Chapter four hundred and thirty first team competition

The schedule of the weekly double matches will be held continuously after the first round of the Champions League starts. Manchester City will play the fifth round of the league with Fulham on the weekend.

And there will be a competition for the League Cup 16th final in the middle of next week.

Manchester City's opponent in the League Cup will be Birmingham City. Although the schedule is intensive, the opponent is not particularly difficult to deal with.

Xu Qi has been training very seriously these days. He hopes that he can maintain a better condition under a healthy condition.

In fact, he was in good shape in the Champions League. Although he did not help the team win, his entire condition has been in a relatively good stage, but he only spent too little time on the game.

Manchester City's substitutes are in good shape, Nasri, David Silva, Adam Johnson and Milner can all play Xu Qi's position, so Xu Qi has not shown his indispensable position now.

Many people hope that Xu Qi can perform well, but until now, Xu Qi has not fully demonstrated his outstanding abilities.

Craven Farm Stadium, the fifth round of the English Premier League was scheduled, and Manchester City, which won four consecutive games, will strive for their five consecutive league wins at this stadium.

Since Manchester United will have a big battle with Chelsea in this round later, Manchester United is likely to lose points, so this game can be regarded as a great opportunity for Manchester City to reach the top of the list.

In the battle with Fulham, Xu Qi got a starting chance again.

Fulham has not had a lifetime in four rounds of league games and is currently at the bottom of the standings. Manchester City, which has won four consecutive victories, will naturally not miss this opportunity to seize three-pointers.

The five consecutive wins seem to be waving to Manchester City.

However, the first goal in this game was Fulham who played at home, and Dembele scored.

Subsequently, Manchester City launched a fierce counterattack, and Xu Qi also showed excellent condition, not afraid of the opponent's fierce tackle.

It was Xu Qi's fearless breakthrough that directly tore open the solid defense of Fulham. Then Xu Qi cleaned the Fulham players from the left and nudged the middle to give Aguero a pretty delicious pancake.

Aguero bounced his right foot and sent the ball into the net, 1-1, and the score was tied.

Xu Qi gave another assist.

After Manchester City tied the score in the first half, he continued to strengthen his offense in the second half, and Xu Qi completely dominated the left side. However, the whole Manchester City team was not in good shape today, and they always faced some excellent opportunities to squander it, which also led to Manchester City not overtaking the score for a long time.

Until the 78th minute of the game, Xu Qi ran from the left to the right to assist David Silva in strengthening his attack. David Silva knocked the ball across the wing to Xu Qi. Xu Qi kept knocking the ball into the penalty area and sent a wonderful straight pass. David Silva had long understood the ability to counter-offside successfully. Then he crossed directly and fed Aguero a cake again.

This time, Aguero finally seized the opportunity and sent the ball into the net almost the same way as the first one.

Two to one, Manchester City overtook the score and Aguero scored twice, but this goal is still closely related to Xu Qi. His heel pass is the finishing touch of this goal.

Manchester City played a very exciting cooperation this time, which was called "Barcelona-style" cooperation in the narrator's terms. This is indeed a cooperation routine that Barcelona is very good at using, but this routine is not something other teams don't know, but they are not very good at using it.

When players like Xu Qi, David Silva, and Aguero with very delicate feet combined, they can naturally play such exquisite cooperation.

The three of them ran to the corner flag area and began to celebrate wildly. The goal came too soon.

However, this celebration was obviously a bit early, and Fulham did not give up.

Manchester City, which led the lead, is obviously a bit conservative. Mancini made the team focus on defense and wanted to defend the fruits of victory.

They almost defended to the end, but unfortunately, Danny Murphy completed a final kill!

Two to two draws.

Fulham not only equalized the score, but also did not leave much opportunity for Manchester City to continue to exceed the score, and the four consecutive victories ended.

With four wins and one draw in five league games, Manchester City is currently ranked first, but the match between Manchester United and Chelsea has not yet been held.

Although the record of four wins and one draw is good, it is still difficult to satisfy the fans.

After all, he was tied by Fulham, the last in the league, and was tied by the opponent's buzzer-beating goal when he was leading to the end. This naturally makes people feel unhappy.

Therefore, although Xu Qi performed well in this game, he still did not get high scores after the game and did not receive widespread recognition. After all, in many people's opinion, he should save the team alone.

Originally, there were still many fans looking forward to Manchester United losing points on Chelsea, but unfortunately, Chelsea lost to Manchester United one-to-three in this round, and they could only watch Manchester United complete the five-game winning streak!

In other words, Manchester City is two points behind Manchester United in the standings.

This also made Manchester City fans even more dissatisfied. They began to worry that they would not win the Premier League championship this season, and that would probably be crazy about the majority of Manchester United fans and even other fans.

It is really hard to accept that so much financial resources have been spent on the transfer market, but in the end, they still can't play Manchester United, which has hardly invested much in the summer.

Xu Qi did not play in the League Cup, and Tevez, Balotelli, Hargreaves, Milner, Bridge, Adam Johnson and other players who rarely have the chance to play in the league made their debut in the League Cup.

Although there are all substitutes, Manchester City is still stronger. After all, players such as Tevez are the absolute main players in any team, that is, at Manchester City, there are almost no chances to play now.

And this is also because there are some conflicts between Tevez and Mancini.

Manchester City won 2-0 in this game, with Balotelli and Hargreaves scoring.

Manchester City successfully reached the last 16 of the League Cup.

Next, Manchester City's opponent in the league is Everton. After Everton, they will set off to the Allianz Stadium in Munich, Germany to play a key second round of the Champions League group stage with Bayern Munich.

In this league game, Mancini first hid Xu Qi. Balotelli, who scored in the League Cup, got the chance to play, and Tevez was still sitting on the bench.

Balotelli, who had not been able to play in the league for a long time, performed well in this game, helping the team score the first goal, while Milner scored the second goal, and Manchester City defeated Everton 2-0.

Balotelli scored two consecutive goals, and was a great contributor to Manchester City's winning streak in a week's double game.

Although the genius Balotelli often does something incredible, his talent is indeed quite outstanding, and his existence has threatened Dzeko's main position.
