Football: The king of midfield, Guardiola is crying with envy

But this obviously disappointed Falk.

The Germans thought about it for several days, but they didn't expect that the tactical arrangement against Chen Chen was not used at all.

Instead, Gundogan and B Seat's midfield attack combination!

There was no suspense in this game.

Jesus, who played as a right winger, assisted and scored twice, and Grealish scored with a long shot.

Ruben Dias and Laporte each scored a goal.

Then the second half changed sides.

Chen Chen, who came on as a substitute in the 75th minute, cut inside and caused the opponent to foul. Jesus scored a penalty kick and scored the fourth goal of the game!

In the stoppage time, De Bruyne, who came on as a substitute in the 84th minute, assisted Mahrez to push the ball from close range, and Norwich's defense for more than ten minutes was broken again!

5-0!

The Blue Moon won a big victory!

The best player of this game was Jesus, who scored 9.5 points with one goal and two assists, and Chen Chen came off the bench and got 7.9 points.

Fortunately, the system did not issue any tasks for this game, otherwise Chen Chen would have missed the task reward.

And with this big win, Manchester City also approached Arsenal with indescribable majesty!

So much so that after watching Manchester City's game, the Arsenal was very uncomfortable.

On the second day, that is, the day after Manchester City played Norwich, Arsenal's entire team was in a slump and lost to Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium!

They lost this red and blue London derby!

[Tactical victory! Arteta's coaching level is questionable, has Arsenal been scheduled for a three-game losing streak? ]

[Event preview: Manchester City won two consecutive games and won by 8 goals, Arsenal lost two consecutive games and lost by 4 goals! ]

[The worst start in 118 years! Among the 20 Premier League teams, only Arsenal and Norwich did not score a point or a goal! ]

[No idea about the worst start in 118 years? In 1903, the 29th year of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, the Second Boer War in England ended, and there were still 11 years before the First World War. ]

[The final league champion? It is uncertain who will be the league champion, but Arsenal has been eliminated first. ]

[Factory fans: Are you worthy of us? Houlixie! Give me back! ]

[UEFA Champions League Focus: Manchester City, Real Madrid, Liverpool and Bayern have the lowest odds of winning the Champions League. ]

[Departure! The coaches and captains of the major giants went to Turkey! ]

[......]

After easily winning two consecutive games, Guardiola and the team captain Fernandinho boarded a flight to Istanbul, Turkey.

The two will represent Manchester City in this year's Champions League draw ceremony and UEFA awards ceremony!

Every year, the Champions League draw ceremony is uncertain. For example, last year, that is, 20/21, the draw ceremony was held in the Swiss French Radio and Television studio in Geneva, and this year it was changed to be held in Türkiye.

After arriving in Turkey, Guardiola and Fernandez took a night's rest, and then attended the UEFA awards ceremony and draw ceremony the next night.

Regarding the UEFA Best Player award, there have been voices saying that it should be given to Chen Chen.

UEFA listened to all the voices, but in the end they chose to give the award to Jorginho, an Italian who won a year but lost the European Cup final!

Admittedly, Chen Chen performed very well in the European Cup.

But this award is more about the performance in the Champions League. Chen Chen was still playing in the English Championship last season!

Chen Chen has no opinion on this. Just follow the rules and be fair, just and open.

Just don't mess around with the "You can still win the Golden Ball after leaving the top five leagues".

After the Best Player award, other awards were also announced.

For example, Ruben Dias defeated Azpilicueta and Rudiger to win the Best Defender, and Chelsea's French midfielder Kante became the Best Midfielder.

Haaland is the best striker, while Merone and Lewandowski are all runners-up.

Of course, Haaland deserves it.

During his time in Dortmund, the Norwegian striker played 41 times, scored 41 goals and 10 assists, including 10 goals in 8 Champions League games, winning the Champions League top scorer.

Chelsea actually wanted to buy him, but the Norwegian asked for an annual salary of 50 million euros, and Abramovich had to give up even if he was rich.

UEFA attaches great importance to the performance of the head coach of the Champions League team. Even though Southgate led the team to win the European Cup, the best coach was still taken by the Champions League champion coach Tuchel.

However, UEFA still attaches importance to the European Cup.

For example, the UEFA President's Award was awarded to Danish captain Kjaer and the Danish medical team.

Because they snatched Eriksen back from the hands of the god of death!

The last award was the Champions League's best goalkeeper, and the winner was Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy.

Basically, the European Cup is awarded every year.The best goalkeeper of the Champions League is the goalkeeper of the Champions League champion team of that year.

Of course, there are exceptions. For example, the best goalkeeper of the 22-23 season was Courtois. Real Madrid did not enter the final that year, but his performance was indeed good.

In the 23/24 season, it was given to Dortmund goalkeeper Cober. This is a very consolation award because Dortmund did not win the Champions League.

After all these awards, the upcoming Champions League draw ceremony!

This year, UEFA made two changes.

One is to add the UEFA Champions League. Starting from the 21/22 season, the European war is a three-level event of the Champions League-Europa League-UEFA Champions League.

Another change is to cancel the away goal system!

This caused discussions among fans all over the world!

Why is the Champions League so good? It is because of the god-level rule of the away goal system!

In the end, you changed it yourself?

But looking back from a later perspective, this change is still okay, at least the weak team has more opportunities to shine.

For weak teams, if they stay calm and don't act recklessly, they can always move forward one step.

As the champion of the Premier League last season, Manchester City is naturally the first-tier seed team.

Along with them, there are last season's Champions League champion Chelsea, Europa League champion Villarreal, Ligue 1 champion Lille, Bundesliga champion Bayern, Serie A champion Inter Milan, La Liga champion Atletico Madrid, and Portuguese Super League champion Sporting CP, which ranks sixth in the European Cup coefficient.

Because Chelsea won the Champions League last season, UEFA invited Ivanovic and Essien, who helped Chelsea win the Champions League in the 2011/12 season, to be the guests of the lottery!

Soon, the draw began.

As the draw progressed, some people were happy and some were worried.

Manchester City's luck in the draw was pretty good. They were in Group A, facing Paris and Leipzig, and also a Belgian League team Brugge.

Atletico Madrid and Liverpool were assigned to Group B. Looks good, right?

As a result, AC Milan, a fourth-tier team, was sent over!

Just like Hungary was placed in the death group of Germany in the European Cup, it is still uncertain who will play in the Europa League in Group B of the Champions League, but Porto, in the third pot, seems to be scheduled to be the last...
