Chapter 458 The final suspense
Win the Battle of the King of Heaven in the Premier League, and by the way, we welcomed Xu Qi's final
Manchester City is now in a double happiness.
However, this does not mean that Manchester City can definitely win the Premier League championship.
Because there are still two rounds of the league, Manchester City must not lose points, they must win them all.
And the opponent is not a team that is easy to deal with.
The pressure at this time is carried by Manchester City. They control their own destiny and naturally have to bear greater pressure.
Manchester City faces Newcastle United in the second last round, which ranks fifth in the league. This is a team that is competing for the qualification for the Champions League, so its strength is naturally quite strong.
Moreover, during the winter break, the team introduced the Senegalese striker Papis Cice, who had previously played for Freiburg. After the winter break, the super front line formed by Cice and Dembaba also made major Premier League teams frightened.
Of course, as a championship team, Manchester City will naturally not be afraid of such a strong team. It just makes it a bit difficult to win them. Moreover, the venue for this game is also at the James Park Stadium, and it is somewhat difficult to play away.
In this game, Manchester City is naturally the main force to fight again. After all, Manchester City is not under pressure to fight on multiple lines now. Today, Manchester City only needs to win the Premier League.
In the semi-finals of the League Cup, they were eliminated by Liverpool, and in the FA Cup, Manchester City also met their city rival Manchester United as early as the semi-finals of 64. At that time, Xu Qi was injured and finally Manchester United was eliminated.
While the key battle with Newcastle United was the last two rounds of the Premier League, all the games were held at the same time.
At the same time, Manchester United will also face the challenge of Swansea at home.
If Manchester City wins this game and Manchester United loses, Manchester City will be able to win the Premier League championship one round ahead of schedule.
Therefore, many fans and media are waiting for such a possibility, whether the suspense of the Premier League championship will be revealed in advance whether it will remain in the last round or in the penultimate round.
Two games are played at the same time.
Manchester City's main players play. This time, Aguero and Xu Qi are on the front line, and the midfield is still the configuration of Yaya Toure, Barrie, Nasri and David Silva.
Xu Qi can naturally retreat or press forward, and his position is very flexible.
On the rear line, Johart guarded the gate, Sabaleta, Kompany, Lescott, and Krish's configuration is still trusted by Mancini.
The Magpies Newcastle, who played at home, also started with their defensive resistance, and the offensive of Manchester City.
As a team that is qualifying for the Champions League, they naturally want to fight for the leading team of this league.
The qualifying teams in the Champions League naturally have a chance to defeat the leader.
Especially when Manchester City is under such huge pressure to compete for the championship, once they miss the front in this game, the advantage they gained from finally defeating Manchester United in the last game will no longer exist.
Manchester City will never allow such a thing to happen.
On another field, the score on Old Trafford has been rewritten in advance.
Scholes helped Manchester United start the first record in the 28th minute.
In the forty-one minute, Ashley Young successfully scored and helped Manchester United expand their advantage.
At this time, the score on the James Park Stadium on Manchester City has not changed.
Until the second half, in more than 70 minutes, Manchester City finally found an excellent opportunity. Yaya Toure fulfilled his mission and sent the ball into the goal guarded by Newcastle United Kruel.
One to zero, Manchester City finally released the pressure. This season, Yaya Toure also helped Manchester City grab a lot of points with his horror performance. In this critical battle, Yaya Toure stood up again.
In the selection of the best players in the team, Xu Qi, Aguero, David Silva and Yaya Toure all had a lot of voices.
Because Xu Qi was injured for too long, Yaya Toure is now the most popular player in the media.
If Manchester City finally wins the Premier League, Yaya Toure is likely to receive the Premier League Best Player Award this season.
After scoring a goal, Manchester City relaxed the pressure. Next, they wanted to hold on to this three-pointer.
However, in the 87 minutes, Newcastle United's defense gave another big gift. After Xu Qi intercepted, he once again gave Yaya Toure an excellent pass.
Yaya Toure used his arch to push out a heavy cannon on the penalty area line, and blasted the goal guarded by Kruel again!
2-0, Manchester City secured the victory!
Their victory almost declares that Newcastle United will find it difficult to qualify for the Champions League next season.
And there is another situation in the Premier League about the Champions League seat, that is, the strange existence of Chelsea.
They just suffered a four-to-one sweep from Liverpool in the last round, and now ranks sixth in the standings. With one round left in the league, they are five points behind Tottenham, which is ranked fourth, and it is no longer possible to hit the top four.
However, they miraculously eliminated Barcelona and entered the Champions League final.
This has to be said to be a very magical thing. If Chelsea wins the Champions League title, then the Tottenham Hotspur's Champions League place is likely to be squeezed out by Chelsea.
This is embarrassing.
However, Manchester City doesn't have to worry about this. Their Champions League place next season has been confirmed, and now they are fighting for the Premier League championship.
A 2-0 win over Newcastle United away.
Manchester City is only one last victory away from the final Premier League championship.
After Manchester United won Swansea, they still scored equally with Manchester City. Since their winning score was also 2-0, the huge goal difference between the two teams has not been changed.
So in the last round, if Manchester United wants to win the championship, they can only hope to draw or lose with Manchester City, so Manchester United has the opportunity to reverse the situation in the Premier League competition again!
All the suspense of this will eventually be left to the last round of the league!
Manchester City faces the relegation team Queen's Park Rangers at home, while Manchester United plays Sunderland away!
In many people's perception, Sunderland is almost impossible to create problems for Manchester United, and it may even give Manchester United a chance to win a goal difference.
However, no one wants to believe that Sunderland will really lose to Manchester United by one goal, because once such a score appears, it will definitely be investigated.
So Manchester United can only hope that Manchester City will not win.
Manchester City does have to face a certain test. After all, the Queens Park Rangers have not completely left the relegation zone yet, so they may fight to the death for relegation. Maybe a big upset will be revealed after a tough battle.
In this game, Manchester City was under great pressure again, which was the decisive battle for the Premier League championship.
Before this game, Xu Qi felt unprecedented tension.
He played in Europe for almost three and a half seasons, won the League Cup, the Ukrainian Super League, the Ukrainian Cup, and the Spanish Cup.
However, he has never been involved in the league championship trophy in the five major leagues.
