Chapter 759 Waiting For A Miracle
On February 2th, there are two days left before Manchester City face Manchester United to win the championship.
But today, one thing is just as important for Manchester City.
The UEFA Champions League quarter-final draw ceremony began today at UEFA headquarters.
The Manchester City players who had finished training deliberately stayed and watched the draw ceremony at the base with the coaching staff, and discussed which team they hoped to meet by the way.
But before that, let's look at the eight teams that have advanced.
In addition to Manchester City, which defeated Dynamo Kiev and advanced, the other seven clubs are.
Wolfsburg in Ghent were eliminated.
Real Madrid eliminated Leverkusen.
Paris Saint-Germain defeated Chelsea after the coaching change.
After two bloody battles, Barcelona won Bayern.
Kicked the Gunners Arsenal back home Juventus.
Atletico Madrid easily won PSV Eindhoven.
Eliminated Benfica at Zenit St. Petersburg.
Among these teams, there are two clubs that are easy to deal with on the surface, Wolfsburg and Benfica.
The remaining strong teams naturally hope to meet these two teams first, so that they can relax.
However, the domestic cup was eliminated, and Manchester City, which has no pressure in the league, is not included.
As long as they win Manchester United in the next game, they can devote all their energy to fighting in the Champions League. This is not good news for all the competing teams in the Champions League.
A Manchester City without any worries is destined to be a nightmare for all clubs.
The draw began, and the first group of opponents to be drawn was the La Liga civil war.
Barcelona drew Atletico Madrid. This game is not only a civil war with the league, but also a super collision between the first in La Liga and the second in La Liga.
It has to be said that the two teams competing for each other in the league have played the top battle in the Champions League, which is also very interesting.
In the second group, the lucky Real Madrid drew Benfica. Even though Benfica performed well in the Portuguese Super League this season, no one thinks that they can beat Real Madrid who are getting better and better.
In the third group, Manchester City was drawn out, and the opponent was Paris.
After meeting in the group stage in the 13/14 season, two European super-rich teams met in the Champions League once.
However, compared to Paris, which can only show off in Ligue [-] after spending money, Manchester City, which has acquired Yang Mo, has become the real European overlord.
In the competition between the two local tyrants for Yang Mo back then, Manchester City's final victory also seemed to herald the subsequent rise.
The most important thing is that under the leadership of Yang Mo, Manchester City has gradually retreated from the name of local tyrants and has become the name of a strong team.
On the contrary, Paris continues to spend money every season, pursuing better results in the European war.
After the first three groups are drawn, the remaining two clubs automatically become opponents.
Juventus played against Bayer Leverkusen. I don’t know why. The Serie A overlord and the Bundesliga powerhouse have a feeling of instability. It can only be said that Serie A has declined too much.
After the draw for the quarter-finals was released, the British media temporarily put aside the news of Manchester City's early victory, and began to help Manchester City wave the flag in the Champions League, analyze the pros and cons, and suggest tactics.
The reason for this is that in the quarter-finals of this year's Champions League, only Manchester City is left in the Premier League.
The British media, which once turned the semi-finals of the Champions League into a civil war in the Premier League and claimed that the Premier League is the world's number one league, find it hard to accept that the Premier League team is so decadent.
Especially the few giants other than Manchester City that have been sluggish this season have been criticized by the elites on Fleet Street.
The most uncomfortable thing is that La Liga, which is a direct competitor of the world's No. [-] league, actually occupies three places in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
Therefore, the British media collectively cheer for Manchester City, hoping that Manchester City will return to the top of Europe under the leadership of Yang Mo.
At that time, the British media will be able to proudly say that it is useless for you to have more top eight teams, and the Premier League will win the championship in the end.
The media climaxed, but the Manchester City team seemed quite calm.
Who doesn't know what kind of piss these media are, and now they are shouting loudly. If they are really eliminated, it is estimated that these guys will be the most ridiculed.
It is certainly not a good draw to draw Paris, but for Manchester City at this time, the most important thing is the Manchester derby two days later.
Whether it can create a miracle and win the championship eight rounds ahead of schedule, and whether it can free up its hands to deal with the Champions League with all its strength depends on this game.
The morale of Manchester City is high, and the fans have already shouted the slogan of winning the championship early and creating miracles.
As Manchester City's opponents, Manchester United fans certainly don't want to see the fans of their rivals in the same city be so arrogant.
For a while, fans of the two teams belonging to the same city started a "fight" outside the arena without waiting for the game to start.
According to incomplete statistics from the Manchester police, more than [-] brawls broke out between Manchester City and Manchester United fans a week before the match.
This was still counted by the police, and there were countless frictions and quarrels that were not counted.
However, compared with the situation where the fans are facing the situation of Maimang, the outside world's views on this game are surprisingly consistent.
That is, the chances of Manchester United getting out unscathed at the Etihad Stadium are very small.
Whether it is authoritative media, industry experts, or team celebrities, they all believe that Manchester City has a higher chance of winning.
It's not that everyone has any opinions on the Red Devils Manchester United, it's completely that Manchester United is not up to date.
Just after the half-time, Manchester United ranked fourth in the league and firmly in the Champions League. After entering the second half of the league, it became more and more unstable.
The form is good, you can win Chelsea, you can beat Liverpool, and you can reverse Arsenal, which is third in the standings, with three goals.
The state is not good, can lose Annampton, can lose Norwich, can be tied by West Ham United in the FA Cup at home, and even lost directly to the bottom of the last round Aston Villa.
Van Gaal's nerve knife-like record directly led Manchester United from fourth to seventh in the standings.
If things go on like this, let alone the Champions League, even the Europa League is out of the question.
The Manchester United fans were not convinced, but to be honest, they were not confident in their hearts. They grinned at the Manchester City fans, but they were just stern.
But even the Red Devils fans still couldn't accept the loss of their team's fall from the peak in a short period of time.
2 month 20 day.
The Etihad Stadium was overcrowded, and the extended stands were full.
Since Yang Mo's return this season and Manchester City's winning streak in the league, the Ittihad is full and hard to find a ticket, and season ticket sales continue to break historical records.
Many fans who came from China and wanted to watch a Yang Mo game had to pay high prices to buy tickets from scalpers.
Although Yang Mo has repeatedly appealed on social media not to spend too much to watch the game, but the effect is very little, and it is completely unable to stop the enthusiasm of the fans.
After all, the huge poster he hung outside the Etihad Stadium was too much for the fans to hold on to, and it was more attractive than beautiful women.
In the eyes of everyone, the Manchester United bus drove into the stadium, and the 31st round of the Premier League was about to start.
The difference from the first half is that, compared to the significance of the Manchester derby itself, everyone in this league is more concerned about whether Manchester City can win the championship in advance.
Everyone is waiting for a miracle to appear.
