Chapter 378 81! Terrifying Bayern, terrifying score!
"Is this Middle Eastern guy planning to spend money to buy someone again?"
"They offered 200 million euros for Lin Quan last summer, but Manchester City didn't sell him. If they spend more money this summer, the bid will definitely be higher than 200 million euros!"
"Higher than 200 million euros? Could it be that they will offer 220 million or even 250 million?"
"Isn't this too crazy? The highest transfer fee in football right now is only around 100 million euros. If this transfer can be completed, it will double the original amount!"
The rising transfer fees in football have made fans feel the impact of inflation deeply.
…
As for Manchester City Club, Guardiola's mood was greatly affected as soon as he returned to Manchester and learned about the rumors that were making the rounds outside.
"No matter how much the outside world offers, all offers for Lin Quan will be rejected!"
Lin Quan's position in his tactical system is irreplaceable. If Lin Quan is poached, how can he play? However, the club's refusal may not work, because they also have to consider the opinions of the players themselves.
Therefore, Guardiola planned to test Lin Quan's attitude in private to see if he had any intention of leaving Manchester City.
"Lin, you have lived in Manchester City for so long, are you satisfied with life here?"
While having dinner, Guardiola asked casually.
"It's OK, the weather in Manchester is terrible and the food is not good."
Lin Quan's words were strongly recognized by several of his younger brothers and sisters, including Maria and Valentina. The three of them nodded repeatedly and complained together.
They've only been in Manchester for four months and they're already feeling a bit overwhelmed.
This cold and humid climate is simply not a place for people to stay compared to the bright sunshine and dry and suitable climate in Catalonia.
As for food, the local food in the UK is really terrible. Not only is there a small variety, the taste is also terrible, far inferior to Spanish food.
Hearing the complaints from several children, Guardiola choked and felt a little guilty:
The children actually hated life in Manchester City so much, but I was so busy with work that I didn’t even notice it.
"Ahem, if you don't like it here, I'll find a way to change your job and find an environment you like!"
When Lin Quan heard Guardiola's words, he knew he was overthinking.
Guardiola had just jumped from Bayern and left Manchester City before he had even had time to warm up, which had a huge impact on his reputation.
Moreover, the continuous change of teams is not conducive to Guardiola's continued summarization of his coaching experience and finding better technical and tactical play in his mind.
If this continues, his coaching ability may decline, and the world will lose a famous coach.
"That's not necessary. Although the environment here is bad, I've gotten used to it over time. As for food, I know a few good Chinese and Mexican restaurants. It's not bad to go here occasionally to improve the food!"
Sera smiled and said, "If you are not used to eating outside food, you can bring food from home to eat out. The food I cook should suit your taste, right?"
Everyone started to speak up and offer suggestions on how to solve the problems they were facing.
You know what, when many hands make light work, with everyone's collective wisdom, they actually came up with a solution.
Guardiola saw all this and was deeply moved.
Having such a group of family members silently supporting him behind the scenes makes him feel extremely happy.
…
In the 33rd round of the Premier League, Manchester City, who took the lead in the game, beat West Ham United 2:0 at home, temporarily overtaking Chelsea to top the list.
After the game, Manchester City players did not leave the locker room, but instead focused on the score of another game.
There is a focus battle in this round of the Premier League - Chelsea plays against the Red Devils Manchester United at home.
There is no doubt that this is a strong duel! Since Mourinho took over the Blues ten years ago, the attention and intensity of the Red and Blue War have been increasing day by day.
Before Manchester City's rise, the duel between the two teams had a tendency to surpass the Red Devils derby.
This game is crucial for both sides. Chelsea must maintain their lead over Manchester City to ensure they can win the Premier League title this season.
Manchester United wants to consolidate its fourth place in the league to avoid being overtaken by Tottenham and Liverpool and missing out on next year's Champions League.
At the beginning of the season, Manchester United's big-money signings were aimed at winning the championship, but after one season, their goal has changed from winning the championship to maintaining a place in the Champions League.
Manchester United missed the Champions League this year. If they fail to get a place in the Champions League next year, the consequences will be very serious.
Without the bonuses and shares provided by the Champions League, their revenue would probably be in a huge deficit.
Moreover, the lack of the Champions League stage will cause those stars who were signed at high prices last year to lose confidence in Manchester United and then seek transfers.
These players have not played a single Champions League game in a year, so their value will inevitably drop significantly. If Manchester United allows them to transfer away at this time, it will suffer a great loss.
Therefore, whether it is to maintain the operation of the club, or to maintain the stability of the lineup and maintain the attraction to high-level players, they cannot miss the Champions League next year! Therefore, the two sides fought very hard in this game.
But unfortunately, Chelsea, playing at home, was more skilled and eventually defeated Manchester United with a goal from Hazard, defending their top position.
"Manchester United are so useless. They had 70% ball possession but fewer shots than Chelsea!"
After watching the match between Manchester United and Chelsea, many Manchester City players showed disappointment on their faces.
We were originally counting on Manchester United to stop Chelsea, but now, not only did we fail to stop them, we also gave our opponents 3 points.
With only five rounds left in the league, if Manchester City can’t catch up with Chelsea, they will have no choice but to watch them win the championship.
"Don't pin your hopes on the opponent's mistakes. We just need to do our best in all the remaining games. As for the championship, if we can't win it this year, we can win it next year!"
Guardiola calmed the players' emotions and encouraged them.
The closer we get to the final stage, the less impatient we should be.
Manchester City was already in a lagging position. If they made mistakes because of their anxious mentality at this time, then there would be no hope at all.
As for Chelsea, if they can really continue to win, Guardiola will have no choice but to accept it.
But if they dare to make a mistake, that's City's chance.
…
On the night when Manchester City and Chelsea won, at Wembley Stadium, Arsenal finally defeated their opponents after 120 minutes of fierce fighting and once again entered the FA Cup final.
In another FA Cup match the next day, Aston Villa defeated Liverpool 2:1 and met Arsenal in the final.
For Wenger and his team, this is their best chance to win the title in nearly a decade.
If they can seize this opportunity, they will win their first championship trophy in 10 years, and it will be the FA Cup championship with great gold content!
As the 2014-2015 season draws to a close, the five major leagues are entering their final stages.
In the Bundesliga, Bayern's dominance remains unchanged.
After the 29th round of the Bundesliga, Bayern has 12 points more than the second place. If they can win the next round, they can declare victory four rounds in advance.
In Serie A, although Juventus lost to Manchester City in the Champions League, their lead in the league is even more exaggerated than Bayern.
After the 31st round of Serie A, Juventus had 73 points, 15 points higher than second-placed Lazio.
Such a huge gap makes the ownership of Serie A championship completely unsure, and the Old Lady will complete the achievement of winning Serie A for four consecutive years.
And this is just the beginning! In addition to Serie A and Bundesliga, the championship situation in La Liga, Premier League and Ligue 1 is also complicated and confusing.
In the Premier League, the score between Manchester City and Chelsea is very close, and it may take until the last round of the league to determine who will win the championship.
The situation in Ligue 1 is similar. Paris Saint-Germain is distracted by the Champions League and its dominance in the league has declined significantly.
They have had too many draws this season, with 11 draws after only 33 league rounds.
Coupled with three defeats, Paris Saint-Germain has only 68 points, making it the team with the lowest points among the leaders of the five major leagues.

Currently they are only 3 points ahead of second place Lyon. This gap is not safe. Paris Saint-Germain may be overtaken as long as they lose.
In La Liga, Atletico Madrid's record this season has seen a significant decline as key players in positions such as forwards, goalkeepers and defenders have been poached one after another.
The La Liga has returned to a two-headed competition. Currently, La Liga has reached the 32nd round. Barcelona leads Real Madrid by 2 points and is currently ranked first.
The score difference is not big, and Barcelona may be overtaken by Real Madrid if they draw.
Whether Barcelona's MSN will be the winner or Real Madrid's BBC combination will be better depends on the performance of both teams in the last six rounds of games.
However, for teams other than the Bundesliga and Serie A, when the league reaches the final stage of the championship, the Champions League competition also reaches its most intense stage.
For them, they have to endure the high-intensity consumption of fighting on two fronts. Whoever maintains the better condition and has a deeper bench will be the last one laughing in the two-front battle.
On April 23, the second round of the Champions League quarter-finals began.
Juventus will visit the Etihad Stadium to challenge Manchester City.
Since Juventus lost 2:0 to Manchester City at home in the last round, they had no choice but to launch a fierce attack on Manchester City in this game, trying to equalize the score or even overtake.
After the opening, Juventus launched a fierce attack on Manchester City.
They don't have much time and they need to score at least two goals to get both sides back to the same starting line.
You need to score 3 goals to advance to the semi-finals!
The offensive pressure is still very great. After all, they are not facing a weak team, but the champion of the previous Champions League!
However, Juventus did not give up and they firmly believed that they could create a miracle.
In order to support the team, more than 3,000 Juventus fans followed the team to the Etihad Stadium.
They held up various cheering slogans and banners, and shouted slogans of encouragement at the top of their lungs, hoping to provide motivation for the players on the field and help them complete this near-miraculous comeback! The enemy's intentions were very clear, and there was no need to guess.
Therefore, Guardiola still arranged Kante to start in this game, relying on his strong intercepting ability in the midfield to limit the enemy's attack.
This move caused Juventus a lot of trouble, as Kante and Fernandinho jointly intercepted the ball.
Manchester City's midfield was like an indestructible wall, almost impenetrable.
Juventus' attacks from the center were unsuccessful time and time again, and they almost scored again because of the opponent's counterattack.
After the middle route failed, Juventus once again tried to attack from both sides.
But this time, Manchester City was prepared.
Their attack from the wing was completely ineffective due to Manchester City's targeted defense. Not only was it ineffective, but the backcourt was left empty due to the full-backs' overlapping, and Manchester City frequently seized the opportunity to launch counterattacks.
Juventus attacked fiercely for 45 minutes in the first half but failed to score a single goal.
On the contrary, Manchester City took advantage of two counterattacks to score two more goals, and the total score became 4:0! After Lin Quan scored Manchester City's second goal, the Old Lady fans who followed the team to England finally stopped shouting.
Their throats were almost smoking, but the team's performance became increasingly sluggish. Not only did they fail to create a miracle, but they were instead riddled with counterattacks from their opponents.
There were only 45 minutes left in the game, and they were four goals behind. Their situation was already completely sealed! No one believed that they could equalize the score in the last 45 minutes!
Are you kidding? Manchester City is not Milan, why would they open champagne in the midfield?
Even if they popped champagne at midfield, it would still be difficult to score four goals in the first half.
After Manchester City scored another goal on a counterattack in the second half, Juventus players finally gave up.
Seeing that the opponent had given up resistance, Guardiola also called off the game and asked the players to play more conservatively.
After 70 minutes, both teams began to make large-scale substitutions, replacing young players to let them feel the atmosphere of the competition.
These young players were eager to show themselves after coming on the court, and Manchester City's Iheanacho even got a one-on-one opportunity.
It’s a pity that Buffon’s performance was so brave that he saved his one-on-one shot, making the young player, who is less than 19 years old, so sad that he almost cried!
He missed the chance to become famous with a goal in the Champions League!
Well, even if he scored this goal, it is highly likely that he would not become famous with just one goal.
Because when he came on the court, the game had already turned into garbage time.
In the final moments of the game, Morata took advantage of a Manchester City player's pass error to score a goal, which helped Juventus save some face. In the end, at the end of the game, Manchester City beat Juventus 3:1 at home, defeated the opponent 5:1 in two rounds, and advanced to the top four.
In other rounds of the game, Real Madrid beat Atletico Madrid 1:0 at home and advanced to the semi-finals with a total score of 1:0.
Barcelona defeated Paris Saint-Germain 2:0 at home and advanced to the semi-finals with a total score of 5:1.
As for Bayern, after losing 1:3 in the first leg, they played a devastating game after returning to their home court!
When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the score at the Allianz Arena was fixed at 8:1!
Bayern brutally slaughtered the Portuguese Super League giants at home! In this game, Bayern showed unparalleled and terrifying offensive ability. In the first half alone, they had already scored 5 goals.
Thiago, Boateng, Muller and Lewandowski scored goals in succession, the latter even scoring twice.
Perhaps in response to outside doubts, Bayern did not stop in the second half and continued to attack frantically.
Lewandowski scored two more goals in the 57th and 75th minutes of the second half, completing a hat-trick.
In the 77th minute, Porto scored a goal to save face, which was also their only goal of the game! On the Bayern side, Xabi Alonso, who came on as a substitute, scored the eighth goal in the 88th minute of the game, setting the score at 8:1!
After winning this game, no one doubted Bayern's strength anymore! (End of this chapter)
