N-A-A Chapter 136
Chapter 136
However, when Pellegrini announced the starting list for this game, hearing that Xu Ning did not start, all the teammates swept back and forth towards Xu Ning and Pellegrini with an extremely strange look.
What's the situation?
Xu Ning really didn't start?
It doesn't make sense!
In daily training, Xu Ning showed unparalleled form, but it made every Manchester City player feel palpitated.
Especially during the team's training match, the substitute side was simply abused by Xu Ning.
So it's not a matter of state at all.
Could it be that, as the media hyped, head coach Pellegrini really had a conflict with the team's number one superstar Xu Ning?
But the problem is that in their impression, Xu Ning and head coach Pellegrini have a good relationship, and they hate to hook up, where is the contradiction?
Finally, they thought of last season and the title of Xu Ning's super substitute.
As if there is some magic, as long as Xu Ning comes off the bench, the first shot will inevitably score!
In many games, Xu Ning appeared as a substitute player.
Even if there is a metaphysical element in this, if you think about it this way, it seems that things are much more reasonable.
And when the game was about to start and the starters from both sides lined up and walked into the stadium, everyone saw this amazing fact.
"We saw players from both sides out of the tunnel!"
"The game is about to begin!"
"That's not right!"
"How is this possible?"
"We didn't see Xu Ning's shadow from Manchester City's starters!"
"This means that Xu Ning did not start today's game against Newcastle!"
"It's definitely the most incredible thing!"
"Judging from the situation before the game, Xu Ning must not have suffered from injuries!"
"And he also made a big statement that he will take Manchester City to win all the titles in the new season!"
"But in the first game of the new season, Xu Ning did not start, but sat on the bench!"
"It's just shocking!"
"Is there anything hidden in this?"
"The media hyped that Xu Ning and Pellegrini had a conflict, and now this has been confirmed?"
"The camera was given to Xu Ning who was sitting on the bench, but he was talking to Pellegrini sitting next to him with a relaxed expression."
"This is obviously not a contradiction!"
"It seems that what exactly happened can only wait for the news report after the game!"
......
The commentators' expressions were very surprised, apparently not expecting Manchester City to put Xu Ning on the bench.
In the middle circle, Aguero and Dzeko, who started today, looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
They must cherish this much-anticipated starter.
If Manchester City hadn't brought in Xu Ning this summer and played in a two-striker formation, the two of them would definitely be the team's regular starters.
And now, if Xu Ning starts, then they will most likely have to come off the bench.
This is also the inevitable competition of the giants!
Manchester City have now reached this level.
Today, Pellegrini is playing a more aggressive 442 formation.
Sergio Aguero and Dzeko partner up front, with Nasri and Keylor Navas on the left and right wings, and Yaya Toure and Fernandinho in the midfield.
The centre-back is Kompany and new signing Demichelis, while Kolarov and Sabaleta sit on the left and right, and Joe Hart is naturally in front of goal.
If Xu Ning is not considered, this is likely to be Manchester City's main squad for the new season!
This squad is far more than one notch stronger than Newcastle on the opposite side.
So at the beginning of the game, it was almost one-sided!
Keylor Navas and Nasri are pounding Newcastle's wing with impunity, as if they are about to fly!
The defensive hardness and running coverage of midfielders Yaya Toure and Fernandinho are enough to keep Manchester City's midfield safe.
All that remains is Dzeko and Sergio Aguero who are fit to break the Newcastle goal with absolute superiority!
Of course, Newcastle's counterattack still needs attention, after all, Premier League teams have this hand.
If you can't play it, you just hold back and fight back, which is somewhat similar to last season's Malaga.
However, it is clear that Manchester City's attack is still a big threat.
Dzeko and Sergio Aguero have created dangers in front of Newcastle in succession, and if it hadn't been for the start of the season and everyone has not reached their best competitive form, I am afraid Newcastle would have fallen behind.
Even so, City took the lead in the 24th minute.
Nasri struck on the left flank, cooperated with the supporting Sergio Aguero, and finally chose an inverted triangle pass after entering the big penalty area along the baseline.
Dzeko in the centre did not waste such an opportunity and volleyed the ball directly into the Newcastle goal.
1:0
Xu Ning couldn't help but stand up and applaud the wonderful performance of his teammates.
It's a great feeling!
He is no longer alone!
Teammates alone are enough to compete with many giants!
Plus yourself, that is absolutely the world!
After a one-goal lead, Newcastle had to step up their attack and could not continue to shrink.
Manchester City's defence has withstood a wave, but not too strongly.
Manchester City's fast attack has become more and more powerful, with Keylor Navas and Nasri up and down, making Newcastle half loud.
The situation is under control!
In the 39th minute of the first half, Nasri won the ball on the left flank and cut straight inside into the far corner to break the Newcastle goal.
But before Newcastle could kick off for two minutes, Manchester City scored!
This time it was Sergio Aguero who scored.
The Argentine striker took the ball with his back outside the penalty area in the middle and swayed to get rid of the defender, swinging his leg in place and volleying to a powerful shot.
Aguero's downset is very solid and powerful, and this way of putting power is quite difficult to handle.
The first half is not over, Xu Ning is not on the field, Manchester City has led Newcastle by three goals!
Xu Ning sat on the bench, his expression was really crying and laughing.
It seems like...... Nothing more of your business?
When I was in Malaga, I wanted my teammates to give a little bit of strength and help me share the share.
But now that you come to Manchester City, it doesn't seem like a good thing to find your teammates too strong.
The teammates themselves did all the work, and they became useless people!
Pellegrini observed Xu Ning's strange expression next to him, and smiled secretly in his heart.
He could quite understand Xu Ning's mood at the moment.
So at the beginning of the second half, Pellegrini replaced Xu Ning.
The formation was not adjusted, but Xu Ning replaced Aguero.
Dzeko is more responsible for responding and creating opportunities for Xu Ning.
The moment Xu Ning appeared on the field, the Manchester City fans in the stands erupted with cheers that seemed to shake the universe, and the excitement from the bottom of his heart made Xu Ning stir with emotions.
I couldn't help but raise my hands above my head and applaud gently to the four stands, thanking the fans for their support.
Next, it's Xu Ning's turn to perform!
