The morning after the competition, everything was restorative training.
After beating Chelsea last night and jumping to the top of the Premier League standings, Manchester City's confidence has soared.
When did Manchester City top the table?
In the traceable past, it seems that it has never happened before, right?
After two consecutive years of high investment, Manchester City has finally seen some hope, especially since it has defeated three strong teams in six rounds so far, which is enough to prove the gold content of this Manchester City winning streak.
Six consecutive wins, this is indeed eye-catching enough.
The players chatted with each other on the training ground. Everyone seemed to be in a good mood and very relaxed.
This is the atmosphere after winning.
If we had lost last night, everyone would probably have a layer of frost scratched off their faces by now.
…
Su Dong walked out of the medical room accompanied by personal trainers Nuno Cruz and Grant Downing, as well as Manchester City team doctor.
Everyone's attention was immediately attracted to their group.
Even though Su Dong performed the best, the outside media almost praised him. But on the contrary, he was also the most violated, and he even had injuries all the time.
This is considered normal for professional players, especially Premier League players. After all, there are too many physical confrontations and it is impossible not to get injured. It’s just that Su Dong’s personal coaching team is too professional. If there is the slightest situation, they will make an immediate decision.
He has to deal with it, and sometimes even prevents him from participating in the competition, which is why he is protected so well.
During his time at Bayern Munich, the miracle doctor Wolfart said more than once that he didn't need to worry about Su Dong at all, because Su Dong had an excellent team to provide him with round-the-clock, all-round protection.
Su Dong's high attendance rate over the years is due to this.
…
"How's it going?" Pepe and others gathered around.
Others also came closer one after another, all surrounding Su Dong.
"It's nothing serious. It's just that the previous injury has not healed and I'm a little sore." Su Dong said nonchalantly.
I say that, but in fact everyone knows that the bodies of professional players are the most sensitive.
For ordinary people, a slight soreness in the legs is not a problem because it will not affect daily life such as walking, but for professional players, this is not the case at all.
There is a conditioned reflex mechanism in human bones, which makes players very sensitive to their bodies. The slightest difference will affect the completion of players' technical movements.
Su Dong's legs were really scarred. He had been violated countless times over the years, and he was used to it.
However, there has never been a serious injury, which is something to be very proud of.
This definitely does not come from his body's injury-resistant genes, but from his training and the scientific protection of his personal coaching team. Therefore, even after arriving at Manchester City, Guardiola's desire to control the team is extremely strong, but he still makes exceptions.
Allow Su Dong's private team to enter Carrington.
"Can we play in the Europa League in midweek?" Pepe asked again with concern.
This is Manchester City's second European game, against Juventus at home.
Everyone originally thought that Manchester City's strongest opponent in the group stage would be Juventus, but no one expected that Juventus performed very poorly this season, only ranking ninth in Serie A, and their results have plummeted.
, a bit like the Serie A version of Liverpool.
On the contrary, Lech Poznan from Poland was quite surprising. They tied with Juventus 3-3 in the first round, which was a bit impressive.
Manchester City defeated Red Bull Salzburg in the first game. If they can defeat Juventus in the second game, the situation in the group will be much better.
More importantly, the next weekend's game against Newcastle was also a tough battle.
Su Dong now really feels the pressure of the Premier League.
This is because Manchester City was eliminated from the League Cup. Otherwise, they would have to play in the League Cup again, and the pressure would be even greater.
The main reason is that the Premier League's financial resources are too strong.
With such a huge share of broadcast fees every year, even a relegated team can afford a lineup with a certain level of strength. The gap between the teams is not too big, so the competition is very fierce and the competition is very fierce.
cruel.
After the decline of Serie A, looking at European football, which league is like the Premier League?
The La Liga is Real Madrid and Barcelona, the Bundesliga is Bayern, and there is only the Premier League.
Manchester City currently leads the league with 18 points, followed by Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal all showing strong strength.
For the time being, they have indeed opened a certain gap with Manchester City, but the league has just begun. In the long run, they will catch up sooner or later. On the contrary, Liverpool has really stretched their hips this season. After six rounds of games,
, ranked 16th, close to the relegation zone.
And even if a team like Newcastle is ranked tenth, is it weak?
They can lose to Manchester United 0-3 away from home, they can beat Aston Villa 6-0 at home, they can beat Everton 1-0 away from home, they can also lose to Blackpool 0-2 at home.
Although the Magpies are no longer the Premier League giants they once were, their overall strength should not be underestimated, but their performance is a bit shaky.
Su Dong saw the concern of his teammates around him, which was obviously not only worried about his physical injury, but also worried about his possible absence, because everyone knows that so far, most of Manchester City's goals have been scored by
Created by Su Dong.
Sky Sports has mentioned before that Su Dong has created 19 goals this season, ranking third in the Premier League scoring list.
"Don't worry, don't worry, it's okay!"
When Su Dong was comforting his teammates, he suddenly saw a thin figure leading a child from the youth team in the distance, sneaking into the first team's training area and hiding in the training ground, as if trying to
Enter the first team locker room.
Isn’t that kid at the head Raheem Sterling?
And the one at the back...
"Sterling!" Su Dong suddenly shouted.
When the two kiddies in the distance heard the shouting, they immediately stopped and did not dare to take another half step forward.
"Come here!" Su Dong waved.
I saw Sterling wave his hand placatingly towards the little caddy named Phil, as if to tell him, it's okay, don't be afraid, I'll take care of them, you wait for me here.
"Hey, hey, captain." Sterling ran over and greeted with a smile.
As a young player, Sterling still respects the team captain and the main players of the first team.
Fortunately, in Manchester City, if you are in other Premier League giants, a lot of things are reserved for you as a newcomer, including helping the main players to shine their shoes. They call this a boot room culture.
"Is that Phil?" Su Dong asked, pointing to little Phil in the distance.
"You know him?" Sterling was a little surprised.
"Nonsense, he is my caddy. I just met him last night." Su Dong pretended to be stern, but actually he wanted to change the subject.
These first-team players have a good impression of Sterling. The most important thing is that this kid smiles all day long. Anyone who sees him will feel in a good mood.
"Tell me, why did you bring him here?" Su Dong still looked very stern.
Peipei and others also suppressed their laughter, looking like people watching a good show.
Sterling was a little worried, hesitated for a while, and could only reply: "I promised him last night that I would take him into the first team locker room to have a look."
Hearing Su Dong's snort, Sterling screamed inwardly, and immediately explained everything in detail.
The first team players couldn't believe it the more they heard it.
On the one hand, it is the way Phil Foden behaves.
Damn, did you learn to "bribe" at a young age?
Is this something a ten-year-old kid should do?
There is a future!
If a kid like this could make it to the first team, how happy would it be for the seniors like them?
Of course, this is still too far away. We are only ten years old. How can we wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Year of the Horse?
On the other hand, Sterling is a little boy in the first team. He works hard and can be used by anyone. Unexpectedly, after going to the youth training academy, he turned out to be a boss-level figure. Not bad.
Everyone burst into laughter immediately, thinking that these two brats were so funny, they were definitely geniuses!
"Captain, he is your most die-hard fan. In order to see you, he spent all the pocket money he had saved for two years. I was deeply moved by him, so I decided to help him fulfill this wish.
Take him to the first team to have a look."
Everyone smiled.
Sterling, this guy talks half-truths, who knows?
The first team locker room is difficult for outsiders to enter, but for the youth team, there are not so many restrictions. Needless to say, Sterling must not only allow him to enter the first team locker room to have a look, this little thief
Very.
"Su, why do I feel like you are a young lady from the red light district after hearing what he said?" Marcelo suddenly said this.
Everyone was stunned and immediately burst into laughter.
Su Dong flew up and almost hit Marcelo.
Fortunately, the Brazilian left back runs fast, otherwise, with this kick, his butt would explode.
"I was wrong!" Marcelo ran away quickly.
Everyone laughed, even Sterling secretly glanced at Su Dong, finding it funny.
He is obviously a handsome guy, how can he be called a young lady from the red light district?
It should be said that...
Su Dong coughed and looked at Sterling again, "Go ahead and don't let me know you bullied him!"
Sterling was immediately overjoyed and nodded hurriedly.
He took advantage of Phil Foden for no reason, how could he bully him?
How could this knowledgeable little brother be willing to bully him before he even liked him?
Stop talking about him. If anyone bullies Foden in the future, Sterling will fight him!
Seeing Sterling running over and greeting Foden into the training building, Pepe also came to Su Dong's side and asked with a smile: "Tell me, do you miss us back then?"
Sterling is the most carefree now. He joined with a lot of money and has attracted the attention of everyone in Manchester City. The head coach Guardiola also favors him. He is popular and smiles with everyone he meets.
There is no competition with anyone.
In a few years, he will start to feel stressed.
Before he knew it, Su Dong was already twenty-six years old.
