Chapter 492: Winning the championship three rounds ahead of schedule and establishing the Manchester

After scoring, Aguero chose to celebrate excitedly, but Lin Quan was not interested.

When he first joined Manchester City, he was a guest at Stamford Bridge for the first time. He was once forced into a desperate situation by Mourinho's Blues. In the end, he relied on his difficult upside-down golden hook to tie the game.

But even so, after scoring such a wonderful goal, Manchester City still failed to win.

However, just two years later, Chelsea has fallen to this level.

Today's Chelsea feels like a piece of loose sand to him, with no fighting power at all.

Although Chelsea's lineup is not bad, the individual players in the team are also very strong. Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas, can you say that they are weak?

They are Lin Quan's teammates in the national team. Lin Quan naturally knows whether they are strong or not.

However, such a group of outstanding players, in today's Chelsea, act as if they can't play football. This can only be said to be a problem with the team itself.

Because the outcome was decided, Lin Quan was substituted early in the second half.

However, Manchester City's offensive momentum did not end. In the 78th minute of the second half, Courtois made a mistake and knocked down Aguero in the penalty area. Not only was he ejected with a red card by the referee, but he also gave Manchester City a point. ball.

Since Lin Quan, Manchester City's first penalty kicker, had been substituted, Aguero stood at the penalty spot.

Facing Chelsea's substitute goalkeeper who had no time to warm up, Aguero scored the ball steadily and completed his first hat trick in the Premier League this season.

Guardiola was very happy to see Aguero in such good condition.

The better the condition of the forward players in the team, the higher their confidence in winning will be when they face Atletico Madrid.

The order of the games, first home and then away, put them under great offensive pressure in the first round at home.

They must ensure that they score in the first round and get as many goal differentials as possible so that they can deal with it calmly on the road.

If Manchester City cannot score in the first round, it will be difficult to tell the game in the away game.

Just when Manchester City swept Chelsea 4:0, good news came from Leicester City.

Leicester City, playing at home, after Vardy scored the first goal, he received a yellow card because of a fall that the referee deemed to be a dive.

Since he already had a yellow card, two yellow cards were turned into one red and he was sent off.

After Vardy was expelled, the morale-boosted West Ham United took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, scoring two goals in two minutes from the 85th to the 86th minute, reversing the game.

Although the game there is not over yet, the game has already entered injury time.

Without its main forward and one less player, Leicester City would find it extremely difficult to comeback.

And once they lose the game, Manchester City will win the championship 4 rounds in advance!

After learning the news, on the bus back to the team, Manchester City players took out their mobile phones and watched the live broadcast of the game on their mobile phones, hoping to understand the progress of the game in real time.

"Get up there, don't let that guy shoot!"

"Will you be defensive? There is a missing person at the top of the arc, why is no one there to cover it?!"

"Oh, let me go, you dare to do something like this, this is in the restricted area!"

At the last moment of the game, the ten-man Leicester City launched round after round of fierce attacks towards West Ham United like death.

West Ham United, which had a numerical advantage, was actually suppressed within its own thirty-meter area and could not get out at all.

Looking at this anxious match situation, the Manchester City players were sweating for West Ham United, fearing that they would fall apart at the last moment!

No matter what you are afraid of, in stoppage time, West Ham United's defensive player took a reckless step in the penalty area and tripped Leicester City's Schlupp.

The referee awarded another penalty kick, and Ulloa scored in one stroke, making the score 2:2.

"What the hell, how did you defend this ball?"

“You’re ahead in numbers and you’re being beaten like this, are you going to play football?”

"Damn, this Leicester City is really lucky!"

Seeing Leicester City equalize the score, there was a wave of complaints from the players on the Manchester City bus.

I originally thought I could catch a mistake and defend my title four rounds in advance!

As a result, they didn't expect West Ham to be so useless, which made them happy in vain.

And from the looks of Leicester City, they don't seem satisfied with the draw.

After the goal, Ulloa immediately rushed into the goal, scooped up the ball, and quickly ran back to the center circle to prepare for the restart.

There are still 2 minutes left before the end of stoppage time. Although the two minutes are short, at the end of the game, the two teams have already scored 3 goals.

So in these two minutes, anything is possible!

"Boss, are you not worried at all?"

The assistant coaches were also sighing, but when they turned around, they saw Guardiola looking relaxed, as if he didn't care about the score at Leicester City.

"What are you worried about? There are still four rounds of the league, and we have a 9-point lead. Unless we lose in the last four rounds, who can steal the championship from us?"

Guardiola spread his hands and looked like I don't know what you are worried about.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, they suddenly realized: It seems like this is really the case!

The closer they get to the end of the season, the bigger their lead becomes.

Even if Leicester City wins every next game, there is no guarantee that they will win the championship, because if they want to win, it depends on Manchester City's face.

As long as Manchester City doesn't lose all four games, the final championship will definitely be theirs, and no one can take it away!

It’s just a matter of winning the championship a few rounds in advance. Anyway, it’s still early in the Champions League semi-finals, and Manchester City has plenty of time.

Leicester City failed to create a miracle in the end. After they scored the equalizing penalty, they failed to continue to expand the score. In the end, they tied with West Ham United at home at 2:2.

This score was very fatal for Leicester City. Because of this draw, they were opened up by Manchester City to a double-digit point difference.

Now, Manchester City's lead in the standings has expanded to 11 points.

There are 4 rounds left in the league. As long as Manchester City wins the next game, no matter what the score is on Leicester City, they will win the championship 3 rounds in advance!

The next game happens to be at Manchester City's home court.

Therefore, the outside world feels that the suspense of the Premier League championship this season is completely gone.

Even the last hope of Leicester City was killed, and even some betting companies began to close the market and no longer accept bets.

…

On April 23, the penultimate round began.

In this round of matches, Manchester City sits at home and faces the challenge of Stoke City, which ranks ninth in the league.

In view of the current championship situation, the Football Association brought the Premier League championship trophy to the Etihad Stadium and planned to present the award to Manchester City after the game.

Manchester City also made preparations early. The die-hard fans made slogans and banners in advance. Holding these slogans and banners, they came to the stadium and occupied the favorable terrain early, preparing to cheer for the team.

The Manchester City club also specially made a set of championship-winning clothes for the players and club staff. In addition, the club's chairman Fahim and the boss Mansour also came to the stadium in person, and even brought We have collected more than 10 million euros in cash and plan to distribute them as bonuses to the players when the team wins the championship!

Everything is ready, just waiting for the protagonists to appear.

In the Manchester City dressing room, Guardiola did not do any lengthy pre-match mobilization.

He just moved a few things from the team's honor room-three trophies symbolizing the Premier League championship!

Engraved on it are the numbers 2011-2012, 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 respectively, representing the time when these trophies were obtained.

Next to the three trophies, there is a pedestal for the trophy. There is a row of numbers from 2015 to 2016 written under the pedestal. Obviously, this is prepared for this season's championship trophy.

Seeing that these trophies attracted the attention of the players, Guardiola looked around and said to the players:

"It's time to reap the fruits of our hard work this season, rush out and get that damn trophy back!"

Without too much mobilization, a simple sentence has already made the morale of the Manchester City soldiers soaring!

"Manchester City!"

Lin Quan, who was wearing the captain's armband, took the lead in shouting after hearing Guardiola's words and was the first to extend his hand.

"Go, go, go!"

The players echoed loudly and handed over their hands.

…

"Come on, come on, Brother Lin and the others are here!"

In the stands of the stadium, several fifteen-year-old teenagers poked their heads excitedly and looked towards the direction of the players' tunnel.

When they saw the Manchester City players wearing sky blue jerseys, led by captain Lin Quan, walking out of the tunnel one after another, several teenagers shouted excitedly along with the equally excited fans around them!

"Brother Lin, come on!"

"Come on, Brother Lin!"

These people were so close to the pitch that their voices reached the ears of the City players.

Lin Quan glanced in the direction of the sound and saw Harland, Sancho and Foden.

Look at how excited these guys are, and those who don’t know it think they are the ones playing!

But it's not a bad thing that they have such a strong sense of honor and belonging to the club.

With them here, Manchester City will still be very competitive in football in the next ten years!

In addition to a few people in the stands, Mbappe, who is a few years older than Haaland on Manchester City's bench, was also very excited.

Because of his age, he didn't get many playing opportunities after coming to Manchester City.

Out of the desire to protect him, Guardiola is not willing to let him play too many games. He only arranges for him to come on as a substitute in some games where the outcome is decided, to feel the atmosphere of the Premier League game, and to accumulate some game experience over the years.

But today, in a battle where Manchester City is very likely to win the cup in advance, Guardiola put him on the squad.

This made Mbappé very excited. It was a dream for him to be able to play in such a highly anticipated occasion.

It is best if the team reaches a stalemate and cannot win the game, and then oneself can turn the tide and lead the team to win and successfully win the cup.

If this was really the plot, it would be perfect!

Mbappe was thinking happily as Guardiola shook hands with the coach of the visiting team and returned to the coaching bench to sit down.

He glanced at Mbappe, who was full of expectations for a bright future, and nodded slightly.

The reason why Mbappe was put on the roster was not to use him as a special player.

It simply allows him to be a member of the team and experience the atmosphere of winning the championship up close, so as to increase his sense of collective honor and belonging to the team.

This guy was transferred during the winter break, and his sense of belonging to the team is not as high as that of the young guys from the youth training camp.

Guardiola can certainly see Mbappe's potential.

He didn't want the genius he had worked so hard to cultivate to be easily poached by other wealthy families.

After the pre-game coin guessing, side selection, and team flag exchange, the players from both sides took their positions, set up their formations, and waited for the referee to blow the whistle to start the game.

April 23, 13:45 pm.

With the referee's whistle, the game officially started.

The moment the whistle sounded, Manchester City was like a tiger that escaped from the cage and rushed towards Stoke City with great momentum.

Stoke City had never seen such a battle before. They were all shocked!

Stoke City is currently ranked 9th in the league. They have no worries about relegation and no hope of winning the championship or getting a spot in the European competition. They are the kind of team that has no desires and desires.

It is definitely impossible to expect such a team to fight Manchester City for a championship that does not belong to them.

Of course, if Manchester City failed to show such indomitable momentum, they would not mind disgusting Manchester City.

After all, no one wants to be a stepping stone for others and watch helplessly as their opponents hold the cup in front of them.

However, seeing Manchester City's attitude, Stoke City people celebrated in their hearts. They had no chance today.

Manchester City's offense was very fierce, completely suppressing Stoke City, and even formed a siege on the opponent's goal.

Unfortunately, I don't know if it was because of their too anxious mentality. Several of their shots failed to pose a threat to the opponent's goal. The Stoke City people stopped against Manchester City's stormy attack.

Seeing the team unable to attack for a long time, the Manchester City fans in the stands became anxious.

"One in!"

"One in!"

…

The fans began to shout in unison, as if they heard the voices of the fans. Manchester City began to change their offensive strategy. Not only did they increase their attempts at long-range shots and set kicks, they also became more patient and calm during the offense, and no longer rushed. Shot.

This adjustment soon achieved results. In the 35th minute of the first half, Lin Quan took the lead in scoring with a long shot, knocking on the opponent's door.

After scoring, Lin Quan rarely chose to celebrate wildly.

He took off his jersey, revealing his strong muscles, and quickly rushed to the corner kick area to celebrate with a passionate slide.

The teammates following him followed suit and all slid to their knees on the ground, leaving imprints on the lawn.

Guardiola was also moved, rushed over excitedly, hugged Lin Quan tightly, and muttered nonsense words such as 'Good boy, well done, he is indeed my son'.

The Etihad Stadium had already turned into a sea of ​​joy the moment Lin Quan scored.

Countless fans were so excited that they forgot about it. No matter who they were or whether they knew the person next to them, they just hugged each other and celebrated crazily!

Lin Quan's goal seemed to have broken the inner persistence of the Stoke City players. After Lin Quan scored, the opponent's fighting spirit and defensive determination dropped off a cliff.

Soon Aguero, De Bruyne, Kroos and others scored goals one after another.

Manchester City completely sealed the victory and defended the Premier League championship three rounds in advance.

And this also marks that Manchester City has established a new dynasty in the Premier League!
