I Want to Be the King of Football - Chapter 978
Today’s Manchester City confirmed a sentence: standing on the wind, pigs can fly.
As the team steadily passed the Christmas and winter break devil schedule, as the team beat AC Milan 4-0 at home, Manchester City are full of heart, everyone is full of expectations for the future, and they are all about the next. The game was full of confidence.

For example, the FA Cup quarterfinals knockout, the home game against Leicester City.
Manchester City played on a full bench lineup and all the main players took turns. As a result, the substitutes broke out.
David Luiz opened the scoring first, then Hazard scored a goal, then Dzeko scored twice, and finally was the icing on the cake from Gareth Barry, and Manchester City beat Leicester City 5-1 at home.
The collective explosion of substitute players not only shows the solid strength of Manchester City, but also the excellent state of the players.
Standing on the vent, the pig can fly.
This statement makes sense, but there will be another sentence in the future, that is: flying pigs will die when the tuyere passes by.
And Manchester City did not fall to death, but flew higher and higher.
All this comes from the team’s tyrannical overall strength and the unity of the locker room.

De Bruyne was recalled from Belgium.
These two young talents will greatly enhance the overall strength of Manchester City.
In addition, Manchester City is still the Premier League team that has invested the most in youth training in the past few years. At present, Manchester City’s youth team is full of talents, which will provide an endless supply of talents for Manchester City’s first team.

Today, Manchester City is not only the Premier League, but also the entire European football, the passing style is unique and amazing.

Su Dong quickly plugged in and got rid of Gary Cahill’s defense when receiving the ball. Shot, the ball passed over Cech’s head, and fell into Chelsea’s goal with the crossbar, one to zero!

Su Dong was very sorry for not being able to stage a hat trick.
Not long after the second half started, David Silva sent a pass.
Su Dong was at the front of the penalty area, with his back facing Gary Cahill, facing David Silva’s pass, and behind him with a lightly pick pass, he turned and rushed into the penalty area, and when he was about to catch up with the ball, Cech resolutely abandoned the goal and attacked, before Su Dong, took the ball with both hands, and resolved another crisis for Chelsea.
Facing the clever Czech door-god, Su Dong shrugged helplessly, and when he passed by Cech, he gave a special thumbs up.
If it hadn’t been for Cech to strike decisively, the ball would be there again.
After being beaten continuously by Manchester City, Chelsea eventually had to choose defense.
Not long after, Guardiola replaced Su Dong with Dzeko and let him rest well.
Until the end of the game, neither side was able to score any more goals.
In the end, Manchester City relied on Su Dong’s score to beat Chelsea 2-0.

After the coaching change, under the leadership of Di Matteo, Chelsea won consecutively and performed well, especially the Champions League knockout reversal of Naples promotion and won the applause.
But this time losing to Manchester City made Di Matteo quite frustrated.
In a press conference after the game, Di Matteo said that the responsibility for this loss lies with him.
“The game was very difficult. Our players worked very hard, but our opponents are indeed stronger. As the team’s head coach, I lack a clear understanding of this and I am willing to take responsibility for this defeat.”
Di Matteo also explained his reasons for arranging Torres to start, he believes it is because Drogba needs to rest.
“Against Manchester City, I think our team needs flexibility. Torres has been in good shape lately, so I made a decision.”
“I have no problems with Drogba. We have a good relationship. He is still one of the most important players of the team. I believe that he can continue to contribute his own strength to the team in the next games. ”

Manchester City has never been able to break the deadlock on the field, Stoke City firmly defended in front of the goal, and never left Manchester City the slightest chance, which made the Manchester City players on the field more and more anxious.
