Chapter 950 Record-breaking

2-0! Manchester City finally defeated Chelsea at Stamford Bridge with Su Dong scoring twice.

As the Sky Sports live commentator said in his post-match summary, after Manchester City defeated Chelsea, the only thing that could prevent the Blue Moon from winning the second half of the championship with a perfect record was the legendary Christmas devil schedule.

Fifteen consecutive wins, which created the longest winning streak in Premier League football history.

Thanks to Manchester City's winning streak this season, the entire Premier League and even the entire European football world have seen their dominance. Guardiola has become a world-famous top coach thanks to Manchester City's outstanding record in the past year and a half.

In particular, the passing and controlling style of play he created for Manchester City has set off a trend around the world.

In the past, Real Madrid and Barcelona have played passing and controlling the ball, but that was more based on the strength of the players.

During the Real Madrid Galacticos period, Cruyff's Dream Team I, Van Gaal and Rijkaard's Dream Team II of Barcelona, ​​the teams all played passing and controlling the ball, but no team has ever caused so much discussion like Guardiola's Manchester City today.

In every game, the ball possession rate reaches or even exceeds 70%, which is an amazing statistic.

The key is that Guardiola's passing and controlling system is very stable, and even the players' own mistakes can be effectively avoided.

As the Sky Sports commentator said: "In today's Premier League, no team can stop Manchester City. I even think that if Manchester City continues to maintain this winning streak in the second half, we should not be too surprised."

"Manchester United has a lot of problems of its own, with problems in all three lines; Chelsea's locker room conflicts and team metabolism also have problems; Arsenal and Liverpool are still lacking in competitiveness this season, and Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle are unable to shake Manchester City's dominance of the Premier League."

After this analysis, the commentator finally concluded that, according to the current trend, if the other 19 Premier League teams want to snipe Manchester City, they can basically only wait for Manchester City to make mistakes or major changes to occur.

However, Manchester City still has many hidden dangers.

At present, Manchester City has reached the semi-finals of the League Cup. After the devilish schedule of Christmas, the FA Cup will also be on the schedule. In addition, with the Champions League knockout rounds starting at the end of February, Manchester City will have to bear the pressure of fighting on four fronts in the second half of the league.

When it comes to bench depth, no other team can match Manchester City's strength.

Especially after the introduction of players such as Aguero, Hazard, David Luiz, Leighton Baines, etc., Manchester City's entire bench depth has become very strong. According to the Times, Manchester City can even field two lineups to play in the Premier League.

However, the problems caused by fighting on multiple fronts, as well as injuries and ups and downs in player performance will become more and more serious.

Whether Manchester City can withstand the pressure in the second half, especially since it is the first time in history that they will participate in the Champions League knockout stage. Manchester City lacks this convenient experience and whether they can maintain the state of the first half is still an unknown.

But one thing is certain, there seems to be little suspense about this season's Premier League title.

At least, after fifteen rounds, Manchester City, which has won fifteen consecutive games, is nine points ahead of second-placed Manchester United.

If Manchester City can maintain this form through the Christmas schedule and winter break, the league title will be completely undisputed.

…………

After the match against Chelsea, the whole of Britain, Europe, and even the whole world were hotly discussing this key match in the Premier League.

But at the same time, Manchester City did not return to Manchester immediately, but stayed in London.

After washing up in the locker room, the players did not change into the team's uniforms. Instead, they put on casual clothes, boarded the team bus, and went to a restaurant near Hyde Park for dinner.

Manchester City will host their annual Christmas dinner here tonight.

So far this season, Manchester City has basically played two games a week without stopping.

There was a rare absence of matches between the 15th and 16th rounds, but then came the devilish schedule around Christmas. There were only four days between the 17th and 18th rounds, and Christmas was in between.

So, after much consideration, the team decided to schedule the Christmas dinner this week.

First, the players expressed their opinions in the locker room, and everyone basically agreed to have a dinner together. The focus of the discussion was the location of the dinner and whether there were any other activities to be arranged after the dinner. After having eaten at almost all the restaurants in Manchester, Gareth Barry suggested that he knew of a very good restaurant in London, near Hyde Park, and suggested that they go to the restaurant for dinner after the game against Chelsea.

There will definitely be no problem with that.

But after the dinner, these players who had a rare day off were so excited that they wanted to go out and have fun.

Joe Hart, Gareth Barry, Adam Johnson and others are all frequent nightclubs. According to them, a high-end nightclub in London's Mayfair is preparing a Cosplay theme event to welcome the upcoming Christmas. They proposed that the team go to this event for team building to try something new.

However, this brought up another problem, which was what to do with the recovery training tomorrow morning? Most people in the locker room agreed. After all, they had never played it before, and it was a collective activity for the first team. Everyone cheered together and became interested, so they all looked eagerly at Su Dong.

It's time for the captain to step up! Su Dong had no choice but to nod and agree to go to the coaching staff to apply for the original holiday of the afternoon and the morning of the day after the game to be adjusted to a full day off the day after the game, so that the players would have enough time to party all night in London.

When Su Dong made the application and gave sufficient reasons, Guardiola and the coaching staff agreed, and the management also approved it, saying that it would be shabby for only the players to participate. Therefore, it was proposed that the players' families should also go south with the team to participate in the dinner and Christmas activities together. All expenses would be reimbursed by the club, and hotels would be booked for the team.

It can be said that the logistics support work is really impeccable.

But Guardiola made a request, that is, the players should try not to drink alcohol and must return to the hotel to rest no later than three in the morning. Obviously, he was also afraid that the players would be too excited and affect the Christmas schedule.

Another thing is that I’m afraid that these crazy players will create some big news.

So, after the game against Chelsea, all Manchester City players went to a restaurant for dinner.

From the beginning to the end, Manchester City never worried about whether they could beat Chelsea, and never worried about whether they would be in the mood to participate in the carnival after losing.

This is actually a symbol of Manchester City's increased self-confidence.

…

The players' families were also picked up by the club's special car and taken to London early. After watching the game, they went to the restaurant to wait.

When the first-team players arrived, there was naturally a lot of excitement.

To be on the safe side, Manchester City directly booked the entire restaurant to serve Manchester City players, coaches and staff. Technical director Begiristain, who traveled with the team, was also among them. On behalf of the club, he thanked the players for their hard work and contributions over the past year. He also hoped that the players would continue to work hard and strive for a better performance in the second half.

Guardiola also spoke on behalf of the coaching staff, also expressing his gratitude, but mainly reminded the players that after dinner, they can have fun or make noise but must not cause any trouble, and also that they must return to the hotel on time.

Since he will follow Begiristain back to Manchester tonight, the task of supervising the players falls on the shoulders of captain Su Dong. Who made him the one to handle the whole thing?

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

After dinner, the players and their families went to a nightclub called Anaya in Mayfair.

Mayfair is an upper-class neighborhood in London, and Anaya is a high-end nightclub, so security and privacy are definitely not a problem. The nightclub also knew that Manchester City was coming, so it made preparations early, including providing a series of Cosplay props.

The nightclub was decorated in the style of a horror house, which looked quite eerie, especially against the night sky of London.

After sending the players to the destination, Su Dong took a special look at the scene and found that this group of guys was really interesting.

Aguero dressed up as Harry Potter, Dzeko played Darth Vader from Star Wars, Pepe played Iron Man, and David Silva wore Spiderman's clothes...

In addition, there are characters from movies and games such as Avatar and Wild Wild Bunch. There are all kinds of props here. All players choose their favorite ones to wear, and they all look very funny.

The funniest one is Hazard, who actually chose Batman. The problem is, with his height...

Well, this is definitely the cutest Batman ever.

"Okay, everyone, listen to me."

Seeing that they were all into the mood, Su Dong clapped his hands loudly and called them all over.

"Everyone heard what the head coach said just now. He asked me to keep an eye on you."

Su Dong's words made everyone present change their expression slightly. At this time, who would be willing to be controlled by others?

Of course, just let go and have fun!

"But..." Su Dong changed the subject, "I have something else to do, so I won't stay here to play with you. I hope everyone can have fun and enjoy themselves. You can control the time yourself. I will discuss it with the media reporters outside, but you are not allowed to stay until dawn."

"yeah!!!!"

As soon as Sterling finished listening, he jumped up with excitement.

Everyone burst into laughter, and the scene became lively again.

"I still say the same thing, have fun, try not to drink, no trouble, no conflict, and don't stay until dawn, that's it!"

After saying that, Su Dong clapped his hands vigorously, signaling for the group to disperse.

"Su, I love you!" Marcelo suddenly shouted in the crowd.

"Me too!"

"I want to marry you!"

Everyone burst into laughter again.

But they have to admit that what Su Dong does is indeed what they want.

He is serious when he should be serious, and lets go when he should let go, which makes Manchester City players very satisfied with him.

It is not difficult to see from everyone's cheering that they respect and love Su Dong from the bottom of their hearts.

This also made Su Dong believe that everything he had done in Manchester City was not in vain.
