Chapter 1116: The Champions League group stage is over

In the 15th round of the league, Manchester City were unexpectedly held to a draw by Stoke City, and their lead over Manchester United changed from eight points to six.

However, in the 16th round, Manchester City quickly recovered to normal, beating Bolton Wanderers 2-0 at home.

Manchester United's away game against Blackpool has been postponed to January 25, so Manchester United still have 31 points with a game less, and their place in the league has also been replaced by Arsenal, who beat Fulham 2-1 at home, and they temporarily surpassed Manchester United's 31 points with 32 points to become second.

Chelsea continued their winless run as they were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Everton and finished fourth with 30 points.

Manchester City lead the league table with 40 points.

They look like they're eight points ahead of Arsenal.

But a crisis is also brewing.

Manchester City travel to FC Twente on 7 December, but apart from Glory, Hart and Ibrahimovic, the rest of the main players Benitez did not take to the Netherlands.

The purpose is that there is no need to waste everyone's body for such a meaningless game.

Glory will never accept rotation, so you have to take it. And Ibrahimovic probably won't rotate and rest himself when the glory is not rotated, so he will take it with him.

Milan's media were unhappy with Manchester City's approach, believing that Benitez was deliberately letting go of water.

But Benitez ignored all such criticisms.

Of course, he doesn't have to let his team fight to the death for the sake of other teams.

As for whether this behavior is a release of water, let UEFA decide.

If UEFA thinks they're releasing water, he's admitting it. Before UEFA speaks out, what qualifications do journalists have to decide whether Manchester City is letting go of water by doing so?

Inter Milan now have seven points in the group stage, two points ahead of FC Twente, and look safe, but they are still worried about something.

If Manchester City lose away to FC Twente, FC Twente's points will become eight.

If Inter lose again to Werder Bremen......

Of course, this possibility is very, very small.

However, football is round, so anything is possible.

※※※

It's just a possibility!

Inter Milan, who challenged Werder Bremen away, was scored by Werder Bremen's defender Pledel in the 39th minute of the game!

Werder Bremen takes the lead!

At this time, Manchester City played a 1-1 draw with FC Twente away from home.

Despite this, Inter Milan are still one point ahead of FC Twente, but who knows what will happen next?

The first half was over, and the scores of the two games remained unchanged.

At the start of the second half, there was good news from the De Gerolsch Stadium, home of FC Twente, that Glory had scored!

He helped Manchester City lead Twente 2-1!

As long as FC Twente loses, no matter what Inter Milan achieves and what the result is, Inter Milan will qualify as the second in the group.

The commentator on Italian television praised Rong Guang as a player with a high work ethic......

However, before the news could reach the pitch, Inter Milan conceded a goal.

Just two minutes after Glory's goal, Werder Bremen striker Marco Arnotovic received Almeida's pass and scored to make the score 2:0!

The Italian commentators were speechless - Glory has worked hard, but are you really going to rely on someone else's family to advance?

If you don't fight yourself, what right do you have to ask others not to release water?

And it's not just that the score is behind, Inter Milan is also at an all-round disadvantage on the field, and it is not too much to say that they are being pressed by Werder Bremen.

Such a table really makes people have no confidence that Inter Milan can equalize, or even win against their opponents.

In the 56th minute, the tenacious Twente equalized again, 2:2!

It seems that Twente really fought hard to qualify for the group.

Against such a menacing team, there really is no need for Manchester City to fight them, even if they don't play to their best, no one can blame them.

However, three minutes later, Manchester City gave Twente another blow, or Glory gave them a blow.

Glory scored twice to give City a third lead.

He also scored his eighth goal of the season in the Champions League.

In the face of such an inconsequential game, Rongguang still worked hard.

But he didn't play for Inter, he didn't know what Inter Milan was like, and he didn't care if Inter could break into the round of 16.

He scored just because he wanted to score, he wanted to win.

But Twente did work hard.

Even if they were led for the third time in this game, they didn't give up.

In the 64th minute, young striker Shadley equalized for the third time for FC Twente!

Inside the De Gerolsch Stadium, the cheers and cheers of the FC Twente fans filled the night sky, and the FC Twente fans went crazy with the players, and the atmosphere was impressive.

They now have one thought in their heads, which is to pull Manchester City down, beat Manchester City, and then qualify from this group of death! Replicate what Bordeaux did last season!

They have all heard the news of the other stadium through Guò, Inter Milan are now 2-0 behind Werder Bremen, as long as FC Twente can beat Manchester City, they will definitely qualify!

The rest of the game was already heating up, with FC Twente's players scrambling more and more, risking injury for a ball with little chance.

But Manchester City doesn't have to fight with them, so there are some balls, and they can give up.

※※※

At Weser Stadium, Leonardo's brow was always furrowed, and he was also watching the situation on Twente's side, if Manchester City really lost to Twente...... I'm afraid I'll have to resign after this game......

If he didn't resign, I'm afraid he would have received the news of being fired by the club before he arrived at the airport.

And for the current situation of Inter Milan on the field, Leonardo is also helpless.

After Inter Milan won the treble, it seems that the whole team has lost motivation and fighting spirit, and there seems to be nothing in this world that can still arouse their morale.

Thinking of this, Leonardo lowered his head, he felt that he might have made a mistake by agreeing to coach this team in the first place......

※※※

Twente worked hard, but their luck wasn't good.

They bombarded City's half-court in the final moments, but they just couldn't score.

The post-match technical stats show that FC Twente had sixteen shots on goal, eight on target and eight off target. Many of the eight shots that were off target came in the final moments of the game...... They were in too much of a hurry.

Benitez, for his part, began to make substitutions to stall for a while.

He replaced Ibrahimovic but left the glory on the pitch, which made Ibrahimovic a little unhappy when he came off the pitch.

In addition, Twente also won six corners and committed as many as eleven fouls.

However, they were unable to beat Manchester City until the final whistle blew.

At the other stadium, Inter Milan conceded another goal in the 88th minute, and it was Pizarro who scored.

The few minutes between conceding this goal and the end of the game were the most tormenting moments for Leonardo.

He doesn't care about watching his team play anymore, and he and his colleagues in the coaching staff are all focused on FC Twente.

He also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that there were no goals from Twente's side and that the game was over.

Anyway, I and the team are in a good place......

FC Twente drew with Manchester City on six points, while Inter Milan lost to Werder Bremen but still had seven points to finish second in the group by one point.

It's really a group of death......

At this time, Leonardo felt that his back was already full of sweat.

He also lost his strength and sat down in his chair, not relieving himself for a long time.

Of course, he can expect that even if he qualifies from the group, there will be all kinds of scolding when he returns to China, but after the group qualifys, he still has a chance to prove himself again.

As long as you live, you have a chance.

So being alive is more important than anything else.

Didn't Jose Mourinho's Inter Milan face Barcelona in the group stage last season?

But what happened in the end? Inter Milan became Champions League winners!

So, just give yourself a chance, give yourself time, pinch this team, and completely control this team......

Although Manchester City did not beat Twente in the end, I believe that anyone who watched this game could not say that Manchester City let go of the water, and Glory scored twice in the game, and Manchester City led three times and were equalized three times. If this is really released, how can it be so difficult?

After the game, the team flew back to Manchester to prepare for the 17th round of the league, when Manchester City played West Ham United.

At this time, the lawsuit between Manchester City Club and the Chinese Football Association was also hot.

The Chinese Football Association hopes that Manchester City can let Rongguang report to the national team on December 15, which means that Rongguang will have to leave after playing against West Ham United, and then return to Manchester City after mid-January next year.

The reason why the Chinese Football Association did this is because Rongguang is the most important player in the Chinese team now, and they hope that Rongguang and the national team can train together more and cultivate a tacit understanding, which can ensure the team's combat effectiveness in the Asian Cup.

But Manchester City don't do it.

Why should Rongguang return to the national team so early?

Have you ever given Rong Guang a penny from the Chinese Football Association?

The salary is paid by our club, and when you want someone, your Football Association just calls it, right?

It stands to reason that he should have given priority to the club!

Manchester City have absolutely no intention of returning to glory so early.
