With two days to go until the match against Arsenal, it was a very, very important game for Manchester City, even surpassing the Manchester derby in the 36th round of the league.

As Glory said to Kaka on the phone, Manchester City's game against Arsenal was worth six points.

And if Manchester City are to qualify for the Champions League this season, then Arsenal are the only opponents they can threaten.

Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool are all too high on the points for Manchester City to catch up with them unless they all lose, but how is that possible? The difficulty is simply countless times higher than Manchester City's total victory.

Only Arsenal, seven points behind them, are City's only realistic targets.

So before this game, Manchester City had a lot of training intensity.

But everyone can clearly feel that Rongguang's training attitude is more serious and harder than before, and the fire of his fighting spirit has suddenly burst out in the past two days, burning outside his body, and everyone can clearly feel it.

No one knows why Glory is suddenly so scrappy.

Is it just because it's a direct conversation with the fourth in the league?

Of course, City's team-mates would not have known that the fighting spirit of Glory was only ignited after a phone call with a cartoon.

Kaka actually said that Manchester City was destined not to play in the Champions League, and he wanted to prove it to him this time!

Next season, Manchester City can definitely appear in the Champions League, the highest stage in European football!

Rongguang was very unhappy that others questioned his choice.

This kind of unhappiness has been there since he decided to join Manchester City in the first place, and it is like his reversal. Anyone who touches it will make Glory furious.

For those who once stood at the pinnacle of world football, it is unacceptable to be considered to be willing to fall.

As the game approached, there was a feeling of being a big enemy on Arsenal's side.

Arsene Wenger was very solemn in his pre-match press conference: "Arsenal will give it their all in the game. ”

Some media complained that just looking at Wenger's expression would make people feel that Arsenal was the underdog at the bottom of the rankings......

But in fact Wenger is so cautious and justified.

City's momentum is being felt by everyone, especially against teams who are at the top of the league.

Think about Chelsea and Aston Villa before them, how did they both lose to Manchester City?

Especially the closest to Arsenal's game, Chelsea's home game against Manchester City.

At that time, Chelsea were playing at home, but they were shrinking their defence, and it looked like they were winning with just one point.

Such a gesture surprised everyone at the time. I think Hiddink is making too much of a fuss.

But when the game was over, the vast majority understood why Hiddink was going the way he did.

Such a stubborn defense could not prevent Manchester City from winning, let alone if Chelsea had relied on home advantage to open up a fight with Manchester City, I am afraid that they would lose even worse.

With this game as a reference, you can understand why Wenger is so cautious.

Arsene Wenger also knows how important this game is, and if Arsenal loses to Manchester City, in addition to giving Manchester City three points, they will also lose three points, and this is six points.

So this game Arsenal must win, must win.

But how to win?

Arsene Wenger has taken a closer look at Chelsea's home game against Manchester City and believes Hiddink made a mistake.

He was so obsessed with stopping City from scoring that he completely gave up his advantage in terms of tactical choices. So is this a success?

Everyone saw the results.

So Wenger doesn't think it's working.

You still have to give full play to your strengths, otherwise you will fall into the rhythm of the other party.

This is a big taboo.

Arsenal are not good at defending to the death, so if Arsenal were asked to learn from Chelsea, they would only die even worse.

It's better to play attacking football and play against Manchester City, and under your own home conditions, you may not lose to Manchester City.

Arsene Wenger is still quite confident in his team's attacking power.

Before the game, Rong Guang was interviewed, and a reporter asked him what he thought about the next crucial battle.

Speaking to the cameras and microphones of reporters, he said: "Arsenal are a strong team, but we are definitely going to qualify for the Champions League next season. ”

The reporters didn't expect Rongguang to answer like this, and this answer didn't sound particularly polite...... Somewhat aggressive.

A reporter confirmed: "Is it gone?" ”

They thought Glory would explain what he had said a little.

But the glorious ones have no meaning to explain.

He nodded and said very simply, "No." ”

"The London media say you don't respect your opponent very much......" In the North London hotel, Rong Guang is talking to Debora on the phone, and Debora tells him about the media's reaction to his remarks on the phone. How to treat the media has always been something that Debora cares about, because a player's image in front of the media is directly related to his commercial value.

"Really? I didn't say that to them. Rong Guang said.

"Of course, I know, you're talking about Kaka. But you're dealing with the media in North London. Debora said.

"Then I don't care, they can think whatever they like." Rongguang's tone is not very good, and he is too lazy to explain so much.

Of course, he wasn't angry with Debola, he was angry with Kaka.

He was full of anger now, and he wanted to vent it, so he naturally didn't care about the tone of his speech.

Hey, someone, do you hear that?

I will definitely be back in the Champions League!

"Some media in England have criticized Wing for not having much respect for his opponents...... In fact, this is not the first time Rong has been criticized like this. When he was still at Bayern Munich, he faced Roma in the Champions League, and in his pre-match interview, he made a similar statement, skipping the opponent he is now facing and declaring that he is aiming for the Champions League title...... This caused an uproar at the time and was considered a great disrespect to the opponent......"

Although Rong Guang is not a player who plays in Serie A, as one of the top players in Europe at the moment, he is also the subject of European media attention, and his words and deeds are the subject of European media coverage. So in Italy, too, you can often see news about glory.

Kaka looked at the glory on the TV screen, his face expressionless.

Is this glory looking down on Arsenal?

He wouldn't think so.

He knew very well who Glory was talking to.

Myself.

Yes, that is, for yourself.

Because he questioned Manchester City's inability to qualify for next season's Champions League on the phone.

He wanted to prove it to himself.

Then he had to lead the team to beat Arsenal first.

But Kaka doesn't think City can win this game.

Although after Thierry Henry's departure, Arsenal's victories inevitably dropped a lot.

But in the final sprint to the league, Arsenal are like a mother beast guarding their nest and cubs in order to compete for fourth place in the league.

It's very difficult to beat.

Kaka is well aware that Glory is completely ignorant of the common sense of football that even ordinary fans know, so he must not know how Arsenal at this time is different from Arsenal in peacetime.

That's why he's so confident......

If Manchester City are unable to beat Arsenal, it would essentially be a failure of their strategy to fight for a top-four finish in the league.

He snorted, since Rongguang wanted to prove to himself that he could play in the Champions League, then he had to take a good look at this game and see how he beat the crazy Arsenal......

Arsenal's home game against Manchester City was the highlight of the tournament, with the Emirates Stadium packed to capacity, and the media covering the game from around the world once again underlined the Premier League's appeal as the world's number one league – even a race for fourth place in the league was so much in the spotlight......

While fans and media reporters have filled the stands at the Emirates Stadium, Arsene Wenger is making the final pre-match mobilisation of his players in the Arsenal dressing room.

'Everyone knows what Champions League qualification means to us. I don't think I need to say much about that. Every season in the past, no matter how bad we played before – which is bad, but now is not the time to talk about it – we have always finished fourth in the league and qualified for next season's Champions League...... Every time we fight for the top four in the league, we always have a lot of difficulties. Today's game against Manchester City was one of so many difficulties, and if we were able to solve them one by one, why should Manchester City be an exception? ”

Arsene Wenger looked at his players with a stern expression.

But because of his appearance, he is actually a little funny.

Because Wenger looks a bit like the famous comedy character "Bean......

But none of the Arsenal players would laugh at the look and looks of their bosses.

Because Arsene Wenger is right, they now face a crisis.

If by the end of the season, the team has not qualified for next season's Champions League, it will be absolutely the end of the world for the team. The team will receive less money, making it even more difficult for Arsenal's board, which was already on a diet to pay off the bank loan owed to build the Emirates stadium.

That's something that no one wants to see.

For the sake of their prize money next season, they should also try to win this game.

'We are fourth at the moment, and Manchester City are two places behind us. The initiative is in our hands, remember that. Play our football and the victory will be ours! ”

Wenger slapped hard to boost morale.

And the players are also looking scrappy, vowing to give the ambitious Manchester City a blow on their home turf!

Arsene Wenger was pleased with the fighting spirit of his players and signalled for them to be available.
