Glory Greenery

Chapter 415 The Powerful Defender

On August 8, when the Manchester City team rushed to the Liverpool game, Yang Mo did not go with the team.

During the suspension, in addition to maintaining his training tasks, the team also took the opportunity to arrange some activities for him.

When the team was playing in Liverpool, he had to rush to London to visit children in an orphanage.

The promoter of this action is of course the Manchester City club, and the sponsor Nike also participated. Manchester City owns half of Yang Mo's portrait rights, and Yang Mo is the current global spokesperson for Nike. Of course, it is only appropriate for him to come forward.

By doing this kind of thing, Manchester City will improve the image of the club, and Yang Mo will gain a good reputation, so why not do it.

In the orphanage, Yang Mo had a small field football match with enthusiastic young fans, played games with everyone, and finally donated money to the orphanage on behalf of Manchester City and himself under the witness of many media.

During the whole process, several media were filming, so he had to be extra careful with every move, after all, maybe that guy with malicious intentions would find fault with his eggs.

But fortunately, when he was in China, he didn't do this less, and he was already quite familiar with it.

When you become a celebrity, if you don't engage in charity, you will be sorry for the public's expectations of you.

Although Yang Mo always feels that donating money directly to charities, there are not many people who can actually implement it.

He is not afraid of spending money, but he is afraid that the money will not be spent on the people who really should use it, and he will end up spending money to do bad things.

When cooperating with a domestic charitable organization to do charity, the other party arranged luxury hotels along the way, and the whole journey was picked up by RV. Where did these expenses come from?it goes without saying.

It's not that Yang Mo doesn't want to repay the society, otherwise he wouldn't have donated so much money these years.

The encounter with his younger sister when he was a child gave him an idea from a very early age. If he wanted to do it, he would make a collection of his own, specifically to help those orphans who lost their parents, or to help build schools in poor places.

As far as she knows, some domestic celebrities are also working on these things, and they can cooperate if they have the opportunity.

Temporarily putting aside his thoughts about charity, Yang Mo was exhausted after a day of activities and had just returned to Manchester when he heard bad news.

Manchester City lost at Anfield.

3-2, exactly the same score as the previous game, but this time the home team is Liverpool.

After returning to Manchester, Yang Mo didn't need to take the initiative to find news about the game, because it was easy to find the description of the game on the Internet.

Liverpool vs. Manchester City, old giants vs upstarts, is there anything more eye-catching than this?
From these reports, Yang Mo figured out why Manchester City lost.

Although Ibrahimovic played poorly in the last game, Mancini still let Ibrahimovic start this round against Liverpool.

But unfortunately, Ibrahimovic seems to really not call everyone. He still played mediocre in the first half of the game, and he disappeared from the beginning.

As a result, Mancini did not wait for the end of the first half to replace Ibrahimovic with Milner at 10 minutes.

When Ibrahimovic left the field, he was obviously very dissatisfied. Not only did he not shake hands with Milner, he sat on the bench with a sullen face and said nothing.

But Milner's playing did not bring good luck to Manchester City. At the last moment of the first half, Liverpool took the lead in breaking the deadlock.

Taking advantage of a corner kick, Gerrard took a corner on the right, Skrtel beat Kompany with a header, and Joe Hart was too close to react.

The 1-0 score finally led to the intermission.

After the start of the second half, Manchester City desperately attacked to equalize the score, Liverpool also did not give up on the attack, and the game soon turned into a confrontational battle.

In 62 minutes, Aguero made a pass from the bottom, and the Liverpool goalkeeper missed the ball. Kelly made a mistake when he made a clearance and kicked the ball into the hands of the unmarked Yaya Toure.

Three meters in front of the goal, Yaya Toure scored a goal with a poke in front of the empty goal, helping Manchester City equalize the score at 1-1.

But just 4 minutes after Manchester City evened the score, Liverpool directly attacked the goal with a free kick from Suarez, making the score 2-1 again.

And when the time reached 75 minutes, it was Suarez again.

Carroll crossed in front of the goal, Suarez pushed the ball in and scored twice, also improving the score to 3-1.

Although in the 87th minute of the game, Manchester City relied on Milner's long-range shot to get back a goal, but in the end they lost the game 3-2.

After reading the report about the game, Yang Mo continued to read the comments about the game, and he found that it was Ibrahimovic who received the most doubts.

The excellent performance of the warm-up match made the media praise Ibrahimovic highly.

And when he met Chelsea from the Community Shield, Ibrahimovic has not scored a goal in three games against Premier League teams.

It is naturally impossible for such a performance not to be questioned by the media and fans.

In addition to Ibrahimovic, Yang Mo saw a very interesting point of view in the domestic fan comments.

That is, domestic netizens gave their head coach Mancini the name of saving lives and healing the wounded.

During the Community Shield, Chelsea coach Di Matteo's position was shaky due to his poor record last season.

At this critical moment, Mancini led Manchester City, which owns Yang Mo, Ibrahimovic, Thiago Silva, and Aguero, to hand over the Community Shield trophy to Di Matteo.

With the victory over Manchester City and the Community Shield championship, Di Matteo immediately stabilized his coaching position, and there were even rumors that he had signed a two-year coaching contract with Chelsea and officially became a regular.

In the past two weeks of the Community Shield Cup, Mancini used his performance in losing to Liverpool to save Liverpool coach Rodgers, who was questioned by the outside world about his coaching ability because of an upset loss to West Bromwich Albion in the first round.

After defeating the powerful Manchester City, the doubts that had shrouded Rogers immediately dissipated a lot.

And Mancini also successfully used the spirit of sacrificing himself and losing the game to become the life-saving Mancini among the fans.

Of course, these remarks also appeared in Europe, but everyone changed the saying and called Mancini the coach's savior.

Yang Mo didn't know how DiMatteo and Rogers felt when they were rescued, but he knew that Mancini would definitely have a hard time.

After all, Yang Mo has witnessed and heard Mansur's distrust of Mancini all the time.

Sure enough, when Yang Mo was training with the team on August 8, Mancini's league was quite ugly.

In addition to Mancini's accident, another person also seemed quite irritable, and that was Ibrahimovic, who was hit by the media.

During a training match with the substitute team, Ibrahimovic was accidentally stepped on by a player of the substitute team. The Swede quit immediately and slapped the player on the head.

This slap immediately caused the two to confront each other, and the surrounding teammates rushed forward to persuade them to fight.

Under Kompany's persuasion, the player who was beaten by Ibrahimovic finally suppressed his anger, but Ibrahimovic, who made the first move, didn't give up and yelled at the player.

Seeing this, Yang Mo, the captain, immediately lost his politeness, stepped forward and grabbed Ibrahimovic's shirt and took it off to the side.

But Ibrahimovic, who is rebellious and unruly, is of course unwilling to drag Yang Mo.

Relying on his physical strength, Ibrahimovic, who only bullies others on weekdays and has not been bullied by others, instinctively breaks free with his backhand.

But when Ibrahimovic moved his arm, he unexpectedly found that he couldn't break free from Yang Mo's hand holding him.

The two hands holding his arm were like an iron hoop made of alloy, and his breaking free was completely meaningless.

Dragging Ibrahimovic all the way to the sidelines, Yang Mo looked at Ibrahimovic with a cold face, "If you don't agree with the comments from the outside world, then go to the court to prove yourself, and get angry at your teammates, you will only tell everyone that you are a jerk! "

Ibrahimovic's outbreak, the player who stepped on him was just the fuse. The main reason is of course his performance on the field and the remarks made by the media.

Yang Mo guessed what he was thinking, but even so, the proud Ibrahimovic would not think it was his fault.

In Ibrahimovic's heart, Yang Mo is just a character who wants to surpass and replace. Yang Mo's words not only did not make Ibrahimovic realize the problem, but intensified the anger in Ibrahimovic's heart even more.

"Who do you think you are? What right do you have to say that about me!"

As Ibrahimovic said, he pushed his hands towards Yang Mo.

Ibrahimovic is 196 cm tall, while Yang Mo is 186 cm tall. Yang Mo is ten centimeters shorter than Ibrahimovic.

Looking at the appearance alone, Ibrahimovic, who is tall and tall, is a circle bigger than Yang Mo, and Yang Mo is at a disadvantage no matter how he pushes it down.

But what people didn't expect was that when Ibrahimovic pushed it down, Yang Mo's chest stood still, but Ibrahimovic took several steps back.

Being pushed by Ibrahimovic, Yang Mo, who is in his early twenties, also became angry, "I heard that you have practiced Taekwondo, so let me see it today."

Rubbing his wrist, Yang Mo was ready to do it.

Although Yang Mo's stature is not considered tall, the imposing manner on his body really shocked Ibrahimovic.

At the end of last season, Yang Mo knocked Joey Button down with a single punch, which fans all over the world knew.

Afterwards, Joey Barton also cried to the media, saying that Yang Mo had beaten him into a slight concussion, which added to Yang Mo's reputation.

But in the end, Yang Mo still failed to fight Ibrahimovic, because Mancini, who saw the situation was not good, had already slapped the players up and separated the two.

Manchester City boss Mansour, who heard the incident, was furious and asked Mubarak to punish Ibrahimovic severely.

After discussion, the Manchester City club imposed a two-match suspension on Ibrahimovic and a fine of [-] pounds.

Mansur also said that if Ibrahimovic refuses to accept, he does not mind letting Ibrahimovic stay in the echelon for three years!

The implication is that if Ibrahimovic is not convinced, the Abu Dhabi consortium would rather give Ibrahimovic tens of millions of euros for free, and have to refrigerate Ibrahimovic.

Mansour personally intervened, and Ibrahimovic hadn't said anything, but his agent Mino Raiola gave him a wink.

Under Raiola's dissuasion, Ibrahimovic finally apologized to the substitute player who was beaten and accepted the club's punishment.

As for Yang Mo who almost made a move, Manchester City didn't say anything from the beginning to the end, this is the treatment of a son.

But after the training, everyone saw that Yang Moyue had entered a fight club in Manchester, and Rooney was a regular visitor here.

No one knew what happened to the two of them inside, but when the two of them came out, it seemed as if nothing had happened before, and they walked shoulder to shoulder and went to the nightclub again.

But according to gossip, Rooney said that he was also in this fight club that day, and happened to see Yang Mo swinging up and down in the ring with a humanoid target.

At that time, Rooney wanted to go up and teach Yang Mo, saying that the target is not used in this way, but the staff said that the area was reserved and could not enter.

Later, some people said that Rooney was too drunk that day and made a mistake.

But what happened to Yang Mo and Ibrahimovic, only Yang Mo and Ibrahimovic know.

Although the suspension of Ibrahimovic from the team caused an uproar from the outside world, the club, the involved Ibrahimovic, and other players did not accept interviews about this matter. Gradually, no one cared about the news as the heat subsided.

On August 8, Manchester City ushered in the third round of the league on loan at Old Trafford. This is the second game of Manchester City's weekly double match and the first game of Ibrahimovic's suspension.

The opponent of the game is Bolton, who had a thrilling relegation in the last round of last season.

The reason why Bolton can avoid relegation should be most grateful to Manchester City, which defeated Queens Park Rangers in the last round of last season.

So before the game started, Manchester City fans ridiculed that this game is time for Bolton to repay his favor.

Although it was just a joke among the fans, when the game was over, Manchester City fans discovered that Bolton actually gave Manchester City a victory.

Due to Ibrahimovic's suspension in the game, Aguero was placed in the center forward position by Mancini, with Nasri and Milner on the left and right.

This offensive striker, which seems to be made temporarily, did not show much power in the game, but what is unexpected is that Manchester City's defenders showed their power.

In the first half, left-back Kolarov relied on a free kick to complete the goal and helped Manchester City open the scoring.

The score of 1-0 was brought into the second half like this.

In the 5 minutes of the second half, Manchester City got a corner kick. Kolarov passed the ball into the penalty area. The central defender Thiago Silva shook his head and scored the first goal after joining Manchester City, helping Manchester City to expand the score to 2- 0.

After leading by two goals, the state of Manchester City's players became more and more fiery, completely overwhelming Bolton in the half-court siege.

Mancini also used his advantage to replace two new players, Rodwell and Nastasia, allowing them to make their debut in the Premier League.

And it was this time, let it help Manchester City expand the score again.

In the 87th minute of the second half, when the game was about to end, the Serbian teenager received a pass from Silva and shot a violent long shot from 35 meters away. He scored directly and helped Manchester City freeze the score at 3-0.

The three goals in this game were all scored by three defenders, which is really surprising.

The performance of the 19-year-old Nastasic scoring a goal in his debut immediately won the recognition of Manchester City fans and applause from the audience.

Speaking of fans, with last season's double crown, Manchester City's football market is quite hot this season, and season ticket sales have increased by more than 70.00%.

The capacity of fans at Old Trafford is 6000. Although it was not full in the first game of the new season, the attendance rate reached 80.00%, and the number of people exceeded [-].

Even if this figure is not as good as Manchester United's terrifying attendance rate of 90.00%, it can increase from more than 4 people at the Etihad Airways Stadium to 6 people in a short period of time, which is enough to prove the growth rate of Manchester City fans.

This game, perhaps due to the loss of the last game, the attendance rate has dropped, only more than 5 people.

But in the end, seeing Manchester City beat their opponents by 3 goals, the more than 5 people felt that it was not in vain to watch the game, even though they most wanted to see Yang Mo still suspended and unable to play.

But it doesn't matter, at the UEFA Super Cup held in Monaco on August 8, fans who were looking forward to the stars and the moon finally saw Yang Mo stepping onto the field after 31 days.
