Messi was so scared that he cried when he maxed out his header talent at the start of the game

August 26, Manchester City Macho Bar.

Nearly ten Manchester City diehard fans, represented by Old Tom, gathered in front of the bar after finishing their work today.

Everyone looked at Old Tom with a smile on their faces. Old Tom rolled his eyes and shouted at the bar owner.

"Billy, give each of my friends a glass of mellow ale, remember it on my head!"

"Hahaha, long live Old Tom!"

"Thanks to Su, we got free beer again!"

"Old Tom! You should be completely convinced of Su now! Manchester City is different with him!"

"I am convinced, I am completely convinced this time, I didn't expect that kid to score another goal in Portsmouth! And the final key clearance header is so damn beautiful! I will be a fan of this kid from now on!"

Old Tom took a sip of beer, smacked his lips, and said with a complicated expression.

The third round match between Manchester City and Portsmouth, this group of Manchester City diehards certainly won't miss it.

Just yesterday!

When Su Fei knocked away three defenders and scored a violent header in the 15th minute of the game, the whole Macho Bar instantly erupted in cheers!

The resentment that had been suppressed for several days disappeared, replaced by a brand new hope!

Old Tom and his friends continued to drink beer and chat happily.

The TV program that popped up on the bar counter attracted a lot of people's attention.

"Dangdangdangdang!"

"Hello, friends and fans of the Premier League, welcome to watch MOTD, I am the host Gary Lineker!"

"Tonight the program team invited the former famous football player Ian Wright as a special commentator. I will comment on the third round of the Premier League and predict the fourth round of the Premier League with Wright..."

This is the start of the ace football column MOTD of the English BBC TV station.

MOTD, the full name of Match of the Day, was first broadcast in 1964. After 40 years of development, it has become a must-see program for Premier League fans every week.

Fans must watch it, but it does not mean that they like to watch every episode, especially those fans who lost in the last round of games. Watching MOTD is equivalent to experiencing the pain of the home team losing again.

But today, Manchester City fans are all looking at the TV with interest.

First of all, the summary of the third round of the Premier League.

"Manchester United beat Aston Villa 1-0, continuing their three-game winning streak! Wayne Rooney's form has improved, and he scored a wonderful header in front of the goal in the 79th minute of the game. The little tank fired the first cannonball of the season..."

"Chelsea defeated West Bromwich Albion 4-0, showing the style of the defending champion! In the 5th minute of the game, Didier Drogba scored a violent shot in front of the penalty area, and the Warcraft scored his third goal of the season! In the 25th minute of the game, Arjen Robben cut into the penalty area with the ball and pushed the ball into the goal. The little Peter Pan was graceful..."

"Arsenal defeated Newcastle 2-0..."

Along with the host's broadcast, the screen also showed the team's game scenes and the moment when the players scored.

Manchester City fans waited and waited, and finally waited for the name of their team.

"Manchester City beat Portsmouth 1-0 and won their second victory of the season! In the 15th minute of the game, the team's new signing Su scored a header, and then the two teams fell into a 75-minute defensive battle."

When the replay of Su Fei's goal at Fratton Park appeared, cheers rang out again in the Macho Bar.

"Su!!!"

"Beautiful!!"

"Come on, continue to toast Su!"

Old Tom and others couldn't help but stand up, clink glasses and shout, and the atmosphere in the bar became even hotter.

Then.

The program came to the prediction session for the fourth round of the Premier League. In this session, the guests will give the winning rate between the two teams based on their own judgment of the strength of the two teams.

Seeing this, Old Tom and others also stopped chatting and stared at the TV screen seriously.

Although this winning rate prediction is only the personal opinion of the special guest, the influence of MOTD is here.

To some extent, it can represent the current recognition of Manchester City's strength by the entire Premier League.

"Ian, I'll call out the names of the two teams, and you just say what's in your mind."

"Okay, Gary."

"First, Manchester United vs. Newcastle."

"Well... 75%! I think Manchester United has a 75% chance of winning, and they are likely to score more than 2 goals. Newcastle's recent form is not good."

"That's very objective. Next is Chelsea vs. Tottenham."

"Uh... 80%! Chelsea, as the defending champions, is simply unstoppable this season."

"Then what's next?. Bolton vs West Ham United. ”

“Oh my god, this is difficult, the strength of the two teams is very close, I think I will give 50%. ”

“.......”

“Next is Manchester City vs Arsenal.”

“Although Manchester City has won two consecutive games in three rounds and has made the best start in recent seasons, I will give 5%. ”

“5%? Are you sure you are right? Wright! Manchester City’s current No. 9 Su has a very amazing performance and even scored a hat trick in the first round...”

“Yes, that’s right, I’m sure it’s 5%. I also pay attention to Manchester City’s Su, his header is indeed very good, but as a player from Arsenal, I believe Arsenal can steadily win this victory, and they will perfectly limit Su’s performance. I even think it’s difficult for Su to score in this game. Look at the game between Manchester City and Portsmouth. After Person put out a five-back lineup, Su almost didn’t even have a chance to touch the ball. He is still too young, and his offensive means are too simple. Maybe he can score goals with his physical advantage against some weak teams. But against Arsenal..."

The Manchester City Macho Bar was in an uproar. Diehard fans wondered if they had heard it wrong, and some even picked their ears.

What's the difference between a 5% winning rate and a 0% winning rate?

Humiliation!

Naked humiliation!

It's totally contempt for Manchester City!

And Wright was very positive that Su Fei would never be able to score against Arsenal.

"I can't stand it, I can't stand it at all! Ian Wright is definitely the worst guest in the history of DOTD!"

"Did you see the contemptuous look when he mentioned Manchester City? It made me sick!"

"That's the way Wright is! He likes to complain to his teammates when he's playing games!"

"Fuck, get Wright out of here. I won't watch any show with him in the future! "

Manchester City fans, led by Old Tom, vented their dissatisfaction with Ian Wright, and the bar owner Billy turned off the TV angrily.

But.

After venting, the diehard fans calmed down. They reviewed Ian Wright's words and Su Fei's performance in the third round.

In addition, the fear of Arsenal in their bones...

Since the 2000-01 season, the two teams have had 8 encounters in the Premier League.

They were 5-0, 4-0, 2-1, 5-1, 2 1-1, 2-1, 1-0, 2-1.

Since returning to the Premier League, Manchester City has lost 8 games in a row against Arsenal! A total of 23 goals were scored in 8 games!

Diehard fans have to admit that the fact is that Arsenal is like an insurmountable mountain for Manchester City!

In fact, what Ian Wright said is true... Pessimism spread in the hearts of diehard fans, and the bar became quiet.

"Let's make another bet. I bet Manchester City can beat the damn Arsenal. The bet is a week's beer!"

Old Tom suddenly spoke, his eyes flickering, and there was a certain firmness in his eyes.

At this moment.

Even these diehard fans of Manchester City thought in their minds that Old Tom was crazy and addicted to inviting beer...

That's Arsenal!
