Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

March 27th, the 30th round of the English Premier League.

Manchester City will face Blackburn Rovers.

Manchester City fielded a lineup with only half of their starting lineup this time.

After all, they had just played Roma less than three days ago, fielding their strongest lineup and suffering an injury to Essien.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Blackburn Rovers are likely to be relegated this season.

Despite their desire to win on the field.

However, the disparity in strength between the two sides forced them to surrender.

Two to zero.

Manchester City also failed to dominate Blackburn while maintaining control of the game.

It's about controlling the rhythm.

The saying goes, "Don't pursue a cornered enemy."

Manchester City really can't afford any more injuries right now.

Moreover, they faced another tough battle as soon as they turned around.

FA Cup semi-final, April 1st.

Manchester City vs Liverpool.

Everyone knows Liverpool, right?

They were the team that ended Manchester City's 22-game winning streak.

Liverpool: It is I!

They were once hailed as heroes of Europe's fight against the Blues.

It stopped the rampage of the terrifying blue moon.

But in this match, Liverpool definitely suffered a backlash.

They conceded a goal early on due to a mistake by goalkeeper Dudek.

When Dudek launched the ball, Adriano dove to block it.

Adriano rarely puts in this much effort.

The ball struck Adriano in the back and bounced into the Liverpool goal.

Ultimately, this goal was the only goal of the match.

Liverpool's skills have reached their limit.

Their entire season has been prematurely ended.

Champions League, league title, EFL Cup, FA Cup – all empty-handed!

Although there are still eight rounds left in the league.

However, the gap between Chelsea and Manchester United has been widened dramatically by the top two teams in the Premier League.

One is the terrifying Blue Moon, who have not lost a single match in all four competitions so far this season.

One is the invincible Arsenal, who are currently unbeaten in the Premier League.

Manchester City have won more games and currently lead Arsenal by four points.

Both teams have equally daunting schedules ahead.

However, Arsenal has an advantage over Manchester City in that they did not expend too much effort in their early League Cup campaigns.

It did not cause any physical problems for the players.

Therefore, if there were progress bars for physical and mental fitness, Arsenal's players should generally be better than Manchester City's players.

However, Arsenal's advantage grew even stronger the next day.

Because in another FA Cup semi-final, the invincible Arsenal lost to Manchester United, who were third in the Premier League standings.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored the winning goal for Manchester United!

Arsenal go from three competitions to two!

Cristiano Ronaldo thus declared Manchester United's title aspirations for the season: "I know it will be a little difficult for us to do some things in the league, but it's not entirely impossible."

"And in the FA Cup, I think we have a lot to achieve."

"I've won the Premier League with Manchester United, but I've never won the FA Cup. I'm 200 percent hungry for any new honor."

"It's time for Manchester United to win an FA Cup!"

Manchester United fans are very excited about this.

After all, with two exceptional players this season, the FA Cup is the best reward Manchester United can compete for.

……

April 4th, the 31st round of the English Premier League.

Mars collides with Earth!

The undefeated derby is back!

Manchester City vs. Arsenal.

This match is crucial.

Three days before this match, the two sides had just played in the FA Cup semi-final.

Three days after this match, both sides will face off in the second leg of the European knockout stage.

Arsenal are heading to their city rivals Chelsea for a match.

Manchester City, on the other hand, will travel to Barcelona to reunite with their longtime rivals, Barcelona.

Neither side intends to give up in these three matches!

Sky Sports: "Manchester City and Arsenal are both in a difficult position; they absolutely cannot give up on European competition. But the honor of remaining unbeaten in the league, or rather, the Premier League title that it represents, is also very important to them!"

The Times: "Both Manchester City and Arsenal are walking a tightrope, it's a battle to see who's on the tightrope will snap first! Judging from the current results, Manchester City is more likely to suffer the consequences."

The Echo: "Arsenal drew 1-1 with Chelsea in the first leg. Manchester City drew 2-2 with Barcelona in the first leg. Their situations are both uncertain!"

Manchester Evening News: "Even without player injuries, such high-intensity, high-frequency matches would be difficult for even the world's top teams to withstand."

Record: "This is essentially a problem with the Premier League; the competition is just too fierce. Such severe internal strife will lead to their weakness in international competitions. It's possible that both teams could end up losing this match!"

Kicker: "Yes, regardless of the outcome of this league match, they could be losers in European competition!"

The media is very worried about the landscape of the Premier League.

However, media outlets soon pointed out that the Premier League has a very high commercial value and its champion is extremely influential.

Some media outlets also believe that the intense competition in the Premier League makes their league title as prestigious as those in Serie A and La Liga.

Basically, it was all sorts of nice things to say.

But if you look at the forces behind the media, they are basically the same few teams aiming to win the Champions League and the UEFA Cup.

They want Manchester City and Arsenal to fight amongst themselves.

Both teams have been incredibly strong this season.

The result was roughly as everyone expected.

The two teams fought tooth and nail for the championship throughout the entire match.

However, both sides played a very high-quality defensive game.

There are six or seven people when attacking, and nine or ten people when defending.

The fight was incredibly exciting.

In the 56th minute of the second half, Henry scored a one-on-one goal!

In the 79th minute of the second half, Toure took a long-range shot, and Deng Kai scored on the rebound.

A clash of titans has taken place!

The two sides ultimately drew 1-1 again.

The two teams have met twice in the league this season, and neither side has won.

At the moment the match ended, Wenger wore a bitter smile.

If they win, it will not only narrow the gap in points, but they can also use this good fortune to make a run for it in the Champions League.

But now, both sides are exhausted.

Grass!

April 7th.

London is a city that is sometimes cloudy and sometimes sunny.

Arsenal fans returned home dejected in the heavy rain.

Arsenal's heartbreak at Stamford Bridge!

Chelsea secured a 2-1 victory against Arsenal, a team they had never beaten in the league before!

Chelsea advance to the Champions League semi-finals!

After the match, when interviewed by reporters, Abramovich laughed and said, "So what if we're unbeaten in the league? We don't lose the unimportant matches that we can lose, but we have to lose the important matches that we can't afford to lose."

"I never believe there are any invincible teams in this world."

"If it exists, it's just that the time hasn't come yet."

"I've invested a lot of money in Chelsea, and they haven't let me down. Our goal is the Champions League title! I have full confidence in us."

"I believe that even if our opponent were Manchester City, who are even more formidable than Arsenal and unbeaten in all competitions this season, we would still advance!"

"This is called the Law of Conservation of Wins and Losses!"
