King of the start, I'm the new king of the Azzurri

The ball drew a perfect arc in the air, and Mertens, who took advantage of his position, ferried the header, and Naples' offensive center of gravity quickly shifted to the weak side.

The transfer of the ball did allow Manchester City's defense to quickly lean over.

Faced with such a situation, Insigne's continuous feints did attract Kyle Walker's attention.

Although Kyle Walker's center of gravity was deceived, his strong body control ability allowed him to once again seal Insigne's breakthrough route.

Kyle Walker is really reassuring enough on the defensive end.

In the confrontation just now, Kyle Walker once again restricted Naples' advancement. This result made the coach on the sidelines very satisfied.

Although the offensive ability of the full-back is not too important to Guardiola, but when your offense is not good and the defense frequently has problems, then this is a "burden" for the team!
And Kyle Walker's offensive ability is not top-notch, but his performance on the defensive end can make Manchester City feel relieved to put the burden of defense on him.

Naples' offense was blocked again, which gave Manchester City a chance to counterattack.

Kyle Walker crossed, and Manchester City's advancement spread quickly.

Fernandinho plays the ball forward.

Kevin De Bruyne retreated to catch the ball, turned around and advanced very quickly. What is more surprising is that Naples' pressing force is not strong, which is enough for De Bruyne to have enough time to observe the situation on the court. Condition.

Li Feng in the middle moved forward again, and the wingers on both wings were ready to go.

Taking advantage of the space forced by Li Feng, Kevin De Bruyne and David Silva hit the wall to cooperate. The latter even grabbed the step of the Naples player, and his through ball penetrated Naples. Midfield defense.

Li Feng stuck his back to the position, no matter how hard Coulibaly tried, Li Feng firmly occupied the position.

While preparing to catch the ball, Li Feng was also observing the position of his teammates.

Sane, who didn't stop the ball and split the side, went straight behind the defender and got a chance.

With consecutive fried meatballs, Sane tore open and shot from a small angle.

The opportunity to grasp is quite good.

But Reina, who played well in this game, continued his brilliant performance, and his shot was confiscated again.

Goal kick for Napoli.

Turning around and looking again, Naples' offense switched from the center to the side again.

Insigne receives a pass from his teammate and tries to trick Kyle Walker with a feint.

But what makes Naples feel the pressure is that Kyle Walker "doesn't believe" these at all.

On the contrary, Insigne's fake action gave Kyle Walker the opportunity to get close.

It is another familiar steal. Facing players with weaker confrontation ability, Kyle Walker is very good at using his physical advantage to squeeze the opponent, causing the opponent to make mistakes.

This is the case now, Insigne's mistake gave Manchester City a chance to advance quickly.

De Bruyne, who received the pass, encountered Hamsik's interception.

Successive escapes, Kevin De Bruyne's dribbling skills cost Hamsik.

"First yellow card of the game."

Judging from the position of Hamsik's foul, he is still far away from the goal. The only thing that makes Naples fans "regret" is that this foul caused Hamsik to get a yellow card.

It can be seen from this that the whistleblowing scale of this game is a bit "strict", which is not good news for Naples.

Set-pieces near midfield, chances look good, but it's not realistic to want to directly threaten the goal.

However, they can try a relatively suitable set-piece tactic.

De Bruyne adjusted the placement of the ball, and his eyes fell on Li Feng.

The quick free kick failed to grasp, so what they can do now is to make this opportunity a direct threat to the goal as much as possible.

"Push" on the ball with the inside of the right foot.

The football draws an "arc" in mid-air.

The players at the front of the penalty area began to show their skills.

Facing Li Feng's strength, Coulibaly maintained his aggressiveness, trying to block Li Feng's route.

When the confrontation really "come", Coulibaly still failed to stop Li Feng.

Li Feng carried Coulibali forward, such a confrontation was a big drain on physical fitness.

But the opportunity to score is right in front of him, Li Feng naturally wants to try, as for physical fitness?
That is the least "valuable" thing at this stage.

"Looking back at the moon!!!"

"GOALLLL!!!!!!"

"Li Feng's top of the ball was a clever move. The ball flew to the back point, and Reina couldn't catch it at all!"

"Before the end of the first half, Manchester City took the lead in rewriting the score with Li Feng's header. There is not much time left for Naples. Once it enters the second half, Guardiola may become more stubborn."

Before the end of the first half, Manchester City did rewrite the score.

But the 1-0 score does not necessarily allow Manchester City to easily secure the victory of the game, so at this time, players need to use their own defense to defend.

Naples kick off.

Being behind, they did not rush to advance, but slowly sorted out their offense near the center line.

Such a choice did not cause Sarri's mood swings, but there was one thing that Li Feng expected.

But in the end his choice was beyond Li Feng's idea.

Naples' final choice seems to be to drag the score into the second half to determine the final outcome.

Until the whistle sounded on the playing field, the players on both sides gave a sigh of relief.

The score of the game is also temporarily fixed at 1-0. Manchester City, who are playing at home, has taken a temporary lead. The specific situation still needs to wait for the final notice.

The arrival of the intermission also gave Manchester City fans a short time to relax.

For Manchester City fans, the first half was quite exciting, but they only led by one goal, which will inevitably make the competition in the second half more intense.

And this fierceness is an unstoppable thing, so the "rare" Manchester City fans began to "speak freely".

[Only leading by 1 goal, the advantage is really not big, but in terms of whether they can win the game, I believe Manchester City still has a great chance to win the game. 】

[As long as they win this game, Manchester City will have a considerable advantage in the subsequent schedule. 】

[Brothers in Naples, let's work hard in the second half. As one of the best teams in Serie A, we can't just lose face in the group stage! 】

[It's just the group stage, it's not enough, as long as you don't fail to qualify in the end, it's really embarrassing. 】

【.】

Although they are in the same group as Manchester City, when it comes to qualifying for the group stage, Naples still has a relatively good chance.

But it's just an opportunity!

The other two teams are Shakhtar Donetsk and Feyenoord. If one of them can pose a threat to Naples, there is only one possibility-Napoli loses against Shakhtar Donetsk. the match of.

This possibility exists.

That's why Sarri wants to let the team take points away from the Etihad Stadium!

Although it is difficult to get points from strong teams, this 1 point may change the situation on the court.

And now for Naples, they need to equalize the score as soon as possible, because they only have 45 minutes left!

Regarding the team's performance in the first half, Guardiola is quite satisfied, but the most important thing in the Champions League is stability!
After the "polishing" of the intermission, the game quickly resumed.

Laos' whistle sounded again, and for both teams, it was time for them to compete for scoring opportunities.

Manchester City kicked off at home, and their progress was very fast.

The ball was sorted out by De Bruyne, and they soon started the opportunity to directly threaten the goal from the winger.

Winger Sane once again got a chance to show himself.

Cycling continuously, Naples' full-back chose to "keep people but not the ball".

A simple foul made Sane lie on the ground obediently.

However, this also gave Manchester City a chance to take a free kick in the frontcourt, which is still relatively far from the goal. If you want to convert it into a goal, you need to look at the tacit understanding between the players.

David Silva's curveball streaks a "rainbow" through the air.

Still in front of the familiar restricted area, Coulibaly "gave it all" this time, and he failed again in the confrontation with Li Feng.

This time he grabbed Li Feng's arm, and the typical "one-for-one" operation caused Li Feng to fall to the ground.

At this time, Manchester City's players could not grab this point.

The ball was eventually cleared out of bounds by a Napoli player and Manchester City's corner kick.

The familiar corner kick came again. For Manchester City, this is an excellent opportunity for them to expand their score.

The "task" of taking the corner kick was once again handed over to Kevin De Bruyne, who has excellent footwork.

For De Bruyne, this is a kind of enjoyment.

The inside of the foot "pumped" the football hard.

An arc "flashed" in the air.

What followed was the sound of pulling out the syllable.

"GOALLLL!!!!!!"

"Manchester City seized the opportunity shortly after the start of the second half, but this time it was no longer a header, but David Silva from the back. The Spanish master helped Manchester City rewrite the score with his shooting skills."

"2-0, this is not good news for Naples players!"

Looking back, Manchester City's ability to seize opportunities is still excellent.

But if you want to grow into a world-class player, then the players need to plan their future well.

For Guardiola, the current situation has reached a stage where substitutions can be made.

In the end, Manchester City chose to replace Li Feng by Jesus in the 70th minute.

With Li Feng's departure, the situation on the field has also changed.

What made Guardiola more worried was that in the 90th minute of the game, Manchester City gave their opponents a chance.

The player who scored the ball was the Naples winger-Insigne!

Although the score was finally fixed at 2-1, the key players of the game also appeared at this time.

Li Feng, who scored 1 goal, has undoubtedly become the most popular player.

Perhaps the number of goals in this game has decreased, but Li Feng has become more team-based, which is not good news for other teams.

As Laos blew the whistle for the end of the game, Manchester City, who played at home, finally scored all 2 points with a 1-3 score.

For Guardiola, after this game, Manchester City can be regarded as having the initiative to qualify for the Champions League group stage.

[This nima is outrageous. Li Feng is still quite stable on the court. Why did he change it casually, and the situation on the court became like this. 】

[A lead of 2 goals, and finally because of a small mistake, Manchester City lost a goal.】

[Whether Li Feng is present or not, this team has two appearances. 】

[Fortunately, the game is won, 3 points in 9 games, then 3 to 4 points in the remaining group stage, then they can start their "transformation" steadily! 】

【.】

The game is over, but for Manchester City players, they need to take a good rest, after all, the next opponents will not be too easy.

For the following post-match interview session, Fernandinho, who served as the captain, went to accept the devastation again.

Although the next league is at home, it is still a bit difficult for Manchester City to take this opportunity to win with all their strength.

As for other situations, you need to see what other people think!

"Burnley's strength is really not too strong. I believe that the last half of the main lineup can still be done."

"."

Li Feng was a little surprised by this semi-main lineup.

"I won't arrange Li to play in the starting lineup. He looks a little tired. It's better to take a rest first!"

"There is no problem with this. Will he be included in the next roster?"

It was said that the assistant head coach kicked out a problem.

For Manchester City, the existence of Li Feng is a reliable answer for Manchester City's striker!

However, this answer needs to take into account the issue of physical fitness. After facing Burnley, Manchester City still needs to complete the Carabao Cup.

The rest time is very short, but it can be regarded as being stuck on the edge of the rules. The 48-hour rest time is not bad for professional athletes.

But continuous high-intensity and intensive combat is really demanding for players!

For the next 2 league games and 1 English League game, Guardiola has made adjustments.

However, this result also made the fans very satisfied.

Manchester City easily defeated Burnley 4-0 at home, and the subsequent Carabao Cup was also very easy. The rest is to have an opponent-West Brom.

In the end, they won the game 2-1 away, which also allowed Manchester City to temporarily secure the top position in the Premier League.

After 10 rounds of the league, the top of the Premier League standings:
1. Manchester City: 28 points;
2. Manchester United: 26 points;
3. Tottenham Hotspur: 20 points;
What is more surprising is that the point difference between the Manchester City duo is very small, and it is almost a game that can complete the reversal.

Before the Manchester Derby, Manchester City also needs to be a guest at Naples, and they need to beat this opponent from Serie A.

In the previous round, Manchester City defended their honor at home, so in the next away game, Manchester City will inevitably hand over the answer!

On November 11, Manchester City will be a guest at Naples. This is their second meeting in the Champions League group stage. Who can get 2 points? (end of this chapter)
