Chapter 173 The Opening of the 2005-2006 Season

The Premier League began on August 8, with the defending champion Manchester City meeting Everton, who has returned to the Premier League, in the opening game.

Everton stood out early from the English Championship last season. The head coach Moyes is still very good and brought Everton back to the Premier League in one season.

Before the game, Moyes was more confident, thinking that his team only conceded 22 goals in the English Championship last season, the defense was reliable, and at least one point could be brought back from the away game.

However, after the game started, Moyes quickly couldn't sit still.

In the opening 9 minutes, Van Persie suddenly accelerated and broke through the front of the penalty area, entered the penalty area and volleyed vigorously, 1:0!

Van Persie rushed to the sidelines excitedly, then slid and knelt to celebrate, and then lay down on the ground again, as if he could give up me.

This is also the first goal of Manchester City in the new season. Van Persie used a forced breakthrough to score, which opened the curtain of Manchester City's new season.

The home fans also stood up and applauded. Since joining Manchester City, Van Persie has been playing very well. This season, if he stays healthy, he can definitely score more goals.

Mourinho nodded slightly on the sidelines. Now in the Premier League, he doesn't have much passion. To play Everton, he has already booked 3 points.

As the game continued, Everton still struggled to play an effective offense. Manchester City quickly intercepted the ball and began to control the ball again.

In 12 minutes, Lampard's midfielder actually played an extraordinary game.

After being inherited by Zidane, Lampard's technical ability has greatly increased, and the work at his feet is very detailed.

After consecutive Marseille gyrations passed the opponent's players, Lampard suddenly made a strong long-range shot, and the ball flew into the dead corner, 2:0!

Able to pass and shoot, Lampard is even more terrifying.

The continuous Marseille roundabouts are simply superb, and the home fans are mesmerized by watching.

In 15 minutes, Reyes was not willing to be lonely. After a high-speed breakthrough from the wing, he cut into the penalty area, shook the opponent's three players in a row, and then scored the ball into the dead corner, 3:0!

Three goals in 15 minutes, it is estimated that Moyes is also full of grief.

Why is it so difficult to return to the first game of the Premier League?

From the beginning to the end of the game, Manchester City held the initiative. The final score was 5:0, and Manchester City ushered in a good start to the new season.

The scariest thing is the statistics. Manchester City’s ball possession rate has reached an astonishing 65%. Their style is developing towards the flow of the ball. There is no doubt that Guardiola’s usual training is definitely a must for Mourinho. After the wind blows, Mourinho also wants to try a new style.

After the game, Mourinho said that this is a routine operation. Manchester City is very mature and will basically not lose points in the face of teams that are not as strong as their own.

Moyes also admitted that he is not as skilled as others, and said that Everton needs to correct their attitude, and the goal of the new season is to relegation.

In other games, Manchester United drew 1:1 with Crystal Palace at home, but failed to get off to a good start.

Although Drogba smashed the goal of Crystal Palace with a header in the 29th minute, Luke also responded with a header in the 49th minute, and the two teams finally scored one point each.

From this point of view, Manchester United is indeed not as stable as Manchester City. Although the Crystal Palace team is not weak, it is far behind Manchester United.

However, Manchester United spent hundreds of millions of pounds to build a luxurious lineup, but they played a tug-of-war with Crystal Palace players throughout the game, and were froze by the defense of the Crystal Palace team.

La Nieli also lacked confidence after the game, thinking that the team has not entered the state for the time being, and will adjust later.

On the contrary, Li Bing is young and strong, and he thinks that Manchester United is not as strong as he imagined. His team also missed two single-handed opportunities, which should have taken away three points.

Arsenal beat Newcastle United 2-0 at home, Wenger's team got off to a good start.

After the first round, Manchester City are undisputedly top of the table, and they have done so in the past few seasons.

From the start, be the leader.

The next day, the media also wrote articles one after another, thinking that Manchester City is more mature than before, the style of Lampard and others is changing, and their technical strength is the first in the Premier League.

Although this is a bit of an exaggeration, Manchester City is indeed changing its style, creating a technical wind in the Premier League.

In this regard, Arsenal can also keep up with the pace, their technical ability is also good, and the scene is very smooth.

If winning Everton is just a small test, then Manchester City's 1:7 rout of Birmingham in the second round is a bit of a taste of getting better.

The team played more and more in control around Kaka and Lampard.

Less than 2 minutes into the game, Van Persie received a direct header from Bolt in the penalty area and scored the ball into the dead corner.

Five minutes later, Abed made a pass from the left, Van Persie made a point forward, and the ball flew into the goal again.

The combination of both sides made the home team helpless, the disadvantage in speed, and the fear of Kaka and Lampard in the middle made Birmingham's defense stretched and full of loopholes.

In 23 minutes, Van Persie received a direct pass from Kaka, pushed the far corner and scored a hat-trick.

This season, he entered the state really quickly, and his all-round center forward level made it impossible for opponents to guard against him. Not only did he run well, but his explosiveness, speed, and shooting aim were all impeccable.

Later, he was also replaced by Charlie Sheringham. Now that he has performed a hat-trick, there is no need to stay on the court.

Because of the world preliminaries, many players may not have recovered their physical fitness, and they will definitely be rotated on a large scale in the new season.

Charlie Sheringham didn't embarrass his father after he came up. He attacked Birmingham's defense many times, and his desire to shoot was very strong.

In 40 minutes and 44 minutes, he fired suddenly from outside the penalty area twice, and the ball flew into the goal very trickily, exactly like Hubner's shot.

This naturally made Mourinho overjoyed, feeling that there seems to be a magical ability inside Manchester City that can always be passed on by old players, which Mourinho attributed to the studious and smartness of young players.

The half-time score was 0:5, and the fans of the home team had already run away.

Spending money to watch the game, but watching the game was full of anger. Birmingham fans began to defect in the first half, very dissatisfied with the team management and coaching staff.

However, for a small team like Birmingham, it is indeed difficult to compete with Manchester City. Their fans are a bit too harsh. In fact, Birmingham is a relegation team. It is not terrible to lose points against a strong team. Only they can win against relegation opponents. If you have the advantage, there is no problem.

In the second half, another striker who came up, Mandzukic, also scored twice. He also basically absorbed Tristan's inheritance, and was very calm in front of the goal, showing the essence of a shooter.

In the end, the team beat Birmingham 1:7, and the three forwards scored 7 goals. This also allowed Manchester City's offensive strength to be fully demonstrated, and at the same time gave the opponent a great deterrent.

When encountering Manchester City in the future, it is estimated that most teams will defend honestly.

Compared with Manchester City's strength, Manchester United's 1-0 home victory over Villa was once again criticized by the outside world.

It seems that La Nieli really had a difficult start. If this was in Chelsea, of course no one would say anything about him, but in Manchester United, with 4 points in two rounds and only 2 goals, it is difficult to convince the public, especially with rivals in the same city This reference point is now under a little pressure.

How can it be so easy to be the head coach of a wealthy team?
