His celebration also ignored Torres and Drogba, two teammates who have a close relationship with Xiao Yu, and allowed the media to better speculate whether the conflicts in the Blues' locker room have intensified.
And Xiao Yu was simply happy for the team's victory and didn't care about what the media said.
In this round of competition, Manchester United actually lost 1:3 away from home again. This time their opponent was the Red Army Liverpool.
As a result, Chelsea, who have one game less to play, lead Manchester United by 16 points, which is basically equivalent to a 19-point gap. To catch up with Chelsea, Chelsea will need to lose at least 7 games in a row, while Manchester United will win 7 games in a row. Such a probability It only exists in theory.
Chelsea currently have ten league games left, while Manchester United only have nine. Under such circumstances, it is difficult to catch up. Maybe after three games, Chelsea can successfully defend the title 7 rounds in advance.
Let’s talk about other aspects.
In the past few days, Xiao Yu also received exciting news.
He received a positive response from the country, and the chairman's secretary Xiaoqi told him that his proposal for naturalization of talents could be considered.
Although the specific process will have to wait, secretary Xiao Qi encouraged Xiao Yu to prepare the list first.
At the same time, Xiao Yu also received a call from a familiar person in China.
Zhang Ning once again joined the preparation team of the national team and extended an invitation to Xiao Yu on behalf of the national football team.
Later, Gao Hongbo, the then head coach of the national football team, also called personally and sincerely invited Xiao Yu to join.
Faced with these invitations, Xiao Yu did not make an immediate decision.
After all, he was one of the direct victims of last year's Asian Games incident, and he is worried about repeating the same mistake.
However, when the chairman personally called Xiao Yu, his heart began to waver.
Although it was afternoon in London and late at night in China, the chairman still personally worried about this "little matter", which moved Xiao Yu deeply.
Through these phone calls, Xiao Yu learned that there were not many personnel changes within the domestic football association organization.
The chairman is not a leader who specializes in sports. He only uses his status to put pressure on the Football Association, retain Gao Hongbo's position as coach, and resume the recruitment of Xiao Yu and Wang Chu.
Xiao Yu understood that this was a special method for a special period.
Regarding the naturalization of foreign players, secretary Xiao Qi said that he only needs to find someone and leave other matters to him.
There is a domestic policy of "talents in special fields needed by the country", which is independent of the Nationality Law.
Before deciding whether to respond to coaches Zhang Ning and Gao Hongbo, Xiao Yu wanted to communicate with Wang Chu first.
Although he did not directly agree to the invitation, he did not refuse it, which made Gao Hongbo feel relieved.
Because the national football team's World Cup qualifiers will start in the second half of the year, Gao Hongbo also has enough time to wait for Xiao Yu's reply.
——
In the next two weeks, Chelsea will play three games in the FA Cup, the Champions League Round of 16 and the League, and two of their opponents will be Manchester City.
The first thing to welcome was the FA Cup quarter-finals in Manchester. Xiao Yu felt quite good when he came to the Manchester City Stadium again. The scene of wandering around the streets of Manchester with Elena also appeared in front of his eyes.
Ancelotti also made a large-scale rotation in this game, which seemed to give Manchester City a chance.
Mancini also smiled and shouted to Ancelotti before the game: Thank you Carlo for your help, Manchester City has the opportunity to reach the semi-finals of the FA Cup for the first time.

"ESPN! ESPN! Hello viewers, we are about to bring you a focus game in the quarter-finals of the 2010-2011 English FA Cup - Manchester City vs. Chelsea. I am the commentator Zhan Jun. , next to me is my partner Zhang Lu, Director Zhang.”
"Good morning, viewers, I am Zhang Lu!"
"The start time of today's live broadcast is a bit late. Players from both sides have lined up to enter the stadium. Let me first introduce the starting lineups of both sides. Manchester City, who are sitting at home today, are wearing a light blue uniform, and Manic has lined up a set 4-2-3-1 formation, goalkeeper No. 25 Joe Hart,
The four defenders are No. 2 Richards, No. 4 Kompany, No. 19 Lescott, and No. 13 Krarov.
The two defensive midfielders are No. 24 Vieira and No. 34 Nigel De Jong.
The three central midfielders are No. 42 Yaya Toure, No. 21 David Silva, and No. 8 Wright Phillips.
The single forward arrow is No. 32 Carlos Tevez. "
"Manchester City's lineup is geared towards victory, because Chelsea is currently fighting on the third front. Before the game, Ancelotti also said that this FA Cup match will use a large number of rotation players, which also gave Mancic a chance to win. Greater confidence."
"Well, yes! But I feel that this rotation is also a bit tricky. Let's take a look at Chelsea's starting lineup for the away game. Today Ancelotti arranged a 4-4-2 formation. Goalkeeper No. 22 Turn Boolean,
The four defenders are No. 18 Zhirkov, No. 4 David Luiz, No. 6 Van Dijk, and No. 24 Azpilicueta.
The defensive midfielder position is Brazilian teenager Casemiro No. 28, who is making his first start.
The midfield trio is No. 14 Wang Chu, No. 10 Toni Kroos and No. 13 De Bruyne.
The forwards are No. 7 Xiao Yu and No. 9 Torres. "
"This lineup can be said to be rotation, but it is mainly concentrated in the backcourt. The biggest rotation should be Brazilian youngster Casemiro, who has never proven himself on the court. As for other players, they are absolutely He is a very good player, and the five players in the frontcourt can be said to be the absolute main players of any team."
"We won't say much, the game has already started. The visiting Chelsea team kicked off first today. The Chelsea players wearing black clothes are more like knights. They want to control the rhythm of the field from the beginning. "
"David Luiz handed the ball to Wang Chu and passed it diagonally. Oops, Kolarov was in a good position and destroyed the ball before De Bruyne."
"I got a boundary ball right at the beginning. This also shows that Chelsea is still putting a lot of defensive pressure on Manchester City."
In the first ten minutes or so, both sides were almost making tentative passes and breakthroughs, and neither side completed a very good offense or defense.
Until the 13th minute, Casemiro intercepted Manchester City's pass in the backcourt, and then he skillfully controlled the ball in the midfield, watching all six directions, and accurately passed the ball to Wang Chu.
Wang Chu flexibly dribbled the ball from the left to break through, and then accurately passed the ball to Toni Kroos in the center.
Cross received the ball with his back, turned and pulled the ball to the right, and then passed the ball to De Bruyne.
De Bruyne reacted quickly and suddenly passed the ball to Torres. Torres nimbly passed Lescott's defense and shot!
However, Lescott reacted quickly and stretched out his long legs to block the ball from the baseline.
This attack started with Casemiro. Several Chelsea players showed their personal skills and tacit cooperation to the fullest, but it was a pity that the final shot was resolved.
