Camp Nou.

Manchester City coaching bench,
All I heard was a loud shout: "Jack, replace Xia!"

Jack, the teaching assistant, responded hesitantly, "Boss, only twenty minutes?"

"Get off! If you don't change, you'll have no friends."

Coach Guardiola's teasing voice came. Jack laughed dryly twice, and although he didn't reply, he still agreed in his heart.

That Xia Qi was extremely brutal. In just 20 minutes, he scored three goals, turning what should have been an easy warm-up match into a derby filled with deep hatred.

It's true, he is so strong that he has no friends!

Soon, Xia Qi was substituted.

However, Barcelona's situation did not improve after Xia Qi left the field.

At the end of the first half, the final score was 0:3.

At the beginning of the second half, both sides made a complete 11-for-11 substitution, with all the starting players being replaced.

After both sides replaced their substitutes, although it was a substitute lineup, they played a more exciting game than in the first half.

"If we put aside the score in the first half, the depth of the benches of both teams was almost the same. The game entered a tense state. The rhythm was as fast as a storm, and the confrontation was also extremely fierce..."

In the second half, both sides scored three goals in total, and Barcelona finally led Manchester City 2:1, but the total score was 2:4, and Barcelona lost the warm-up match.

After defeating Barcelona, ​​Manchester City played two warm-up matches with Atletico Madrid and Leverkusen respectively.

In these two games, Xia Qi continued his heroic performance of killing gods and shining brightly.

Guardiola has gradually developed new ideas about the new season.

After returning to Manchester City, Xia Qi and others devoted themselves to the intensive preparations.

During this period, under pressure from fans, Arsenal, Xia Qi's former club,
He spent 3500 million to buy Santos from Barcelona, ​​3200 million to get 272 from Real Madrid, and 1200 million to buy Chambers from Southampton.

The media all believe that Arsenal has taken firm steps towards the fight for the top four.

During this period, something happened that made championship contenders such as Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and others extremely angry.

Liverpool sold Sterling to Manchester City for £4900 million.

After the deal was announced, the media unanimously agreed that Manchester City was already far ahead in the Premier League.

Originally, Manchester City's forward bench was relatively weak. If Xia Qi and Lukaku were injured, Manchester City would most likely lose points. But now, the shortest link seems to be the goalkeeper.

August 2014, 8, is less than a day away from the opening match of the new Premier League season.

On the spacious training ground at the Etihad training base.

The entire Manchester City team is leisurely conducting a relaxing training, the sun pouring down, reflecting their agile figures.

Guardiola stood on the sidelines, looking at the good condition of the team, his tense face gradually relaxed.

He has already determined the team's starting lineup with confidence.

During this period of time, he has been committed to turning Xia Qi, Sterling and Lukaku into a powerful combination like Barcelona's MSN and Real Madrid's BBC.

He had carefully thought of the name of the forward combination, which was called SLX, which means mountain bike braking system in English.

To this end, Manchester City’s commercial department specially found a mountain bike company to endorse it.

These days, Xia Qi rides a mountain bike to the Etihad training base every day, not entirely because of the endorsement, but because this mountain bike can effectively train Xia Qi's leg muscles.

Guardiola was very satisfied with the performance of the SLX combination in training, and they often brought endless joy to their teammates.

There is no way S and L are both Jingchu figures in Happy Football.

The kind of happiness that S and L have is something they can't do, except what you can't imagine.

Although Guardiola often holds his head in disbelief and even gets angry about these joys, he still firmly believes deep down that SLX will be a powerful combination that is no less powerful than MSN and BBC.

Tomorrow is Manchester City’s first home league game of the new season. Their opponent is Newcastle United, a mid-table team, although some Middle Eastern tycoons have injected funds into it.

However, Guardiola is confident his side can easily overcome their opponents.

He hopes that the SLX he built himself and the team's debut at the Etihad Stadium will make the fans happy.

After all, this is his first game in the Premier League.

Therefore, Guardiola turned today's training into an open training.

The sidelines were already crowded with reporters.

Of course! Without exception, all the reporters’ cameras were focused on one person.

At this moment, the focus of the whole world is on tomorrow's game.

Everyone is eager to know whether Xia Qi has any aftereffects of the World Cup.

Don't let the sequelae be delayed. After being invincible in the warm-up matches, he became a tapeworm when he returned to the Premier League.

If that's the case... Thinking of this, the reporters secretly rejoiced and took pictures of Xia Qi's training, leaving evidence of his "impotence".

“Penguin Sports!” “Penguin Sports!” “Penguin Sports!”

"Dear viewers, welcome to watch the live broadcast of the 2014-2015 Premier League on Penguin Live at am on Friday."

Just hearing that familiar voice, the fans knew it was their old friend Zhan Jun.

"Hello, everyone. I'm Zhang Lu." Zhang Lu's voice followed suit.

"It's six o'clock in the afternoon, local time in England!"

"In one hour, the Premier League opener at the Etihad Stadium will begin!"

“This game is Manchester City at home against Newcastle United.”

"From the roster of both teams we got, the SLX combination that has attracted much attention recently is on the list."

"This is also the debut of the SLX combination. Guardiola compared it to MSN, while the media reserved their views. After tonight, we will know who is right and who is wrong."

"As soon as Mr. Zhan finished speaking, the live broadcast room switched to the outside of the stadium!

A blue bus slowly drove into the inner avenue of the Etihad Stadium. At this time, countless Manchester City fans had already gathered outside the Manchester City Stadium, surrounding the entrance of the stadium.

A large number of security personnel tried their best to hold back the excited fans and finally allowed the bus to drive in slowly.

The fans shouted Xia Qi's name excitedly.

[Shh, this is the face of the game. It’s just a league game, but the Manchester City fans are going crazy! ]

【Manchester City didn't win any championship last season, and the fans' desire for the championship has reached its peak. Xia Qi came from Manchester City's youth training, and when he returned, he won the Premier League, Champions League, and World Cup triple crowns. He came to help the poor, and Xia Qi rejected Real Madrid's invitation. Do you think they can't be crazy?】

[Yes, Xia Qi is not like Fabregas, a traitor. If I were a Manchester City fan, I would be crazy about him too! ]

[That’s right, just because Xia Qi didn’t go to Real Madrid and returned to Manchester City, I must support Manchester City to win the championship this season, even though I am a Chelsea fan. ]

[Haha, I can’t wait to see how Xia Qi will perform in the Premier League! ]

[Newcastle United is really not in good shape right now, hovering in the lower half of the league for many years, and lacking star power in the team. In this game, they are likely to adopt intensive defense to fight against Xia Qi! ]

[Dense defense? That's great, we can see the true strength of the SLX combination. Guardiola said before that they are not inferior to MSN, which really makes people full of expectations.]

[Let's get started! I lied to my girlfriend tonight and told her that I had to work overtime at work. After the game, I still had to pay taxes.]

Finally, thanks to the unremitting efforts of the security personnel, the bus successfully drove into the underground parking lot of the stadium.

As soon as the car stopped, Guardiola hurried to the pre-match press conference. After all, this was Guardiola's Premier League debut.

To be honest, Guardiola was still a little nervous.

At the press conference, Newcastle head coach Alan Pardew had already sat down at the podium.

When Guardiola hurried over, Alan Pardew, who was looking sharply in his direction, felt as if his reverse scale was touched.

He was startled for a moment, then quickly turned his head away, his face suddenly covered with dark clouds, his brows furrowed as if he could catch a fly.

Guardiola wanted to say hello with a smile, but when he saw the old man's arrogant reaction, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes. He simply sat down, folded his arms across his chest, and fell into deep thought.

This opening scene made the reporters in the audience feel like they had discovered a new continent. Their eyes were shining with excitement. They leaned forward, stretched their necks, their faces full of anticipation and curiosity, as if they were waiting for a wonderful drama to begin.

You know, Alan Pardew is famous for his bad temper in the Premier League.

This old man takes advantage of his age and makes noise wherever he goes. Oh! No, it seems like he is like a primary school student in front of Mourinho.

In fact, he had quarreled with Mourinho before, but Mourinho's mouth was too sharp, and he had to be hospitalized for several days after each quarrel. Since then, he has been avoiding Mourinho.

After the staff signaled the start of the press conference, George was the first to raise his hand high like an agile cheetah and successfully got the opportunity to ask questions.

"Hello, Mr. Guardiola, I'm George, a reporter from the Mirror!"

George said this with an expectant look on his face, his eyes fixed on Guardiola, sparkling as if he could see through Guardiola.

George saw the scene at the beginning clearly.

He knew that Alan Pardew always had a bad temper, but Guardiola in front of him was also a very proud man.

Being so pretentious in front of Guardiola, I guess tonight's press conference will be very interesting.

"May I ask what your expectations are for your upcoming Premier League debut?

You know, Newcastle is a harvester of strong teams. They have made Manchester United, Liverpool... Such strong teams lose the championship... Do you think you can get off to a good start?"

really!

Guardiola's first words were like a bombshell, making all the reporters in the audience so excited that they almost jumped out of their seats!

Guardiola had a serious expression and a firm look in his eyes. He raised his chin slightly, glanced at the reporters in the audience, and then said word by word:

"In this game, I will let Manchester City fans see a completely different Manchester City! No matter who my opponent is."

Guardiola's voice was firm and powerful, as if carrying an unquestionable momentum, and he continued:
"Victory, there is no doubt about it! Moreover, we will win an extremely beautiful victory!"

Originally, Guardiola wanted to save some face for Alan Paddu, but this time, he doesn't plan to pretend anymore!
In fact, Guardiola believes he is just telling the truth.

Because Manchester City is too strong now. Apart from anything else, just relying on Xia Qi's abnormal state of killing gods when he meets them,
Tonight, Manchester City people can’t sleep, the media can’t sleep, Real Madrid and Sampdoria can’t sleep…

Tonight and in the next week, the whole world will be talking about the SLX combination and who is the world's best striker combination.

And this debate may continue for a season.

Guardiola believes from the bottom of his heart that SLX will have the last laugh... This is also the basis for his tough "victory declaration".

Alan Pardew, who was sitting next to Guardiola, felt despised after hearing what Guardiola said.

His face instantly became extremely gloomy, his brows were tightly knitted together, and he looked like the sky before a storm, full of haze.

He stared at Guardiola fiercely, his teeth chattered, his breathing became rapid, and his chest heaved violently.

Alan Padew's heart was burning with rage, but he was unable to make a strong rebuttal on the spot. He could only breathe heavily to vent his dissatisfaction.

Alan Pardew was holding his anger in his heart, staring at the reporters in the audience, anxiously waiting for their questions.

Finally, after a long wait, a reporter raised his hand to indicate that he wanted to answer his question!

"Hello, Mr. Pardue! I am Richard, a reporter from The Guardian."

There was a hint of cunning in Richard's voice, a barely perceptible smile on his face, and a playful look in his eyes.

"Excuse me, in this game, facing the powerful Manchester City, will Newcastle United adopt the bus defense?"

"Fuck!" Alan Padew cursed in his heart. When he heard this question, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

This damn reporter!
How much he despises the traditional English powerhouse Newcastle United!
Alan Pardew looked at Richard in front of him with great disgust, his face was ashen, his lips trembled slightly, and he said in a cold voice:
"There has never been a Magpie who only defends. We will have a hearty offensive battle at the Etihad Stadium!"

In a flash,

The entire press conference seemed to be on fire; it was completely in an uproar!
Alan Pardew actually said that he wanted to go head-to-head with Manchester City, which has Xia Qi?
This is so unexpected!

"Pep Guardiola's team has an admirable discipline and execution, and their performance is enough to make any opponent feel in awe.

But the beauty of football lies in its uncertainty, and we will do our best to show our style.

Everything is possible on the football field. We have confidence and determination, let us look forward to a wonderful game together. ”

Thunderous applause rang out in the press conference room. (End of this chapter)
