"Missing the Big Ears Cup again, Ancelotti may be fired! "
"Barcelona VS Manchester City, who will win the Champions League?" "
Can Barcelona get revenge in the Champions League final? "
"The decisive battle on the top of the Forbidden City, Lin Quan VS Messi's active No.1 battle! "
"Guardiola led his team to face the Red and Blues for the first time after leaving Barcelona. The founder of the Dream Three Dynasty may personally bury the Dream Three Dynasty! "
……
After Barcelona defeated Real Madrid and entered the final, the major media reported on this one after another.
For the outside world, this year's final is full of highlights.
For Barcelona, this is a battle of revenge.
They were eliminated by Manchester City last year, and this year they are bound to avenge themselves in the Champions League final against Manchester City!
For Manchester City, this is their best chance to break the Champions League record and defend the Champions League title.
For Guardiola, this is the first time he has faced Barcelona on the European stage since he left Barcelona.
For Lin Quan and Messi, this is an excellent stage for the two to compete and establish who is the No.1 in today's football.
With so many things to watch, this game was already hotly hyped before the start. Tickets for the finals were sold to the sky by scalpers. Even though the ticket price was several times higher than the original price, it was still hard to find a ticket.
Fans who supported the two teams also started fighting online and offline early:
"My big Barcelona is not afraid of everything, and I will definitely sweep the Manchester City boys!"
"The MSN combination is invincible in the world, it's just Manchester City, wash your neck and wait for death!"
"Master, I watch the sky at night, Barcelona will win this year's Champions League!"
"The guy surnamed Lin dared to touch Messi. The final match will definitely make him realize the huge gap between himself and Messi!"
The fans of Barcelona, who had just eliminated Real Madrid, were full of confidence and arrogance. They all felt that their team was invincible. Wouldn't it be easy to win Manchester City?
In recent years, Barcelona has achieved very good results in the league and European competitions. In addition, there are top superstars like Messi in the team, which makes them have many fans all over the world.
As for Manchester City, although their record has skyrocketed in the past few years, it has attracted the attention of the world.
But the time for their rise is too short after all, and their background is far inferior to those top giants, so in terms of the number of fans, they are far behind Barcelona.
This makes the voices supporting Barcelona overwhelm the voices supporting Manchester City, both on the Internet and in reality.
But even so, there are still a large number of diehard fans of Manchester City, who stand unswervingly on their team's side and speak out for the team:
"Hehe, Barcelona fans really think their team is invincible? Have you forgotten who beat Barcelona at home and away last year?"
"The defeated generals dare to bark here. Others are afraid of you Barcelona, but we Manchester City are not afraid!"
"You have Messi, and we also have Linhuang. I admit that Messi is really good, but Linhuang is definitely not worse than Messi or even stronger!"
"Manchester City not only has Lin Huang, but also Guardiola. He established the Dream Three Dynasty. No one knows how to pass and control football better than him, and no one knows Barcelona better than him. He is in Manchester City and Barcelona. There are no secrets at all!"
Manchester City fans argued that Barcelona had just defeated Real Madrid and indeed showed a terrifying strength.
But Manchester City is not made of mud. In the previous battle with Bayern, besides Manchester City, who can resist at the Allianz Arena?
The fans of the two teams couldn't convince each other, and the well-founded debate finally turned into a scolding battle, and it was up to whoever had the most voices to win.
The number of Manchester City fans is not as good as that of Barcelona, and they were suppressed by their opponents without any suspense.
Neutral fans have no interest in the scolding battle between the fans of the two teams, but there is still more than half a month before the final.
Anyway, being idle is idle, and some players who know football have announced the statistics of the two teams in the league and the Champions League in recent months.
Seeing the data listed by the football masters, the people who eat melons were shocked:
"Barcelona's offensive power this season is really terrifying. They have scored 107 goals in La Liga this season, averaging 2.97 goals per game, ranking first in La Liga!"
After buying Suarez, Barcelona's offensive firepower suddenly increased.
The offensive power of MSN has been verified countless times in La Liga.
However, Real Madrid's BBC is not weak. After 36 rounds, Real Madrid also scored 107 goals. The two teams are evenly matched in terms of offensive firepower.
However, in terms of the number of goals conceded, there is a big gap between the two teams.
So far, Barcelona has only conceded 19 goals, while Real Madrid has conceded 34 goals.
It is this nearly doubling of the number of goals conceded that makes Real Madrid 4 points behind Barcelona, and the hope of winning the league is slim.
There are always people who say that with Enrique on the leash, Barcelona with the MSN combination can win any championship.
This sentence is a bit arbitrary. If it were true that the dog was tethered, Barcelona would not have conceded so few goals.
Just as everyone was amazed by Barcelona's terrifying offensive firepower, the data on Manchester City was also updated.
"Damn it, I thought Barcelona's 107 goals were terrifying enough, but I didn't expect someone else to surpass them."
Everyone took a closer look and found that Manchester City's goals in the league had quietly reached 112 goals!
Converted to an average of 3.11 goals per game, this data is not only higher than Barcelona, but also the best in Europe.
No wonder Guardiola dared to play against Bayern at the Allianz Arena. Is Manchester City's offensive firepower so powerful?
But in terms of the number of goals conceded, Manchester City is not as good as Barcelona.
So far this season, Manchester City has conceded 32 goals, which is still far worse than Barcelona's 19 goals.
"Although Manchester City conceded more goals, considering the intensity of the Premier League, this situation is not surprising!"
"Indeed, there are only two or three strong teams in La Liga, and it is difficult for Barcelona to face Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. When facing other teams, as long as they do not make mistakes, they can basically win!
But on the Premier League side, Manchester City has to face the challenges of Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and other giants. They have to play 8 games every year against the top teams, twice as many games as Barcelona.
Moreover, there is no winter break in the Premier League, and the Christmas season has to drive fast, so it is understandable to concede too many goals! "
Of course, the situations of the two leagues are different, and this kind of analysis cannot be absolutely objective and fair.
"Looking at the statistics, the two teams can only be said to be evenly matched!"
"From the perspective of the lineup, Manchester City's top stars are still a bit worse than Barcelona!"
"It is true that Barcelona have a stronger squad.
Linhuang and Messi are on the same level, and De Bruyne is obviously not as good as Xiaobai.
Suarez and Aguero are close, but Aguero has been injured more in the past season, and his performance on the field is obviously not as good as Su Ya. Considering the state of the game, Akun should be half a grade weaker than Su Ya. !
As for Neymar, to be honest, although David Silva is very strong, the gap between him and Neymar is quite obvious, and Maer should be half a grade stronger than him. "
"After such a comparison, Barcelona is much better than Manchester City in the frontcourt!"
"Yeah, after all, Barcelona's frontcourt should be the strongest combination in football!"
"What about the midfield?"
"In terms of midfielder position, Kroos should be better than Harvey now, but Kanter and Fernandinho are not as good as Busquets and Rakitic."
"I have objections. Even though Kanter is from a low-level league and his value is not high, I think this kid is more than that. Over time, he will definitely grow into a top superstar!"
"Guardiola doesn't like to use Yaya Toure very much, otherwise, the position of the midfielder can barely be tied!"
"As for the defense and goalkeeper, the two teams are evenly matched. Van Dijk has performed very well this season and may grow into a top defender in the future!"
Calculated in this way, the strength of the two teams is not much different. On the whole, Barcelona has a small advantage in the frontcourt, but if it radiates to the entire team, the advantage is not obvious.
Moreover, some people pointed out that because Lin Quan and Messi are super giants, it is a bit too arbitrary to roughly equate the two.
However, no one paid attention to his speech, which was quickly overwhelmed by a flood of speech.
Talking about data on paper is ultimately just talking on paper.
There are many factors that affect a team's combat effectiveness, such as injuries, physical fitness, and player status.
To truly understand the current true strength of the two teams, the best way is to buy a ticket and go to the stadium for field inspections.
Barcelona and Manchester City are doing the same.
Both La Liga and the Premier League have reached the 37th round of the league, and the next round is about to start. Naturally, neither team will miss this great opportunity to collect data and intelligence.
Therefore, after learning who the opponent in the final was, Guardiola and Enrique both sent scouts to collect intelligence on the other side.
"Compared with La Liga, what the Premier League has done in terms of fair play is a mess!"
The same league has entered the final championship battle. In order to ensure fairness, all 10 games in this round of La Liga are scheduled to be played at the same time on the same day.
In order to pursue ratings and maximize broadcast income, the Premier League actually divides the game into 4 days and 6 time periods. In this way, the TV station can broadcast different games within several days. People have to admire their business acumen .
Sure enough, the Premier League is fundamentally different from other leagues.
Other leagues are for the championship, and the Premier League is for making money.
"Chelsea and Manchester City both have hopes of winning the league championship. Under such circumstances, the games of the two teams are not scheduled to be played at the same time. This kind of thing probably only happens in the Premier League!"
"Manchester City's game is ahead. If they win, wouldn't Chelsea be under a lot of pressure in the last game?"
"Then if Manchester City loses, the Chelsea players will die laughing!"
City's game was scheduled for May 5, while Chelsea's was scheduled for May 17, with a day in between.
This arrangement puts a lot of pressure on both teams.
Especially Manchester City, who played first.
"Our opponents are just mid-range teams who have no desires and desires. At the end of the league, such teams are not difficult to deal with. Play hard, try to win them, and lock the championship!"
Manchester City is now 2 points ahead of Chelsea. If they can win Swansea, they can win the championship as long as they draw in the last round, because their goal difference is dozens of points ahead of Chelsea, and it is basically impossible to be overtaken.
But the premise is that they have to win the game.
For such an important game, the outside world thought that Guardiola would arrange the strongest lineup to play.
However, what shocked everyone was that in the game against Swansea, Guardiola used a large number of substitutes and rotations.
Yaya Toure, Milner, Navas, Lampard, Jovetic, Demichelis and others all got the chance to start the game.
Especially Yaya Toure, since Guardiola came to Manchester City, he has rarely entered the starting list of Manchester City. Part of the reason is that Yaya Toure returned to China to participate in the Africa Cup of Nations, which was delayed for a long time .
Another part of the reason is that Yaya Toure does not belong to the type of player Guardiola likes. When he was in Barcelona, Guardiola cleaned Yaya Toure in order to support Busquets.
Now that he came to Manchester City, he still did not choose to reuse Toure, which made the latter feel very upset.
He has already said that if Guardiola does not guarantee his starting position, then he will not renew his contract with Manchester City and seek to leave the team during the summer transfer period.
In this regard, Guardiola did not make a retention.
Yaya Toure can only serve as a substitute and rotation with Lampard. Lampard is a 36-year-old veteran. He is very happy to let him play as a substitute. After all, his current physical fitness and state do not support him as a starter. .
But it is a bit too embarrassing for Yaya Toure to be a substitute.
Yaya Toure is only 32 years old this year and is still in his prime. He can play for at least another two or three years.
If he is willing to retire in Manchester City, Guardiola would not mind keeping him.
But if he doesn't want to, then let him go, and let him get a big contract while he is still in his prime and can negotiate terms with the next player, which is good for both parties.
After the showdown between the two sides, Yaya Toure thought he would be put on the bench to spend this season, but Guardiola did not expect Guardiola to put him back in the starting list.
This made Yaya Toure very excited. Being suffocated, he wanted to seize this opportunity to show his strength on the court, so as to impress the new club in the future and let them recognize himself. the value of.
It's not that Yaya Toure is not strong, it's that Guardiola doesn't know how to use it!
Yaya Toure's efforts quickly paid off. In the 21st minute of the first half, Yaya Toure took the lead with this long-range shot and rewritten the score to 1:0.
Ten minutes later, Milner took advantage of a quick counterattack to score another goal.
Early in the second half, Lampard sealed the victory with a third goal.
Then Guardiola made a substitution to give some young players of the team a chance to play.
The opponent took advantage of this opportunity to recover 2 goals, which once again filled the game with suspense.
Yaya Toure stood up at the critical moment and scored another goal to fix the score at 4:2.
In the end, Manchester City won the game without any risk, defended their top position, and temporarily opened the point difference to 5 points.
Now, the pressure is on Chelsea's side!
The next day, Chelsea and West Bromwich Albion played.
Perhaps it was because Manchester City's win the day before had put a lot of pressure on Chelsea's players, leaving them without form and making mistakes frequently in the game.
Only 9 minutes into the game, West Bromwich Albion took the lead in scoring at home.
After the score fell behind, Chelsea's players were very impatient. Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas and others fouled frequently. The latter even got a red card in the 29th minute of the game and was sent off directly.
This time, Chelsea, who were already behind in the score, were sent off, and their situation suddenly became even worse.
And West Bromwich Albion also took the opportunity to attack aggressively, scoring two more goals in the 47th and 60th minutes, fixing the score at 3:0.
In the end, Chelsea lost 0:3 to West Bromwich Albion in the away game and completely missed the Premier League championship.
Affected by this, Manchester City won the championship one round ahead of schedule and successfully defended the league title.
It's a pity that their games have already been played, and there is no way to win the cup in advance.
However, the last round of the game was played at Manchester City's home court, and it seems to be a matter of seconds to win the championship trophy at their own home court.
After the game, Abramovich, who couldn't bear Mourinho, directly announced the dismissal of the Portuguese.
Mourinho's second phase of the Blues was far less successful than he imagined.
Every year at the end of the season, there will always be a large number of coaches who lose their jobs.
Mourinho was not the first to be fired. Before him, Ancelotti, who coached Real Madrid, had been fired by Florentino one step ahead of schedule.
In addition to these two top football coaches, Dortmund's head coach Klopp is also determined to leave the team.
Including Manchester United coach Louis van Gaal, who is believed by the outside world to be fired, at least four famous coaches will temporarily lose their jobs this summer.
This is an excellent opportunity for teams eager to introduce a high-level coach.
For a time, Paris Saint-Germain, Liverpool, Manchester United and other teams suffering from the lack of good coaches began to take action one after another, and started to contact these famous coaches first, and wanted to invite them to coach their teams.
And Chelsea, Real Madrid and other giants who fired their coaches also need a new coach to take charge of the team's coach.
Real Madrid chose to trust Zidane, the coach of their second team, and promoted him from the second team to temporarily act as the coach of the first team.
Florentino intends to see Zidane's performance in the last two games, if he performs well.
And if they can't find a better coach this summer, then there is a high probability that Real Madrid's head coach next season will be Zidane.
As for Chelsea, they look down on Ancelotti who was fired, and they look down on Van Gaal even more.
Like Liverpool, they also took a fancy to Klopp, who left Dortmund.
Klopp's youth storm is hugely attractive to these two teams that need to be rebuilt. He can rise with Dortmund, a non-rich team.
When it comes to giants like Liverpool and the Blues, why don't they take off directly?
As for Manchester United, they took a fancy to Mourinho, who was fired by Chelsea.
Chelsea's record this season is not bad, and Mourinho has already proved himself in the five major leagues and the Champions League.
More importantly, Mourinho has been recognized by Ferguson.
Manchester United, eager to improve their own record, did not dare to bet on the potential of a young coach like Klopp, so they chose the more stable Mourinho.
The dramatic changes in the team's coaching position will inevitably lead to a large number of transactions in the transfer market.
This summer, football is destined to not be peaceful.

Mourinho's second phase of the Blues was far less successful than he imagined.
Every year at the end of the season, there will always be a large number of coaches who lose their jobs.
Mourinho was not the first to be fired. Before him, Ancelotti, who coached Real Madrid, had been fired by Florentino one step ahead of schedule.
In addition to these two top football coaches, Dortmund's head coach Klopp is also determined to leave the team.
Including Manchester United coach Louis van Gaal, who is believed by the outside world to be fired, at least four famous coaches will temporarily lose their jobs this summer.
This is an excellent opportunity for teams eager to introduce a high-level coach.
For a time, Paris Saint-Germain, Liverpool, Manchester United and other teams suffering from the lack of good coaches began to take action one after another, and started to contact these famous coaches first, and wanted to invite them to coach their teams.
And Chelsea, Real Madrid and other giants who fired their coaches also need a new coach to take charge of the team's coach.
Real Madrid chose to trust Zidane, the coach of their second team, and promoted him from the second team to temporarily act as the coach of the first team.
Florentino intends to see Zidane's performance in the last two games, if he performs well.
And if they can't find a better coach this summer, then there is a high probability that Real Madrid's head coach next season will be Zidane.
As for Chelsea, they look down on Ancelotti who was fired, and they look down on Van Gaal even more.
Like Liverpool, they also took a fancy to Klopp, who left Dortmund.
Klopp's youth storm is hugely attractive to these two teams that need to be rebuilt. He can rise with Dortmund, a non-rich team.
When it comes to giants like Liverpool and the Blues, why don't they take off directly?
As for Manchester United, they took a fancy to Mourinho, who was fired by Chelsea.
Chelsea's record this season is not bad, and Mourinho has already proved himself in the five major leagues and the Champions League.
More importantly, Mourinho has been recognized by Ferguson.
Manchester United, eager to improve their own record, did not dare to bet on the potential of a young coach like Klopp, so they chose the more stable Mourinho.
The dramatic changes in the team's coaching position will inevitably lead to a large number of transactions in the transfer market.
This summer, football is destined to not be peaceful.
