The night after winning the FA Cup, the Manchester City team has returned to Manchester by plane.
Thousands of fans and reporters are waiting at the airport.
When the Manchester City team walked out of the airport one by one, the scene fans burst into fierce cheers, this is a welcoming ceremony organized by the fans spontaneously.
After that, many reporters rushed over to interview.
But the Manchester City team did not stop. They walked and answered one or two questions from the reporter. Everyone showed a busy look.
After all the people boarded the bus, Wan Sheng looked at everyone and said, "Remember what I said after Christmas?"
"Our goal is all champions!"
"The League, the League Cup, the FA Cup, the domestic champions in England, we have all got it, now, we are only one game away from the final goal ..."
Wan Sheng did not continue, but everyone already shouted, "The Champions League! The Champions League!"
Everyone is very excited.
Recalling the championships that I have won, and after a few days, I will be in the Champions League final with Chelsea in Moscow. Everyone is very excited. They know that together with the team, they have created a record that can be recorded in the history and let the fans remember The great history of several decades, even hundreds of years.
"All the champions in England? Fight for the Champions League?"
I didn't dare to think about it before.
But as the head coach Wan Sheng came up, they took a hard-working attitude and reached this step. Now everyone's mentality is completely different, and everyone has incredible confidence.
"The Champions League final is only one game away!"
Wan Sheng stretched out a finger, his face flushed with excitement, and the others also discussed with excitement.
The FA Cup winner is in hand and has passed.
They are looking forward.

The Manchester City Club did not celebrate the FA Cup championship in any way. Perhaps even the fans were "tired". Everyone was waiting for Manchester City's last game.
It ’s like the next morning, the club ’s press conference for the FA Cup champion, Wan Sheng said, "I want to tell all Manchester City fans, all support Manchester City, the FA Cup is not worth celebrating Yes, because we have a more important match-the Champions League final! "
"It's a moment of celebration when we return from Moscow!"
A reporter asked, "What if Manchester City lost the Champions League ..."
"Failure! That is tantamount to failure!" Wan Sheng said loudly. "We won all the domestic champions in the UK, but only without the Champions League is tantamount to failure!"
"What else is there to celebrate?"
Soon the "no Champions League is tantamount to failure" theory, it appeared on many media reports.
Some commentators analyzed this and thought, "Even if Manchester City didn't win the Champions League, it would only be a little regret", "Manchester City is still successful this season." Not successful ', because the Champions League is very important, Manchester City have reached the finals, the failure of the finals is more painful than being eliminated early.
Soon supporting the Manchester City media, I felt that the topic was not very good.
The Champions League final has not yet started, how can we talk about 'Man City defeat'? Manchester City will definitely win!
So they turned to the topic of "what will happen if Chelsea lose the Champions League". Compared to Manchester City, Chelsea's results are much worse. They don't have any championships, and the league finally ranked third, the same as last season.
But counting Chelsea into the Champions League final, their results are much better than last season.
Now they are expected to win the Champions League!
For a time, 'Grant led the team well' or 'Mourinho led the team' became a debate, but to say the two's level of leadership, Mourinho has been unanimously recognized, most people only Think 'Grant is better luck'.
Then the discussion became ‘the consequence of Chelsea ’s defeat’. The Sun and the Times also expressed the view that the biggest consequence of Chelsea ’s defeat in the Champions League final is that Chelsea coach Grant, who is almost certain to leave the position.
"Abramovich can't allow a head coach with little ability to play by luck!"
Of course, this has nothing to do with Manchester City.
After the FA Cup final, the players didn't even have a day's vacation. In the morning, the whole team had already arrived at the stadium and started preparing for training.
Now they only have the Champions League final in Moscow and Chelsea.
Needless to say, the importance of the UEFA Champions League final, the entire season, the team's struggle in the Champions League, for the final battle.
Chelsea, the old opponent.
Wan Sheng and the rest of the coaching staff don't even need to do special research, because both sides know each other very well, so the preparation of the battle is still based on normal tactical training.
The disadvantage to Manchester City is that they played more FA Cup finals than Chelsea, so in comparison, Chelsea have more preparation time. They even arranged a warm-up match. Manchester City will not have this time. Even the first day of training, most of the time is spent on recovery training.
Soon from the final, there are only three days left.
Manchester City took a plane in the afternoon and flew to Moscow in advance to adapt to the environment. On the same day, Chelsea also flew to Moscow.
In Moscow in May, the difference between temperature and Britain is not small. Both teams must allow players to adapt to the environment in advance and get sufficient rest to be able to maintain a better state.

When the two teams arrived in Moscow, the city was already filled with smoke from the Champions League final.
From Domodedovo International Airport to Luzhniki Stadium under the Sparrow Hills, red and yellow posters of ball games are constantly appearing on tens of kilometers of roads. These posters painted with oil on the road surface appear every few hundred meters. , As if guiding the way for tens of thousands of British fans.
In the city, colorful flags printed with competition posters remind people that the war is coming.
Facing huge advertising expenses, the Russian organizers obviously hope to compensate by selling tickets.
According to media reports, the cheapest ticket price is now more than 1,000 US dollars, while the fare for VIP seats is as high as 7,500 euros.
In addition, seats in Moscow ’s hotels and football bars have already been booked out.
From two days ago, about 40,000 British fans began to flock to Moscow, which caused the Moscow police to be vigilant.
At present, about 7,000 police officers have begun to conduct 24-hour patrols in key areas of Moscow City to step up the investigation of suspicious personnel.
Although the British-Russian relations were once very tense due to the poisoning incident of the former Russian agent Litvinenko, which was raging last year, the police of the two countries also tried to cooperate in order to hold the Champions League final safely.
This time, the British police specially sent dozens of experienced police officers to Moscow to assist the Moscow police to closely monitor British fans in Moscow. In the United Kingdom, British Airways specially opened flights to transport two teams of fans; when After the plane arrived in Moscow, Russia also arranged for the fans of the two sides to land at different airports, so that they could avoid premature contact and avoid conflicts.
Playing in Moscow is also a big factor for Chelsea. Chelsea boss Abu ’s hometown, and Slavic star Shevchenko, is undoubtedly the most popular star among local Moscow fans.
So some media also said, "This is Chelsea's home game."
When the Manchester City team came to Moscow, a reporter asked Wan Sheng on this question, and Wan Sheng smiled disdainfully, "Moscow is Chelsea home? No, against Chelsea, the whole world is Manchester City home! Even if At Stamford Bridge, we have won more than once! So no matter what the home or not, we will definitely win the Champions League! "
Wan Sheng's powerful words gave Manchester City great encouragement.
Chelsea naturally did not want to be outdone. Head coach Grant immediately stood up and expressed his determination to win. He talked about the status of Chelsea players.
The first is Shepchenko, which has received much attention.
In the last round of Chelsea, Shepchenko scored a winning goal. Although Chelsea failed to surpass Manchester United to get the league second, but this at least proved the status of the Ukrainian, Grant comprehensive evaluation of Shepchenko for a season Performance, and said, "This is really a strange season for Shevchenko. He did not start well in the season. After he resumed training in recent weeks, he has performed much better. Compare his playing time in this season. , He has scored a lot of goals. "
After that, Grant talked about Anelka again. After Anelka came to Chelsea, he was mostly injured. The strikers included Drogba and Shepchenko. He did not play many times, but the league In the last two rounds, Anelka scored two goals in the game, the efficiency is quite high, Grant expects, "I hope he can still score here ~ EbookFREE.me ~ help us win the Champions League"
Then Grant talked about Terry again. Terry couldn't play because he was injured. Now he has recovered. "Terry can also play. Our defense is more stable. This decision will definitely play better."
When it comes to the Champions League final, Grant has a lot to say, this is not only the most important trophy of Chairman Abramovich, up and down Chelsea club, and those fanatic fans, are looking forward to the club's revenge against Manchester City in the final , Take back the big ear cup.
Grant said: "Of course our goal is the Champions League, but we need to pay more to win the trophy."
"The Champions League final will be a different experience. Now this is our goal. We really did not beat Manchester City this year, but here is Moscow. I believe the team can get this one, which is a very meaningful championship trophy for the club!"
After Grant expressed his determination to win, it seemed that Chelsea's fighting spirit and momentum were brought back, but Wan Sheng would not make him better ...
