Golden Greenery

A week ago, before the 33rd round of the league at home against local rivals Manchester United, leader Manchester City led second place Manchester United by 18 points. A win in that game would have given Manchester City a record six games to win.

But they lost, losing 3-2 at home to Mourinho's side, reducing their lead to 15 points.

Although there is still no chance of winning the championship, it will happen sooner or later, but theoretically speaking, if Manchester City loses this game, they will have to win two more games to win the championship.

This 'theoretically' refers to Manchester United's pursuit of winning streak. The same theory is that if Manchester United loses two games in the remaining games, Manchester City can still win the championship even if they lose all the games, which just looks a bit silly.

So in theory, 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 spits green phlegm towards the championship feast, the only pursuit of the Red Devils this season is the FA Cup. Nothing can be changed.

Due to Manchester City's fierce Champions League battle in midweek, the 34th round of the league was postponed for one day. In the previous day's game, Manchester United seemed to have used up all their good luck. The Red Devils were defeated 1:0 by West Brom, who were at the bottom of the standings, at Old Trafford at home.

This is the true portrayal of Manchester United in the Premier League this season. It can defeat Manchester City with great momentum in the away game, and it can also lose very wretchedly at home to West Brom who can be kicked by anyone.

Lukaku made various spits throughout the game, Pogba made various dribbling errors, Matic made a mistake in clearing the ball at a critical moment, and Jay Rodriguez made a fatal hit. On this day, they are all Manchester City people.

As a result, Manchester City only needs to draw with Tottenham in today's away game to lead Manchester United by one round to win the championship. (Including one make-up match in the 31st round)

However, Tottenham, currently ranked third, is not easy to beat. They are Manchester United and Liverpool, with the points difference being 2 points and 3 points respectively. Tottenham have not won a championship in ten years, and only two championships in twenty years, and they are two League Cups.

The old and young men at White Hart Lane, from the club players to the fans, have long been accustomed to only pursuing rankings in the Premier League and only serving as troublemakers for the champions.

Win the championship, right? I won’t stop you, but don’t even think about it at my doorstep. Spitting, right? Manchester United can spit out fishy green, and I can also spit out cups.

On Manchester City's side, a Champions League-Liverpool battle full of blockbuster colors completely filled Guardiola's emotions, leaving almost no gap between Tottenham and the Premier League.

The Premier League can be played casually and just wait for Manchester United to deliver the championship. Mourinho will never win the remaining games anyway, just like Manchester City cannot lose all the remaining games no matter how casual it is.

The focus is still on the Champions League, even if the semi-finals with Roma are 11 days away, that is still the focus.

Manchester City's great reversal four days ago was so lamentable, but it also paid a heavy price. Four generals including Fernando, Silva, Stones and Otamendi were injured and require different periods of recovery. In the best case scenario, only Silva can make it to the first round of the semifinals.

So Lao Gua's plan to lie down and wait for the crown to fall automatically is not decadent or shameless. Who gives him the shameless capital?

But Zhuoyang has to be ashamed, especially in public. He has now firmly established himself as one of the three masters of 'qin, ball, and boxing', so it would be outrageous for him to win on his own.

Just like treating an ignorant son,

Zhuo Yang told Guardiola that the meat in the bowl is considered meat, and finally made him change his ways and face Tottenham and the remaining league opponents with a relatively serious attitude.

In fact, Zhuoyang just wants to score more goals. Only if Lao Gua agrees to take the league seriously will he have a chance.

The camp is full of injuries, but fortunately Manchester City is well-equipped this season. There is no choice for the central defender. Laporte and Lao Kong must stand guard. Walker has had enough rest and will start at right back today.

Delph, who performed well four days ago, plays the role of left back, and Debich, who performed particularly well, also plays in the armor, partnering with Tintin and Gundogan in the midfield.

The striker Zhuo Yang started, and his left and right wingmen were Sterling and Sane who were watching the situation four days ago.

Uncle Bo, who has no desires and only wants to stir up trouble, has nothing to say. Only Son Heung-min is sitting off the court in the main lineup, and Lamela is starting. In fact, they have almost the same number of starts this season, so it's hard to say who is who's substitute.

In the 18th round two months ago, Manchester City defeated Tottenham 5:1 at home and also achieved a pass kill against all 19 opponents in the season. During the game, Tottenham's French goalkeeper Lloris and Korean king Son Heung-min had internal strife. It was impossible to say who was right and who was wrong, but since then, Son Heung-min's starting games have gradually decreased.

2 games After Erik Lamela moved to Tottenham from Roma in 2013, he was originally the main force in the left midfield position. However, he barely played last season due to a lingering hip injury. Son Heung-min suddenly rose to power. .

This season, Uncle Bo has been imaginative, often pushing Son Heung-min to the center position, allowing the all-powerful Kane to retreat and hide. This adjustment was very effective at the beginning of the season, but after his Premier League opponents gradually figured out the routine, especially when Manchester City seized on the empty left wing and missed it, he changed it back.

But from the left wing of the trident, Lamela's impact, passing ability, and feeding ability are indeed stronger than Son Heung-min. Son's advantage lies in his direct attack on the goal. Therefore, when Uncle Bo chooses between them, he only chooses based on tactical requirements, and there is no dislike.

But Korean fans don't know the reason. In their opinion, Sun Nanshan has been discriminated against. Korean fans like to bombard the Internet, second only to Chinese fans, and it is more convenient for them to say something without a wall.

As a result, mainstream social media was full of Koreans cursing Lloris, Pochettino and Lamela, which was quite overwhelming.

Tell me, is Son Heung-min embarrassed now? After all, he still has to make a living at Tottenham.

If Korean fans have the final say, Son Heung-min is now playing left winger at Real Madrid and wearing the No. 7 jersey. But in fact, Real Madrid's plan for Ronaldo's successor includes Hazard, Neymar, Aubameyang, Asensio, and Sane, but Son Heung-min was not considered.

But Lamela also has his own problems. His golf IQ is very high and his vision is broad, so he can always spot opportunities in time. But maybe I am too superstitious about my own strengths, and sometimes I make some completely unnecessary long-distance cross-pass transfers.

In the 4th minute of the game, Lamela took the ball from the left and slowly moved forward. In front of him was his old teammate Walker, but from the corner of his eyes, he looked at Trippier who was assisting on the other side of the court.

The two were separated by the entire width of the field, with four or five enemies and friends between them. Trippier never expected that Lamela would make such an impulsive cross.

His footwork was good, and his low-level sweep was accurate, but Trippier was unaware of the air-cut and didn't even look back. Derby took advantage of it in vain.

The mercury is pouring down! Everyone in Manchester City runs faster than a dog.

Debich made a diagonal pass, Ding Ding passed through, Sterling took the ball from the waistline of the penalty area, Zhuoyang opened the distance from Colombian center back Sanchez on the left side, met the ball and volleyed directly, hitting the inside of the goal post and then into the net.

1:0, Zhuo Yang scored his 39th goal in the Premier League this season.
