i want to be king

Chapter 955 Give me a Sudong, and I can win the whole world!
Before, when Chelsea coach Villas-Boas complained about the schedule, the media blamed Manchester City, leaving Boas speechless.

This is not only because Manchester City's results are better, it is very important that Manchester City's schedule can be called the devil of the devil.

Four games were played in twelve days, especially between No.19 and No.20 rounds, on December 31 and January [-] respectively, that is to say, there was only one day in between.

That's it?

This is just the beginning.

The FA Cup weekend is on January [-]th, while others are on January [-]th or even [-]th.

So why is Manchester City one day earlier than others?

Because they will usher in the first leg of the League Cup semi-final three days later.

Then came the No.20 round of the league, and the second round of the League Cup semi-final in the middle of the week.

Is it a little round?

It's okay, just need to know that in this devil's schedule, Manchester City has to play two more games than other teams, that's okay.

However, Chelsea must also have an opinion, because they also reached the semi-finals of the League Cup and have to play two more games.

Then look at the opponents in the game.

In the No.20 round, Manchester City played against Liverpool at home.

In the third round of the FA Cup in midweek, Manchester City played against Manchester United at home.

Yes, you read that right, Manchester United!
Those damn guys from the FA didn't know how they drew the lottery. They even drew the top two teams in the Premier League to the third round of the FA Cup. Doesn't this mean that they are staging the final in advance?

But in the words of the FA, this also proves that the FA Cup draw is open, fair and just, and there is absolutely nothing tricky about it.

Look, even Manchester City and Manchester United are drawn in the third round, what's the trick?
At least it's not like the Champions League, what kind of seeding team is there!
In the two rounds of the League Cup semi-final, the opponent is Liverpool, while Chelsea's opponent is Cardiff in the British Championship.

The strength of these two teams is not at the same level at all, they are not the same.

The No.20 round is an away game against Wigan Athletic, and the No.20 second round opponent is Tottenham Hotspur.

If Manchester City can beat Manchester United to advance in the third round, then the FA Cup will follow.

In other words, throughout January, every game of Manchester City was a bitter battle.

Don't look at Wigan Athletic in the relegation zone, but their home game is not easy to play. Liverpool and Chelsea have suffered enough here and only got a draw, not to mention the fatigued expedition like Manchester City.

It can be said that under Manchester City's hell-level schedule, Chelsea has no right to complain.

……

Ended [-] and entered [-].

Manchester City ushered in Liverpool on the second day of the new year.

At the Etihad Stadium, both sides have carried out a very vigorous rotation.

There is no way, playing two games in three days without rotation, the players' bodies simply cannot bear it.

But even with the rotation, many players are seriously out of shape.

After the opening, both sides played rather dull in the first 10 minutes, and no one was able to create a chance.

The absence of key players such as Bellamy and Gerrard has a great impact on Liverpool, while Manchester City is constantly running in.

No. 15 minutes, Manchester City finally played a threatening attack.

Su Dong retreated to the left, cooperated with Hazard and Moutinho, failed to penetrate Liverpool's defense, and was forced to pass back to Busquets to reorganize.

Gareth Barry saw his moment and sent a long pass with his left foot, which was precisely behind the Liverpool defence.

Su Dong moved forward at the fastest speed, and after stopping the ball with his foot, he formed a single shot.

After rushing into the penalty area, Su Dong pinned the central defender Daniel Agger behind him, faced the attacking goalkeeper Reina, made a sudden pause to adjust, and then kicked out to send the ball into Liverpool's goal.

Su Dong has too much experience in dealing with such a single-handed ball.

He knows better than anyone how to disrupt the goalkeeper's rhythm and confuse their judgment.

After scoring the lead, Manchester City slightly slowed down their offensive and rhythm.

No. 401 minutes, before the end of the first half, Manchester City created another opportunity. Su Dong broke through with the ball and fell to the ground after being fouled by Skrtel at the front of the penalty area.

Su Dong did his part. Facing the Liverpool wall full of high-ranking men, he still used a wonderful arc kick, rounded a far corner, wiped the corner in the upper right corner, and turned into Liverpool's goal, expanding the score for Manchester City, two to zero.

After establishing their advantage, Manchester City slowed down their offensive slightly.

After changing sides to fight again in the second half, Guardiola replaced Su Dong on time in 10 minutes, hoping that he can get enough rest and recharge his batteries to prepare for the weekend's FA Cup match against Manchester United.

What was different from usual was that after Su Dong left the field this time, he didn't linger on the bench, but went straight into the player tunnel and went back to the locker room to rest and massage.

His personal coaching staff was already waiting for him inside.

……

"Manchester City fans at the Etihad Stadium are applauding Su Dong."

"This is one of Manchester City's players with the most appearances and the most playing time this season. As a center forward, especially a high center forward, such an attendance rate is really, very amazing."

"More importantly, Su Dong can bring goals to Manchester City every time he plays."

"It can be said that he is the key figure for Manchester City to go hand in hand on four fronts this season."

"The fans of Manchester City are very aware of all this, so they give Su Dong a high degree of affirmation, and we can also see that Su Dong is indeed very tired."

"But as the captain of Manchester City, as the team's number one star, he can't rest yet!"

The applause from the Ittihad stands continued for a long time when Su Dong entered the locker room.

…………

…………

League No.20 round, very cold.

Manchester City finally defeated Liverpool [-]-[-]. Su Dong scored twice. In the second half, Moutinho created a penalty. Milner calmly took the penalty and sealed the victory for Manchester City.

This is one of the few warm feelings in the cold winter months.

The coldest is Boas.

The Portuguese young marshal now has a kind of sadness that even God wants to fight against him.

He was pressured by the media and fans before, his results were not satisfactory, and the management was not satisfied with him, so after a large rotation, he finally thought of Lampard next to the drinking fountain.

As a result, in the No.20 round, when Lampard finally started again, the audience performed well. He was still in the finale of the game and used his own goal to help Chelsea beat Wolves [-]-[-] away.

What could be more embarrassing than this?

He has not tasted the joy of victory for five rounds, but this time he replaced Lampard, Chelsea won immediately, and it was Lampard's lore goal.

What does this mean?
Boas can no longer imagine that his image in the Chelsea dressing room, fans, and even the outside media has not improved because of this victory, but has fallen further, and it has fallen endlessly.

……

Compared to Chelsea, Arsenal's performance this round can also be described as depressed.

Wenger has not introduced a strong central defender, and now he has finally paid the price.

Julu's second yellow card in the No.708 minute was sent off by a red card, leaving Arsenal with one less player in the last ten minutes.

As a result, Fulham took advantage of these ten minutes to score two goals in a row and reversed Arsenal [-]-[-].

Losing by three points and winning for Chelsea saw the Gunners knocked out of the top four and replaced by the Blues.

Then there are Liverpool and Newcastle.

The Magpies Newcastle have exploded this round.

Against Manchester United at home, Newcastle played very well, beating Manchester United [-]-[-].

Ferguson's team led by two goals in the last round, and was reversed [-]-[-] by their opponents. This time, they simply lost more thoroughly, losing directly to Newcastle [-]-[-] away.

What?Is it embarrassing to lose three goals?

Isn't that what you all said?
In the last round, you said that it was embarrassing for me to lead by two goals and conceded three goals and was reversed. Then I didn’t even score two goals in this game and conceded three goals. You still say I am ashamed?
Come on, what do you want from me at Manchester United?
Can you give me a happy word?
Ferguson seemed very calm after the game, saying that this defeat was indeed disappointing. Newcastle's second goal completely killed Manchester United. Since then, the game has completely lost its suspense.

Since Manchester City defeated Liverpool [-]-[-], the gap between the two teams at the top of the standings has widened to [-] points. Ferguson expressed regret that the Premier League champion this season basically belongs to Manchester City.

"As much as I hate to say it, we have to accept that Manchester City's advantage in the Premier League is gradually turning into a bargaining chip for them to win the title. They are the most powerful contenders for the title. It is difficult for other teams, including Manchester United, to influence them."

But for Guardiola's team, Ferguson is not convinced.

"If you can give me a Sudong, I can win more consecutive victories, and I can even win the whole world, but the problem is, I don't!" Ferguson is obviously resentful about this.

He wants to introduce Sneijder from Inter Milan, but Manchester United's management has no such plans.

According to statistics, in the past five years, Manchester United spent a total of 6000 million pounds in the transfer market, but sold them to earn 5000 million pounds. That is to say, Manchester United's net investment in the past five years was only 1000 million pounds.

Of course, the transfer income includes the huge income brought by Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer to Real Madrid, but this is also part of the club's overall strength, and Manchester United did not use this money for signings.

Nowadays, Manchester United makes a profit of more than 8000 million pounds every season, but the loss has reached a staggering [-] million pounds. Behind this is the blood sucking from the Glazer family.

Ferguson said that if you give him a Su Dong, he can win more in a row. This is definitely not an angry statement, but he really feels that Manchester United's current investment simply cannot support the scene of a wealthy family.

Now that Ferguson is still there, he can barely maintain the situation by relying on his own ability, but at his age, how long can he maintain it?

When he can't hold on anymore and retreats, what will Manchester United look like?
Ferguson didn't dare to think about it, but he was really annoyed.

After coaching Manchester United for so many years, when has he been in such embarrassment?

Especially when he will face Manchester City in the FA Cup next time, what will he use to fight Manchester City?
