Chapter 609: Win This Championship First

?The battle of Tianwang Mountain is getting closer and closer.

Whether it is a QPR fan or a Manchester City fan, the mood at the moment is both excited and apprehensive.

This season is destined to write a strong stroke in the history of the Premier League. Because whether it is QPR winning the championship or Manchester City winning the championship, it will be their first Premier League title.

The situation in which Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and other strong players take turns sitting on the manor will be broken, and new forces will rise.

Although Manchester City has never won the Premier League championship, before the reform of the Premier League, they also won the top league championship, respectively in the 1936-1937 season and the English League in the 1967-1968 season.

But QPR is really poor and white, and their best result is the runner-up in League One.

After this round of the league, there will be a new team among the giants.

Just like Chelsea, wasn't it ridiculed as grassroots at the beginning? But after Abramovich moved in, he bought many stars, won several laurels, and immediately became one of the giants.

Manchester City and QPR also have money, have stars in their prime, and as long as they win the league title, they can quickly become new giants.

Therefore, for this opportunity, the two teams will not miss it, from the top of the club to the ordinary fans.

This is destined to be a fierce battle comparable to the Champions League final.

On May 12, at the press conference before the game, Simeone and Mancini were relatively restrained and did not add fuel to the fire.

Because there is no need for hype, the atmosphere of this game is already enthusiastic enough. Instead, they hope to cool down the players to prevent any players from getting too hot-headed and making mistakes right after the game.

"It's an amazing achievement that we can get to this point. Who could have imagined such a situation at the beginning of the season?" Simeone said, "We have overfulfilled our task. Of course, facing the championship, there is no People can be indifferent, and we will try our best. I am not kidding when I say that we have to replace 5 forwards at the last minute. But I also hope that the players and fans can treat it rationally. This is only our first season in the Premier League, and any result It can happen, and regardless of whether we can win the championship in the end, I hope the boys can learn their lessons and continue to move forward down to earth, and I hope the fans can continue to support us."

Mancini said: "This is the closest we have been to the Premier League championship. If we can't win the championship smoothly, I can't forgive myself. But football is round and anything can happen on the court. We will do our best, but also We can accept any result. Even if we don’t get what we want this time, there will be another time. In the next few years, we will all be strong contenders for the championship. So I hope the players can treat this game calmly and rationally.”

May 13th. QPR fans have been rushing to Manchester one after another. Although Manchester City only allocated 8,000 tickets to the visiting team, more than 24,000 QPR fans came to Manchester.

A large number of fans who had not bought tickets were stranded outside the Manchester City Stadium, holding up slogans with tickets, waiting for a miracle to come.

There are also many QPR fans who have given up. They simply organized outside the stadium and sang loudly, hoping that their songs could float into the stadium and inject strength into the players.

In the home team's locker room.

Mancini was doing his final mobilization: "We have already lost to them once this season. And this time, if we lose again, we will lose the entire season. You all know the importance of this game. I want to tell you What you have is that you are really great. As long as you put in 100% effort, the balance of victory will be on our side. In terms of overall strength, we are above QPR. But QPR has Ricardo, and he is a player who can change Players in the game situation. I hope you can strictly implement my tactics and stick to it no matter whether the situation is favorable or unfavorable.

Never give up until the referee blows three whistles. "

In the visiting team's locker room, after Simeone finished speaking, Ricardo stood up and lectured. "I know that since I announced the championship, you all thought that I wanted this championship very much."

After a pause and scanning the audience, Liccardo continued with a smile: "But you are all wrong. What I want is not this championship. What I want to do is to create a dynasty!"

The players' emotions were aroused, and some people were talking quietly.

Liccardo did not interrupt them, but waited quietly for a while before speaking again: "This champion is just a jewel in the crown. Brothers, do you want to join me to create a dynasty that belongs to us? Leave a huge mark in football history? Do you want to win countless glory with me?"

"Think!" the players responded.

"Then let's start by winning this game and lay the foundation for our dynasty!"

All the QPR players stood up, walked out of the locker room excitedly, walked into the tunnel with high spirits, and met the Manchester City players in a narrow way.

Manchester City players were also in high spirits and full of momentum. Players from both sides glared at each other and refused to retreat.

This is a contest between technology and will, and it is also a contest between momentum and fighting spirit.

The winner wins everything, the loser loses everything!

Manchester City formed a 442 formation today. The lineup is relatively complete. The goalkeeper is still Joe Hart, the defenders Zabaleta, Kompany, Lescott, and Clichy. The midfielders Barry, Yaya Toure, and David Shee. Silva and Nasri, the striker is the Argentine pair of Aguero and Tevez.

QPR also has a relatively complete lineup. The formation is 4123. The defenders are Maicon, Alderweireld, Vertonghen and Kyle Walker. The deep back is Thiago Motta. The double midfielder is Modric and Fee. Hernandinho, one is responsible for organizing and the other is responsible for interception; then there are Ricardo, Ronaldo and Alda Turan.

It can be seen from the selection of Fernandinho instead of Nainggolan in the midfield that Simeone still seeks stability in today's game, focusing on defense first and then pursuing offense.

Guessing that QPR won, Ricardo chose to kick off first. Ronaldo and Ricardo stood near the center circle.

Ronaldo started growing a beard a month ago and now has long stubble. He smiled and said to Liccardo: "Although I have won many championships, I still feel very uneasy now."

"Because we are making history and fulfilling our dreams," Liccardo said. "You don't want to retire now, do you?"

"Retire? It's still early!" Ronaldo showed his rabbit teeth.

"I want to play football with you for another 10 years." Ricardo said seriously.

"10 years...too much, let's say 4 years, until I'm 40 years old." Ronaldo laughed.

"I will be 30 years old in 4 years, and I will retire when you retire."

"No, you have to play until you are 40."

"I want to play football with you, Dadado."

"There is no feast that lasts forever. Don't talk about that, just win this championship first!"

"Okay, let's win this championship first."
