Since last summer, after investing more than 400 million euros in the transfer market and investing many stars, many people outside questioned that Manchester City is a mercenary corps, believing that this is purely based on the personal charm of the high cold and the international column supported by the tyrants of the Middle East. This evaluation is especially true within the UK.

Manchester City's management is also quite troubled by this, after all, the club's operations should be based on the UK.

Therefore, at this high-level meeting, Gao Han gave a countermeasure that this summer's transfer signing will focus on British local players. On the one hand, it can increase Manchester City's appeal in the British market, and on the other hand, it can also meet the registration requirements of the Premier League and UEFA for local youth training players.

After the meeting, Gao Han and Paul Fottery returned to Carrington and held a senior meeting of the competitive department with chief scout David Harrison to discuss the signing candidates this summer. Gao Han also submitted a list of his initial recruitment list and handed it over to Paul Fottery and David Harrison to track and operate.

After finishing all this, Gao Han started to prepare for the team again.

After twenty-eight rounds of the league, Manchester City is far ahead and is getting closer to winning the championship.

Because of the FA Cup on the weekend, the 29th round of the league was held in the middle of the week.

The opponent of this game is Sunderland, the Black Cat coached by Steve Bruce.

Due to a week-long double competition, Gao Han had to perform appropriate rotations in the game, but he still launched a wave of attacks at the beginning, but Steve Bruce was obviously prepared and started very steadily.

But when the game reached the third minute, Sunderland seized a chance. Darren Ben deliberately counterattacked and entered Manchester City's half, but Mascherano poked the ball to goalkeeper Peter Cech.

After Cech stopped the ball, he passed the ball over the center line with a long pass, and passed it to Sunderland's half.

Cristiano Ronaldo successfully counterattacked at an extremely fast speed, caught up with the ball, drove straight in after receiving the ball, easily scored a goal with one shot, breaking the deadlock on the court.

This goal also completely changed the situation on the court.

After that, Sunderland once pulled the game into a stalemate, but in the 32nd minute, Manchester City broke through on the right to form a corner kick, and Xavi Martinez headed the ball to further expand the score.

After that, the game completely lost suspense. Even if Steve Bruce replaced two players in one breath during the halftime break, he was unable to turn the situation around. Manchester City scored twice in the 60th minute with Cristiano Ronaldo.

In the end, Manchester City defeated Black Cat Sunderland three-to-zero away, winning again, scoring three-pointers.

Premier League teams that also entered the FA Cup quarterfinals like Manchester City also played in the middle of the week, with Chelsea defeating West Ham United three-to-one, continuing to maintain pressure on Manchester City.

It was this victory of the Blues that shattered Manchester City's desire to win the championship in advance and had to stay until the next round.

Three days later, Manchester City ushered in the FA Cup quarterfinals knockout match at home, with Birmingham.

This time, Gao Han played with a half-main and half-substitute lineup, and the game was once stalemate, but in the 67th and 70th minutes of the second half, with the support of Gao Han's skill card, Sturridge scored twice, helping Manchester City defeat Birmingham 2-0 and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.

The other three teams that reached the semi-finals are Portsmouth, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur.

After the draw, Manchester City drew Portsmouth, while Chelsea drew Tottenham Hotspur, staged a London derby.

With the League Cup and the League basically no hope, and the Champions League quarterfinals stopped at Inter Milan, Chelsea's only hope for a championship fell in the FA Cup.

It is reported that Abramovich has issued an order to win the championship. If the championship falls again, Scolari will leave after the end of the season and become the third Chelsea coach to be dismissed in the past four years.

…………

Manchester City Stadium on March 14th.

In the 30th round of the Premier League, Manchester City will face Tottenham Hotspur at home.

This is a focus battle in this round.

Although Chelsea beat Portsmouth 3-0 away, Manchester City can win the championship eight rounds ahead of schedule as long as they get one point in this game, which will be the biggest advantage in the Premier League in recent years.

But this game, Manchester City's opponents are not easy to play.

Redknapp's team is currently ranked fifth in the Premier League, even surpassing Liverpool, and has great strength. Although this game is a away game, he still sticks to his traditional 442 formation.

The forward line is lined up with a combination of Crouch and Defoe. The midfield wings are Gareth Bale and Allen Lennon, Heddlestone and Palacios are in the middle, the defense is composed of Ector, Ridley King, Michael Dawson and Cable, and the goalkeeper is Gomez.

Under Redknapp's training, Tottenham Hotspur's overall strength has improved in the long term, especially the offenses of the two sides, which have been very successful. Gareth Bale and Allen Lennon are both known for their speed breakthroughs on the wing.

Tottenham Hotspur was not timid at all when challenging Manchester City in this game. He set up a stance at the beginning and wanted to fight against Manchester City to the death.

Manchester City was the first to create a threat. In the fifth minute, Benzema received a top pass from Modric, entered the penalty area, and shot through Gomez's goal, but the lineman signaled that Benzema was offside when it started, and the goal was invalid.

This caused boos from the city court.

But soon, Manchester City launched another offensive.

Mascherano put it on the right and passed it diagonally to Sanchez who cut into the middle. The latter shot and hit the right post hard.

Both consecutive shots created a threat, which greatly boosted the morale of Manchester City.

But soon, Tottenham Hotspur also counterattacked. After intercepting the ball in the backcourt, Gareth Bale dribbled the ball from the left and made a rush. He used his speed to force Mascherano to cross it one-on-one, but Cech cracked Defoe's single shot very steadily.

Two minutes later, Tottenham Hotspurs Hotspur made a breakthrough on the right and passed to the front of the penalty area. Huddlestone inserted a long shot, but failed to suppress the ball and directly knocked the ball into the stands.

A minute later, Tottenham Hotspur forced a breakthrough from the left and made a cross, but Defoe's long shot failed to create a threat.

After the game began, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur took the initiative on the field and made a threatening attack.

The pace was moving very fast, and the fans in the stands were very enjoyable.

But Gao Han shook his head when he watched on the sidelines.

"Tottenham Hotspur's style of play can be said to be our nemesis." Brian Kidd also said helplessly.

Manchester City's three, four and three formations are indeed very good, but the defense on the wing is still not as strong as the four defenders. If you face the popular in-cutting wingers at the moment, then Manchester City will be at ease, but it will be a bit difficult to face traditional wingers like Tottenham Hotspur, especially traditional wingers with speed.

The most obvious thing is that Mascherano and Kompani were eaten single by Gareth Bale and Allen Lennon in succession. It is not that Tottenham Hotspur’s two wingers are, but mainly because they are fast enough.

This kind of fast horse on the side can create a threat immediately as long as they are given space.

"Who told them to eat on the sidelines?" Gao Han smiled lightly.

Tottenham Hotspur's offense relies heavily on two wings, but the midfield is not outstanding in the middle, which is why Redknapp has repeatedly reported this season that he wants to get Manchester City's Stephen Ireland and Real Madrid's Van der Fate.

Gao Han thought about it, walked to the sidelines, waved at Xavi Alonso, signaling the team's formation to retract appropriately, and don't give Gareth Bale and Allen Lennon too much room to sprint.

Gao Han's adjustment achieved immediate results. Manchester City quickly re-controlled the situation on the court and began to firmly grasp the ball, forcing Tottenham to turn to passive defense. At the beginning of the 17th minute, they made a continuous wave of fierce offensives, which lasted for ten minutes.

During these ten minutes, Manchester City made a full threatening shot with four kicks, making Tottenham no longer as arrogant as it was at the opening, and felt a wave of pressure in front of the goal.

After the test at the beginning stage, Manchester City gradually controlled the situation, and Gao Han also decisively activated the skill card after entering the 30th minute to strengthen the on-field offensive.

In the 32nd minute, Manchester City launched an offensive, Modric dribbled the ball into the 30-meter area, passed the ball to the right, Sanchez got the ball from the right and passed it diagonally to the back point of the penalty area, Cristiano Ronaldo inserted, jumped and rushed to the top, headed the ball, breaking the deadlock on the court, one-to-zero.

But after scoring the lead, Manchester City continued to increase its offensive strength. Soon, after Xavi Alonso was hit by a frustration in his attempt to attack on the left, he suddenly moved the ball to the right. Sanchez got the ball and cut inwardly, causing Tottenham to sweat.

Just two minutes later, Manchester City expanded the score again.

It was another cross from Sanchez on the right. Benzema stopped the ball in the middle and shot directly, but the ball was swung by Gomez and saved it. However, Cristiano Ronaldo followed up first and passed it back to the goal before the ball went out of the baseline. At the critical moment, Kaka inserted in the back row and calmly pushed the ball to score, expanding the score to 2-0.

This goal further helped Manchester City secure the victory.

Manchester City fans at City Stadium have begun to be unable to help but celebrate the team's championship.

But the restless fans did not affect the players on the court, and Manchester City still controlled the game in an orderly manner.

After the second half of the game, Tottenham Hotspur once made a threatening counterattack, especially Gareth Bale and Allen Lennon were very active on both sides, which left a deep impression on Gao Han.

But Manchester City scored another goal in the second half.

In the 64th minute, Xavi Martinez made a long pass from the backcourt to launch an attack. Benzema used his speed to force the ball to compete with Ridley King for the landing point, forcing Ridley King to fall to the ground in a hurry, but the ball passed the attacking goalkeeper Gomez.

Benzema was extremely calm to catch the cooperation mistake between the two Tottenham Hotspur players, and before everyone, he caught up with the ball, calmly pushed into the empty goal, scoring the easiest goal in the game.

And this is also the last goal of the game.

Three to zero, Manchester City finally defeated Tottenham Hotspur at home.

With this victory, Manchester City won the first English top league championship trophy eight rounds ahead of schedule after the club was away from each other forty years.

The whistle had not sounded at the end of the game, but the entire city stadium had completely become a stage for Manchester City fans to celebrate the championship.

Fireworks were lit in the stands, and festive ribbons fell slowly from the sky above the stands...
