Ding Hongxing had several threatening attacks and passes, but unfortunately due to luck and the coordination of his teammates, he failed to score, and his scoring streak was interrupted.

After this game, Manchester City loaned three young players including Bridge in the academy to Leyton Orient in the English League League, but Manchester City showed a very low profile about this loan deal, such young players don't know how much loan will happen every day in the English league, so no one will pay too much attention to this deal, no one knows, this is the beginning of a long-term cooperation between the two clubs.

On September 28th, a big event happened in the Premier League, just before the start of the eighth round of the league, Arsenal sacked their current manager, Bruce. Ríoch welcomed the first foreign head coach in the club's history - Frenchman Arsène. Arsene Wenger, of course, no one would have known except Ding Hongxing that the Frenchman, whose name is very close to Arsenal, would become one of the most successful managers in Arsenal's history.

In fact, before Leoch's departure, Arsenal's results were quite good, they had just won two in a row, and they were second in the table behind Manchester City with seven games, four wins, two draws and one defeat.

In any case, Ding Hongxing knows that Manchester City has one more real opponent in the Premier League, but he likes this feeling very much, he is keen to accept the challenge, and only when there are more strong opponents, Manchester City will become stronger and stronger.

After two consecutive draws, although Manchester City still occupies the top position in the standings, but the advantage has been narrowed to only three points, just three days after the league on the 28th, Manchester City will welcome the strongest opponent in the Champions League group stage at home, Juventus, which is a relatively big test for Manchester City this season, the entire Premier League is looking at Manchester City, to see if they can withstand such pressure.

Blackburn Rovers before it, and even Manchester United, collapsed on both fronts because they couldn't withstand such pressure.

Generally speaking, a team that lacks experience in two-line operations can often only perform well in one game, last season's Manchester City, the reason why they were able to overwhelm Manchester United and win the league title, has a lot to do with their lack of distractions in the center of the league, at the beginning of this season, Manchester City team only played in the league when the performance was also very good, won a wave of five consecutive wins, but once it came to the two-line battle, it suffered two consecutive draws, which proved that Manchester City is still an inexperienced team.

In this round of the league, Mu Shengli is under pressure and still uses a few rotation players, because the home game against Juventus in three days is too important, he has to save for that game, anyway, they have a pretty good record in the league now, they still have some capital to squander their advantage.

Moreover, Mu Shengli still has a trump card in his hand, that is, Ding Hongxing, even if it is a semi-main lineup, with Ding Hongxing, the Manchester City team can still be called a strong team.

Sure enough, in this game, Ding Hongxing broke out, he scored a hat-trick to help Manchester City win 5-2 over Middlesbrough to cement the team's position in the table, and the other two goals were scored by Stam and Ruud van Nistelrooy.

After eight league games, Manchester City are firmly at the top of the table with six wins, two draws and 20 points, and Arsenal are in second place, and they have won three consecutive victories under the leadership of new manager Arsene Wenger with a 2-0 home win over promoted Sunderland.

On 29 September, reigning Champions League champions Juventus flew to Manchester, where they arrived two days early to prove how much they value Manchester City.

Before the game, Juventus coach Lippi also said in an interview with the media: "Manchester City is a very good team and our biggest opponent in the group stage, although we may have more experience than them, but we will not underestimate them at all, we will definitely give it our all in this game." Manchester City has a very good player in the squad, and he can even be said to be the best player in world football today, he is Ding Hongxing, he is a player who can decide a game by himself. How to defend him? To be honest, I don't know, it's impossible for a player like him to be completely defensive, I can only use the best defensive players to try to stifle his play, maybe two or three players against him, of course, if you want to beat Manchester City, you can't just defend it, but luckily we have good attacking players in the team, I believe our attack will not be for nothing in this game, I hope to win this game. ”

Juventus do have a lot of outstanding attacking players in the team, especially Zinedine Zidane and Vieri, who are new to the team this season, and they have played extremely well, and people can't help but sigh that they have made a few good deals.

And Mu Shengli said in an interview: "Juventus are the defending champions, they are a great team, we respect them, but Maine Road is our home stadium, here, we will not be afraid of any team, against any team, we have only one goal, and that is to win!" ”

The managers of both teams have shown a strong desire to win** and self-confidence before the game, which is also what their recent string of victories has brought to them, and for a football team, the confidence that consecutive wins bring to them is a huge bonus to their fighting spirit, and now both teams are in their peak period.

On the training ground of the Manchester City team, the Manchester City players are all gearing up, vowing to pull the defending champions down, although they have no experience, but there is a way that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and this is their home stadium, even if the opponent is really a tiger, they will beat it violently.

Seedorf continued to cheer up his teammates: "Don't be afraid of them, aren't they the defending champions?" We have two players in the team who have won the Champions League, earlier than they did, what are we afraid of? Maybe we'll be the defending champions next year! ”

Seedorf's words are very convincing, yes, what is there to be afraid of? Before the match is played, who can be sure that the defending champions will win?
