What happened after being sold to Inter Milan by Barcelona

Chapter 194 The opening game of the Premier League begins, and if the sky is affectionate, the sky will also grow old.
October 2012, 8!
There are less than 2 days left until the Premier League opener!

The flight full of Southampton players finally landed slowly at Manchester International Airport.

The first person to step out of the plane was Pochettino, the current head coach of Southampton.

40 years old!
As a head coach, Pochettino can be said to be the youngest among all Premier League head coaches today.

However, although Pochettino is not very old, the middle-aged man who looks high-spirited in front of him has sent Southampton to the English League One team in just 2 years. Premier League!
triple jump!
This is the change that Pochettino brought to Southampton, especially the Southampton Youth Storm he built with young player Adam Lallana as the core. It can be said that it is the most anticipated newly promoted team in the entire Premier League today. .

There are rumors that Liverpool have begun to investigate Adam Lallana!
"Mr. Pochettino, Mr. Pochettino! Will you face Manchester City in your Premier League debut? Will this make your players feel pressure?"

Once you arrive at the exit!

The reporters who had been waiting there eagerly began to interview Pochettino.

Ok!

Upon hearing this question, Pochettino, who had no intention of accepting an interview, stopped.

"Pressure? There is no pressure! As a newly promoted team, we are facing last season's Premier League champion. I think under this comparison of strength, the one who is under pressure should be Manchester City!"

Got it!
The reporter who was interviewing was a little confused when he heard Pochettino's reply.

Should it be Manchester City who is under pressure?
But after thinking about it carefully, the reporter seemed to think that what Pochettino said made sense.

This season, Manchester City spent more than [-] million to buy Demon Su.

Moreover, the eyes of the world are now focused on Manchester City.

Against a newly promoted team, it seems that the one who should be under pressure is Manchester City.

"Okay, Mr. Pochettino, in the Community Shield not long ago, Manchester City almost massacred Chelsea, and this game also made all Premier League teams realize that even the five defenders cannot limit Su Qin now. So do you think your team can limit Su Qin?"

Journalists know what fans like these days!
No one cares whether Manchester City can win. Everyone just wants to know whether Su Qin, who is invincible in La Liga, will be as invincible in the Premier League!

And this person in front of me!
But it was because of the strongest defensive counterattack in the entire English Championship that they were promoted to the Premier League!
"Restrict Su Qin? What are you thinking? Chelsea and Barcelona can't restrict Su. How can we, Southampton, restrict Su? In this game, we came to Manchester with a learning attitude!"

After that, Pochettino gave the reporter a smile, then turned and left.

"Pochettino's study trip to Manchester!"Demon Su is irresistible? 》

"The countdown to the Demon's Premier League debut is 2 days away, and the Demon's new journey, which has conquered Serie A and La Liga, begins!" 》

"Taylor Swift's personal doctor revealed that Taylor Swift may retire from the music industry for a year!" 》

"A large number of Chinese fans flocked to Manchester, and it was hard to get a ticket at the Etihad Stadium!" 》

Yes!

As Suqin's debut at the Etihad Stadium approaches!
Manchester City tickets, which were originally considered normal, suddenly became higher with the help of countless Chinese fans.

From the initial price of a few dozen euros, it has now increased tenfold, and at this price, it is still hard to get a ticket!
8 Month 23 Day!
Pochettino led the team to the Etihad Stadium very early.

However, what disappointed the reporters was that the Southampton coach, who had been chatting and laughing with them before, seemed to be a different person on this day!
Not only was Southampton not allowed to practice on the field, but the entire team was also given a hush-hush order!

Well, for journalists, the more Southampton does this, the more curious they become.

In the eyes of reporters, Southampton, as the newly promoted team, came to give points to Manchester City in their first show of the season.

Now that the game is about to start, Southampton, as a fisherman, seems to want to resist?
This afternoon!

After the reporters searched for Pochettino to no avail, they could only gather around Mancini who had just finished training.

Unlike Pochettino, Mancini, with a relaxed look on his face, straightforwardly told reporters Manchester City's goals and tasks for this game!
"Winning is the most basic thing. In this game, I want to show everyone a brand new Manchester City! A Manchester City that satisfies all fans!"

Very confident!
There is no way. During this period of training, Mancini has been driven crazy by the surprises brought by Su Qin.

In the past, everyone knew that Su Qin could be said to be the pinnacle center in world football. His only shortcoming was his speed.

But, who would have thought of it!
After the demon was seriously injured, the demon actually improved his speed by hiring a professional sprint coach.

One high and one fast, this was the initial configuration Mancini set for Su Qin and Aguero!
However, that was before. Now, Mancini has decided to let Aguero pick up the slack behind Su Qin.

Yes, Aguero, the football king's son-in-law who was coveted by the whole of England, actually became a dispensable forward in Mancini's hands.

But, even so!
Aguero, who was assigned to this position by Mancini, has no complaints!

As for the reason?

Naturally, Lao Gui has already experienced what it means to be happy during training.

October 2012, 8!
The much-anticipated 2012-2013 Premier League has officially begun.

Five o'clock that afternoon!
Less than 2 hours before the official start of the game, the bus full of Manchester City stars finally slowly drove into the inner passage of Etihad Square!

Although the local department in Manchester arranged countless security personnel here early to maintain order!

But when the bus pulled into Etihad Square!

The whole scene was still out of control.

countless!

Yes, the endless blue crowd was like a wave, swarming around the bus the moment it appeared.

The road is blocked!

And those crazy Manchester City fans gathered around the bus and shouted Su Qin's name over and over again!

"Su Qin!"

"Su Qin!!"

"Su Qin!!!"

Not just English!
Croatian!
Chinese!

Everyone only called Su Qin's name.

Crazy!

And it’s still the ultimate madness!
this moment!
Even Su Qin's Manchester City teammates on the bus were frightened by the madness of these fans.

"Hey! Su, you guy!"

Aguero opened his mouth and sighed as he looked out the window at the Su Qin fans holding Su Qin's photos high!
However, compared to Aguero’s sigh!
Mancini, sitting in the front row, looked delighted!

Yes, Old Man made the right bet. As early as noon, the staff at the Etihad Stadium said that the number of fans in the square today had already exceeded the reception capacity of the square and the stadium.

Therefore, Lao Man directly decided to come here two hours in advance.

This is not!

If I really followed my previous habit of delaying a novel.

It is not certain that Manchester City will be the first Premier League team to be defeated due to too many fans, resulting in the team being unable to enter the stadium.

However, what Mancini didn't expect was that he was more than an hour ahead of schedule.

It took them almost an hour and a half to complete this short few hundred meters with the desperate help of the security personnel.

After the bus finally stopped in the underground parking lot of the stadium, Mancini immediately rushed to the pre-match press conference.

Sure enough, when Old Man arrived, Pochettino was already waiting and almost got up and left!

No nutritious press conference.

Of course, this is for Mancini.

Nowadays, Mancini, to be honest, only Wenger and Ferguson can be regarded as his opponents.

A little-known Pochettino has no way of catching Mancini's eyes!
However, what Mancini may never know in his life is that in the original time and space, it was Pochettino who led him to lead the defending champion and suffered a defeat in the opening game of the league!
It was in that game that Pochettino proved his ability to the world!
Inside the Manchester City dressing room!

Lao Man, who came back from the press conference, did not shout any bloody speech.

He simply elaborated on a few issues regarding the team's tactics, and then let the whole team rest.

And the other side!
The visiting team's locker room.

Pochettino is telling his youth army members passionately and impassionedly what this game means to them!
"do you know?"

"The eyes of the whole world will be focused here at this moment!"

"This is the Etihad Stadium!"

"The owner here is called Manchester City."

"And, today, here will be the Premier League debut of Su Qin, the world's number one star."

"I believe that no one, no big team will ignore this game."

"They are all looking forward to that Demon Su, who will give us a scoring performance for the world!"

"Yes!"

"We are a group of people who have no sense of existence in their eyes!"

“They don’t even know the full name of our team!”

"but!"

"It's today!"

"I want you to tell them all with your performance on the pitch, at the Etihad Stadium!"

"You are Southampton kids!"

"You are Southampton heroes!"

"You guys have to remember!"

"You are not fighting alone!"

"I and the more than 5000 Southampton fans in the stands will always be with you!"

Don't say it!
The young Pochettino relied on this almost hypnotic chicken blood package to lead this group of young people with an average age of less than 25 years old all the way from the English League to the Premier League.

Moreover, during this period, Pochettino has been studying the tactics for this first show with Manchester City!
He thought about a back five, or even a back six.

But in the end he gave up.

He knows he doesn't have John Terry in his backline, nor does he have one of the Premier League's top defenders like David Luiz.

If he sticks to it, his team will only suffer the same fate as Chelsea!

Since there is no hope in holding on, we might as well give up.

Yes, Pochettino is such a crazy person!
And it seems that it is this kind of madness that makes the young people in Southampton have red eyes, like bloodthirsty wolves!
"Zhuang Pai Ertai!!!"

"Zhuang Pai Ertai!!!"

"Here is the first round of the 2012-2013 English Premier League broadcast live for you!"

"Manchester City VS newly promoted Southampton!" "I am your old friend Huang Jianxiang!"

"I'm Zhan Jun!"

"After the players from both teams finished the pre-match ceremony, the game is about to begin."

"Of course, as before, before the game officially starts, please edit the text message to support your favorite team!"

"If you like Manchester City, send it."

In the commentary box at the Etihad Stadium.

Lao Huang and Zhan Jun began to read the pre-match advertisement, and at this time on the court.

All the Manchester City fans began to sing the Manchester City team anthem.

at last!

There were only a few seconds left on the big screen on the field.

The referee put the whistle in his hand into his mouth!

"Beep!!!"

"Accompanied by the referee's whistle!"

"The game has officially begun!"

"The first is the starting list of both sides!"

"Manchester City starting goalkeeper in traditional blue shirt attacking from left to right: Joe Hart!"

"."

"Facing the newly promoted team, Mancini deployed the 4-4-2 formation that Manchester City used most last season!"

"However, compared to Manchester City's starting lineup and formation that everyone is familiar with!"

"Southampton on the other side is a bit surprising."

"Yes!"

"When facing a powerful opponent like Manchester City, the young Southampton coach Pochettino actually arranged a 4-3-3 that no one expected!"

"Starting goalkeeper: Kevin Davis!"

"Left back: Frazier Richardson!"

"Center defender: Daniel Harding, who is 1.9 meters tall, partners with Aaron Martin!"

"Right back: José Fondi!"

"Midfield three: Richard Chapleau, Lallana, Steve de Ridder!"

"Three forwards: Lee Barnard, David Connolly, Ryan Dubow!"

"You read that right!"

"Facing Manchester City, Pochettino came here purely to fight against Manchester City!"

At the Etihad Stadium!
When Mancini saw Pochettino's formation, he was really frightened by Pochettino's courage.

He really didn't expect that Southampton, as a newly promoted team, would dare to play against him at the Etihad Stadium.

However, surprises are surprises!

The old Manchester United didn't worry at all that his team would suffer any losses in the confrontation.

Just like on the court at this time!

Manchester City, who took the first possession of the ball, rushed towards Southampton's backcourt as soon as the game whistle sounded.

Just like in training!
Manchester City's attack was launched directly from the wing without any sloppiness.

Nasri, who has lost a little weight these days, dashes wildly along the left wing.

However, Nasri's Southampton winger Ryan Dubao has been following Nasri since he started.

Although Nasri's speed can be said to be in the first echelon of the Premier League, Southampton's Ryan Dubow also used his speed to smash the defenses of all English Championship teams. existence.

Coupled with the help of midfielder Steve de Ridder!
Not long after the rush, Nasri was intercepted on the left side of Southampton.

However, Nasri is Nasri after all. Even if the two of them are surrounded, Nasri still relies on his constantly changing feet to firmly control the ball at his feet!

After Aguero came to respond, Nasri took advantage of the situation and made a diagonal kick, then sent the ball from the gap to Aguero's feet.

Just catch the ball and turn around with a touch!
As the former King of Manchester City, Aguero showed off his unparalleled sense of ball in front of tens of thousands of Manchester City fans!
However, Lao Gui didn't wait for a passionate one-stop goal.

Lallana, who had been ambushing Lao Gui for a long time, rushed over and roughly knocked Aguero to the turf!

The referee, who was very close at hand, didn’t say anything!

Lallana, who successfully intercepted the ball from Aguero, immediately turned around and Southampton's counterattack came.

this moment!
Lee Barnard on the left!
Ryan Dubao on the right has already rushed towards Manchester City's backcourt like an arrow.

David Connolly, who was originally at the front in the middle, was running back strangely.

Lallana did not hesitate. After seeing David Connolly's retreat, he immediately sent the ball through the ball to David Connolly's feet accurately.

Same thing, the moment you catch the ball!

David Connolly also kicked the ball quickly, sending the ball to the feet of Lee Barnard on the left who had already shaken off David Silva!
Richards pounced on him, but unfortunately before he could get close, Lee Barnard handed the ball over again.

Adam Lallana!
This young midfielder who is only 24 years old finally got the final chance in his own counterattack!

Midway!

David Connolly helped Lallana pull away from Lescott.

In this basically stress-free state!

Adam Lallana, who brought the ball to the top of the arc of Manchester City's penalty area, directly raised his right foot and blasted the ball away.

One shot!
The football instantly shot up from the ground and headed towards Manchester City's goal.

However, what made Adam Lallana a little uncomfortable was that after his shot finally went out, he realized that he seemed to be pursuing power too much, so he didn't hit the angle.

Joe Hart, who has excellent positioning in front of the goal, only needs to stretch out his hand to block the ball.

Adam Lallana regretted his shot.

However, his regret did not last long.

Because it's right in front of him!

That Manchester City goalkeeper!

Joe Hart, who is hailed as the strongest goalkeeper in the history of Manchester City, actually gave himself a gift he had dreamed of!
It was obvious that he could hit the ball with a single punch, but who would have thought that Joe Hart would choose to pounce with both hands by some strange coincidence.

With this one pounce, Joe Hart, who seemed to be possessed by butter hands, watched helplessly as the football passed between his hands.

"Beep!!!"

The referee's whistle sounded, and at the same time, indicating that the goal was valid, one hand pointed to the center circle!
"boom!!!"

The visiting team fans are in a rage!
Not just fans.

Everyone on the Southampton bench, including coach Pochettino in front of the bench, jumped up with excitement.

"oops!"

"The goal is scored!"

"Jo Hart's mistake!"

"A huge, huge, huge mistake!"

"Joe Hart actually missed the ball between his hands!"

"Although this long-range shot looks very powerful, it has no angle at all!"

"I believe that even if Joe Hart didn't move just now, he could have blocked the ball with his fist!"

"This goal was scored!"

"0:1!"

"Just when everyone thought that Manchester City would massacre the newly promoted Southampton at their home court, last season's English Championship champion Southampton woke everyone up with a loud slap in the face!"

"This is the Premier League!"

"This is the Premier League where there are no weak teams!"

"Even if it's a newly promoted team!"

"They also have the possibility to defeat all opponents!!"

Seeing that Manchester City actually lost the ball first, Zhan Jun naturally sighed.
-
[Haha, this goal was scored. Haha, I laughed so hard. I just said that the biggest hidden danger in Manchester City’s current lineup is the goalkeeper position! 】
-
[It’s true that the saying goes that if the sky is affectionate, the sky will also grow old. If you meet Hartmon, you will kick it! 】
-
[Damn, I’m laughing so hard. It’s always my Hart who gets hurt! 】
-
[Not only is the sky affectionate, but the sky is also old. In fact, the reality is that we don’t know the true face of Mount Lu, and Hart is the background! 】
-
[Haha, also, there is always love through thousands of rivers and mountains, just see Hart cum! 】
-
[Hey, Hart is really miserable, this fucking opening only lasts 2 minutes!Southampton was fooled by such a kick! 】
-
[Actually, except for the quality of this shot, it’s not very good. Didn’t you see it?Southampton's counterattack just now was indeed clean and neat! 】
-
[Nonsense, last season’s English Championship champions, Southampton, relied on this smooth counterattack to break into the Premier League! 】

on the field!
All the Southampton players were celebrating wildly.

Joe Hart, who was serving as the background, sighed with his hands on his hips with a speechless expression.

Seeing how pitiful his goalkeeper was, Kompany, as the captain, could only walk over and pat Hart on the shoulder to comfort him out of habit.

of course!

Just over a minute has passed in the game. For the stars of Manchester City, they have no pressure at all because they were scored by Southampton.

It’s not just the players!

The same goes for Mancini, who looked dumbfounded in front of the bench.

Although Old Man was a little surprised by Joe Hart's mistake just now, Old Man knew it!

These Southamptonians probably won't be happy for long.

no way!
Who lets his team have a devil?
Moreover, this is the first time he has ever seen a team play against a team with Demon Su Qin!

By the way, Barcelona, ​​which was once at its peak, couldn't compete with Su Qin.

He really doesn't know where the newly promoted team like Southampton got the courage to fight against Manchester City?
PS: The update is unstable. It is indeed Pippi’s fault. I have to pack my bags to hand over the work!

Pippi didn't have anything to explain.

I can only say I’m sorry to all the readers!
