There are 38 rounds of matches in the Premier League, and the average interval between each round is about one week.
August 20!
Saturday!
After five days of intense preparation, the second round of the Premier League is here!
Manchester City will play against Charlton Athletic Football Club at the Etihad Stadium!
In the middle of the last century, Charlton Athletic also had glorious moments, winning the FA Cup in 1947, the runner-up of the English top competition in 1937, and the runner-up of the FA Cup in 1946.
But since then, they have fallen to the third division, and then jumped back and forth between the first, second and third divisions.
It was not until the 1999-00 season that they won the English Championship and were promoted to the Premier League. However, they have not had a good time in the Premier League in the past few years. They have neither high nor low. Last season, they won 12 wins, 10 draws and 16 losses, ranking 11th in the Premier League.
And Manchester City was even worse than Charlton last season, after all, they barely managed to stay in the league last season!
It is worth mentioning that Charlton has an interesting nickname "The Addicks", which evolved from Haddock.
The reason is that Charlton was poor in the early years of the last century, and the home stadium, the Valley Stadium, lacked infrastructure. Charlton's players even had to rely on a fried fish shop next to the stadium as a temporary locker room when changing jerseys for the game.
...
At five o'clock in the evening, half an hour before the official start of the Manchester City game, in the Manchester City Macho Bar...
Today, this place was booked by Manchester City's diehard fans. Here you can only see English men wearing blue Manchester United jerseys or shirtless.
For Manchester City's diehard fans, the past week has been an extremely dreamy week!
For Manchester City, which has been stuck in the quagmire since the 1990s, the days of diehard fans have been tormenting.
Especially when Manchester City saw its rivals Manchester United establish a dynasty to rule the Premier League, Manchester City was even tormented by promotion and relegation. It was not easy to return to the Premier League in the 2002-3 season. In the past three seasons, the team's best result was the 8th place in the season.
Last season, it barely managed to stay in the league!
But now, every Manchester City fan sitting here has renewed their expectations for the team!
Because just last week, Manchester City defeated West Bromwich 3-0 in the opening game, completely taking off their so-called Manchester United killer title!
Manchester City fans have bent their backs for so many years, and finally straightened up once!
The process of the game also gave Manchester City fans hope. Manchester City finally changed the previous pursuit of the passing and cutting style, and changed to a simple and efficient long pass and lob attack style!
And the performance of the team's new signing Su Fei also surprised these diehards. His explosive style of play, the youngest Premier League hat trick man
Almost 90% of the sales of newspapers and magazines about Manchester City vs. West Bromwich Albion in Manchester City, as long as they are related to Manchester City, are consumed by Manchester City fans.
Just like those fans who see their favorite stars perform well in the future and keep browsing various short videos and forums.
Manchester City fans now like to read various paper media and appreciate how these Premier League media are praising Manchester City in various ways!
What about going straight to the Champions League in the new season, having completely gotten rid of the shadow of the relegation team, and will become the biggest dark horse in the Premier League this season...
The bar was very lively. While waiting for the start of tonight's game, the fans clinked glasses with each other, drank cold beer, laughed, and chatted with each other.
"Do you think today's beer tastes particularly good?"
"Yes, definitely! After all, this beer was paid for by Old Tom, haha."
"Yes, yes, no wonder I also think today's beer tastes like malt. I almost forgot that it was Old Tom who generously donated!"
"Hehe, I didn't expect that the newly appointed Stuart was really good and could beat West Brom by three goals. That's why I lost the bet."
The fan called Old Tom by everyone has a gray beard and looks quite old, but he is very energetic.
What is eye-catching is the old Manchester City jersey he is wearing. On the back of the jersey is a name "Francis Lee" that is unfamiliar to young fans.
Those who are familiar with Old Tom know that the owner of his jersey is Francis Lee, the legendary striker who played for Manchester City in the 1960s and 1970s.
Being able to own this jersey is enough to prove Old Tom's weight among this group of fans and his loyalty to Manchester City.
He has been watching Manchester City games with his parents since he was a child.
"It's been so many years since I last saw Manchester City."Manchester City played such a wonderful game!"
"A hearty long pass!"
"Anyway, since I've invited you to drink, this matter is over, don't mention it again!"
As he said this, Old Tom took out a new Manchester City jersey from somewhere like a magic trick.
This action immediately caused the surrounding fans to go crazy, with all kinds of cheers and whistles!
"Oh my God! Old Tom!"
"Oh my! How many years have passed! You finally decided to change your jersey!"
"This is a new beginning! It's also a new beginning for Manchester City!"
Everyone kept cheering at Old Tom, and Old Tom also changed into a brand new jersey under the gaze of everyone.
Of course, the jersey that belonged to Francis Lee was also carefully folded by Old Tom and put into the bag he carried with him.
"This is definitely the most meaningful thing that happened before the start of today's game!"
"Long live Manchester City! ! ”
“Come on, brothers, let’s have a toast and celebrate Manchester City’s big win tonight in advance!”
“Believe in Manchester City! Manchester City has been completely renewed! Stuart’s new offensive system will easily open the door for us to Charlton, cheers! ”
Manchester City fans in the Macho Bar raised their glasses high, and everyone’s eyes were full of hope!
................................
On the other side.
Manchester City’s player bus slowly followed the crowded car group and arrived in front of the square of Etihad Stadium.
Here.
Tens of thousands of Manchester City fans who have been waiting for a long time have already gathered. The crowd is surging, wearing blue jerseys, holding up countless signs supporting Manchester City, and some are waving Manchester City’s team flag.
This group of fans has not chosen to enter the stadium yet, just to give the players the most enthusiastic cheers when Manchester City’s player bus passes by.
“Na na na na na na na na na na na hey Jude~”
“Na na na na na na na na na na na hey Jude~”
“Na na na na na na na na na na na hey Jude~"
When the team bus appeared in the sight of Manchester City fans, the chorus of "Hey Jude" exclusively for Manchester City fans sounded!
"Hey Jude" is not Manchester City's team song. Manchester City's team song is "Blue Moon", which is also the origin of Manchester City's Blue Moon.
But "Hey Jude" means more to Manchester City fans. This is a song from 1968, and it was that year that Manchester City successfully won the English League One championship (the predecessor of the Premier League).
Coupled with the beauty of the song and the positive content, it has become a song that Manchester City fans must sing before every game!
A chorus of 10,000 people in front of the Etihad Stadium!
At this time.
Su Fei, who was sitting in the player bus, heard the moving singing outside the window and couldn't help but lift the sunshade of the window...
