Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Although Manchester City only took away one point in this game in the away game, this game made Manchester City's situation better.

    Falling behind three times and equalizing three times is not something that ordinary teams can do. This is enough to prove that Manchester City's nerves have begun to become tougher. Only with such toughness can the team reach its peak.

    Bell's outstanding performance also caused a climax in the media - you know that he has become Southampton's main force last season and is known as a rare talent. Now he has such outstanding performance after joining Manchester City.  Although his performance lasted only twenty minutes, the media began to take an interest.

    However, in this case, Dick resolutely resisted the pressure of the media and gave Bell a quiet environment - he did not bring Bell to the press conference and refused all interviews with him.  Bell was not given too many changes. After all, Bell was still too young. It would not be a good thing to make him famous too early at this time.

    In the middle of the week, Manchester City ushered in the third round of the League Cup. Manchester City was still lucky this time. Their opponent was the British Championship team Norwich. In this game, Dick continued to use a full substitute lineup, and Bale did the same.  He got the opportunity to play, and maybe those twenty minutes gave him enough confidence. Although Bell did not score or assist in this game, his sharp breakthrough on the left put great pressure on the opponent's defense, which added to the pressure on the opponent's defense.  Shangyang made a breakthrough on the right, and Manchester City's two wings flew together to make Norwich miserable. However, Vassell seemed to be in poor condition and wasted several opportunities. In the end, Manchester City relied on Ireland's midfielder to make up for it in the penalty area.  Shot scored a key goal to help Manchester City win the game, and Manchester City entered the fourth round of the League Cup with their heads high.

    The League Cup is not a tournament that many teams participate in. Entering the fourth round is equivalent to entering the top 16 - Manchester City has not won any championship since returning to the Premier League. Even if they win the League Cup,  It will make Manchester City fans very happy - after all, this is the best championship to win.

    A team that wants to be ambitious cannot miss the number of championships. From this perspective, no matter what championship it is, as long as it can win one or two championships, it will always gradually increase the thickness of its honor book.  , especially for a team like Manchester City that is not inherently strong. In fact, they used to be the kind of team that aimed at relegation and tried to win the championship in the cup. Although now they have changed their guns.  However, you have to eat your food one bite at a time, and Manchester City fans are still very contented.

    Of course, this kind of contentment will continue to expand in the future, but for now, Dick won't think so far ahead.

    After entering the semi-finals of the League Cup, Manchester City once again faced a strong opponent. Although Newcastle's performance has begun to decline in the past two years, and because of the rise of Chelsea, they have no chance to enter the Champions League, but they are still in the League Cup.  regulars. After seven league rounds, their results are three wins, three draws and one loss, ranking sixth. Their points are only two points less than Manchester City. Although this game is an away game, Newcastle also wants to win as much as possible to improve its own score.  Ranking.

    Before the start of this game, although Manchester City had gradually come out of the previous unfavorable situation, the criticism did not stop too much. The media no longer criticized Manchester City as a whole because Manchester City's performance was gradually improving.  One fact is that the target of their criticism has begun to focus on Torres - the top transfer bidder of the Premier League this season does not seem to be in very good condition. He has started almost every game in the seven rounds of the league but only scored two goals.  Even Franck Ribery, who was roaming on the wing, scored two goals. Di Natale, who was not well-known before, scored five goals in seven games. Torres opened the scoring in the first round.  After that, there was a scoring drought for five consecutive rounds, and the scoring drought was broken in the last round, which was somewhat inconsistent with his worth.

    "Fernando, do you feel the pressure?" Dick asked Torres in front of him with a smile.

    Torres shook his head. He is not a person who is afraid of pressure. He served as the captain of a team like Atletico Madrid at such a young age. He came under pressure. Although Dick was quite protective of him when he was here, but in  After Dick left, he began to become the main player and captain of Atletico Madrid. What is different from history is that Atletico Madrid was at a low point at that time, and Torres was the captain who carried the banner in adversity. Now, Atletico Madrid  It's already brilliant enough. He became the captain at such a young age, so he will definitely be questioned more. In such an environment, he has never performed abnormally due to pressure, let alone now?

    "I know you don't feel the pressure Don't worry, I can see your performance, you just score a little less As long as you find your form, you will score more goals, Fernando, I believe when you start to adapt  In the Premier League, you will find that scoring goals in the Premier League is better than scoring goals in the Premier League.It is easier to score goals in the First Division.  ¡± Dick laughed.

    "Really? Then when I return to La Liga in the future, will I not score goals for this reason?" Torres also laughed and asked Dick.

    Dick really burst out laughing now, and he was still in the mood to joke, which at least proved that Torres was really not affected too much.

    Breaking the goal drought in the last game failed to stop the questioning voices. It shows how much pressure and attention a standard king receives. In people's eyes, a player with such a high value should be better than others in terms of performance.  Others are even better, otherwise they are parallel imports and do not live up to their name!  Especially as the top player, you will receive even greater attention, because who makes you the most expensive player to transfer this summer?

    In this game in the eighth round, the starters sent by Dick were not much different from the previous starters in the league. Goalkeeper Hart, defender Richards, Samuel, Kompany, and Barnes,  Midfielders Barton, Parker, and Yaya Toure, forwards Ribery, Torres, and Di Natale.

    "In the last round, Torres broke the five-game scoring drought, and he got the starting start again in this game But to be honest, from the beginning of the league to now, Torres has been the worst performer among the three attackers.  One! Ribery quickly showed his abilities and became the core of Manchester City's offense. Di Natale has an unexpectedly good scoring rate. What can we only see from Torres on the court?  Constantly running, the two goals came from Ribery's assists, which were just supplementary shots in front of the goal. As a center, such goals are indeed too few. I think Dick can try to use Watts.  Serge, at least he is a striker who can create chances with the ball.¡±

    The commentator began to feel sorry for Vassell. In fact, Dick would not let a forward like Vassell play the main role because his personal style is too strong. For Manchester City, which has many new players, Dick is more  They will use players with excellent coordination ability. Vassell's personal ability is good, so let him show his personal ability in the cup.

    There are two "abandoned generals" of Dick in the Newcastle team. The Turkish Emre has been in Newcastle for three years. He joined Newcastle because Dick said that he was not in his plan as soon as he joined Inter Milan.  Although he played well in Newcastle in the past three years, Emre was naturally quite unhappy when he saw his old teammates winning championships one by one. Unfortunately, his position in Newcastle was no longer the same after the start of this season.  Unstable, he was not able to enter the starting lineup in this game

    The other one is Nigerian forward Martins. This fast forward played under Dick for one season and won a league championship before being sold to Newcastle by Dick. However, his attitude towards Dick is more complicated, and it cannot be said that he is not good.  I hate Dick, but after selling Martins, Dick led the team to win two consecutive Champions League championships. In fact, Dick's actions were correct, and this was not because of any personal opinions against them.

    As a loyal Inter Milan fan, Martins was more grateful to Dick. Before the game started, he hugged Dick specially, and Dick patted him on the shoulder and said: "Do a good job!  "

    Seeing this scene, Emre pouted on the bench.

    But after the game started, Martins was really Newcastle's most threatening player.

    Newcastle's current strength is not weak. The midfielder consists of Smith, Milner, Butt and Gremi. No wonder Emre no longer has the main position. The forward partnership of Viduka and Martins is also standard, one high and one fast, but with  Compared with Viduka, who has begun to age, Martins is obviously a greater threat because of his lightning speed.

    Manchester City's two central defenders, Samuel is stable and experienced, and Kompany is strong and good in confrontation. However, facing Martins who uses speed to attack, the two did seem a little confused at the beginning.

    Manchester City had the advantage on the field from the beginning, constantly threatening Newcastle's goal through passes and shots. However, Newcastle's goalkeeper Given performed very steadily. He successively saved Ribery, Torres and Yaya.  Toure's shot can become the Premier League's best goalkeeper of the decade. Given does have his outstanding abilities. Although he is not very tall, this Irish goalkeeper can always make wonderful saves.

    After withstanding Manchester City's attack for a period of time, Newcastle's offense began to gradually improve. Their four midfielders are all standard strength players. More importantly, they are all adapted to the Premier League

    When the two sides were entangled for nearly thirty minutes, Newcastle's midfielder made a beautiful cooperation and Milner passed the ball.Smith, Smith suddenly started to pass the ball behind the Manchester City defense. Martins accelerated to get rid of Kompany's defense, raised his foot in the penalty area to unload Smith's pass, and volleyed past Hart's fingers.  close!

    "Newcastle is ahead! Beautiful counterattack! Manchester City fell behind again at their home court! Martins once played under Dick for a season, and then was sold to Newcastle by Dick. Now Martins has proved Dick with a goal like this  It was wrong back then!¡±

    The commentator is probably confused. Martins scored a good goal, but does this prove that Dick was wrong?  By mistake, he also won two Champions League championships. If this was good, how many championships would he win

    Torres stood in the frontcourt, looking at Martins who made several somersaults in a row, with no expression on his face. Newcastle's defense against him was very tight just now, which prevented him from finding any opportunities. It is estimated that many commentators were laughing at him.  Let him
