Chapter 159
On the training ground, Zhang Chaoqiang is doing speed training.

Resistance parachute training, agile ladder training, multi-directional variable speed training.

The exclusive trainer Andre Fournier formulated a series of training plans for Zhang Chaoqiang, all of which helped him improve his speed and explosiveness on the court.

However, the training has only just started for a few days, and the actual effect has not been seen yet.

On the sidelines, fitness coach Buenaventura closely watched everything on the field.

As Zhang Chaoqiang's role in the team became more and more obvious, the Manchester City coaching staff also intervened in Zhang Chaoqiang's daily training.

His training must match the team's schedule and requires a certain amount of communication and negotiation.

For example, now that Guardiola has brought a substitute lineup to the away game of the English League Cup, Zhang Chaoqiang is not in the game plan, so he has time to train alone.

After a set of training, Zhang Chaoqiang went to the sidelines to rest and drink water, and found that there was suddenly one more person.

"Kevin, are you here to train too?"

"Well, keep it up."

The person who came was De Bruyne, wearing training clothes, slowly bouncing the ball on the sidelines.

Seeing that the opponent seemed to want to practice long-range shooting alone, Zhang Chaoqiang suggested: "Let's compare later."

"Okay." The other party readily agreed.

On September 9, the English League Cup round of 21 match day, Manchester City challenged Swansea away.

Guardiola basically took a full bench to the away game.

In the end, with the goals of Gal Clichy and Alex Garcia, Manchester City defeated Swansea 2:1 away and advanced smoothly.

Then the English League Cup round of [-] draws, Manchester City drew the same city rival Manchester United, and played away.

Another city derby is scheduled.

However, Guardiola has expressed his position in the team. Even in the face of Manchester United, the team still insists on sending a substitute lineup to play.

After all, it is the English League Cup, so it is not worth paying too much.

On September 9, in the sixth round of the Premier League, Manchester City once again came to Wales away to challenge Swansea again.

Although Wales has its own professional football league, the two strongest professional teams in Wales, Swansea and Cardiff City, both participate in the English professional league.

Because the level of the Welsh league is too low.

Within a week, Manchester City will have two consecutive games against Swansea, and this schedule is enough.

However, in the mid-week game, Manchester City played from the bench, and winning or losing is acceptable.

But now in the weekend league, Manchester City is playing with all the main players, and there is no room for loss.

Swansea currently has Korean player Ki Sung-yong in the team, so this is an East Asian derby.

However, in terms of personal ability and attention, there is a big gap between the two.

The so-called East Asian Derby is simply not worthy of the name.

Only the South Korean media was more excited, saying that this is just an outpost, and the next round will be the real Asian derby.

In the next round, Manchester City will go away to challenge Tottenham.

Zhang Chaoqiang and Sun Xingmin face off directly, and that is the real East Asian derby.

In the Premier League this season, there are five East Asian players who have been given the chance to play.

In addition to Zhang Chaoqiang, there are Tottenham's Sun Xingmin, Swansea's Kiseiyuki, Leicester City's Shinji Okazaki, Southampton's Maya Yoshida and others.

But in terms of matching each other, only Sun Xingmin can barely keep up with Zhang Chaoqiang.

At least they all play for strong teams, and they are all key players in the team.

But that will have to wait for the next round of the Premier League.

At the Swansea Liberty Stadium, Zhang Chaoqiang, Aguero and Sterling scored goals respectively. Manchester City relied on the striker trident to score 3:1 and continue the Premier League winning streak.

Aguero was previously banned by the FA for three games, but the Premier League's ban rule is to ban all domestic games.

So after two Premier League games and one Carabao Cup, Aguero successfully lifted his ban and returned.

As for Ji Chengyong, that guy never met Zhang Chaoqiang at all.

Manchester City confirmed the three-goal lead early, and Zhang Chaoqiang left the game early to rest.

The Koreans got the opportunity to come off the bench in the last 10 minutes.

In the other rounds of the league, five of the Premier League's top six teams won, and only Chelsea suffered heavily. They lost 0:3 away to Arsenal in the London derby.

In addition, Everton lost 0:1 away to Bournemouth.

So in the standings, Manchester City continues to lead with 18 points, followed by Tottenham with 14 points, Arsenal, Liverpool, Everton with 13 points, Manchester United with 12 points, and Chelsea with 10 points.

According to the standings situation, the next round will not only be the East Asian Derby, but also a direct contest between No.1 and No.2.

By the way, Sun Xingmin scored twice again when Tottenham defeated Middlesbrough 2:1 in this round.

In the Premier League match in September, Sun Xingmin contributed 4 goals and 1 assist to help Tottenham maintain a complete victory.

Therefore, according to many media analysis, the best month of the Premier League in September is likely to fall to the Koreans.

Zhang Chaoqiang had won the best of the month in August before. If Sun Xingmin wins the best of the month in September, it will be two consecutive months for Asian players to win the best of the month in the Premier League.

Chinese fans were also amazed at Sun Xingmin's performance, exclaiming: "The attacking grandson!"

Invisibly, the heat of the Asian Derby is gradually heating up.

In addition, in the Premier League scorer list, Sun Xingmin also climbed to a higher position with four goals.

Zhang Chaoqiang currently ranks first with 7 goals, and Diego Costa ranks second with 5 goals.

Then came the players who tied for 4 goals, including Sun Xingmin, Lukaku, Sanchez, Ibrahimovic and others.

"Manchester City's trident shows off, Blue Moon continues to lead the Premier League standings"

"Melon-style Manchester City's nine-game winning streak, who can stop them?" "

"The 3G Combination Kills Quartet, Can It Be Comparable to BBC and MSN? "

With Manchester City's consecutive wins, the popularity of the 3G combination is increasing day by day.

Many English media have begun to compare them to Real Madrid's BBC and Barcelona's MSN.

This is more or less the meaning of touching porcelain.

Both BBC and MSN have led the team to win the UEFA Champions League. The Manchester City Trident has just been formed and only played a few good games.

In China, fans also discussed this matter with seriousness.

"It's completely self-deprecating to say that they are shoulder to shoulder. The three-gold combination is at best the strongest in the Premier League."

"Even the Premier League is not necessarily the strongest. They have defeated a Manchester United team at present, and it is a Manchester United team that is rebuilding. It is not convincing enough."

"The next round against Tottenham can be regarded as a small test."

"There is also the UEFA Champions League. In the group stage, we will play two consecutive Barcelona games. Then we will collide with MSN and see how good it is."

"The real test will be in the knockout stages of the Champions League."

"At least until the official summit of the Champions League, it is difficult to say that they are comparable."

"It's really not comparable, but they do have the potential."

"That's right. After all, all three were once European golden boys, so the talent is there."

"The BBC is centered on Ronaldo, MSN is centered on Messi, and the three-gold combination is centered on Qiangzi. This is not a good fit."

"Whether we can really achieve some results this season is quite critical."

"How to say?"

"Think about it, both the BBC and MSN successfully won the UEFA Champions League in the first year of their establishment. If they fail to win the first year, they will feel a little discouraged and become more difficult in the future."

"It's a bit absolute to win the Champions League, but at least you should get to the final, and by the way, win the Premier League title as a guarantee, that would be decent."
