Chapter 548 Moyes' hell-level test
"It was [-]-[-] in the first half. Manchester City didn't save any face for AC Milan. I hope AC Milan can adjust in the second half, otherwise it won't look good if they continue to lose."

As a commentator who once commented on the Serie A league, Huang Jianxiang was somewhat moved when he saw AC Milan lose so badly.

Facing the Premier League, the strength of La Liga, and the decline of Serie A in the small World Cup, many old fans really regret it.

However, Pellegrini also seems to feel that this kind of score in this kind of game is a bit too much.

Therefore, after the start of the second half, Manchester City carried out a large-scale personnel replacement. Among the replaced players, there were Yang Mo and Ibrahimovic.

And just after Yang Mo was missing, Manchester City's frontcourt offense finally slowed down, allowing AC Milan's defensive players to breathe.

The two teams began to play back and forth on the field.

Manchester City's substitute lineup focused on experimenting with tactics, and did not take offense and defense very seriously, which gave AC Milan a lot of opportunities.

And AC Milan took the opportunity to score 3 goals in the second half, which finally saved a lot of face.

However, the score was about to be tied, but in the 81st minute, Silva once again extended the score to 5-3 with a long shot.

In the end, the first match of the Audi Cup ended with Manchester City beating AC Milan 5-3.

The score is exaggerated, the rhythm of offense and defense is very fast, and the game is not enough to describe the game as exciting.

Even if the two teams are not very serious, the fans are still very satisfied with the strong teams.

The next day, when Bayern played another semi-final with St. Pauli, Yang Mo made an appointment with Balotelli, De Jong and other old AC Milan teammates.

This guy Balotelli still didn't change his mind, he insisted on dragging Yang Mo to the nightclub after dinner.

Fortunately, Yang Mo's "will" was firm, and he withstood Balotelli's "gracious invitation". In the end, the news that the three of them stayed in a nightclub did not appear on the front page of the next day.

In the match between Bayern and St. Pauli, Bayern defeated Sao Paulo 2-0 and successfully joined Manchester City in the final.

After this game, the Audi Cup was suspended for one day.

When the time came to August 8rd, in the morning, it was the third place competition between AC Milan and St. Pauli.

Although AC Milan had no choice but to play against Manchester City, it was still easy to play Sao Paulo, suppressed the audience, and finally won easily and won the third place.

In the afternoon, Bayern's game against Manchester City, which was hailed by the outside world as the battle of revenge in the new season, officially began.

In fact, before the start of the Audi Cup, the media was fantasizing about Manchester City facing Bayern. After all, these two teams have too many stories to tell.

Just Yang Mo's counterattack against Bayern in the two Champions League finals after "defecting" is enough for reporters to hype.

After Bayern's treble champion was overthrown by Manchester City in the last step last season, this season, in order to avenge their shame, they invested huge sums of money in signings in the summer.

After sending away veterans such as Tymoshchuk and Gomez, they spent 3700 million euros to buy the 92-year-old midfielder Gotze from Dortmund, and spent 2500 million euros to buy the 91-year-old midfielder Tia from Barcelona. Ge.

Judging from the age of these two players, Bayern is obviously planning for the future of the team, hoping that the joining of young players can bring different vitality to Bayern.

On the contrary, after winning the Triple Crown and defending the Champions League, Manchester City only bought one Fernandinho after appeasing several players who wanted a salary increase.

Pellegrini has also considered several signing candidates before, but after discussing with Yang Mo, he feels that the current lineup is very mature and it is not yet time to update it.

Therefore, Manchester City, which has spent a lot of money in Europe in the past few years, surprisingly did not spend much money this summer, which makes everyone a little uncomfortable.

In the midst of much anticipation, this Audi Cup final from last season's Champions League final opponent has officially begun.

When entering the arena, Yang Mo chatted happily with a group of old teammates.

Although the outside world made this game a mystery, for the players, this kind of game where winning or losing didn't matter, they really didn't take it to heart.

And as the game started, everyone could clearly see that the two teams played quite casually.

On Bayern's side, Robben is still recovering from a sprained ankle, Ribery is sitting on the bench, and two young new aids are starting the game. This posture does not look like an Avenger at all.

As for Manchester City, after Ibrahimovic played for 10 minutes in the first half, he also expressed back discomfort and was substituted.

Yang Mo's performance in this game was not as crazy as in the previous game. In the first half, he only gave Aguero an assist and it was over.

In the second half, after Bayern scored an equalizer goal from Muller, Yang Mo was replaced by Pellegrini without scoring a goal.

In the end, when the whole game was over, the score was fixed at 3-1.

With a gap of two goals, Manchester City handed over the Audi Cup champion to Bayern.

If you don't watch the game, just look at the result, Bayern can be regarded as "successful revenge".

But anyone who has watched the game will feel that Bayern is not an "Avenger" at all.

Regardless of how the outside world commented on the game in the end, at least the Manchester City team didn't think it was a big deal to lose.

Pellegrini felt that the purpose of the game was to experiment with some tactical ideas for the new season. Now that the goal has been achieved, winning or losing doesn't really matter.

As for the players, of course they don't have any ideas.

Audi Cup, please, this kind of trophy may not even count as honor in the eyes of players.

After the game, after drifting away for almost a month, the Manchester City team finally returned to Manchester City.

Compared with the Audi Cup, which is a completely friendly match, in England, there is a real battle waiting for Manchester City five days later.

In the 2013 Charity Shield, England's "Super Cup", Manchester City will face Manchester United at Wembley Stadium in London.

Originally, the Charity Shield was between the league champions and the FA Cup champions, but Manchester City won two trophies last season, so according to the regulations, the league runner-up Manchester United came on top.

This season is a year of change for Manchester United.

After Ferguson retired, David Moyes became the new coach of the Red Devils. The fans missed Ferguson, but Ferguson's retirement was already doomed.

Although the outside world is still skeptical about David Moyes' ability to be the Manchester United coach, it cannot change this fact.

Compared with the big signings of other teams, after David Moyes took office, there was only one signing that could be said throughout the summer, from Everton's Belgian midfielder Fellaini.

Of course, the fans are not satisfied with such signings.

What the fans don't know is that David Moyes himself is not satisfied with such signings.

But what can I do if I am not satisfied?

Anyone who knows the inside story knows that David Moyes is not Ferguson, and he does not have the right to speak in the hands of the Glazer family for a large transfer fee.

No money, how to sign?

David Moyes still wants to buy Yang Mo, the question is can Manchester United afford it?

But regardless of whether Moyes is satisfied with the signings, the upcoming Community Shield Cup will be a test to test his position as Manchester United coach.

And because the opponent is Manchester City, the difficulty of this test is definitely hell level.
