Chapter 1066 Two Death Groups
In the end, Manchester City defeated Liverpool at home with the goals of Ibrahimovic, Rong Guang and Sneijder.

Liverpool failed to score a goal in the game, Dalglish suffered a two-game losing streak in the new season, and Manchester City stopped the decline with the victory of this game. At the same time, their ranking in the league also rose to fourth, behind Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United.

The media didn't know how to comment on Manchester City with such ups and downs.

If you want to say that they are in good form and are in full swing, they dare to draw with Tottenham Hotspur in the away game.

You have to say that they are in poor form and their future is worrying, and they dare to beat Liverpool by three goals at home.

On the second day after the game, the team trained as usual, and Rong Guang was in the same group as Sun Hai when the whole team was warming up before the training started.

Rong Guang, who was sinking his head and legs, suddenly said, "Thank you, Brother Sun."

Sun Hai was stunned for a moment, and then he understood why Rong Guang said that. He smiled: "That's all I can do for you. I think I've played for this team for such a long time, so this face should help to some extent, right?"

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

Sun Hai's heart felt hot when he heard the words, and he nodded vigorously: "Yes, everyone is very important!"

Three days later, Manchester City ushered in the third round of the league away. Their opponent was "Black Cat" Sunderland.

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

Sneijder and David Silva played all the way to the finals, which put a heavy burden on their physical fitness, and the two of them still seem a little tired until now.

These are all objective problems.

But Manchester City still beat Sunderland 2-0 away.

It was Rong Guang and Zlatan Ibrahimovic who scored the goals.

This time it was Rongguang who scored first, followed by Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The two of them are like a goal contest, if you score one, I have to follow suit.

The league played three rounds, and both of them scored two league goals.

If the Community Shield is counted, the two scored three goals each.

When the team's offensive system is not running very smoothly, relying on the personal abilities of the stars, Manchester City can still play some pleasing offensive coordination to create goals.

This is the benefit of stacking stars.

Rong Guang and Zlatan Ibrahimovic often have some impromptu cooperation, which makes Sunderland's defense miserable.

When Sneijder and David Silva were still on vacation, Rong Guang and Zlatan Ibrahimovic were the first to arrive at the team to start training. They have gone through a complete pre-season training camp, so in terms of tacit understanding, I am afraid that there is really no problem between the two...

And both of them are high-level players, and their thinking is surprisingly in sync.Ibrahimovic knows what Rongguang wants to do; Rongguang also knows what Ibrahimovic wants to do.Sometimes when Zlatan Ibrahimovic passes the ball with his heel, glory will definitely appear behind him.

Sometimes everyone thought that Rongguang would definitely break through forcibly, but Ibrahimovic ran into the space, and then Rongguang passed the ball.

It is difficult for the two of them to express this feeling clearly. They are not good friends and have never played together before, but they feel like old friends who have cooperated for many years.

This may be due to their high level of understanding of football...

This result surprised the media and found it unbelievable-they thought that the two of them would have given Benitez face if they did not fight directly on the court.Unexpectedly, now the two of them have the faint intention of becoming a "golden partner"!
This world has been bad since Zlatan Ibrahimovic decided to move to Manchester City!

Manchester City are still ranked fourth in the league after winning away at Sunderland.

The ranking of the top four in the league has not changed, it is still Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United and Manchester City.

The latter three have the same points, and the difference in seating is only due to the number of goals scored and the number of goal difference.

Manchester City and Chelsea did not concede a goal, but due to the instability of the team's overall state, they did not score many goals, only five, so they ranked behind Arsenal and Manchester United.

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

Bolton, Birmingham and Wolves all have five points, ranking fifth, sixth and seventh respectively.

However, the ranking at the beginning of the league does not mean anything.At this time, there are indeed many mid-lower teams rushing to the top of the standings. However, as the league advances, the comparison is the overall strength, the thickness of the bench, the flexibility of lineup adjustments, and the continuous performance of the players.At this time, the advantages of those giant teams are reflected.

After this round of the league, as usual, the UEFA Super Cup and UEFA Champions League group stage draws.

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

He also went with Sneijder, he is the best midfielder candidates.

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

After leaving the Champions League for a year and a half, Rongguang won the top scorer of the Champions League again in the first season of returning to the Champions League. Although Manchester City did not win the Champions League, no one criticized Rongguang or thought it was Rongguang's responsibility.In fact, their point of view is that Rong Guang's performance is good enough, and his elimination has nothing to do with him.

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

Who can get a top scorer every time they participate in the Champions League?
There has never been such a person. In the 55-year history of the Champions League, glory is No.1.

When Rongguang and Sneijder walked on the red carpet together, even the World Cup runner-up Sneijder, who performed well in the World Cup, became a green leaf of Rongguang. All the reporters' cameras were aimed at Rongguang, and the flashes were 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: "...all the European professional sports media present, and they pointed their cameras at Rong, which shows that in their minds, the stars of the Champions League are more worthy of their pursuit than the stars of the World Cup..."

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

He scored [-] goals in the UEFA Champions League last season. Although this number did not break his previous record of [-] goals, it has already surpassed the record of [-] goals set by AC Milan's legendary striker Altafini.

This alone shows how terrifying Rong Guang is...

Sneijder lost to Inter Milan's Deco in the best midfielder. After he came to Inter Milan from Chelsea, under the guidance of his mentor Mourinho, he rejuvenated the second spring of his career.He was a very important figure in helping Inter Milan win the Champions League.

He also won the best player in the Champions League.

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

Benitez has fewer votes than Mourinho, ranking second.

The UEFA Champions League draw will be followed by the UEFA Champions League awards ceremony.

Although Manchester City performed very well last season, they were constrained by the fact that they had no European experience in the previous seasons, so they did not have many points in the European war.This means that they are likely to be placed in the death group, with a strongest second-tier team.

But this time, no one will think that Manchester City is a soft persimmon that is easy 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. Manchester City is not a belly at all, but... Daozu!

Before the results of the draw were announced, everyone believed that if Real Madrid, the strongest second-tier team, and Manchester City, the strongest third-tier team, were assigned to a 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"!
Some reporters even speculated maliciously whether UEFA would put Real Madrid and Manchester City in a group again, so that the grievances between them would continue.

UEFA has done this before.Although UEFA has always insisted that their draw ceremony is very transparent and fair, but too many coincidences make everyone feel that UEFA's explanation is a fart.

But this time, UEFA played the old stalks in a new way. They did not draw Real Madrid and Manchester City into a group.

Real Madrid, as the second-tier team, was assigned to Group G, and AC Milan, which replaced Liverpool as the first-tier team, was assigned to a group, which means that this group will be the "group of death."

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

After all the second-tier teams have been drawn, it is the turn of the third-tier teams.

Manchester City was the first to be drawn out, and they were assigned to... the first group, Group A.

With defending champions Inter Milan and Werder Bremen!
The second group of death in this UEFA Champions League group stage was officially born!
