In the end, the game was played as o:o, and the technical process of the game was unremarkable, but it was very intense, full of gunpowder, and the fans in the stadium felt that it was worth the ticket price.

The whole game was full of brutal collisions, flying tackles and muscular confrontations, fierce but not exciting, setting barriers for each other, but lacking the ability to fight back with a lethal blow. In less than 5 minutes of the opening game, Scholes, Nani and Park Ji-sung fouled Tevez and Silva three times in succession. Of course, the Manchester City players were not polite, with Boateng tackling Beba and Silva knocking down Park Ji-sung.

The biggest clash between the two sides came in the 45th minute, and if it wasn't for referee Foy and players on both sides, Tevez and Rafael would probably have played on the pitch.

Things were originally very simple, Tevez and Rafael grabbed the ball in the midfield, and Rafael had a pull action on Tevez behind him. Eventually, Tevez was enraged and reflexively pushed Rafael away and confronted the Brazilian. Unexpectedly, the 2o-year-old Rafael did not show weakness, his eyes stared at "The Beast" Tevez, and he was ready to hit Tevez with his chest. As the captain of Manchester City and Rafael's senior Manchester United, Tevez of course refused to show weakness and immediately quarreled with Rafael.

In the derby battle, technique and tactics are on the one hand, momentum is on the other, Tevez, nicknamed the beast, of course will not be afraid of Rafael, a young man, but he didn't expect Rafael to be fearless, which made Li Chengfeng impressed.

In the end, the two were separated from their teammates by the referee, and the injured Rafael was replaced by Brown in the 48th minute, which also ended the confrontation with Tevez. However, at a young age, when facing the beast Tevez, he will not fall behind in momentum, and his heart is very good, and he has a future. In contrast, Manchester City's young player Richards is much worse in terms of temperament, and although the physical talent is very good, Li Chengfeng has not seen a few defenders who are more physical than him. It's a pity that his mental attributes are much worse, and his ball quotient and emotional intelligence are very poor, if it weren't for the fact that he is a Manchester City academy player, Li Chengfeng would have cleaned him up a long time ago, and it would have been difficult to find a capable English household registration now.

Although only one draw was obtained, Lee Seungfeng can be satisfied, after all, Manchester United's team system is more mature, and the newly formed Manchester City can face the title contenders to get a draw is a good move. They are now only five points behind Manchester United in the table, and injuries to Rafael and Patrice Evra have made United's already stretched squad depth even more ugly, and if they drop the chain, City may have a chance to win the title this season.

As for Chelsea, who are currently second in the league, they seem to be under a curse after a dream start. Drogba went home to visit his family once, got dysentery, and then he won't score. Essien too, was finally sent off with a red card, got a three-game ban, went home, and changed from the strength of two people to half a person in an instant. What's even more bizarre is that assistant coach Wilkins is out of the way because of financial problems. They have only won 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses in the last 5 games, and were originally 4 points ahead of Manchester United, but they are 2 points behind after a few games, and it seems that there is no end to their darkness.

Suarez scored twice and Adam Johnson also scored a goal in the Europa League at home to Salzburg to give City an early qualification and a final round of fixtures to top the group as long as they don't lose to rivals Juventus. The unlucky Juventus, with five consecutive draws in the first five rounds of the group stage, are 3 points behind the second-ranked Lech Poznań, and there is only a theoretical hope of qualifying.

Juventus really fell into a fall in such a strong and weak group, and with Lee Seungfeng's understanding of Juventus, they will not fight hard for such an opportunity in the final round of the group stage, they will only focus on the domestic league. In the past, they could give up even the Champions League games, let alone the Europa League.

Well-rested, City gave their all against Bolton Wanderers and took the lead after just four minutes when Carlos Tevez burst onto Modric's pass and fired into the bottom left corner of the box for his first league goal of the season.

Manchester City, who were ahead, continued to attack, and in the seventh minute, David Silva passed the ball, and Bale's shot from the right side of the box was blocked by Knight. In the 14th minute, De Jong passed the ball from the left side of the penalty area, and David Silva's shot from the front of the post hit Cahill's arm, but referee Marriner refused to award a penalty.

Seeing this penalty, Li Chengfeng sat in the coach's seat and just tilted his head and didn't care. Now that Manchester City are firmly in control of the situation on the pitch, Lee believes that even without this penalty, Manchester City can still have a big victory.

However, things don't seem to be as simple as Li Chengfeng thinks, compared to the top leagues of other countries, because the British can get tens of millions of euros in broadcast fees every year, they can come up with a lot of transfer fees to strengthen the team, and their strength should not be underestimated. Bolton were the same, they resisted stubbornly and used counter-attacks to get a couple of chances.

In the 17th minute, Kolarov fouled Li Qinglong in front of the penalty area, and Petrov's free kick from 25 yards on the right was blocked by Balotelli and slightly missed the near corner post. In the 25th minute, Petrov's free kick was crossed, and Kevin Davies' header from a tight angle went wide of the near corner.

In the 3o minute, Tevez passed through to David Silva, and the Spanish international returned the ball from the left side of the penalty area, and Tevez fired directly into the empty net. However, the referee ruled that Modric was in an offside position and the goal was disallowed. In the 32nd minute, Lescott came on to replace the injured Chloe Toure. Tevez is booked for a foul on Ricketts in the box. In the 37th minute, David Silva returned a cross from the right side of the penalty area, and Tevez's sweeping shot from 15 yards was confiscated by Jaskelainen.

City continued to squander their chances when Carlos Tevez passed the ball and Zabaleta burst into the right-hand side of the box for a one-on-one chance, but his shot from outside the six-yard box was blocked. Tevez's diagonal shot from outside the edge of the box on the right is deflected wide. In the 39th minute, Zabaleta passed the ball and Tevez fired high from 15 yards on the right side of the penalty area. In the 42nd minute, Kolarov returned a cross from the left side of the penalty area, and Tevez swept wide from 1o yards in front of the spot.

At the end of the first half, Manchester City had many good chances to score, but only scored one goal, although there was a referee's reason, but it was really not good luck for themselves. At halftime, Li Chengfeng did not make adjustments, but just asked the players to be patient, not to be anxious, and not to focus on the attack and ignore the defense as before. In addition, when the ball is lost in the front court, the nearby players must pay attention to the local counter-attack, and cannot let the opponent play a quick counterattack. As for positional warfare, with Bolton's strength, Li Chengfeng is not worried.

At the start of the second half, Jaskelainen's release caused chaos in the six-yard box, but the defenders cleared it in time. In the 48th minute, Ricketts broke through Kolarov and crossed, and Kevin Davies' volley went just wide. One minute later, Tevez passed the ball and David Silva's shot from inside the box was confiscated by Jaskelainen. In the 52nd minute, Cahill headed in a corner kick and Petrov's powerful shot from the left edge of the box went wide. Two minutes later, Yaya Toure crossed through and Zabaleta's one-handed shot from eight yards out on the right side of the box was saved by Jaskelainen.

In the 57th minute, Bale's shot from 16 yards on the right side of the penalty area went past goalkeeper Jaskelainen, but in the end it unfortunately hit the right post and popped up. In the 6o minute, David Silva passed the ball and Tevez's shot from the edge of the box went high.

In the second half, Manchester City bombarded Bolton's half, but missed the opportunity to score one by one, and could not expand the score, the opponent's goalkeeper Jasco Lainen performed like a divine help, and Li Chengfeng was a little skeptical that he was drugged.

City's attack continued until the 78th minute, when Kolarov was sent off with a second yellow card for a foul of Ricketts in order to stop a counter-attack. With one man missing on the field, Lee Seung-bong replaced David Silva with Richards to keep the backline intact, and the formation was recycled a bit, and the positional battle began to grind.

Bolton's players are still lacking in strength after all, even if there is one more, they can't get any chance in the positional battle, after all, it's just a team with a relegation level, and they can't ask too much of him.

In the end, Manchester City won 1:o at home, although it was only a small victory, but the gap between Chelsea and Chelsea, who have only won one draw in this round, has narrowed to one point, only two points away from Manchester United in second place, and only three points behind Arsenal in the league.

However, at the end of the game, Manchester City broke the big news that made the victory seem irrelevant. Due to the lack of one person on the field, Li Chengfeng replaced Tevez in the final stage of the game and replaced Barry to strengthen the defense, but Tevez was very dissatisfied with this and yelled at Li Chengfeng on the sidelines, which made Li Chengfeng a little inexplicable. But Lee Seung-peak will never tolerate Tevez's attitude, even if he is the team's top scorer, he will not tolerate the existence of such a person who spoils the team's atmosphere. The team has the rules of the team, and any grievances can be resolved in the dressing room, but they should not be made public.

After the game, Lee Seung-peak fined Tevez a week's salary and suspended him for one game, showing his attitude and asking the team to remain silent. Although the media desperately tried to dig out the inside story, they found nothing, and could only guess the reason, but they also felt that Tevez's behavior was a little inexplicable. Maybe it's because of the renewal? One can only guess. However, Li Chengfeng doesn't care about these, these will naturally be dealt with by the team's staff, and he is now thinking about whether the team's goals for this season can be set higher.
