I Want to Be the King of Football

Chelsea are tied!

Arsenal are level 1-1!

Red Devils Manchester United are still one-to-one!

When the first round of the Champions League group stage was over, the whole of the UK was shocked to find that the three traditionally strong teams in the Premier League were all tied, and the score was a strange one-to-one.

Is this a contract for all three teams?

In other words, what black hand is controlling the outcome of the game behind the scenes?

Otherwise, how to explain the three-match one-to-one, so strange?

However, the conspiracy theory was finally dashed in Manchester City's 2-0 win over Borussia Dortmund, but it was replaced by a surprise theory.

Last season, Manchester City replaced Liverpool and broke the monopoly of the four major families on the Premier League. Manchester City's 2-0 home win over Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League was also surprising.

Is Manchester City's opponent too weak?

Obviously not.

Dortmund are considered the strongest team in Pot 4, better than Arsenal's Napoli, let alone Manchester United's Benfica, or Chelsea's Valencia.

Whether in terms of player value or the team's past performance, Dortmund is recognized as the No. 1 in the fourth-tier team. After all, this is a brave team that almost knocked Bayern Munich out of the Bundesliga throne. Do not frighten any opponent.

But Manchester City is still in its own home, with the team's hard power, kill Dortmund.

Anyone who has watched this game will not doubt the strength of Manchester City's tough fight.

Dortmund still insists on what they are best at, that kind of stormy style of play, fouls, all kinds of aggressive tactics emerge in an endless stream, and at the same time they also play their sharpest quick counterattacks, but at the Etihad Stadium, Bumblebee still returned with hatred.

Many British media believe that Manchester City can win Dortmund in this game, and there are two heroes, one in front and one behind.

In front was Su Dong, who scored twice. He not only scored two goals himself, but also created a lot of opportunities for the team. Among them, two single-handed goals were passed to Di Maria and Sanchez.

But the teammates were not calm enough to deal with it.

In the end, he was elected as the best player of the game, and Su Dong deserved it.

Dortmund coach Klopp said at the post-match press conference that Manchester City's goal not long after the opening made Dortmund play passively, We are like we are fighting with the opponent for life and death with shackles and shackles, which makes Dortmund play passively. We were so constrained, we simply didn't play at the level we should have.

Klopp is reluctant to admit that Manchester City's passing and possession tactics are incomprehensible, and he is reluctant to admit that Dortmund's play is limited by Manchester City's passing and possession tactics, but he insists that the Hornets' players have performed well. , basically played its own characteristics, but Su Dong's goal solved the game.

I know a lot of people think that we have poor ball-handling stats in the game, but I would say that against such an opponent, we have to give full play to the quality of the players' will, especially in a long-term 0-1 downfall. circumstances.

Klopp said he was very satisfied that Dortmund were a united team.

In Manchester, trying to take control of the ball with Manchester City is absolutely a dream, we have to win the game in our own way, not learn from the opponent to do things that we are not good at.

Klopp said that he has two requirements for tonight's game. One is to play to the frontcourt at the fastest speed after grabbing the ball, and the other is to make no mistakes in defense.

In fact, the players have implemented these two requirements very well, but it is a pity that we are facing Su Dong tonight.

Klopp said that Su Dong is the king of Pele among active players.

I have known him for many years, and his form has always been at a very high level, which requires a lot of training on weekdays to accumulate and maintain. He can play as sexy as a Latin American player and as diligent as a German player. , as strong as a Nordic player, as flexible as a Spanish player, as punchy as an English player...

He can do everything you can imagine. He is like a perfect attacking machine. No one knows how to defend him. Maybe the only thing that can stop him from scoring is time!

Klopp also mentioned another Manchester City player, Courtois.

The Belgian goalkeeper saved Dortmund's many must-goal chances in this game, which made Klopp angry.

In the press conference, he openly stated that his team should actually score goals, even more goals than Manchester City.

It's a pity that tonight they had a wall in front of their goal and our shots were always denied.

I know that my players have tried their best, but we haven't been able to break the goal guarded by this young goalkeeper.

It is quite normal for Su Dong to get praise from the opponent's head coach, but as a goalkeeper, it is a bit difficult, especially for Manchester City.

Manchester City last season was a famous goalkeeper for pulling his hips. Although Joe Hart conceded very few goals, it was mostly because of the strong back line. He made a lot of mistakes himself. So far this season, Kuhl has Tuva's goal has not been broken.

This definitely took everyone by surprise.

Van der Sar set a record of more than 1,300 minutes of clean sheets in the Premier League back then. It can be said that he is a jewel in the front. Courtois' clean sheet has just begun, and it is far from being on a par with his predecessors, or even with Cech. When compared to the door god, it is inevitable that he is slightly inferior, but he is only nineteen years old, and he is still very young.

Guardiola also praised Courtois by name in the post-match press conference, believing that he showed the level of a world-class goalkeeper in this game and won the approval of the dressing room and everyone.

I know that his idol is Van der Sar, and now, I want to tell him that he is walking on the road that Van der Sar has walked, and I hope he can continue to work hard and strive to show in the next game. better performance.

Not only the Manchester City manager, but the British media also changed their previous attitude towards Courtois.

As we all know, the media in all countries protect their shortcomings, but as long as the local players in the UK perform a little better, the media will immediately start to boil, and they are all like the rebirth of the king. , and none of them were able to meet the expectations of the year.

When Joe Hart was competing with Courtois, the English media supported Joe Hart unanimously, believing that the England goalkeeper should naturally become the main force of Manchester City, which does not need any reason at all.

Even at that time, Guardiola was under pressure for supporting Courtois and was criticized by the media.

But gradually, with the competition between the two players, Joe Hart and Courtois took turns playing. Although it was only the beginning of the season, everyone had basically seen the characteristics and differences between the two players. Joe Hart It's really not suitable for Manchester City's tactical play, and Courtois does perform better and more stable than Joe Hart.

Before tonight, Courtois replaced Joe Hart in the starting lineup, and the voices of doubts and accusations were obviously much smaller. After seeing Courtois's excellent performance, at the post-match press conference, the media The sound is obviously much lower.

Some media have even asked Guardiola if he is sure that Courtois will be the main goalkeeper after Manchester City?

This is obviously very weak.

It's like asking Guardiola, does Joe Hart still have a chance?

If it was before, how could the British media, the uncrowned king, ask such a question?

It turns out that they have basically recognized Courtois' performance, but they are still fighting for Joe Hart.

Guardiola's reply is also very official. He said that Manchester City does not have the so-called main force and substitute. Anyone who is in good condition, performs well and trains hard can play the game.

The goalkeeper position will be special, but we will still carry out rotations and choose the best and most suitable players to start, to ensure the stability of the team's performance and results.

2-0 home victory over Dortmund, won the club's first ever Champions League game.

Manchester City won unanimous praise from the media and fans after the game.

Barcelona has been the best team in European football in the past few years. They have deep-rooted passing and controlling genes, and in the eyes of many people, Manchester City is a replica of Barcelona, ​​from the management to the manager, and even to the players. The configuration is like that.

But in the European Super Cup, Manchester City beat Barcelona in the most Barcelona way.

Although Mourinho argued after the game that Barcelona's main battlefield is not in the European Super Cup at all, and they did not put the European Super Cup in the first place, but everyone knows that this is just to console themselves after losing the game. reason.

After beating Barcelona, ​​Manchester City has the strength to compete with any team in the Champions League, whether in the Champions League or in the Premier League, Manchester City's performance is amazing.

L'Equipe once again reiterated the importance of Sudong to Manchester City, even citing a sentence that Guardiola has repeatedly said many times.

Whether it is at the spiritual level or at the competitive level, Su Dong is the irreplaceable leader of the team!
