Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

But soon, Maicon also completed a spectacular sprint down the wing, and with Ribery's help, successfully delivered a cross.

Villa made a clever run and headed the ball on at the near post.

The football deflected off Ferdinand and bounced into the net.

Since the ball was inside the goal area, it wasn't an own goal, but rather Villa's goal.

Spain's four kings are just beginning to show their talent!

The score was tied 1-1 at halftime.

The second half.

Both sides focused on the flanks, taking turns attacking each other.

Sixty-five minutes later, both sides made substitutions.

Manchester City substituted Torres for the exhausted Baggio.

A few minutes later, Deng Kai delivered a superb through ball from midfield.

Adriano was offside but not involved in the goal.

The real killer move comes from Torres on the left wing.

Torres, starting late but arriving early, outpaced Silvestre with a visible speed difference to create a one-on-one opportunity and ultimately scored.

Spain's four superstars have won another victory!

Luke, far away in Valencia, feels lonely and isolated!

Two against one, that's not fair!

In the final moments of the match, Cristiano Ronaldo made a strong breakthrough on the right wing and successfully created a corner kick.

Cristiano Ronaldo then took the corner kick himself.

Rio Ferdinand, the Premier League's top center-back, won the first header and headed the ball across the goal.

Diego Forlán scored with a header to equalize the score.

In the end, the playful Blue Moon, oops... I mean, the terrifying Blue Moon, took a point from Old Trafford.

The two sides shook hands and made peace.

Adriano's scoring streak was also ended in this match.

In this match, Adriano failed to score a goal for the team.

They went 90 minutes without scoring!

As a result, neither Manchester United nor Manchester City were able to climb any further in the standings.

……

The first leg of the second round of the Europa League took place on November 6th.

Grozsk, from the Russian Premier League, was trembling.

They finally get to play in the UEFA Cup, only to be immediately faced by a dominant team like Manchester City.

This is the team with the most firepower in all of Europe!

Crucially, Manchester City fielded their full starting lineup for this match.

Baggio, Adriano, Ribery

Duncan, Essien, Touré

Lahm, Chiellini, Desailly, Maicon

Cech

Desailly hasn't started for a while, but his form has improved slightly recently.

Throughout the first half, the Russians displayed their iron will and played a tenacious defense.

Despite having 19% possession, they managed to keep the score at 0-0.

Second half, 55th minute.

Maicon dribbles down the wing, Tourera receives the ball on the wing and sends a diagonal pass.

Adriano started from third gear, made a forward run to receive the ball, carried the polar bear from Siberia, turned and accelerated again, using his explosive power that was disproportionate to his size to shake off two defenders before blasting a shot into the net.

One to zero!

The terrifying blue moon shattered the ice of Siberia.

Around the 70-minute mark, Fabregas replaced Toure.

Torres replaced Baggio.

Eighty minutes.

Deng Kai made a through pass.

Fabregas, without stopping the ball, made a diagonal pass to complete the through ball relay.

Adriano was marked by the opposing center-back, but Villa got the chance, bursting out from behind the center-back and poking the ball into the net.

Two to zero!

Manchester City won.

This was also Manchester City's most lackluster attack in recent matches.

After the match, the media expressed concern about Manchester City's form.

Sky Sports: "Manchester City's 2-0 victory reveals a decline! Grozny and Terrick narrowly lose by two goals but still have hope for the next leg!"

The Times: "Manchester City's attack has plummeted, scoring only two goals in two consecutive games. What's the problem?"

The Echo: "Ribery's injury has significantly weakened Manchester City's attack; City lack a true top-class winger!"

BBC: "Manchester City should try to sign a top winger during the winter transfer window; their attack relies too heavily on wingers!"

Manchester Evening News: "Adriano goes 180 minutes without a goal! Ronaldo's moment card expires, is Adriano about to return?"

According to Dongqiudi, "Deng Kai believes the team's performance was normal. Even the best teams can't play with high scores every game. Manchester City is already very satisfied with winning."

Dongqiudi (a sports website): "Before this season, people expected Manchester City to win. But now, they expect them to win big!"

"Manchester City has been leading the way in changing the mindset of its fans."

"Perhaps one day, if Manchester City doesn't win the title, we will all consider them a failure!"

"But that day, in retrospect, proved Manchester City's success!"

Finally, after the match, Deng Kai promoted his friend Keira Knightley's new movie, which was released today, on his social media platform: "Love Actually is finally released. I've been waiting for this movie for a long time."

"This movie has such a stellar cast! It's a Christmas film worth watching a thousand times!"

"In the future, Europeans will see Keira Knightley's film at least once a year, and I hope it will be released every Christmas season!"

"I'm going to see it tomorrow. What about you guys? Do you want to come with me?"

Deng Kai tagged Ribery and Fonte.

The former is still recovering from injury and will not participate in tomorrow's training.

This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content!

The latter rarely plays, so of course he can skip training too. Deng Kai even forgot that Fonte was still a player.

November 8th, Premier League Round 12.

Manchester City vs. Leeds United.

Villa, who took over after Ribery's injury, delivered a brilliant pass in this match, setting up Toure for a stunning long-range goal.

Shortly after, Adriano won a penalty in the box, and Duncan converted it.

Eighty-first minute.

Deng Kai took a tactical corner kick, and Lahm chipped the ball into the penalty area.

Adriano's header was saved.

Torres, who came on as a substitute, scored on a rebound.

Manchester City easily defeated Leeds United, who have been very strong in the Premier League in recent years, 3-0.

Unfortunately, things are different now. With more and more excellent players leaving the team this season, Leeds United has become a pushover.

After this round of league matches, Leeds United have two wins, two draws, and eight losses in twelve games, firmly sitting at the bottom of the Premier League table with eight points.

This match is very important for Manchester City fans.

Although they are still ranked third in the league, behind Arsenal and Chelsea.

However, within Manchester City, Duncan's Premier League goal tally reached twelve, officially surpassing Adriano's eleven goals and regaining his position as the team's top scorer.

Manchester City fans have been waiting for this moment for a long time!

Of course, that's not to say Adriano isn't good enough.

Of course, everyone hopes that Adriano can score more goals.

But Deng Kai becoming the team's top scorer undoubtedly has more symbolic significance.

This means that Manchester City's core players are in good form.

This team has every reason to be expected to perform well!

The 13th round of the Premier League kicked off on November 21st.

Manchester City's opponent is Fulham, who are currently seventh in the league.
