Chapter 653: Fierce Momentum
Chapter 653 The momentum is fierce
Manchester City's 4-2 home win over Arsenal made headlines across the UK after the game.
This wave of Manchester City's state is too ferocious!
With a five-game winning streak at the start, firmly occupying the top position in the standings, the state is so good that it seems that other teams see little hope.
Some media even said that Manchester City had pre-booked the championship.
However, Gao Bo emphasized to his team later that their opponents were also in good shape!
Manchester United is four wins and one loss in five games, Chelsea is four wins and one draw!
Not many behind Manchester City!
Manchester City seems to be in good shape with five consecutive victories, but in fact, in just one game, they may be surpassed by two opponents.
On the first day of resumption of training, Gao Bo said to the players: "Forget the Arsenal game, our goal is not to beat Arsenal, but to win the league! So... look forward, guys!"
......
After the fifth round of the league, the team ushered in the League Cup.
In the League Cup, Manchester City's signing luck was not very good. They did not draw a team from the lower leagues, but encountered Aston Villa, which is also a Premier League team.
But Gao Bo did not intend to send the main force in the League Cup.
Balotelli has become a lot more honest after beating in the past month or two, and he has not caused any more trouble.
Therefore, Gao Bo decided to give him a chance to play in the League Cup.
Before he played, Gao Bo said in front of Balotelli: "Listen, Mario! This game is not important for me, but it is important for you. If you want to re-enter my lineup , you'd better show your real skills! Otherwise..."
Gao Bo grinned.
"Think about where Yaya is now!"
Balotelli was frightened by Gao Bo's eyes.
"I promise to be obedient! Coach!"
Balotelli hurriedly swore an oath: "God testify!"
Now Yaya Toure is nowhere to be seen, and the first team does not allow him to enter. It is said that Yaya Toure can only train alone in the gym and football field every day.
Such consequences are certainly not what Balotelli would like to see.
On the striker, he sent a combination of Balotelli and Dzeko.
The midfield is Milner, Barry, and Rodwell, a young player introduced by Manchester City from Everton.
Rodwell had already started to introduce Gao Bo before he came to Manchester City, but in order to give the 20-year-old player more chances to play, Gao Bo has always let him train in the first team and play in the reserve team and U21 league. Contest.
He gave Rodwell a chance to play in this game.
In the back line, Maguire and Lescott are partnered at centre-back, with Clichy at left-back and Sabalette at right-back, while in goalkeeping, he kept his promise to let Hart play in cup games.
Despite a massive rotation, their opponents rotated even more thoroughly!
For Aston Villa, they will not invest too much energy in the League Cup. Although Aston Villa is a team with considerable heritage in England, they are not a strong team in the Premier League era. For them, staying in the Premier League is in their best interest.
When two teams with large rotations met, Manchester City, who played at home, won easily.
Dzeko scored in the first half and Balotelli scored in the second.
Manchester City comfortably beat Aston Villa to advance to the next round of the League Cup.
After the third round of the League Cup, the results of the fourth round of the draw came out soon.
Manchester City continue to face the Premier League team in the fourth round.
They were drawn away to Sunderland.
It doesn't look like their luck is very good. . . .
.....
The last game in September, the sixth round of the league, Manchester City played away to Fulham.
With a tough defense at home, Fulham drew with Manchester City 0-0 at home. Manchester City's league win streak came to an end in the summer.
After the sixth round of the league, Manchester City at home against Celtic.
This is the second game of the Champions League group stage.
Manchester City played very hard in this game. The Celtics used a very direct and rude way of playing, using physical strength and high-altitude balls to impact Manchester City's defense.
But in the end, Manchester City withstood the Celtic offensive, and then broke the deadlock with Eriksen's long-range shot, and then Griezmann also scored a goal to beat the Aeltic with a score of 2-0.
However, after winning the Champions League, Manchester City faced Sunderland in the seventh round of the league.
Another draw! !
Manchester City were drawn 1-1 at home by Sandro.
Two consecutive draws in the league!
This puts Manchester City ahead of Manchester United, who are six wins and one loss in seven games and have 18 points.
Manchester City and Chelsea have the same score, both teams have five wins and two draws.
Arsenal are still in fourth place. After losing to Manchester City, they once trailed Manchester City by six points. In the last two rounds, Arsenal have won and drawn one, bringing the difference back to only four points behind Manchester City.
Manchester City's two consecutive draws in the league also let many people breathe a sigh of relief.
"The influence of the Champions League has already appeared. The League Cup, the Champions League, the league, and the third-tier battles have an obvious impact on the state of Manchester City's players. Especially on the offensive end, Manchester City seems to have lost its sharpness in the past!"
On Lineker's "Game of the Day" show, he said so.
After the seventh round, in the eighth round of the league, Manchester City challenged West Bromwich Albion, who was in great shape this season, on the road - West Brom is now fifth in the league!
Therefore, many people are sweating on the recent decline of Manchester City, and some people have some expectations in their hearts-they are expecting Manchester City to lose.
But this game Manchester City let them down!
West Bromwich Albion, who has been defending very well before, conceded four goals in a game!
Manchester City beat West Bromwich Albion 4-0 away - West Brom have conceded more goals at one stroke than in the previous seven games. This season, West Brom have relied on defense to grab points.
This game proved that Manchester City had just taken a nap before, and now they are revived and their attack is still sharp.
Three days later, with the momentum of a big victory, Manchester City challenged Ajax away in the third round of the Champions League group stage. Ajax, who played at home, did not cause too much trouble for Manchester City.
Manchester City easily beat Ajax three-to-one to secure a three-game winning streak in the Champions League group stage.
After the Champions League game, the League Cup games followed one after another. Since the team had just returned from the road, Gao Bo in the League Cup against Sunderland on the road did not even send a few substitutes.
In the end, Manchester City and their opponents played 1-1 on the road. In the subsequent penalty shootout, Manchester City lost the penalty shootout 3-4 and were eliminated from the League Cup.
The League Cup is just a tasteless cup game. Gao Bo doesn't care about it at all. Now Manchester City does not have the absolute strength to take all the champions into their arms.
However, the state of Manchester City has been out of control since then.
In the ninth round of the league, Manchester City beat Swansea 2-0 at home.
In the tenth round of the league, Manchester City beat West Ham United 1-0 away!
After the tenth round of the league, Manchester City ushered in a key game in the Champions League.
In the fourth round of the group stage, host Ajax!
Now in the group that Manchester City are in, the current format is that Manchester City have nine points in three consecutive victories, Real Madrid have six points in two wins and one loss, and Ajax and Celtic are one game away. In a draw, each gets a point.
Therefore, in the fourth round of the group stage, as long as Manchester City wins, they can qualify for the group stage!
This naturally makes Manchester City fans look forward to this game.
Last season, Manchester City experienced a failed Champions League season, and this season's Champions League, Manchester City seems to be very easy to qualify.
Coach Gao Bo is indeed the coach of the Champions League!
In this game, Ajax did not cause trouble for Manchester City, a neat 2-0, Manchester City won at home!
Four rounds of group matches scored twelve points, Manchester City qualified ahead of schedule!
The next key is to compete with Real Madrid for the first place in the group.
After a short slump at the end of September and early October, Manchester City has another wave of winning streaks, showing a very ferocious momentum!
