Chapter 644: Something New
On November 6, Manchester City faced Fenerbahce at home, and Fenerbahce suffered an eight-goal defeat at the feet of Manchester City in their home games, which had already scared them and demoralized, so they fell into a passive situation from the first minute, only parrying, and not fighting back.

With just thirteen minutes played, Ruud van Nistelrooy stabbed Fenerbahce through Fenerbahce in a goalmouth scuffle to open the door for Manchester City.
Although the Manchester City team suffered an overwhelming insult and bombardment of all kinds of debris at Fenerbahce's home stadium, the Manchester City fans did not treat the Fenerbahce team in the same way, and of course, they spared no effort to cheer for the Manchester City team, which was no less powerful than the insults of Fenerbahce fans.
If Fenerbahce hadn't conceded a goal, they might have slowly regained some confidence and resistance, but now that they have conceded so quickly and the shouts of the Manchester City fans have left them uneasy, how much more can they resist?
Soon, ten minutes later, Ding Hongxing extended the lead with a free kick, and after leading 2-0, Manchester City were not in a hurry to attack, they comfortably played the ball and used time by backing their feet.
This style of play is actually the least consumed, Manchester City's recent games are too intensive, if you blindly attack, of course, it is very happy, but the physical consumption of your own energy is too great, and it is easy to make the opponent angry, and the action is likely to hurt the Manchester City players, then the gain outweighs the loss.
Manchester City fell at the back, Fenerbahce did not come out to press, the last time at home was really chilling for them, if this game ended 0-2, it would have been a perfectly acceptable result for them, as a result, Manchester City had a jaw-popping possession rate of more than 80 per cent.
In the second half, Larsson received a long pass from Ding Hongxing's backfield and scored another goal for Manchester City, and in the end, Manchester City beat Fenerbahce 3-0 at home, and after this game, their points have reached 12 points, and they have qualified from the group two rounds ahead of schedule.
In the other game in the same group, Juventus comfortably beat Rapid Vienna to reach nine points and qualify.
Ding Hongxing's personal goals have reached ten, ranking first in the scorer list, and now Vieri, who is ranked second in the scorer list, has only scored four goals, and there is a huge gap with Ding Hongxing, and the major European bookmakers have stopped accepting bets on the top scorer in the Champions League this season, and no one thinks that anyone else can snatch this honor from Ding Hongxing's hands.
While Manchester City were on all fronts at the same time, on 9 November they suffered their first defeat of the season in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals, a 2-1 defeat at Blackburn Rovers and the reigning League Cup champions were knocked out of the competition.
This defeat is not surprising, except for Ding Hongxing, Manchester City sent all the substitutes, even Jaskelainen, while Blackburn sent all the main players, they have played a mess in the league this season, and have been ranked around ten, which is too disappointing for the Premier League champions the year before, it is too difficult for them to achieve good results in the league, because of this, they want to make a breakthrough in the relatively easy League Cup, they give it their all in every game, After all, the League Cup winners will also be able to participate in the UEFA Cup next season.
One is still playing at home, and the other is sending a substitute, so it is not surprising that such a result is not surprising, after all, Blackburn were the league champions the year before, and the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse.
Ding Hongxing scored the only goal for Manchester City, but he still couldn't salvage the defeat, and of course, this defeat also has its positive significance, which makes Manchester City's schedule less dense.
Manchester City are not very serious about the Carabao Cup, so they are not very disappointed with this defeat, and then again, few of the current Premier League powerhouses take this game too seriously.
Of course, the media still wrote a lot about the defeat of Manchester City, especially those media who were hostile to Manchester City, since this season, Manchester City has not lost a single game in all competitions, which has made these media feel aggrieved, and now even if it is only a League Cup game, and Manchester City sent only a substitute lineup, but anyway, they finally lost, which makes these media like a holiday, and finally have a chance to attack Manchester City.
Fortunately, there are a lot of pro-Manchester City media now, needless to say, most of the local media in Manchester are pro-Manchester City, and the "Times" and "The Sun", two newspapers with huge influence, are now sparing no effort to say good things for Manchester City, and some of the original neutral media are also impressed by Manchester City's excellent results and gorgeous play, and also hope that Manchester City will win glory for English football in the Champions League, so they are also saying good things for Manchester City.
Manchester City didn't care about the media discredit, and after this game, Manchester City FC ushered in something new.
These new things are some small instruments to monitor the physical condition, these things can be worn on the player's body, the player can reflect their physical condition when training, the physical fitness coach can formulate different training plans and training volume for each player according to the data fed back by the instrument, more scientific training, so that the physical condition of the players is more intuitively displayed in the eyes of the team doctor, the team doctor can determine which players are suitable for playing, which players have been more tired, and are no longer suitable for playing.
In addition, Manchester City has built a new data center, which has purchased the most advanced computers available today, as well as specially written data analysis software, which can analyze the physical condition of the players, the performance of the players in the game, and the performance of the team in the game, such as ball possession, distance traveled, effective possession time, number of passes, success rate of interceptions, success rate of shots on goal and so on.
It can not only analyze the performance of its own players, but also the performance of players from other teams, such as which side they focus on, shooting habits, and even the habit of taking free kicks and penalty kicks, which can help the coach to develop different training plans for different players, set up tactics, arrange targeted play for different opponents, and even help goalkeepers improve the success rate of saving penalty kicks.
