Chapter 176 The Premier League officially starts!
"Arsenal tried to set an offside trap but it was a good kick and the linesman didn't raise the flag!"
The guest commentators at the scene described Manchester City's attack very quickly.
"Aguero went into the box and Szczesny went out.
Aguero pushed the far corner, the ball hit the post and bounced into the net, 3:3, the score between the two teams was tied again! "
After seeing the ultra-long cooperation between Lin Quan and Aguero, the Manchester City fans at the scene stood up excitedly, their eyes fixed on Aguero who dribbled the ball and went straight to the opponent's goal.
It wasn't until the moment when Aguero seized the opportunity and scored the ball into the opponent's goal that they breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately afterwards, warm applause and cheers resounded throughout the Etihad Stadium.
For fans who bought tickets, this game is completely worth the price of the ticket.
Although this is just a friendly match, it is precisely because this is a friendly match that the tactics of the two teams are very aggressive.
The two teams played offensive football in the first half, you come and go, it's very lively.
Although the offensive in the second half was not as good as before, the two teams fought hard in the midfield, and the high-quality ultra-long-distance pass just sent by Lin Quan made the fans excited.
Perhaps they have to be grateful that this is a friendly match. The two teams were not affected by the league points, and they played such a high-quality game with a very relaxed mentality!
Once they enter the league and have concerns about scoring points, the tactics of the two teams will become conservative, and the football they play may become utilitarian. That kind of viewing may not be as high as a friendly match.
Although it's just a friendly match, winning or losing the game doesn't really matter.
But whether it is Arsenal or Manchester City, neither team wants to lose.
So, in the remaining time, the two teams tried their best to try to beat their opponents.
But they all seem to be out of luck.
In the 67th minute of the second half, Manchester City striker Aguero missed a one-handed opportunity.
On Arsenal's side, Giroud's header hit the crossbar and missed the chance to rewrite the score.
In the end, at the end of the game, neither team could rewrite the score. After 10 minutes, the two teams ended the friendly match with a score of 3:3.
After the game, Wenger took the initiative to walk to Pellegrini, hugged his opponent, and said to him:
"I really envy you have such a group of excellent players!"
Pellegrini also responded with a smile:
"Arsenal's talented group of geniuses is also enviable, and your status in the Arsenal team is not comparable to that of a coach like me!"
Wenger smiled and didn't answer.
He is different from a manager like Manuel Pellegrini, he belongs to the old school football manager.
His responsibilities at Arsenal are not just on-field coaching, he can also intervene in the team's operations.
But Pellegrini is different. Like other coaches in the five major leagues, his main responsibility is to lead the team in training and playing games. The team's football director is in charge of team operations.
So his authority is far less than that of Wenger.
The position of football manager is a product of the old era of the Premier League.
With Ferguson retiring, there are fewer and fewer coaches in the position.
Now the veritable football manager, I am afraid that Wenger is the only one left.
For a coach, they naturally hope that the more power in their hands, the better.
So football manager is a position they are very yearning for.
But for the club, they don't want a head coach to have too much power.
Especially in the current situation where teams are changing coaches more and more frequently, it is not a good thing for the club to give the head coach too much power.
So they will set up the position of football director, participate in team management, and take away part of the coach's authority.
This trend has become more and more obvious, and it is even irreversible.
Hearing Pellegrini's words, Wenger didn't know how to respond.
Even he himself feels that he is a remnant of the old era. Once he retires, the position of football manager is likely to disappear completely and become a historical term.
……
On the court, Cazorla walked up to Lin Quan and apologized to him:
"Sorry, Lin, I shoveled you several times while defending, don't take it to heart."
Lin Quan said with a smile:
"Okay, everyone is the master in the arena, if you show mercy, then you will be a little sorry for the salary you got!"
Cazorla nodded again and again, look at this layout, this mind!
No wonder coaches like Bosque and Wenger like Lin Quan so much!
His pattern is not something ordinary people can have.
"However, the two of us are also teammates of the national team. You hit me so hard, and my teammate feels very chilling!"
"Haha, that's easy to say. When we arrive in London another day, I'll treat you to hot pot. I know an authentic Chongqing hot pot restaurant. After eating it, I'm sure it will help you get rid of the cold!"
"That's about the same. Next time you come to Manchester City as a guest, I'll treat you to dinner!"
"Okay, it's a deal!"
……
After the warm-up match, Pellegrini gave the team a day off.
This is almost their last holiday before the start of the new Premier League season. When the new season starts, Manchester City will soon enter the fast lane.
On August 8, the Premier League officially kicked off.
In the opening game, Liverpool will sit at Anfield at home and face Stoke City, which ranked 13th in the Premier League last season.
Just hearing the names of the two teams, ordinary people may think that Liverpool has a great chance of winning.
But that's not necessarily the case.
In the past few seasons, Liverpool's record has not been very good.
Although they are one of the traditional giants of the Premier League, since Benitez left Liverpool, they have missed the Champions League for four consecutive seasons.
The record of the invincible Red Army in the Premier League and Champions League in the past few seasons is really appalling.
Liverpool, who played at home, played extremely dull in the first half. They seemed to want to attack, but the team could not find the direction to attack.
Suarez, who helped them conquer the city last season, was suspended by the FA for 10 games because of a biting incident at the end of last season.
This means that he will not be able to represent Liverpool in the first six games of this season.
Without Suarez, Liverpool's offense in the frontcourt was a mess.
This made the Red Army fans at Anfield very worried.
Liverpool's record in the opening games of the past four seasons is very bad, with two losses and two draws, and no wins.
They can't help but feel worried: Could it be that the team still can't win this year's opening game?
The fans of the Red Army couldn't accept such a cruel reality. They sang the famous team song "Never Walk Alone" loudly to cheer for the team with loud singing.
Accompanied by the singing of the fans, the Liverpool players seem to have found their status little by little.
In the 37th minute of the first half, Sturridge stood up. He received a pass from Aspens 22 meters away from the goal and scored the ball with a long shot. This was the first Premier League goal of the season. goal.
It was the only goal of the game.
In the end, with Sturridge's golden goal, the Red Army got rid of the bad luck for four consecutive years and finally won the opening game.
It is worth mentioning that this season the Premier League has introduced Hawkeye technology for the first time.
In the second half, Liverpool had a shot that hit the door frame and bounced on the goal line. After being confirmed by the on-site camera using eagle-eye technology, it was determined that the ball did not cross the goal line as a whole, so it was not regarded as a goal.
After the opener between Liverpool and Stoke City, the Premier League officially opened.
In the subsequent five games held at the same time, Arsenal, which had just finished their warm-up match with Manchester City, was the first to be upset.
They lost 1:3 at home to Aston Villa.
Arsenal lost this game unjustly. They scored the first goal in the 6th minute of the game.
As a result, two penalty kicks were awarded by the referee in the 21st and 61st minutes respectively.
If the first penalty kick was not controversial, then the No. 601 penalty was very controversial.
No.601 minutes, Aston Villa striker Abang Raho dribbled the ball into the penalty area and was tripped by Koscielny.
The slow motion showed that Koscielny was the player who stumbled after touching the ball first, which should be a beautiful tackle.
But the referee thought it was a foul, not only gave Koscielny a yellow card, but also gave Aston Villa the second penalty of the game.
Aston Villa's Benteke seized the opportunity and scored a penalty to help the team lead Arsenal 2:1.
Arsenal actually still have a chance at this time, with 30 minutes left in the game.
With their offensive strength, if they adjust their mentality, they have a chance to equalize or even reverse.
However, Arsenal's players are generally relatively young, and the mentality of young players is easily affected.
Especially Koscielny, who was misjudged, he could not accept the result that he was misjudged and caused the team to fall behind, and his mentality was obviously out of balance.
Wenger's lack of decisive adjustments on the spot was exposed. He knew that his central defender was in a bad mood, but he didn't make timely adjustments.
So, after only 5 minutes, Koscielny fouled again and was shown a second yellow card by the referee.
Two yellows turned into one red, Arsenal not only fell behind by one goal, but also lost one player.
In the 85th minute of the game, Aston Villa seized Arsenal's eagerness to attack and took advantage of a counterattack to score another goal.
Now, Arsenal is completely powerless.
This is the first time Arsenal have lost in the first round of the Premier League in nearly 13 seasons.
The gunner, who was extremely fierce at the beginning of each season, seems to have lost his magic this season.
Except for Arsenal's overturn, the games of other giants were uneventful.
Tottenham beat newly promoted Crystal Palace 1-0.
Chelsea beat Hull City 2-0 at home.
Another high-profile focus, Manchester United, defeated Swansea with a score of 4:1 in the first round.
This is Moyes' first game after taking over Manchester United. Manchester United's performance is considered to be a good answer for the time being.
However, the outside world still has doubts about whether Moyes can continue the dominance of Manchester United in the Ferguson era.
There are not many people who are optimistic that Moyes can continue the success of Manchester United in the past. Although Manchester United defeated Swansea, the opponent is not a giant.
To prove Manchester United's strength, he needs to show his strength in the strong dialogue.
Just in time, Manchester United will face Chelsea in the second round.
Moyes' coaching ability should be tested through this game.
……
The closing battle of the first round of the league was between Manchester City and Newcastle.
Due to the arrangement of the schedule, this game was 3 days later than the opening game.
So when the Manchester City game started, all the other teams in the Premier League were over.
All competitors who pay attention to Manchester City have enough time to go to the scene to observe and evaluate their competitive status.
This season, Manchester City has spent a lot of money in the transfer market, continuing the tradition of crazy buying in previous seasons.
In addition, they also signed a phenomenal player like Lin Quan, which made the outside world very curious about Manchester City's strength.
People can't wait to know, in addition to the traditional giants, whether Manchester City, a local tycoon, can transform from an upstart to a new Premier League giant like Chelsea did back then?
In this game, the Etihad Stadium was extremely lively.
City rivals Manchester United, BIG4 Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool all sent scouts to observe the game.
The fifth round of the league is about to stage a city derby with Manchester United, and even the head coach Moyes has personally dispatched.
For Moyes, Chelsea can accept a draw or even a loss.
Because Chelsea are strong, losing to them is not ashamed.
But Manchester City is different. This is a team that has been suppressed by Manchester United for decades.
Although they are now turning into phoenixes from native chickens, they have changed from a shabby household to gradually becoming a nouveau riche or even a wealthy family.
But after all, they were still one step away from becoming a wealthy family.
Therefore, Moyes' Manchester United must suppress them, and no one can lose to Manchester City.
If he loses to Manchester City, Manchester United fans are bound to criticize him.
The outside public opinion will have an infinitely negative evaluation of him, and his life at Manchester United will be very difficult!
Manchester City coach Manuel Pellegrini also paid special attention to this game.
He lined up what he thinks is Manchester City's strongest lineup to meet this game.
Manchester City's formation in this game is 442 parallel positions:
No. 1 goalkeeper Joe Hart; No. 5 right back Zabaleta, No. 4 center back Kompany, No. 6 center back Les Scott, No. 22 left back Clichy; No. 15 left forward Navas, 25 No. 42 midfielder Fernandinho, No. 21 midfielder Yaya Toure, No. 10 right forward David Silva; No. 16 Lin Quan, No. [-] - Aguero.
The two strikers Lin Quan and Aguero were at the forefront, but after the start of the game, Lin Quan retreated and became a shadow striker, but he assumed the responsibility of the midfielder.
The 442 formation is an ancient formation that Premier League teams like to use very much. This formation has a balanced offense and defense.
When defending, the four players in the midfield can retreat to shorten the distance between them and the back line, thereby compressing the opponent's offensive space, increasing the fault tolerance rate of one's own defense, and making it difficult for the opponent to penetrate their own defense line.
And when attacking, the two full-backs can become wingers at any time, assisting to form a connection with the two forwards in front, directly doubling the offensive personnel in the frontcourt, increasing the ball point and offensive surface, making the opponent hard to defend.
However, this formation also has a disadvantage, that is, the requirements for midfielders are very high.
It is difficult for players with relatively average abilities to maximize the advantages of this formation.
But for Manchester City, this problem does not exist at all.
Their midfield is luxurious enough, especially Navas and Silva on the two wings.
Their defensive ability may be a bit poor, but their offensive ability is definitely trustworthy!
At 18:00 in the evening, with the whistle of the referee, Manchester City's home game against Newcastle officially started.
Amidst the cheers and cheers from the audience, Manchester City's players began to attack their opponents from the first second of the game.
Newcastle didn't seem to realize that the opponent's offense would be so crazy. After the start, they were beaten back and forth, and there was danger in front of the goal.
In the first minute of the game, Manchester City completed the first shot.
Lin Quan received a pass from Silva who assisted him at the front of the penalty area. After shaking off the interference of the opponent's midfielder, he took a long shot from outside the penalty area.
The football was not held down, and it was slightly higher than the crossbar.
Although the goal was not scored, the fans at the scene still gave Lin Quan a warm applause.
The fans have obviously discovered that Lin Quan's desire to attack in this game is very strong.
This made them look forward to seeing Lin Quan's performance at the Etihad Stadium!
And Lin Quan obviously will not disappoint the fans. In the 6th minute of the game, Silva sent an assist after breaking through the wing.
After receiving the ball, Lin Quan didn't try to shoot long shots. Instead, after entering the penalty area, he smashed the ball continuously in a small area, changed directions, passed the opponent's two defenders, and then calmly lobbed, scoring his own goal in the Premier League. The first ball!
