Chapter 647 The dirtiest forward in the Premier League
August 26, the third round of the Premier League.
Baggio was unwell, but Torres' performance was mediocre.
Deng Kai passed the shot.
Adriano scored consecutively.
Fabregas, who came on the bench, sent a wonderful assist to help forward Villa, who came on the bench, complete the victory.
Manchester City narrowly beat Wolves 3-2.
Among them, Desailly's performance was an important reason why the team conceded two goals in a row.
Desailly's form has declined significantly this season.
But in comparison, the media were even more surprised by the speed of integration of Manchester City's new players.
In this regard, Deng Kai said: "Whether it is Fabregas or Villa, David Silva, Mascherano, they are all very good players."
"They are very adaptable to the environment and tactics."
"I think we have made preparations in all aspects, and we hope to bring a perfect season to the fans!"
Most media believe that Deng Kai is just bragging about his teammates as usual to help them increase their confidence.
After all, Wolves are currently the bottom team in the Premier League and are also the newly promoted team this season.
After almost losing a point to such a team, Manchester City really dare to brag?
…
August 30th, the fourth round of the Premier League.
Manchester City challenge Bolton Wanderers away.
Bolton were ruined by Jardell for half the season last year and fell into the relegation zone.
After selling Jardel in the winter window, they immediately ushered in a new life and successfully avoided relegation.
Now Jardell is said to have been relegated to the bench role again under his new club.
It's only been a month since the competition started.
I have to say, this is really magical.
That is to say, in the first two years, Jardel was the winner of the European Golden Boot, Silver Boot, Bronze Boot, three consecutive Portuguese Super League titles, and three consecutive Portuguese Super League Golden Boots!
His biggest problem is that he chose the wrong league and team.
The Premier League has a fierce style of play, with long passes and lobs being used all year round. The defensive players are very good at destroying the football. The passers are not delicate enough to send wonderful passes to Jardel like Deco.
If Jardel goes to Ligue 1 or Bundesliga at this stage, it will be another story.
Even when he went to Serie A, he actually had some trouble.
Because although the level of Serie A defenders is high, Serie A's defense pays attention to integrity and focuses on restriction, rather than the Premier League, which focuses on destruction and one-on-one combat.
In this game, Manchester City still used their regular lineup.
However, Essien was injured in training, so Mascherano got the chance.

Baggio, Ade, Ribery
Deng Kai, Mascherano, Toure
Lahm, Chiellini, Desailly, Maicon
Cech

But in the fourth minute, Desailly received a yellow card for uprooting his opponent.
His game attitude is quite positive and his defense is tough.
But the decline in physical condition is an indisputable fact.
His speed and burst, especially his turning speed, have obvious flaws.
From a competitive perspective, he is no longer suitable for playing.
Even Desailly himself had not thought of this.
He originally thought he could still live for two years.
In the ninth minute, Deng Kai ducked down the wing and then successfully cut inside and shot with an outside instep.
Ribery made a flying shovel shot, but it was a pity that it missed the ball and failed to touch the ball.
Twelfth minute.
Maicon cooperated with Ribery on the wing, passed the ball to Ribery, and pulled the opponent's defensive player away.
Ribery faked a pass to Maicon, shook off the defender in front of him, and then hit a cross.
Deng Kai shot a long shot from the midfielder in the penalty area and passed Yang with a hundred steps, opening the scoring for the team.
Sixteenth minute.
After Toure received Deng Kai's return pass, he penetrated the opponent's defense with a through ball.
Adriano carried the opponent's center back and fired a shot, but the ball was blocked by another center back.
But then the center back fell to the ground and was eventually carried off the field on a stretcher.
Ade destroyed one of the opponent's main central defenders with one kick.
The aesthetics of violence are evident.
Twenty-nine minutes.
Baggio went straight to look for Ade from the wing, but was cleared by the opponent's center back and kicked back to the midfield.
Toure had a fierce fight with his opponent.
Mascherano has quick eyes and quick feet. He took the opportunity to poke the football away, launched a counterattack and passed the ball to Deng Kai.
After receiving the ball, Deng Kai continued to rock on his bicycle.
boom!
While cycling, Deng Kai tipped his toe and hoisted the football into the left side of the opponent's penalty area.
Adriano broke into the penalty area, jumped high and hit the ball with a header.
Franck Ribery flew over and rushed into the goal with the ball.
"Goal! Two to zero! The game has entered Manchester City's rhythm."
"Deng Kai's pick-up pass is so wonderful that people can't tell when he will pass the ball, let alone where he will pass the ball!"
“Only Deng Kai’s former teammate Ronaldinho, who conquered Camp Nou, can compare with Deng Kai in terms of the ease and freedom of passing the ball.”
Thirty-four minutes.
Adriano did it back.
Center back Chiellini rushed forward and shot a long shot that missed slightly.
Manchester City's army presses on the border.
Bolton collapsed across the board.
Forty-one minutes.
Maicon and Ribery work together.
This time it was Ribery who made the move, and Maicon pulled at the right corner of the penalty area.
Ribery swung his left leg, seemingly passing the ball, but actually spiked the ball further down the court.
Then he made a pass with his right heel.
boom!
The football flew into the penalty area.
Adriano in the penalty area ran forward and attracted the defense.
Deng Kai came in from the middle and was almost undefended.
Directly hitting the head, like a bull hitting, heading the ball towards the goal.
"Three to zero! Deng Kai scored twice!"
"It's so easy! Bolton are in complete chaos!"
"Manchester City's pulling and running in the frontcourt is too complicated, and Bolton can't keep up at all."
"How can they forget about a super player who scored 34 goals last season?"
It wasn't until the 45th minute that Bolton successfully launched a counterattack.
But sometimes once is enough.
The Bolton striker took a shot from Desailly's back pocket.
Cech's vision was partially blocked by Desailly and he failed to predict the opponent's shooting route.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that the opponent's shot was exciting enough.
The player who scored this goal was forward Kevin Davis, who had just transferred to Bolton from Millwall.
He has played for Southampton, Blackburn and other teams in the past.
This player is very daring to fight and plays very tough, especially when fighting for the ball, he is risking his life.
If nothing else happens, in the next two or three seasons, he will become one of the "dirtiest" players in the Premier League. He commits a lot of fouls and is the forward who causes the most injuries to defenders.
During the halftime break, Deng Kai found Desailly and asked him how he was doing.
Should we switch positions with Chiellini or something?
Desailly knew that he was not performing well and bluntly stated that if the team wanted to replace him, he would accept it.
But in the end, Maxa did not make any substitutions in the midfield.
They gave the former Chelsea and France double captain plenty of respect.
Fifty-six minutes.
Desailly made a mistake in catching the ball. In order to make up for his mistake, he pulled the opponent down and almost received another yellow card.
Bolton players complained because they believed Desailly should have two yellows and one red.
In the end, Kevin Davis hit a high-quality free kick and almost changed the score again.
Fortunately, Cech showed his bravery and blocked the ball that crossed the wall.
Sixty-three minutes.
Kevin Davis pulled wide and sent a through ball.
The Bolton midfielder advanced forward, spiking the ball at the front of the penalty area and easily deflected Desailly, and then kicked the ball towards the goal.
Chiellini brought down the opponent with a sliding tackle.
Although he touched the football early, the referee still pointed to the penalty spot.
Yellow dot set meal!
Then Kevin Davis scored from the penalty spot, scoring twice and chasing the score to 3-2.
