Everything seems to point to an easy first win for Manchester City to get off to a good start to the league and, judging by their past results, there seems to be no reason for them to lose. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Because Manchester City has never lost at home in the new season since 1999, even Manchester City fans walked into the Etihad stadium with a relaxed and happy mood.

And this situation will inevitably affect Manchester City's players, making Manchester City players have a mentality of underestimating the enemy.

"Marco~~~ Is this really okay?" The coaching staff is watching the situation of Manchester City's players, and as an assistant coach, Kidd can't help but be a little worried.

"These guys need someone to remind them, or they really think they're invincible" Van Basten shook his head, from the moment he won the Community Shield, Van Basten found that his disciples had a sense of pride.

However, he also knows very well that his disciples are still a little too young, and Manchester City is indeed proud of his achievements last season, at this time, if he says anything, it is estimated that the players will not listen, so he is ready to hand over this responsibility to his opponents.

There were a few changes to City's squad today, with Clichy returning to the starting line-up, while Frenkie de Jong was unwell ahead of the game, and Van Basten put him on the bench to be on the bench to be on the safe side, with Rodwell making his debut.

This situation is also the envy of Shaqiri and Son Heungmin, after all, this is the first game of the season, and the level of attention is very high.

As for Nan'an's ordinary squad, there is no one in the team who can be called a star now, after all, they were in the Championship before, and the attention of the players in the second division is actually very limited.

Of course, there are still two good members of the squad in Nanan, such as Schneiderlin and Lallana, after a few years of training in the Premier League, one joined Manchester United and the other went to Liverpool.

This has to be said that Southampton has done a really good job in player training and youth training, Manchester United's 92 class is famous in Europe, largely because of Manchester United's status as a giant, but if Southampton has such a status as Manchester United, their young players are not poached by other giants, maybe their youth training will be more famous.

However, there is no possibility in this world, and Southampton is only a promotion horse today, but if you underestimate the promotion horse, you may pay a heavy price.

In the European afternoon, to the cheers of more than 40,000 Manchester City fans at the Etihad, the players of Manchester City and Southampton took the field under the leadership of the referee.

Although it is not the second game of the opening, the FA still attaches great importance to this game, how to say that Manchester City is also the champion of last season, so it is the famous whistle of the Premier League who is responsible for enforcing this game, the bald Webber.

Soon, the first threatening attack of the game appeared, but it was not the Manchester City as expected, but an attack from the promoted side.

And when it came to picking sides and attacking, Southampton opted to take the lead, and their first wave of attack came after the opening two minutes.

Rodwell made mistakes, or rather, he underestimated the average player of Southwell, but it is not surprising that Southampton's low profile and media touting, not to mention Rodwell, but also the rest of Manchester City.

Lallana, in this game, he did not appear on the wing he is most familiar with, but came to the middle, and formed the Southampton midfield with Schneiderlin.

Shook over Rodwell, although this pass was a little too easy, but Lallana would not stop, and Boateng immediately made up for it, but still could not stop Lallana.

Rodriguez, who played as a striker in this game, retreated and made a simple one-two with Lallana, past the Manchester City central defender, Kompany is obviously too late to fill in at this time, not to mention that Southampton's two wings have rushed over.

Shooting, Lallana did not hesitate and shot directly with a strong kick, but Joe Hart was not a vegetarian after all, showing the style of the best goalkeeper last season, flying to catch the ball with both hands.

Switching between attack and defense, Joe Hart kicked out, Li Feng hit a ball near the middle circle, and sent the ball to the feet of Aguero on the right, but at the moment when Aguero turned, the ball was cut off by Southampton fullback Klein.

The ball switched and Southampton turned to attack and the ball was at Lallana's feet again, but this time Rodwell had already put away his mind to light the opposition.

But even so, England's young talent still failed to stop Lallane's breakthrough, if Downing was touted as England's best technical player before, then after today, Lallana's name may also be mentioned.

As for Rodwell, the talented midfielder, who was hailed by England as a prospect, is destined to be the backdrop for Lallana's rise today.

However, it is impossible for Lallana to rush to the bottom like just now, because Yaya Toure has already retreated, and even behind him, Li Feng is struggling to chase back.

Passing, faced with this situation, Lallana made a very correct choice and passed the ball to his teammate, Doprado on the left, who crossed immediately after receiving the ball.

Rodriguez was both tall and bounced, but the City captain was even better than him, and in the end, with his body and bounce, coupled with precise positioning, Kompany headed away a corner for Southampton.

The corner did not pose much of a threat to City and was denied by Joe Hart, but it looked like it was a different start than had been expected.

"Oh oh oh~~~ Southampton didn't seem to be like their manager had said they had only been five minutes into the game, but they had already completed two waves of attacks, while the defending champions at home only had one pass across the half."

Not to mention the semi-professionals like the commentators, even the fans found that the situation on the pitch seemed to be completely different from what the media expected before the game, and Southampton was not only not as weak as expected, but even forced the defending champions playing at home.

At the same time, the camera of the live broadcast also pulled to the managers of the two teams, and Adkins did not show any joy because his team pressed Manchester City.

On the other hand, Van Basten was also not angry because his team was at a disadvantage, and even, Van Basten had expected this situation, and even couldn't ask for it, and now Manchester City needs someone to remind them.

Although it has been a season, Manchester City's players are still relatively young, young people have aspirations, but when young people achieve results, they will be easy to pride. (To be continued.) )
