"Sky Sports" predicted Manchester City's end of the season: "Manchester City's early announcement of what they will do in the cup seems to be a good choice."
"They avoid the heat of the league."
"But the problem is, do they think they are in the middle of the league now and will be in the middle of the league in March and April?"
"They underestimated the intensity of the second half of the Premier League."
"When they are fighting for relegation in March and April, the FA Cup will become a burden for them. By then they will be in a difficult position and there is a high probability of collapse on multiple fronts."
"This is caused by the unfamiliarity with the Premier League. Maxa has great ideas and a high level of coaching, but it is a pity that he has never been to the Premier League before."
Why don't Tottenham, Everton, and a series of mid-tier Premier League teams focus on cup competitions like Manchester City?
Because there is actually no such thing as a mid-table team in the Premier League.
This is a league where relegation teams can defeat Arsenal and Manchester United.
As long as the mid-range teams relax their vigilance, they may become relegation teams.
Not even talking about relegation teams.
Tottenham also look like a mid-table team in the Premier League.
But they are just six points behind fourth-placed Chelsea.
They are only nine points away from second place Manchester United!
Theoretically, Tottenham even have a chance to enter the Champions League!
Such Tottenham dare not say that they are distracted from the cup competition.
As a result, if Manchester City thinks that their league is safe and goes to the cup competition, they will definitely be punished in the end.
On January 8, the first leg of the English League Cup semi-finals started.
Liverpool made appropriate rotations in this situation.
Because they dropped to eighth place in the league.
You know, this is a team that people think has a chance to win the Premier League championship.
The power of the devil's schedule is evident.
In the end, Liverpool defeated Manchester City 3-2 at home.
Manchester City, which went all out, encountered a hard nut for the first time.
The uncertainty of the cup competition is starting to set in.
Manchester City's shortcomings of strong offense and weak defense are also clearly reflected.
With such an unstable team playing in an even more unstable cup competition, how could you dare to set the goal of winning the championship?
That’s outrageous!
…
"The Times": "Manchester City's opportunism has been sanctioned! Football is round, you can't win just because you want to!"
"Echo": "Although Liverpool's game in the league is very anxious, and their performance can even be described as struggling, they are still in better shape than Manchester City!"
"Essentially, Liverpool are a championship-level team and Manchester City are a mid-table team."
"bbc": "For Manchester City, perhaps the only consolation is that the next round of the game will be played at their home court. But Manchester City, the home king, has lost many games at Maine Road this season!"
"Sky Sports": "Before the second leg of the English League Cup between Manchester City and Liverpool, they must first face Leeds United at home. It is impossible for them to maintain their best condition to face Liverpool three days later if they go all out!"
The English media posed a worldwide problem.
Manchester City fans' greatest confidence now comes from their home record.
Before the game against Liverpool, they had a home game.
If they lose this game, they will lose at home and their confidence will be dampened. Their mental state will definitely be bad when they play Liverpool again.
If they win this game, it means they are going all out, and then they will not be in good physical condition to play Liverpool next.
It’s uncomfortable no matter what choice you make.
Exit from the EFL Cup is inevitable!
January 11th, the 23rd round of the Premier League.
Manchester City is away to challenge Newcastle United, currently ranked third in the Premier League.
Two to zero!
Newcastle beat Manchester City easily.
Deng Kai sent three threatening passes, but Fowler failed to seize the opportunity.
When a genius killer is targeted, his performance will drop sharply.
He needs a better output environment, he is not the kind of player who can create opportunities.
January 18th, the 24th round of the Premier League.
Manchester City plays Leeds United at home.
Leeds United, which had topped the Premier League in the first three rounds of the season, is currently ranked 13th in the Premier League, which is worse than Manchester City, which is 12th.
Manchester City:? ? ?
After all, this is the result of Manchester City playing recklessly and giving up on the league.
In this game, both Robbies scored.
Robbie Keane opened the scoring for the team.
Robbie Fowler then quickly helped Manchester City equalize.
Franck Ribery made a free kick, and Deng Kai beat Leeds United with a full-moon scimitar, defending the dignity of Manchester City's home court.
After the game, 70,000 fans at Maine Road chanted "King of Home".
There is no doubt that they are targeting Liverpool, who will be here as a guest in three days.
A big war is about to begin.
"Sky Sports" defined the second leg of the English League Cup semi-finals as a "focus battle."
Not just because it's the semifinals.
Or is it because this is a sanction imposed by the "traditional English team" on the "speculators"!
Many people believe that Manchester City's behavior will make the league less exciting.
In the eyes of Premier League fans, the Premier League is the most exciting game, even more exciting than most games in the Champions League.
After all, most people only have time to watch football on weekends, so where can they find time on Wednesday?
But it is a pity that the always professional news of "Sky Sports" is not worth mentioning in front of the front page headline of "The Sun"!
"The Sun": "Jordan declares war! British porn star Jordan Katie Price officially announced that she is hunting Deng Kai!"
Katie Price, an English model and female singer, is an early Internet celebrity.
Her private life is regularly featured in magazines such as The Sun.
By one count, she appeared on news like The Sun's Page 3 at least four times a week.
This actress born in 1978 once had a mediocre chest and a mediocre career.
But after undergoing breast augmentation surgery for the sake of beauty and enlarging the cup size from C to D, her career immediately reached its peak.
She changes boyfriends very quickly.
The Sun has a private working relationship with Katie Price, so this news is a rare one that The Sun can ensure is true.
Soon, Katie Price personally responded to the rumors in The Sun: "I know the rumors that I am interested in Deng Kai have attracted a lot of attention, so I have an obligation to come out and explain."
"This is not a rumor!"
fan:? ? ?
Fans: Good job!
Katie Price: "I like Deng Kai's little adult look. I like this cute man who looks like a puppy but is a wolf at heart!"
"I knew a little boy like him needed some special motivation."
"So if Deng Kai can help Manchester City reverse Liverpool, I will reward Deng Kai by touching my... babies!"
After speaking, Price deliberately squeezed his breasts, and the meaning was obvious.
