Chapter 749: The competition for a seat in the Champions Cup is still fierce

(Haha~~~ Thanks to the brothers for the tip~~)

In this relaxed atmosphere, the Premier League ushered in the penultimate round of competition, but this is only relative to Manchester City and those teams who have no desire. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the first six leagues, in addition to Manchester City and Manchester United, the remaining four teams cannot be taken lightly, and even have to fight hard, which is related to Champions League qualification.

What is a giant, heritage, results and even whether you can participate in the Champions League are all counted as one of them, and the Champions League not only represents fame, but also real income.

From second to sixth place, they are Tottenham, Newcastle United, Arsenal and Chelsea, the highest points between the four teams are Tottenham and Newcastle United, both teams have 65 points, Arsenal has 63 points, Chelsea has even less, only 61 points, but there are two rounds left in the league, and all four teams still have a chance.

'We should have a competitive spirit and give it our all against any opponent no matter what we face,' said how could the club vying for a Champions League place sit still and be the first to stand out was Chelsea, who were in sixth place.

Di Matteo's words are obviously said to Manchester City and Van Basten, after all, in the top six, Newcastle United's opponents are strong teams, but both teams are almost desireless.

Although Di Matteo also knows that he will not be able to stay at Chelsea next season, but even so, he wants to leave with dignity rather than be swept away, so the Champions League is his last face.

"A true champion team is one who will give it their all against any opponent," coincidentally, after Di Matteo's remarks, the manager of another big club in London also spoke.

Unlike the Manchester duo who dominate the top two in the league, the London duo have been in an awkward position this season, with Chelsea struggling to beat the year after Jose Mourinho's departure and Arsenal remaining half-dead and a top-four spot in jeopardy.

On the contrary, the other time the team in London has risen very rapidly, under the leadership of Bale and Modric, Tottenham Hotspur is the most stable position among the previous **** teams, and the opponents in the remaining two rounds are not strong.

As for Newcastle United, this season has been a dark horse, if it weren't for Manchester City, Newcastle United would definitely be the team with the most momentum this season, unbeaten at the beginning of the season to a crazy seven consecutive wins at the end of the season, Newcastle United is the best team outside Manchester City this season.

Of course, there are also some media outlets who believe that Newcastle United are the best team in the league, mainly because of the recruitment of the two teams last summer, and Newcastle United spent only a tenth of Manchester City's transfer fee.

Faced with the question of the two managers of Chelsea and Arsenal, the reporter naturally did not miss the opportunity to find Van Basten, to which Van Basten replied that the fans of Arsenal and Chelsea shouted that the Dutchman is a good man: "Of course, no matter what opponent, we will give it our all. ”

However, when the game began to see Manchester City's actual players, fans on both sides of Arsenal and Chelsea cursed at the same time, and even the respective managers of the players scolded Van Basten for being shameless.

Just look at the players on the Manchester City bench at the moment, Li Feng, Silva, Sergio Aguero, Dzeko, Yaya Toure, De Jong and Joe Hart and Boateng are all on the bench.

Goalkeeper Pantilimon, who was making his first appearance this season, was lined up at full-back with Clichy and Zabaleta, centre-back with Kolo Toure and Lescott, captain Vincent Kompany at the back, Minard and Barry in front of Kompany, and Kolarov, Balotelli and Adam Johnson up front.

"This~~~ I can only say that Van Basten has done it too thoroughly" Seeing this lineup of Manchester City, even the commentator didn't know what to say.

After all, Van Basten swore in an interview that his team would go all out, but now, this lineup can be said to be the complete opposite of going all out.

Of course, with the situation of Manchester City, Van Basten can't be overstated, but Van Basten can also make Arsenal and Chelsea miserable.

But football games are often full of surprises, although Manchester City is almost all substitutes, but that does not mean that Manchester City must lose in this game, and the final result is indeed beyond everyone's expectations.

Perhaps seeing the relationship between Manchester City's lineup gave Newcastle United a psychological hint that Manchester City did not go all out in this game, and at the same time, at the same time, the Newcastle United players themselves also had a feeling of contempt in their hearts.

So after the opening, Newcastle United's attack was a little careless, and Manchester City took advantage of their chances, scoring just six minutes into the game.

Minar drew the defence down the middle, Kolarov broke through easily and crossed, the two Newcastle United centre-backs lost concentration, and Balotelli won the ball near the penalty spot and slotted home with a single push.

At the moment of Balotelli's goal, Newcastle United fans were still a little unresponsive, because Manchester City's goal came too easily, too easily.

At the same time, Newcastle United manager Pardew rushed out of the bench at the speed of the 100-meter sprint, and there was a roar of anger at the Newcastle United players.

Fans may not have seen it, but as the team's manager, Pardew couldn't have failed to see that the main responsibility for the goal was himself and not Manchester City.

However, sometimes, when a big mistake is made, there is no chance of recovery, let alone Manchester City's substitutes, are they really weak? You know, even if it is Manchester City's substitute lineup, it is a quasi-giant, and even Newcastle United can definitely play the main team.

It's not a good thing to be anxious, just like Newcastle United at the moment, the score is behind, the manager is furious, and Newcastle United, who have started again, have begun to concentrate.

However, they found that even if they concentrated, they still could not gain any advantage, and even almost extended the score by Manchester City.

In the 27th minute, Adam Johnson counterattacked and received a pass and burst into the penalty area, if it weren't for the England winger who was too lonely and chose to force his own shot instead of passing, perhaps, the score would have been 2:0 at this moment.

Even so, City doubled their advantage before half-time when captain Vincent Kompany scored from a corner in two consecutive games, only this time with kicks rather than overheads.

Lescott's header was blocked by Krul and landed just in front of Kompany, who doubled City's lead with a light bucket.

At the beginning of the second half, Pardew made a series of adjustments, but today's luck was not destined to be on Newcastle United's side, although he created a few good chances, but he was always close to the goal, and even allowed Balotelli to complete a brace, and finally Manchester City won 3-0 on his own home turf.
