Glory Greenery

Chapter 414 Start of the New Season

After Yang Mo scored a goal, the fans who were more excited than Huang Jianxiang were the limited-production fans. More than 9 people stood in the stands and shouted frantically.

Faced with such a long-distance raid that was exciting enough to make people lose their minds, few fans could calm down. Even the well-organized Yang Mo Chinese Fans Association just now couldn't control their excitement this time.

Vent, vent the excitement in their hearts, the fans don't know what they are shouting, but they are surrounded by the surrounding atmosphere and exert all their strength together.

But everyone didn't know that when looking back at the game, the madness that Yang Mo made everyone feel this time seemed to be some kind of ironic dying elegy.

Compared with the opponents in the previous warm-up matches, Chelsea is a veritable strong team, a strong team that will never lose to Manchester City.

Those teams may have played timidly after falling behind Manchester City, but Chelsea will not.

Seeing the joy of Manchester City, Chelsea head coach Di Matteo was calm, but asked Chelsea players not to be affected by Manchester City and continue to maintain the tactics arranged before the game. After all, the game has just begun.

And soon, Chelsea's stable style paid off.

After taking the lead, the imposing Manchester City launched a siege to Chelsea, as if they had already won the game. The winning streak in the previous warm-up match made them feel that they could beat Chelsea, just like defeating their previous opponents.

But at this moment, an accident happened, and Chelsea made a signature counterattack.

From the midfielder to the frontcourt, Torres made two passes. Torres received the ball to form a single goal, and pushed the far corner to complete the goal and equalize the score.

In the No.17 minute of the first half, 13 minutes after Manchester City led Chelsea, Chelsea's goal was like a basin of cold water, pouring on Manchester City.

The most important thing is that there is not only one basin of cold water in this game, but the beginning.

In the No.30 second minute of the first half, Yang Mo made a breakthrough from the left and Chelsea double-teamed the siege.

What people didn't expect was that Yaya Toure, who shot forward, not only failed to score, but was counterattacked by Ivanovic with a clearance.

It was still Torres, the former Atletico Madrid prince, who once again scored a single-handed goal after receiving the ball and scored twice to help Chelsea overtake the score.

After leading the score, Chelsea immediately dragged the game into their favorite defensive rhythm.

However, Manchester City, from leading to lagging behind, had to slow down under Chelsea's arrangement and began to attack Chelsea's iron wall.

However, in the first half, although Manchester City's situation was passive, it did not fall into despair.

Because they are still Yang Mo, the most powerful impact player in the world. Even if Chelsea shrinks their formation, they are still a little ashamed in the face of Yang Mo.

Before the end of the first half, still relying on Yang Mo's pass after a breakthrough from the left, Silva successfully scored with a tackle and helped Manchester City equalize the score.

Going into the break, the score was 2-2, and things didn't look so bad.

Even Huang Jianxiang said, "This is the professor who is evenly matched by a strong team, but I am still optimistic about Manchester City."

Huang Daxian, poured the last mouthful of poisonous milk into Manchester City.

After the start of the second half, the performance of another Chelsea player caused Manchester City to suddenly collapse.

The ball was too strong to eat Barry, and the continuous change of direction swayed Kompany, and a kick crossed in the penalty area, allowing the forward Mata to directly face the empty goal and easily push the ball into the Manchester City goal.

Hazard, a young man from Belgium who is the same age as Yang Mo, moved all fans with his 53-minute performance in the second half.

And his performance did not end here. In the No. 70 minute of the second half, Hazard continued to break through and cut through Manchester City's defense.

Finally, in front of the goal, Hazard passed the ball again to help Torres complete a hat-trick.

At this point, the score was 2-4.

Although Hazard didn't score, his two shots completely helped the team secure the victory.

Although Torres' hat-trick was dazzling, the performance of Hazard, a young new aid, can also be said to have become famous once he stepped on the double champion Manchester City.

When the game lasted to 82 minutes, although Yang Mo helped Manchester City create a penalty again with his own ability and took the penalty himself, he failed to change his fate in the end.

After taking the lead, Chelsea immediately made a large-scale personnel adjustment to defend the advantage.

Mancini also saw his tricks and made adjustments, but unfortunately he was not able to tie the score.

3-4, Manchester City was reversed by Chelsea after scoring the first goal and lost the Community Shield.

After winning consecutive warm-up matches, the double champion suddenly encountered Waterloo before the start of the new season.

"Yang Mo tried his best, but Chelsea are better."

Huang Jianxiang's words became the reason for many domestic media to explain for Yang Mo after the game.

Of course, Yang Mo, who had two shots and one pass in the audience, did agree with such an evaluation.

However, in Europe, relatively professional comments did not criticize Yang Mo, and of course did not explain Yang Mo, but focused on other issues of Manchester City.

Why did Ibrahimovic, who played bravely in the warm-up match, suddenly misfire and disappear when facing Chelsea's defense?

Can you only play against weak teams, not the Premier League?The statement that Ibrahimovic is not suitable for the Premier League has been rampant for a while.

In addition to Ibrahimovic, Thiago Silva, who was arranged by Mancini to start, has also exposed the shortcomings of not being in place with Manchester City players.

And Barry, who is over [-] years old, looked weak in the face of Hazard's breakthrough, making everyone feel that Mancini should give Rodwell more time to exercise.

And because of this defeat, Mancini, who had previously relied on the double crown to stabilize his position, once again had a position crisis.

On the contrary, Di Matteo, who led Chelsea to only win one FA Cup last year and lost both in the Champions League, has stabilized his position because of the Community Shield champion.

Between gains and losses, it is also quite interesting.

However, for Manchester City, the worst thing is not the loss of the Community Shield Cup.

After all, although the Community Shield has the title of "England Super Cup", there are as many as five substitutions, which makes everyone feel that this game is not an official game.

Therefore, Manchester City can make the loss of the Community Shield less important.

But it was the "unimportance" of the Community Shield that made Manchester City suffer from being late in another matter.

Before the Community Shield Cup, the FA rejected Manchester City's implementation of one of Yang Mo's four-game suspensions last season in the Community Shield Cup, so the appearance of Yang Mo in the Community Shield Cup is not a good thing for Manchester City on the other hand. good thing.

Because in this case, Yang Mo will have to miss the first four rounds of the league after the start of the league.

After the Community Shield ended, Yang Mo followed his teammates back to the Manchester Derby. In the day after day of training, the 2012-2013 Premier League came.

This season, due to the expansion of the Etihad Airways Stadium, Manchester City spent huge sums of money to rent seats at the Old Trafford Stadium.

As I said before, the Glazer family doesn't care about rivals in the same city when it comes to money.

So on August 8, Manchester City ushered in their first opponent of the new season, Annampton, at Old Trafford.

The players played on the field, but Yang Mo, the captain, sat in the stands with Mansour to watch the game.

Yang Mo was not allowed to play in this game, but outside experts and media agreed that Manchester City must win.

After all, Manchester City spent more than [-] million euros in the summer. Ibrahimovic, Aguero, Silva, Thiago Silva and other players in the starting lineup are all big-name players.

On the other hand, Annampton is just a newly promoted player who was promoted as the second in the British Championship last season.

The players in the team have been unknown many times, and it is not easy to beat Manchester City.

In the end, when the game ended, as expected, Manchester City won the first game.

However, the score of 3-2 proved that it was not easy for Manchester City to win this game.

It can even be said that it almost lost.

In this game, Yang Mo was suspended and absent. Mancini arranged a 442 formation for Manchester City, with Aguero and Ibrahimovic as striker partners.

However, compared to Yang Mo who can rely on the virtual training ground to increase the tacit understanding with his new teammates, the cooperation between Aguero and Ibrahimovic is not so tacit.

Manchester City's first goal was a pass from Nasri from the left, and Aguero used his running position to get rid of the defender's defense and stab the goal.

And throughout the first half, apart from Nasri assisting Aguero's goal, Manchester City did not score another goal.

Whether it is Nasri or Aguero, whether it is Silva or Yaya Toure, their cooperation with Ibrahimovic can only be described as bad.

In the second half of the game, the performance of Manchester City's striker did not change, but Annampton seized the opportunity.

Lambert and David, who came off the bench for Annampton, scored two goals in 59 minutes and 65 minutes, directly reversing the score.

At this time, Yang Mo looked at the game on the field, as if he saw the shadow of the Community Shield a few days ago.

He scored the first goal and was overtaken, which made him start to worry about the team.

But Mansur, the big boss who was sitting next to Yang Mo, suddenly said, "Yang, I should have let the Italians leave before, shouldn't I?"

"Mr. Mansour, the game is not over yet."

Yang Mo was very troubled by Mansour's words. Although Mancini is not good enough, it is enough for Manchester City, and he doesn't like an overly strong head coach.

At this time, the league has already started. Compared with Mancini's ability, the risk of changing coaches seems to be greater.

Besides, it's already this time, where can Manchester City find a better head coach in a short time.

Therefore, he could only persuade Mansur a little.

But God also counted on Yang Mo's face. After falling behind in the second half, Mancini used Milner to replace Ibrahimovic who was not performing well, and started to hit Aguero with a single arrow.

In the 78th minute, Aguero volleyed in front of the penalty area and scored twice.

In the 86th minute, Milner dribbled the ball and was fouled by Annampton. The referee awarded Manchester City a free kick.

Kolarov took the free kick, Yaya Toure diverted the header and Silva poked it into the net.

3-2, Manchester City regained the lead at the last moment of the game, narrowly beating Annampton by one goal.

However, although the match was over, but because of the twists and turns, Yang Mo could tell that Mansour's complexion after watching the match was not good.

As the prince of Abu Dhabi, Mansour actually doesn't come to the stadium to watch the game many times. This game is mainly because it is the first game of the new season.

But it happened that this game, Manchester City's difficult victory, made the unlucky Mancini leave a bad impression on the boss.

After all, after spending money on the bus, no one wants their team to be so difficult to play as a newly promoted team.

The most important thing is that Mancini likes to buy players in Serie A, but the most anticipated Ibrahimovic has not achieved the expected results.

"Yang, I really hope you come back right now."

After the game, at the table where Yang Mo took Ibrahimovic, Aguero and others to the party, Ibrahimovic finally understood the importance of Yang Mo because of the downturn in the game.

That tacit understanding can only be cherished when it is lost.

"You still think about how to deal with those guys on Fleet Street." Aguero complained.

Indeed, Ibrahimovic's performance in this game will definitely not escape the blows from those guys who watch the excitement and don't think it's a big deal.

Sure enough, on the second day, after suffering from stealth against Chelsea and poor performance against Annampton, the topic of whether Ibrahimovic can adapt to the Premier League was once again pulled out by the media.

By the way, Mancini, the head coach, was criticized a lot. The entire Manchester City team, and Yang Mo, who didn't play, escaped.

Even if they win the game, they will be criticized, and Manchester City will feel aggrieved enough.

But who made them wear golden armbands, who made them double crowns? It is an eternal truth that if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.

After the first round of matches, a total of eight teams in the Premier League won.

But what everyone didn't expect was that among these winning teams, the Premier League giants in the traditional sense of people's impressions only defeated Newcastle United's Chelsea 2-0.

Of course, if you count Manchester City, which has suddenly risen and is still regarded as an upstart by everyone, there are two teams.

Arsenal were tied 0-0 by Sunderland at home, and Manchester United lost to Everton by one goal away.

However, the veteran giants Liverpool lost to their opponents by two goals in the first round away game against West Bromwich Albion.

Last season, Liverpool's embarrassing eighth place in the league has already made it difficult for fans to accept.

But with such a poor performance at the beginning of the new season, countless people sighed for this former overlord of the Premier League and the creator of the miracle in Istanbul.

Rodgers, who just took over the Liverpool coach from Dalglish in the summer, has also suffered overwhelming criticism from the outside world.

Before the new season, Rodgers shouted out the rhetoric of bringing Liverpool back to the European arena.

But the ideal is left, the reality is right, just looking at the performance of this game, Liverpool wants to return to the European arena this season, obviously there are still big problems.

Manchester City is also very concerned about the state of Liverpool, because they will go to Anfield in the next game, but they will face Liverpool, which seems to have a big problem.

And in order to reserve time for the UEFA Super Cup on August 8, they had to play a double match in the next week.

On August 8, they will play against Liverpool at Anfield, and on August 23, they will rush back to play against Bolton at home.

Whether Liverpool is really in a slump, we will not know until we play this game.
