Chapter 785 Fighting for the Etihad Stadium

Chapter 139 Fighting for the Etihad Stadium

Manchester City is under a lot of pressure. To be precise, Guardiola is under a lot of pressure!

Six points behind Chelsea in one game less, and also six points behind Manchester United who also lost one game!

The make-up match for this game is placed in the middle of the week, and other Premier League teams basically have no game tasks, so this game in the middle of the week has attracted much attention.

Both Chelsea and Liverpool fans are looking forward to the results they want in this game.

Of course, Chelsea fans hope that Manchester United can win this game. Although this will bring Manchester City closer to the score with the previous two teams, at least Chelsea have tied the top spot because of this, and they can take the initiative on the road to the championship. right now.

If Manchester United wins, the point difference between Chelsea and Manchester United will become three points again. Although Chelsea still have a chance to talk directly with Manchester United, even if Chelsea can win this game, the two sides will only be divided equally. Of course, it is not as good as directly overtaking the score.

Conte's team is in a very good state this season. They are not dragged down by the Champions League. Chelsea, who concentrate on the league, have a very strong fighting capacity.

For Liverpool fans, they still retain a faint hope of winning the championship.

As the second largest club in England, Liverpool has never won the Premier League championship. This is almost the most beneficial weapon for all hostile teams to laugh at Liverpool.

In 2013, Liverpool was infinitely close to the Premier League trophy, but Gerrard's slip caused Liverpool to miss a good game and missed the chance to reach the top of the Premier League.

But for Liverpool, the giants' pursuit of the Premier League title will never stop.

March [-], Manchester, Etihad Stadium.

The confrontation between red and blue is the eternal theme of this city, and this time is no exception.

Around the Etihad Stadium is the world of Manchester City fans, today is their home ground.Facing their rivals in the same city, Manchester City fans came out in full force. Even some Manchester City fans who could not get tickets gathered around the stadium at this time to support their team.

The weather was not too good. It had just rained this morning. At this time, the sky was still gloomy, and the sky was still falling from time to time. Manchester people have long been used to the rainy weather in England.

Guardiola frowned, and he looked up at the gloomy sky.

"Jose, don't worry, it won't rain heavily today." Arteta knew what Guardiola was worried about. "Even if it rains heavily, we don't have to worry about it. The drainage equipment of the stadium is already very good after the renovation."

The Etihad Stadium is the Manchester City Stadium, originally designed for the 2000 Summer Olympics, but Manchester failed to bid.It was later built as a sports venue for the 2002 Commonwealth Games at a cost of £2003 million.Later, it was used for football purposes and became the new home of Manchester City. Manchester City moved from Maine Road to Manchester City Stadium in 250 and signed a [-]-year lease.

After receiving funds from the Arab consortium, Manchester City carried out a renovation of the Etihad Stadium. Many modern stadium equipment were used on this stadium. It can be said that this stadium can be regarded as the most modern in England. One of the pitches.

"Mick, this game is very important." Of course Guardiola knew this, but before the big battle, it was inevitable that he also had to worry about gains and losses.

Arteta joined Guardiola's coaching staff this season and became Guardiola's assistant.The former Arsenal captain was playing for Manchester City at this time and was invested in Guardiola's command.

"We're ready! Jose!"

"You're right, we're ready!"

Guardiola nodded, turned and walked into the locker room, while Arteta immediately greeted the Manchester City players to go out to the stadium to warm up.

Manchester United has also entered the dressing room of the visiting team. The players quickly changed their equipment and prepared to go to the stadium for the final warm-up.

"Quick!! Quick!! Guys!! You only have 10 minutes!!"

Giggs shouted at the door.When he was a player, it was always Ferguson who stood at the door and yelled. When Giggs became a coach, he also unconsciously learned to imitate Ferguson's gestures and even Ferguson's tone.

"Ryan is becoming more and more like an old man," Ashley Yang said to Valencia next to him while changing his shoes.

Now in this Manchester United team, Ferguson doesn’t have many old courtiers left behind. Valencia and Ashley Young can also be regarded as veterans of the four dynasties of Manchester United. Carrick, De Gea, Smalling, Phil Jones and others.

Under the urging of Giggs, the players quickly walked out of the locker room and onto the court.

Manchester United players are still very familiar with this stadium, and they will play at least one game in this stadium every season.

More than 5 players have already gathered in the stadium. These are supporters of Manchester City, while fans of the visiting team can only gather in the corner of the stadium. This is the normal treatment of the visiting team.

The warm-up is over soon, and when the players reappear in the player tunnel, the game will begin soon!

Players from both sides line up to enter the field.

The singing echoes at the Etihad Stadium!

Manchester City fans held up their blue scarves and sang "Blue Moon" in unison. The scene was spectacular.

"Blue Moon" is the team song of Manchester City. This "Blue Moon" is a relatively soothing and soft team song, which is very different from the passionate team songs of many teams.On the field, when many Manchester City fans sing this team song together, there will be unexpected pathos, and there is a different kind of emotion in it.

This soothing song like a sympathy song made the players of Manchester City puff up their chests. Manchester City failed to compete in the Champions League this season, but they also reached the top [-] in the Europa League. After the mobilization of Guardiola before the game , Now Manchester City players are full of confidence!

Li Qingshan was not moved by this slightly sad song, he is music blind, even though he admitted that this song is very nice, but Li Qingshan will not be merciful because of this.

The outcome of a football game is determined by the efforts of 22 players on the field. Li Qingshan does not think that the fans have much influence - he has a big heart and will never be disturbed by away fans.

"In the sixth round of No. 20 of the Premier League, the focus of the match between Manchester City and Manchester United has been moved to today. Manchester City will sit at home against their rivals Manchester United. The result of this game will affect the final outcome of the league to a considerable extent!!" On the commentary , Andy Gray stands ready.
