Messi was so scared that he cried when he maxed out his header talent at the start of the game

Chapter 656

The first round of the 2007-08 Premier League season has ended.

Manchester City, the treble winner of last season, directly took the top spot in the Premier League with 3 points and 4 goals.

Such a wonderful start.

It did not make Manchester City players slack off. Instead, under the leadership of Guardiola, all players were fully motivated and prepared for the second round.

On August 16, the second round of the new Premier League season arrived.

Manchester City played at home for the first time in the new season.

Facing Derby County Football Club.

In every season of the Premier League, under the promotion and relegation system, there is always a lack of new faces.

And many new faces are also old faces to some extent.

Founded in 1884, Derby County, as a founding member of the English Football League, is a typical representative.

During 1996-2002, Derby County was also a member of the Premier League. This season, Derby County returned to the Premier League after 5 years.

Their team logo is the most impressive one in all leagues in England.

A white goat.

In fact, the meaning of goat in England is not good, representing "improper man" and "bad guy". The reason is mainly from many English folk tales about the improper relationship between shepherds and goats....

But this has not prevented Derby County from being unique for more than a hundred years and insisting on using goats as the team logo, which has become a part of Derby County culture.

Of course.

Derby County said that the meaning of the team logo is never surrender and brave resistance.

......................................................

At three o'clock in the afternoon, in the home team locker room of the Hard Stadium in another place.

The players bowed their heads to change their equipment.

Prepare to participate in the appearance ceremony.

Su Fei silently took out the SuOne sneakers that Anta mailed to him.

To be honest.

A little excited.

Because today will be the first time for him to play in his own signature sneakers....

"Ouch!"

Knight screamed, causing the Manchester City players to look up.

"Wow, Su! Your shoes are quite handsome, one blue and one pink, and the colors of the left and right feet are different, which suits your sultry personality very well!"

"......"

Su Fei wanted to be low-key, but someone didn't allow it, and everyone's eyes fell on Su Fei's feet.

In those days, there was no such thing as different-colored sneakers, and they were basically Adidas and Nike.

The Anta icon on Su Fei's shoes was still unfamiliar to the players.

However.

There were also teammates who paid attention to Su Fei's signing with Anta in the summer and reacted quickly.

"Su! These are the signature sneakers that ANTA gave you, right? How do they compare to the Adidas you wore before?"

"ANTA?"

"You don't know this? Su Xiatian signed a sneaker endorsement! A Chinese sports brand."

"Signed sneakers?..."

"Yes! Look carefully, there is Su's signature on it!"

"SFly... So cool!!"

Every man will fall into the pursuit of shoes at some stage, not to mention professional football players who deal with football shoes every day.

Football shoes.

For players, they are the long guns in the hands of soldiers.

Many players came to watch Su Fei's signature sneakers, just like they were used to using M16 and suddenly saw an AK47.

Unstoppable freshness and curiosity.

"Ahem..."

Su Fei touched his nose and looked at the eagerness in his teammates' eyes. If he didn't show a little bit, it would be a bit unreasonable.

"It is indeed my signature sneaker. I have sent everyone's size to ANTA. After a while, I will send everyone a pair."

"Yeah!!"

"Nice!!"

"Haha, you still understand what we mean, Su!"

"How about you try it on for me now to feel it?"

"Haha, Antonio, I'm not laughing at you. Can your 1.75-meter-tall feet wear Su's 1.92-meter-tall shoes?"

Cassano heard James's sarcasm and corrected him with a serious expression.

"Note, it's not 1.75 meters, it's 1.76 meters. This summer, I grew another 1 centimeter taller!"

"Is there any difference?"

"Why not! Every 1 centimeter is very important for men, not just height..."

...................................................

The home team's locker room was very lively, while the away team's locker room was very tense before the upcoming battle.

The head coach Billy Davis, known as the "Angry Goat" by Derby County fans, was still repeatedly emphasizing the chicken soup that he had been nagging his players for several days.

The 43-year-old Scotsman made his debut in the Scottish Premier League Motherwell Club and helped Motherwell successfully avoid relegation in his first season.

Then he chose to go south to England to prove himself, and successfully led Derby County to the second place in the Championship last season.

In the new season, Billy Davis' goal is to lead the team to avoid relegation and continue to stay in the Premier League.

"Manchester City is very strong!"

"But we have proved in the opening match that we have the strength to compete with other Premier League teams!"

"Today is our first away game after returning to the Premier League!"

"You must be mentally prepared to face the boos of more than 50,000 Manchester City fans!"

"Don't let your legs go weak, boys!"

"This is a challenge!"

"The whole of England is watching every game of Manchester City!"

"That means!"

"Today we will also appear in the spotlight of the whole of England!"

"Challenges always come with opportunities!"

"This is the best way to show your sweat, your talent, and the best opportunity to the world!"

"You not only represent Derby County, but also represent yourselves!"

"Come on!"

"Let me feel the passion you are ready for!"

"The Rams!..."

"Must win!"

"The Rams! ......"

"Must win! !"

Billy Davis' speech successfully mobilized the fighting spirit of all Derby County players, and the shouts of the players rang out again and again in the away team's locker room.

Every player.

Seemed to have become an angry ram at this moment.

..........................................................

At the same time, at the commentary desk of Etihad Stadium, Wang Tao and Zhan Jun, two familiar old friends, were debugging the equipment.

The two seemed to be in a good mood.

Take time to chat.

"Tao'er, what do you think of today's game?"

"Teacher Zhan Jun, what's so good about Manchester City playing against a newly promoted team? Of course, it's another victory. The only highlight is how many goals they can win against Derby County."

"Haha, I think the same as you. They were able to score 4 goals with that defense against West Ham United last time. Let's guarantee 2 goals today."

"2? Teacher Zhan Jun, you are still too conservative. How about making a bet? Manchester City must score 3 goals against Derby County today, and it must be a clean sheet. Otherwise, I will..."

"So what?"

Wang Tao thought about it and decided to go big.

"Otherwise, I will take the signed jersey from the 05-06 season that Su Fei gave me as a prize and draw it in our live broadcast room!"
