i want to be king

Chapter 1017

Chapter 1017

After returning to Manchester from London, Manchester City took a short rest, and then went north without stopping to challenge Newcastle away.

This is the No.30 seven rounds of the Premier League.

Since Manchester City played the FA Cup final last weekend, the game was postponed to midweek.

Newcastle is now ranked fifth in the Premier League, only one point behind Tottenham Hotspur, which is fourth in the Premier League. This has made the Magpies put a lot of energy into trying to overthrow Manchester City at home and grab valuable Champions League spots.

This is undoubtedly a sign of revival for the traditional Premier League powerhouse Newcastle.

It is precisely because of this that Newcastle performed quite tenaciously at home.

Everyone knows that Manchester City has been fighting on multiple fronts for a long time, and they have just beaten Liverpool in the FA Cup final. It is a time when they are tired after a long battle. Even if there is a large rotation, the team's running-in will become a serious problem, so Newcastle still has a chance to be upset at home.

And the game was indeed as expected by the outside world. Although Manchester City controlled the ball advantage, they were unable to open up the game for a long time, especially the double striker composed of Dzeko and Aguero, which never failed to form a goal against Newcastle.

However, Newcastle also failed to take advantage of Manchester City.

The game was deadlocked from the first half to the second half. Manchester City also made consecutive substitutions, but none of them replaced Su Dong.

This makes many people speculate that Guardiola is probably going to let Su Dong take a rest.

But in the No. 70 minute of the game, Su Dong suddenly walked to the sidelines and replaced the Portuguese midfielder Moutinho.

Moutinho injured his right foot while fighting with Newcastle midfielder Tiot and asked to leave the field.

When Su Dong came on the field, Manchester City happened to get a throw-in from the left side of the frontcourt.

Leighton Bynes held the ball high above his head and immediately threw it when he saw Su Dong running to catch it.

Su Dong stopped the ball with his chest, blocked Tiot with his body, picked the ball and turned around, directly left the Newcastle midfielder behind, and quickly passed the ball to Aguero, who was retreating in front, and he slanted into the top of the arc of the penalty area.

Aguero understood, stopped the ball and returned it, passing the ball to Su Dong's running line.

After Su Dong shook off Tiot, he caught up with Aguero's pass, stopped, adjusted, and shot directly.

The ball flew out quickly like a cannonball, crossed an arc, and bounced off the front of the penalty area.

Newcastle goalkeeper Krul stood on the left side. Although he tried his best to attack sideways, he didn't expect the ball to bounce off the ground.

One to zero!

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!"

"Less than one minute into the game, Su Dong took a long shot and opened the scoring for Manchester City."

"This is the strength of a superstar, and it won't do to make people dissatisfied."

"The strength of Aguero and Dzeko is indeed very good, but in front of Newcastle's defense, they have been madly attacking for seven or 10 minutes, but they have not been able to break through Newcastle's defense. As soon as Su Dong came on the field, he directly used a long-range shot, piercing Krul's goal and opening the scoring for Manchester City."

"I have to say, this is the gap!"

"Su Dong's strength has even surpassed the limit of human beings. He is the active football king!"

……

After scoring the first goal, Manchester City played more steadily, and they were not in a hurry to fight their opponents.

Su Dong played the whole game in the FA Cup final, so he also kept his strength in this game, and did not run too much, but strutting more in the frontcourt. On the contrary, Dzeko and Aguero took the initiative to bear the burden of running and applying pressure.

There was no way, in front of Su Dong, they could only wrong themselves.

Besides, Su Dong's strength made them dissatisfied. After all, Newcastle's defense really made them feel powerless, and as soon as Su Dong came on the field, he shot through Newcastle's goal with a long shot. What else could they say?

In addition to being convinced, it can only be convinced.

This stalemate has been maintained until the end of the game prize money.

Perhaps seeing that Manchester City was a little lazy, Newcastle took the initiative and launched a wave of rushing attacks at the last minute of the game, trying to equalize the score and keep a point at home.

Unexpectedly, when they took the initiative to press out to play, Gareth Barry made a long pass from the backcourt and accurately passed it to the left. Di Maria dribbled the ball along the left.

Su Dong rushed to the horse, easily grabbed the ball before Coloccini, and stopped the ball.

As soon as the right foot stops, just stand firm, and the left foot hits directly.

The ball passed by Coloccini's side and went straight to the lower right corner of the goal.

Goalkeeper Krul was standing in front of Su Dong, and he was powerless against the easy shot. He didn't even have time to make a save. As for Coloccini, Su Dong blocked him the whole time, and he was powerless to resist.

The two Newcastle players just watched the ball go into the net.

Two to zero!

……

It was also another matchup that was postponed until the middle of the week, and it was also a match that Manchester City paid great attention to. Guardiola even specially arranged for Estiat to bring scouts to the scene to watch the game and spy on the military situation. Liverpool played against Chelsea at home.

One is the opponent of the just-concluded FA Cup final, and the other is the opponent of the upcoming Champions League final. The former is still impressive, while the latter is preparing for the next decisive battle. Manchester City has enough reasons to attach importance to this game.

The media has nicknamed this match a lot, like brothers and sisters, because the two teams are currently ranked sixth and eighth respectively, and the media jokingly called it a war of parallel imports, which will determine who is the king of parallel imports in the Premier League.

Why do you say that?

Chelsea introduced Torres from Liverpool for £5000 million, but the performance of the Spanish forward at Stamford Bridge was a disaster. In order to make up for Torres' departure, Liverpool also spent a lot of money to poach Andy Carroll. The performance of this local center is not satisfactory, even if he has performed well recently.

These two parallel importers have been ridiculed by the team's fans and the media in the past period of time. Now that they meet, they will naturally have a special style, which is very exciting.

But no one thought that from the beginning of the game, the most eye-catching thing was not the two parallel forwards, but Suarez.

From the first minute of the game, Suarez has been constantly creating opportunities and threats, making Chelsea's defense in a panic, but this is also related to Chelsea's rotation.

The Blues have no chance against the top four. Di Matteo is obviously still training for the upcoming Champions League final. As a guest at Anfield, he even arranged for a full-substitute defense to play.

As a result, Suarez raged in front of the defense led by Ivanovic, and in the No. 19 minute, through a wonderful personal attack, he created Essien's own goal.

In the first two and 10 minutes, Suarez went through the crotch twice, once with a single shot and with an assist. He performed quite brilliantly.

Chelsea's defense is full of mistakes and omissions. Under the attack of Liverpool's home court, problems continue to occur.

In the end, Liverpool, who had just lost in the FA Cup final and suffocated, beat Chelsea four to one at home.

Ramirez scored the only goal for Chelsea.

Substantial rotation is the key to Chelsea's loss of this game. Di Matteo is obviously also deliberately using this game to confuse Manchester City, making Manchester City unable to figure out what kind of tactics he wants to adopt.

You know, there is a saying in professional football that every Italian head coach is a master of tactics.

Di Matteo is no exception.

…………

…………

On the weekend, the Premier League ushered in the final game, Manchester City played at home against Queens Park Rangers.

This should have been a game without much suspense, because Manchester City is far stronger than Queens Park Rangers, but Queens Park Rangers are currently ranked No.17, only two points more than No.18, which is Bolton in the relegation zone.

Bolton's opponent is the Stoke City team at home, which is not very strong. With Bolton's strength, it may not be impossible to beat the opponent away and score three points.

In other words, if Queens Park Rangers don't want to be relegated and want to keep relegation steadily, then the best result is to beat Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. If they take a step back, they should also keep the tie.

Since the final round consisted of ten games at the same time, no one knew what the result would be.

Because of this, Queens Park Rangers directly fought with Manchester City.

The whole world knows that at the end of the season, there are three kinds of teams that are most difficult, one is for the championship, the other is for the Champions League, and the most terrible thing is the relegation zone.

All the teams in the relegation zone will really fight you desperately at the final stage of the league.

It is precisely because of this that, out of consideration for protecting the players, Guardiola did not arrange the main players to start, but carried out a large rotation. Firstly, it was to give the main players more rest time to prepare for the Champions League final a week later. Second, it was also to avoid player injuries.

Everyone knows that Queens Park Rangers will definitely go crazy in this game.

Sure enough, in the game, there were endless scenes of people turning their backs on their backs. Although Manchester City was playing at home, they were still violated by the visiting team. Thiago was shoveled by his opponent before the end of the first half and had to be substituted.

But 5 minutes before the injury, he had just assisted Trippier to score a goal.

Then the game entered a stalemate. Until the No. 80 minute of the game, Guardiola changed two players in one breath, replacing Su Dong and David Silva to familiarize themselves with the rhythm of the game.

It was these two substitutions that allowed Manchester City to score again.

Su Dong first used a direct free kick to penetrate the goal of Queens Park Rangers, then got a through ball from David Silva, dribbled the ball into the right side of the penalty area, volleyed and scored, sealing the victory for Manchester City.

In the end, with Su Dong scoring twice after coming off the bench and Trippier's goal, Manchester City won the Queen's Park Rangers [-]-[-] at home, and finally won the Premier League championship this season with an unbeaten record.

Even, the team's unbeaten record is even better than Arsenal's back then.

Before the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the entire Etihad Stadium fell into a carnival ahead of time.
