767 Octopus and Bear's Paws Can't Have Both
"We want to win the Champions League, and we can't miss out on winning the league. Now Manchester City is only one step away from success. Mr. Ancelotti, everything is up to you."

After coming out of the room of Manchester City chairman Hosni Mubarak, Ancelotti was in an inexplicably bad mood.

Although there is no saying in Italy that you can't have your cake and eat it too, there are similar proverbs.

Now what the Manchester City executives want Ancelotti to do is to have fish and bear's paw at the same time.

"Damn it, do they think that Real Madrid is fishy?" Ancelotti deeply felt that it is really not easy to be the head coach of a big club.

But no matter how unhappy, Ancelotti has no time to entangle at this time.

Because the league match with Chelsea is just around the corner.

On April 4, Manchester City rushed to London to prepare for an away game against Chelsea.

Regarding this game, many people outside have speculated that Manchester City may carry out a rotation and devote more energy to the Champions League with Real Madrid after they have already won the championship in advance.

But what everyone didn't expect was that Manchester City announced a full lineup list before the game.

Everyone was dumbfounded. Obviously, Manchester City planned to fight Chelsea at Stamford Bridge for the title of unanimous victory.

When the game started, Manchester City really played an unreserved game.

Don't look at Chelsea's recovery under Hiddink's leadership, but it is impossible to be an opponent in the face of Manchester City, which is attacking with all its strength.

0-3.

City went all out to beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

But the victory didn't come without a price.

The game was very urgent from the very beginning, and the players from both sides fought to the extreme for victory.

Seven yellow cards and one red card in the audience are enough to prove how tragic the battle was.

As for Manchester City, the last thing they wanted to see happened.

Chelsea Courtois' red card sent David Silva off the pitch.

Post-match inspection requires a six-week truce.

Kompany is still injured, and Silva will not be able to play this season. This news is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Manchester City, which is about to face Real Madrid.

Is it worth it for a league victory that has nothing to do with the outcome, for the false name of winning the championship?
The question hit the headlines of Multimedia after the game.

Many people think that Manchester City coach Ancelotti's mind is confused. It is an unprecedented show operation to cut off his arm when this kind of Champions League battle is approaching.

But seeing the news, Ancelotti could only smile wryly. The club didn't want to give up the title of unbeaten league victory in the case of a two-line battle. What can he do?

Sending a rotation to play Chelsea?
Just kidding, even if Chelsea's performance this season is mediocre, can they be bullied casually?
The club's scapegoat is destined to be borne by Ancelotti.

When interviewed by reporters, Ancelotti said, "I know that the current situation is not easy for us, but we still have the confidence to win the final victory."

There is no way, at this time, even if you know the situation is not good, you still have to slap your face and pretend to be fat.

Amidst the criticism, Manchester City did not have much rest time, and three days later, they ushered in a make-up match for the 27th round.

Still an away game, Manchester City was a guest at St James' Park against Newcastle United.

Facing the rival Magpies, even though the club strongly demanded that Ancelotti must win, Ancelotti still carried out the rotation under pressure for the Champions League in a few days.

No rotation is enough. Three games a week is not a joke. Many main players have muscle fatigue. If there is another injury, they will not play the Champions League against Real Madrid.

But it seems that God and Ancelotti were half joking. Manchester City had just changed into half of the main rotation, and Newcastle took the lead in the first half.

The score was 1-0 and Manchester City did not equalize until the half-time break.

After entering the intermission, Manchester City directly called Ancelotti and asked Ancelotti to win the game.

This led to Ancelotti having to replace the main players at the beginning of the second half.

Then at the end of the 90-minute game, Manchester City completed the reversal and won the game 1-2.

Although Manchester City successfully broke through [-] points after winning this game, no one was happy with the victory.

Because something that everyone didn't want to see happened again. In the second half, Fernandinho was replaced by Fernandinho's calf. The post-match inspection results required a rest period, which was not too long, just two weeks.

But for Manchester City, two weeks is enough to miss the game with Real Madrid.

From the backcourt to the midfield and then to the frontcourt, Manchester City injured three generals in a row.

The Premier League media was wailing, and the Madrid media was about to set off fireworks.

Real Madrid's mouthpiece "Aspen" stated that even though Ancelotti left Real Madrid, he still has his heart for Real Madrid and actively used fatigue tactics to help Real Madrid weaken the opponent's pressure.

Afterwards, the Manchester City executives were furious, completely forgetting that they asked Ancelotti to win the victory, and pushed all the responsibilities on Ancelotti.

I don't know who leaked the news. There was news about Manchester City's high-level dissatisfaction with Ancelotti. For a while, there were rumors about Ancelotti's instability.

Yang Mo, who silently watched all this, was very helpless, thinking that the match with the opponent had not yet started, and they cut themselves a few times first.

No one can decide on such things as players being injured, let's just forget that it has already happened, and now even the news of the coach's dismissal from get out of class is popping up.

The game hasn't been played yet, and my own team is panicking.

What Yang Mo didn't know was that Manchester City's misfortune was not over yet.

Three days later, Manchester City played against Stoke City at home.

In this game against the underdogs, Ancelotti can finally arrange the rotation with confidence.

But the semi-main lineup won the game easily, but some old injuries relapsed.

This time it was even worse, it was Aguero who was injured.

According to the team doctor, the pull-up caused by muscle fatigue is very light and can be recovered within a week.

But the problem is, they are only four days away from the game against Real Madrid!

For a while, the entire European football world began to watch the excitement of Manchester City.

Before the war, the four absolute main players were injured and unable to play, and the future of Manchester City was at a loss.

"It doesn't matter, we have Yang Mo, we can win together!"

When everyone is not optimistic about Manchester City, Manchester City fans can only pin their hopes on Yang Mo.

But when the match came, they realized that even Yang Mo was powerless.

This Real Madrid under the leadership of Zidane is too strong.

If Manchester City's main players are all there, they will definitely be able to fight Real Madrid, but they are obviously unable to withstand the lack of major generals.

Especially Cristiano Ronaldo, who completed a hat-trick in the last round, opened up Manchester City's right wing throughout the game.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice in the whole game to help Real Madrid get two deadly away goals at the Etihad Stadium.

Although Yang Mo desperately assisted Vardy to get a goal back in the second half, he still had no choice but to watch Manchester City lose.

1-2 in the first leg.

An unprecedented haze hangs over Manchester City.

The overwhelming accusations fell on Ancelotti, and everyone felt that Manchester City's defeat was due to Ancelotti's false reputation of winning the championship.

At the same time, everyone pinned their hopes on Yang Mo more and more.

Yang Mo, who has saved the team countless times in desperation, should be able to complete a comeback at the Bernabeu this time.

The fans expected so much.

Entering May, Manchester City beat Annampton by one goal on the first day.

On May 5th, Manchester City rushed to the Bernabeu and ushered in a back-to-back battle in the next round of the Champions League semi-finals.

Yang Mo's performance in this game did not disappoint the fans, but the result proved that miracles don't happen all the time.

Yang Mo tried his best, but Manchester City's right was blown up again.

The final score was 2-2.

Yang Mo scored twice at the Bernabeu, but Cristiano Ronaldo did not fall behind with a pass and a shot.

Manchester City was finally eliminated by Real Madrid with a total score of 3-4.

After the game, Yang Mo scored twice and was unable to save the savior. The news of Manchester City's elimination swept the world of football.

Even if Yang Mo relied on these two goals to refresh his total goals in the Champions League to 101, he still couldn't suppress the news of Manchester City's elimination.

After the game, the reporter asked Yang Mo what he thought about scoring a hundred goals.

Yang Mo replied, "Only goals based on victory are meaningful. We were eliminated. This is the fact. How many goals are not important."
