Before the 33rd round of the league that hosted his city rival Manchester United at home, Manchester City led second place by 18 points. If they win that game, Manchester City could win the championship six rounds in advance.
But they lost, losing 2:3 to Mourinho's team at home, narrowing the lead to 15 points.
Although the champion still has no chance of running, sooner or later, theoretically speaking, if Manchester City loses this game, they have to win two more games to win.
This 'theory' means that Manchester United maintains a catching-up momentum of winning streak. In the same theory, if Manchester United loses two games in the remaining games, even if Manchester City loses all the next game, they will still win the championship, which is nothing more than a bit of a doggy style.
That's it.
So theoretically speaking, there are many prerequisites for Manchester City to win the championship. But the established fact that Manchester City will become the Premier League champion in the 2017-18 season cannot be changed. Although Manchester United spat a mouthful of green and thick phlegm in the championship feast,
But the only remaining pursuit of the Red Devils this season is in the FA Cup, which cannot be changed.
Manchester City was postponed by one day because of the fierce battle in the mid-week Champions League. In the game the day before, Manchester United seemed to have lost all their luck in credit. The Red Devils were 1 by West Brom, who was at the bottom of the standings at Old Trafford at home:
0 defeated.
This is the true portrayal of Manchester United in the Premier League this season. Manchester City, who can kill both men and gods on the away game, can also lose to West Brom, who can kick anyone at home.
Lukaku spitted all kinds of cakes throughout the game, Pogba made various dribbling mistakes, Matic made a mistake in clearing at critical moments, and Jay Rodriguez made a fatal blow. On this day, they were all Manchester City people.
In this way, Manchester City only needs to tie Tottenham away today to lead Manchester United by 16 points and win the championship five rounds ahead of schedule (including a 31st round of make-up match)
However, Tottenham, which is currently ranked third, is not easy to play. Manchester United and Liverpool are above and below, with the difference between 2 points and 3 points respectively. Tottenham has not won in ten years, only two championships in twenty years, and two league cups.
.
The young and young men in Bailu Lane, from club players to fans, have long been accustomed to only pursuing rankings in the Premier League and only being a mess for the champion.
Win the championship, right? I won’t stop me, but don’t think about spitting at my doorstep, right? Manchester United can spit out fishy green, mine can also hang a cup.
On Manchester City, a large-scale Champions League Liverpool battle completely filled Guardiola's emotions, leaving almost no gap for Tottenham and the Premier League.
The Premier League is just a matter of playing, just waiting for Manchester United to send the championship. Anyway, Mourinho will never win all the remaining games, just like Manchester City can't lose all the remaining games.
The focus is still on the Champions League, even if there are 11 days left in the semi-finals with Rome, that is also the focus.
Manchester City was so heroic about the big reversal four days ago, but it also paid a very heavy price. The four generals of Febian, Silva, Stones, and Otamendi were injured and needed to recover at different times. The best situation was
Next, Silva is the only one who can catch up with the first leg of the semifinals.
So Lao Gua planned to lie down and wait for the crown to fall automatically, which was not decadent or shameless. Who made him have shameless capital?
But Zhuo Yang is shameless, especially in public, he has now confirmed the title of "piano, ball, and fist" and it is really unreasonable to win.
Just like treating his ignorant son, Zhuo Yang told Guardiola more from night dreams to meat that was squeezed into a bowl. Finally, he turned his back on his face and faced Tottenham and the remaining league opponents with a relatively serious attitude.
In fact, Zhuo Yang just wants to score more goals. Only by asking Lao Gua to agree to take the league seriously can he have a chance.
The injury is full of camp, but fortunately, Manchester City is considered to be very good this season. There is no choice for the central defender, Laporte and Lao Kong must stand guard, Walker has enough rest, and starts from the right back today.
Delf, who performed well four days ago, served as the left-back, and Debich, who performed particularly well, also had a helmet and armor, and he partnered with Ding Ding and Gundogan in the midfield.
The forward lineman Zhuo Yang started, and the left and right wingmen were Stirling and Sane who were sitting and watching the storm four days ago.
Uncle Bo, who has no desire and only wants to mess with him, has nothing to say. Only Son Heung-min sits off the court and Lamela starts. In fact, they start the same number of starts this season, and there is no question of who is the substitute.
In the 18th round two months ago, Manchester City defeated Tottenham 5-1 at home, and also achieved a season-long kill against all nineteen opponents. In the game, Tottenham's French national goal Loris and South Korean king Son Heung-min had an event.
After internal strife, there is no question of who is right or wrong, but since then, Son Heung-min's starting game has gradually decreased.
After 26-year-old Argentine attacking midfielder Eric Lamela transferred from Roma to Tottenham in 2013, she was originally the main player in the left midfield position, but she could hardly play last season due to a buttock injury that could not be cured for a long time and hardly played.
Son Heung-min suddenly rose strongly.
This season, Uncle Bo is whimsical and often pushes Son Heung-min to the center position, allowing the all-around Kane to retreat and hide. At the beginning of the season, the training effect was very good, but after gradually being figured out by the Premier League opponents, he was especially caught by Manchester City.
The left wing leaked, and he changed it back.
But from the left wing of the Trident, Lamela's impact force and pass transfer and ability to feed cakes is indeed stronger than Sun Heung-min. Xiao Sun's advantage lies in his direct attack on the goal. So Uncle Bo's choice between them is just
If you choose simply based on tactical requirements, there is no disgust.
But Korean fans don’t know the reason. In their opinion, it is that Sun Nanshen has been discriminated against. Korean fans like to bomb camps on the Internet, which is second only to Chinese fans. And they don’t have a wall to say something more convenient.
So, the mainstream social media was full of Koreans cursing Loris, Pochettino and Lamela, which was quite overwhelming.
Tell me, is Son Heung-min embarrassed now? He has to make a living in Tottenham.
If Korean fans say that it is a final say, Son Heung-min is now playing the left winger in Real Madrid and is wearing the No. 7 jersey. But in Real Madrid's plan for Ronaldo's successor, there are Hazard, Neymar, and Aubameyang.
Asensio, Sane, but he did not consider Son Heung-min.
But Lamela also has his own faults. His ball quotient is very high and his vision is wide, so he can always find fighter jets in time. But perhaps he is too superstitious about his own points, and sometimes he will do some completely unnecessary long-distance cross-transfers.
.
In the 4th minute of the game, Lamela took the ball from the left and slowly moved forward. In front of her was her old teammate Walker, but the corner of her eyes was aiming at the other side of the court to assist Trippier.
The two of them were separated by the entire field width, and there were four or five enemies and us in the middle. Trippier would never have thought that Lamela would pass so impulsively.
It's good at footwork, with accurate landing points on the low and flat air, but Trippier was cutting in the air without even looking back, and Derbych picked up the cheap.
Mercury pours out! Manchester City runs faster than dogs.
Derbych made a diagonal pass, Ding Ding made a straight pass, Sterling took the ball from the penalty area, and Zhuo Yang opened the distance from Colombia's central defender Sanchez in the left position, and volleyed directly to the air, hit the inside of the goal post and entered the net.
Chapter completed!
