Chapter 805 Fanning the Fire...

On the night of the game, the team flew back to England.

This is to prepare for the next crucial game earlier!

The ninth round of the league!

Manchester City's away game against Chelsea!

While the Manchester City players were still on the plane, news about the game was already fermenting in the media.

The Italian press, while covering the game, is also bemoaning the fact that Serie A has become less competitive.

With the decline of Italy's overall economy, the once small World Cup has increasingly lost its past color in leagues such as La Liga and the Premier League.

The media in Milan City began to lash out at Allegri.

"It's time for a change!"

Gazzetta dello Sport reported this on the front page.

The spearhead is naturally directed at Allegri.

"Gazzetta dello Sport" believes that even if AC Milan has a certain gap with Manchester City in terms of strength, the gap will definitely not reach the level of a one-to-five point difference.

The head coach should take full responsibility for the fiasco of this game.

In the face of the media's censure, Allegri also bluntly stated that this game is his responsibility. If the team asks him to be responsible, then he will be responsible.

In football, the way a manager is in charge... is mostly just resigning.

AC Milan club began to brew a storm.

And all of this has little to do with Manchester City, who have left Italy.

The English media gave high praise to Manchester City's performance.

With a five-to-one victory over AC Milan, the Premier League team once again ousted the Serie A team.

Historically, Premier League teams have been the nemesis of Serie A teams.

In the confrontation with the Premier League teams, Serie A teams often do not take advantage

In the Champions League, there is a popular saying that "the Premier League beats Serie A". Serie A teams have really struggled against Premier League teams in the Champions League in recent years. Among them, the most typical example is the Champions League 1/8 final of the 2008/09 season. At that time, Rome played against Arsenal, Inter Milan played against Manchester United, and Juventus played against Chelsea. As a result, Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea advanced, and Serie A was wiped out.

It is not uncommon for Serie A teams to be beaten by Premier League teams by big scores in the Champions League. On April 1, 2007, Roma lost to Manchester United 1-7 away. On February 26, 2003, Juventus lost to Manchester United 0-3 at home. On November 26, 2003, Inter Milan 1-5 Arsenal at home. Tottenham's overall strength is not as good as the traditional top four in the Premier League. However, against Serie A teams, Tottenham is still at ease. In the Champions League last season, Tottenham had beaten Inter Milan and AC Milan successively.

Serie A teams' slow-paced, defensive-heavy playing style, and the Premier League's high offensive banner, fast-paced and high-speed winger flow, are born unable to urinate in a pot.

And this time Manchester City's victory seems to have once again verified the statement of "Premier League and Serie A".

The media in other parts of Europe began to exclaim that Manchester City beat AC Mulan, and they have vaguely had a championship appearance!

"Maybe Gao Bo's Manchester City will become the first team in history to defend the Champions League?"

After reporting the game, the German "Bild" added this sentence at the end.

A question mark, meaningful.

......

The media discussions have not affected Manchester City's preparation rhythm.

The match with Chelsea is on the 27th, only four days away from the third round of the Champions League group stage!

In such a high-density race schedule, training arrangements become extremely important.

On the basis of ensuring the quality of training, the coaching staff must allow the players to recover their physical fitness in just four days.

Fortunately, in the past few seasons, Gao Bo's team has spent in such a rhythm of double games a week, or even three games a week.

The coaching staff has plenty of experience to face such a schedule.

After returning to Manchester, the team took a day off and then began to fully prepare for the game against Chelsea.

......

Chelsea vs Manchester City!

This is undoubtedly the focus of the ninth round of the league!

After eight rounds of the league, Chelsea are five points behind Manchester City in third place.

With Manchester United losing streak to Liverpool and Manchester City in the pre-season, it is now widely believed that Mourinho's team will be Manchester City's biggest rivals this season.

In terms of lineup, Chelsea's lineup is not much worse than Manchester City.

Chelsea this season, the intensity of signings is unprecedented!

This season, Anzhi Makhachkala Football Club, the local tyrant team of the Russian Super League, has suffered a serious financial crisis. Many European teams have made crazy investments from this team in previous seasons!

Chelsea also grabbed Brazilian winger Willian from Anzhi Club! This cost Chelsea £32 million in transfer fees.

In addition to Willian, Chelsea also got Cameroon striker Eto'o for free from An Zhi!

On the front line, Chelsea also has an important signing. Chelsea spent 18 million pounds to get the German midfielder and attacker Schurle from the Bundesliga team Leverkusen. This German player is competent. All the positions in the frontcourt, a versatile frontcourt and the type of player Mourinho admires.

In addition to the signings on the forward line, Chelsea also strengthened the midfield.

Chelsea bought back midfielder Matic from Benfica for a transfer fee of 25 million!

However, Matic is more of a midfielder. What Mourinho really wants is an attacking midfielder who can replace the 35-year-old Lampard, and what he wants is He was an important player in the Inter Milan Triple Crown period, the Dutch midfielder Sneijder!

In order to get the 29-year-old Sneijder from the local super giant Galatasaray, Chelsea paid a price of 12 million in the transfer fee, and also matched Sneijder's transfer fee in Galatasaray. The annual salary, one can imagine, Mourinho's desire for the Dutch midfielder.

William, Schurle, Eto'o, Matic, Sneijder!

These are five important signings for Chelsea this season. Since Drogba left Chelsea for the United States in the summer, and Lampard is also old, these five players are almost all regarded by Mourinho as Mainly used.

In one season, almost half of Chelsea's main lineup was changed!

And the strength has naturally improved a lot.

In the face of such a lineup of the opponent, and they are still playing at home, Manchester City naturally does not dare to be careless.

This is a key game in the league, and for Manchester City, who are aiming to defend their title this season, defeating a competitor like Chelsea is an important key node on the road to winning the title.

If you lose to your direct title contender, it will be a very serious blow to the team's morale.

......

In the pre-match press conference, Mourinho was as unruly as ever.

"Mr Mourinho, your team is five points behind Manchester City after eight rounds of the league. Manchester City are in amazing form this season. Their winning streak has lasted for eight rounds. What do you think of this?"

Mourinho pouted and said: "I don't care what happens to Manchester City, I only care about this game, five points behind is not a problem, because after this game, we are only two points behind!"

It was typical Mourinho style, and the reporters were not surprised.

Many reporters are excitedly taking notes.

For the media, they like Mourinho.

Because where Mourinho is, there is news.

Mourinho is a natural figure who likes to put himself in the spotlight.

This is a guy who was born to be the protagonist.

But when Mourinho meets Gao Bo, the protagonist is often not him.

When Manchester City's pre-match press conference was held, a reporter took Mourinho's words to ask Gao Bo's opinion.

Gao Bo responded directly to this.

"According to my personal experience, for Mr. Mourinho's team, my plan is always three points, as you have seen, my plan is really successful. I think, after this game, , Chelsea are eight points behind us!"

On the day Gao Bo's words came out, Mourinho replied.

"I have two Premier League titles. Except for Wenger, who has been in the Premier League for more than 20 years, everyone else's number of titles is below me. I no longer need to prove anything!!"

Gao Bo almost laughed when he saw this sentence.

"Of course he doesn't need proof because some people never win!"

Gao Bo said this with great confidence.

Mourinho likes to fight with words, but he doesn't like to fight with Gao Bo at all.

Because his record against Gao Bo was so embarrassing that he couldn't show it at all.

A war of words can only be self-inflicted humiliation.

Therefore, the war of words before the game ended with Mourinho's death.

But everyone knows that both sides are holding back their strength, ready to give their opponents some color in the game!

......

On the day of the game, an hour before the game, the atmosphere of the game began to warm up!

Chelsea fans are looking forward to this game at home, to defeat Manchester City, to send their opponents their first defeat of the season, and at the same time to narrow the gap between them!

This is a golden game.

The game time is at 6:30 pm local time!

At more than five o'clock, the sun has not yet set, and under the fiery red sunset, the blue bridge is like a fire!

Chelsea's players got off the bus, entered the dressing room, and then warmed up, they were all cheered wildly by the fans!

This gives Chelsea players at home a very strong confidence!

In such a home atmosphere, they believe they can make a difference at home.

The atmosphere of the game reached its peak when the players from both sides entered the field! !

The DJ at Stamford Bridge is reading the names of Chelsea players in turn!

After each name, you can get the sound of the mountain and tsunami!

"The atmosphere of today's game is very, very, very warm!!!"

On the commentary stand, commentator Letkinson was shouting!

"After all, the opponent is Manchester City! Manchester City looks extremely strong now, and for Chelsea, beating Manchester City is almost the best way to continue to put pressure on Manchester City. If Chelsea wants to win the championship, this game must be won. After that, once they lose to their direct rivals for the title at home, it may not be convincing enough to say that Chelsea can win the title this season.”

Redknapp, on the side, added.

"Both sides are the main force, Chelsea, their lineup is like this: goalkeeper Cech, centre-back duo Gary Cahill and David Luiz, right-back Ivanovic, left-back Azpi Liquita, two midfielders Kante partnered with Matic, attacking midfielder Lampard, left midfielder Schurle, right midfielder Willian, striker Eto'o! And for Manchester City, goalkeeper Oblak and central defender partner Kong Pani and Umtiti, left back Kolarov, right back Trippier, and midfielder Milner replaced Casemiro, who was still recuperating, and played alongside Fernandinho. Lezman, Sanchez on the left, David Silva on the right, Hazard on the right, it is worth mentioning that Kaka once again entered the 18-man squad and sat on the bench!"

Letkinson made an introduction to the starting lineups for both sides.

On the TV screen, the camera lens swept across the stands!

Before the game started, Chelsea fans were already clamoring for it.

The stadium atmosphere is as warm as fire!

The coaches of both sides also appeared on the pitch.

Gao Bo and Mourinho went to their respective coaching seats without any intersection!

The rivalry between the two continued from La Liga to the Premier League.

Mourinho did not take any advantage!

But the Portuguese are not one to give in easily.

Moreover, a formidable opponent is also an important means for Mourinho to gather his army!

He was like that when he was in La Liga!

There are many gangs in the Real Madrid locker room, and Mourinho relies on the method of establishing a powerful enemy, flashing the players' competition and confrontation psychology, so that these Real Madrid stars can be used by him!

It’s just that this move was ultimately dissatisfied by Casillas, the captain of the Spanish national team at the time because it affected the unity of the Spanish national team. Everyone met in the Spanish national team and how to play football with sincerity.

There is competition, but if it rises to the point of hatred, it's a bit of a hassle.

In Chelsea, Mourinho also began to use the strength of Manchester City to create the fighting spirit of Chelsea players.

Defeating a strong enemy, and defeating an enemy that looks extremely powerful, is a refreshing feeling that no player can refuse.

In the dressing room before the game, Mourinho gave an impassioned speech, inciting the fighting spirit of the Chelsea players to the extreme!

Discipline!

Pay attention to spiritual strength.

This is one of Mourinho's styles.

However, Mourinho seems to have fanned things a little too far.

The game just started, and Manchester City took the lead.

And when the football passes into the penalty area, Hazard dribbles forward with the ball.

Excited David - Luiz to grab!

Hazard pulled the ball forward and was knocked over by David Luiz!

"Beep!!!!!!!!"

The referee's whistle sounded, and in the incredible eyes of the fans and Chelsea players, the referee's hand... pointed to the penalty spot!

"PENALTIES!!!"

"The referee awarded a penalty kick!!!"

"The game has just started.... 18 seconds! Manchester City got a penalty!!"

"What a surprise!!"

"David Luiz was so frustrating, he completely threw his body out, Hazard's foot was much faster than him, David Luiz's foot was firmly stabbed into Hazard's ankle, and at the same time The body is also a strong collision, Hazard fell to the ground, this penalty kick is no problem!"

At the commentary, the commentators spoke in succession.
