Chapter 378 The ambition to establish a dynasty

Chapter 378 The ambition to establish a dynasty

This season's Champions League quarter-finals are all over. In addition to Manchester City being almost overturned by Juventus, the other three duels also had a lot to watch.

Although Leicester City, another Premier League team, fell to Bayern as expected, they also played extremely tenaciously. They lost 1-1 in the away game in the first leg and 1-2 in the second leg against Nan Da Wang. Not embarrassing.

On the contrary, it greatly exceeded people's expectations. In its first European war, Leicester City used its tenacity to leave an extremely outstanding impression on the entire European football world.

An epic showdown between Messi and Ronaldo started between Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain in the same half zone as Manchester City.

In the first round at the Parc des Princes, Paris Saint-Germain led by Cristiano Ronaldo slaughtered Barcelona 4-0 at their home court, just as it was destined in history!

This has caused many European media to exclaim that after Habubai lost his courage and MSN collapsed, Barcelona has fallen out of the ranks of Europe's top teams!

After Manchester City stepped on Barcelona and rushed to the top last season, does Paris Saint-Germain also have a chance to become the second one to eat crabs this season?

Just when the European media collectively badmouthed Barcelona, ​​in the second round at the Nou Camp, Messi led Barcelona to launch a desperate counterattack at their home court!

In the 11th minute of the game, and in the 26th minute, with the assist of his good friend Suarez, the Argentine King scored twice in a row against Paris Saint-Germain!

Suddenly, the entire Camp Nou was in a state of great momentum. Paris Saint-Germain was completely intimidated by the opponent's momentum, and the entire team's formation began to appear in a state of chaos.

But at this critical moment when Paris Saint-Germain's military morale was unstable and Barcelona was about to see the dawn of a comeback, that man stood up!

The King of Portugal used his indomitable fighting spirit, highly contagious mental attributes, and unyielding domineering momentum to completely take over the command of the entire Paris Saint-Germain. With the assistance of Di Maria and the vicious dog, Ronaldo firmly stabilized the situation. The military spirit of Paris.

And led the team to launch a counterattack in the second half. In the end, the historic Camp Nou miracle did not happen.

After Barcelona lost Neymar, a key player, and Paris Saint-Germain gained Cristiano Ronaldo, the smile of the goddess of victory did not favor the Barcelona people.

Five to three, Messi used a hat trick to restore Barcelona's dignity. Ronaldo also responded to his old rival with a hat trick and took away the place to advance to the semi-finals as he wished!

In the last group of Madrid Derby duels, Real Madrid defeated Atletico Madrid 3-0 at their home court with the perfect performance of Neymar and Bale!

However, in the second round at Atletico Madrid's Calderon Stadium, the arrogant Real Madrid suffered the most tenacious attack. In less than 20 minutes, Griezmann and Carrasco scored two goals for the home team.

Real Madrid, who originally thought they could easily crush their rivals and advance to the semifinals, suddenly fell into a very bad situation.

But at this moment, Benzema, who had not performed well in the previous round, unexpectedly stood up. Calderon's dreamy dance steps under the night sky touched the heartstrings of all the fans present. The score of one to two was predicted. With Atletico Madrid's Champions League journey coming to an end this season.

But this victory over a mortal enemy also brought the last Champions League game at the Calderon Stadium to a successful conclusion!

The twists and turns of the second round made all the fans who follow the Champions League games excited.

I haven't seen such a thrilling duel in many years, and there were several in a row.

I originally thought that there was not much suspense in the four games in the second round, but the excitement of the game made all the fans sigh. It was indeed a strong showdown carefully arranged by UEFA. The quality of the game was really good!

The war in the Champions League has come to an end, and the war drums of the five major leagues are ringing again.

April 20th is a special day for both Manchester City and Chelsea fans this season.

A total of seven Premier League games will be held today, and the highlight of them is the head-to-head matchup between Manchester City and Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

This game will also directly determine the ownership of this season's Premier League championship.

This kind of schedule is very good for both Manchester City and Chelsea.

There is no need to be distracted by the score in another stadium when fighting against opponents. If Manchester City wins today, Manchester City will win the cup. If Manchester City loses or draws, Chelsea can continue to struggle.

This way of deciding the outcome is more pleasant. After all, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Even the loser can comfort himself after experiencing pain and disappointment first. We have already worked hard on the court. Positive There is no shame in losing to your opponent in a duel and being awarded the championship.

Chelsea's players and their head coach Mancini are quite open-minded about the current situation. After all, there is a clear gap in strength between the two teams, so they are not too unwilling to be behind by so many points.

"If they win, congratulations to them. If they lose, we just do our best. It's that simple."

Hazard's speech was very appropriate. Even though he was still unwilling to accept it, in front of the media, the football king still generously expressed his congratulations to the final league champion.

Manchester City remained silent before the war as always. From Guardiola to every player in the team, they declined all pre-match interview requests.

A slightly solemn atmosphere has enveloped the entire Manchester City team since that morning.

This atmosphere did not dissipate until they completed the final preparations and entered the Stamford Bridge stadium to start warming up.

So under the flashing lights, the expressions of Manchester City players inevitably looked more serious, causing many reporters to talk on the sidelines.

"We are not like Manchester United. After all, this is the first time we have the opportunity to defend the Premier League championship, and it is still a six-point battle with a direct competitor. It is normal to be serious."

"Man City won't overturn today, right? Their strength is certainly no problem, but if they are too nervous, it won't be possible. After all, if they win, they will be the third team to win consecutive Premier League championships after the Premier League reform. !”

"Stop guessing, Manchester City will definitely win today's game. Didn't you see the squad sent by Manchester City before the game?!

Zhao, Kevin and Raheem will all play, how can Chelsea's defense withstand the impact of Manchester City. "

The reporters' comments and discussions were naturally noticed by the Manchester City players.

Sterling snorted and tried to appear more relaxed, but in the end, his slightly stiff face only showed a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Rahim, please stop laughing. It's better to keep your face expressionless and wait for the reporter to take a photo of you and publish it on the cover of tomorrow's horror magazine." Gundogan patted Sterling's perky buttocks. He pretended to be relaxed and joked a few words, but the uneasiness in his tone could still be easily heard.

Most of the rest of Manchester City's young players are like this. They either purse their lips and say nothing, or just find random topics for awkward chats. However, a few old players, such as David Silva, Yaya Toure and Kompany, need to relax. Much more comfortable.

Zhao Jinge looked at Mahrez, who was also looking a little nervous next to him. Without saying anything, he patted the other man on the shoulder and motioned for him to relax his body.

After finally waiting for the warm-up to be completed, before the assistant coach could say anything, Zhao Jinge called on the brothers to return to the locker room as soon as possible.

This morning Guardiola has led the coaching team to explain all the tactical points again, so after briefly mentioning a few things that need more attention from the players, Guardiola spent the rest of the time Gave it to Zhao Jinge.

The nervousness of the young players can obviously be seen in the coaching staff, but Guardiola still trusts Zhao Jinge as always. At this time, the communication effect between the players is much better than his unilateral persuasion.

Zhao Jinge was not polite when he saw this, and gave Kompany, the team's old captain, a reassuring look, and then motioned for his teammates to gather around.

"Okay, okay, why are you so nervous?! Except for a few newcomers, all of us are old people who have won the Champions League and Premier League championships! Why are you so nervous at this last minute!

Look, you guys, David and his group of seniors have a good psychological quality and are not nervous at all! "

Zhao Jinge's opening remarks made everyone subconsciously look at David Silva. The latter's glare at Zhao Jinge made them all smile knowingly, and the atmosphere in the locker room finally became lively.

“I used to be asked to inspire everyone’s fighting spirit, give speeches and so on, and I thought it was fine.

But today, things are indeed a bit difficult to handle, because it is also the first time for me to experience such a thing. It was the defending Premier League champion, and now we are really only one step away from it!

Just thinking that in ninety minutes, I will probably have to go around the stadium to take photos holding my second Premier League championship trophy, I am so excited! "

The laughter grew louder.

"Okay, let's celebrate our dream moment after the game is over. Now, I need everyone to cheer up and listen to me carefully."

Zhao Jinge gradually stopped smiling, the atmosphere was almost lively, and it was time to make the final mobilization.

"It's not easy to get to where we are today. We are lucky to have a great coach who brought us together from different places, and a great coaching team who kneaded us into a whole.

In two full years, from winning the Premier League championship for the first time to now being only one step away from defending the title, we have sacrificed a lot, much more than the outside world speculated, to get to where we are today.

Remember what I said back then?

We must embark on a road paved with flowers and honors. No matter how many thorns lie ahead, as long as we are united and able to make sacrifices for each other, we will eventually be able to usher in the day of success.

This is what I said at this time last year. Now there are flowers and honors. The outside world has begun to call us the new overlord of the Premier League.

Countless difficult battles have made the entire world of football aware of our strength. They said that we will become a great team and a team that has harvested countless honors, because we are a new Galaxy battleship, even better than Madrid's. That one is even stronger!

However, except for a Premier League championship and a Champions League championship, we actually have no other trophies to win.

I used to feel frightened by those glossy words of praise and the gesture that the whole world looked up to.

Because I'm afraid that we will fall in the midst of these boasts and illusory glory. Just at the last step from the top, we will just collapse and fall. In the end, we will gain nothing, just like the former Super Deportivo before becoming the European hegemon. It just fell apart.

Just like in our last game, we almost lost to Juventus. If it weren't for the thrilling comeback at the last moment of the game, maybe we would have played overtime, and the result of the final game is still unknown!

We may have been amidst the praise, no, the ridicule from the whole world, and rolled out of the Champions League in despair. As much praise as there was at the beginning, there will be as much ridicule later!

Fortunately, we have not disappointed each other or the fans. We have always known what we want and have worked hard for it until now. Finally, today is the day! "

Looking at the serious and excited faces of his teammates, Zhao Jinge began to increase the volume.

“Today is the day we are going to bring the glory back to the club’s dusty Hall of Fame!

I want more champions, and I want the title of Champion Reaper above us to be worthy of the name!

To change our personal resume, today, we want the whole of Manchester to shine with our success!

I have a dream. I hope that Manchester City will become synonymous with Manchester football. I hope that Manchester City's championship glory can surpass that damn Manchester United!

Manchester United has many Premier League champions, they have defended the Premier League title, and even had a unique three consecutive championships!

This is our goal, this is the goal we must surpass in this life, defending champion? Three consecutive?

No, no, no, this is not our goal, because this is what we will definitely achieve, not just three consecutive championships, or even four or five consecutive championships, we want to win more championships until we surpass Manchester United!

The fans will cheer for us and even those who are not our supporters will take off their hats!

From Manchester to the entire Europe, English football will usher in a new ruler in the true sense today!

Not a short-lived overlord, but a real dynasty!

And we will start from today, step by step along England, and move towards the whole of Europe and the world!

This is how we started! The beginning of our glorious history!

I firmly believe that many years later, when we reunite again and look back, we will all feel extremely proud! "
