Chapter 542 Premier League Asian Challenge Cup

After the birthday party arranged by Manchester City for Yang Mo, Yang Yue and Barbara returned to China without staying in South Africa.

Yang Mo continued to stay in the team and ushered in a warm-up match with the Amazulu team on the 18th.

Although Yang Mo was still unable to play in this game due to injury, among the three main strikers of Manchester City, Ibrahimovic ended the national team game and returned to the team to participate.

With Ibrahimovic's role in the frontcourt, Manchester City's offense finally took shape in this warm-up game.

Although he couldn't play the suppressing power of the main force, he finally didn't lose again after the whole game, relying on Ibrahimovic's long-range shot to win a small 1-0 game.

After the two warm-up matches in South Africa, the Manchester City team did not rush to Xiangjiang to participate in the Premier League Asia Challenge Cup immediately, but continued to train in Durban.

The results of one win and one loss in the two warm-up matches obviously cannot satisfy the head coach Manuel Pellegrini.

The problems exposed by Manchester City in the warm-up match, the recovery of Joe Hart, and the integration of Fernandinho into the team all urgently need to be resolved.

Pellegrini, who was dissatisfied, decisively increased the intensity of training in Durban, and the Manchester City players who practiced for a while complained endlessly.

However, after last season's Triple Crown, Pellegrini can be regarded as a foothold in the position of Manchester City's head coach.

As long as Yang Mo doesn't express his dissatisfaction, Pellegrini's wrist is enough to make the other players train obediently.

The high-intensity training lasted until July 7, and Aguero, who had finished playing in the national team, finally returned to the team.

And when Aguero returned to the team, Yang Mo left the team and rushed to Germany alone.

After such a long period of recuperation, his wrist injury has basically healed. Although Manchester City hired a team physiotherapist for Yang Mo, a detailed examination still needs to be carried out in Germany.

After the inspection in Germany, he doesn't need to go back to Durban, but just take a plane to Xiangjiang.

With the ardent concern of Manchester City's top management, the results of Yang Mo's inspection in Germany were released.

The result is very gratifying. Yang Mo's wrist injury has fully recovered, and he can participate in adaptive training with the team.

As soon as they got the news, Manchester City's official website issued an announcement, saying that Yang Mo's injury had recovered and he could train with the team.

In Manchester City, matters related to Yang Mo are the top priority.

The recovery of Yang Mo's injury will not only greatly increase Manchester City's strength, but also further inspire the confidence of the fans.

And in the face of the upcoming Premier League Asian Challenge Cup in China, the news of Yang Mo's recovery from injury can also better stimulate fans to watch the game.

After all, in China, no player can be more appealing than Yang Mo.

On July 7, the Manchester City team arrived in Xiangjiang.

When the Triple Crown arrived in Hong Kong, several Hong Kong fans showed great enthusiasm. Dozens of media outlets and thousands of fans went to the airport to pick them up, wanting to witness the demeanor of the stars.

But to everyone's regret, Yang Mo, who had just finished the inspection in Germany, did not arrive with the team, which disappointed many fans who came to see Yang Mo.

As the most successful player in today's football, Yang Moxia's performance in the Confederations Cup has fascinated countless fans.

Whether it's Yang Mo's skills or his playing style, he has become a fan of Tai Neng.

However, Yang Mo's arrival did not make Xiangjiang fans wait too long.

On July 7, the day before the competition, Yang Mo walked out of Xiangjiang Airport alone accompanied by several bodyguards.

This time, because the itinerary was kept secret, apart from being discovered by fans and stewardesses on the plane, he did not bring attitudes of onlookers when he got off the airport, allowing him to easily join the team.

However, it was completely impossible for him to escape the siege of Xiangjiang reporters by avoiding the incident at the airport.

On July 7th, when he arrived at Xiangjiang Stadium to prepare for the game, Yang Mo was surrounded by reporters outside the stadium. Those entertainment reporters who had nothing to do with sports were about to shoot the camera in Yang Mo's face.

"Xiangjiang's paparazzi really live up to their reputation." Faced with this situation, Yang Mo could only sigh.

The reporters are most concerned about one thing, and that is whether Yang Mo, who has been confirmed to recover from injury, will play in this game.

In fact, this matter has been concerned by domestic fans since Yang Mo announced that he was recovering from injury.

There are not many opportunities for Yang Mo to return to China to compete with the club. Once there is a game, domestic fans who like to play will come to watch the game.

This time the Premier League Asian Challenge Cup, Yang Mo and Manchester City returned to China to compete, the first game at the Xiangjiang Stadium had more than 5 tickets, and they were sold out as soon as they disappeared.

In addition to the local fans in Xiangjiang, fans from other provinces and cities across the country almost bought them. On this day, they would travel thousands of miles to watch Yang Mo's game.

It can be seen from this that everyone is eager to see Yang Mo's game with their own eyes.

Therefore, whether Yang Mo can play has become the most concerned thing for everyone.

"I won't start this game, but I will enter the squad. Whether I can play or not depends on the decision of the head coach."

Yang Mo's answer somewhat disappointed everyone.

But entering the big list, at least let everyone retain some hope, maybe Yang Mo will appear on the stage.

The Premier League Asia Challenge Cup is a promotional friendly match held by the Premier League in order to expand its influence in Asia.

Generally, three Premier League teams will be selected, and together with a team from the host city, they will compete for the championship through two rounds of competition.

In Europe, many leagues are very jealous when they see the influence of the Premier League in Asia.

But these people are just jealous, but they don't understand how much effort the Premier League has made to expand its influence in Asia.

The game time is specially adjusted for Asian audiences, the Asian tours of the major giants teams every year, and the Asian Challenge Cup specially created for Asian fans.

These are all things that those leagues that are jealous of the Premier League can't do it at all.

If you only care about your jealousy, but you can't let go of your figure, if you don't work hard, how can you get the market.

In this year's Premier League Asian Challenge Cup, apart from Manchester City, the four participating teams are Tottenham Hotspur and Sunderland.

The host local team is Xiangjiang Jiangnan Hua, the team with the longest history and the first Chinese team in Asia.

The first game held at the Xiangjiang Stadium is Manchester City against the host Xiangjiang Nanhua.

Before the game even started, the two specially invited guest commentators began to warm up.

An old friend of a domestic fan was specially invited to explain Zhan Jun in this game.

And the other one is the famous singer in Xiangjiang, Principal Tan.

As a player of the Xiangjiang Star Football Team, Principal Tan is a full-fledged fan, and there is no problem in inviting him.

Zhan Jun: "Principal Tan, the fans of Xiangjiang are really enthusiastic. The whole stand is full of seats."

Principal Tan: "Of course, today Yang Mo led Manchester City to the Xiangjiang game, how could the fans not be enthusiastic."

Zhan Jun: "Yes, you can see that most of the fans at the scene are wearing Yang Mo's jersey."

Principal Tan: "I'm just a little worried. Yang Mo has just recovered from his hand injury. Before the game, he said that he will not start this game. If he really doesn't play, it would be a pity."

Zhan Jun: "I don't think so. Manchester City will definitely take care of the feelings of domestic fans. It should be no problem for Yang Mo to play, but I don't know how long he can play."
