Compared with previous years, the Premier League teams have not made any big moves this year. None of the major giants has made any large-scale transactions that shocked fans. However, the transfers of many famous players have attracted attention.
Cech's transfer to Arsenal, Liverpool's purchase of Benteke, Chelsea's purchase of Pedro, Tottenham's acquisition of Sun Xingmin, etc. are all small transactions of around 10 to 20 million. However, Manchester United continued to strike hard and settled for 36 million. Martial, sending away Di Maria for 44 million, selling Hernandez for 12 million, packing Van Persie and Nani to Fenerbahce, etc. have all attracted enough attention.
In addition to buying several young players, Manchester City also sent away many old friends.
Richards and Milner moved to Aston Villa and Liverpool on free transfers respectively. Dzeko joined Roma on loan because he was unwilling to replace them. With Jortich on loan from Inter Milan, Manchester City's striker suddenly became stretched. So the happy boy Sterling joined Blue Moon according to his original trajectory.
It is also worth mentioning that Chinese player Wu Sanshi also joined Leicester City under the operation of Strus. The title on his head at this time was "New Yang Feng", but Yang Feng hoped that he would Being able to absorb some nutrients from Vardy does not require him to completely transform into a world-class forward, but at least he can become a more reliable helper in the next World Cup.
At this point, the transfer is completed and the new season begins.
In addition to various friendly matches, the first slightly more formal event of the 2015-2016 season is the International Champions Cup.
Just looking at the name, this tournament is more awesome than the Champions League, but in fact it is just a mainstream commercial warm-up tournament like the Emirates Cup and Telecom Cup. It used to be divided into North America and Europe, but this year the International Champions Cup expanded to the Asia-Pacific region. Two more competition regions, China and Australia, have been added.
The competition formats of each division are also different: the American division will follow the rules of 2014, with 10 teams divided into two groups. After each has completed a single round-robin competition within the group, the first place in the two groups will participate in the final championship and runner-up finals; Since there are only three participating teams in the China and Australia divisions, the champion will be determined based on ranking after the single round.
Manchester City was naturally assigned to the Chinese Division, along with AC Milan and Real Madrid.
All three teams have a large number of fans in China, not to mention that Yang Feng is participating this year. You can imagine the sensation caused in the country.
His teammates never doubted Yang Feng's popularity, but when the plane landed at Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport, they still had to be stunned by the sight before them.
There are huge crowds of people and there is no way to get through.
The sounds of "Yang Feng" and "Yang Feng" came like a roaring tsunami.
In addition to various screams and cheers, there was even a lot of crying mixed in.
Yang Feng originally wanted to leave quickly under the protection of security personnel like his teammates, but listening to the various excited shouts in his ears, he had to stop frequently and wave to the crowd to thank him. Finally, he begged his grandfather before the security guards. I got on the bus with the same eyes as my grandma.
Looking at the ant-like crowds on both sides of the street and the fans following the bus reluctantly, Aguero, who was sitting next to him, "tsk-tsk" twice, and then he couldn't help but said in a sour voice: "I have it in Argentina too. Such popularity.”
"Taller than Messi?"
"Well, second only to Messi...well, I mean active duty."
"I heard that you and Messi stay in the same room every time the national team plays?"
"Yeah, he can't sleep without me."
Sane, who was sitting in front, turned his head and said, "Congratulations, you have unlocked the only achievement in the world: the person who has lived with Messi and Yang at the same time."
Yang Feng waved outside the window again, then turned his head, "But I sleep better without him."
"Hmm?" Sane perked up, "So you want to change your roommate? For example...me?"
Aguero pushed the stupid kid back and said, "Don't dream, Yang's roommate is only me!"
The bus was escorted all the way to the hotel by the fans, and the game was held as scheduled.
Since it was a warm-up match, the protagonists were of course the new players of each team. However, almost from the first second of the game, the fans had been shouting Yang Feng's name. Pellegrini could only change his plan. Yang Feng was sent in the second half.
Yang Feng scored one goal in each of the two games, helping the team defeat and draw with Real Madrid respectively, and finally won the Chinese Division Championship.
It was an insignificant game in the first place. This trophy will not even be included in Manchester City's honor book this year. For Yang Feng, this game means more about returning home in glory, and at the same time, it also allows the world to see the fanaticism of Chinese fans. .
The real appetizer of the season is, of course, the European Super Cup.
The opponent is still Sevilla.
This game created a new piece of history: the two teams are the defending champions of the Champions League and Europa League respectively.
"...Manchester City successfully defended the Champions League, and Sevilla also won the Europa League for the second consecutive season. At Cardiff's Millennium Stadium last season, Manchester City won the game 3-1. This season, both teams won the UEFA Champions League. The teams meet again on a narrow road, and Sevilla will definitely hope to avenge their shame, but we all know that it will not be easy..."
"Okay, the game is about to start, let's take a look at the main lineups of both sides."
"Manchester City still plays the usual 4-2-2-2.
Pellegrini was very bold and actually sent two newly joined players in such an important game. I hope these two young full-backs can withstand the pressure and bring Manchester City their first championship this season. .
Goalkeeper: 1-Oblak;
Defenders: 2-Welchier, 4-Kompany, 6-Van Dijk, 3-Cancelo;
Midfielder: 21-Silva, 17-De Bruyne, 8-Kros, 7-Kante;
Forwards: 16-Aguero, 9-Yang Feng. "
"Sevilla 4-2-3-1.
Goalkeeper: 13-Beto;
Defenders: 23-Koke, 3-Lami, 4-Krychowiak, 2-Terry Mullina;
Midfielder: 7-Cron Deli, 19-Banega, 10-Reyes, 8-Yin Pola, 20-Vitolo;
Forward: 9-Gameiro. "
"The game has started. For Sevilla, they must concentrate all their attention from the first second, because the fastest goal record in the European Super Cup was set by Yang Feng. At that time, he was still in the Europa League. Participating as a champion, at the 1st minute and 5th minute of the game...what did I say? This is it?"
The game kicks off with Manchester City.
Aguero passed the ball back, and after receiving the ball, Kanter pretended to split the ball. After deceiving Gameiro who was trying to grab the ball, he suddenly dribbled forward with the ball, and then kicked a through ball near the midline.
Yang Feng caught the ball sideways and passed the ball between Vitolo's legs.
Before Yin Pola could fall to the ground to tackle, Yang Feng had already brought the ball forward and quickly poked the ball forward again.
Another crotch penetration...
Lamy, who was directly opposite, could no longer wait for the support of his teammates, so he had no choice but to rush forward, but Yang Feng's right foot was as fast as lightning, and he poked him with his toe when he was approaching.
He originally thought it was a passing ball, but before his feet could step out, the football had already passed under his crotch.
"After more than ten seconds, Yang Feng passed through the crotch three times in a row, preparing to enter the penalty area... hit the goal! Goal!!! The goalkeeper was helpless in the face of such a shot! 52 seconds! Yang Feng once again He broke his own record and improved the record for the fastest goal by a full minute!"
"This is Young's third time participating in the European Super Cup, and he has scored every time. He is the well-deserved and absolute king of this cup!"
