Chapter 412: The Curse of Reincarnation

The match between Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City ended with 0:4, with the home team in front and the away team in the back, and Manchester City won a big victory at White Hart Lane Stadium.

After the game, there were no reports in the media such as "Manchester City is going downhill", or "Moris' injury will have a great impact on Manchester City's performance", but they all turned into praise such as "Manchester City's crazy performance at White Hart Lane Stadium", "Manchester City continues to be strong in the league".

Among all kinds of praise reports, Darren Bent, who had a hat-trick in the game, undoubtedly mentioned the most times.

The British media have always liked to praise their players. Darren Bent is a pure English player and a member of the England national team. Now, seeing his performance is so good, you can imagine the reports of the British media.

In fact, Darren Bent did well.

Not only three goals in the game, Darren Bent has been playing continuously and stably since the start of the Premier League in August, and has scored 11 goals in 16 league rounds.

The three goals in this game also made Darren Bent's league goal number tied with C-Ronaldo who played for Manchester United, and tied for the first place in the Premier League scorer list.

If we talk about this season, the players of various Premier League players are undoubtedly C-Ronaldo has the best performance. He has become Manchester United's core player. Playing on the wing, the wing is the core, playing on the middle, and the middle is the core, which reflects the importance of C-Ronaldo in Manchester United.

As a full-back, C-Ronaldo keeps scoring goals in the game. So far, he has helped Manchester United score 11 goals in the past 16 rounds of the league. This number is very amazing even if it is on a striker. But it should be noted that C-Ronaldo is a full-back. Many goals in the game are opportunities he created by himself.

This is very amazing.

Until now, many football commentators believe that "c-Ronaldo has shown the ability of a top international superstar!"

"He's so great."

Manchester United coach Ferguson never stings with compliments on C-Ronaldo.

Now Darren Bent is able to catch up with C-Ronaldo's goal, which also makes the British media very happy because C-Ronaldo is a Portuguese player. They don't like to see players from other countries outperforming England players. Although C-Ronaldo's performance is obviously higher than Darren Bent, at least in terms of goal numbers, Darren Bent has "ticked".

Wan Sheng will also support his players. When a reporter asked about the goals scores between Darren Bent and C-Ronaldo, he said directly, "At the end of the season, Darren will definitely score more goals than Ronaldo. I believe he can do it."

The match with Tottenham Hotspur has been two days, but many people are still talking about it because the two teams will face off in a week, which was the quarterfinals of the English League Cup, and the venue became Manchester Stadium.

Originally, Tottenham Hotspur hoped to make a difference in the cup. This event was another way to enter the European competition. After reaching the quarterfinals, many Tottenham fans began to yearn for the finals.

But this game against Manchester City disappointed Tottenham fans.

Even the entire Tottenham team was beaten so much that they were not confident. Just like the media comments, "Spurs were all filled with four goals at home. When they arrived in Manchester, how could they play the game?"

Everyone knows that Manchester City will definitely not give up the League Cup easily, so Tottenham's prospects in the League Cup are no longer optimistic.

The League Cup plays Tottenham Hotspur a week later, and Manchester City has no time to consider it yet.

Before that game, Manchester City had two games to play, the first was the league with Bolton.

There is no suspense in this game.

Manchester City had only played against Bolton in the last round of the English League Cup, but Manchester City defeated Bolton 2-0 with a substitute. This time it was Manchester City's home court, Bolton didn't have much fighting spirit. Perhaps the game against Manchester City is not in the "relegation plan" of the new coach Sammy Lee, just as Sammy Lee said before the game, "It is useless to play against Manchester City, the team's performance is based on the team's performance. If they perform poorly, we may take away points."

Unfortunately, Manchester City performed quite well, and Sammy Lee's team could only leave with failure.

By defeating Bolton at home, Manchester City continued to set a Premier League record. Their unbeaten record in the league has lasted 55 games. Seeing that Manchester City is in such a good state, some media have begun to look at the future schedule because they do not think that ordinary teams are capable of ending Manchester City's unbeaten.

Aston Villa…Blackburn…

In the end, the media's goal was to the 20th round of the league, with Manchester City facing Chelsea at home.

The media has given this round of competition two special meanings.

The first significance is that if Manchester City wins this round, they will tie the Serie A giants AC Milan in the 1991/92 season and set an amazing record of 58 consecutive unbeaten in the league in 1992/93 season.

The second meaning is some analysis of the "reincarnation curse".

The most worth mentioning is AC Milan's unbeaten record of 58 league games. This record starts with Parma (0-0), and finally Parma (0-1), and falls into a cycle of reincarnation.

There are several other teams who have created unbeaten results in dozens of consecutive games, and they are trapped in the curse of "reincarnation" like AC Milan.

Dutch powerhouse Ajax set a record of 54 unbeaten after defeating William II in the 1993/94 season, but in January 1996, they were defeated by William II and the record ended.

In the China League One, Dalian Wanda lost to Shanghai Shenhua in 1995 and was unbeaten in the League One A. League 1. In the end, their unbeaten record was ended by Shenhua in Shanghai.

According to the cycle of "reincarnation curse", the match between Manchester City and Chelsea is very meaningful, because Manchester City's unbeaten began in the first league with Chelsea last season.

Now that we meet Chelsea again, Manchester City’s unbeaten record should end under the ‘reincarnation curse’?

It started with Chelsea, and finally Chelsea formed a perfect cycle, and tied with AC Milan's unbeaten record in the league. Manchester City should be very satisfied with the end of this record!

The media believes that it has given Manchester City an unbeaten record. It has set a very perfect result.

But obviously Wansheng doesn't think so.

When a reporter raised the statement of the 'reincarnation curse', Wan Sheng asked, "Are you telling a story?"

"Sorry, football is a reality. It's not a story. And you are not God either."

"In addition, as far as I know, Arsenal has no 'reincarnation'. Their 49-round unbeaten starts in Southampton and ends at Old Trafford. They are Premier League teams. If you follow the logic of your fantasy novels, Premier League teams can get rid of the spell. We are also Premier League teams, so we are not affected."

Wan Sheng's statement immediately left the reporter with nothing to say.

They didn't expect that this Chinese could open his mouth to football history, and even Arsenal's 49-round unbeaten start and end could be explained directly.

However, with a heart of "hopeing Manchester City failing", they still insist on the view of "reincarnation curse" in their reports. As for Arsenal, can escape the curse? Manchester City is not Arsenal! They will definitely not be able to escape!

Some media gritted their teeth and thought.

At the same time, Manchester City has already started the last Champions League match with Lyon.

Manchester City has been confirmed to be the first in the group, so this game is useless to Manchester City. No matter how important the game is to Lyon or Glasgow Rangers. He sent a full substitute to play, with only Giovani Morisio, and two youth players were sent in the middle and backcourt.

When Manchester City debuted, Lyon coach Alan Perrin was very happy.

This game is very important to Lyon.

They defeated the Glasgow Rangers in the last game, so in the e-group, Lyon ranks second in the group with 9 points, but they are not sure to qualify. Glasgow Rangers have 7 points, and the Scottish team still has a chance to overtake in the last round.

If the Glasgow Rangers beat Stuttgart, even if Lyon draws with Manchester City, it will be difficult for both teams to qualify for the same points, because Lyon does not have much advantage in goal difference.

In short, this game is extremely important to Lyon, so they naturally hope that Manchester City can 'leave water'.

Manchester City's "release" is still very serious.

This set of all substitutes will not be used when encountering a small club in the League Cup, and only games that have no meaning to the team will play like this.

As for the post-match, the Glasgow Rangers may complain that Manchester City is not playing seriously?

Wansheng doesn't care at all.

This game is indeed meaningless to Manchester City. During the intensive schedule, he is in a rotation "righteous" way. Otherwise, how would the team deal with the 7-day and 3-game Champions League and League Cup?

Lyon's performance was a bit bad.

Faced with such a Manchester City team, Lyon should have an absolute advantage, but in the actual game, Lyon did not play any advantage at all. Instead, he was scored by Manchester City's "second-tier" players who were eager to perform.

After that, Lyon was eager to counterattack, but was unable to score a goal.

Seeing that his team could not play an advantage against the opponent's substitute lineup, Lyon fans even booed. Anyone knew that they were dissatisfied with Lyon's performance.

Fortunately, Lyon still has good players.

In the 79th minute of the game, Glasgow Rovers midfielder Juninho took advantage of the free kick opportunity to send the ball directly into Manchester City's goal, helping Lyon tie the score.

The final game also ended 1:1.

After the game, the British media said happily, "Manchester City's second-tier lineup is no worse than the French champion!"

French media criticized Alan Perrin, who believed that Lyon was still capable, but Alan Perrin made the team fail to play its due strength.

Needless to say, those critics were criticized, Alan Perrin was under great pressure.

Lyon's luck is pretty good.

In another e-group match that ended half an hour late, Stuttgart defeated Glasgow Rangers 1-0 at home, and finally won the points of this Champions League for the first time, barely retaining the face of the defending Bundesliga champion.

The Champions League e-group matches end here.

Manchester City won 4 wins and 2 draws and 14 points, qualifying as the first in the group.

Lyon has 3 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses and has 10 points, qualifying as the second in the group.

Glasgow Rangers have 2 wins, 1 draw, 3 losses and 7 points. According to European competition rules, they will automatically enter the top 32 of the UEFA Cup.

Stuttgart lost 1 win and 5 losses, and European competitions were eliminated. (To be continued.)
