309. The Battle of the Tyrants (Ask for Recommendation, Collect, Ask for Subscription)
Sky Sports post-match ratings:
Keylor Navas Dortmund didn't put Manchester City to the test much, and the two goals conceded didn't matter much to him, but who conceded two!
Van Dijk: Five points, as a slightly lower centre-back, his performance looked normal today, but he and Kompany failed to keep a look at Lewandowski at all in the crucial moments, allowing the opposition to seize one of the few opportunities.
Kompany has just recovered from injury and he looks like he's no stranger to the game and playing well, but Aubameyang has embarrassed him a bit.
Milner: 6 points, he did a good job of limiting Reus today, and he still has the energy to step up and assist.
Hills also froze Błaszczykowski, but at the crucial moment, he missed a mistake.
Casemiro, the Brazilian youngster, has done an excellent job of intercepting in midfield, but it is not enough for City to win on his own.
There was a lot of skepticism about Kroos when he first arrived, but no one doubts that he will make a name for himself at City, where his passing was solid and his opening strike almost gave City the lead, but perhaps he should have done a better job of controlling the tempo.
Silva: 6 points, a bit lackluster.
Kevin De Bruyne: Seven points, he's the best on City's side, they're all trying to create chances, they're shooting hard, they're on the line.
Costa was a sporadic threat on the flank, but he was far from what he expected.
Sergio Aguero really didn't have much to say, he missed three great chances, and his quality shouldn't be like that.
Dzeko came off the bench but was too late to provide an assist.
Dembele: 6 points, decent.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who came on as a substitute for Silva, was not much different from Costa and did not have many opportunities to perform.
Danielvin: 5 points, his tactics may be fine, the problem is the on-the-spot adjustment, I feel that he is always half a beat slow in the fight with Klopp!
"Daily Mail" comment: Manchester City lost to their arrogance, they approach the game like they are against a team in the middle and bottom of the Premier League, but Dortmund is not!
I don't know if the Daily Mail listened to Ian Wright's post-match comments to make such an assessment.
The Manchester Evening News defended Manchester City, saying that Manchester City's loss in this game was unlucky.
However, almost all the media are saying that Mrs. Aguero should not have wasted too many opportunities, and it is simply a big failure!
Wen Sheng said after the game that we don't have time to grieve, and that was 100 per cent true as Manchester City travel to Stamford Bridge against the Blues Chelsea at the weekend.
The clash between these two teams is much more interesting than Manchester City's vs Borussia Dortmund.
First, both teams are local tyrant teams, Abu became the owner of Chelsea to start the 10 era of the Premier League, and Mansour's entry into Manchester City opened the 20 era of the Premier League.
Even if Manchester City's net investment this season is not much, it is still undeniable that both teams are piled up with money.
According to the German transfer market, Manchester City's squad is worth more than £400 million, and Chelsea's squad is worth more than £300 million, and these two teams are the two most expensive teams in the Premier League.
The weekend match was dubbed the war by the media.
Second, after the retirement of Alex Ferguson, Jose Mourinho returned to the Premier League, and who is the best manager in the Premier League at this stage has become a topic of frequent discussion.
David Moyes' Manchester United are considered a challenger for Manchester City, but Moyes himself is in everyone's eyes – joke, is he comparable to Jose Mourinho and Daniel?!
Arsène Wenger, he is old, even though he changed his transfer thinking this summer, but he is still old after all, and he has not only disappointed Arsenal fans for many seasons in a row, but also completely lost the confidence of critics.
Brendan Rodgers, well, Liverpool have had a really good start to the season, but so what? Like Moyes, he is still not qualified to compare with Mourinho and Wensheng.
In terms of coaching honors, Wensheng is actually not comparable to Mourinho, and Mourinho's brilliant record makes him the top presence in the coaching world.
Wensheng has a very good momentum in the past two years, but after all, he has not won enough championships.
But he is young and talented, just like Jose Mourinho in his debut, and he led Manchester City to the league title they have been dreaming of for many years last season.
Jose Mourinho is very familiar with the Premier League, but there is a big difference between him and he should still be counted as a 'newcomer' at Chelsea this season!
In this way, an interesting situation is formed, Mourinho needs to compete for the championship to tell Wen Sheng Jiang is still old and spicy, and Wen Sheng needs to hold his ring, prove that his ability is no worse than Mourinho, and prove that he has the ability to surpass Mourinho's glory.
At the beginning of this season, Manchester City led by Wen Sheng also has a better record than Chelsea led by Mourinho, in the first eight rounds of games, Manchester City has won 7 wins and 1 loss, and is currently ranked first in the standings with 21 points, while Mourinho's Chelsea has 5 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in the first eight rounds of games, ranking fourth with 17 points, in addition to Manchester City, there are also Liverpool and Arsenal.
It's also interesting to say, after 8 rounds of league play, the pattern of the Premier League doesn't seem to be much different from that of Mu's first phase, except that Manchester United has been replaced by Manchester City, and Liverpool and Arsenal have also started quite well this season.
Third, the two managers also have a new hatred and old hatred, the old hatred refers to the Manchester City led by Wen Sheng last season to squeeze Real Madrid out of the Champions League last season, and the record against Real Madrid is good, this matter is a great shame for Mourinho, why do you say that, because of the identity of Real Madrid, because Wen Sheng broke the record of Mourinho's team to qualify for the knockout round of the Champions League year after year, so that Mourinho's proud record came to an abrupt end.
The new hatred naturally said that after Mourinho returned to the Premier League, it was not a good stubble, he once regarded Wensheng as a target, saying that Manchester City did not spend less money during Wensheng's coaching period, and the lineup was bought by money.
Wen Sheng himself didn't care, he felt nothing, at most he knew that this bird was just psychological warfare, but the media counted this new feud on the two of them.
Seriously, the relationship between the two people was actually good before, it was last season, the relationship between the two people this season is really a bit awkward, the problem lies in the media, Mourinho returned to the Premier League, the media always like to compare Wensheng with him, Chelsea drew two games, lost one, and all three reporters asked Wensheng related, Mourinho really wants to say that it's about me, why do you always compare him with me?!
As he spoke, Mourinho was open-mouthed, a little arrogant, stretched out two fingers and said: "At least he should win two Champions Leagues, and we can compare them equally at that time!" ”
