i want to be king

Chapter 951 God, please let this man go!

On the evening of December 16th, in the No.[-] round of the Premier League, Manchester City played against Norwich City at home.

The three newly promoted teams this season have all performed very well.

Norwich has the highest ranking and is currently ranked tenth, followed by No.11 Swansea. The league rankings of these two teams are even higher than No.12 Everton, and No.13 is Queens Park Rangers.

Judging from the current trend, these three teams cannot be said to be safe, but the possibility of relegation is still very high.

On the contrary, Bolton, Blackburn, Wigan Athletic and Wolves, which are familiar to many fans, are currently at the bottom.

It can also be seen from this point how fierce the current Premier League competition is.

In addition to Manchester City winning [-] consecutive victories in the standings, the competition for the other three places in the top four is also very dark.

Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool, these six teams are all vying for these three places. Whoever can keep the top four will be able to make a fortune in the Champions League next season.

The reason for this fierce competition is actually related to the income distribution of broadcasting rights in the Premier League. After all, twenty teams, including teams that have been relegated, can benefit greatly from the increase in broadcasting rights income. This has caused the current purchasing power of the Premier League teams to be very strong.

……

The carnival in London did not affect Manchester City's preparations.

In fact, on the day after the carnival, there was basically no news in the media, and even if there was, it was just a brushstroke. With the Spring and Autumn style of writing, there will be basically no media hype and hype.

This also means that Manchester City has begun to initially establish a relationship with the media.

It can be said that this is an exchange.

However, Su Dong was issued an internal warning by the coaching staff. The reason was that as the captain, he did not manage the players well, which caused many players to violate the requirements of the head coach Guardiola and carnival in nightclubs until almost dawn.

Su Dong accepted the internal warning willingly, and gained further support from the players in the locker room.

Everyone knew that it was Su Dong who took the blame for them.

Of course, they would not know that when Su Dong left the nightclub, he had already talked with Guardiola on the phone and supported Guardiola's punishment, because the head coach also needs to maintain his authority to prevent players from crossing the line in the future.

Therefore, the final result is that the players had a good time, but Su Dong was fined.

……

Perhaps because of the fact that there are very few double matches in a week, Manchester City was a little uncomfortable at the beginning of the match against Norwich at the Etihad Stadium.

Although it was slightly off, it still made everyone in Manchester City break out in a cold sweat.

In the 10th minute, Pepe also made a mistake in defense, and Morrison broke into the penalty area with the ball again to form a single shot, but was saved by Courtois who decisively abandoned the goal and resolved a dangerous situation.

After making two mistakes in a row, Su Dong was completely annoyed. He got angry on the court and reprimanded his teammates.

The Manchester City players also realized the problem and quickly calmed down.

The game re-entered the rhythm of Manchester City, firmly controlling the ball, and in the No. 16 minute, Toni Kroos went straight to the right side of the penalty area, Sanchez dribbled the ball through the bottom line and then passed back in an inverted triangle.

One to zero!

This goal also completely blew the horn of Manchester City's offense.

Norwich shrinks and sticks to it, trying to stabilize its defense.

No. In the 206th minute, Toni Kroos made a long pass over the top and passed it behind the left side. After Marcelo plugged in at high speed, he passed the ball from the left to the center, and Su Dong followed up again to volley and hit the goal.

As a result, the ball landed too close this time, and Su Dong's shot was blocked by the goalkeeper.

Only 4 minutes later, after Busquets intercepted the ball in midfield, he sent a through ball to Su Dong's feet.

With his back facing the attacking direction, facing the pass from Busquets, Su Dong directly kicked the ball and passed the football from the crotch of the defending center back Barnett.

In just one shot, Su Dong threw away all the defenders. After catching up with the ball at the front of the penalty area, he swayed past the goalkeeper who was halfway through the attack, and easily pushed for an empty goal, two to zero!
Manchester City's attack was overwhelming.

Two minutes later, again on the left, Marcelo and Di Maria hit the wall and passed the ball to David Silva.

After the Spanish midfielder stopped and adjusted, he directly sent a through ball to the left side of the penalty area behind the defense line.

Marcelo sprints to the baseline and passes the ball back to Sudong in the penalty area.

I saw that Su Dong made another beautiful stoppage, and the whole process was as smooth as flowing clouds and flowing water. After throwing away the defender Martin who was defending him, he faced Barnett who was helping to defend him.

hat trick! ! ! !
Su Dong opened his arms excitedly, flying across the Etihad Stadium like a glider.

The nearly [-] Manchester City fans in the audience were all shouting his name hoarsely.

After scoring consecutive goals, Manchester City did not feel satisfied, but continued to attack wildly.

From the 34th minute to the end of the first half, in just ten minutes, Manchester City took a total of seven shots, four of which were almost scored, which made Norwich's goal very jittery.

In the second half, after changing sides and fighting again, in 1 minute, with an assist from Su Dong, Busquets, who rarely scored a goal, volleyed from the top of the penalty area and broke through Norwich's goal, four to zero!

It can be said that the iron tree is blooming!
Not long after that, Su Dong was replaced by Aguero, because starting from this game, it was the devil's Christmas schedule, and Guardiola wanted Su Dong to play leisurely.

After leading [-]-[-], Manchester City continued to chase hard.

First, Toni Kroos fired a direct free kick past Norwich's goal, and then Aguero and substitute Douglas Costa also scored in the final stages of the game.

In the end, Manchester City beat the newly promoted Norwich [-]-[-] at their home court.

…………

…………

On December 21, in the No.17 round of the Premier League, Manchester City played against Stoke City at home.

After defeating Norwich in the last round, Guardiola made a substantial rotation, but Su Dong still started.

It is not difficult to see that Guardiola trusts and relies heavily on Su Dong.

And Su Dong has always used goals to repay the trust of the coach, Manchester City fans, and the management in him.

After the opening, Su Dong frequently created threats, and in No. 15 minutes, Busquets scored the ball to the right. After Douglas Costa dribbled the ball from the right rib and broke into the penalty area, he volleyed himself, hit the defender's leg, and bounced out.

Su Dong nimbly grabbed the ball near the penalty spot, made a supplementary shot, and opened the scoring for Manchester City, [-]-[-]!

No.209 minutes, Manchester City made a tactical corner kick and passed it back to David Silva.

Fortunately, the ball landed at Su Dong's feet again by accident. He stopped and poked again, and the ball went in again!
After scoring the goal, Su Dong spread his arms out laughing.

"I guess, Su Dong must be saying in his heart now, my God, I don't even want to score, why is the ball going to my side?"

"Do you have to force me to score like this?"

"Can't I be lazy and score a few fewer goals?"

"God, please, let this man go!"

"Ha ha!!!"

Su Dong is indeed being lazy, but this is an instruction from the coaching staff, and Guardiola does not want Su Dong to be too involved and exhausted.

After all, this Christmas schedule is really too troublesome, the game is too dense, there is no chance for people to breathe, especially it is easy to get injured.

Only 7 minutes after Su Dong scored the second goal, Moutinho took the ball from the front of the penalty area and failed to break through, but the opponent did not kick far, and the ball fell to Douglas Costa.

However, not long after the start of the second half, Zabaleta was injured in a fight with the opponent and was carried directly into the locker room by the team doctor. Guardiola was forced to replace him with Trippier.

This is also a major hidden danger of the devil's schedule.

The game is too intensive, the players are under too much pressure, and the probability of injury is skyrocketing.

With lingering fears in his heart, Guardiola immediately replaced Su Dong with Aguero, for fear of accidentally injuring Su Dong.

Only 4 minutes into the game, Gareth Barry made a steal and then sent a wonderful pass. Aguero easily pushed and scored from seven meters in front of the goal, four to zero!
The Argentine striker once again played off the bench!
In the end, Manchester City beat Stoke City with four goals at home.

……

Entering the intensive Christmas Devil schedule, the performance of each team is also mixed.

Manchester City continues to lead the winning streak, and the winning streak has reached [-] rounds.

But Manchester United was a guest in London this time, beating Fulham [-]-[-].

Welbeck, Nani, Giggs, Rooney and Berbatov, five goals came from five players, which also made Ferguson very happy, saying that Manchester United is gradually recovering, and the offensive players are also beginning to find the feeling of scoring goals.

The ambitious godfather of Manchester United once again uttered harsh words to maintain a complete victory during Christmas and winter break!
Compared to Arsenal's difficult [-]-[-] away defeat to Aston Villa, Newcastle's [-]-[-] home loss to West Bromwich Albion, Liverpool's [-]-[-] draw away to Wigan Athletic, and Chelsea's [-]-[-] away draw against Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United's rout is indeed commendable.

Especially the performance of the young goalkeeper Lindegaard left a very deep impression on people, and there is a faint tendency to replace De Gea.

However, behind Manchester United's wild victory, the two teenagers, Morrison and Pogba, failed to get the chance to play, which also made them very dissatisfied. Morrison has made it clear that he wants to transfer, and Pogba also expressed his attitude through his agent.

The French genius will not renew his contract with Manchester United!
