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

Chapter 397

Blue sky, white clouds, bright sun, under the sky.

Manchester City's new and old players have assembled. Stewart stands in front of the team. Next to him are four new players who have joined Manchester City.

Cannavaro, Zambrotta, Bale, Podolski.

Bale and Podolski, as newcomers in the football world, came here on their own. Stars like Cannavaro and Zambrotta, who have been famous for a long time, were brought by Stewart himself.

After the simple self-introduction meeting.

Stewart also started his first speech before the start of this season. The old man's expression was very serious.

With new players, he has to establish a majestic image.

"Last season, we achieved the most brilliant success in Manchester City's history in decades, winning the Premier League and the FA Cup. We are the undisputed number one in the Premier League!"

"But last season's results have become a thing of the past. In the new season, the Premier League has welcomed new members of the newly promoted team. Some of our opponents have changed, and those original strong opponents have become stronger."

"Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and other Premier League teams have strengthened their team lineups this summer."

"So, if we can't make progress this season, if we stand still, we will be surpassed and defeated by them if we are not careful."

"The most important thing is."

"This season we will participate in the UEFA Champions League. In the Champions League, we will not face the Premier League, but the challenges of top giants from other top competitions around the world!"

"That will be even more In addition, we will also experience more densely in this season. "" At that time, we will not only test your strength at that time. At the same time, it also means that each of you must work hard. " "Let me see that you want to be for yourself, for Manchester City, and fight for the new season's high glory attitude!" Stewart spoke. After half an hour of warm-up.

An internal training match with a mix of new and old players is about to begin.

In the arrangement of the two teams, Stewart roughly revealed his preparation for the starting lineup for the new season.

Team A players.

Goalkeeper: James

Defenders: Gareth Bale, Cannavaro, Dunn, Zambrotta

Defensive midfielder: Javi Martinez

Double forwards: Modric, Knight

Three forwards: Cassano, Su Fei, Podolski

Team B is composed of other substitute rotation players.

Beep!

With the whistle of Oliver, who played the referee, the first internal training match representing Manchester City's new hope for the new season officially began!

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

At the same time, Manchester United's Carrington training base, not far from Manchester City's training base.

An internal training match was also taking place.

Cristiano, wearing the No. 7 Red Devils jersey, was performing a breakthrough on the wing.

High-speed dribbling, quick change of direction.

With a simple dribbling breakthrough, Cristiano passed two people in a row.

After rushing into the offensive third zone.

After cutting inside and breaking through the penalty area, he pulled the ball away from Carrick who was rushing to steal the ball, and shot the ball into the goal guarded by Van der Sar.

Van der Sar fell to the ground but missed the ball.

After getting up, he smiled and praised Cristiano.

"Christy, it's only been a summer, and your breakthrough and shooting have improved so much that I can't stop it at all."

The other Red Devils players also came over to praise him. The new Red Devils Carrick, who was shot in the face one-on-one, was also shocked.

When playing against Manchester United last season.

The breakthrough and shooting skills of this No. 7 are definitely not at this level.

Unexpectedly.

Now it has become so terrifying, and the pressure it brings to himself is like those top strikers in the Premier League!

Cristiano smiled confidently.

Accepting his teammates

Ferguson and his assistant Carlos Queiroz were watching the game on the sidelines.

Queiroz couldn't help but nod his head repeatedly.

"Boss, Christie's progress is so great that it makes me feel a little strange."

"Haha, Carlos. This is the importance of opponents..."

"What do you mean?"

"It is the pressure brought by Su that has allowed this child to grow far beyond our expectations. I think he can fully take on Van Nistelrooy's tactical vacancies in the new season, and even be better than Van Nistelrooy!"

The red-nosed old man's eyes were full of expectations.

Although he couldn't get Su Fei.

But Cristiano's current strength has reached a new height after the tempering of the World Cup.

With this child as the core of Manchester United in the new season.

The team may be able to usher in the next glorious period!

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

On the other side, London, Chelsea training base.

In the office.

The arrogant Portuguese is sorting out and studying the team tactics for the new season with Rui Faria.

Jose Mourinho frowned.

He was holding a cigarette, and the ashtray in front of him was full of cigarette butts.

Rui Faria hesitated for a long time before speaking.

"Boss... You didn't smoke before. Smoking so much at one time is not good for your health."

"I know."

Jose Mourinho put out the cigarette he had just taken a puff of, sighed deeply, and looked worried.

This is definitely a picture that the Premier League media can hardly imagine.

What happened.

Can the arrogant Portuguese be so worried?

The answer.

It's on the list of players in Jose Mourinho's hand.

It's about Chelsea's two most important signings in the summer, Shevchenko and Ballack.

In fact.

These two players are not the signings that Jose Mourinho likes.

The driving force behind it is none other than the boss who didn't care about anything in the past two years, Roman Abramovich!

I don't know what medicine Abramovich suddenly took.

Just at the beginning of the summer window.

Suddenly found me and said that I hope the team can play "beautiful football" like the La Liga giants Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​and let the team add more passing and cutting and technology to the style...

And.

He also named Shevchenko and Ballack in the transfer market.

This is why these two joined Chelsea this summer.

After repeatedly studying the technical styles of the two, Jose Mourinho always found it difficult to find a suitable position and tactics for the two in the team.

But.

As a star appointed by the boss, it is impossible to keep him on the bench without using him, right?

Chelsea is Abramovich's team after all.

Mourinho is very clear about this.

And the double defeat in the league and the Champions League last season also made it difficult for Mourinho to take the initiative to talk to Abramovich.

This matter.

I can only follow the boss and force the two to be included in the starting rotation list and force a change in tactics.

As for the effect.

Soon, in the Community Shield vs. Manchester City match two weeks later, it will be shown.

That day, the owner Abramovich will also be present to watch Chelsea's first game of the season.

"Ruy... I have a strong feeling... on the 15th, we will lose badly."

"Huh?"
