Chapter 359 Chelsea’s disastrous defeat, the Ballon d’Or is coming

After the Club World Cup award ceremony, Manchester City took the trophy back to Manchester on Mansour's special plane without stopping.

As expected, outside Manchester Airport, Manchester City soldiers were surrounded by Manchester City fans who came after hearing the news.

This is Manchester City's first Club World Cup and seven-time champion in the history of the team, and it is also the first seven-time champion in the history of the Premier League.

This is a feat that even the Manchester United next door has never accomplished. How can Blue Moon fans not be excited and happy?

That night, Manchester fell into carnival.

This night, Manchester City fans all over the world are celebrating!

And the news that Manchester City was crowned seven-time champion spread throughout the football world immediately!

"This is a seven-time champion, so awesome!"

"Congratulations to Manchester City for being crowned seven-time champions, and congratulations to Lin Huang and Gua Tu for unlocking new achievements!"

"Manchester City will keep up the good work and strive to have another one this year!"

"Haha, it's impossible, they have been eliminated by Newcastle in the League Cup!"

"Messi won the Ballon d'Or that year by virtue of his six-time crown, and then he got out of hand and won four Ballon d'Ors in a row. Could Lin be following Messi's old path? "

"Haha, don't mention it, it's really possible. Lin Huang's playing style is like Messi, and the honor he won will naturally be no worse than Messi!"

"I don't think so. In those years, not only Messi was strong, but Barcelona's own strength was also unique. Messi gathered the right people at the right time and the right place to achieve four consecutive Ballon d'Or awards.

Manchester City performed well last season, but their results this season have been ups and downs.

Coupled with the fierce competition from Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and others, it is much more difficult to win 4 Ballon d'Ors in a row like Messi than it was for Messi! "

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, Lin Huang is still young and has a long future. When he retires Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, he won't even have the Ballon d'Or in his hand!"

"Haha, maybe there will be more powerful players in the future?"

"I find it difficult. European players are now mass-produced in factories, like robots. They are comprehensive in all aspects, but they are not outstanding enough."

"Yes, there are really fewer and fewer creative young players in football. It is very difficult for these players who have been trained almost in a standardized way to reach the level of Lin Huang and Melo."

"Furthermore, Lin Huang is too young. Players over 18 years old will have no chance of surpassing him. As for players under 18 years old, when they are kicked out, I am afraid it will be four or five years later!"

The fans were filled with emotion. Lin Quan's unexpected appearance made the fans who were tired of watching Melo's duo feel very excited and excited.

However, when they think about Lin Quan's achievements at such a young age, they can't help but worry about the young players behind him.

With a mountain like Lin Quan standing in front of them, the pressure on those who come after them will be so great!

After Manchester City achieved seven championships, a topic that was discussed last year was brought up again - can Manchester City be promoted to a giant?

"With this seven-time crown, Manchester City can be promoted to a giant, right?"

"It should be about the same, right? At least in terms of honor, I think Manchester City's honor is better than Arsenal's. Since Arsenal is considered a wealthy club, there is no reason why Manchester City cannot be counted!"

"Don't make trouble upstairs. No matter how weak Arsenal is, they will still be a giant with 13 top league titles. Whether it is historical heritage or honor, how can Manchester City compare to Arsenal?"

"That's right, do you really think Arsenal's status as a wealthy club comes with free phone bills?"

Manchester City fans were very unconvinced, and then asked a question that made Gunners fans cry silently:

"Well said, but I would like to ask, has Arsenal won any championships in the past ten years?"

"Haha, Arsenal was indeed glorious in the past, but that is all in the past. Since the establishment of the Premier League, Arsenal has only won 3 league championships, only one more than Manchester City. As for the Champions League championship, Arsenal have not won it even once. Got it!"

"The past champions are also champions. Manchester City should not compare with Arsenal, but with Chelsea. Chelsea was promoted to a giant after winning three league titles and a Champions League."

Everyone was arguing, but no one could convince anyone.

However, if according to Chelsea's standards, then Manchester City may only be one league championship trophy away from becoming a giant.

But whether it was the quarreling fans or the major clubs in the Premier League, they were generally very shocked and worried after learning that Manchester City was crowned the seven-time champion.

How difficult is it to fight to the end on all fronts and win the championship? Manchester United, who have tried countless times, has the best say!

Not to mention anything else, just winning the Premier League and Champions League trophies at the same time is already as difficult as reaching heaven!

Most teams can only focus on one of the competitions, either doing their best to protect the league, or giving up the league and striving for the Champions League.

Only a few top clubs like Royal Saren and Manchester United can exert force on multiple fronts at the same time.

But even so, the probability of overturning is still very high, and everything will be lost if you are not careful.

Manchester United has won the Champions League twice and is even the first team in the five major leagues to complete the Triple Crown.

However, in the 1998-1999 season, they lost the League Cup, Community Shield and European Super Cup.

They didn't even win the FA Cup in the 2007-2008 season.

Before Manchester City, there were only three teams in the entire football world that had achieved the Triple Crown, namely Manchester United in the 1998-99 season, Barcelona in the 08-09 season and Inter Milan in the 2009-10 season.

In the 12-13 season, Bayern had a great chance of winning the Triple Crown, but they were eliminated by Werder Bremen in the German Cup and unfortunately missed this opportunity.

Even Real Madrid and Bayern failed to complete the Triple Crown, which shows how difficult it is.

As for the six crowns, only Cosmos Barcelona has achieved it in the entire football world, and the difficulty is even more difficult than climbing to the sky.

It is precisely because of this that Manchester City's seven-time champion has such a huge shock to the Premier League teams.

Although there is still controversy among fans and the football community as to whether Manchester City is a giant, if they continue to develop at this pace, it will only be a matter of time before Manchester City is promoted to a giant.

Especially when they signed Lin Quan and Guardiola one after another, with the full support of the Abu Dhabi consortium, and with Lin Quan and Guardiola in charge, Manchester City's future is bright!

This may be a blessing for the fans, but it is definitely not a blessing for other Premier League teams.

Therefore, they reached a tacit agreement to go all out to stop Manchester City.

On January 2, in the 20th round of the Premier League, Manchester City faced Sunderland at home.

Before the game, Sunderland's head coach made harsh words, saying that he wanted to weigh the seven-time champion.

Such words, if put in normal terms, may be considered as the other party's overestimation.

What qualifications does Black Cat Sunderland have to weigh in on Manchester City?

The strength of the two teams is not at the same level at all. When Manchester City met Sunderland, it was polite to allow two goals when they went all out!

This time, however, the situation was very unfavorable for Manchester City.

Although the main players returned overnight after winning the Club World Cup, the consumption of the game and the fatigue of the journey left the main players in poor condition.

In order to avoid unexpected injuries caused by players playing in such tired conditions, Guardiola still used a pure substitute lineup in this game.

However, only 7 minutes into the game, Manchester City players sent a red dot package in the penalty area, making Manchester City's home defense battle extremely difficult.

Adam Johnson, a player who briefly played for Manchester City, steadily scored the penalty kick to help the team take the lead on the road!

Manchester City, who were forced to fight with 10 men, scored a goal from Nasri in the middle of the game and temporarily equalized the score.

However, in the 68th minute of the second half, Sunderland's No. 8 Rodwell scored a goal during the chaos to help the Black Cats take the lead again.

Coincidentally, Rodwell is also a former Manchester City player.

He moved to Sunderland last summer for 12.6 million euros, but unexpectedly killed his old club when he returned to the Etihad Stadium for the first time.

In the end, with the counterattack of the two old players, Manchester City lost 1:2 at home to visiting Sunderland.

Sunderland's head coach completed his pre-match rhetoric and poured cold water on the heads of Manchester City fans with a defeat.

Tell them: The happy time has passed, now it's time to welcome the darkness!

The news of Sunderland's defeat at the Etihad Stadium immediately became the headlines of major news media after the game.

The victory of the weak against the strong is a story that is talked about by the general public, not to mention that the object of the upset was Manchester City, which had just won the seventh crown and was extremely glorious.

The major media's previous praise of Manchester City has now turned into a boomerang, becoming a tool for fans of other teams to ridicule Manchester City.

"Haha, in the morning, the major media were still hyping up Manchester City's seven-time champion. But in the evening, the major media changed again and began to criticize and criticize Manchester City. It's interesting, it's really interesting!"

"If you don't believe in the moral integrity of the media, you might as well believe that a sow can climb a tree!"

There are also some fans who can't stand it. It's you media who praise Manchester City, and it's you who belittle Manchester City.

In order to increase sales, I really don’t even want to lose face!

Manchester City's upset loss made Chelsea fans ecstatic.

They feel like their chance has come!

As long as Chelsea wins this round, the point difference between the two sides can be widened to 6 points!

With the schedule already halfway through, the six-point gap is very big!

Perhaps Chelsea's championship this year will depend on three points from this game!

However, as great as the hope is, there is also great disappointment.

When Chelsea fans all agreed that their team could defeat their opponents, Tottenham gave up!

Although Tottenham is not a wealthy club, we are still the leader among the second-tier teams!

Chelsea is very strong, but not so strong that they can dominate Tottenham!

What's more, this game is still being played at Tottenham's home court. Why does Chelsea think it will win?

I really thought you were Manchester City!

As a result, Tottenham and Chelsea had a vigorous offensive battle at their home court.

When Chelsea scored first, Tottenham scored 4 goals in a row in 20 minutes under the leadership of Kane, leaving Chelsea confused and unable to find their way!

Chelsea fans were all dumbfounded: Is this still the same Tottenham that Manchester City was riding on its head to dominate?

Why do you feel that they are so fierce, so fierce that the Blues themselves are going to suffer a tragedy?

Tottenham have suffered disastrous defeats almost every time they encountered Manchester City in the past few seasons, conceding an average of 5.5 goals, and they have completely become Manchester City's toys.

However, this toy is really terrifying when it turns violent. Chelsea has never seen a team with such ferocious offensive firepower this season.

Even Manchester City couldn't score 4 goals in 20 minutes!

Under Tottenham's onslaught, Chelsea's defense was as fragile as tofu, completely reduced to decoration and shattered at the touch of a touch!

After ninety minutes, the score on the court was fixed at 5:3.

Tottenham gave the leader a disastrous defeat and defended their glory with a hearty victory!

Chelsea, who was massacred, failed to successfully widen the score gap, but instead allowed other teams to see their weaknesses.

After this battle, Harry Kane's net worth soared from the original 5.5 million euros to 50 million euros. The increase in net worth was astonishing.

And he also replaced Wilshere and others and became the new British Emperor Star!

Sure enough, the British are professionals when it comes to making stars.

And some people have really been fooled, because now during the transfer window during the winter break, after seeing Harry Kane's outstanding performance in this game, the Red Devils and Manchester United immediately submitted an offer of 50 million pounds to take Kane. En was brought to Manchester United to replace Wayne Rooney, who was in declining form.

Surprisingly, however, Kane refused to leave White Hart Lane.

Kane, who was born in Tottenham's youth training camp, has a deep affection for Tottenham.

He wants to win a championship for the team before considering leaving.

This choice made Tottenham fans extremely grateful. The club's chairman Wiese immediately contacted Kane's agent to seek a salary increase and a contract extension.

…

Chelsea's unexpected defeat allowed Manchester City, which had been criticized by the media, to breathe a sigh of relief.

After Chelsea suffered a disastrous defeat at Tottenham's feet, the media criticized Chelsea one after another, criticized Mourinho for being arrogant, not taking Tottenham seriously, and so on.

As for Manchester City, which had been criticized before, no one paid attention to it at this time.

After all, compared with Manchester City who played with a full bench and then lost, Chelsea's defeat was more difficult to accept.

Therefore, in a relatively relaxed environment, Manchester City slowly and methodically restored the team's form.

On January 4, after three days of recuperating, in the third round of the FA Cup, Manchester City at home played their best and defeated Sheffield Wednesday with a score of 4:1, advancing to the next round with their heads high.

In this game, the entire Manchester City team was in very good condition, especially Lin Quan.

In this game, Lin Quan completed a hat trick in just half time, killing the suspense of the game early and turning the subsequent games into garbage time.

The Golden Globe Awards ceremony is approaching, and Lin Quan used such a hat trick to show the world that he is in excellent condition.

He's got the Golden Globe Award!
