“We are not going to give up on the league.”

?This sentence was not what Benitez said, it was glory that said it.

The background of his words is that in the media, they are analyzing that Manchester City may give up fighting with Manchester United in the league because of the Champions League final. Anyway, they have won the league championship for two consecutive years. In the face of the huge glory temptation of defending the Champions League, the league championship is not that important.

So to avoid injury, Benitez should make some adjustments to the starting lineup in the same city derby on the weekend to give those tired main players a chance to rest.

At the same time, his arrangement also means that Manchester City may give up the league.

Such analytical arguments are rampant.

So Rongguang took the initiative to talk about this issue during an interview.

"We have already won this season..." When Rongguang said this, he paused for a moment, then counted his fingers, "Community Shield Cup Champions, European Super Cup Champions, Club World Cup Champions, League Cup Champions. We have won so many championships, of course the remaining championships are also needed."

"So, we won't give up on the league." Rongguang said this in front of the uproaring reporters.

The reporters were in an uproar. Rong Guang made a straightforward statement for the first time. His goal is not only to defend the Champions League championship, but also to win all the championships of this season!

There are still three championships that have not been decided - the league champion, the Champions League champion and the FA Cup champion.

The most recent one is the FA Cup champion.

After this same-city derby, Manchester City will play the previously postponed league with Norwich next week.

Then next weekend, the FA Cup finals will be.

Their opponent in the FA Cup final is Chelsea.

That's not a good opponent either.

In a short period of time, fierce battles are a huge and severe test for the entire Manchester City team.

The media think that even if Glory is Superman, he has no problem and can hold on, but what about his teammates?

As the highlight of the 36th round of the Premier League, Manchester City's home match against Manchester United was put in the last game. On the evening of April 29, all leagues ended and the match between Manchester City and Manchester United began.

In this game, Manchester United sent the strongest lineup, and Manchester City, as Rongguang said, they did not mean to give up. Their starting lineup was exactly the same as the starting lineup that played against Barcelona in the last away game.

However, this is something they are happy to see in the eyes of Manchester United supporters. They believe that if Manchester City continues to use this lineup, Manchester United will have more chances of winning.

After the game started, Manchester United was indeed very aggressive in the game, just as Ferguson said.

Whether it is offense or defense, the movements are very large.

In offense, they will counterattack the first time they concede the ball.

Even if you can't grab the ball, you can still interfere with Manchester City's counterattack.

It must be said that Manchester United's tactics are against each other, and Manchester City's players are really tired and are not in good condition, so they have been in a long time to enter the game.

So the two sides were in a stalemate.

However, Manchester United also paid some price.

After playing for 30 minutes in the first half, both sides did not score a single goal, but Manchester United received three yellow cards, an average of one in ten minutes. In addition, Manchester City's central defender Kompany also received a yellow card.

In the thirty minutes, the two teams won four yellow cards together, which shows how intense the game was.

In the stands at Manchester City Stadium, the huge booing was never stopped, and it was basically aimed at Manchester United.

Because of Manchester United's tenacious and tough defense and frequent interruption of Manchester City's offense, Manchester City fans are dissatisfied with Manchester United's style of play. They believe that Manchester United has no gentlemanly demeanor and no sports competition spirit.

However, competitions like the same city derby... seem to be no longer about gentlemanly demeanor and sports competitive spirit...

Amid the huge boos, the game was not smooth, and neutral fans were also very painful to watch.

However, the two commentators understood this game situation.

"...After all, this is a game that concerns who can win the league championship. It is similar to the final of the competition. The participating sides naturally have to be cautious and cautious. And Manchester City can actually accept one game? For games, as long as they can draw Manchester United at home and score with Manchester United in one less game, as long as they can win the supplementary match against Norwich, they will lead Manchester United by three points. In the next two league games, they will win the championship. Even if they accidentally lose one of the games and score with Manchester United, they will beat Manchester United by goal difference and win the league championship... Therefore, there is no need for Manchester City to fight against Manchester United."

John Motson analyzes the thoughts of both sides of the game for the audience in front of the TV.

In the end, neither side was able to score a goal, ending the first half 0:0.

Although he was unable to score in the first half, Manchester City players were in a good mood when they left the court, which can be seen from their relaxed expressions and movements.

As John Motterson analyzed, even if it was just a draw at home, Manchester City is completely acceptable.

Now that the Champions League has reached the finals, the FA Cup has also reached the finals. Manchester City players are relatively relaxed now. What they have to consider is the finals. If they don’t think too much before, they will have less burdens in their hearts, and their mood will naturally be pretty good.

Benitez did not necessarily require his players to win the game just because this was a city derby. In his opinion, the city derby has dropped its value after many collisions with Manchester United, and now he is more concerned about the championship.

As long as you can win the remaining three championships, it doesn't matter if you can't win this game, as it will not damage Manchester City's unprecedented glory this season.

※※※

Although Benitez doesn't care whether he can win this game, he can just tie it.

But Glory cares.

Although the draw can also ensure that Manchester City have the upper hand in the league championship, he believes that victory is the safest.

If Manchester City can lead Manchester United by three points with one game less than Manchester United, then after Manchester City plays the supplementary game with Norwich, they will lead Manchester United by six points with the same number of games as Manchester United. Rongguang doesn't think Manchester City will lose to Norwich away, and even a draw is impossible. At that time, with two rounds left in the league, Manchester City will win the championship ahead of schedule.

Winning the league championship ahead of schedule is of great benefit to Manchester City.

In this way, Manchester City can devote all their energy to the FA Cup finals and the Champions League finals.

So this game must be won.

Manchester City kicked off in the second half, and took advantage of the opportunity to kick off, Rong Guang dribbled the ball and hit Huanglong directly.

This scared everyone and made Manchester United players very nervous.

Because just three days ago, at Camp Nou, when Barcelona scored a goal, Rongguang took advantage of the kick-off opportunity to drive the ball straight to Barcelona's goal, and after a series of beautiful passes, he shot the ball into the goal.

Now that the same trick of Glory is used again, people cannot help but think of his ball against Barcelona...

So all Manchester United members rushed up and successfully stopped the glory from moving forward 33 meters away from the goal.

Of course, Manchester United also paid the price.

Carrick, who was fouled against Glory, received a yellow card, which was Manchester United's fourth yellow card in this game.

Moreover, Manchester City also won a free kick 33 meters away from the goal.

Rongguang stood in front of the football. He had already set up the football and was waiting for the referee to whistle.

Manchester United has built a wall of up to seven people, which is considered a high-standard treatment.

There are only eleven players playing in a game. Except for the goalkeeper, seven of the ten people are in the wall, and there are only three people in the other place. At this time, if Glory does not directly have a free kick, but passes the football to others, it may be possible to create a shot.

But Manchester United is not unaware, but they have no other way except to do so. After all, Glory's free kick level is very high.

If they line up one less person on the wall of people, causing Glory to kick the football directly into the goal, then it would be useless for them to regret it.

At this time, they can only compare the lesser of the two evils. They still believe that Glory will not give this opportunity to others, and he will do it himself.

A wall of seven Manchester United players lined up in front of glory.

?The referee whistle sounded, and the glory began to help.

His running distance is slightly longer, which is his typical elevator ball running assist.

He doesn't care what form he will give a free kick by his opponent, because even if he is known, the opponent may not be able to save it.

For example...this time!

The football flew over the jumping wall of people and flew towards the goal.

De Gea flew towards the football.

His hand was raised high, trying to ramble the football out.

But he didn't encounter football.

Because there is still a distance between his hands and the football.

After the football crossed the wall, it tilted a little to the left. For the elevator ball, it is normal to go left and right. Sometimes, even Rongguang himself can't control it.

This also makes De Gea more difficult to defeat.

He flew out but didn't touch the football.

The football flew over to the left of his fingertips, and then...flew into the goal!

"The ball... the ball is in! The ball is in!" John Motson raised his arms and shouted. "Rong! No matter when, Rong is the most trustworthy and the most anticipated one! Beautiful elevator ball! The football deflected in one direction in the air, making De Gea unable to defend!"

The TV broadcast quickly cuts to Glory a shot.

The glory after the goal did not run wildly to celebrate, but stood there, raised his right hand high, pointing his index finger to the sky.

And his teammates were like ships sailing in the dark that lost their way. When they saw the lighthouse, they rushed over and surrounded him.

It seems that only under the lighthouse can one find a sense of security.

Then the TV broadcast cut a close-up shot for Ferguson. The old coach in the camera stood on the sidelines, his gray hair was a little messy. I don’t know if it was blown by the wind or because of his intense actions...
