I Want to Be the King of Football

After two weeks of national team competition, the players returned to Carrington one after another.

The internationals who play in Europe will arrive earlier, the South American internationals will arrive a day before the game.

This is also because Manchester City specializes in chartered flights. If they let them fly by themselves, it will take longer.

This is also the biggest problem brought by the national team game.

The game itself is really nothing to say, the most important thing is the distance.

Some internationals even played a game without rest after flying back, and returned directly after the game. Almost all the players' consumption was spent on long-distance travel.

On the afternoon of the day before the game, after the team's training session, Su Dong specially kept all the players of the first team.

At this time, the staff of Mendes Company had sent gifts that Su Dong had carefully prepared for his teammates.

With the annual salary of Manchester City players, even if it is a young player in the first team, it belongs to the high-paying class in society, and it is not a rare gift at all. The key lies in who gave this gift and why.

What Su Dong presented this time was a three-piece set newly launched by Apple. The mobile phone, tablet and laptop are all equipped with the highest configuration, and the price is not cheap. It is not a big deal for some famous stars, but for special players. A young player like Lippier is rare.

One of the reasons why everyone valued it was that the gift was from Su Dong.

Captain, the festival hasn't arrived yet, why did you suddenly give us gifts again? David Lewis, who was also a carefree person, asked curiously after receiving the gift, smiling from ear to ear.

Su Dong smiled and didn't hide it, I'm getting married!

Marriage? David Lewis was taken aback, with whom?

Nonsense. Marcelo next to him slapped him on the back of the head. Who are you our captain? Who else can you marry other than marry that person?

David Lewis suddenly realized that he had also seen Wang Chuqing at the party, and he was astonished.

Everyone was also amused for a while, thinking that these two Brazilian living treasures are really interesting.

When's the time? Gareth Barry asked more maturely.

The time has not yet been determined.

The initial estimate is after the end of the season next year.

Everyone immediately understood.

In fact, for professional players, the rest period in the middle of the two seasons has always been the peak period of marriage. Almost all players get married during this period. Some international players who participated in the national team met the World Cup and the European Cup. In such a competition, the pre-season training time must be sacrificed, and the leave to get married, otherwise there will be no time.

Unlike other players, Su Dong has never been tasked with the national team, and naturally he does not need to worry about it. As long as the league is suspended, he has a lot of time to prepare for the wedding.

By announcing now, he is actually telling everyone that at that time, apart from the people he invited, he will not give further notice. As for who he will invite, there is no need to say more about the answer.

Such as Pepe, David Silva, Marcelo and Tony Cross, they are all Su Dong's besties.

Only those with the strongest relationship are likely to receive invitations. As for the others, the notification is in place today.

Everyone knew this, so they went over to congratulate Su Dong and congratulated him on his marriage in advance.

Then we will all work harder this season to get a good grade, and congratulations to Su's wedding! Pepe suggested.

The two vice-captains, Kompany and Zabaleta, also voiced their support for Pepe's suggestion.

Having just received this generous gift from Su Dong, the players naturally responded.

What's more, Manchester City have been really good this season. So far in the Premier League maintained a record of seven rounds of victories.

However, the next round of the game, that is, the opponent in this game tomorrow night, is not bad.

So far, the Premier League has played seven rounds, and four teams have not lost a game, namely Manchester City at the top, Manchester United in the second place, and Newcastle and Aston Villa.

Newcastle is undefeated with four wins and three draws and is currently fourth in the Premier League, and it seems that the Magpies are about to regroup.

As for whether there is a sudden surge this season, or whether it can really find the style of the former Premier League giants, it depends on Newcastle's next performance.

As for Aston Villa, it's actually quite embarrassing, because in the first seven rounds, they only won two games, and the remaining five games were all draws, ranking seventh in the Premier League standings.

It is not difficult to see from this point that Aston Villa's strength may not be very good, but it is very difficult.

If you want to say the most eye-breaking team in the first seven rounds, it is definitely Arsenal.

After seven rounds of the game, the Gunners have two wins, one draw and four losses. They are currently ranked 15th, only two points away from the relegation zone.

If it wasn't for Wenger's respected status in the Gunners, it would usually be time to start a coaching change at this time.

No one really thinks that Arsenal will sink, but the Gunners played a mess in the first seven rounds. This is also a fact. The key depends on whether Wenger can lead the team to turn the situation around in the next few games.

As for Manchester City, the pressure on the next schedule is also particularly high.

After playing Aston Villa, Villarreal ushered in the third round of the Champions League group stage, and the weekend is the Manchester derby.

Manchester City smashed Manchester United at Old Trafford last season, and now Ferguson has threatened to take revenge at home.

This battle is the most important battle for Manchester City so far this season.

…………

…………

On the afternoon of October 15th, in the eighth round of the Premier League, Manchester City faced Aston Villa at home.

Due to the heavy workload of the next game, Guardiola still rotated in today's game.

All the players who have traveled long distances to return to the country to participate in the war and have played full games in the national team are all rested in this round of games.

This has resulted in Manchester City having to put out a seriously crippled squad.

The goalkeeper is Courtois, the back line is Leyton Baines, Xavi Martinez, Pepe and Trippier, the midfielder is Thiago, and the forward is Milner and Gareth. Barry, Hazard, Sudong and Douglas Costa up front.

All the South American internationals have been excluded from the squad, and Guardiola clearly prefers them to keep their strength in the Champions League.

Aston Villa head coach Mike Leish put out a four-two-three-one double-back tactic on the road, guarding against the dead, and did not intend to leave the slightest gap for Manchester City to pass the ball.

After the start of the game, the situation was basically as expected by the outside world. Although Manchester City formed a midfield with Milner and Gareth Barry, they still had a clear advantage in passing and controlling the ball.

The biggest difference is that City's midfield doesn't run smoothly, especially when it comes to creating chances.

But even so, Manchester City still seized a chance in the fifteenth minute.

Douglas Costa dribbled the ball on the right and forcibly broke through and passed it to Milner, who broke into the right side of the penalty area and crossed to the penalty spot. Su Dong, who followed up in the middle, rushed to the spot and kicked the ball without stopping. Furious shot.

The ball was almost against the grass and flew quickly into the lower right corner of Aston Villa's goal, 1-0!

After taking the goal lead, Manchester City continued to launch wave after wave of attacks against Aston Villa.

In the 28th minute, the left defender Hutton encountered Manchester City's pressing pressure when he took the ball. After the ball was stolen by Hazard, the Belgian launched a counterattack on the spot and rushed the ball all the way to Aston Villa's goal. On the left side of the penalty area, he calmly pushed the far corner and succeeded, giving Manchester City another victory, 2-0!

After scoring two goals in a row, Manchester City's morale was boosted.

Ended the first half with a two-goal lead. The second half had just begun. In just two minutes, Trippier dribbled the ball on the right. Just after the halfway line, he saw a chance and sent a diagonal with his right foot. A long pass that sent the ball directly above Aston Villa's defence.

Su Dong plugged in at a high speed, jumped first in front of former Manchester City captain Dunn, headed the ball in front of him, and quickly caught up after landing, grabbing the ball before another central defender Clark. Great restricted area.

Before the goalkeeper could strike in place, Su Dong took the lead and stabbed the ball into the goal behind him, 3-0!

A brace!!!!

In the direct contest between the old and new captains of Manchester City, Dunn had no temper at all with Su Dong, and watched as he grabbed the spot and flew away.

We have to sigh that Su Dong is indeed more outstanding in terms of physical fitness, jumping ability, speed and explosiveness, which is reflected in this goal.

Three to zero, Manchester City has basically won the victory ahead of schedule!

...

Just five minutes later, Manchester City created another threat.

This time, it was Milner who sent a straight pass from the outside of the penalty area and accurately gave it to the feet of Su Dong in the penalty area.

After Su Dong fended off Dunn with his body, he shot straight.

The Aston Villa goalkeeper responded quickly and made a hard save to block Su Dong's shot.

But just when everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Gareth Barry suddenly appeared in the penalty area, faced the flying football with his left foot, and volleyed the ball directly into Astonville. Pull the goal.

Gareth Barry did not celebrate after the goal.

Originally from Aston Villa, he was captain of the team at the time and was loved by Aston Villa fans.

Today, he faces Aston Villa as a Manchester City player, and his performance is also very excited, but after scoring, he does not plan to celebrate, but walks back silently.

Even so, Gareth Barry's move also received warm applause from the Manchester City fans.

...

With the overall situation determined, Su Dong was replaced by Dzeko.

Interestingly, just five minutes after he came off the field, Dzeko's shot created a corner kick. Pepe received a pass from his teammate and hit the header in the penalty area, giving Manchester City another victory, 5-0!

It was also the last goal of the game.

Manchester City finally beat Aston Villa 5-0 at home and scored another three points.

…………

…………

Three days later, in the third round of the Champions League group stage, Manchester City faced Villarreal at home.

Just four minutes into the game, David Luiz dribbled the ball in the backcourt and was interrupted. Italian striker Rossi volleyed at the top of the penalty area. succeed.

Zero to one!

Manchester City fell behind for the first time this season.
