Chapter 188 Two groups of death

In the end, Manchester City defeated Liverpool at home with the goals of three stars, Ibrahimovic, Glory and Sneijder.

Liverpool failed to score a goal in the game, Daglish suffered two consecutive losses in the new season, and Manchester City stopped the decline with the victory of this game. At the same time, their ranking in the league also rose to fourth place, behind Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United.

The media doesn't know how to comment on Manchester City, which has such ups and downs.

If you say that they are in good shape and are in full swing, they dare to be tied by Tottenham Hotspur on the road.

If you say that they are in poor form and have a worrying future, they dare to beat Liverpool three goals at home.

The day after the game ended, the team trained as usual. Rongguang was in the same group as Sun Hai when the whole team warmed up before the training began.

Rongguang, who was buzzing his head and legs, suddenly said, "Thank you Brother Sun."

Sun Hai was stunned for a moment, and then understood why Rongguang said that. He smiled and said, "This is the only thing I can do for you. I think I have played in this team for so long, so how much face the face is still useful, right?"

Rong Guang shook his head: "No, Brother Sun. If we want to set a new record, you are also very important. Everyone is very important."

Sun Hai felt aroused when he heard this and nodded vigorously: "Yes, everyone is very important."

Three days later, Manchester City ushered in the third round of the league away, with their opponent being the "Black Cat" Sunderland.

In this game, it can be seen that the whole Manchester City team is still in a running-in period. After all, the summer World Cup has a great impact on Manchester City. They have introduced many new players, but they have not had much time to train technically and tactically.

Sneider and David Silvaco played until the finals, which was also a great burden on their physical fitness. The two of them still seemed a little tired until now.

These are objective problems.

But Manchester City still beat Sunderland 20 away.

The goals scorers are Rong Guang and Ibrahimovic again.

This time it was Rong Guang's first goal, and the next goal was Ibrahimovic.

It’s like two people are having a goal competition. If you enter one, I have to follow you.

The league has played three rounds, and both of them have scored two league goals.

If the Community Shield is included, the two players will score three goals each.

When the team's offensive system is not very smooth, relying on the stars' personal abilities, Manchester City can still play some pleasing offensive cooperation to create goals.

This is the benefit of piled up stars.

Rongguang and Ibrahimovic often have some improvised cooperation at first glance, and the defense line of Sunderland was miserable.

While Sneider and David Silva were still on vacation, Rong Guang and Ibrahimovic were the first to arrive at the team to start training. They experienced a complete pre-season training camp so if you want to talk about the level of tacit understanding, there is probably no problem between the two...

Moreover, both of them are high-level players, and their thinking is surprisingly co-starred. Ibrahimovic knows what Rong Guang wants to do; Rong Guang knows what Ibrahimovic wants to do. Sometimes when Ibrahimovic passes with one heel, Rong Guang will definitely appear behind him.

Sometimes everyone thinks that Glory will definitely make a breakthrough, but Ibrahimovic ran into the air, and then Glory's ball came over.

It is difficult for both of them to explain this feeling. They are not good friends and have never played football together before, but they feel like old friends who have worked together for many years.

This may be due to their high level of understanding of football...

This result surprised the media and was incredible - they thought that it would be considered very worthy of Benitez if they were not on the court. Unexpectedly, they now meant to become "golden partners" now.

The world has been in a bad state since Ibrahimovic decided to transfer to Manchester City.

After winning Sunderland away, Manchester City still ranks fourth in the league.

The rankings of the top four in the league have not changed, and Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United and Manchester City are still there.

The points of the latter three are the same, but there are differences in seats because of the different goals and the number of goals.

Manchester City, like Chelsea, did not concede goals, but due to the unstable team's overall condition, they did not score many goals, only five, so they rank behind Arsenal and Manchester United.

These four teams are the first tier. Next is the second tier's best Aston Villa, who ranks fifth and has six points.

Bolton, Birmingham and Wolves all scored five points, ranking five, six and seven respectively.

However, the ranking at the beginning of the league is meaningless. At this time, there are indeed many mid- and lower-level teams who are at the forefront of the standings. However, as the league advances, the overall strength is compared, the thickness of the bench, the flexibility of lineup adjustment, and the continuous performance of the players. At this time, the advantages of those giant teams are reflected.

After playing this round of league, as usual, the European Super Cup and Champions League group stage draws in group draws.

As a candidate for the best striker in the Champions League, Rongguang is going to Monaco.

Sneider was also with him, who was the candidate for the best midfielder.

When walking on the red carpet, Rong Guang was the focus of media attention. He used his actual performance to prove that he is still the best player in this event.

After leaving the Champions League for a year and a half, Rong Guang won the Champions League top scorer again in his first season. Although Manchester City did not win the Champions League, no one criticized Rong Guang or believed that it was Glory's responsibility. In fact, their view was that Rong Guang's performance was good enough and that it had nothing to do with him.

Rongguang's personal abilities have always been the top in Europe and even the world.

Does anyone win a top scorer every time they participate in the Champions League?

There has never been such a person. In the 55-year history of the Champions League, Glory is the first person.

When Glory and Sneider walked on the red carpet together, even Sneider, the runner-up of the World Cup, who performed well in the World Cup, became the green leaves of glory. All the reporters' shots were aimed at Glory, and the flash was only flashing for him.

Afterwards, some media used this incident to prove that the value of the Champions League has surpassed the World Cup: "...They are all professional European sports media present, and they pointed the camera at Rong, which shows that in their minds, the stars in the Champions League are more worthy of their pursuit than the World Cup stars..."

At the award ceremony in the evening, the best forward was the least suspenseful, and Rongguang won the award again.

He scored fifteen goals in the Champions League last season. Although this number did not break his previous record of seventeen goals, it has surpassed the record of AC Milan legendary scorer Artafini's 14 goals, making the top two in the Champions League single-season goal record with glory names.

This alone shows how terrible the glory is...

Sneijder lost to Inter Milan's Deco in the best midfield. After coming to Inter Milan from Chelsea, he rejuvenated his second career spring under the guidance of his mentor Mourinho. He is a very important figure in helping Inter Milan win the Champions League championship.

He also won the Champions League best player.

Mourinho won the best coach in the Champions League.

Benitez has fewer votes than Mourinho, ranking second.

The Champions League awards ceremony is followed by the Champions League draw ceremony.

Although Manchester City performed very well last season, they had no experience in European competitions in the previous seasons, so they did not have many European competition points. When arranging the grades, Manchester City only changed from the fourth level of last season to the third level of this season. This makes it think they are likely to be assigned to the death group and be with the strongest second level of the team.

However, this time, no one thinks that Manchester City is easy to squeeze in soft persimmons, and there are not even a few people who want to be in the same group as Manchester City.

They had already suffered this loss last season. Manchester City is not a bad guy at all, but...

Before the lottery results were announced, everyone thought that the strongest second-level team Real Madrid and the strongest third-level team Manchester City were assigned to a group at the same time, no matter who the first-level team and the fourth-level team were, then this group was a well-deserved and unquestioned "death group"

Some journalists even speculated maliciously whether UEFA would put Real Madrid and Manchester City in the same group to continue their grudges and hatreds.

UEFA has not been less than this before. Although UEFA has always insisted that their draw ceremony was very transparent and fair, there were too many coincidences that everyone felt that UEFA's explanation was nothing.

But this time, UEFA has made new ideas about the old tits, and they did not draw Real Madrid and Manchester City into a group.

Real Madrid, as the second-level team, was assigned to Group G and AC Milan, who replaced Liverpool as the first-level team, was assigned to a group, which means that this group will be the "death group".

Real Madrid and Manchester City have been disassembled, so there may be two "death groups" in the Champions League group stage.

After drawing all the second-level teams, it was the third-level teams.

Manchester City was the first to be drawn out, and they were assigned to... Group One, Group A.

With defending champion Inter Milan, Werder Bremen
