MM Racing Chapter 141
Chapter 141
However, no matter how noisy the public opinion is, these have not affected Xu Ning.
On the second day of the draw ceremony, Xu Ning rushed to Lisbon to report to the national team to prepare for the next World Preliminary Round.
Because the hole dug for himself before was too deep, even with Xu Ning now, it was difficult to fill it.
In any case, Portugal already struggled to overtake Russia in points, so they had to go to the play-offs as second in the group.
This match against Northern Ireland was more like training for the play-offs, so he insisted that Xu Ning report for duty.
And the full body Portugal with full firepower, directly with a wild victory, announced to all potential play-off opponents that your unrivaled king has arrived.
Xu Ning scored twice, Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice, Nani and Moutinho also scored, and even Pepe scored with a corner.
The score of 7:0 is enough to prove the strength of Portugal.
Don't think that playing in the play-offs means that Portugal is not good.
Qualifier results are not everything.
Just like Spain many years ago, the qualifiers were simply invincible and were known as the king of qualifiers.
But as soon as it came to the main competition, it was the same and could not play at all.
Moreover, the reason why Portugal now wants to play in the play-offs is mainly because of their poor form before, which is not to blame Xu Ning.
The World Cup, I'm afraid it really depends on Portugal!
......
After the international break, the internationals of the clubs rushed back to the club for the next match.
For Manchester City, the next half month of the schedule is more devilish than the devil.
Two weeks, five games!
A week of double races has become a luxury.
Three league games, one Champions League group stage and one Carabao Cup.
Originally, the players returned to the national team to play a long time, and they are likely to fight to the death with their opponents, and the consumption will not be small.
Now it's such a dense schedule.
It's life-threatening!
Even if Manchester City have enough depth, it is difficult enough!
For this reason, Pellegrini had to resort to the maximum rotation to guarantee the fitness and fitness of all players.
In the fourth round of the Premier League, Manchester City played Stoke City.
Xu Ning and most of the main players sat on the bench, and even a few main players did not even enter the squad.
However, even if it is a substitute lineup, it is still the envy of many Premier League teams, and its strength is not weak at all.
Stoke City can still bring some threat to Manchester City in the first half, but in the second half, as Manchester City players gradually find their form, Stoke City will have no way to compete!
Sergio Aguero and Milner scored separate goals to essentially seal the win.
But no one expected that when there were ten minutes left before the end of the game, Pellegrini replaced Xu Ning, wanting him to find his form.
But Xu Ning is not reasonable at all!
After coming on, a wave of fast attacks successed two defenders, and finally scored a single goal, sealing the score at 3-0.
The Stoke City players are crying!
We've given up waiting for the game to end, and you're actually coming!
Don't talk about martial virtue!
However, everyone is actually accustomed to Xu Ning scoring directly after coming off the bench, and it is not surprising.
Next, Manchester City rushed to Scotland to prepare for the Champions League group stage against Celtic.
This time, Manchester City's attitude is very serious, and the main players who received the rotation in the last round have been placed in the starting line-up.
After all, it is the first game of the new Champions League season, and the opponent is not strong, so it is necessary to get off to a good start.
Of course, Manchester City will not be the main player.
Back in the league at the weekend, City will host city rivals Manchester United.
That's a crucial contest.
Perhaps for many Manchester City fans, it doesn't matter if the league doesn't win, as long as they can win Manchester United.
Xu Ning made his debut.
However, he was told that if the game went well, he would be substituted for about 60 minutes into the second half.
As a strategic-grade nuclear weapon, now Pellegrini must be cautious in using Xu Ning.
All Manchester City's plans to win the title are based on having Xu Ning.
But once Xu Ning is reimbursed for the season due to injury, then Manchester City can only resign themselves to fate.
Don't think that Xu Ning was not bothered by any injuries last season, which means that Xu Ning is not prone to injury.
This thing, very metaphysical, is difficult to say!
Therefore, the use of Xu Ning must be more reasonable and used in key occasions.
Anyway, Manchester City still has Dzeko and Aguero two central forwards, even if Xu Ning is not present, there is no worry about no offensive firepower.
This game against Celtic did not actually bring much consumption to Manchester City.
Relegation is not a big problem if the opponent Celtic win the Premier League, but it is a bit difficult to say how good they can achieve.
In the first half, Xu Ning and David Silva scored goals to give the team an easy lead.
Originally, Xu Ning was ready to rest as agreed in the second half, but just as Santa Cruz was warming up, Dzeko was actually tripped by his opponent in the box, and the referee decisively gave Manchester City a penalty.
Xu Ning said he was pleasantly surprised.
I didn't expect it to come to an end, and there was an unexpected gain.
Xu Ning was City's first penalty taker this season.
As long as he is on the field, penalties are taken by him.
He picked up the ball and put it on the penalty spot, and after the referee's whistle, he changed the score to 3-0.
Then, Xu Ningle ended happily.
It's a good feeling to be in Manchester City now.
Last season in Malaga, there weren't many times to rely on teammates.
But now, sometimes Xu Ning squats in the box, and his teammates can feed the ball to his mouth.
Not to mention the fact that penalties can be created now.
Against Celtic, it was almost a very attritional game, and the opponent obviously did not expect much from the result, so they did not fight Manchester City to the death.
In this way, Manchester City returned to Manchester unscathed.
And at the weekend, it will be a blockbuster showdown.
Manchester City will host arch-rivals Manchester United.
In the post-Ferguson era, Manchester United no longer have the capital to compete with Manchester City.
Feng shui takes turns and now is no longer the time for Manchester United fans to taunt Manchester City fans with impunity.
Ferguson's Manchester United, except for the 92nd class, is the strongest in the Cristiano Ronaldo period.
However, after Ronaldo's departure, as long as the soul Ferguson remains, Manchester United will still be the most competitive team.
But now that Ferguson has also retired, Moyes, who has no experience in coaching at all in the big clubs, has come to the top, and everything has changed.
At least Xu Ning was sorry.
Without being able to play against Alex Ferguson's Manchester United, Ferguson retired!
Since then, there will be no old lords in football!
This is probably the sad story of "Junsheng I am old"!
Before the game, public opinion was also hyped.
Despite a winless run in two Premier League rounds, United seem to be back in form in their most recent league game and a Champions League group stage, winning two in a row.
Perhaps this also gives Manchester United the confidence to face Manchester City.
