Chapter 673: Seven consecutive wins in the Premier League, leading the way!
Li Chuanqi's injury condition improved rapidly and he started recovery training three days later.
His teammates joked and asked him to continue his training.
Li Chuanqi also joked: "How dare you continue to cultivate? If you continue to cultivate, you will no longer have a place when you come back."
Everyone laughed.
The atmosphere in Manchester City is indeed good now. Under the leadership of Guardiola, it is full of energy and excitement.
Li Chuanqi likes this atmosphere very much.
The Champions League group stage has begun, and Manchester City has officially entered a two-front battle mode.
The health of every player will affect the team's final results.
On September 29, the seventh round of the Premier League begins.
Manchester City faces Brighton at home this round.
Manchester City has only one goal - seven consecutive Premier League wins!
Since the second game of the Champions League group stage will be played after this game, Guardiola did not give Li Chuanqi a chance to play, and did not even include him in the squad.
This caused media reporters to talk a lot:
"Didn't you say it would be fine in just one week? Why didn't you even make the squad?"
"So... Li's injury is not what Manchester City said, he only needs to rest for a week!"
"...It is also possible that he was anxious to get back to health and ended up getting injured again during training."
"Well, there is such a possibility!"
"It may also be that Li has indeed recovered, but in order to play well in the Champions League, he is allowed to continue to rest."
"Well, I think this possibility is very high. Guardiola is setting off a smoke bomb!"
At 8pm on the 29th, the match between Manchester City and Brighton officially started.
Li Chuanqi held his son and sat with his family to watch the game.
From the beginning of the game, Manchester City firmly controlled the ball and continued to put pressure on Brighton's defense.
In the 39th minute of the first half, Manchester City's efforts finally paid off. Seat B organized an attack. Sterling made a pass from the left, and Aguero grabbed the spot and shot in front of the goal.
One to zero!
Manchester City entered the second half with a one-goal lead.
After the start of the second half, Manchester City continued to rely on their home advantage and overall strength advantage to put pressure on Brighton's defense.
Brighton also gradually adapted to Manchester City's rhythm and launched a defensive counterattack. Their counterattack was very fast and almost succeeded twice!
This made Manchester City fans break into a cold sweat.
Looking back at Manchester City's offense, although there were many attacks and opportunities, they were unable to score again.
In the 29th minute of the second half, Manchester City played a wonderful pass and control in front of the opponent's penalty area, tearing apart Brighton's defense through quick and consecutive passes.
Seat B made a diagonal pass, and the football plane flew to the left rib of Brighton's penalty area!
Sterling rushed over, got ahead of the opponent's defender, and pushed the ball!
When Manchester City fans were about to cheer for the goal, Football unexpectedly fired anti-aircraft cannons!
"coax!……"
There was a huge cry of regret at the Etihad Stadium.
Damn it, if it were Li who completed this shot, he would definitely be a sure shot!
Manchester City fans shook their heads helplessly and sighed.
Damn...I can't even grasp this kind of opportunity.
Guardiola held his head in frustration and had the urge to replace Sterling.
"Dad, he kicked so bad!"
Xiaopingan looked up at Li Chuanqi's chin.
Li Chuanqi kissed his little face gently: "That's...if it was dad, this goal would definitely be scored!"
In front of his son, Li Chuanqi wanted to establish a glorious and majestic image.
Xiaopingan looked at Li Chuanqi with admiration.
The game continued, Brighton once again made a wonderful counterattack, forward Murray fired a low shot from the right side of the penalty area, and the football went straight to the lower right corner of the goal!
Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson stepped forward in the face of danger and bravely saved the ball from the bottom line!
"coax!……"
The Etihad Stadium sounded loud again.
Manchester City fans shook their heads and then burst into applause.
Guardiola was obviously a little anxious and shouted at the midfielder.
Damn it, why was it penetrated by the opponent like this?
He regretted his decision a little. He should have put Li Chuanqi on the big list. Even if he was only given ten minutes, as long as he could seize one opportunity, the situation would be stable.
A one-goal lead made Manchester City uneasy, and Brighton's counterattack was very sharp and could equalize the score at any time.
In the 42nd minute of the second half, Manchester City once again created an opportunity. David Silva cut in from the left, then shot a through ball and the football flew into the penalty area!
Aguero flew forward and just controlled the ball with his right foot. The Brighton defender made a mistake and knocked him down.
"Beep!..."
The referee blew his whistle and pointed his right hand at the penalty spot.
Penalty kick!
Everyone in Manchester City finally breathed a sigh of relief. The score of 1-0 was too painful.
Aguero made the hit himself!
Two to zero!
Aguero scored twice.
Thunderous applause erupted at the Etihad Stadium.
In the end, Manchester City defeated Brighton 2-0 at home with Aguero's brace and won their seventh consecutive Premier League victory.
Victory was expected, but the process was not that easy.
In an interview with the media after the game, Guardiola admitted that the team's ability to seize opportunities still needs to be improved: "We created a lot of scoring opportunities. I think this game should have established an advantage early, but the game was very stalemate.
.
Our ability to seize opportunities really needs to be improved.”
The fact that Li Chuanqi was not included in the squad was the focus of reporters' attention.
Guardiola thought for a while and replied: "Lee has returned to health, but I don't want to take risks, so I let him rest in this game. Compared to the Premier League, I think the Champions League is more important."
This has been made very clear. Guardiola wants Li Chuanqi to focus on the Champions League.
Reporters were skeptical.
It's not like setting off smoke bombs...
…
The strong dialogue in this round of competition takes place between Chelsea and Liverpool, which is also the focus of this round of competition.
Chelsea plays Liverpool at home.
The focus battle was very stalemate and tense.
Chelsea took the lead in the 25th minute. Kovacic sent a direct pass. Hazard broke into the penalty area and got a chance to shoot low into the far corner.
One to zero!
Chelsea had the upper hand.
This is Hazard's seventh goal in eight games this season, including six of eight shots in the Premier League!
This efficiency is really amazing.
In the next game, Liverpool launched a crazy counterattack.
Liverpool equalized the score in the 44th minute of the second half. Shaqiri made a cross and Sturridge shot the ball from more than 20 meters from the left!
The football enters the upper right corner!
One to one!
Liverpool magically equalized the score towards the end of the game.
In the end, the two sides tied one to one.
Liverpool's winning streak in the Premier League also came to an abrupt end.
Manchester City takes the lead with its impressive record of seven consecutive victories!
The seventh round of the Premier League is over, and fans have turned their attention back to the Champions League.
Of course, what Manchester City fans are most concerned about is whether Li Chuanqi can make a comeback in the Champions League?
Since the start of this season, Manchester City has achieved an impressive record of complete victories on all fronts, which has given Manchester City fans hope of winning multiple championships.
Of course, what they value most is the Premier League and the Champions League, and they hope to succeed in these two championships.
The Premier League strives to successfully defend its title, and the Champions League hopes to make a breakthrough, at least better than the last two seasons.
This is the change in mentality that Li Chuanqi brought to them, and they became more "greedy"!
