Messi was so scared that he cried when he maxed out his header talent at the start of the game

Chapter 263

April 10.

The news that the entire Manchester City team moved into the training base and would conduct closed training on non-match days immediately spread throughout the Premier League.

The popularity instantly surpassed the news that Manchester City defeated Liverpool 2:1 yesterday.

This season is not the first time that Manchester City has conducted closed training.

It's just that this one-month period has really shocked many other Premier League team coaches and players.

"You are so damned good at this, you are the King of Goods!"

"Damn! I hope our boss doesn't learn from him. I will be suffocated to death if he lives in the training base for a month!"

"I admire you. Now I know why they have made such great progress this season."

"It seems that Stuart can lead Manchester City to such success this season, and it is not just because of Su Fei..."

"Why don't Chelsea show that they can also have a closed training camp?"

"Oh, it's impossible! The Portuguese has his own pride and will never learn from Manchester City."

The head coach and the Premier League players talked to each other privately, and most of them did not understand, only a small number of people.

From this, we can see Manchester City's determination to win the championship this year.

......

On the other side.

Chelsea's head coach, the arrogant Portuguese, was also questioned by reporters at the post-match press conference the next day.

"Mr. Mourinho, can you please share your opinion on Manchester City's closed training camp?"

As usual, Jose Mourinho looked at his watch impatiently before answering reporters' questions.

"My opinion?"

"Closed training camps can indeed maintain the players' condition and reduce the impact of off-field factors."

"But."

"We at Chelsea don't need to demand players in such a harsh way. Last season, we at Chelsea were the league champions, and we were also the team that gave the most holidays to players in the Premier League."

"So, have I made it clear enough?"

"If you can win, you can win. If you can't win, you can't win! I still firmly believe that we at Chelsea will once again defend the Premier League title this season!"

...................................

Stuart soon saw Jose Mourinho's speech in the newspaper.

The newspaper was handed over by his assistant Oliver.

"Sir."

"You don't need to pay too much attention to what this guy said."

"You also know that he is a famous troublemaker in the Premier League."

Oliver carefully reminded Stuart, worried that he would be affected by this newspaper.

Unexpectedly.

Stuart was not angry, but smiled.

"He is scared."

"Ah?"

"Can't you see? Mourinho is scared. He is afraid of us, so he slanders us! Chelsea is indeed the team with the most holidays last season, because they locked the Premier League championship early. This damn Portuguese is completely ignoring objective facts. What does it mean? He is panicking! He is so panicked that he can only attack us by deceiving himself!"

As Stuart said, Oliver gradually understood and relaxed his brows.

There is nothing wrong with what he said!

If you are not afraid, why slander? If you are not panicking, why say that you have the most holidays?

"Let's go, let's go to the court and see what the brats are doing."

Stuart left the office.

The newspaper was crumpled by Oliver and thrown into the trash can.

In the trash can.

The newspaper with a photo of Jose Mourinho, the expression of a madman and the creases after being crumpled.

From expressionless.

To a crying face.

..........................................

On April 15, the FA Cup quarter-final match day arrived.

From the 674 English teams in the preliminaries, they were eliminated after rounds of confrontation.

Now.

Only the last 8 teams are left to compete in the final of this season's FA Cup.

There are no dark horses this year, and all non-Premier League teams have been eliminated.

Manchester City, West Ham United, Birmingham, Liverpool, Chelsea, Blackburn, Charlton, Middlesbrough.

What?

You ask where Manchester United and Arsenal went...

Manchester United was eliminated by West Ham United 1:0, and Arsenal was also eliminated by Bolton 1:0.

The most famous rivals in the Premier League, Ferguson and Wenger, ended this year's FA Cup journey together.

This season.

Manchester United is destined to get nothing.

As for Arsenal, they just finished the second round of the quarter-finals with Serie A giants Juventus on April 6.

With a big score of 2:0 in both rounds,Defeated Juventus and advanced to the Champions League semi-finals.

......

At 6 pm, Manchester City players took the player bus on time and arrived at the London Olympic Stadium, the home of West Ham United.

This season.

As a newly promoted team, West Ham United can actually be called a dark horse. So far this season, it ranks 10th in the standings.

This is extremely good among the performances of previous promoted teams.

Not only did they stabilize their seats in the Premier League.

Their performance in defeating Manchester United in the FA Cup made fans see the potential of the "Hammers"!

I can only say.

Manchester City is too dark horse.

Without Manchester City.

West Ham United is the biggest surprise in the Premier League this season!

Before the game, some media likened this game to "the FA Cup battle between big and small dark horses!"

Although.

West Ham United has been defeated by Manchester City twice this season, with 0 points and 5 goals scored by Manchester City in total.

But it still did not prevent the Boleyn Stadium, which can accommodate 35,303 people, from being full!

The fans of the Hammers are looking forward to it.

This home team, which has brought them too many surprises this season, can continue to perform the magic of defeating the underdog in the FA Cup!

......

Pre-match press conference.

The gray-haired and energetic West Ham United coach, Alan Pardew, spitted into the microphone and was in high spirits.

"Since we can beat Manchester United, we also have a chance to beat Manchester City!"

"As a team that was promoted to the Premier League this season."

"We have performed well enough this season!"

"Even if we lose to Manchester City, the top of the Premier League today, falling in the quarterfinals of the FA Cup is enough to make the fans proud!"

Alan Pardew's speech perfectly conveyed what it means to be barefoot and not afraid of those wearing shoes.

The reporters conveyed the message to Stuart, who attended the press conference later.

Stuart knew.

This was the pressure from the opposing coach.

What did he mean?

It means that West Ham United can lose, but Manchester City can't afford to lose!

If we only talk about his ability to talk nonsense.

Stuart will definitely be among the top world-famous coaches.

"Haha."

"This is the first time I heard that losing in the FA Cup quarterfinals is enough to make fans proud. Is this not Mr. Pardew's wishful thinking?"

"As for the so-called beating Manchester United, there is a chance to beat Manchester City... I can't understand the cause and effect relationship at all."

"Manchester United this season."

"But they didn't beat us. They didn't win once in two games!"

At this point, Stuart's expression showed pride. He left the scene with his head held high and returned to the locker room to start mobilizing the players' fighting spirit.

"Win!"

"We must not only win today!"

"We must win beautifully, I need a really big win!"

"Remember what I said?"

"Not only the league championship, we must also win the FA Cup this year!"
