The bloodless 3-0, Manchester City's performance exceeded most people's imagination, but for the mainstream media, although Manchester City swept West Ham United away from home, it is also a fact that West Ham United's strength this season has dropped a lot compared with last season, Manchester City can also achieve good results just by relying on those top strikers, not to mention that they also have many top players in the midfield and backfield, and they are still relatively rusty in terms of cooperation, which are Manchester City's problems.

However, Mansour seemed very happy with the victory, the game was very lively, there was a lot of running, Manchester City scored three goals and the opponent did not score a single goal...... All this is very much in line with Mansour's impression of "beautiful football".

He himself has little interest in football, and after watching the game, he flew straight back to Dubai, leaving the club's affairs to Mubarak, and all he wanted to hear was to hear that the team won the championship at the end of the season, pushing the prestige of the Abu Dhabi Group to a higher level - football is just a carrier.

Dick was going to report to Mansour, but all he saw was Mubarak, who told him that the owner had returned to the UAE, and that the next thing for the club would be managed by Mubarak on the financial side and the team on the part of Dick.

Dick nodded when he heard the news, and then led the team back to Manchester with a smile.

This is the best news, you must know that although the power of the Premier League manager has always been very large, almost a manager rather than a coach, but in the case of more and more foreign investment, the power of the head coach has begun to be gradually deprived, Dick can get such a big power, of course, there is a reason why he is famous enough, and Mansour does not care too much about football, because Dick tosses - he only wants the championship, not to increase his exposure or something, After money reaches a certain level, the things that ordinary people pursue tend to become less important at all......

Dick's power is enough to make most Premier League managers envious and jealous.

Back in Manchester, Dick gave his players a day off, and the next thing was a regrouping of the team, and Dick began analysing the last game to let the players know what they were doing well and what wasn't enough.

Most of the players have never seen such a formation, but no one has an opinion, if they want to win the championship and gain a foothold in this team, they have to listen to Dick, haven't they heard what the big boss behind the scenes says? Dick is on an equal footing with the president of the club, Mubarak, but in a different place......

Dick's eyes are naturally very high, after all, he led such a strong Inter Milan in previous seasons, compared with that Inter Milan, this Manchester City still has a lot of shortcomings, Dick pointed out one by one, and then told them what to do in this situation again, and then went to training to reflect it - so that the training effect will be better.

Normally, the season doesn't start with a tight schedule, but the Premier League is the exception, they can rest for the next week, and then they will have the first week of the season double, especially the third round of the Manchester derby, which will be played in midweek, which has also made many fans feel a little unhappy - this is the main event, why is it in midweek......

Dick doesn't have any opinion on this, anyway, the first few games are mainly to run in the lineup, and the players are very physical, even if the schedule is more dense, there will not be much of a problem, and it is better to run in the lineup in the case of dense games.

On 16 August, the City Stadium was flooded with countless Manchester City fans, who were expecting the team to win their first game at home, and they were even more looking forward to seeing the new stars at home, especially the magical Dick......

Although Dick has offended many people in his previous coaching career, it does not include Manchester City - to put it mildly, Manchester City's status in the past is really not worthy of being Dick's opponent, and now with Dick's excellent manager, they are beginning to look forward to a brilliant season, you must know that Manchester City has never been truly brilliant in history, two top-flight titles, four FA Cups, two League Cups and one European Cup Winners' Cup, not particularly good, especially compared to local rivals Manchester United, which makes people feel that they are indeed not a good team......

It is precisely because of the hope for Dick that they have the greatest enthusiasm.

Dick did not disappoint them, this game in the starting Dick only made some tweaks, Ixasson as the starting goalkeeper, although the first round of the game did not concede a goal, but Schmeichel did not show any too convincing performance, and in training he did not perform as well as the other two goalkeepers, after the first game, Dick directly abandoned the Danish goalkeeper.

It's not that Dick is in a hurry to achieve quick success, mainly because he can see in training that Schmeichel Jr. really has no potential, whether it is compared with the experienced Ixasson or the promising Joe Hart, there is not much advantage, and Dick does not have so much time to wait for him to grow slowly, not that he does not give Schmeichel time, but the boss will not give him too much time.

There were no changes at the back, with Richards, Barnes, Samuel and Vincent Kompany in the starting line-up, Hamann in midfield, bad boys Barton and Yaya Toure and Parker in midfield, with no changes in the forward line, with Ribery, Torres and Di Natale starting the line-up.

Their opponent in this game is Derby County - this team drew 2-2 with Portsmouth in the first round, and is now in the middle of the table, Derby County has always been a middle and lower team in the Premier League, they have few bright spots, which is the same as Manchester City before, this summer as a promotion horse, they spent some money, bought some people, and almost changed the entire main lineup, but the quality of the reinforcements is too far from Manchester City, with both sides are a little rusty, and the individual ability is better than Manchester City, why should such Derby County confront Manchester City?

They held back City with a stubborn defence for 30 minutes before being crushed under the attack.

It was Franck Franck Ribery who scored the goal after receiving a pass from Parker and swayed past a defender into the box, then scrambled over the second defender to fill in and shook the ball away again before smashing the ball into the bottom right corner of the net!

"Beautiful goal, a complete reflection of Ribery's personal strength! He shook off two defenders in a row and scored! Dick applauded on the sidelines, the current Manchester City cooperation is not tacit enough, but Dick has played the individual strength of the stars very well, I have to say that this approach is very good, so that they can ensure that the team wins and grabs enough points......"

The commentator praised Dick's work, and the City fans in the stands began to shout loudly that Ribery was indeed doing well, at least in this position, and City did not seem to have had such a good player......

Ten minutes later, they cheered again - this time it was Di Natale who scored the goal, Yaya Toure pretended to shoot from the edge of the box, but gave the ball to Parker, who passed the ball to Torres in the box, Torres leaned on the defender and shot with his feet, the ball was saved by the opposing goalkeeper, Di Natale appeared at the spot of the ball for the first time, and blocked the ball into the door of the derby!

Usually silent, once it appears, it shines - this is the characteristic of opportunistic goalscorers, and now Di Natale is such an opportunistic goalscorer, although he does not have as many games in Udinese in history, but the three years at Inter Milan have brought him enough progress, waiting for opportunities, one blow will kill, he is more calm than usual, more able to grasp opportunities.

It's just that such shooters are a bit sad that generally people don't notice them, and it's hard to recognize their value, just like Inzaghi, when he was young, he was considered to be a fake fall and lived on the offside line, but when he is old, people will think that such a striker's game is really one less game......

The City fans also gave Di Natale a round of applause, but they were talking more about the other players in the goal, they were talking about Yaya Toure's forward, Parker's pass, Torres' shot...... I think that's the most important part of the goal.

Di Natale didn't care about this, he knew that under Dick he would be reused, at Inter Milan because there were too many good strikers, and now? As long as his performance continues, then the main position will not be shaken, this is what Di Natale desires the most now, after three years as a substitute at Inter Milan, he is now going to be the main team!

After a two-goal advantage in the first half, Dick didn't let his main players play the whole game as he did in the previous game, but began to deploy shortly after the break, with Joel Luka coming on for Samuel, Vidal for Parker and Ashley Young for Ribery, as Dick began to prepare for the Manchester derby in midweek.

Derby County intended to launch a counterattack, but was unable to fight back, although three substitutes were replaced, but Manchester City's strength advantage still exists, such an advantage makes Derby County have no strength to fight back at all, but Manchester City's forward line created some opportunities, but was not able to grasp it, when the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, Manchester City defeated Derby County 2-0 at home, and won two consecutive league wins after the start of this season!

"Of course it's nice to be able to get six points from two games...... This proves that we are a team capable of achieving better results in the league...... In fact I have never doubted this, and now I have only proved that my non-doubt is correct. The next round of the league? Well, I've been looking forward to it for a long time, I've been doing well in derbies and I hope to continue that. Provocation? No, it's not a provocation and I respect Sir Alex Ferguson for everything he has achieved, but that doesn't mean I have to throw in the towel when I run into his team. It's about the dignity of a manager's profession. I respect Sir Alex Ferguson, but in this game I'm going to try to win. ”
