Chapter 684 What happened to Manchester City?
Thirteen minutes after the first goal, in the 13th minute of the first half, Sanchez received a pass from Ozil in the penalty area and scored again.

Before the end of the first half, Manchester City fell behind by two goals under the onslaught of the Gunners.

Manchester City fans can't remember how long it has been since they saw their team in such a mess.

What is even more embarrassing is that the guessing has just begun.

Not just this game, but a period of time destined not to be short.

At the end of the intermission and the start of the second half, Arsenal won a corner kick in the 61st minute.

Ozil took the penalty and hoisted the ball into the Manchester City penalty area.

Kolarov, who jumped up to make a clearance, was the first to touch the football.

But the problem is that the football touched by Kolarov did not fly towards the outside of the penalty area, but went straight to the goal.

How could Navas have thought that his teammates would push the ball into his own goal, but he couldn't make a save and watched the football fly into the goal.

3-0.

Kolarov's own goal completely helped Arsenal seal the victory.

After that, although Arsenal failed to score again, Manchester City also tried their best to find no chance.

In the end, when the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Manchester City lost to Arsenal in a way that the outside world did not expect.

In this game, Manchester City was not only sleepwalking defensively, but was played by Arsenal's midfielder like a fly without a head.

After Wenger cut off the connection between David Silva and the striker, Lampard lacked the tacit understanding with Ibrahimovic and Aguero, which directly led to the complete loss of contact in Manchester City's frontcourt and fell into chaos. The field does nothing.

It was hard for everyone to imagine that this losing team was clearly dominating Europe a month ago, heading towards an unprecedented seven-time championship.

In the current one, there is no trace of the master of the king.

Now it doesn't look like a team that has just created three consecutive league titles and the Champions League.

Everyone only saw confusion, bewilderment, headless cooperation, and inexplicable tactics.

After losing Yang Mo, Manchester City's fake powerful mask was shattered by Arsenal.

All the problems of the Manchester City team were more thoroughly exposed to all opponents.

Manchester City, what's the matter?
This is the doubt in everyone's mind.

However, there is no time for Manchester City to explain to everyone, because after the fiasco with Arsenal, Manchester City rushed to Italy non-stop to prepare for the first game of the UEFA Champions League in the new season.

In the previous UEFA Champions League group draw and awards ceremony, Manchester City, which won three consecutive championships, had a great harvest. Among them, Yang Mo deservedly won the honor of the best player in Europe.

However, because of the injury and surgery in the United States, Yang Mo's award was led by Jaina.

Naturally, Yang Mo also missed the group draw. He only read the result of the draw after arriving in Los Angeles.

In the 2014/2015 UEFA Champions League draw group, Manchester City, as the defending champion, should be ranked in the first tier.

But the result of the draw was not good for Manchester City.

In Group E where Manchester City is located, the second tier team is the old rival Juventus just met in the valuable warm-up match, the third tier team is CSKA Moscow, and the fourth tier team is the Swedish team Malmo.

Ignore Malmö without mentioning it.

Needless to say, Juventus, the old woman who once again dominates Serie A is definitely not easy to deal with.

And CSKA Moscow has always been a traditional strong team in the Champions League, especially the cold home field can bring them a lot of advantages.

If it was Manchester City before, no one would think that Manchester City had any problems in the group stage.

But now, after being knocked out of shape by Arsenal, many people are worried about Manchester City.

At this time, many people who previously expressed Yang Mo's uselessness have gradually calmed down.

Although there are still people who are unrepentant and come up with various explanations, most of them have been silent.

Even the media stopped asking the question.

Because compared to hyping that Manchester City does not need Yang Mo, obviously after a big defeat, readers are more interested in Manchester City's Yang Mo dependence.

Manchester City without Yang Mo is simply too much news.

On September 9th, at the Allianz Stadium of Juventus, Manchester City, the defending champion of the three consecutive Champions League, with the champion badge and the number 18 embroidered on the jersey arm, ushered in the first UEFA Champions League.

It has been less than a month since the last pre-season warm-up match.

Juventus is still the same Juventus, but Manchester City is not the same Manchester City.

In this game, Pellegrini boldly chose the young new aid De Bruyne to start with Silva in the midfield position.

Prior to this, because Simeone was not optimistic about De Bruyne, Pellegrini had some taboos and had not allowed De Bruyne to enter the league squad.

But helplessly, the cooperation between Lampard and his teammates was really bad, and De Bruyne performed well in the training game. Pellegrini could only ignore Simeone's "suggestion" and let De Bruyne appear. .

However, in the case of the collapse of the whole team, it will not help Pellegrini to change anyone at this time.

In this game against Juventus, De Bruyne's playing did play a role, and he completed the connection between the midfield and the frontcourt very well when Silva was blocked.

But with his own strength, he couldn't turn the tide of decline after all.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the score of 2-0 told everyone that Manchester City lost in the first game of the UEFA Champions League in the new season.

The failure of the three consecutive defending champions caused waves again.

Many people were happy to see last season's invincible overlord suddenly fall into the dust, gloating.

The defeat in the Champions League is just the beginning of the chain reaction of Manchester City's defeat.

After the first game of the Champions League, Manchester City returned to home and ushered in the fifth round of the Premier League.

This time the opponent is Chelsea.

The battle between the two blues was destined to be a match between sparks and the earth before it even started.

Whether Manchester City can change their decline depends on the performance of this game.

Manchester City fans, of course hope so.

But when the game started, they discovered that sometimes hope is beautiful, but reality is cruel.

How could Mourinho, an old fox, fail to see the crux of Manchester City's crux, and stormed Manchester City's wing at the beginning.

But without Yang Mo's restraint in the frontcourt, Manchester City's right side was quickly blown up under Mourinho's targeted arrangement.

Right-back Zabaleta was sent off for two yellow cards in the 39th minute of the first half, and Manchester City had to fight with 10 men.

With the tactics suppressed and one less player fighting, the result of Manchester City's game is self-evident.

Falling behind in the first half due to Chelsea Schurrle's shot.

After the start of the second half, Hazard and Diego Costa each scored another goal.

In the end, Manchester City was swept by Chelsea with three goals at home.

Having just been defeated by Arsenal with three goals at home, followed by Chelsea with the same three goals, Manchester City's decline not only failed to recover, but on the contrary seemed to be in a slump.

Four consecutive wins and three losses in all competitions.

What happened to Manchester City?
It became everyone's biggest doubt.
