Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

Deng Kai: "I need to correct Lahm. We don't just have that many excellent players. We have that many of the best players!"

"That's right! I think many, if not every one of our players, will be the best player at certain times and in certain areas."

"But we need to prove this with some achievements and honors."

"That's why we work so hard on the field."

"That's why we keep attacking even after we've scored the fifth, eighth, or even tenth goal."

"No one is born great, but we are making ourselves, and Manchester City, great!"

Dongqiudi (a Chinese sports magazine) subsequently compiled quotes from various Manchester City players and published a special issue: "A team that is becoming great – Manchester City!"

……

The seventh round of the English Premier League kicked off on September 27th.

Manchester City vs Birmingham

Essien temporarily left the team due to family matters, giving Fabregas a starting opportunity, while Toure played as a defensive midfielder.

Young center-back Vincent Kompany also got a starting opportunity.

Manchester City played very well in this match.

Adriano's cross-field pass assisted Deng Kai's goal, and Deng Kai's outside-of-the-foot chip shot was quite skillful.

Adriano then dropped back to receive Fabregas' pass, turned and unleashed a powerful Batistuta goal, extending the lead.

The second half.

Ribery received a long pass from Toure, broke the offside trap, and scored a beautiful one-on-one goal.

In the final moments, Lahm crossed from the left flank.

Villa scores with a header.

Four to zero!

Manchester City secured another resounding victory.

In their last three matches, they have scored a staggering 21 goals, averaging seven goals per game – their attacking prowess is terrifying!

October 4th.

Premier League Round 8.

Desailly returned to the starting lineup.

Maicon crossed from the right, Ribery flicked it on, and Adriano scored early.

But then the game fell silent.

The second half.

Lahm dribbled through midfield and delivered a diagonal pass, which was met by substitute Fabregas, who played a through ball to Duncan, who pounced on the loose ball and slotted it home.

This extended the team's lead.

Three minutes later, Maicon, with Ribery's help, got an open space and delivered a cross.

Adriano attempted a sliding shot in front of the goal but failed to connect with the ball.

Substitute striker Torres followed up at the far post and slotted the ball home.

Three to zero!

Manchester City have kept a clean sheet in three consecutive matches.

While their offense is powerful, their defense is also becoming increasingly solid.

In red-hot form! Adriano has scored in eight consecutive matches!

He truly showed everyone what Ronaldo was like! Adriano scored ten goals and provided three assists in eight Premier League matches, leading the team in individual statistics!

He's stood up! Adria has finally stood up! He's become a truly top-tier striker!

"Aha! Adriano finally shines; Manchester City's trust in him has paid off!"

Adriano vs. Henry! The two are still tied for first place in the Premier League top scorer list!

Poor Henry! He outlived Cole, then encountered Van Nistelrooy! His unparalleled performance last year was followed by the phenomenal Duncan, and this year it looks like he's facing the next Ronaldo! He should have dominated the Premier League, but Manchester City always seems to be holding him back!

This sparked a great deal of discussion.

The Manchester Evening News believes: "Manchester City boasts a wealth of strikers, and aside from Duncan, Henry is perhaps better than any of them. However, he would find it difficult to simultaneously outmaneuver Van Nistelrooy and Cristiano Ronaldo, as well as Adriano, who has the support of Duncan and Ribery!"

Sky Sports: "Adriano and Henry are not in the same league. Duncan and Ribery are currently tied for the Premier League assist title with five each. For Arsenal, only Pires' four assists have provided any real help to Henry."

"From this perspective, Henry's goal-scoring ability is clearly stronger."

"More importantly, Henry himself has three assists. And in the future, his assists are destined to exceed Adriano's, so Henry is still the Premier League's top striker."

Manchester United fans are quite dissatisfied with this: "Manchester United haven't found a suitable candidate for right winger, and the new Beckham is not up to the task. This has resulted in Ronaldo and Van Nistelrooy not being in their best form."

"In the second half, with Manchester United's adjustments, neither of those two players will be worse than Henry!"

Manchester City fans found it even more amusing: "Before Keane came to the Premier League, Henry might have been the best striker. But after last season, the best striker in the Premier League is definitely Keane!"

Arsenal fans angrily reminded him: "But Duncan is a midfielder!"

Manchester City fans: "So what if he scored 47 goals and provided 37 assists in a single season, becoming both the Premier League's top striker and the Premier League's top midfielder?"

"You really think I, Kai, would take advantage of you?"

Chelsea and Liverpool fans have been holding back their frustrations.

After all, when it comes to the best midfielder in the Premier League, they believe their own Lampard and Gerrard are still contenders. At least they can be considered among the top midfielders.

But when Manchester City fans open their mouths, the whole world falls silent.

There's no way around it, Kyrie Irving was the stat-master last season.

Without top honors, Ronaldo didn't even beat Deng Kai in the current Ballon d'Or rankings.

October 15th, Europa League first round second leg match.

Manchester City's opponent is still Lokeren.

However, players like Deng Kai from Manchester City didn't even fly to Belgium this time.

Because it is not necessary.

They even brought along some unknown substitutes and youth academy players.

The starting lineup for this match is

=

Torres, Villa

Vidal, Fabregas, David Silva

马斯切拉诺

Ashley Young, Thiago Silva, Kompany, Sun Jihai

Noir

=

On the bench, Mandzukic, Nainggolan, and others were prominently featured, and they are expected to get playing time.

This 4-1-3-2 formation looks okay, but when you actually play it, it's all attack and no defense.

It's just plain bad breath, but I enjoyed it to the fullest.

With Ashley Young and Sun Jihai on the pitch, there were only three defenders left.

Just horrible.

Lokeren, on the other hand, has clearly not recovered from the nightmare of being defeated 13-0.

Serious mistakes occurred right from the start of the match.

Villa intercepted the ball from the opposing defender again and provided an assist for Torres.

This scene occurred during the last time the two sides clashed.

Immediately following, Sun Jihai delivered a long pass from the right flank.

Torres burst into speed, sliding in to score and complete his brace.

In the second half, Nainggolan and Mandzukic came on early.

David Silva played a one-two with Vidal before threading a through ball to Mandzukic. The solid Mandzukic received the ball, rounded the goalkeeper, and stumbled to score.

Mandzukic's honesty is evident not only in his appearance but also in his playing style, but that doesn't mean he lacks fancy moves.

At eighteen years old, which striker doesn't dream?

Ashley Young: Exactly.

Noir: They're talking about forwards, you're a full-back, get back and defend!

I like playing football on the ground: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him.
