Long live the King of Balls

Chapter 057 It's really unpraise

Manchester City now has the same points as Arsenal, tied for third place in the table.

The team's performance has impressed many people, but they are not the real dark horse of this season.

The so-called dark horse, the strength of the team must be very average, and its performance must always be mediocre. Manchester City will meet the following conditions at that time. However, the current staffing of Manchester City is not inferior to that of some giants.

A real dark horse has appeared in the European top league, a team that has never played in the highest league in the past 104 years - Hull City. In this round of the league, they beat West Bromwich Albion away 3-1 and played nine Premier League games. Hull City's result was six wins, two draws and one loss, with an accumulation of 20 points, ranking second in the league, only one point less than the leader Liverpool!

This Yorkshire team, which was still struggling in the fourth league four years ago, shocked the four sides with its amazing performance of visiting two North London giants in London twice a week. They defeated Arsenal 3-1 away in the sixth round of the league, and eliminated Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 in the seventh round of the league, and then United In the eighth round of the game, he won West Ham United at home, and in this round of the league, he defeated West Bromwich Alm by three goals away!

This is one of the most concerned teams in the Premier League now. In addition to the same excellent results, Manchester City can be comparable to Hull City.

Hull City's amazing performance broke all those who predicted that it would be a "relegation hit" before the new season. And their fans are so proud that they can sing to the former European champion coach Ramos in White Hart Lane: "You will be out of class tomorrow morning."

Because the traditional jersey is yellow and black stripes, Hull City is nicknamed "Tiger". This was originally an ugly ridicule of "tiger skin" by the outside world, but now it has become the best portrayal of "animal ferocity" in Hull City.

"Tiger"'s five away games with 4 wins and 1 draw, three of which were all in London. In addition, their victory over Bristol City's Premier League promotion play-offs - the greatest day in the club's history - was also held at Wembley Stadium in London, and the capital became the favorite place of Hull City. .

This ancient team came to the top game of the Premier League for the first time in history, but it wrote a different chapter with a high fighting spirit. Let everyone look at it with new eyes!

However, although Hull City is now ranked second in the table and the media has praised the team, in fact, not many people are really optimistic about this team. The general view is that at the end of the season, Hull City can be in the middle of the table, for the first time in history to play the top league. For the team, it is the perfect season.

On the contrary, Manchester City, which had been questioned before, began to be favored, especially in this round of the league. In the absence of publicity, Manchester City defeated Stoke City 3-0 at home, which surprised people. Some people began to question Manchester City's suffering from 'prosperity dependence'. After this game, Shut up for the time being. They have a choice to say that the future of Manchester City this season may be worth looking forward to.

The Times analyzed the team with Manchester City. "Money is not everything, but with money, it can enrich everything you want. Manchester City is like this now. The teams with Zhang Yang, Robinho and Motrich are on the right path, and they seem to have begun. It's a little time to adapt to the time when Zhang Yang is not on the court. In the game with Stoke City, whether it is Robinho or Modric, their performance is quite excellent. Of course, with the flamboyant Manchester City, it is the most powerful! The Chinese young man began to brand his own mark on the 'Blue Moon'.

The Times used a page to discuss the great changes in Manchester City in the new season. The reporter believes that money is the first element, and as the first crocodile of Manchester City's Jinyuan offensive, the arrival of Zhang Yang is epoch-making significance. The arrival of Zhang Yang not only changes Manchester City's playing style has also solved Manchester City's three problems: first of all, it is naturally the problem of Manchester City's poor ability to attack, which is the most deadly reason why Manchester City often collapses. There is no doubt about Zhang Yang's strength. With him on the court, it is the greatest deterrent to the opponent. Second, Zhang Yang's threat is not only that he can score goals, but Moreover, Zhang Yang can pass and shoot. In the ninth round of the league, he has dedicated five assists and ranked first in the assist list. Third, Manchester City has been criticized for lack of blood and playing hard. After the arrival of this personality star, he brought masculinity to Manchester City. In the battle against Liverpool, Zhang Yang led Manchester City. Several times to equalize the score, although the conflict between him and Mascherano is not worth encouraging, it can be seen that his personality is tough.

The Guardian believes that the Manchester City team is beginning to take shape. It only needs to be fine-tuned in the key parts, and then the rest is that the team is better. After nine rounds of the league, Manchester City has run in better, and this team also makes people look forward to him more. In this season, Zhang Yang and his teammates will have a huge shock effect on the pattern of the league. Manchester City's performance this season will surprise everyone, who are changing the power of the league.

The Daily Mail asked fans and reporters three questions. First, how many rounds will Manchester City's unbeaten record last after the start of the new season? Second, who can end Manchester City's undefeated gold body? Third, Zhang Yang, who ended the suspension and returned to the team, will he still score crazily?

The reporter of the Daily Mail said: "Manchester City's performance after the start of the new season surprises us that they did not fall down against Chelsea and Liverpool. The three-to-five scores confirmed the cruelty of these two games and did not fall behind in the confrontation with the strong team. And in the face of ordinary opponents, they can often win, and even slaughter Portsmouth 7 to 0. Can this Manchester City team continue this good state? How long will their undefeated golden body last? Will Zhang Yang continue to score his crazy goal? Will he rule the Premier League in his first Premier League season? We will wait and see these problems!"

For Manchester City and Zhang Yang, the current public opinion environment is much better than at the beginning of the season.

The media also praised Manchester City and Zhang Yang.

Even the Manchester Guardian shouted an unbeaten slogan for Manchester City. Well, this slogan is a little exaggerated, but Manchester City fans like it.

However, I have to say that Manchester City is really a little unlucky for these praises.

Moreover, their luck is really bad.

On October 29, Manchester City's away game against Middlesbrough. When he warmed up before the game, Zhang Yang strained his thigh muscles and could not play. Mark Hughes can only temporarily decide to replace Zhang Yang's starting position with Bodinov.

Zhang Yang was injured during the warm-up, which also seems to indicate Manchester City's bad luck in this game. The final score of this game was 1-0. They lost away to Middlesbrough, and the season's unbeaten golden body was broken. And Middlesbrough's goals are all on the head of Manchester City's central defender Compani. There is a very strange line change, which can even be understood as Compani's header and hanging the goal...

After losing the game against Middlesbrough, Manchester City's points ranking suddenly fell to seventh place!

Of course, because the difference between the top seven is relatively small, although Manchester City ranks seventh, it may raise its ranking at any time.

However, for this team, the loss of this game is a big blow to morale.

After the game, the team doctor's report also cast a shadow on the whole Manchester City team.

Zhang Yang's injury is more serious than expected. He will be suspended for a week, which means that in the next round of the team's home game with Boulder, Zhang Yang will also watch on the wall.

This is a blow to the whole team of Manchester City, even more than this defeat. In the case that the team lost and the season's undefeated golden body was broken, the team urgently needed a person to stand up and stabilize the army. In any way, Zhang Yang was the most suitable candidate, but he was injured again.

Other players, whether it's Robinho or Motrich or Wright. Phillips can't replace Zhang Yang's role in the team. They don't have that kind of appeal and strength.

After these games, Zhang Yang has long won the trust of the whole team. Everyone believes in him and believes in him. If Zhang Yang stands up and says that a loss is nothing, and I will take everyone to win the next game. No one will think that this Chinese young man is talking big, and everyone's mood will be much better because of this sentence. Unfortunately, he is injured now and can't play the game.

The next week of the Premier League will be a double match. In the middle of the week, Manchester City will challenge Bolton away.

In this game, Manchester City lost away again, with a score of zero to one. After the start of this season, the majestic Blue Moon suffered two consecutive defeats.

It is said that the media is the most unreliable, which is absolutely true.

Those media that had been praising Manchester City before suddenly changed their faces.

"We said at the beginning of the season that this Manchester City team will not perform well this season. Football does not mean that it can be effective immediately after spending money. This is a gradual cumulative process. The Arabs are very ambitious. Unfortunately, they are doomed to be disappointed. Now, as a matter of course, the eleventh rounds of league The game is over. What is their current ranking? Seventh place! And they have just experienced two consecutive defeats, and no one knows whether they will continue to lose?" - The Guardian

This review of the Guardian represents the mainstream voice of the current Fleet Street. They are all questioning Manchester City. Some simply sentenced Manchester City to death again. They seem to have long forgotten selectively. Two weeks ago, it was still them who sang praises to Manchester City, and some even said that Manchester City. It is not a problem to be in the top four of the league. Now, just two weeks later, after two defeats, all the praises have long disappeared, leaving only overwhelming criticism.

Because of the previous report, The Sun is a grudge against Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang is the flag of Manchester City, which even makes the relationship between this media and the Manchester City Club a little worse. Seeing the decline of Manchester City's record, The Sun has some gloating. Si, they also used a section to sneer at Manchester City, with the title:

Manchester City, you really don't praise it!

PS: The first update. I said weakly: The pig's head asks everyone for red tickets.
