Wang Ai did not refuse the favor, especially if he could exchange it for something. But he didn’t expect Mansour to have anything he needed, so he put the matter on hold for the time being. Anyway, it would take a whole season to start.
, and by then there may be some changes, such as Real Madrid suddenly not wanting him or something.
On the morning of the 12th, Wang Ai traveled south with the Manchester City team and arrived at the Cardiff Stadium in Wales, also known as the National Stadium of Wales. After simply adapting to the venue, he returned to the hotel. Some teammates met to hang out, but Pellegrini didn't care. Wang Ai
I was a little tempted, but after thinking about it again and again, I gave up.
It's like observing the precepts, which I have observed all these years.
At 19:00 in the evening, the whole team set off and arrived at the stadium. After the routine was completed, it was already 19:40. Wang Ai walked out of the player tunnel in the middle of the queue. The little caddy assigned to him today was a girl, and his small hand was placed in Wang Ai's big hand.
She was trembling a little, and from time to time she looked up and peeked at Wang Ai.
Then, he stumbled unexpectedly.
As the biggest star in the game, Wang Aiben was the focus of attention. Many Welsh fans who came to watch the game today came to him. As a result, the female ball boy fell, and the surroundings burst into laughter.
In the midst of the noise, Wang Ai knelt down and looked at her with gentle and concerned eyes. The little girl shook her head and stood up firmly. Wang Ai smiled and stood up, stretched out her hand again, and the two of them joined hands and returned to the queue.
At 19:45, the game officially started.
Today's Sevilla team went all out, with high morale, passing and receiving the ball very quickly, and running very actively. From the beginning, it was difficult for Manchester City to parry. Even Wang Ai did not expect that the opponent was so excited. After he returned to the half-way
When the ball was returned from the field, it was destroyed several times by the opponent's unexpected actions.
Unlike the busy summer of Manchester City, a luxury team, Sevilla, the king of the Europa League, had a leisurely summer and spent it preparing for the new season. Two days ago, Manchester City's sluggish and depressing performance in the Community Shield inspired even more excitement.
Their confidence comes today because they want to teach the Champions League champions a lesson.
Manchester City's chaotic situation lasted until the 20th minute of the first half before it eased slightly. During this period, although Sevilla did not break through Manchester City's goal, it firmly held Manchester City unable to move in the half. In addition, the Asian
Arture was injured and left the field shortly after the start. Wang Ai had to respond to Pellegrini's request and temporarily return to the half-field to defend as a defensive midfielder, leaving Dzeko and others alone in the front half. Starting website
After observing that Sevilla's offensive had paused and that his side had stabilized, Pellegrini signaled from the sidelines that Wang Ai moved his position back to the opponent's half, ready to support the attack. But he never thought that after he just left,
The field was missed. Speaking of which, it was a coincidence. Navas accidentally handed the ball while fighting for the ball with his opponent in the center circle. While the Manchester City players were still negotiating with the referee, Sevilla made a quick move and sent a through ball to the goal.
Penalty area. Previously, Wang Ai was nearby. With his height, long legs and large control area, it was difficult for Sevilla to pass so easily. But just after Wang Ai left, Manchester City's defensive system had not yet fully adapted, so the opponent used a small amount of cooperation in the penalty area.
The second sophomore got a single shot and finally hit a low shot.
The Chilean took a deep breath on the sidelines: I don’t want to be the disgrace of the Champions League and lose to the Europa League!
The difficult situation prompted the Chilean to make up his mind. He felt that it was stupid to let Wang Ai play as a defensive midfielder just now. Manchester City's defense system had already been formed and would not collapse because of the lack of a Yaya Toure, but Wang Ai's intrusion
But it disrupted everyone's rhythm. After all, he had never really played the key role in the defense at Manchester City.
With the Chilean's repeated shouting and obvious black face, Manchester City's big stars finally cheered up. After Wang Ai returned to the center to open up the space in front, Silva was obviously active, and Dzeko also frequently penetrated the outside wing.
***The game situation was restored little by little.
But at this moment, Sevilla actually scored again. This was a quick penetration from the wing. The Manchester City full-back made a low-level mistake for some unknown reason, causing the opponent to directly penetrate into the penalty area. When the goalkeeper attacked, the opponent was very brave.
He hit the goal directly, and the football bounced off the goalkeeper's legs and into the goal.
Seeing this, Wang Ai, who was in the middle of the frontcourt, stood there helplessly and wiped his face, surrounded by cheering Sevilla players.
At this time, in the living room of a high-end villa area in London, Terry and Lampard were gathering together to watch the game and drink beer. Terry already knew full well that Lampard was leaving.
He also clearly understood the calculations, the positions of all parties, and the interests. Before Lampard was about to leave for the United States to make a symbolic appearance, Terry invited him to his home to watch the game together.
It's both farewell and outlook. After all, Lampard's next stop will be to meet up with his old friend wiwi.
After Sevilla scored the second goal and the live broadcast camera showed a close-up of Wang Ai, Terry laughed out loud: "Does the TV station want to tell us that he is not omnipotent?"
Lampard put one leg on the coffee table in front of him and commented in a very loose manner: "He is not really omnipotent, he still has to rely on the system. Didn't you notice that his teammates didn't pass the ball to him very much?
?”
Terry turned back and looked at Lampard: "Didn't you hear there was a problem? I contacted Milner a few days ago."
Lampard picked up the bottle, shook his head and took a sip, then put down the bottle and said slowly: "Manchester City shouldn't have won the Champions League last season. They were not ready. Wang brought it to them. I mean, although
They have the strength, but they don’t have the mental fighting spirit. In fact, they didn’t have enough fighting spirit when they won the championship. It’s because Wang’s attack power was too strong, which covered up many problems.”
Terry nodded thoughtfully: "That is to say, because of our mutual friend's ability, Manchester City's growth has been promoted, but what does this have to do with the present?"
"They." Lampard pointed to the blue jersey on the TV casually: "They don't have the heart to be strong. They get carried away after accidentally winning the championship. If we didn't lose the Community Shield two days ago, we would have lost, and at least we would have lost.
Three. It was our friends who gathered confidence after coming on the scene and saved them personally, but this once again covered up the problem."
Speaking of this, Lampard looked up at the ceiling: "Just like winter, if something delays the pace of winter, then when winter really comes, it will only be more fierce."
"Is that right now?" Terry asked.
Lampard shrugged: "They think they are okay. Sevilla is not as good as Arsenal. This is a game that can be won easily without a king. So you see, even if a goal is conceded, even if the start is so embarrassing,
They still tend to do it themselves when they attack."
Terry was silent for a while after hearing this: "Well, Frank, can you not go?"
