Chapter 412: The Curse of Reincarnation

The match between Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City finally ended 0:4. The home team was in front and the away team was behind. Manchester City won a big victory at White Hart Lane.

After the game, there were no more reports of 'Manchester City going downhill', or 'Morris' injury will have a big impact on Manchester City's results', but all of them became 'Manchester City at White Hart Lane'. Crazy performance on the pitch', 'Manchester City continues to be strong in the league' and other praise.

Of all the compliments, Darren Bent, who scored a hat-trick in the game, was undoubtedly mentioned the most.

The British media have always liked to tout their players. Darren Bent is a pure English player and a member of the England national team. Now that he is doing so well, the British media reports can be imagined.

In fact, Darren Bent did well.

Not only the three goals in the game, Darren Bent has been playing consistently and steadily since the Premier League started in August, and scored 11 goals in 16 rounds of the league.

The three goals in this game also made Darren Bent's league goals equal to C-Ronaldo, who played for Manchester United, and tied for the top scorer in the Premier League.

To say that this season, C-Ronaldo is undoubtedly the best player in the Premier League. He has become the core player of Manchester United. The importance of Ronaldo at Manchester United.

As a full-back, C-Ronaldo keeps scoring goals in the game. So far, in the past 16 rounds of the league, he has helped Manchester United score 11 goals. This number is very impressive even for a striker, but pay attention The thing is, C-Ronaldo is a full-back. He scored a lot of goals in the game, all of which were opportunities of his own creation.

This is amazing.

Up to now, many football commentators think, "C-Ronaldo has shown the ability of a top international superstar!"

"He's amazing."

Manchester United manager Ferguson never stings praise for C-Ronaldo.

Now Darren Bent can catch up with C-Ronaldo's goal, which also makes the British media very happy, because C-Ronaldo is a Portuguese player. They don't like to see players from other countries outperforming English players. Although C-Ronaldo's performance is obviously higher than that of Darren Bent, at least in terms of goal numbers, Darren Bent has 'tie'.

Wansheng will also support its players. When a reporter asked about the goals scored by Darren Bent and C Ronaldo, he directly said, "At the end of the season. Darren will definitely score more than Ronaldo. More. I believe he can do it."

Two days have passed since the game against Tottenham Hotspur, but many people are still talking about it, because the two teams will meet again a week later. It is the quarter-finals of the English League Cup. Manchester Stadium.

Originally, Tottenham were hoping to make a difference in the cup competition, which is another way to enter the European competition, after reaching the quarter-finals. Many Tottenham fans are looking forward to the final.

But this match against Manchester City disappointed Tottenham fans quite a bit.

Even the Tottenham team was beaten with little confidence. It's like a comment from the media, "Tottenham scored four goals at home, how will the game be played in Manchester?"

Everyone knows that Manchester City will definitely not give up the League Cup easily, so Tottenham's prospects in the League Cup are not optimistic.

The League Cup match against Tottenham Hotspur is a week later, and Manchester City has not had time to think about it yet.

And before that game, Manchester City still have two games to play, the first is the league game with Bolton.

There is no suspense in this game.

In the last round of the English League Cup, Manchester City only played against Bolton, but Manchester City beat Bolton 2-0 with a set of substitutes. The games are not in the 'relegation plan' of the new coach Sammy Lee, just like Sammy Lee said before the game, "Playing against Manchester City, it is useless to rely on the team to perform well, if they perform poorly , we may take away points."

It's a pity that Manchester City performed quite well and Sammy Lee's team could only leave with a defeat.

Beating Bolton at home, Manchester City continues to set the Premier League record. Their unbeaten record in the league has continued for 55 games. Seeing Manchester City in such a good state, some media have begun to look at the future schedule, because they do not think that the average team has the ability Ending Manchester City's unbeaten run.

Aston Villa...Blackburn...

In the end, the media's goal was locked in the twentieth round of the league, Manchester City's home game against Chelsea.

The media gave this round two special meanings.

The first meaning is that if Manchester City wins this round, they will tie the Serie A giants AC Milan in the 1991/92 and 1992/93 seasons, setting an astonishing record of 58 consecutive unbeaten games in the league.

The second meaning is some analysis of the 'curse of reincarnation'.

The most worth mentioning is AC Milan's 58 league unbeaten record, which started with Parma (0-0) and ended with Parma (0-1), falling into a cycle of reincarnation.

There are several other teams that have created dozens of unbeaten streaks in a row, and they have fallen into the curse of "reincarnation" like AC Milan.

Dutch powerhouse Ajax went 54 games unbeaten after beating Willem II in 1993/94, but in January 1996 they were beaten by Willem II and the record ended.

In the Chinese League One, after losing to Shanghai Shenhua in 1995, Dalian Wanda was undefeated in 55 games in the League A. In the end, their unbeaten record was ended by Shenhua in Shanghai.

Following the cycle of the "curse of reincarnation", the Manchester City-Chelsea match makes sense, because Manchester City's unbeaten run began in the first league match against Chelsea last season.

Now that they meet Chelsea again, Manchester City's unbeaten record should end under the "curse of reincarnation", right?

It started with Chelsea and ended with Chelsea, forming a perfect reincarnation, and at the same time tying AC Milan's unbeaten league record, Manchester City should be very satisfied with the end of this record!

The media considers it an unbeaten record for Manchester City. Set a very perfect result.

But obviously Wansheng does not think so.

When a reporter brought up the idea of ​​the "curse of reincarnation", Wan Sheng seemed to be looking at an idiot and asked, "Are you telling a story?"

"Sorry, football is reality. Not a story. And you are not God."

"Also, as far as I know there is no 'reincarnation' with Arsenal, their 49-round unbeaten run started at Southampton and ended at Old Trafford, they are a Premier League team, if you follow the logic of your fantasy novels "The Premier League team can get out of the spell. We're also a Premier League team, so we're not affected."

Wan Sheng's statement immediately left the reporter speechless.

They didn't expect that this Chinese would be able to tell the history of football, and even the beginning and end of Arsenal's 49-round undefeated can be directly explained.

However, with a heart of "hoping Manchester City to fail", they still insisted on the "curse of reincarnation" in their reports. As for Arsenal, can escape the curse? Manchester City is not Arsenal! Surely they can't escape!

Some media thought gritted their teeth.

Meanwhile, Manchester City and Lyon have already started their final Champions League game.

Manchester City has been determined to win the first place in the group, so this game is tasteless for Manchester City. Wan Sheng does not matter how important the game is to Lyon or Rangers. He sent a full bench lineup for the game. The starting forward was only Giovanni Mauricio, and he also sent two youth players in the middle and back.

Lyon coach Alain Perrin was very happy when Manchester City's starting lineup came out.

This game is very important for Lyon.

They defeated Glasgow Rangers in the last game, so currently in Group E, Lyon ranks second in the group with 9 points, but they are not sure to qualify. Opportunity.

If Rangers beat Stuttgart, even if Lyon draws with Manchester City, it will be difficult for the two teams to qualify for the same points, because Lyon does not have much advantage in goal difference.

In short, this game is extremely important to Lyon, and they naturally hope that Manchester City can "release water".

Manchester City's "water release" is still very serious.

This set of all-substitute starters will not be used by Wansheng when they encounter a small club in the League Cup, and only in games that are completely meaningless to the team, will they play like this.

As for the post-match, Glasgow Rangers may complain that Manchester City is not serious about the game?

Wansheng doesn't care at all.

This game really means nothing to Manchester City. During the intensive schedule, he is "properly" rotating, otherwise how will the team cope with the Champions League, League and League Cup in 7 days and 3 games?

Lyon's performance is really bad.

In the face of such a Manchester City team, Lyon should have an absolute advantage, but in the actual game, Lyon did not play any advantage at all.

After that, Lyon was eager to counterattack, but was unable to score the goal.

Seeing that their team could not play an advantage against the opponent's bench, the Lyon fans at the scene even booed, and everyone knew that they were dissatisfied with Lyon's performance.

Fortunately, Lyon still has good players.

In the 79th minute of the game, veteran Glasgow Rangers midfielder Juninho took advantage of a free kick and sent the ball directly into Manchester City's goal to help Lyon tied the score.

The final game also ended 1:1.

After the game, the British media said happily, "Manchester City's second-tier lineup is no worse than the French champion!"

The French media criticized Alain Perrin. They believed that Lyon still had strength, but Alain Perrin made this team not play as strong as it should.

Needless to say, those critical voices, Alan Perrin is under a lot of pressure.

Lyon's luck is not bad.

In another Group E game that ended half an hour later, Stuttgart defeated Glasgow Rangers 1:0 at home, and finally got the points of this UEFA Champions League for the first time, which was barely able to keep the face of the defending Bundesliga champion.

The Champions League Group E matches are all over.

Manchester City has 4 wins and 2 draws with 14 points, and qualified for the group first.

Lyon won 3 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses with 10 points and qualified for the second place in the group.

Glasgow Rangers have 2 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses with 7 points. According to the European competition rules, they will automatically enter the UEFA Cup round of 32.

Stuttgart 1 wins and 5 losses, the European competition was eliminated. (To be continued ~^~)
