Manchester City's away match against Liverpool, the latest match to be played in the second round of the 2010/2011 Premier League, concludes all 10 matches between the 20 teams in the second round of the league.

Arsenal slaughtered promoted horse Blackpool 6-0, the result of this game was also a big surprise, because although Blackpool is a promoted horse, but the latter has just beaten Wigan Athletic 4-0 in the first round, the media once thought that Blackpool will be a potential dark horse in the Premier League this season, but I didn't expect that just a week later, Blackpool was tortured by Arsenal.

Chelsea, on the other hand, slaughtered Wigan Athletic 6-0, counting the 0-4 defeat to Blackpool in the first round of the league, it can be said that Wigan Athletic is definitely the saddest team after two rounds of the Premier League.

Manchester United, on the other hand, were held to a 2-2 draw away from Fulham.

Of course, the most interesting thing in this round of the league is the match between Manchester City and Liverpool.

Yang Fan's performance in the game was extremely dazzling, among Manchester City's five goals, Yang Fan scored three goals himself, scored a hat-trick, and Tevez's goal was also from Yang Fan's wonderful pass, the former world footballer of the year shrouded the entire Super League.

After the game, as the players celebrated the big win, Yang Fan gave an interview to a reporter from the Manchester Evening News and talked about his views on the team's big win in the first home game of the season.

"How does it feel to score a hat-trick in the first home game of the new season and a big win for the team?" asked the Manchester Evening News.

Yang Fan wiped the sweat on his body with his jersey, with a victorious smile on his face, and said: "Whether it is the coach or all the players, we are fully prepared for this game. We had a few chances in the first half and we took three of them, which set the stage for the whole game, and in the second half, Apacz's goal convinced us that the victory was in our hands, and of course, Liverpool's performance in the last half hour was excellent, but we were the winners! ”

And Spanish midfielder David. Silva also spoke to the media after the game, where he was asked how he felt after playing two games in the Premier League.

'The pace of the Premier League is faster. The Spanish midfielder thought for a moment and said, "The style of play is more concise and clear, and they are all aggressive, so there may be more goals in the big score." ”

'There was a scoring storm at Manchester Municipal Stadium today, and Manchester City have won two in a row, does that convince you that you made the right decision to come to Manchester City in the first place?

"Of course. "I'm delighted to be part of a cohesive team. ”

While the players were frantically celebrating, Manchester City's manager Robert. Roberto Mancini was waiting for a long time in the press conference hall at Manchester Municipal Stadium for the post-match press conference, but Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson never arrived.

Robert. Roberto Mancini waited for almost ten minutes before Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson arrived late.

Hodgson and Robert. After Mancini shook his hand, he did not sit down, but looked at the many reporters at the scene, and threw down a sentence: "Today's game, the team's table, everyone has seen it, it's terrible, I am shameless to apologize to the fans who came to watch the game today, I would like to apologize to them, in the next round of the league, everyone will see a different Liverpool." ”

After speaking, Liverpool manager Hodgson said to fellow Robert. Mancini nodded in acknowledgment and hurried away, leaving only a stunned Robert. Mancini and the many reporters at the scene, they really didn't expect Hodgson to have such a big reaction and left the scene directly. It seems that the manager is indeed quite angry about Liverpool's defeat.

Robert. Mancini was a little embarrassed and a little overwhelmed when he saw Hodgson leave the table, but Hodgson, as the losing party, could leave the table angrily, he Robert. Mancini was the victorious side, so naturally there was no reason to leave like this, so he had to sing a one-man show alone. Of course, for such a 'one-man show', Robert. Mancini certainly didn't dislike it, and could even say he liked it very much.

What reporters are most keen on is, of course, to ask the Manchester City manager to evaluate Yang Fan's performance.

Robert. Mancini spoke highly of Yang Fan, and he did not hesitate to praise reporters, "Yang Fan is a great player, he achieved excellent results with the team last season, and he no longer needs to prove anything to fans and media for a star of his level." All he has to do is lead the team forward to win the game. I've said before that Manchester City were lucky to get Yang Fan last summer, and it would be the greatest signing in City's history to help us win games. ”

Roberto Mancini also spoke about City's goals for this season: "This season is a little different, Man City have proven themselves strong last season, which makes our opponents more alert against us, and of course, it's a good thing, to earn respect, it shows that we are improving and getting stronger. The goal for this season? I hope to be able to go one step further than last season. ”

Further than last season?!

Manchester City were runners-up in the league last season, and if we take it a step further, what is it?!

The media have interpreted this as Manchester City's bid for the title this season.

※※※※※※※

The day after the game, Yang Fan's performance in the Premier League also became the focus of major domestic media reports, and there was also a very heated discussion on the Internet.

In domestic reports, it is difficult to describe it with words of praise, and it can be said that the media will take out all the words that can be thought of to praise the players to describe Yang Fan. Although this is just an ordinary Premier League game, and Yang Fan did not have such a watch on the first day, but there is no way, after a summer, European football has finally rekindled the flames of war, and fans are waiting to see Yang Fan's game, waiting to cheer for him, and they can't wait.

On the morning of this day, Manchester City did not arrange training, the whole team had a half-day holiday, but Yang Fan, who was resting at home, received a call from the team's head coach Mancini, in which Mancini told Yang Fan that Manchester City and Gao Lin's signing was in trouble, and perhaps the signing had to be shelved.

Gao Lin belongs to the Shanghai Shenhua Club. Therefore, if Manchester City wants to sign a contract with Gao Lin, it must first communicate with Shanghai Shenhua Club and reach a transfer consensus before the transfer operation can be carried out.

Manchester City originally thought that signing the Chinese international recommended by Yang Fan was a smooth thing, just a matter of going through the procedure, but after contacting Shanghai Shenhua Club, they were stunned. Because Shanghai Shenhua Club actually rejected Manchester City's request to sign their player Gao Lin.

This led to Manchester City's director of football in charge of the transfer, Bryan Marwood, who was in charge of the transfer operation, and then communicated with manager Mancini to find out what Mancini's attitude was.

Mancini was also surprised, and he truthfully told Sù Brian Marvud, saying that Gao Lin was recommended by Yang Fan. As soon as he heard that it was a national team teammate recommended by Yang Fan, Brian Marvud did not dare to be careless, in the current Manchester City, as long as Yang Fan is involved, it is not a trivial matter, and it cannot be taken lightly.

Therefore, Mancini called this phone call and communicated with Yang Fan on this matter.

After learning about the current situation from Mancini's side, Yang Fan was also confused, and he couldn't figure out what the situation was. Gao Lin has always sought to play football, and now he has matched him and created a chance, but on the contrary, Gao Lin's side has gone wrong again.

Shanghai Shenhua Club directly rejected Gao Lin's transfer, what is the situation and what is the problem?!

Yang Fan couldn't understand why Shanghai Shenhua Club would refuse to let Gao Lin go abroad to play. And it was actually an unquestionable firm tone, was it Gao Lin who didn't communicate with the Shanghai Shenhua Club?

※※※※※※※

When Yang Fan expressed his incomprehension and some confusion about Shanghai Shenhua Club's rejection of Gao Lin's transfer, he received a call from Gao Lin across the ocean.

"Captain, I'm here to thank you. Gao Lin said to Yang Fan on the phone. "You tried your best to help me and open a door for my future, but now something like this is happening...... I'm sorry. ”

Since Yang Fan became the captain of the Chinese national team, many international players, including Gao Lin, have been accustomed to calling Yang Fan "captain". is different from the "boss" and "big brother" who have a strong atmosphere of rivers and lakes. The term "captain" seems a little more pure, more like the relationship between players and players. Yang Fan himself also likes this title, in his mind, this is the recognition and trust of his teammates.

"What do you do with me so politely. It's just that I'm still a little confused about what the situation is now. Yang Fan asked.

Gao Lin's feelings were a little depressed, "The club did not support me to play abroad, and they rejected Manchester City's request to negotiate. ”

Hearing Gao Lin say this, Yang Fan could only express regret, Gao Lin and Shanghai Shenhua Club have a contract, Shenhua Club will not let go, Gao Lin can only continue to stay in Shenhua Club, not transfer.

"It's a pity. Yang Fan said, and then he comforted Gao Lin, "The club does not let people go, which shows that they attach great importance to you and shows your value and status in the team." ”

"Alas. Gao Lin on the other end of the phone was very depressed, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything, and he could only sigh.

"If there's anything you need my help with, just ask. Yang Fan said. He could feel that Gao Lin was very unwilling to be able to play abroad, and his feelings were very low. If he can help Gao Lin fulfill his wish to play in Europe, he will naturally be happy to help.

"Well, thank you, Captain. Gao Lin said with emotion, he knew that the captain was really helping him, and he had been worried about playing abroad for himself, "I will communicate with the club again, I hope there will be good news." ”

Yang Fan nodded, "If you need my help, just speak." ”

Ended the call with Gao Lin, Yang Fan shook his head gently, he still couldn't understand the Shanghai Shenhua Club's move to block Gao Lin's transfer, in Yang Fan's mind, Chinese clubs should provide convenience and help as much as possible for domestic players to play abroad, which is of great benefit to enhance the strength of the Chinese team, broaden the players' horizons, and make continuous progress.

Subsequently, Yang Fan called back to head coach Mancini, saying that Gao Lin would communicate with Shanghai Shenhua Club and wait to see the progress. If you can sign a contract, if you really can't do it, forget it.

Mancini has nothing to say about Yang Fan, anyway, signing Gao Lin is for Manchester City and Mancini, in essence, it is more for the sake of Yang Fan's face, Manchester City's current goal is to be a top star, Gao Lin is not in their eyes and plans, Manchester City really doesn't care too much about whether they can sign Gao Lin.

On August 25, Manchester Municipal Stadium, the weather was cloudy and overcast.

On this day, the stadium welcomed a special group of guests.

It was a tour group of about thirty people, who came from faraway China, and were visiting Manchester City's Hall of Honour at the moment. There has been a recent surge in the number of Chinese tourists visiting Manchester, and to the surprise of the local host guides, many of them have come to Manchester City by name.

Miss Susan, a tour guide, is telling these visitors about the rich history and glory of Manchester City, "Manchester City have won the English top flight twice, in 1937 and 1968. ”

"It's been too long. There was a sigh from the crowd.

"Yes, it's been too long. Susan looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, and whispered, "Actually, if you want to visit the football club's room of honour, you should go to the other side of Manchester, which is shabby compared to that side." ”

Her travel agency is a local travel agency, and this time she was tasked with accompanying the Chinese tourists on a tour of Manchester, a football club and a Premier League match.

At first, Susan thought these were Manchester United fans, because it was so normal, Manchester United has a huge influence throughout Asia, and too many Asian tourists come to Manchester every year to visit and watch games.

However, she was surprised to learn that the target of the trip was Manchester City. Susan is a Manchester United fan, she really can't think of anything worth visiting that shabby neighbor, what is wrong, it is shabby, although Manchester City is very rich now, last season's table Xiàn even pressed Manchester City, but, including Susan, all Manchester United fans still look down on Manchester City from the bones, of course, it is no wonder that Manchester United people look down on Manchester City, compared with the giant Manchester United, Manchester City is too uncompetitive, take the honor room of the two teams as an example, Manchester United's honor room in the trophy next to the trophy, golden, and Manchester City's trophy is three or two kittens, it is really shabby and a little embarrassing。 In front of Manchester United, in the face of Manchester United's heavy and glorious history, Manchester City has no confidence at all.

'We're here to see Manchester City. A middle-aged tourist said a little unhappily, "Miss, please continue." "The fan was a little annoyed that the female guide always seemed to want to 'pull' them to United's side. R1148
