Starting from entering Kawazu

Chapter 155
In the second half, Porto refused to admit defeat and continued to attack Manchester City.

Deco played very well. He is still playing as an attacking midfielder. In the contest with Maniche, his former teammate, he has the absolute upper hand.

After all, he was too familiar with Maniche.

No way, Mourinho had to replace Mendes, and adopted double-team tactics to limit Deco.

Now, Deco's performance was finally discounted.

Mendes is also very familiar with Deco. He teamed up with Maniche, and Deco was naturally a bit difficult to handle. He began to avoid the two and go to the side.

In this way, his point becomes weaker and weaker.

In the end, Manchester City defeated Porto 3:1 at home and won two consecutive victories in the group.

Enter December.

This month's schedule is still relatively tight, and the world preliminaries will make the major giants more painful.

The only solution, I am afraid, is rotation.

On October 10, when Manchester City challenged Southampton away, Mourinho formed a rotation lineup, and Lampard played as a single midfielder.

However, in the 19th minute of the game, Lampard was suddenly kicked by the opponent's ankle and fell to the ground. Mourinho had no choice but to replace Maniche.

Maniche also has no way to rest.

However, after he came up, he seized an opportunity to shoot from a long distance and broke the deadlock on the field.

This goal was also the only goal of the game. Manchester City beat their opponents in the away game and started their eight-game winning streak.

Maniche's luck has come to an end when it comes to the national team.

In Portugal's away game against Liechtenstein on October 10, Maniche was unable to get up after being brought down by the opponent's back in 9 minutes. His ankle was shattered and will miss the rest of the season.

The Portuguese team also had a fierce conflict with Liechtenstein, and two players from each side were sent off.

In the end, Portugal hadn't won yet, and they were tied 2:2 by Liechtenstein, which was a huge loss to Maniche.

Maniche's injury also made Manchester City's midfield configuration sure to change.

Now that Maniche and Lampard are both injured, Mendes and Carvalho can only play the midfielder position.

For this reason, Mourinho also criticized the Liechtenstein players in an interview, thinking that they can only rely on rude fouls to prevent the Portuguese team from attacking. Such fouls are unforgivable and should be sentenced.

Maniche has always been Mourinho's favorite player, his mood is still worth understanding.

However, UEFA has warned Mourinho's speech, hoping that he can restrain himself and not touch UEFA's bottom line.

The big mouth has always been the target of UEFA's attack. Not only Mourinho, but Deportivo coach Irueta also went crazy.

Crouch was also injured in this round of the world preliminaries. In the game against Wales, Crouch was knocked down by Thomas scissor feet in 20 minutes. He also suffered a comminuted ankle fracture. This season, he will also be reimbursed!
There is no doubt that Crouch is the thigh he bought at a huge price, but now it is reimbursed. Can Irueta not go crazy?
"The UEFA arrangement is a piece of shit, and the opponent (Thomas) only got a yellow card, this is murder!"

For this reason, Irueta was banned by UEFA for 3 European matches, and Depor also received a heavy fine of 30 euros!

However, Welsh defender Thomas was also punished by UEFA. He was suspended for 8 games. Obviously, this time after the fall, he basically has no chance to participate in the World Cup and World Cup.

The overall performance of the Manchester City players in the world preliminaries this time is still good. Hubner's national team debut was good. After coming off the bench, he scored a goal with a volley and helped the Italian team draw with Slovenia 1:1. Team.

In the second game, he scored a hat-trick with overhead kicks, helping the Italian team beat Belarus 4:1.

Facts have proved that Hubner's goal-breaking ability is really good. Although he can't see any breakthroughs for a long time, once he sees him, it is the most dangerous time.

The top 40 matches in the Asian region are basically over, and the Chinese team has reached the final 8 with a complete victory this time.

In terms of strength, the Chinese team is still higher than the opponents in the same group, especially in the match with the direct competitor Kuwait, the Chinese team did not give the opponent any chance.

In the two contests, they outscored each other by 7 goals. Obviously, the current strength of the Chinese team is much stronger than that of another time and space.

In the quarter-finals, the Chinese team is in the same group as South Korea, Saudi Arabia, and Uzbekistan, and the number of places for Asia in the German World Cup is 4.5, and the chances of the Chinese team qualifying are also very high.

After all, apart from the Korean team, the Chinese team is not afraid of Saudi Arabia and Uzbekistan. Even the Korean team, with the current strength of the Chinese team, is not afraid of them.

After two rounds of world preliminaries, the national leagues will continue.

Manchester City ushered in Chelsea at home, and the tinkerer does have two brushes. Chelsea currently ranks fourth with 8 wins and 5 stables in 3 games, and they are still unbeaten.

Mourinho has no choice. After returning from the national team, the players are not in a stable state. Even the goalkeeper Petr Cech has repeatedly dropped the ball during training. Therefore, in this game, the teenager Keylor Navas Debut, as the starting goalkeeper.

Yilihamujiang also started again, this time being pushed to the front midfielder by Mourinho.

Up front, Luke is paired with Kevin Phillips.

After the start of the game, the Chelsea team started with a fierce attack. This is La Nieli's conventional tactics. If they can break the situation by attacking randomly at the beginning, they will use strict defense later to achieve the tactical goal.

However, Manchester City's defense is very serious. The combination of Ledlikin and Ferreira is quite stable. Goalkeeper Keylor Navas has also attacked many times and performed very well.

In 11 minutes, Kevin Phillips swept across the goal after breaking through from the wing, Luke tapped lightly, and the ball flew into the goal, 1:0!

Manchester City took the lead.

Luke also rushed to the sidelines and yelled excitedly. He was also questioned as an extra, and he had no chance to prove himself before.

This goal is a proof that Luke also has a unique strength.

This is also a player who came out of La Masia's youth academy, but he didn't play in Barcelona. He gradually emerged after going to Mallorca and helped Mallorca get the third place in La Liga.

Later, the cost of moving to Deportivo was not low, reaching 1500 million euros.

Last season, he was Deportivo's main force, replacing Tristan.

But after he came to Manchester City, he never proved himself.

This goal proves that Luke is still capable and can take on heavy responsibilities. Mourinho is also quite satisfied with this.

With such a rotation lineup, goals can still be scored. Mourinho is still very satisfied with the team's performance.

Kevin Phillips ran towards Luke with a smile. This season, his role is to be a substitute surprise soldier. This time the breakthrough from the wing is also very characteristic, creating a scoring opportunity.

His 120 million pounds is still worth it.

And this goal was also the only goal in the game, a 1:0. Manchester City scored 3 points again. This kind of score is still very good. Anyway, Mourinho is very satisfied after the game. good.

It's a good thing that the team didn't lose points during the rotation.

In the third game of the UEFA Champions League group stage in the middle of the week, Manchester City defeated their opponent 1:0 and won the group's three consecutive victories.

The consecutive 1:0 scores also show that Manchester City is very stable and knows how to win.

Although it doesn't look as eye-catching as at the beginning of the season, the effect is still the same.
