In the end, Manchester City beat Liverpool at home thanks to goals from the stars of Ibrahimovic, Glory and Sneijder.

Liverpool, on the other hand, failed to score a single goal in the game and Dalglish suffered two consecutive defeats in the new season, while Manchester City halted their decline with a win and moved up to fourth in the league, behind Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United.

The media didn't know what to say in the face of such a big ups and downs of Manchester City.

If you want to say that they are in good form, they dare to be held to a draw by Tottenham Hotspur away from home.

You have to say that they are not in good form and have a bad future, and they dare to beat Liverpool by three goals at home.

On the second day after the game, the team trained as usual, and Rongguang was in a group with Sun Hai when the whole team warmed up before the start of training.

Rongguang, who was burying his head in pressing his legs, suddenly said: "Thank you, Brother Sun." ”

Sun Hai was stunned for a moment, and then understood why Rongguang said this, he smiled: "That's all I can do for you." I think I've been on this team for so long, and the face of this face is still somewhat useful, right? ”

Rong Guang shook his head: "No, Brother Sun." If we want to set a new record, you are also very important. Everyone matters. ”

Sun Hai's heart was hot when he heard this, and he nodded vigorously: "Yes, everyone is important!" ”

Three days later, Manchester City travelled to the third round of the league against Sunderland.

In this game, it can be seen that the whole Manchester City team is still in a run-in period, after all, the summer World Cup has a great impact on Manchester City, they have introduced a number of new players, but they have not had much time for technical and tactical training.

Sneijder and David Silvaco both played until the final, which was also a big physical burden on them, and the two of them still looked a little tired.

These are all questions of objective existence.

However, Manchester City still beat Sunderland 2-0 away.

The scorers were again Glory and Ibrahimovic.

This time it was Glory who scored first, and it was Zlatan Ibrahimovic who scored next.

It's like two people are in a goal race, you go in one, I have to go in with one.

There were three league games and both men scored two league goals.

If you include the Community Shield, the two men scored three goals each.

At a time when the team's attacking system is not yet running smoothly, relying on the individual ability of the stars, Manchester City can still play some pleasing attacking combinations to create goals.

That's the benefit of stacking stars.

Glory and Ibrahimovic often have some improvisational combinations, playing Sunderland's backline in a miserable way.

While Sneijder and David Silva were still on vacation, Glory and Ibrahimovic were the first to arrive in training and they went through a full pre-season training camp, so if you want to talk about a tacit relationship, there is probably no problem between the two......

And both are high-level players, and their ideas are surprisingly well matched. What Glory wants to do, Ibrahimovic knows; What Ibrahimovic wants to do, the glory is also clear. Sometimes Ibrahimovic makes a back-heel pass and glory is sure to come behind him.

There were times when everyone thought that Glory would definitely force a breakthrough, but Ibrahimovic ran into the open space and then Glory's ball came over.

It's hard for either of them to articulate how they feel, they're not good friends, they haven't played together before, but they feel like old friends they've worked together for years.

This may be due to the fact that they all have a high level of understanding of football......

This result surprised the media and thought it was unbelievable - they thought that the two of them would be very face-saving for Benitez if they didn't work directly on the court. Unexpectedly, now the two of them have a faint intention to become "golden partners"!

The world has not been good since Ibrahimovic decided to move to Manchester City!

After an away win at Sunderland, Manchester City remain fourth in the league.

The top four in the league have not changed, with Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United and Manchester City remaining unchanged.

The latter three have the same number of points, but there is a difference in the number of seats due to the difference in the number of goals scored and the number of goals difference.

Manchester City have not conceded a goal, as are Chelsea's overall formality, with only five goals scored, and they are behind Arsenal and Manchester United.

These four teams are the first echelon. Next up is Aston Villa, the leader of the second tier, who are fifth with six points.

Bolton, Birmingham City and Wolves all have five points, sitting in fifth, sixth and seventh respectively.

However, the position at the beginning of the league does not mean anything. At this time, there are indeed many middle and lower reaches of the team rushing to the top of the standings, but with the advancement of the league, it is the comprehensive strength, the thickness of the bench, the flexibility of the lineup adjustment, and the continuous performance of the players. At this time, the advantages of those big teams are reflected.

After this round of league play, it is the usual group draw for the UEFA Super Cup and Champions League group stage.

Glory, as a candidate for the best striker in the Champions League, is going to Monaco.

He was joined by Sneijder, a candidate for the best midfielder.

On the red carpet, Rong Guang was the center of the media attention, and he proved that he is still one of the best players in the tournament with his actual performance.

A year and a half after leaving the Champions League, Glory won the Champions League's top scorer again in his first season back in the Champions League, although Manchester City did not win the Champions League, but no one criticized Glory or thought it was Glory's responsibility. In fact, their point of view is that the table of glory is good enough, and the exit has nothing to do with him.

Rongguang's personal ability has always been among the best in Europe and the world.

Who can get a top scorer every time they play in the Champions League?

There has never been such a person, and in the 55-year history of the Champions League, Rong Guang is the first person.

When Rongguang and Sneijder walked the red carpet together, even Sneijder, who was an outstanding World Cup runner-up in the World Cup, became a green leaf of glory, and all the reporters' lenses were focused on Rongguang, and the flash flashed only for him.

Afterwards, some media used this incident to prove that the Champions League has surpassed the World Cup in terms of gold content: "...... The presence of professional European sports media showed that in their minds, Champions League stars are more worthy of their pursuit than World Cup stars......"

At the awards ceremony in the evening, the best striker was the least suspenseful, and Rongguang won this award again.

He scored 15 goals in last season's Champions League, a figure that did not break his previous record of 17, but it also surpassed AC Milan's legendary goalscorer Altafini's record of 14 goals, putting the top two goals in a single season in the Champions League with a glorious name.

This alone shows how terrible the glory is......

Sneijder, who lost to Inter Milan's Deco in the best midfielder, made a second career fresh after arriving from Chelsea under the tutelage of his mentor Jose Mourinho. He was a very important figure in helping Inter Milan win the Champions League.

He also won the Champions League Player of the Year for this.

The best coach in the Champions League was won by Jose Mourinho.

Benitez has fewer votes than Mourinho and is in second place.

The Champions League award ceremony was followed by the Champions League draw.

Although Manchester City had a very good performance last season, they were limited by the fact that they had no European experience at all in previous seasons, so they did not have many European points, and when arranging the grades, Manchester City only changed from the fourth pot last season to the third tier this season. It was thought that they would likely be placed in the Group of Death, with one of the strongest second-tier teams.

But this time, no one will think that Manchester City is a soft persimmon to pinch, and there will not even be a few people who want to be in a group with Manchester City.

They had already suffered this loss last season, and Manchester City was not a fish belly at all, but ...... What a sword!

Before the draw was announced, everyone thought that if Real Madrid, the strongest second-tier team, and Manchester City, the strongest third-tier team, were placed in the same group at the same time, no matter who the first-tier team and the fourth-tier team were, then this group would be a well-deserved "group of death"!

There are even reporters who have maliciously speculated whether UEFA will put Real Madrid and Manchester City in the same group again, so that their feud and feud will continue.

UEFA has done this before. Although UEFA has always insisted that their draw ceremony was very transparent and fair, there are so many coincidences that everyone thinks that UEFA's explanation is a piece of.

But this time, UEFA has played the old meme with a new twist, and they did not draw Real Madrid and Manchester City into a group.

Real Madrid, as a second-tier team, were placed in Group G, and AC Milan, who replaced Liverpool as a first-tier team, were placed in a group, which means that this group will be the "Group of Death".

Real Madrid and Manchester City have been dismantled, so there may be two "groups of death" in the Champions League group stage.

After drawing all the teams in Pot 2, it is the turn of the teams in Pot 3.

Manchester City were drawn first and they were assigned to the ...... Group I, Group A.

With defending champions Inter Milan and Werder Bremen!

The second group of death in this Champions League group stage has also been officially born!
