Chapter 1868 Shock! Guardiola's coaching position is unstable! ! !

Here, Manchester United defeated West Brom 2-0, which is a good start for the Devils' April schedule.

But the real good news comes from another venue.

Chelsea welcomes a London derby at home.

They faced Crystal Palace, who are currently ranked 16th in the league.

This is a game that must be won. After all, Manchester United is only six points behind them, and Manchester United still has one game less!

If you want to firmly hold the initiative to win the championship in your own hands, there is only one way, and that is to win!

But because the core players in the Chelsea team are all international players, the players are quite tired.

But you can’t tell it at first.

In just five minutes, Chelsea, playing at Stamford Bridge, scored the opening goal with Hazard assisting Cesc Fabregas.

Just when Chelsea fans were looking forward to victory, in the 9th minute, former Liverpool high center Benteke passed the ball to Zaha on the right.

As Ferguson's last signing, although he did not get a decent opportunity at Manchester United, his return to the Crystal Palace was like a fish out of water, a crazy man meeting a thirsty beautiful young woman.

After a long drought comes dew!

He broke into the penalty area from the wing and broke the door guarded by Oblak.

But bad news kept coming.

In the 11th minute, it was Zaha's turn on the right to pass the ball and find Benteke who was grabbing the point.

The two passed shots to each other.

It took less than six minutes for Crystal Palace to take the lead.

Immediately afterwards, Crystal Palace launched a defensive counterattack... Well, it was the familiar squatting tactic!

For the next 80 minutes, Chelsea held Crystal Palace in their own half, suffocating them.

But the Crystal Palace is like a seaweed, swaying in the wind, but it doesn't fall.

In the end, he was shot 24 times and only conceded one goal.

As the referee blew the whistle to end the game, countless Chelsea fans shed tears...

"?General?: Woohoo, it would be great if we had Ye King!"

"Yang Tiancai, who loves to eat pork ribs with black bean sauce: Manchester United with leaves is 2-0, Chelsea without leaves is 1-2!"

"Bamboo Forest Little Diao@: Chelsea is completely in trouble, Conte's team can't withstand the pressure after all!"

Conte also looked helpless after the game.

He said the same thing as Mourinho, "The international match day has a great impact on the players, and we will make good adjustments..."

It's just that it's more of an excuse.

[The happiness of Manchester United fans is given by Chelsea! Manchester United is only 3 points away from one game less and will have a direct conversation in the 33rd round! 】

[Chelsea fan interviewed: Another day of missing Ye, it would be great if we were still at Stamford Bridge! 】

[Chelsea is still in the active position, their schedule is more reasonable, and there is no pressure from the Champions League and FA Cup! 】

Although this game narrowed the point difference between the two sides to three points, Manchester United still had to play Barcelona and Tottenham.

Therefore, expert media are also more optimistic about Chelsea.

Many people even hailed the "Manchester United injury wave" as the beginning of the "Red Devils collapse".

After all, this has been foreshadowed in advance...

However, after the contest with West Brom ended, Mourinho also gave the players a full day and a half to rest.

After the match between Manchester United and Chelsea, a crucial battle for the fourth place started at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal hosts visiting Manchester City.

Manchester City's performance this year is somewhat unsatisfactory. They are currently only ranked fifth in the league, while Arsenal is sixth.

It can be said that this game must be won!

Of course, the top four are Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham and Liverpool.

But at this time, Arsenal has already started competing for the top four...

After trailing Manchester City 1-2 in the first half, German defender Shkodran Shkodran Mustafi scored with a header to equalize the score.

It’s just that both sides are unhappy with one point.

After this game, Manchester City is still fifth, with 59 points, while Arsenal has 57 points.

Liverpool, ranked fourth, also has 59 points, but the goal difference is 27, 3 more than Manchester City...

The battle for fourth place in the Premier League is as exciting as the battle for the championship!

The pressure on Manchester United is naturally not to compete for the fourth place. After the players had a holiday, Ye Chen also organized some buddies to come to his home to watch the game.

Of course, Marven's home is very big.

Without affecting Lina's rest, everyone also had a good barbecue and played some games.

It can be regarded as relaxation under emergency preparation.

It was not until the afternoon of the next day that the rested players returned to the club for a pre-match analysis meeting.

Their opponent in the next round is Everton.

Speaking of Everton, it can be said to be the victim of Manchester United's coaching change.

Everton used to be a spoiler in the Premier League, often entering the European theater.

But after Moyes left, Everton also sank for a while.

After three seasons with Martinez, they brought in Dutch coach Ronald Koeman.

Koeman was a top star when he was playing football. He played in Ajax, PSV and Barcelona. He scored 193 goals in his club career and won two European Champions Cups and four La Liga titles. Championship and other important honors.

And he also helped the Netherlands win the European Cup in 1988.

Unfortunately, this is also the only major championship in the Netherlands in recent years...

Under the leadership of Koeman, the team can be said to be thriving and regaining its former glory.

Now it is only 7 points behind Arsenal, ranking seventh in the league.

This position is currently being competed by many teams.

After all, as mentioned before, the FA Cup and League Cup are won by wealthy clubs. As long as they reach the top seven, they can play in the European competition next season.

Although it is not the Champions League, as long as it is a European game there will be exposure and there will be bonuses.

Not a small sum for a small team!

Today's Everton lineup is also quite good.

Old captain Baynes, former England stalwart Jagielka, talented midfielder Barkley, Ecuadorian hero Enzo Valencia...

This Valencia and Ecuadorian "Yan Chengxu" of Manchester United are teammates in the national team.

However, Manchester United also put Valencia on the bench.

Well... Damian, who has never been able to play as the main force, found Mourinho privately and expressed his willingness to play.

Mourinho also put him back into the starting lineup.

The upcoming schedule is extremely intensive and rotation must start as early as possible.

Naturally, Valencia had no objection, and obeyed the arrangement, wearing the clothes of a substitute, and chatting and laughing with Lingard, who was placed on the bench today.

They are both right-wing players and their relationship will be closer.

This is a very difficult game for Manchester United. After all, the last time they met, Manchester United only got a draw at Goodison Park.

In the critical period of grabbing points, it can be said that every point must be fought for!

There is a key battle in this round, that is, Chelsea faces Manchester City at home.

Guardiola has been under huge scrutiny recently...

Originally, the team made a huge investment to let him compete for the championship.

But now they can't even squeeze into the top four, which undoubtedly makes countless Manchester City fans very angry!

The most important thing is that Manchester United is now competing for the championship...

Happiness is comparative.

If Manchester United is not even qualified to compete for fourth place, then Manchester City fans will certainly not be unhappy.

But now Manchester United is competing for the championship, and it is competing on the third tier, but it is difficult for their own team to even compete for the fourth place...

Who would it be, who would feel comfortable?

So before this game, some media headlines...

【Key battle! ! ! Guardiola's battle to prove that if he loses, his position will be unstable! 】

As a head coach at the peak of his career, when did Guardiola suffer such injustice?

So in the pre-match press conference, he also talked about Crystal Palace's victory over Chelsea.

At the same time, he also talked about the current form of the championship...

This approach is of course intended to increase psychological pressure on Chelsea.

But when asked if "the team will try its best to stop Chelsea and help Manchester United win the championship", Guardiola smiled, "We are eager to beat Chelsea for our own Champions League spot, not for Manchester United... Of course, it won't be long before We will be back in contention, I have no doubt about it!”
