Chapter 117 September
There are only four league games in September, with an average of one game a week.

In the three games that have ended, Manchester City defeated Blackburn 1:0 away, and captured Aston Villa 3:0 at home. In the next home, they defeated Fulham 4:1. The league held 7 rounds , after exhausting the first two rounds, Manchester City has achieved a brilliant five-game winning streak.

This wave of five consecutive victories also made Manchester City's situation in the standings, from the bottom No.3 to the positive No.4.In front of Manchester City are Liverpool, Arsenal and Portsmouth.

Liverpool's schedule is very good. Up to now, they have won five wins, two draws and only conceded two goals. They have not lost, and created the best start in team history; Arsenal only lost one game to Manchester City, and won the rest of the games; the most impressive Surprisingly, Portsmouth, under the leadership of old coach Redknapp, was originally just a downstream team, relying on a gorgeous offense, and under the leadership of a group of veterans, achieved suffocating results , which made them the brightest star in the Premier League this season.

But Portsmouth's league ranking is not a headline, Manchester City's five-game winning streak is not a headline, and even Torres' five goals in seven games is not a headline.

The biggest headline came from Chelsea. After losing this round, the Chelsea club announced that coach Mourinho was dismissed because of his poor record. He was replaced by the technical director of the Chelsea club, Grant.

It is hard to believe that a manager who has contributed so much to Chelsea has just left.Although everyone doesn't like Mourinho's character, there is no doubt about his ability.Mourinho has continuously set records, broken the vicious circle, and promoted the reform of the Premier League team in recent years.

But the owner of Chelsea is Abramovich alone. To put it bluntly, Chelsea is a toy of Abramovich.Now this toy has brought him a lot, and now Mourinho still can't bring him the Champions League he wants, then he will have to recruit again.

In terms of other teams, Manchester United has won four consecutive victories after three winless games, and is currently only behind Manchester City.

The most disappointing thing is Newcastle. Under the leadership of coach Allardyce, Newcastle only occupies the second-to-last position, and they even lost to Derby County.

But for Duncan, the standings is not what he cares about.What he cares about is the title of the Premier League's best coach in September.

City have won three of their four games in September.Duncan's main opponents at present are Manchester United and Portsmouth. They also won three games this month.It depends on the ownership of the best coach of the month, the most important thing is this last game.

Manchester City's opponent is Middlesbrough, while Manchester United's opponent is Chelsea, and Portsmouth will face Reading at home.

The opponents are not strong, so the result depends on one's impromptu performance.

For Manchester City, there is another good news, that is, Isaacson is back.However, Isaacson's comeback has posed a problem for Manchester City's coaching staff: should Joe Hart or Isaacson be the starting goalkeeper?
Regarding candidates, the coaching staff had two completely different views.

Assistant coach Jim Cassell believes Isaacson should start.The reason is that Isaacson was originally the main goalkeeper. After recovering from the injury, he is in good condition and can return to the position of the main goalkeeper, which is also his previous position.And Joe Hart is still too young after all, he still needs time.

Assistant coach and player Andy Cole believes that Joe Hart should continue to be sent.Because Joe Hart played seven games and only conceded two goals when the overall situation was determined and it didn't matter.And the kind of domineering he showed in the game shows that he is a natural goalkeeper.So we should abandon the age view and let Joe Hart continue to start.

After several stages and rounds of negotiations, such as amicable discussions, face-to-face negotiations, tit-for-tat, and hitting people but not in the face, there is still no result.

In the end, this matter came to Duncan, and the two asked Duncan to make a decision.

Duncan's answer is simple and clear.

He chose Joe Hart.

The reason is simple: it's a very easy choice between an outdated first-class goalkeeper and a goalkeeper who is becoming a world-class goalkeeper.

They don't understand it now, and they don't know it.

But Duncan, who comes from the future, can understand very well that if Joe Hart is retained, Manchester City will not have to worry about the position of the team's main goalkeeper within ten years.

Speaking of their own considerations, the two assistant coaches who were in dispute also accepted Duncan's statement.

In any case, fortunately for Duncan, the Manchester City bench finally no longer has to sit on the cheating goalkeeper Weaver.

Manchester City's slightly weak position has also been made up for.

September 9, sunny and sunny!

The rare sunset coated everything in Manchester with a beautiful golden yellow.Under the setting sun, the city stadium looks so sacred.In the afterglow of the setting sun, citizens wearing Blue Moon jerseys stepped out of their homes after dinner.Flock to the sacred hall in the city center that brought them countless joys and emotions——

City Stadium!

Two hours later, the city stadium became a sea of ​​joy, and blue became the only color of the city stadium!
在07－08赛季英超第8轮联赛的比赛中，已经取得五连胜的曼城坐镇主场城市球场5：1横扫目前排名联赛积分榜第9的米德尔斯堡！

In this game, Newcastle used their 3232 formation, led by the most competitive striker combination of Samaras and Shevchenko, and scored five fantastic goals!

Samaras scored a hat-trick!
Shevchenko scored twice!

The two emperor superstars scored all 5 goals of the team!
Except for the two, Bianchi got a chance to play for 30 minutes, but unfortunately, although Bianchi worked hard every second after he stepped on the green shade, his luck was really bad, and he always had the same chance as the progress. The ball passed the shoulder!

In the 89th minute, after both Samaras and Shevchenko left the field, Hargreaves was considerate of Bianchi, an Italian striker who came to the team at the same time as himself but scored only one goal, and took a penalty kick. The opportunity was given to him.

But Bianchi kicked the ball into the stands.

Bianchi's expression was very low. At the beginning of the season, Shevchenko's state was unstable, and he could still get more playing time.But now that Shevchenko is the main force who is firmly established, he has performed poorly.To make matters worse, another striker Vassell has recovered from injury and is undergoing recovery training.This scene was almost regarded as Bianchi's final redemption, but he failed in acting...

For Bianchi, who joined as the fourth striker in Serie A, these two months have been a nightmare that he never wants to mention——

Eight rounds of the league have passed, plus two English League Cup games and one UEFA Cup game, Bianchi has played 8 times in Manchester City, but he handed over a dismal report card of 6 goal and 1 assists .Even in the scores of the media after the game, Bianchi often occupies the bottom one "throne"!
The poor performance, compared with the original striker who called the wind and rain in Serie A, is like a difference!
Many people who had hoped for Bianchi fell through their glasses!

Before the halfway point of the season, many media couldn't wait to label Bianchi with the label of "the biggest parallel import of Premier League summer signings"!

In September, this season is still hot, but Bianchi seems to have entered the cold winter!
Career winter!
There were even rumors that Bassong, the general manager of the club who advocated the introduction of Bianchi at the time, dropped a phone on the same day and urgently made an appointment with Bianchi's agent.

Then came the news that Manchester City intends to sell the Serie A striker during the winter break.
