Starting with Milan as a central defender

Post-match press conference.

Rogers unbuttoned the upper row of his suit, pretended to be reserved, looked up and around, and then slowly sat down.

He is an English gentleman!
"We just got a trivial victory and it's not something to be overjoyed about."

"The next schedule will be more difficult, Manchester City, Tottenham, Villa and the Champions League that is about to start."

“Only by staying humble and down-to-earth can we achieve better results.”

A reporter from "The Sun" raised his hand and asked: "How do you evaluate Qin Yingchao's performance in his debut?"

"He's the best player I've ever seen."

"Perfect!"

"Toughness!"

"."

The Liverpool press officer quickly called a halt, otherwise Rogers could have played for half an hour.

The other side.

Coleman held onto the phone.

"Qin seems to have magic power. He can integrate into every corner of the team, cooperate with each player tacitly, and bring about earth-shaking changes to the team."

"I'm excited to see how far he can go in the Premier League."

"To be honest, if he could have come to Southampton, maybe we would have scored three points today, haha, just kidding."

The Liverpool FC bus takes the players back to the training base.

Due to the wave of injuries last season, Rogers attached great importance to maintenance and massage.

Therefore, every player cannot leave after the game and must receive scientific treatment.

Qin Yun was lying on the physiotherapy bed and watching the match between Manchester City and Newcastle.

In the 38th minute of the opening game, Dzeko assisted David Silva, who scored a beautiful long shot.

Then the scene fell into silence
In stoppage time, Aguero received the ball from the outside of the penalty area, swung left and right, passed two people in a row, and pushed the ball into the goal.

Looking at it this way, Manchester City does not seem to be strong.

But this is because some of the main players did not play, and it is estimated that they need to conserve their strength and prepare for the next game.

In the championship and runner-up battle last season, Manchester City showed very strong dominance and defeated Liverpool.

Now under the transformation of "Engineer" Pellegrini, the core of Manchester City is David Silva, who plays the role of metronome and offensive axis.

Frequently cooperates with short passes in the frontcourt to stretch the opponent's defense and create space for David Silva to make a fatal pass.

"Qin, congratulations on your first win in the Premier League."

Gerald smiled and looked to the side.

In fact, he was already prepared to stumble in the early stages of the league, but who knew that today's result would give him a huge surprise.

You know last season Liverpool lost 0-1 to Southampton.
Although Suarez did not play in that game, people still can't help but compare.

Speaking of Suarez, he is still suspended and will not be lifted until November.

It will be difficult for Barcelona during this period.

Gerrard suddenly remembered a saying, offense wins games and defense wins championships.

In a 10-month league, stability is the most critical factor.

If it weren't for the ups and downs of Liverpool's defense, a breakthrough might have been achieved.

"Thank you, captain. I'll treat you to dinner tonight. Do you have any recommendations for a restaurant?"

Qin Yun is not modest.

Liverpool's next game will not be until August 8, which is ten days later, so the team will not excessively restrict the players' diet.

"Then I'm going to kill you tonight!"

Gerald joked.

Everyone took advantage of the massage time to chat and brag, and the atmosphere became more and more harmonious.

The evening party was held at Frankie Sports Diner, a sports-themed restaurant run by one of Britain's top celebrity chefs.

Of course, I inevitably drank some wine.
After all, for some England players, life cannot be without alcohol.

As the famous Colombian winger once said: "I can count on one hand the number of football players who don't drink. They, us, all of them, go out and drink."

For example, Rooney, who was closely guarded 24 hours a day, would always find an opportunity to take a sip.

I almost didn't make Ferguson angry.
But everyone is more restrained and self-disciplined. Henderson and Sterling
Gerrard was involved in fights due to drinking and also drank less frequently.

Van Dyke had suffered severe damage to his gastrointestinal tract due to his frequent consumption of junk food, which was even life-threatening.

So I don’t drink alcohol at all.
Qin Yun only drank half a cup. He really didn't like the feeling of being drunk, which would seriously affect his thinking.

The party is over quickly.

Qin Yun returned home and couldn't wait to open the system. There had never been any rewards such as "badges" before.

Don't know what effect it has.
The system prompt sounded quietly.

"Mission accomplished: Premier League debut!"

".Rewards are being distributed."

Qin Yun's eyes blurred.

A cluster of flames appeared in the field of vision, slowly transforming into a leaver bird reborn from the ashes.

Gorgeous feathers, bright eyes, high head
He spread his wings and flew around Qin Yun, then disappeared with a loud cry.

"Congratulations on getting: Liver Bird Badge!"

Qin Yun waited for a long time, but there was no follow-up.

It seemed like I had to slowly experiment on my own, so I ignored it.

late at night.

The first round of the Premier League is all over.

Big6 all won the game
wrong
Manchester United lost 1-2 to Swansea.

Unfavorable substitutions, loss of control, Rooney sleepwalking, disaster in the backcourt.

Some Manchester United fans even smashed the TV.
Just now, the best player of this round of the Premier League was announced: Liverpool-Qin Yun!

Netizens discussed passionately.
-
[Chelsea: Northern Expedition! 】
-
[Liverpool: Eastern Expedition! 】
-
[Manchester City: Go south! 】
-
[Arsenal: West! 】
-
[Manchester United: If you can win one game, it’s a victory. 】
-
[Liverpool’s opponents are too weak and cannot reflect the strength of the lineup at all. Their true colors will be revealed in the next game against Manchester City! 】
-
[Last season, you said the same thing about Milan]

The next day.

Melwood Training Base.

The entrance was densely packed with Liverpool fans.

Qin Yun opened the car window. He had signed countless jerseys and his hand speed had long been developed.

But what made him dumbfounded was that someone handed him a Liverpool No. 6 jersey, but his name was Luis, but this product had been loaned to Malaga.

Today's training is simple, basically indoors and recovery with yoga or equipment.

The coaching team is working hard to study Manchester City's tactics. After football has entered the modern era, through video and data, it can make a clear analysis and adopt the most appropriate response method.

Today, the salary of tactical analysts in the Premier League has exceeded one million.

But the work content is very complex and requires follow-up of every game.

And analyze the progress of the game, data reports, position analysis, analysis of specific reasons for winning and losing goals, etc., and produce a series of video reports.

This is the trend after football becomes more refined.
Therefore, many fans were not optimistic about Qin Yun's development in the Premier League before, because every move you make, even the subtle habits you don't notice, will be studied by others with a magnifying glass.

Of course, they're analyzing David Silva frame by frame right now.

An underrated Spanish technical midfielder, the core of the Blue Moon Legion's victory.

He averaged 2.1 key passes per game, averaged 44.4 passes per game, and the pass success rate was as high as 87%.

Very scary data.

First-class ball control, first-class ball protection, first-class passing, first-class awareness, and first-class physical fitness.
When these advantages are concentrated in one person, it is difficult not to regard him as the core of the team.

There are only three types of attacks in the frontcourt. Silva creates his own opportunities, Aguero runs into the right position, and Yaya Toure goes forward and takes a long shot.

And this is the best entry point to limit Manchester City's offense.
Qin Yun watched the video on the screen and deduced it in his mind, carefully dividing the stadium into 20 areas.
If you want to restrict David Silva, you must press and induce.

It's a game of space.

As for offense?

Manchester City's goalkeeper is Joe Hart!
No matter what he does, just shoot with his legs.

There is no shortage of long-range shooters in the Liverpool team, including Coutinho, Gerrard and Qin Yun.
Ittihad training base.

Engineer Pellegrini opened the tactical board and spoke solemnly.

"New aid Mangala's body, speed and aerial confrontation ability are all good."

"And after this period of time, the tacit understanding with Kompany is getting better and better."

"But we must not let down our guard in the next game against Liverpool and let Yaya Toure focus on Qin and prevent him from advancing to participate in the attack."

On the green field.

David Silva protected the ball with his back and suddenly passed it to the center.

Yaya Toure followed up and hit the ball with a blast.

boom!
A muffled sound.

Joe Hart didn't react at all.

I really don’t blame him, mainly because Yaya Toure has been at his peak in the past two years.

With 20 goals in the Premier League last season, he was the only non-frontcourt player among the top ten scorers.The world's No. 2 B[-]B!

He just doesn't have high discipline, likes to pass threatening balls, and often rushes forward impulsively, resulting in empty defense in the backcourt.

This is why Guardiola didn't like to use Yaya Toure when he was at Barcelona.

Yaya Toure has long been looking forward to competing with Qin Yun on the same stage. The attributes of the two are actually relatively similar. They are both defensive gates and offensive weapons.

Who wouldn’t want to step on the head of a World Cup winner?

In a place where the Premier League is full of defensive midfielders, since his arrival, no one has been a perfect match.

Yaya Toure is confident of maintaining his dominance.

Joe Hart held the ball in his arms and said nervously: "Be careful of Qin's long shot and try not to let him kick."

"Don't worry, he won't have a chance."

Yaya Toure showed his white teeth and smiled cruelly and confidently.

Joe Hart sighed silently, knowing that the other party didn't hear him at all.

Aguero clenched his fists. He would never forget the defeat in the World Cup, so he tried to regain his place in the Premier League.

Zabaleta returns from injury and wants to take revenge.

The will of Manchester City players is unprecedentedly unified.

This is no longer an ordinary league, but a battle of revenge.

8 month 26 number.

After a two-hour journey, the team bus bearing the Liverpool logo drove into Manchester.

It is the center of commerce, finance, insurance and transportation in the North West of England.

The capital of the north, an intoxicating city.

More than 200 years ago, Englishman Stephenson built the first steam locomotive.

Amid the roar, modern civilization seems to be equipped with an engine, speeding along.

With the rapid development of industry, Manchester's football has also reached its peak.

The giant Manchester United and the new powerhouse Manchester City.
Elements of both teams can be seen everywhere on city street corners.

Qin Yun looked through the car window and admired the canal flowing through the heart of the city. It seemed to be telling the past of the Industrial Revolution.

Unlike Liverpool, there is no leisure and tranquility in Manchester. Pedestrians are rushing around, bursting with energy and restlessness.

As the bus moved forward, a magnificent oval building appeared.

Etihad Stadium.

In 2011, Etihad Airways of the United Arab Emirates began sponsoring the title.

But people are more accustomed to calling it the Etihad Stadium.

Qin Yun raised his head
It turns out that the sky in Manchester is blue.

Pre-match press conference.

The major media flocked to it.

The excitement of this game is too high.
The most popular player in the world, the club that just won the Premier League title.

Moreover, it was previously revealed that Qin Yun rejected Manchester City's invitation.

No matter which side wins, it will be a controversial topic.

Moreover, most of the players on the Manchester City team have been defeated by Qin Yun, and they can make many eye-catching headlines.

Media reporters enthusiastically asked questions.

"Mr. Pellegrini, are you confident in the Premier League championship this season?"

Pellegrini's answer was perfect.

"It's too early to talk about competing for the championship in the second round. The league is a long process."

"But Liverpool are one of the strongest teams in the Premier League so it's still important for us to beat them."

"I hope to get three points at home and we will do our best to do so."

Another reporter raised his hand to ask a question.

"Then you have no choice about Qin"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Pellegrini, "Everyone has the right to choose. I hope you won't over-interpret this game."

The other side.

"Hopefully the players can continue the form they had in the last game."

"Champion? I would never talk about this kind of topic in front of the media."

"It's not about having too low expectations or engaging in psychological warfare."

"To be honest, these are all inconspicuous things. Everything depends on the performance of the players on the court."

Rogers did not declare victory. He suddenly thought of something and added another sentence.

"Of course, I think Mourinho is right, Manchester City is the team with the best chance of winning the championship."

The reporters in the audience rolled their eyes.
Manchester City fans immediately cursed loudly because Rodgers said a similar sentence last season, and the subject at that time was Chelsea.
What happened next is well known.

Shut up this guy, he's poisoning the milk!

player channel.

Yaya Toure and Kolo Toure stood together, making it impossible to tell the two brothers apart.

They are all big black eggs.
Gerrard and Lampard embraced each other warmly. Although they cannot coexist in the national team, they usually have a good relationship.

What, why is Lampard here, you ask?
Because the Chelsea management gave Lampard, the top scorer in team history, a very low contract extension price, which caused the latter to leave for New York City in the United States.

However, New York City and Manchester City are both teams controlled by the City Football Group, so New York City loaned Lampard to Manchester City, which is equivalent to a left hand and a right hand.

When Chelsea executives saw Lampard appearing in Manchester City's starting lineup, they were immediately confused and complained angrily to the Football Association.

But it doesn't work
After all, I have not signed a binding contract and am not protected by law. What can I do?
Most of the other Manchester City players are focused on Liverpool's No. 6.

Curiosity, unwillingness, envy.
Qin Yuntong ignored it and said hello to Qiao Hart.

Joe Hart turned his head and wanted to ignore it, but suddenly thought of the World Cup scene.

Two world waves.
They are all on the opposite side now.
In the end, he waved in response with a smile that looked like he was crying.

As the players from both teams slowly walked out of the tunnel.

The Etihad Stadium is like a calm ocean, and suddenly a storm comes.

Tens of thousands of people can set off a wave with just one breath, not to mention cheering at the top of their lungs.

Qin Yun raised his head and looked towards the stands.

Even if it is an away game, Liverpool fans still go out with a huge TIFO.

It was a phoenix reborn from the ashes, spreading its wings and soaring!

Qin Yun's chest suddenly swelled and he stepped onto the green field.

A familiar cold mechanical voice sounded.

"Ding, the main mission is activated: crush the blue moon!"

"Mission reward: Manchester City Legend Treasure Chest!"

"Good evening, audience friends!"

"Welcome to the second round of the Premier League!"

"Manchester City vs. Liverpool!"

"This is a powerful showdown where Mars hits the Earth!"

"Both teams are strong contenders for the Premier League championship this season!"

"I'm the commentator for this game, Zhan Jun!"

"I'm Zhang Lu!"

"Let's introduce you to the starting lineups of both sides."

"Wearing blue jerseys, attacking from left to right is Manchester City. They have a 4-2-3-1 lineup!"

"Goalkeeper: Joe Hart!"

"Defenders: Clichy, Mangala, Kompany, Zabaleta!"

"Midfielder: Fernandinho, Yaya Toure!"

"Midfielder: Milner, Nasri, David Silva!"

"Forward: Aguero!"
