N-A-A Chapter 160
Chapter 160
After Manchester United was washed in blood by Manchester City, it almost collapsed, and there was no state at all.
In the earlier game, he was not humiliated by a weak team like West Bromwich Albion at home.
Triumphantly took away the three points, leaving Manchester United fans in a daze at Old Trafford.
When did Manchester United fall to this point?
In the other game, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur played a real game, which was evenly matched, each taking one point.
Although it is a good result to take away a point against a strong enemy, it may be a bigger and bigger gap with the top of the table.
Liverpool and Arsenal have remained relatively stable.
Despite the bumps in the game, taking at least all three points did not give City a chance to extend their lead.
And now, all the team's eyes have shifted to Manchester City.
However, for Manchester City, this game is indeed not a very scrappy battle.
After all, Aston Villa's strength cannot be said to be absent, but the gap with Manchester City is really a bit big.
Even though City had adopted a certain degree of rotation, they still won the game easily.
Xu Ning started the game, scored the opening goal, and before he could play much, he was replaced by Pellegrini protectively in the second half.
In the end, thanks to the goals of Xu Ning and Dzeko in the second half, Manchester City easily defeated Aston Villa.
This result was not unexpected at all.
Even Aston Villa fans didn't feel uncomfortable, and even a little smug.
In their parlance, Manchester City played Barca 3-0 and Manchester City played them 3-0, that is, they are the same as Manchester City.
Manchester City almost played Manchester United by double digits, which means they are better than Manchester United!
Although this statement is a bit self-deceived, the logic is too simple to refute it!
Then the Premier League started to catch on this meme.
As long as they don't lose to Manchester City by double digits, then they flaunt that they are better than Manchester United.
At this moment, Manchester United is nominally about to become the weakest fish belly in the Premier League!
The following weekend, Manchester City faced Everton at home.
After Moyes left the team, Everton's results did not decline significantly, and it is also amazing that they are still in the middle of the table.
However, this time they are facing Manchester City, which is obviously not enough to see.
After the repair, Manchester City's main starter came directly to a devastation and decay.
Everton barely fought back throughout the game.
The attack can only rely on crosses, and the defense cannot be prevented, what else can be done?
If you lose, you lose, anyway, they have psychological comfort - as long as they don't lose by double digits, they are better than Manchester United.
In the end, the match ended with Manchester City's four-goal victory.
Xu Ning played the whole game, scoring a goal in the first and second halves, and his condition was as stable as an old dog.
The former Manchester City striker combination of Sergio Aguero and Dzeko also scored a goal each, and under the stimulation of Xu Ning, his form was also hot.
Now Pellegrini has fallen into the happiest troubles.
The pair of top strikers Aguero and Dzeko is a proper striker in any absolute majority of teams or even many giants.
But now in Manchester City, because Xu Ning has no suspense to occupy a main forward position, Aguero and Dzeko can only play one most of the time.
Even sometimes facing different opponents, due to tactical arrangements, only Xu Ning may appear as a striker, and the two of them can only sit on the bench at the same time and stare wide-eyed.
Also, don't forget that there is also a Santa Cruz on the Manchester City bench who works quite well with Xu Ning and keeps his form well!
Because of the appearance schedule of several people, Pellegrini was simply gloomy!
Now he doesn't dare to put the League Cup and the upcoming FA Cup!
Although the two domestic cups are not in his eyes, they are at least serious matches, and the best way to get several strikers to guarantee playing time.
So, even if Pellegrini doesn't have much thought of the "treble" or even the "quadruple", the reality forces him to lead Manchester City in this direction.
What made Pellegrini most pleased was Xu Ning.
After all, Xu Ning did not fight for many times, and even let him come off the bench without complaint, but rather eager to try.
If Xu Ning was more domineering, then Aguero and Dzeko would have a hard time!
After this round, the league temporarily entered the off-season, but only for two weeks.
The international break is here.
After a good night's sleep with Everton, Xu Ning boarded the plane back to Portugal early the next day.
These two matches were the last two rounds of the European qualifiers for the '14 World Cup.
Portugal has no hope of squeezing Russia out of the group to reach the finals.
However, as long as they win at home in the next match, Portugal will seal up second place in the group and participate in the next play-offs.
Of course, this is not Xu Ning's pot.
Even before he decided to represent the Portuguese national team in international competitions, the poor performance of the Portuguese national team had already dug a big hole.
However, I believe that even if it plays the play-offs, I am afraid that no team can eliminate Super Portugal with Xu Ning and Ronaldo.
Regarding Xu Ning's transfer by the national team, Manchester City and the Portuguese national team have repeatedly communicated and negotiated.
I'm afraid that the most expensive Xu Ning will make any mistakes!
After all, Manchester City are now so intense, even if Xu Ning is often rotated protectively, there are still many games.
If they are injured in the national team, then Manchester City's results this season may not be guaranteed.
The invasion of the FIFA virus has always been abhorred by the big clubs.
Although FIFA has come up with the international break as a way to solve the crash of the schedule, it has not done much to solve the problem of injuries in players' national team matches.
So more often than not, it's the national team and the club that negotiate.
On the one hand, the club allows as much as possible;
On the other hand, the national team uses players leisurely, and cannot let the main players die, and irrelevant games can be rested.
It's like this communication between Manchester City FC and the Portuguese national team.
The first match against Israel is important, so the Portuguese national team will definitely send Xu Ning.
But if the first win over Israel then the subsequent match against Luxembourg will not matter, and the Portuguese national team will not let Xu Ning out.
This is a result that is satisfactory to all parties.
Of course, Xu Ning will not have any opinions, after all, a team of Luxembourg's level really makes him not too interested.
Just let Ronaldo brush up on the goal!
He loves scoring anyway!
Came to the Portuguese national team training base, the attitude of teammates towards Xu Ning, that is called a closeness.
"Don't laugh so flatteringly!"
"No matter how flattering you are, I won't invite you out to hi pi!"
Xu Ning said very speechlessly.
