Chapter 871: With Li Feng, you won't lose
(I've had a busy day today, I'm so tired, ask for support)
Seeing his godfather again, the season has just begun, and Li Feng has already had two close contacts with Platini, the first time in the two-week Champions League group stage draw. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Feng received the trophy of the best player in Europe from Platini, and this time, Li Feng took home the medal of the UEFA Super Cup winner.
"It's a pleasure to see you little guy again, you have done a great job beyond everyone's expectations, and tonight, this championship is deserved," Platini looked at Li Feng with a smile on his face and a pair of eyes flowing with relief.
Li Feng, this guy, was maliciously speculating about his godfather's psychology in his heart, "He's meow, who will stop Manchester City and this Chinese guy, Lao Tzu really doesn't want to look at him." ”
On the top podium of a European club for the second time, the excitement on Kompany's face did not diminish in the slightest, but this is normal, for the championship, no player will be unhappy, as a professional player, in addition to a high salary, the championship is their greatest pursuit.
Even, in the history of football, many players have given up high salaries and clubs for many years for the sake of titles, such as the victory over Batistuta and the Van Persie in Manchester City today.
Therefore, in the Manchester City squad, there is no one more excited than Van Persie, you know, in so many years at Arsenal, Van Persie has only won one FA Cup.
Even manager Van Basten made no secret of his joy at the moment: "Tonight was just a wonderful night, we added another trophy to the club's room of honour that has never been touched before, we did very well today, and I am sure no one will question this title." ”
Indeed, the next day, even the Spanish media praised Manchester City with the words "Super Manchester City", saying that they are currently the strongest team in Europe, and Barcelona's supremacy will be seriously threatened.
In England, the Daily Mail had a headline "Manchester's supership has, word of mind, the name of the battleship is Manchester City, not Manchester United." ”
In China, the sports weekly newspaper focused on praising Li Feng's performance, "In the first half, Feng assisted first, then defended, completely limited Atletico Madrid's most threatening player, and even almost made him lose confidence, and in the second half, he used a goal to help the team lock up the win, this game, Li Feng once again became the best in the game." ”
Of course, winning the championship is worth celebrating, but unfortunately, Manchester City did not have much time, and that night, Manchester City returned to Manchester in a "rising blue moon", and this "rising blue moon" has become veritable, and even Manchester City's upward momentum is a little too strong.
Van Basten was still very humane, giving the players a half-day off, not having to report to the club the next morning, and only starting training in the afternoon.
A game, with only two days in between, can be imagined as difficult for Manchester City, and most of the players have been with the national team for two weeks and played two games.
So, a day later, Manchester City came to Stoke City by bus, and Manchester City's squad had to make a big rotation, but the goalkeeper did not change, it was still Joe Hart.
At the back, Kolarov replaced Klich, Boateng partnered Lescott, the veteran Kolo Toure on the right, and only Li Feng remained on the pitch in the last game in midfield.
This is not surprising, Li Feng's physical condition, Manchester City knows that there is no special Asian at all, it is a complete monster.
The other two are Minard and Rodwell, Shaqiri on the left, Son Heung-min on the right, Dzeko in the middle, Robin van Persie and Silva are all rested, and Sergio Aguero has returned to training, but Van Basten didn't even bring him to Stoke for safety.
In the past three leagues, Manchester City firmly occupied the top position in the table, while the second place was Mancini's Chelsea, which also caused many so-called expert media to fall through the glasses.
After all, in the pre-season friendlies, Chelsea's performance was too much to bet on, and the team was in a situation of tearing down and rebuilding, it is really hard to imagine that after the start of the league, Chelsea was so strong, winning three in a row.
Stoke City, on the other hand, sit 12th in the league and have all ended in draws in the first three rounds, including Arsenal.
Prior to last season, Stoke City were unbeaten at home, but that record is now long gone and City are no longer the City they once were.
Even if Stokes was ready to play their best, they still couldn't stop Manchester City from taking a win away in this game.
City took the lead in the ninth minute, with Yaya Toure cutting off the ball at Whelan's feet down the middle and passing it to Li Feng, who crossed the half-time and drove straight in.
Dzeko desperately squeezed into the penalty area, but unfortunately in this game, Dzeko had no advantage, but the two central defenders of Stoke City were too tall and too hard.
However, the disadvantage of being tough is that he moves slowly, which also gives Li Feng a chance, looking at the vicious Hute, Li Feng wiped it with a dexterous change of direction and went straight into the Stoke City penalty area.
"goal~~~ Manchester City leads, as long as there is wind, Manchester City will not lose, this is the wind with a season, with four championships to bring Manchester City confidence."
"The clumsy Huth almost wanted a piece of wood in front of the wind, after bursting into the penalty area, although Begovic immediately stepped forward to block Li Feng's shot, but the final result was not even his own small goal, a push, the ball drilled through Begovic's crotch, and finally rolled into the goal."
However, just when everyone thought it would be smooth sailing, Crouch's header gave City a slap in the face.
In the twenty-fifth minute of the game, Rodwell was broken through by Charlie Adam, Boateng had to pull out of the penalty area to defend, and then Charlie Adam crossed, Walster took the ball on the side and immediately got up and crossed, Lescott made a mistake and did not concentrate.
Manchester City is extremely depressed, Lescott has the strength, but the problem of attention can't be changed, and in the middle, Rodwell didn't put enough pressure on Charlie Adam to break through easily.
In the end, the two sides went into the break at half-time at 1-1, and Van Basten also made a point of naming Lesko, and the England midfielder did need a little pressure.
After being named by Van Basten at half-time, Lescott performed very well in the second half, and Crouch never took advantage of it again in the second half.
Manchester City also took advantage of the situation to take the lead again with a wave of counter-attacks, Li Feng played a long pass from the back, Son Heung-min used his speed to surpass the last defender to form a one-on-one knife, and finally sent the ball into Stoke City to score, which was also the South Korean striker's first goal for Manchester City.
