Manchester City are still four points clear of Chelsea after beating city rivals Manchester United 1-0 at home and are three games away from the end of the league.

Even after suffering such a miserable game against Barcelona, Manchester City's results in the league have not shown any ups and downs.

This is due to the glory, of course.

When the whole Manchester City team was not enough, Glory stepped up and saved the team.

It has also been a big disappointment for those who expect Manchester City to be in shaky form due to the two-front battle.

In fact, their previous analysis was correct, Manchester City did seem a little unprepared and inexperienced when facing a two-front battle.

But what they overlooked was that Manchester City had glory.

This is a man who can decide the outcome of a game on his own.

Even if the whole Manchester City team is not strong, as long as the glory plays normally, it will still be difficult to beat Manchester City.

Manchester City are now four points ahead of Chelsea and will face Arsenal away in the next round of the league against Stoke City and they are at home.

It's also going to be a battle of focus.

Manchester City and Arsenal didn't have a grudge before, but since Manchester City snatched Arsenal's fourth place in the league last season, there is now a lot of grudge between the two teams.

In addition to this incident, there are also things that are recorded.

Glory announced on behalf of Manchester City that he would attack Arsenal's unbeaten record of 49 league games, which naturally made Arsenal supporters very unhappy. The old and the new are together, and Arsenal will never let go of Manchester City lightly at their home stadium.

Moreover, Arsenal are also fighting for fourth place in the league.

They are now fourth in the league with 71 points, and fifth in the league is their local rivals Tottenham Hotspur, who are 67 points, just four points separating the two sides, and with three rounds of the league remaining, it is all possible.

Until then, though, City will have to think about Inter Milan – their Champions League semi-final opponents.

After the game against Manchester United, Manchester City did not choose to rest, nor did they stay in the Carrington training base in Manchester to train, but took a bus directly to Milan, Italy, thousands of miles away early the next morning.

It was a very difficult journey, even though they had state-of-the-art buses and there were even toilets and bars in the buses. It is still not a pleasure to travel long distances on such a bus.

According to the club's arrangement, they plan to travel in two days, arriving in France on the first day, then resting in France for a night and finally arriving in Milan on the second day.

Because just one driver, it is impossible to drive all the time, it will be very tiring, and you need to rest after driving for a few hours, so the time is extended.

It is impossible to reach your destination in one day.

In order to cope with such a long and boring journey, the players also tried their best, some played cards and tied gold flowers in the car, some brought all kinds of game consoles, some brought laptops, planned to watch movies and American dramas in the car, some prepared several mobile power banks to charge their mobile phones, and some wore eye masks, planning to start sleeping from the moment they got in the car.

In the face of such a long journey, Glory seems very boring.

First of all, he doesn't play games. Secondly, he doesn't play with his phone. Third, he is not interested in movies and American dramas. Fourth, he doesn't have the habit of going to bed so early.

He is used to training.

But in the car, he really couldn't train himself......

It's a boring journey.

※※※

Benitez sat in the front row of the bus, with his coaching staff.

He looked back at the players in the car, some of them were asleep, some were still playing games, and some were staring boredly at the scenery outside the car window.

Quite a few people seem listless.

If it goes on for two days, in Milan, there are only two days before the start of the game. They set off early......

For just two days, the players have to rest and train ......

What is the effect of such training?

Coupled with the fact that the team is full of injuries, the players are generally not in good shape......

Benitez sighed.

If he had been told before the start of the season that Manchester City would be able to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League this season, he would have thought it was a really good result.

But after really going through this process, he was no longer willing to stop there.

※※※

The match with Inter Milan took place on Wednesday evening, at the Meazza Stadium, and Manchester City's table did not dare to compliment.

The whole team is very tired, that's obvious.

Because I am tired, I am not in the state.

Inter Milan were in control from the start.

They scored three goals in one go.

City only saved face in the 72nd minute when Glory scored from a direct free-kick.

Commentator John Mortensen believes the fatigue of the long journey and the heavy loss of the game against Barcelona are the main reasons for City's poor schedule.

Alan Hansen agrees.

“…… But after watching their away game against Barcelona, I don't think anyone can expect too much from them. Alan Hansen concluded. As a team playing in the Champions League for the first time in four decades, their performance this season has been very, very good. ”

※※※

After the game, the Manchester City players were all frustrated by the loss, and only Glory said he would not give up and would try to turn it around when he returned home.

But that's next week, and City should be thinking about this weekend's trip to Arsenal......

※※※

In the match with Arsenal, what made Arsenal fans most unhappy was what Rong Guang said before, he said that he wanted to try to challenge Arsenal's record, and his tone and attitude at that time made Arsenal fans think that Rong Guang did not respect Arsenal at all.

Therefore they are filled with a disgust for glory.

In this game, Arsenal should beat Manchester City at home, no matter what aspect of the award.

Didn't you brag about challenging our 49-game unbeaten streak?

Then I'll break it for you now, and see how you still challenge!

Manchester City's match against Inter Milan gave them confidence.

If Manchester City were in such bad form when they challenged Inter Milan, they will certainly not be much better when they return to England to play Arsenal.

Because how they got there, they had to come back, and because of the eruption of the Icelandic volcano, the skies over Europe were still not open.

And now the entrances and exits of the undersea tunnel in the English Channel are very, very blocked.

These tosses are enough for the whole Manchester City team to drink a pot.

Just finished playing against Inter Milan, and then tossing and turning in the middle of the journey, Arsenal is playing at home, waiting for work, how can it not beat Manchester City, who just lost?

※※※

As expected by Arsenal fans, Manchester City did return to England from Milan by bus.

Instead of returning to Manchester to save time, the team arrived in London and stayed at their hotel to prepare for the game against Arsenal.

This time it was Tottenham Hotspur who provided their training ground.

Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal are bitter rivals in north London, with Tottenham still battling Arsenal for Champions League qualification next season, and if Manchester City can beat Arsenal, it could be a great opportunity for Tottenham Hotspur.

So Tottenham Hotspur are more than happy to lend it to Manchester City's training base at this time.

Not to mention borrowing the venue, if the rules allow, let them lend Bale and Lennon to Manchester City.

On April 24, three days after the first leg of the Champions League semi-final, Manchester City's away game against Arsenal began.

Benitez didn't make much of a change in this game, and basically Manchester City's main players appeared in the game against Arsenal.

When the game started, Manchester City did play very passively, and the continuous high-intensity games and the fatigue of long-distance travel had a big impact on the team.

So in terms of tactical choices, Benitez is also more conservative than before. In this game, he thinks that the team can win if they can draw away from Arsenal.

Forcing Arsenal to draw, even if Chelsea win, Manchester City would still be two points ahead of Chelsea.

With two rounds of the league remaining, Manchester City only need one win and one draw to claim the title. They will be level on points with Chelsea, but City will have the upper hand on goal difference and will win the league title on goal difference.

That's what Benitez was thinking.

Arsenal certainly won't let Manchester City get the result they want so lightly.

They used their home advantage, as well as possession, to keep the football firmly at their feet, and used the pass to mobilize Manchester City's players to run with the football, making the already few Manchester City players even more tired.

In the 31st minute, Manchester City's goal was finally lost. Arshavin leads the way for Arsenal.

At that moment, the stands at the Emirates Stadium were shaking and trembling – all by the voices of the Arsenal fans.

Arsenal fans have been waiting for this moment for a long time.

The pent-up emotions they had had before seemed to have all been vented through the ball.

Some Arsenal fans shook their fists at the Manchester City players on the pitch and roared: "Want to break our record? Dream on! Idiot!! ”

And when the TV broadcast was shown to the close-ups of the Manchester City players, most of the Manchester City players who appeared in the close-ups were glazed over.

They don't seem to care about the goal they conceded.

Or rather, they weren't surprised.

Isn't it normal to concede a goal when the team is in this situation?
