United's undefeated Monday night game since 1998 has passed away.

After this round, Manchester City has 83 points, Manchester United has 85 points, only 2 points advantage, but Manchester City has 8 goal difference. If Manchester United has any problems in the last two rounds, the champion will definitely be replaced by another city. club!

With two rounds left in the league, it is almost a fantasy for Manchester United to smooth out such a goal difference. Manchester United must win a complete victory in the last two rounds.

What's even more frightening is that Manchester City will cultivate a strong self-confidence and psychological advantage as a result, so as to grow into a stronger opponent in the next few years.

Gary Neville said in the column that if Manchester City can win the championship, then the championship will become their unshakable belief.Evra believes that if Manchester City win the league title, they will achieve a revolutionary breakthrough and will be difficult to stop from then on.Mancini also changed his previous low-key and shouted the slogan of "ruling the Premier League for many years".

Of course, these are all assumptions, and don't forget, the competition for the league is not over yet.

Former Manchester City coach Reed, Kendall, and former Manchester United players Paul Ince and Schmeichel all predicted before the game that Manchester City might win the battle but lose the war, because even if they win the derby, the champion will still be Manchester United.

From the current point of view, Manchester City must pass the last two hurdles before they can have the last laugh, but whether it is Newcastle, who is desperate for a place in the Champions League, or Queens Park Rangers, who are desperate for relegation, they are not easy opponents to deal with, especially as a guest. Challenging the home dragon Newcastle, this season's away record is only 9 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses. The probability of Manchester City retreating is not too high. You must know that the home record of the Magpies this season is as high as 11 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses. Nearly 9 The league is unbeaten with 7 wins and 2 draws at home.

Legendary Premier League striker Alan Shearer believes that Manchester City is very likely to lose points on Newcastle.For Manchester City, the only good news is that Newcastle will challenge Chelsea in the middle of the week. In this key battle for the Champions League seat, the Blue Army of Fernando is expected to deal a double blow to the physical fitness and morale of Newcastle players. The difficulty of Manchester City's game at the weekend.

All the premise is based on the fact that Manchester United also made mistakes in the last two rounds, so the key goal scored by Manchester United's No. 9 against Everton is so precious.

This goal completely determined the direction of the final championship, and now the Manchester United media are criticizing the problem of Manchester United's weak attack in the derby. Such problems cannot be borne by Manchester United's No. 9 alone. The loss is not his alone. responsibility!

I don't know when it started, "Park Ji-sung for the big game" became the only magic weapon for Ferguson to defeat the enemy when he played against a strong team.

"Park Sanfei"'s concentration on the game and tireless fighting won him the appreciation and reuse of Ferguson.

Ancelotti made the same choice as his predecessor in this game. Although Park Ji-sung's playing time has plummeted this season and he has not played in 7 consecutive games before this campaign, considering the importance of this Manchester derby, Ancelotti Chelotti still chose to trust Park Ji-sung and let him start in the battle of Tianwangshan, which almost determines the title of the champion.However, history did not repeat itself this time. Park Ji-sung told us with staggering steps: "Park Sanfei" also has a day when he can't run.

The midfield control was unfavorable. In the 58th minute, Ancelotti sent Welbeck to replace Park Ji-sung. This move was tantamount to denying his previous decision, which was equivalent to admitting the failure of the gamble.

Park Ji-sung made only 58 passes in the 17 minutes he played, the fewest among the team's starters except for the goalkeeper.On the defensive end, Park Ji-sung only had 1 successful tackle and 1 clearance.

In the post-match scoring session of "Sky Sports", Park Ji-sung only scored 5 points, tied for the lowest in the team.You must know that before this game, Park Ji-sung has not played in 7 consecutive games, and his last league start dates back to January 1 this year when Manchester United defeated Stoke City 31-2 at home. It's been 0 months!

Another noteworthy is the duel between the two Italian coaches.

1 to 0!In this world-renowned Manchester derby known as "the strongest in history", Manchester City defeated Manchester United with Kompany's header in stoppage time in the first half.

Throughout the game, Manchester United, which was at the forefront of stability, was always suppressed by Manchester City's powerful offensive. The scene was very passive. On the offensive end, Manchester United had only 5 shots and all of them missed. The Red Devils even completed the second half only in stoppage time. The only shot.

The backward situation also made Ancelotti on the sidelines unable to sit still. In the 75th minute, Welbeck was kicked from behind by Manchester City midfielder De Jong, who also came off the bench, in the [-]th minute. The left ankle rolled on the lawn, and his expression was very painful. The referee Marina immediately showed the perpetrator De Jong a yellow card.

At this moment, the rebroadcast camera was suddenly shown on the sidelines, and Ancelotti rushed towards Mancini angrily. Obviously he was angered by some of the Italian's words, because in the eyes of Anshuai, De Jong's feet were far away. Even if the red card is not too much for the flying shovel behind the ground, Mancini does not think so.

Faced with the menacing accusations from his fellow countrymen, Mancini, who was also fiery, refused to show weakness at all. He immediately went forward to fight back face-to-face. Made a "shut up" gesture, but Ancelotti, who seldom exploded, returned the same thing. He made the same gesture to signal Mancini not to make irresponsible remarks on the penalty.

The two people who were in a rage had already presented a confrontation like a sword at the verge of a sword. If the fourth official and the staff of the two teams hadn't stepped up to fight in time, it is still unknown how this conflict would end!

After the game, Ancelotti immediately revealed the reason why he was angry with Mancini: "Mancini has been entangled with the referee, the line referee and the fourth official throughout the game. He has been complaining this week. The referee, but he cannot complain about the correct call."

Mancini, who won the game, hoped to make the conflict trivial. He said in an interview: "I don't remember what the conflict was for. I told the fourth official that it was a foul. Not a complaint. There was a lot of tension at the time, but I've put that behind me now."

Although Ancelotti and Mancini shook hands at the end of the game when the whistle blew, the tension between the two was closed.

In the first round of the Manchester Derby this season, Mancini, who led his team to a 6-1 away victory, gave the fellow a bottle of fine red wine originating in Italy after the game to show his respect.Before the game, Mancini also joked in an interview that he hoped that Ancelotti would "reciprocate", but after this hot conflict, it is estimated that it will be difficult for Mancini to receive the red wine from his hometown.
