It will be a while before the game is played, so the players are just chatting casually now, Yang Fan is chatting happily with Tevez, and the two of them will start together today. (Net)

Robinho didn't talk to anyone, his face was gloomy and he sat there sulking alone.

"In this game, you let Robinho play on the bench, he may be a little unhappy?" assistant coach Brian whispered to Mark Hughes.

Mark Hughes's eyes looked at Robinho, his brows furrowed, he was even more dissatisfied with Robinho than he was a little dissatisfied with Yang Fan. At the very least, Yang Fan's attitude in training and competitions has nothing to say, even Mark Hughes, who is not very satisfied with Yang Fan's 'entertainment scandal', has to admit it. Robinho, on the other hand, had problems throughout the summer training camp, first failing to return on time, and then having a falling out, which was intolerable to the strict Marquet Hughes.

"It's good to let him calm down on the bench. Mark Hughes said.

"You didn't talk to him beforehand?"

"What is the communication? With his current state and attitude, is there anything he shouldn't do on the bench?" Mark Hughes made no secret of his displeasure with Robinho.

Assistant coach Brian smiled and didn't say anything more, as an assistant coach he just did his duty to remind, since the head coach said so, he naturally shut up.

Of course, Robinho was the first big-name star brought in by Manchester City, and he was still happy with Mark Hughes last season, and when he thought of this, he softened his tone: "Find a chance, I'll talk to him well...... But not now. ”

As Manchester City's biggest star last season, he gradually fell out of favor in the second half of last season, and with this summer, Manchester City is vigorously introducing more stars, especially the arrival of Yang Fan, which has made the former Real Madrid star feel disappointed, and now, Robinho seems to be a little out of place with most people in the dressing room, he is sitting quietly in the corner alone, thinking about something with a dark face just now, and is listening to music with headphones at this time.

Manchester City's starting line-up for this game has changed dramatically from last season.

Mark Hughes uses the new team's Yang Fan and Tevez's partners in the forward line, although both of them are newcomers, but, when they were at Manchester United, the two often partnered together in the front line, and there was a natural tacit understanding in the cooperation. Yang Fan had already booked a main position, in this case, Tevez, who has a good relationship with Yang Fan and has a tacit understanding, has a natural advantage, in the media's prediction, Manchester City's starting striker partner this season may basically be fixed Yang Fan and Tevez as a pairing. (Net)

In midfield, Gareth Barry was on the left midfield, and on the right midfield, Mark Hughes opted for his favorite Wright Phillips. Two in the middle of the midfield, Frenkie de Jong and Ireland.

At centre-back, a new pair of Kompany and Kolo Toure were the starters.

The left-back is Bridge, and the right-back is Richards, who has been trained in the Manchester City Academy.

Goalkeeper is Given, Manchester City have loaned out last season's young starting goalkeeper Joe Hart, who will occupy the starting goalkeeper position this season, while England third international Taylor will be Given's replacement.

Ireland international Givens is the oldest in the team. And his experience with another veteran, Patrick Vieira, is particularly important in the young Manchester City squad.

In fact, in Mark Hughes's mind, in addition to Wright Phillips, the veteran Givens is also one of the most suitable candidates to captain the team.

※※※※※※※

Players from both sides played.

Seeing Yang Fan wearing the captain's armband and being the first to appear, this immediately caused a noise in the media seats and the commentary seats.

"Yang Fan wore the captain's armband for Manchester City, which was a bit of a surprise to us. With Richard Dunn leaving, the best candidate for captain should be a veteran like Given. To be honest, I don't think about Yang Fan as the captain at all, yes, he is the biggest star of Manchester City now, and he is the banner of Manchester City, but he is really not suitable for the captain now, he is too young, and his personality is not suitable...... I don't understand why Mark Hughes made such a decision...... To be honest, seeing Yang Fan become the captain of Manchester City, I really want to say, it's really worrying!"

The commentator made a big call, and there was only one main idea, that is, he questioned Yang Fan's identity as the captain. Because it was an away game, the vast majority of Manchester City fans were not able to watch the game live, they could only watch the game on Guò TV, and they had been looking forward to this game for a long time, this was Yang Fan's first Premier League game for Manchester City, and it was a memorable game.

At this moment, countless Manchester City fans are watching the game in front of the TV, and when they hear the commentator's words, the Manchester City fans feel that the commentator is too noisy and even says nonsense that has nothing to do with the game. He is the biggest star of our Manchester City team, the biggest star of the entire Premier League, the most powerful striker in the entire football world, he is the banner of the Manchester City team, this is the star who wants to lead Manchester City to create a new era, the team chose him as the captain, and our fans are very supportive! What are you talking about!

Manchester City fans are really not too surprised to see Yang Fan become the captain of the team, they have accepted Yang Fan's banner status in Manchester City from the bottom of their hearts, and Manchester City fans have reason to refute the commentator's words, Yang Fan has not been a captain, two years ago, when Yang Fan was only 20 years old, he was the captain of Wolfsburg, and he was the youngest captain in the Bundesliga at that time. So, the commentator talked about age and personality, and the fans didn't like it, and they didn't accept it.

Of course, this is the support and preference of Manchester City fans for Yang Fan, standing in a neutral position, the commentator's words still make sense. The commentator is gold medal commentator Eddie Gray, who has been the commentator for Manchester City for most of the season. As for the other gold medal commentator Mortensen, he is responsible for the commentary task of Manchester United's game, this commentator is a die-hard fan of Yang Fan, and I believe that Manchester City fans must be hoping that Mortensen will explain Manchester City's game.

This is Blackburn's home stadium and it is the first game of the new season, and Blackburn manager Martin O'Neill is naturally hoping that his team can take the initiative in this game, win the game and start the season with a win.

So, as soon as the game began, Blackburn used the opportunity to kick off first to put pressure on Manchester City's goal, and they wanted to score early. Manchester City is a famous nervous knife team in the Premier League, this team plays the wind very well, once Manchester City takes the initiative, Manchester City can often win very beautifully, but once Manchester City falls into passivity, they often collapse, so Martin O'Neill's tactics for Blackburn Rovers is to put pressure on Manchester City at the beginning of the game, and strive to score early! Let Manchester City, a team with a lot of emotions, be destroyed by conceding goals.

Martin O'Neill, of course, knows who is the most dangerous in the Manchester City team, and he has already arranged a personal bodyguard for Yang Fan: Irish defender Andrews.

The Irish midfielder made his attitude clear from the start of the game - I'm in touch with you, Yang Fan!

A Blackburn attack ended with Diouf's long-range shot being held by Manchester City goalkeeper Given, who threw the ball in his hand to launch the attack, and the ball reached Yang Fan's feet after a few passes.

Yang Fan received the ball, he adjusted slightly, ready to dribble forward, and Andrews was like a wolf looking for food. Quickly pasted it up.

Foul.

Andrews takes down Yang Fan.

Yang Fan was lying on the ground, he looked up at Andrews, who was also looking at him with provocative eyes, as if to say: This is a dismount, are you still satisfied?!

Andrews wanted to provoke Yang Fan. Martin O'Neal explained to Andrews in his tactical analysis that Yang Fan is a young man with a fiery personality who can't stand provocation. At this time, looking at this Chinese who was put to the ground by himself, Andrews was most anxious that Yang Fan was provoked by him and jumped up to give him a punch, so that he would complete the task and take this Chinese down.

Then, Andrews was surprised, he saw that Yang Fan had gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, but he soothed his fists and actually smiled.

Yang Fan got up, grabbed the captain's armband on his arm, and then grinned at Andrews as if he were a beast showing its teeth.

Because of the responsibility brought by the captain's armband, can you hold back your anger?!Andrews looked at the back of Yang Fan running to the front court, thoughtful.

※※※※※※※

Tevez ran to show his concern for his partner, "Are you alright?"

Yang Fan shook his head and said that he was fine, he had long been accustomed to such a so-called foul like getting off the horse, and the Blackburn player thought that this would make him afraid?

On Blackburn's side, Danish defender Jacobsen also came over to ask Andrews.

"You're trying to provoke that kid?"

"He wasn't fooled. "But I'll continue, and I don't believe he can hold back." ”

"Be careful, boy...... I've heard a few things about him, his first game for Manchester United last season caused a brawl. ”

Andrews laughed, clearly unimpressed. Jacobson continued, "I'm not kidding. At that time, the game between Manchester United and Portsmouth was fought, and he was beaten down several times, with two concussions and a broken nose. Andrews's face changed, and he took a deep breath.
