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

Chapter 279

"The final battle between Manchester City and Chelsea may determine the winner of this season's league championship!"

"Manchester City makes history or Chelsea wins twice in a row!"

"Preview of the 37th round of the Premier League Manchester City vs Chelsea game, count down the 10 reasons why Chelsea will win!"

"51% vs. 49%, the anonymous vote on the support rate of fans for the Manchester City vs Chelsea game is out."

"Arsenal legend Ian Wright and Manchester United legend Cantona publicly expressed their support for Manchester City on the MOTD TV program!"

The most watched final battle of the 05-06 season is about to start, and related media reports are flying all over the sky.

Days go by.

Finally.

As countless fans look forward to it, on May 2, the 37th round of the Premier League arrived.

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

At 4:30 in the evening.

The bus carrying Manchester City players, surrounded by a large crowd of Manchester City fans outside the Etihad Stadium.

Slowly drove into the stadium parking lot.

Stuart dressed up today and put on his most formal and expensive suit.

He strode to the pre-match press conference.

Click, click, click!

When the old man pushed the door open, the reporters at the scene pressed the shutter button.

There were too many reporters.

So many that many reporters were squeezed out of the back door, but they still held their cameras and recorders high.

No reporter wanted to miss every detail of today's game.

Of course, this also includes the pre-match press conference.

Stuart.

After standing on the podium, he adjusted his collar, smiled confidently and waited for reporters' questions.

"Mr. Stewart, what do you think is the team's chance of winning today?"

"What? 100%! We are here with the determination to win!"

...

"Mr. Stewart, Manchester City started closed training a month ago. How is the effect and the players' pre-match condition?"

"I think the games against Tottenham and Everton have given the answer. They are in excellent condition and united."

...

"Mr. Stewart, what do you think of today's opponent Chelsea?"

"Chelsea is very strong. They have been very strong since last season. They are also the team we have not been able to beat in the entire Premier League."

...

"Will the team make any special adjustments for today's game?"

"I have no comment on this."

Stewart's pre-match press conference ended in a conventional manner without any provocation or instigation.

Because the old man knows.

Facing an enemy like Mourinho, verbal attacks will not hit or annoy him, but will only make Chelsea calmer and stronger.

Compared with the real fight on the court.

There is no point in talking nonsense.

......

As for the other side.

The reporters who waited hard did not wait for Jose Mourinho to arrive.

They only waited for a message that Mourinho refused to attend the pre-match press conference.

For a while.

The reporters cursed.

But there was nothing they could do about this guy. Mourinho was not afraid of the suspension and fine from the Football Association.

Not to mention that they were talking behind his back.

Jose Mourinho, who did not go to the pre-match press conference, was not idle. He was in the locker room for the final pre-match mobilization.

"Listen, we will definitely win today!"

"As for the reason."

"We were the Premier League champions last year, and they were just a relegation team last year."

"They have struggled in most of the games against strong teams this year and won with difficulty."

"And we are almost invincible in the league."

"Remember the last time we played against them?"

"If there hadn't been that heavy rain, we would have won that game. I believe you think so too."

"We are stronger, we performed better in all aspects, so we deserve to win, and we will definitely win."

"Now, wipe away all the distractions in your head and keep only one belief. Win, we will definitely win."

"That's what I want to say today."

José Mourinho's pre-match motivation has his own distinctive characteristics.

It's because he thinks so himself.

So when he said these words, it was so natural and so convincing.

In the locker room, the iron-blooded Blues, who were infused with the belief that they would win, could not wait to start a bloody storm at the Etihad Stadium.

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

In the home team's locker room, compared to Jose Mourinho's kingly speech, Stewart is more like a father.

"Children, this season, we have worked together to create too many miracles. We have successfully brought Manchester City, an old and declining club, back to the spotlight of the world."

"We have successfully made those men, women and children in Manchester who support Manchester City have the most smiles in so many years and become the pride of fans again."

"We have succeeded."

"Really."

"We have achieved the greatest success in decades this season, even if we lose to Chelsea today and lose the Premier League championship this season."

"Each of you deserves the best flowers and the warmest applause!"

"So."

"Under this premise, let go and do it. Children, like a real brave, release yourself on the court, show yourself, and do what you want without scruples."

"Don't treat today's game as a life-and-death battle for the championship, but as the final show of this successful season!"

"Come on, put your hands here. Sue, you take the lead."

Stuart's speech was very gentle, so gentle that it didn't seem like him, but this was the more real him.

For a long time, he has been doing his best to make almost cruel demands on players.

But today.

In front of the ultimate battle, he took off his disguise and encouraged and inspired Manchester City players with sincere words.

Since we have succeeded, why fear failure!

This is what Stewart wanted to express.

Su Fei shouted in a deep voice.

"Manchester City!"

"Come on!!!"

"Manchester City!"

"Come on!!!"

Manchester City players responded in unison!

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

In the ESPN live broadcast room, Zhan Jun and Wang Tao had already arrived at the live commentary desk at the Etihad Stadium in advance.

The appearance ceremony was in progress.

The two sighed.

"Before the start of this season, no one thought that Manchester City and Chelsea would compete for the final Premier League title."

"Su Fei's joining."

"Manchester City, which was on the verge of relegation last season, has transformed into a championship contender."

"But it's not just Su Fei."

"The changes and improvements of Manchester City's players this season are visible to everyone."

"Today."

"Whether it is Manchester City, which has made great progress, or Chelsea, the defending champion last season, they both deserve a victory to step onto the final throne!"

"I just hope."

"Today's ultimate battle for the throne is a wonderful duel that will be recorded in the history of the Premier League!"

"2005-06 Premier League Round 37, Manchester City vs Chelsea!"

"It's about to start!"
