The Champions League draw is over, the league is going on, and it won't be delayed because of the tangled mentality of Manchester City fans.

On March 21, in the 31st round of the league, Manchester City challenged Fulham away.

This is an ordinary league, even if it is placed in the current round, it is inconspicuous.

But the game still attracted a lot of journalists, and in terms of the number of reporters who went to report on the scene, the game attracted the second highest number of reporters in the entire round of the league, behind Manchester United's home "English national derby" against Liverpool.

Why are so many people following this game?

The match between Manchester United and Liverpool is easy to say, the two teams have been entangled in feuds for a century, and this is the top derby match in the English league, which is equivalent to England's Real Madrid against Barcelona.

Manchester City and Fulham have not had any animosity before, and there is no story worth telling in the history of the two teams' encounters.

Why are so many people paying attention?

Because this is the first game of the "Manchester City Collapse Period" that everyone tacitly believes in their hearts.

Manchester City travel to Fulham.

Everyone wants to see what Manchester City will come up with in this game.

They can speculate on what City will do next.

At the same time, the occurrence of this game may have an immeasurable impact on all the next Manchester City games.

With Manchester United's match against Liverpool fresh off before Manchester City's away game at Fulham, all of England can now have their eyes on Fulham's Craven Cottage.

The result of the match between Manchester United and Liverpool was that Manchester United beat Liverpool 2-1 at home.

Manchester United are now on 69 points, three points behind second-placed Chelsea.

When you look at it, they are very close to Chelsea......

While all eyes are on the league title race between Chelsea and Manchester City, United have quietly caught up.

Liverpool, who finished runners-up last season, have plummeted this season and are now seventh.

Against Fulham, Rafael Benitez made some changes to his starting line-up.

He rotated in a number of positions to make sure all the players were in game shape and that the main players weren't too tired.

Seven games in 22 days, what is needed is to prepare for a rainy day, rather than focusing all the effort on the last game.

With countless pairs of eyes watching, the match between Manchester City and Fulham began.

As soon as the game began, Manchester City turned against the visitors and launched a fierce attack on Fulham's goal.

When it comes to teams like Chelsea, City have the option of counter-attacking defensively because Chelsea are strong. But against Fulham, there is no need for Manchester City to defend and counter-attack, and even if they want to, they can't play because it is the opponent who defends and counter-attacks, not them.

They have to be pressed.

The first fifteen minutes of the game were relatively uneventful, with City having the upper hand, but there weren't many absolutely good scoring chances.

Fifteen minutes later, City picked up the tempo of the game, both offensively and defensively, and gave Fulham players much less space and time.

In such a situation, City's chances began to increase.

In the 33rd minute, Manchester City cut off Fulham's ball after a series of pressing in midfield, and then launched an attack.

Berbatov flicked Zabalet's cross to the back post, and the glory of outflanking at the back post leaped to the top of the net, and the football went into the net!

"The ball is in! Manchester City lead Fulham 1-0 away! The goal is Rong! ”

After the goal, Rong Rong hugged and celebrated with his teammates, and the camera took the time to give a shot of the Manchester City fans in the stands, and the Manchester City fans who followed the team to the away stadium also sang and danced in the stands.

"As long as there is Rong, Manchester City fans can put half of their hearts at ease!" Alan Hansen said. "Whether Manchester City can get past the devil's schedule during this period of time, Rong is also a very important figure......

The telecast immediately gave Rongguang a close-up.

Yes, whether Manchester City want to win the league or get past Barcelona, glory is crucial.

His form and form directly determine City's final results this season.

The most nervous during this period should be Benitez, on the one hand, he wants Rongguang to be good, and on the other hand, he has to be wary of the possibility of Rongguang's injury. After all, the competition is too intensive, and Glory is the core of the team, and the possibility of being violated in the game is very high.

So even though City had taken the lead, Rafael Benitez was still standing on the sidelines, keeping an eye on the pitch.

On the one hand, he cares about the score, and on the other hand, he cares about the glory.

During this time, Glory must not be injured!

Also staring at glory is Sun Fengyang on the bench of the away team at Craven Cottage.

As Glory's personal therapist, Glory's health is his goal.

The last time Glory was seriously injured, he was scolded by his grandfather for being a bloody dog.

Since then, he has never dared to let any accidents happen to Glory.

Glory is in good form, and there will be no fewer fouls against him.

In fact, there is a number of statistics in the Premier League right now, and Glory is the most violated of all Premier League players.

After this number came out, it was very surprising, because although everyone knew that Glory was always violated, they didn't expect that he could be proud of the number of violations.

Because the number of violations is the most in the Premier League, Sun Fengyang also pays special attention.

After every game, he has to give Rongguang a massage, and Manchester City also know what Son Bongyang means to Rongguang, and what a healthy Rongguang means to Manchester City.

So they signed a contract with Sun Fengyang to make him a member of Manchester City's coaching staff, but in fact he did not listen to anyone's arrangement, even the head coach Benitez did not have the right to let Sun Fengyang do work that was not within his scope of work.

So what is a job within the scope of his work?

It is to ensure that Rongguang will not have serious injuries in high-intensity games and training for a long time.

To put it simply, it is to let Glory try to appear in the starting list alive every game.

Because Rongguang had to be massaged after every game, Sun Fengyang entered the coach's seat for convenience. Only those who have entered the dugout will be able to be present in the dugout.

Manchester City opened a green channel for Sun Fengyang.

However, given the contribution and importance of glory to the team, there is no objection to such special treatment within Manchester City.

If they are dissatisfied with the skillful massage of Sun Fengyang after every game and every training session, then think about whether their efforts on the training ground are more glorious and whether their contribution in the game is honorable.

Of course, there can't be any, so it's impossible for anyone to feel unbalanced.

Sun Fengyang usually keeps an eye on Rongguang in the race, observing his running posture and judging Rongguang's physical condition from every detail of his every action.

If Rongguang's health is not good, then he will urgently do some relaxing massage at halftime.

Of course, Rongguang himself will also have some precautions.

Since that Yan zhòng's injury, Rongguang now has a strong sense of self-protection.

However, his sense of self-protection does not mean that the ball is open in five-five, and when the opponent rushes up, he jumps up to dodge. But in the face of this kind of five-to-five ball, Rongguang will increase his speed a little more, and strive to shovel the opponent and stab the football away directly.

This is Glory's countermeasure, making himself faster and more agile, so that the opponent can't catch him at all.

So although Rongguang now has a lot of hand violations, and often falls on the court to change two sets of jerseys for a game, but in fact, Rongguang is not hurt much, many times Rongguang is to avoid the opponent's fierce defensive actions, and it is not Rongguang who loses his balance and falls to the ground, not Rongguang is shoveled.

In this way, the damage to the body can be minimized.

Despite this, Sun Fengyang did not dare to take it lightly at all.

Injuries will always come the moment you let your guard down.

It would be a shame for him Sun Fengyang to trip over the same stone twice in his life.

※※※

Fortunately, what worried both Sun Fengyang and Benitez did not happen.

Fulham played hard, but Glory was quick enough.

In the second half, Manchester City scored another goal to seal the win 2-0.

Although the goal was not scored by Glory or assisted by Glory, Glory's back-and-forth raids in the front court completely disrupted Fulham's defense and created a scoring opportunity for other Manchester City players.

Fulham only scored a goal in the 90th minute when they took advantage of the slackness of City's players, but it was to no avail.

2:1, Manchester City won this opponent on the road.

They continue to lead Chelsea by four points in the league table.

From this game, neither the media nor the fans saw any signs of Manchester City collapsing, but everyone remained convinced that they would definitely collapse.

After all, the devil's schedule of seven games in 22 days has just begun......

In the next three days, Manchester City will host Everton at home.

It was the only team to beat Manchester City this season.

Manchester City's unbeaten streak for a full year came to an end at the feet of Everton.

In the first league game of the new year, Manchester City lost 2-0 away to David Moyes' Everton.

This game will be a good chance for Manchester City to get revenge, but it is also possible that City will trip over the same stone twice.

Which one will it be?
