Chapter 159 We Are Champions 1

In the year of May 1, 2019.

Manchester.

Municipal Stadium!

There are still three hours before the start of the game, but at this moment, countless fans have gathered outside the municipal stadium!

This is the 37th round of the 2009/2010 Premier League, and Manchester City will welcome Aston Villa at home!

Because Manchester City is currently three points ahead of Chelsea, this is the penultimate round of the league. In addition, when Manchester City faced Chelsea throughout the season, they beat Chelsea 3-1 at home and 5-1 away from home. Therefore, in this game, Manchester City only needs to win Aston Villa, so no matter which is another game. What is the result of Chelsea's game on the ground? Manchester City will win the trophy of the league championship one round in advance!

Considering that Manchester City is very likely to win Aston Villa at home, and this is Manchester City's home game, the English FA brought the championship trophy to Manchester City and planned to give it directly to the home team after the game.

"Look, that's the car carrying the trophy." Some Manchester City fans noticed the car with the logo of the English Football Team and shouted.

This immediately caused a sensation, and the fans gathered around the car and cheered.

Some excited fans tried to open the car door, which scared the English FA staff in the car. Fortunately, there were police officers nearby. Under their 'escort', the car carrying the trophy was moving forward tremblingly in the flow of people. Fans will keep bursting with loud cheers, as if they had won the league championship.

Time passed slowly. Finally, the entrance began to check tickets, and the enthusiasm of the fans began to burst out as they gradually occupied the whole stadium.

"Manchester City! Manchester City! Our Manchester City! Oh, oh, oh, oh! Invincible Manchester City!"

"Manchester City! Manchester City - the most beautiful blue moon!!!"

When the Manchester City players came out to warm up, they received great cheers. The live broadcast led the fans to start shouting the names of each player. From their captain Zhang Yang to the second substitute goalkeeper who rarely appeared on the bench, they were cheered by the fans.

After the warm-up, the players returned to the locker room. They were full of red faces, which was exciting!

The sound created by the fans before the game made their blood boil. Thinking that they only need to win this game, they will be the Premier League champions, and many people are short of breath!

These include Sun Jihai and Richard. A veteran like Dunn is even excited and unable to help himself at this time. They also dreamed that before retiring, he still had a chance to win the championship. He had won the League Cup before, which has made them cry with excitement. Now, they find that they have a great possibility of winning the Premier League championship. At this time, the mood can no longer be described as excitement! This is a dreamy feeling!

"I never thought that I would win the Premier League championship." Sun Jihai said with emotion that he listened to the cheers and songs outside the locker room and was a little distracted.

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Brother Sun, not only the Premier League champion, we also the Champions League champion!"

Champions League champion?!

Sun Jihai is short of breath. Yes, who would have thought that Manchester City could reach the Champions League final! They will have the possibility to reach the top of Europe!

"It's unexpected that we are only one step away from the Premier League champion."

"Yes, it's like a dream."

Wright. Phillips's words aroused a burst of emotion from everyone. Everyone began to have a heated discussion, and some people even thought about how to celebrate the most memorable championship of their career after winning the championship.

When Van Basten came in, the players were talking happily.

He didn't say anything immediately, but cleared his throat when everyone was busy with what they were doing and the voice of discussion was lowered.

"Everyone knows the importance of this game. Aston Villa is also an old opponent. When I was not your coach, I heard the story of you and Aston Villa." Van Basten said.

Everyone laughed, and Zhang Yang smiled proudly. Van Basten's story between Manchester City and Aston Villa obviously referred to the 'shocking the world' game between Manchester City's eight-three massacre of Aston Villa. Zhang Yang scored seven goals in the game alone, which caused a global sensation.

"So, I won't say too much about technology and tactics about this game. There are only a few points that I need to remind you here." Van Basten continued, and he raised a finger. "One, you can't underestimate the enemy. Although I know that even if I repeatedly emphasize, there may still be someone will underestimate the enemy, I still want to remind you that if you lose the game because of your own enemy, or even lose the championship because of your own reasons, it will be you. The thing we regret the most in our lives.

Everyone nodded. Although they were very confident in defeating Aston Villa, Van Basten's words still made many people stunned. Are they really underestimate the enemy and too optimistic?!

"Second, be careful of Aston Villa's positioning ball. When defending, pay attention to Karu! Vincent, he is yours." Van Basten said to Compani. The latter nodded, saying that he would take good care of Compani.

"Three. Abanglaho's speed is very fast, so the rear defense line should be vigilant. The two sides are not allowed to press up at the same time.

"Fourth, Aston Villa certainly doesn't want us to win the championship easily. I believe you are also aware of this." Van Basten saw everyone nodding and continued, "So, this game may be more difficult. The important thing is how to score the first goal. Maybe the first goal will come later, but don't be nervous, and don't be impatient. Now, it is Chelsea who needs to be nervous and impatient, not us! We only need to win one of these two league games. No matter what situation we face, even if we are scored by Aston Villa, don't panic, keep confidence and calm.

In fact, this is also what Van Basten is most worried about. It is obvious that Manchester City's strength is better than Aston Villa. If you play normally, it is not a problem for Manchester City to win. However, considering the importance of this game, what he is most worried about is that Manchester City will play abnormally because of tension. You know, this Manchester City team Many people have no experience of such a heavyweight championship. They have won the League Cup this season, and even the first championship trophy of many players' careers.

Of course, there are still two champion stars in the team. Ronaldo and Zhang Yang!

Van Basten looked at Zhang Yang, "Zhang, you are the captain. You know what to do in this game."

Zhang Yang didn't say much, just nodded heavily.

There is no doubt about the importance of this game. If you can win the Premier League championship trophy, it will be the most important trophy that Zhang Yang led Manchester City to win so far.

"Five--" Van Basten looked at the players with solemn faces and suddenly smiled. He waved his hand, "There is no fifth. After this game, let's hold the championship trophy!" This is the reward you deserve for your efforts this season! Run to the champion, guys!"

"Champion!" Zhang Yang stood up, raised his right arm and shouted loudly.

"Champion!" Everyone roars! Their eyes are red and they are short of breath! This is a battle!

This is war!

The smoke is permeated!

The smell of gunpowder, it smells good!

The battle that makes men's blood boil!

At the same time, at Liverpool, Anfield, Chelsea's this round is an away game, where they will play against their last-round opponent Liverpool.

Compared with Manchester City's opponent Aston Villa, Chelsea's opponent Liverpool is obviously more difficult to deal with. What's more, even if Liverpool's record this season is not good, Liverpool is definitely an opponent that any team dares not despise at Anfield! This is the most famous Devil's Stadium in the Premier League!

"In this game, our opponent is Liverpool. This is Anfield Stadium. I've heard that it's terrible here. Some people say that Liverpool will have 12% combat effectiveness here!" Ancelotti said.

Hearing what he said, Lampard and others frowned and didn't understand why the head coach was "longing his ambition" at this time.

Ancelotti looked at the reaction of the players and then said, "But--" Hearing his 'but', everyone looked up and looked at him.

"But what I want to say is that no matter where it is, even if it's Anfield! We are here. We have only one purpose in this game. We must win this game. Ancelotti said with a serious face.

"Only when we win can we have a chance to continue to compete with Manchester City for the championship! After the game starts, don't think about the match between Manchester City and Aston Villa! Because, now, what we have to do is to play this game well! If we can't win Liverpool, then everything needs to be repaired!"

The situation faced by Chelsea is very unfavorable for them. If they want to win the championship, they must first win. It doesn't matter how much they win. The key is to get three points. Then they also expect Manchester City to overturn at home and can't take Aston Villa. In this way, Chelsea will have a chance. If Manchester City loses to Aston Villa, Chelsea will score the same as Manchester City. Considering that Chelsea is at a disadvantage in the win-loss relationship with Manchester City, Chelsea will only win in the next round. If Manchester City does not win, Chelsea can win the championship. If Aston Villa and Manchester City draw, then the next round of the league is also the last round of the season. Chelsea must win, and Manchester City does not win, Chelsea can win the championship.

In a word, in a word, the necessary condition for Chelsea to win the championship is that Manchester City will not win this round of the league and the next round of the league, and Chelsea needs to win these two games.

If Manchester City wants to win the championship, it will be much more direct and simple. In this round of the league, Manchester City only needs to win Aston Villa at home, so no matter how many goals Chelsea wins Liverpool, Manchester City will win the championship one round in advance!

So, Chelsea is really a back-to-back battle now, success or failure. Of course, if they win and Manchester City wins, then the championship trophy is still Manchester City's. However, if this is the case, at least Chelsea have tried their best and lost without regret. And if Aston Villa blocked Manchester City, but Chelsea did not seize the opportunity, then the Chelsea people would die of regret!

"This is my first season as a coach for Chelsea. Since this season, we have worked happily. I am very happy to work with so many excellent players. I am proud of you. I know how hard you are this season! The league championship is the best reward!" Ancelotti looked at his players and said seriously, "Boys, go and go to the field. This game is like a league champion!" Because your efforts and your hard work are worthy of any glory!"

Ancelotti's heartfelt words moved the players, and everyone felt that there was a fire burning in their chests.

"Champion! For the championship! We are the champions!" Terry raised his right arm and shouted.

"We are the champions!" Everyone shouted together.

At the same time, in Manchester, in the home team locker room of the Municipal Stadium, Zhang Yang also raised his right arm and said, "Champion! Glory belongs to Manchester City! We are the champions!"

"We are the champions!" Everyone roared together!

This is a war. It has been fought for a season and has entered the final white-edged battle stage!
