Chapter 14 Manchester City is the champion?

Despite the victory over two traditional "cash machines", the four wins in two consecutive games made the media in England exclaim that the former ruler is back!

Two big wins in a row, almost all of Manchester United's frontcourt players have a series of highlight data, Li Qingshan has four goals and two assists, Di Maria has two goals and one assist, Mata has four assists in two games, Di Maria, Li Qingshan, Mata The offensive combination has become the attacking combination that has created the most goals in the two rounds of the Premier League.

"Two games, eight goals, two successive 4-0 wins since the start of the season, Carlo Ancelotti's Manchester United have become the most eye-catching team in the Premier League since the start of the new season. In successive victories, the Red Devils have given a new shock and shock, and the changes in the team have been impressive. In particular, Manchester United directly activated the striker Li Qingshan, who was poached from Atletico Madrid with a liquidated fee of 100 million, scored four goals in two league rounds, and also created two assists, six of Manchester United's eight goals are directly related to Li Qingshan. In Carlo Ancelotti's hands, Di Maria and Juan Mata also have a tendency to return to their peak form. Juan Mata, in particular, has four assists in two Premier League games and has also scored a goal, a performance that is infinitely reminiscent of his time as the Premier League's best player. ”

In most media, there was no doubt that Manchester United's performance was a big sung of praise. This is the case in the media, except for the media with a specific position, such as Liverpool's, which will not say anything good about Manchester United, and the other media will naturally not hesitate to praise it.

Even Henry, an Arsenal legend who was a guest commentator at Sky Sports after retiring, was amazed by this Manchester United attacking combination in an interview: "Li Qingshan, Di Maria, Mata, height, strength, speed, skill!" Mata is neither tall nor strong when he uses the ball to create space for passing and assists Li Qingshan, his awareness and footwork are impressive. At the back, Fellaini, Kramer and Hummels have the strength and physicality to do things that most people can't, especially when it comes to handling high balls and switching between attack and defence. ”

"Do you think Manchester United will be favourites this season?"

'Yes, I'm sure Carlo Ancelotti has a squad that is good enough to support them to win the title. Henry replied in the affirmative.

After two league games, Manchester United are one of the favourites.

The reason why it is said is that their rival Manchester City has also won two consecutive victories.

Especially the team that Manchester City won in the second round, but it was the defending champion Chelsea!

Jose Mourinho's side have drawn one and lost one after the opening two rounds of the Premier League, picking up just one point.

Especially in the second round against Manchester City, a clean loss of 0-3 on their home turf pushed the defending champions to the forefront.

Just as victory can mask all problems, defeat can expose all problems, and even magnify them.

That's the case at Chelsea right now, with the women's team doctor scandal intensifying under the media hype.

The Sun even broke the news that the Chelsea team doctor had been involved in affairs with a number of Chelsea players, and they even went to interview the ex-boyfriend of the team doctor Ava

In short, this matter seems to have become the number one gossip in the Premier League now.

This season is Mourinho's third season back at Chelsea, and the word three is really not an auspicious quality for Mourinho. In his third year at the helm of a team, there has always been an undercurrent of problems and problems.

In the 2006/2007 season, Chelsea owner Abou spent a lot of money to bring in Shevchenko without consulting Mourinho, and the arrival of Ukrainian nuclear warheads upset the balance within the Blue Lions, the team developed a bad chemistry, and the rift between Mourinho and Abou grew, and that season, Chelsea also lost two consecutive seasons of defending the Premier League title. After the first five rounds of the new league season, Mourinho was disgraced. When he took charge of Real Madrid, Mourinho's third season was also chaotic. In the 2012/2013 season, Mourinho's clashes with Cassie and Cristiano Ronaldo intensified, and that season Real Madrid won nothing but the Spanish Super Cup. Eventually, the Madman also terminated his contract with the Galacticos early at the end of the season and returned to Stamford Bridge.

Manchester City, who beat Chelsea, are another favourite.

The Manchester duo have won two straight games in the first two rounds of the season. However, City's two-game winning streak seems a little more convincing because of the direct dialogue between the defending champions in the first two rounds.

Manchester United's opponents in the first two rounds are obviously not tough enough, and Manchester United is far from being a champion before encountering a real strong team.

However, the season is so long, and just two league games don't tell the whole story.

For Manchester United, their next game will be a Champions League qualifier at home to Club Brugge in midweek.

Last season, Manchester United finished fourth in the Premier League, which has three direct qualifiers for the Champions League, while fourth place is required to participate in a qualifying round, which can only be passed to qualify for the Champions League.

Therefore, strictly speaking, Manchester United are not qualified for the Champions League at the moment.

Of course, not many would have thought that Club Brugge from Belgium could pose much of a threat to Manchester United. Especially in the two-legged home and away games, for strong teams, the two-legged game is like a double insurance, and the possibility of an upset is very small.

Of course, even if the opponent is not strong, but in this kind of game related to Champions League qualification, Ancelotti does not dare to be careless.

He even trained specifically for Bruges.

Compared to Carlo Ancelotti's cautiousness, Manchester United's players are much more relaxed.

During the training breaks, there was no tension on the players' faces as if the big game was coming. For them, a small team like Club Brugge is simply not worth mentioning.

"I can finally play a game where there aren't so many physical collisions." Kramer grumbled in English.

For him, the Premier League has been an eye-opener, with physical collisions being much more frequent than in the Bundesliga in the two league games he has experienced. It's no wonder he's complaining.

"Chris, you have to be careful. The teams we've played against in these two games have been gentle in England. Rooney patted Kramer on the shoulder.

Although Rooney only got the opportunity to come off the bench in these two league games, and he played when the overall situation of the game was decided. Rooney is of course unhappy in his heart, he is not willing to be a substitute, but as the captain of the team, he can only hold back his inner dissatisfaction in his heart and will not say it on any occasion. For players, the only way to get a regular position is to impress the manager with their performances on the pitch and in training.

"That's right, Chris. Some of England's lower teams have a rather brutal style of play, and they will even deliberately kick you in the ankle to please the fans, and the fans in England buy it. Li Qingshan also scared Kramer seriously.

"Don't listen to him, we play in the Premier League, not in the amateur league." Hummels watched his compatriots frightened by the group of rough men around him, and hurried out to comfort his little brother.

'Yes, yes, we play in the Premier League, we can't play against the lower teams. Little Beet Kramer hurriedly comforted himself.

Li Qingshan smiled evilly at Kramer.

"Have you forgotten that there is also the FA Cup and the League Cup"
