Football: Starting from being abandoned by Barcelona

Daily Mail:

"For Manchester City, this was a nightmare night. They not only lost the game, but also lost their dignity and fighting spirit.

From the game, it can be seen that Manchester City's players seem to have lost their fighting spirit and passion. Their performance is just like a group of soulless puppets. De Bruyne, Sterling, Mahrez, these once powerful stars, all seemed extremely mediocre in this game.

And Li Lei, the young player who was highly expected, also failed to leave a deep impression. He was replaced in the first half, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the fans.

Manchester City needs a big cleanup. They need to regain their fighting spirit and passion, and need to prove again that they are still the strongest team in the Premier League. Otherwise, they will become another Liverpool, forever staying in the glory of the past."

The Sun:

"Manchester City lost, but what is more disappointing is the way they lost.

In this game, Manchester City completely lost They lost their usual style. Their offense was disorganized and their defense was full of loopholes. Every attack of Tottenham could bring great threats to Manchester City's goal.

Guardiola needs to bear the main responsibility for this defeat. It was his tactical choice and his decision to use personnel that led to Manchester City's defeat. If he cannot adjust as soon as possible, Manchester City's prospects will not be optimistic.

But we should not forget that Manchester City still has the strongest lineup in the Premier League. They have De Bruyne, Aguero, and Sterling. These players have created countless miracles. As long as they can regain their form, Manchester City still has a chance to defend the Premier League title.

This defeat should be a wake-up call for Manchester City. It tells them that nothing is taken for granted. Only through continuous efforts and continuous progress can they continue to write the legend of Manchester City. "

These commentary articles analyze the reasons for Manchester City's loss from different angles and put forward their own views on Manchester City's future.

But there is one thing in common: this defeat will become a turning point in Manchester City's history. It will determine Manchester City's future and Guardiola's fate.

Guardiola stood by the window, looking at the figure running on the court. The familiar figure was Li Lei. Guardiola couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

This defeat was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Manchester City. As the head coach, Guardiola knew that he needed to take the main responsibility for this defeat.

It was his tactical choice and his decision on personnel that led to Manchester City's defeat.

But Guardiola also had to admit that his suppression of Li Lei might also be a mistake.

Li Lei is a young and promising player. He has proved himself in the past two seasons, but Guardiola failed to give him such an opportunity after coming to Manchester City.

"Maybe, my expectations of Li Lei are too high," Guardiola said to himself.

"I always hope that he can become the backbone of the team like De Bruyne and Aguero."

"But I forgot that although he is still a young man, he is already a superstar."

Guardiola sighed, he knew that he needed to change.

He needed to give Li Lei more trust and support, and give him more opportunities to show himself.

"Perhaps, this defeat is also a wake-up call for me," Guardiola thought.

"It tells me that I need to trust my players more and give them more freedom. Only in this way can we truly become a strong team."

On the training ground, Li Lei is still training hard.

Although the loss in the last game made him very frustrated, he couldn't give up.

He needs to work harder and be more diligent to truly become an outstanding player.

"Li, your running position needs to be improved," De Bruyne walked to Li Lei and instructed.

"You need to be more flexible and more resourceful. Remember, you need to be ready to receive my pass at any time on the court."

Li Lei nodded and listened carefully to De Bruyne's instructions.

As a future world-class midfielder, De Bruyne's vision on the court is different from others.

"Thank you, Kevin," Li Lei said sincerely.

On the other side of the training ground, Aguero and Sterling were doing shooting training, and Li Lei walked over and joined them.

"Sergio, Rahim, can I train with you?" Li Lei asked.

Aguero and Sterling both smiled.

"Of course, Li," Aguero said, "We are all part of Manchester City, and we all need to help each other."

Li Lei smiled and began to practice shooting with Aguero and Sterling.Only through continuous training and continuous learning can he really make progress.

"Li, remember, the shot must be decisive and powerful," Silva instructed.

"But at the same time, you also need to pay attention to skills. You need to use your brain to find a way to deceive the opponent's goalkeeper."

Li Lei listened carefully and nodded from time to time.

In this way, Li Lei and his teammates spent a fulfilling and meaningful morning on the training ground.

Time flies, and October 1st is here in a blink of an eye.

Manchester City will visit Germany on this day and go to Monchengladbach to play the second game of the Champions League group stage at the Borussia Park Stadium there.

Li Lei followed the team to the hotel where Monchengladbach stayed.

This is a very elegant hotel with a simple and elegant decoration style.

Li Lei walked into his room, put down his luggage, and showed a trace of fatigue on his face. Long-distance flights always make people feel a little tired.

He needs to adjust his state as soon as possible to meet the upcoming game in the best state.

Monchengladbach is a city located in western Germany.

It has a long football tradition and is one of the important cities for German football.

Borussia Mönchengladbach Football Club is a powerful team in German football.

They have won the Bundesliga championship five times, the German Cup three times, and the European Cup Winners' Cup twice in 1975 and 1979.

Today, although Borussia Mönchengladbach is no longer as glorious as it was in the past, they are still a team that cannot be underestimated.

Especially at home, they are a difficult team to beat.

The Champions League has always been one of the most watched events for European fans.

Whether in the UK, Germany, or other European countries, every Champions League game can attract a large number of fans to watch.

This is even more obvious in Borussia Mönchengladbach.
