Chapter 421 Wigan Athletic
The three-game losing streak made the Manchester City team up and down, and the atmosphere suddenly became bad.

The failure of one or two games was accidental, but the failure of three consecutive games always made people feel that there seemed to be something wrong with Manchester City.

In the past two or three years, Duncan has used continuous victories to strengthen his confidence, and failure is also inevitable.

When failure occurs, how to adjust is a more critical place.

In the league, Manchester City, with two wins and two losses, is also reflected in the rankings.

Their position in the standings has slipped further.

Ranked first is Chelsea. They have won all four games and scored [-] points, topping the list.After losing to Manchester City in the Community Shield, the Chelsea club's trend this season has been very good. Carlo Ancelotti seems to have completely controlled the Chelsea team.

Under such circumstances, the media is advocating the "Community Shield Curse", which means that the team that wins the Community Shield Cup will eventually lose the league championship.

And this "curse" basically comes true every time.

In addition to this, Arsenal ranked second in the standings. They also won all four games, but their goal difference is close behind.However, Arsenal's situation is very similar to last season. After the triumphant progress at the beginning of the season, people are still skeptical about their next performance.

At the beginning of the league, it relied on passion, but the 38 games throughout the year relied on the endurance and stability of the players.

Behind Chelsea and Arsenal, there are three teams tied for two wins and two draws: Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham.

Manchester City has two wins, two losses and six points, ranking No. 11 in the Premier League.

This result is really very bad. After four rounds, Manchester City is ranked in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League. This is a result that many people did not expect.

Before the season, many people who were optimistic about Manchester City did not expect that Manchester City's results this season would be so bad. This start is really worthy of the title of defending champion.

They believed that Manchester City should at least be able to rank in the top ten at the beginning of the league. They did not expect that Manchester City was even worse than they imagined!
There are many doubts, most of which come from the mediocre media.

"Talent is exhausted," is the new label given to Duncan by the English media.

Duncan just laughed it off. He shrugged to Jim Cassell, who was sitting across from the office: "The media always exaggerates, blowing a little thing up to the size of the Alps."

Jim Cassell didn't smile, but instead had a solemn expression: "As far as I know, not only the media, but even the fans have responded. According to the feedback from the local fans association, Manchester City fans, seeing This result is very bad mood. This is really different from what they imagined. If the team continues to lose, I am afraid something unexpected will happen."

Duncan is silent, he can ignore the media, but the fans are supporters of the team, and their voices must be heard.

"I think my players will definitely know the voice of the fans. They are already members of the championship and should know how to regulate themselves." Duncan broke the silence and said: "This is their proper attitude."

Of course, the players have their due attitude, and Duncan should also have his due attitude.

When resuming training, Duncan kept a cold face the whole time. Although he didn't say a word, that cold face almost made Manchester in early autumn shrouded in chill again.

This put Ferguson next door in a good mood.

Although Manchester United's results are not leading, they are at least higher than Manchester City, which makes Ferguson always have a sense of superiority in front of Duncan.

The league continues, and Manchester City's next opponent is Wigan Athletic.

This is a soft persimmon among soft persimmons. The relegation team among the relegation teams, Duncan's team, must get three points from them.

"This is the three points that must be achieved!" In the conference room before the game, Duncan issued a kill order to the whole team!
Facing the underdogs, Manchester City has no reason to back down, and there is no way out.

Behind is the abyss!

Last season, Wigan, a team with the second-to-last offensive power and terrible defense, was able to successfully avoid relegation and stay in the Premier League for 6 consecutive years. This is no small miracle.

The performance of Wigan Athletic also confirmed everyone's speculation.

In the first four games of the new season, Wigan only won one game, but conceded [-] goals. With such a performance, it seems that it is difficult to gain a foothold in the Premier League.

Therefore, although Manchester City performed poorly, in front of many mainstream media in England, they still believed that the strength of Wigan Athletic was much worse than that of Manchester City.

In this game, Duncan's Manchester City should be able to win.

This is an excellent pillow for Manchester City when they are dozing off.

Duncan is also very confident about this game. He believes that Manchester City will definitely beat Wigan Athletic. He believes in his players.

However, Jim Cassell is under a lot of pressure, because the team has lost three games in a row, and Manchester City really can't afford to lose.

Wigan Athletic is also a team in the Manchester region, in Wigan County, but few media hyped the concept of "derby" before the game.

With Manchester United in front, this kind of "derby" with disparity in strength seems to be meaningless.

Although Wigan's home stadium, DW Stadium, is not a devil's home stadium, the atmosphere at the scene is still very good. The fans of Wigan Athletic are very enthusiastic, and the atmosphere they create is very good, which makes Manchester City players feel the same There is a touch of pressure.

But the players of Manchester City are all riveting, the pressure of three consecutive defeats is too great, and they firmly believe that they can win.

Unfortunately, just after the start of the game, Wigan Athletic gave Manchester City a blow.

Wigan Athletic took the lead in the opening 3 minutes with their first shot!
Not long after the opening, a Wigan Athletic player crossed from the side and was blocked by Diego Silva out of the baseline. Wigan Athletic won a corner kick.

The player who took the penalty, Diame, was very smart. He chose to serve quickly, and the football flew into Manchester City's penalty area at an extremely fast speed.

In the penalty area at this time, the defense has not yet been arranged.

Toure in front of the penalty area, trying to pass the ball to clear the siege, was intercepted by Wigan Athletic Club's Thomas, and then he made a quick pass, waving past David Silva who rushed up, and then shot low with his left foot from the edge of the penalty area Enter the net in the lower right corner.

In front of the goal, Joe Hart reacted very quickly, but he failed to catch the football.

Because the ball hit a dead corner!
The fans of Wigan Athletic at the scene were very excited and excited. They are ahead of the mighty Manchester City. This is really very happy!

Because of the record, not many Manchester City fans came today, but all of them were diehards. They sang their team songs and cheered for their players!
Wigan lead 1:0.

For Wigan, this is a dream start!

However, what the fans of Wigan Athletic did not expect was that their start would be even more perfect.

Manchester City, who were behind, pressed up across the board, and their front line of defense gave Wigan Athletic a chance to fight back!

In the 7th minute, Wigan Athletic's striker Nzobia received a precise pass from the midfielder in the frontcourt. He then turned around to receive the ball and went straight.

There is only one Joel Luka in Manchester City's backcourt.
