Chapter 65

With 8 rounds left, Manchester United is obviously unable to catch up with Manchester City.

In the turbulent Manchester United, losing is also expected.

Compared with the rising Manchester City, Manchester United is undoubtedly looked down upon now.

The original pattern of rivalry between Manchester United and Arsenal has also been broken. In the past many years, these two teams have come and gone, winning and losing each other, but this season, both teams have been left far behind by Manchester City.

The upstart Manchester City has become the most eye-catching team this season.

In the middle of the week, the quarter-finals of the FA Cup are fully underway.

Manchester City challenged Villa in an away game. Villa had just defeated Manchester United, and the morale of the team was high, trying to kill the Manchester duo.

But their thinking is too simple.

In the opening 16 minutes, Crouch made a curve ball with his left foot at the front of the penalty area, and the ball went straight into the dead corner, 0:1!

Crouch, who has received Su Ke's inheritance, has such a shooting ability that is simply earth-shattering.

Keegan is very satisfied on the sidelines. Crouch can pass and shoot, and has become the most important part of the team's striker.

In the 26th minute, Sun Ji made a pass from Haihai Road. Crouch did not choose to attack the goal with a header. Instead, he stopped the ball and made a sideways shot. The ball rolled into the Aston Villa goal again, 0:2 !

The enhanced Crouch is really radiant.

He seems to have forgotten that he is a big man and rarely uses headers. Instead, he can shoot left and right with both feet and has superb shooting skills.

This makes the opponent hard to guard against.

The Villa team refused to give in, and they then pressed out to attack.

This kind of game, no matter how much you lose, is the result, but if it is reversed, it can become famous and attract the attention of the outside world.

But before the end of the half, Sun Jihai counterattacked from the right and cut into the penalty area. He volleyed into the center post and the score became 0:3 at halftime!
Obviously, the game has ended early.

In the second half, neither side tried their best. Aston Villa hadn't completely avoided relegation. They still needed to retain some energy and finally chose to give up.

Naturally, Manchester City did not kill them all, and the two sides tacitly ran out of game time.

At the end of the final, Manchester City defeated Villa 3-0 and reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup.

They will meet Arsenal in the semi-finals, and this game is bound to be a match between Mars and Earth.

After the game, Keegan praised Crouch greatly, thinking that his growth rate is too fast and has exceeded his expectations.

And Keegan also called on the national team to call Crouch, young and he is the future of the England national team.

The next day, England national team coach Eriksson also responded to Keegan, thinking that Crouch was indeed in his consideration.

"Yes, that big man overturned our traditional understanding, and the opponent also overturned his own thinking. Villa's defense was still good, but Peter took the three-way ball and made the opponent hard to defend.

He is in my consideration and he will have his place. "

The media also believed that Manchester City picked up a big deal. Portsmouth sold an excellent striker who could score in double figures in a season for 220 million pounds, which was a big loss.

Of course, how did they know that Jia Yi had operated on Crouch?
Otherwise, Crouch can only be regarded as a tactical pawn, and it is difficult to become a top striker.

But now, it's not necessarily the case. He has both height and skill at his feet, and he is definitely a very important striker pillar.

Jia Yi is also secretly laughing at the moment. Manchester City's current market value is soaring rapidly. With proper operation, they should make a lot of profits this season, at least more than 5000 million pounds.

These players I have chosen really give me a face. Everyone can play their own role on the field and let the team continue to move forward.

It seems that the goal for next season can be set higher, to hit the triple crown or even the quadruple crown.

However, at this time of playing, the team's physical energy has also been consumed a lot, and in the end they still need to grit their teeth and persevere.

There are still 8 rounds in the league, and Manchester City has to win at least 3 games before they can touch the Premier League championship trophy.

There are still two more games in the FA Cup, which obviously requires gritted teeth and persistence. The hope for a season must not be careless.

On March 3, Manchester City came to Stamford Bridge away to challenge Chelsea.

The current Chelsea team is also in deep financial crisis. Betts' team has more than [-] million in debt.

However, their results are not bad, currently only 2 points behind Newcastle United, and still have a chance to hit the Champions League seat.

If they can participate in the Champions League next season, this will undoubtedly greatly improve their financial situation.

Jia Yi and Bates were sitting in the box watching the game. Seeing the sad look on Bates' face, Jia Yi wanted to give the Chelsea boss some hints.

Because soon, Abramovich will come to rescue him and start a more ferocious golden dollar football era.

But now that I say it, will Bates believe it?

It is useless to say this, but it is still possible to dig a corner of Chelsea.

What Jia Yi is interested in is Lampard and Terry. If Chelsea is willing to sell these two, Jia Yi can give 5000 million pounds.

"Mr. William, I know you are in financial difficulties. How about selling John and Frank to Manchester City? I am willing to give you 5000 million pounds to tide you over."

Jia Yi tentatively asked, but he had no idea. These two were the core of Chelsea. As long as Betts still wants to engage in football, it is impossible to sell.

Bates smiled and said, "Mr. Jia, this joke is not funny at all. Chelsea will never sell them. Although it is a bit difficult for me now, I can still persevere.

Without them, it will be difficult for Chelsea to be attractive again. Not only may their performance plummet, but it will also be difficult to attract the attention of foreign investors. "

Jia Yi smiled, thinking to himself that nothing unexpected happened.

Jia Yi looked down on other players, so he didn't say anything more.

But at that time, you can still seduce Chelsea's veterans Zola and Desailly. These veterans have created a very glorious past. Even now, they are still able to complete the team's tactics excellently.

As long as you pay them a decent salary, they should be fine.

When the time comes for the veterans in the team, let them play if they can play. At critical times, the experience of veterans can help the team advance in multi-line battles.

If they can't play, then Jia Yi can still copy their attributes, and he will definitely not suffer.

With their glorious past, no matter what, they can get item cards above Platinum Cards, right?

Game start.

The home team took the initiative at the beginning and attacked aggressively.

As a veteran team, Chelsea has its own pride in front of Manchester City.

In 11 minutes, Lampard and Gudjohnsen cooperated to reach the top of the penalty area, shot a cold shot, and the ball was saved by Petr Cech.

Shoots beautifully and defends brilliantly.

"Oh, it's just a little bit close, what a pity."

Bates patted his thigh regretfully and said.

Jia Yi is more and more satisfied with Petr Cech. Picking up such a treasure is completely as important as Ronaldinho.

Don't concede the ball behind and score goals in the front. Winning is as simple as that.

In 18 minutes, Ronaldinho also cooperated with Crouch to reach the top of the arc in the penalty area. His shot hit Terry, but it fell just in front of Crouch.

Crouch pokes and shoots, 0:1!

"Ha ha ha ha."

Crouch screamed to the sky and ran to the sidelines to celebrate the goal.

This kind of leak, luck is really good, of course he will not miss this opportunity.

Teammates also ran over to celebrate together.

If this game is won again, Manchester City will not have too many strong opponents behind, and winning the championship is easy.

And this goal is a good start.

"Mr. William, I'm sorry, we scored first." Jia Yi said with a smile.

Bates naturally looked depressed. Originally, Chelsea dominated the situation, but with such a lucky ball, his Chelsea fell behind.

"It's all luck. The Brazilian's shot is not a threat. We will get it back later, you."

Bates said unwillingly.

Jia Yi said with a smile: "Sometimes luck is also a part of football, and if a team is favored by luck for a long time, then they are also a manifestation of strength.

Mr. William, do you think I'm right? "

Betts has nothing to say, Manchester City is the top team, what can he say?
The game continues.

But at this time, Keegan walked to the sidelines and gestured to withdraw.
