Football's No. 1 Prodigal Son

The team was injured in the international match day.

After the international match day, Manchester City received bad news.

Comrade Robben was injured.

This guy is really useful, but a little brittle.

What's more depressing is that this guy will be out for a month.

This is in line with Yang Luo's stereotype of him. There are not many major injuries, but minor injuries.

And the physical condition of other players is not ideal, because these players have played a lot of games in their respective national teams.

The entire frontcourt was completely emptied, and even Tony was called up to the national team.

Seeing the physical condition of this group of players, Van Gaal simply adopted a large-scale rotation, and Wright-Phillips and Milner got the chance to start.

This also greatly reduced Manchester City's offensive firepower, and they were eventually tied 0-0 by Everton at home.

Chelsea's performance in this round was also very average, and they were tied by Aston Villa away.

Only Arsenal remained in a very hot state, beating Fulham 3-0 away and leading the standings.

After this game, Manchester City will usher in the first game of the Champions League this season.

This is the stadium they have been away from for decades, so it naturally attracted a large number of spectators.

Many fans couldn't get tickets at all, and could only wait at the gate of Manchester City Stadium, waiting for a ticket to fall from the sky.

Unfortunately, almost no one would transfer tickets at this time.

After learning about this, San Dezi said to Yang Luo with a sad face: "Boss, we still have too few seats! It's a pity that so many spectators can't buy tickets!"

Yang Luo nodded: "This is indeed a problem."

San Dezi said again: "I heard that the current ticket price has been hyped up to five times the original price. It's crazy."

Yang Luo glanced at him: "What? What do you think?"

San Dezi laughed: "Do you think I can make tens of thousands of pounds by transferring my VIP area ticket?"

Yang Luo had a blank expression: "Sure, you can go out now!"

San Dezi's face froze, and he quickly said awkwardly: "I'm kidding..."

Manchester City's opponent in this game is Monaco.

Today's Monaco has completely lost the momentum of the runner-up of the Champions League last season. The start of this season's league is very bleak, which puts Deschamps under great pressure.

But this can't be blamed entirely on him. After the Champions League final, the entire team was divided up.

Rothen went to Paris Saint-Germain, Morientes returned to Real Madrid, Giuly went to Barcelona, ​​and the front trident was gone.

And Manchester City also snatched Maicon, who was supposed to have them, which also affected their right-wing defense.

Of course, coupled with Evra, who was snatched away in the previous season, Yang Luo can be said to have sinned against this team...

They only loaned Saviola and bought Chevanton in the summer transfer window in the hope of supporting Monaco's offensive line.

But judging from the performance in the previous rounds of Ligue 1, they have not been able to fully adapt to the team.

In terms of the strength comparison between the two sides, Manchester City naturally has an absolute advantage, but after all, they are rookies in the Champions League, and it is hard to say how they can perform in the game.

In the pre-match predictions, there are also many people who are optimistic about Monaco's unbeaten record.

Lineker and Alan Hansen have a conservative view of this game.

They believe that the first game of the Champions League newcomers should not be overestimated, and a steady start may also be a good result.

But Manchester City's performance soon surprised them.

Less than five minutes into the game, Manchester City seized the opportunity!

Ronaldinho dribbled past the left and went straight to the edge of the penalty area.

After attracting the attention of central defender Rodriguez, he casually passed the ball to Torres in the penalty area.

Torres accelerated forward and then swept directly in front of the goal.

Ronaldo rushed in at high speed and shoveled the ball into the goal before the defender!

One to zero, Manchester City took the lead!

Yang Luo in the stands couldn't help but applaud the players' wonderful performance.

It seems that this group of players are indeed future superstars, and their adaptation to the Champions League is far better than that of ordinary players.

After losing the ball, Monaco began a massive attack. Their pre-match goal was to get at least one point, so they had to equalize as soon as possible!

But wishes are beautiful, but reality can never be as they wish.

Manchester City's defense is very solid, with two smart forwards, Saviola and Chevanton, and two defensive midfielders.

Under the pressure of the front line, they could not get any good offensive opportunities.

On the contrary, Manchester City frequently got opportunities in the frontcourt.

The frontcourt attack line, which had been fully rested in the last game, was in a very hot state in this game. Their rounds of impact made Monaco's defense line unable to withstand it.

In the 27th minute, Manchester City got another great opportunity!

After Essien intercepted the ball in the middle, he directly passed the ball to Kaka's feet.

Kaka quickly advanced with the ball, and after shaking Bernati, he passed the ball directly to Ronaldo's feet.

After Ronaldo took the ball to the bottom, he did not choose to cross the ball, but passed it back to Maicon who was inserted into the corner of the penalty area.

Maicon made a slight adjustment and kicked a long shot directly!

The ball was so powerful that goalkeeper Roma did not dare to be careless and barely saved the ball sideways.

But he did not hit the ball far, Torres rushed to it and stabbed the ball into the goal before the central defender Givet!

2-0, Manchester City expanded its lead!

Yang Luo, San Dezi and Bernstein high-fived to celebrate. Manchester City's chances of winning increased greatly!

Deschamps looked solemn. Since losing the fateful Champions League final, he felt that his coaching career was going downhill.

Now he was taught a lesson by the new team in the Champions League, which made him a little unacceptable.

But the strength shown by Manchester City was obviously stronger than them, and he was powerless at this time.

In the rest of the first half, Monaco's offense still did not improve, while Manchester City could still create threatening attacks from time to time.

But unfortunately, the score has not changed again.

After the start of the second half, Deschamps made a substitution and replaced the famous Arsenalist Adebayor. He hoped that this tall striker could change the situation on the field.

But unfortunately, Adebayor is only a 20-year-old young man now. In front of experienced defenders like Uifalusi and Distin, he basically has no chance.

Seeing this, Deschamps continued to make substitutions, and Placiel and Nonda also took to the field.

But this could not change the situation on the field.

On the contrary, Manchester City became more and more courageous. If it were not for the heroic performance of goalkeeper Roma, the game would have lost suspense long ago.

However, this did not affect Manchester City's victory. In the end, Manchester City beat Monaco 2-0 at home and won the first Champions League victory this season!
