Chapter 86 The situation is very good

The next day, Everton and Aston Villa both had their results.

Everton defeated Wigan Athletic 40 at home, so they are still the same points as Manchester City, and Manchester City has not left their opponents because Manchester City has more goals and goals, so Manchester City ranks higher.

There is also good news, Aston Villa lost 2-0 to Manchester United away, and their points remained at 52 points.

In this way, Manchester City and Aston Villa are only one point apart.

As long as Aston Villa makes any mistakes in the next round of the league, Manchester City can win, and they can take advantage of the opportunity to surpass them and advance to fifth place.

At this time, the importance of the two goals that became more and more glorious.

Because when your opponent makes a mistake, if you make a mistake, you will not achieve your goal in the end and you can only blame yourself. You are not working hard. This is called committing your own sins and not living.

If there were no two goals of glory, Manchester City would not be happy even if they saw Aston Villa lose the game, because it had nothing to do with him.

With these two goals from Glory, especially the final shot, Manchester City can now narrow the gap between them and fifth in the league to one point

Including the four points they are different from Arsenal... They are very, very close to the top four in the league

The day after the game, when Aston Villa and Manchester United came out, Manchester's radio stations were discussing the second goal of glory.

Many Manchester City fans called the hotline to express their admiration and gratitude to Glory.

This made Rong Guang, who drove to train, very happy and felt very happy all day.

After winning Arsenal, there are seven rounds left in the league. If Manchester City wants to ensure that they qualify for the Champions League next season, they must win all the games.

Compared with the remaining schedule of Arsenal, Manchester City's opponents are much easier to deal with. In the seven league rounds, only two games are not easy to deal with. One is the 34th round of the league, and Manchester City challenges Everton away. If Manchester City can beat Everton in this game, they can leave Everton behind without allowing them to continue to maintain pressure on themselves.

The other game is the 36th round of the league, Manchester City is facing the same city derby, and Manchester City challenged Manchester United away.

This game is the most critical.

If Manchester City loses this derby, it is very likely that they will lose hope of entering the Champions League next season.

However, Rongguang likes this arrangement very much. He can just vent his tone from the first half of the season, take revenge and help the team get the Champions League qualification for next season. It's really a killing two birds with one stone. Why not do it?

In the next 32nd round of the league, Manchester City defeated Fulham at home. Although Rongguang did not score in the game, he contributed two assists, assisting Berbatov and Robinho to score goals respectively.

Another game that Manchester City paid great attention to was a direct dialogue between Eston Villa and Everton, and the two sides finally tied with a B-Grade

After all, Everton also wants to compete for the qualification for the European war. They are so close to Aston Villa, how could they not try their best in the direct conversation with Aston Villa?

Everton tried his best, and Aston Villa also tried his best, and the end result was both defeated.

Both sides played a B-Go, allowing Manchester City to reap the benefits.

In this way, Manchester City scored 54 points and Aston Villa had only 53 points. Manchester City scored 5th in points, and they became the fifth in the league.

What about Everton? Fifty-one points turned into fifty-two points, and it was still seventh in the league. The ranking did not change at all, but was still distanced by Manchester City...

In another game that Manchester City fans are paying attention to, Arsenal defeated Wigan Athletics 4l away. It seems that it is not affected by the last round of home losses to Manchester City.

The gap between them and Manchester City is still four points.

In fact, as long as Arsenal can keep winning like this, Manchester City will have no chance at all. But... the problem is that they cannot guarantee that they can keep winning.

In the 33rd round of the league, Manchester City faced West Bromwich at home, Aston Villa faced West Ham United at home, Everton challenged Chelsea away, and Arsenal ushered in a strong dialogue between them and Liverpool - this game is the most watched game in the entire round of the league, not just Manchester City fans are paying attention.

In the end, Rongguang scored a goal in the game, and Manchester City defeated West Bromvic 42 at home, maintaining the momentum of winning streak and continuing to put pressure on Arsenal.

Aston Villa was forced to draw by West Ham United at home

Everton also drew with Chelsea 00 away.

The good news is not over yet. Soon, the results of the game from Arsenal also came. After a fierce battle, Arsenal tied 44 with Liverpool away.

No one took advantage of the conversation between the fourth and third in the league

Liverpool had only four points away from Manchester United. They hoped to catch up with Manchester United at the last moment, but Arsenal stopped them from moving forward.

At the same time, Arsenal hopes to consolidate its fourth position in the league, but how can Liverpool get them as they wish?

Both sides have their own reasons to win, but the result is that after a close battle, neither of them won.

A draw doesn't mean anything to both teams, and this result means that both teams have lost.

In the same league round, Manchester United beat Wigan Athletic 2l away, and the gap between them and Liverpool has widened to six points.

At the same time, Arsenal did not win, and the gap between them and Manchester City also narrowed from the previous four-pointer to two points

Arsenal ranked fourth with 59 points, Manchester City ranked fifth with 57 points

The distance between the two sides is getting closer

※※※

Now all Manchester City fans have turned their attention to the league. The league is the main battlefield for competition. They wish tomorrow is the next round of league, and hope that in the next round of league, they will complete the overtake of Arsenal

But unfortunately, next is the FA Cup semi-finals...

Manchester City will welcome Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-finals.

If there was no current situation, Manchester City fans would have been more interested in the FA Cup.

Because if Manchester City wants to qualify for the European Cup next season, the FA Cup is a way to achieve its goals more easily than the league.

Manchester City fans hope that the team can reach the FA Cup finals all the way. As long as they can reach the finals, there is a great chance of qualifying for the League Cup. Even if they lose the finals, it will be fine to just win the runner-up.

Because the FA Cup champion is likely to be the top four teams in the league, they have all qualified for the Champions League, and the FA Cup qualification that the FA Cup champion should get will automatically top the runner-up.

Manchester City fans were playing this idea at that time. At that time, the second half of the season had just begun. Although Manchester City's performance improved, no one would have thought that Manchester City would be so crazy next.

Now... since we have the hope of entering the Champions League next season, who still cares about the League Cup?

Even if they reach the FA Cup semi-finals, Manchester City fans don't care too much. They are even worried about whether the team's battle with Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-finals will affect the team's competition with Arsenal for the top four in the league.

Manchester City's head coach Benitez is now considering this matter very seriously - at this critical moment, Manchester City's situation in the league is very good, is it necessary to be distracted to play in the FA Cup?

Benitez's previous investment in the FA Cup was just in case - if Manchester City fails in the league counterattack, at least he can qualify for a League Cup through the FA Cup. Although his goal is the Champions League, as the head coach, he cannot always take it for granted, and he still needs to consider some actual situations.

But now, it seems that there is no need to continue to invest in the FA Cup...

Thinking of this, he planned to rotate in the FA Cup, remove all the main players, and give them a good rest. After all, it is very tiring to double the cheeks a week. The next away league challenge to Everton is very important, and it is not easy to play. He has to accumulate strength for that game.

Benitez's idea was quickly reflected in training, and he allowed players who were previously substitutes to wear yellow vests that symbolize the main lineup in the training game.

The players could see that the boss was planning to give up the FA Cup semi-finals.

The other players don't care. To be honest, their energy is also in the league and they don't care about FA Cup games or something.

But the glory is no longer there.

Just after the training ended and before everyone left the court, Rongguang stood up: "Boss, I have different opinions on your arrangement."

The players who were about to leave the training ground were shocked when they heard Rongguang's words suddenly appear.

Manchester City's coaching staff were as surprised.

They all stopped, stopped leaving, turned their heads and looked at the glory.

Benitez was also a little surprised, and he asked, "What are the different opinions?"

Rongguang said in front of the players of the team: "I don't think we should give up the FA Cup. I understand your concerns, boss, but now the FA Cup is already a semi-final. It's not that we just played one or two games, and there are only two games before the championship. I'm a little unwilling to give up at this time. The FA Cup has only two games. Even if you have to consume physical energy, you won't be much more. Physical fitness is not a problem at all."

Benitez was listening to Glory, but at the same time he was not watching Glory, but watching other Manchester City players.

He wanted to see how many people had the same idea as Rong Guang.

"There are only two games before the championship, why should we give up? We can no longer win the championship in the league this season. The FA Cup is the only one who has the hope of winning the championship. I don't want to give up this opportunity." Rongguang continued.

When he joined Manchester City, he said that he wanted to make Manchester City a giant, and the only way to become a giant is to win championships, which is accumulated by one championship after another

Therefore, no champion of Rongguang is willing to give up, regardless of whether the champion has a great value or not.
