Football: Starting from being abandoned by Barcelona

In addition to domestic competitions, Manchester City also has a number of international competitions to deal with.

They will participate in the European Super Cup organized by UEFA and the Club World Cup organized by FIFA.

Of course, there is also the most important Champions League.

This series of intensive schedules tests the players' physical and mental qualities.

It is precisely because of this that Guardiola made large-scale signings during the offseason to strengthen the team's bench depth.

On the training day of July 14, Manchester City's training base was particularly lively.

Li Lei and his teammates walked into the training ground one by one in high spirits and reunited.

Everyone got enough rest and adjustment during the holidays, but now they must prepare for the upcoming tough season.

Guardiola stood on the sidelines, looking at every player.

This season will be a huge test for them, both physically and mentally, and they will face unprecedented challenges.

But he is also full of confidence that this Manchester City team can achieve brilliant results on all fronts.

"Is everyone here?" Guardiola asked.

"Everyone is here, coach." The assistant coach replied.

"Okay, let's get started." Guardiola waved his hand, signaling the start of training.

"The new season's schedule is very tight. Everyone needs to adjust their status as soon as possible during the training camp and find the feeling of the game." Guardiola said during the training break.

"Our goal is not only to win the Premier League championship again, but also to continue to achieve good results in the European arena."

"Everyone should work together and move towards higher goals."

The first day of Manchester City's training camp officially kicked off at the training base.

As a routine on the first day, the players first need to undergo a comprehensive physical examination.

In the physical examination room, the employees in charge of the physical examination showed helpless smiles on their faces. They have been accustomed to the players' indulgence and lack of self-discipline during the holidays.

"Look at your belly. Do you eat barbecue at home every day during the holidays?" The team doctor said to Aguero half-jokingly.

Aguero touched his belly, smiled helplessly and said: "Hey, it's a holiday, it's normal to relax."

"But don't worry, I will definitely be back to my best before the season starts."

"Aguero, you can't go on like this," De Bruyne interrupted.

"Otherwise, the Golden Boot Award in the new season will not be yours."

Aguero pretended to be horrified and said: "Oh, no, how can this be! I can't let you laugh at me."

This caused Li Lei to laugh at the side: "We are all waiting to see you return to your peak state, don't let us down!"

At the same time, Sterling was also undergoing a physical examination.

When measuring body fat, the team doctor smiled and said, "Sterling, you had a very comfortable holiday."

Sterling shrugged: "It's a holiday, I have to relax."

"But the training has started. Come back to see me in a few days. I promise I'm back in shape."

Iheanacho next to him came over and teased, "Sterling, I heard you sunbathe every day during the holiday, how come you're still so white?"

Sterling hit back, "Little Yi, I'm not like you, hiding at home playing games every day."

The banter between the players made the physical examination process easy and interesting.

Although they were a little indulgent during the holiday, they all said they would quickly recover during the training camp.

Everyone joked with each other, but also encouraged each other, hoping to have better performance in the new season.

Li Lei was also undergoing a physical examination, and the team doctor carefully checked his various indicators.

Although he relaxed a little during the holiday, his overall condition was maintained well.

The team doctor nodded with satisfaction: "Li Lei, you are in good physical condition. It seems that the vacation was not wasted."

Li Lei smiled and said: "Although the vacation was relaxing, I didn't dare to indulge myself too much."

"We have to strive for more championships in the new season, so we can't let down the chain."

After the physical examination, the players returned to training. Although there were some jokes and relaxation during the physical examination, they all showed a high degree of concentration and dedication in the training.

The new season is about to begin, and the Manchester City team is full of fighting spirit and confidence.

That afternoon, the atmosphere at the Manchester City training base became more lively because the new players who joined this year also arrived one after another.

The addition of these fresh bloods attracted widespread attention from the players present, especially when the famous legendary goalkeeper Buffon appeared, everyone couldn't help but stop the training in their hands.

Buffon is tall and has a strong aura. As soon as he appeared, he attracted everyone's attention.

The training ground immediately exploded, and the players talked about it.

"Oh my God, it's Buffon!" Sterling said in disbelief with his eyes wide open.

Aguero smiled and said: "It seems that Joe Hart is under a lot of pressure.Buffon is such a strong substitute goalkeeper. "

Joe Hart smiled helplessly after hearing this and said: "Don't say that, I don't want to compete with Buffon for a position, I hope he can bring us more victories. "

De Bruyne also joined in the teasing: "Joe, Buffon is here, you have to work harder, otherwise we may see him flying in front of the goal. "

Buffon walked to the sidelines, saw everyone's reaction, and showed his signature confident smile.

"Hello everyone, I'm Buffon! Don't worry, I'm here to help the team win the championship, not to grab your position." He said half-jokingly.

Guardiola walked over with a smile and patted Buffon on the shoulder: "Buffon, welcome to Manchester City."

"Everyone, our new teammate Buffon is here to help us hit more championships. "

The players applauded to welcome Buffon to join.

Captain Kompany and deputy captain Li Lei stepped forward and shook hands with Buffon.

"Welcome, Buffon. It's a pleasure to fight side by side with you. "

Buffon nodded and said, "Li Lei, I heard that you are a star player here. I am looking forward to working with you on the court."

Afterwards, other new players also arrived at the training base one after another.

Gundogan, Sane, Stones and others appeared in front of everyone one after another.

The arrival of each person caused a small commotion, and the old players came forward to greet and tease.

"Gundogan, welcome to Manchester City, your passing skills have been famous for a long time, and I look forward to your performance."

Gundogan smiled and responded, "Thank you, De Bruyne, I am also looking forward to fighting side by side with you."

Sane seemed a little shy, but was soon moved by the enthusiasm of his teammates.

"Sane, don't be nervous, Manchester City is a big family." Aguero comforted.

Stones was also warmly welcomed, especially by his teammates on the back line.

"Stones, with you joining the back line, our defense will be more solid. "Kompany said.

With the addition of new players, the training atmosphere of Manchester City has become more positive and enthusiastic.

The mutual banter and welcome between the players made the whole team full of unity and vitality.
