Glory Greenery

Chapter 541

On July 7, Manchester City's official website released the summer training plan for the new season, as well as the pre-season warm-up schedule.

Gathered on July 7, except for a few players with national team tasks, basically the main players of the first team were present.

On July 7, the summer training officially began, of course, not in the UK.

After all, the terrible weather in England, even in summer, is not a comfortable place.

For Manchester City, the summer training is not only to allow players to participate in training and maintain their state, but also to give players a time to rest.

The club competition ended at the end of May, and many players didn't rest at all, and they went to the national team's competition again.

If there is still high-intensity training and competition at this time, it will only prevent players from taking a good rest and further affect the state of the new season.

This summer, the training location arranged by Manchester City is Durban, South Africa.

This place is a shopping and tourist attraction in South Africa, with all kinds of modern facilities, which can fully meet the training needs of Manchester City.

Here, in addition to good training, the players will also have a good vacation and leisure.

Of course, it is impossible to come to South Africa just for training. On July 7, the Manchester City team will play the first pre-season match against Super Sports United in Pretoria, the administrative capital of South Africa.

The super sports company is in the top league in South Africa and belongs to the top strong team.

Of course, compared with the newly promoted Manchester City, the natural strength gap is obvious.

The purpose of choosing such a team is naturally very simple, it is to help the team familiarize themselves with the state of the game in advance.

In addition to the super sports team, Manchester City also arranged a warm-up match in South Africa, against the South African Amazulu team on July 7.

However, due to his hand injury, Yang Mo was unable to participate in these two games.

But not being able to participate in the competition does not mean that Yang Mo is unable to train. In addition to a simple training with his teammates during the day, Yang Mo has to enter the virtual training ground for other training at night.

After the Confederations Cup, by playing against strong teams like Brazil and Italy, his system that had been silent for most of the season was finally upgraded.

lv30!

After getting ten talent points, without hesitation, Yang Mo added all of them to the free kick talent.

Why this is added, because he found that he needs the ability to set the ball too much.

In the club, many teammates are free kick masters, and it doesn't matter whether he takes a penalty or not.

But in the national team, especially in this Confederations Cup, when his teammates' set-pieces were unreliable, he knew that he must have the ability to use set-pieces to decide the victory.

Otherwise, the opponent knows that he is not good at setting the ball, and repeatedly fouls and defends against him, but he has nothing to do.

After ten fixed talent points were added to the set piece talent, his upper limit of set piece talent was increased from 70 to 80. Although he didn't reach the level of a master, it was still better than before without a threat.

And as the level continues to improve, that set-piece ability will become his big killer sooner or later.

In addition to these two warm-up matches in South Africa, Manchester City still has a lot of games in the summer.

From July 7th to July 24th, the Manchester City team will leave South Africa and rush to Xiangjiang to participate in the Premier League Asia Challenge Cup.

On July 7, Manchester City was invited by sponsor Audi to rush to Germany to participate in the Audi Cup.

In the first match, they will face the Serie A giants AC Milan. As for the final opponent of the Audi Cup, it will be between Bayern Munich and Sao Paulo.

It can be said that Manchester City has already arranged a full schedule for the summer training in July.

After the Manchester City team came to Durban, as Yang Mo improved his set-piece ability day and night, the time has come to July 7 unknowingly.

Manchester City ushered in their first pre-season warm-up match at the Super Stadium in Pretoria.

In this game, Manchester City's opponent Super Sports United played the main force in order to face the Triple Crown Manchester City.

On the contrary, Manchester City has several main players who failed to play.

Especially on the front line, the three main forwards are all absent, Aguero and Ibrahimovic failed to return to the team because of the national team game, and the core thigh Yang Mo was unable to appear due to a hand injury.

It can be said that Manchester City, which debuted in such a remnant formation, disappointed many South African fans who came to see the triple crown.

And when the game started, the fans were even more disappointed to find that Manchester City did not play very well in this game.

After the whole game, the offense was weak and the defense was poor. The performance of new aid Fernandinho also proved that this player has not yet integrated into Manchester City well.

In the end, Manchester City's unexpected 2-0 loss to the South African Supersports United, in the upcoming 2013/2014 season, opened the door to an upset.

Of course, many media commented after the game that Manchester City's loss in this game was not surprising.

The failure of the new aid to integrate into the team, coupled with the absence of the three main forwards, caused Manchester City to lose almost half of their combat power.

Moreover, after the return of Joe Hart, the main goalkeeper who was injured in last season, the performance of this game is also quite poor.

It can be said that the two goals of the South African Super Sports United are related to Joe Hart's mistakes.

Obviously, the injury caused the Manchester City main goalkeeper's state to decline a bit, and he urgently needs time to recover.

However, the team's displeasure at losing was soon followed by another event.

On July 18, the day before the second warm-up match on the 7th, Yang Mo celebrated his 17rd birthday.

As the pillar of Manchester City, the management of Manchester City will certainly not miss the opportunity to express their goodwill to Yang Mo on his birthday.

Buying air tickets in advance and lent Yang Mo's younger sister Yang Yue and her girlfriend to Durban just to surprise Yang Mo.

Although Yang Mo is not short of airfare for these two chapters, the management of Manchester City is just trying to show their hearts.

Besides, Yang Mo and his sister are twins, and they happened to get together on their birthday.

On his birthday, Manchester City held a grand birthday party for Yang Mo.

Team chairman Mubarak went to South Africa to celebrate Yang Mo's birthday. Even though the big boss Mansour couldn't be there, he gave Yang Mo and his sister two valuable gifts.

Yang Yue's gift is a set of customized jewelry.

And Yang Mo's gift is a car key.

Ever since he knew that Yang Mo likes supercars, Mansur has followed suit and given Yang Mo a Bugatti.

This time, Mansur's gift to Yang Mo was a limited-edition super sports car, the McLaren P1, which had just been launched.

For others, this McLaren limited edition supercar is not easy to buy.

But for a super rich man like Mansour, whether it is the price of more than 200 million US dollars, or the purchase qualifications that are boasted by the outside world, it is not a problem at all.

In short, the management of Manchester City worked hard to win over Yang Mo.

Who made Yang Mo too important to Manchester City now, and there are so many hungry wolves in the outside world staring at Yang Mo, those guys hope that Manchester City and Yang Mo will have a quarrel, and then take advantage of the situation to poach the wall.
