Of course, for Bayern Munich, it is not completely without good news.

The glory of the city is certainly a huge threat, but Manchester City may not be able to give it their all in this Champions League game.

Because before this Champions League game, Manchester City have a very crucial game to play.

This match is the fifteenth round of the league.

Manchester City host Chelsea.

Manchester City are now first in the league, while Chelsea are second in the league.

The two teams are separated by just one point.

City have played one game less, but that doesn't matter in this direct conversation.

Chelsea don't think a win in this game is meaningless just because they have played one more game than Manchester City.

Similarly, Manchester City will not feel like it doesn't matter if they lose just because they have played one less game than Chelsea.

Manchester City have started the season so well that the Manchester City players have more ambitions. This season they are no longer satisfied with just qualifying for next season's Champions League.

Since we haven't lost a game yet and are in first place, why not think about fighting for the title?

Such ambitions are slowly sprouting in the hearts of Manchester City's players.

Benitez certainly wants to lead the team to the title.

He has been in the Premier League for many years, but he has never won the league title – and even though Liverpool had never won the Premier League title before, Benitez was unable to break that fate.

Now he is eager to make it happen at Manchester City.

It's a battle for first and second place in the league, and most likely for the league title this season.

With 14 rounds of league play, Manchester City have 37 points from one game less, Chelsea with 36 points, followed by third Manchester United with 31 points, five points behind Chelsea and six points behind Manchester City.

This gap is a bit big.

So if nothing else, this season's league title is likely to be won by Manchester City and Chelsea.

Whoever can beat him will have a psychological advantage in the next league title battle.

Both sides take this game very seriously.

As for the final round of the Champions League group stage three days later, the media basically didn't mention it.

The pro-sides media have already begun a war of words.

The Manchester Evening News revealed the 2007 Champions League final, Bayern Munich defeated AC Milan in Athens, Bayern Munich's game was the core of the glory, and AC Milan's coach in that game was Carlo Ancelotti.

The Manchester Evening News used this game mainly to disgust Carlo Ancelotti.

Ancelotti couldn't take glory at the beginning, and now he can't take glory either.

This is really rubbing salt in Ancelotti's wounds.

The London press has been buzzing about Chelsea's all-time record against Manchester City, particularly in the last ten meetings, with Chelsea winning seven games, drawing one and losing just two. From this point of view, Chelsea are in the absolute ascendancy. Among them, Manchester City have lost seven consecutive meetings with Chelsea.

To this, the Manchester Evening News countered: "...... Thanks to the London media for coming up with this number, we can see that before Manchester City had glory, they were all lost to Chelsea, but in the last meeting last season, we were victorious. What does this mean? This shows that things have changed! ”

The Manchester media also ridiculed Chelsea's defence when they met Manchester City last season, shrinking their defence and completely abandoning the attack, and losing all of them.

Guus Hiddink was unable to stay at Chelsea because of the defeat in this game.

The two sides turned over each other's black history, as if whoever had more black history would lose.

The war of words between these media outlets has also affected the players. Because journalists will interview the players and hear what they have to say about each other.

As the captain and number one star of the team, Rongguang is naturally the most popular with reporters.

Everyone wants to hear what he thinks about the upcoming battle of the spotlight.

But Glory doesn't see it as a battle of focus.

'Was the game against Chelsea special?' Rong Guang asked the reporter rhetorically.

"Of course the significance is extraordinary, this is the match between the first and second in the league...... "The journalists stressed the significance of the match to Rongguang.

"The league has only played fifteen rounds, is it going to decide the league champion?" Glory looked surprised.

"Uh......" Faced with a question like Glory, reporters don't know how to answer.

Yes, now that the league has only been played for fifteen rounds, it would be too exaggerated to say that this game will be related to the final league championship. But the media is used to exaggeration, and they don't think there is anything in it. Now that Rongguang asked, they didn't know how to answer.

In order to create gimmicks, they blindly exaggerate. Now he is dumbfounded by his own exaggeration.

"So, it's just a normal league, and whoever wins or loses doesn't have any impact on the final league title." Rongguang said.

Everyone thought that Rongguang's statement actually meant that he didn't care about the outcome of this game.

But then, Rongguang said: "But in any case, this game is at our home stadium, and we will definitely not accept defeat." ”

The reporters were all shocked by this turn of events, and they didn't expect that in the end Rong Guang would come to such a conclusion - where did he come from this logic?

Rongguang said that he wanted to win, and the reporters really didn't have anything to say, he had the strength and the confidence and qualifications. He said that he wanted to win, and it was definitely not a gimmick, nor was it a bluff.

So in the eyes of journalists, this is not something to hype.

Chelsea, too, did not have any explosive verbal conflicts.

Carlo Ancelotti is a low-key good guy who rarely opens his mouth before a match and then taunts his opponent. He's not Jose Mourinho.

And with the new manager, Chelsea's players are less aggressive.

Although, it stands to reason, they should have a lot to say.

Chelsea lost at home last season in a humiliating way and they can't possibly pretend it didn't happen at all.

So they really want revenge.

But Carlo Ancelotti's players did not come out.

Everyone was holding their back in their hearts to beat Manchester City in the game.

※※※

With one day to go, Manchester City's last training session before the game.

There wasn't much intensity in this training session.

The main practice is set-pieces and some shooting exercises.

It was a very normal pre-match training session.

Such training sessions are generally not open to the media.

So there were no reporters and no fans outside the training ground today.

The entire training base was closed.

It was during this training session that Robinho was injured.

He jumped up for a header from a set-piece and landed on the ground with his foot down.

At that time, I couldn't stand up, and in the end, I was supported by the team doctor and walked slowly.

Looking at it this way, the next game against Chelsea will definitely not be available.

Benitez frowned and went over to check on Robinho's injury before coming back and telling the others to continue training.

David Silva was asked to wear the yellow vest that represents the main team and joined the main team.

That means David Silva will start against Chelsea.

※※※

Because it was a closed training, the news of Robinho's injury did not spread at first.

It wasn't until the afternoon's pre-match press conference, when Rafael Benitez announced that Robinho would miss tomorrow's game against Chelsea through injury, that it was not known what had happened in the morning.

“…… It's good news for Chelsea. Robinho has been outstanding this season, and his absence has taken a toll on City's attack......

Some media commented so.

"Robinho is out? I don't think it makes a difference. Ancelotti answered the reporter's question. Manchester City are a very strong team, especially their bench squad, which has improved after this summer and has great players on the bench, so I don't think a Robinho absence can cost them anything......

Carlo Ancelotti doesn't think Robinho's absence will affect City, unless it's a glorious absence.

If Glory misses this game, then he will be relieved.

But this is unlikely, Rong Guang is a man of good physical fitness, he rarely has a physical exhaustion and needs to rest, and he himself is rarely injured.

Usually there are few minor injuries.

After joining Manchester City, he missed a game due to injury.

Attendance is quite high.

Carlo Ancelotti is not concerned about the impact of Robinho's absence.

※※※

Robinho was a bit frustrated, but David Silva was the one who benefited directly.

David Silva doesn't show it on the surface, but in his heart he is a little excited about Robinho's injury and his chance.

He has been with Manchester City for almost half a season, but he has never been awarded a place in the main team.

Because he challenged Glory just after he arrived in the team, the director himself was injured and missed the team's most important pre-season training camp, and after that, even if he returned from injury, he has been paying off the debt for his stupid actions - because he missed the pre-season training camp because of injury, he and the team are not tacit enough, Benitez naturally did not need to let him start in place of Robinho.

In addition, Robinho's performance is really good, so even if he has completely recovered from the injury and the tacit understanding with the team has gradually been established, David Silva is still firmly pressed by Robinho and can only play in games like the League Cup.

Now, Robinho is injured and he's got a great chance.

It's not just this game, it's Robinho's show time until he recovers from injury.

He will have to use this time to fully demonstrate his abilities so that Robinho will not be able to shake his position even if he returns from injury.

The next clash of Chelsea is a great opportunity!
