After the match with Liverpool, Sunderland are sixth in the league table with three wins, three draws and one loss, ahead of the Premier League giants, including Manchester Giants, Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur, while the strong "Gunners" Arsenal are behind Sunderland due to the devil's schedule at the beginning of the season with only 11 points.

In the eighth round of the English Premier League, Sunderland will travel to the Etihad Stadium to challenge the "Blues", which has many top stars such as Argentine superstar Sergio Aguero, Spanish striker David Silva and Ivory Coast midfielder Yaya Toure. Moon's Manchester City, this game is quite a big challenge for Sunderland, and it is also the second time this season that they have set foot in the bustling city of Manchester, a bustling city in the northwest of England; The last time they came to the city was in the fourth round of the league away to the "Red Devils" Manchester United, and finally swallowed the only defeat of the season so far due to the overall difference in quality.

Due to Lu Ying's physical condition, Shen Chao still did not go to Manchester with the club, and Nan Xiao also fully understood; You Lu still returned to London alone in accordance with Taili's regulations to explain the Sunderland away game against Manchester City with Zhang Lu's guidance.

Manchester City's squad is extravagant, with Sergei Aguero, Raheem Sterling, Leroy Sane and David Silva in attack enough to strike fear into any team across Europe, while Yaya Toure and German midfielder Ilkay Gundogan are also extremely reassuring, England international John Stones and Argentina international Otamendi partner in central defence, Zabaleta and Kolarov on both wings, and Chilean goalkeeper Bravo, who won the Copa America twice in two years, looks almost flawless. Especially in the eyes of a team like Sunderland, who are not very strong, it is even more solid in the eyes of the media, so there is also speculation in the media whether Sunderland can pose an incredible threat to Manchester City as they did by beating Liverpool last week.

Before the start of the game, You Lu also asked Zhang Lu for his opinion on the game, and Zhang Lu gave his opinion that it would be difficult for Sunderland to take away points from the Etihad Stadium, for the simple reason that the disparity in strength between the two sides, Manchester City's strong home advantage, and Nan Xiao's unique understanding of football.

In the game, Sunderland's players played very averagely, although they did not make any serious mistakes, but there were few bright spots; In the first half, Billy Jones was eaten raw by Leroy Sane on the left flank, who found the German international Gundogan with an inverted shot from the edge of the box to help him score his first Premier League goal.

Then, at the beginning of the second half, Sergio Aguero relied on his individual ability to break away from the defense of Kolo Toure and Kirchhoff in the middle, and once again penetrated the Mannone goal with a low shot.

City had a couple of high-quality shots on goal before the end of the game, with Sergio Aguero on the right and Yaya Toure on target, but Mannone kept them out and didn't allow the score to extend further, and finally won 2-0 against the visiting Sunderland side thanks to goals from Gundogan and Sergio Aguero in both halves, and Nan Xiao tasted defeat again in the city of Manchester.

It is worth mentioning that Nam Xiao once again put Halilovic on the bench in the match against Manchester City, while the Brazilian teenager Carlos, who scored two goals against Liverpool in the last game, did not get a chance to play; In the post-match media interview, Nan Xiao also gave his own answer, he said that Sunderland is still in the adjustment period of the new season, so he will try a variety of different tactics in different games, and there may be no absolute main player in the conventional sense except for goalkeeper Manone, so every player must continue to work harder for the main position.

After returning to Sunderland, Nan Xiao finally had time to rest, he didn't go directly to the drug rehabilitation center to visit Lu Ying, because after the last incident, he felt that he needed to reduce the number of meetings with her appropriately, although Lu Ying had made it clear to him that she would not like Shen Chao, but he still hoped from the bottom of his heart that she and Shen Chao could continue to develop.

"Nan Xiao, are you sure you don't go to see Lu Ying together?" You Lu confirmed with Nan Xiao again before leaving the villa with Shi Yao.

"Don't go, you can help me talk to Mingshuo by the way, tomorrow he will have a day off, no need to go to the club, let him have a good rest." Nan Xiao leaned back on the sofa and said.

"Roger." You Lu blinked slightly.

After several days of exhaustion, Nan Xiao quickly fell asleep, but it didn't take long for a rapid mobile phone ringtone to wake him up again.

"Who?" Nan Xiao asked, still with his eyes closed.

"Dizi, I'm Mingshuo."

"Mingshuo, what's wrong?"

"I saw Sun Zijie."

"Sun Zijie?" Nan Xiao suddenly opened his eyes when he heard this name, as if he was sleepy for a moment, "Where did you see it?" ”

"I'm at the gates of the University of Sunderland right now."

"You follow him, and I'll be there in a minute."

Nan Xiao hung up the phone, turned over and jumped over the sofa and walked to the door, out of the villa, to the garage, and started the car and drove towards the University of Sunderland.

Nan Xiao looked at his watch while driving, it was about 19 o'clock, he drove very fast, so it didn't take too long to arrive at the main entrance of the University of Sunderland.

After he got out of the car, he immediately dialed Chen Mingshuo's phone, and the phone was picked up after a ring.

"Dizi, where are you?"

"Where are you at the main entrance?"

"The gazebo at the back of the library."

"Okay, I'll be right over."

"Hey, don't go down the main road, stick to the wall and come around from the east."

"Understood."

Due to the previous five-a-side competition at the University of Sunderland, Nan Xiao still knows the layout of the campus very well, although it is a dark day, but he can still find the location of the library neatly.

He hadn't thought about what to do with Sun Zijie after seeing him for a while, but the general direction had already been figured out, that is, he must let him have a longer memory, as for how to have a long memory, after thinking about it, maybe the only way to use Shen Chao's favorite method is to think about it.

"Mingshuo."

"Here comes the flute." Chen Mingshuo whispered to Nan Xiao, "Now, he's right there, and there are two men." ”

Chen Mingshuo stretched out his finger and pointed at Sun Zijie and the two boys who were smoking in the gazebo.

"Let's go, go over and have a look." Nan Xiao tilted his head and beckoned Chen Mingshuo to walk in the direction of Sun Zijie together.

"Hey, boy." Nan Xiao didn't want to be polite to Sun Zijie anymore, politeness is only used for those who are worthy of respect, and for those who are not worthy of respect, don't tarnish those expensive words.

"It's you." Sun Zijie saw Nan Xiao and Chen Mingshuo who suddenly appeared in front of him, frowned and said.

"Your name is Sun Zijie, right?" Nan Xiao asked with a look of disdain.

"Hmm." Sun Zijie nodded.

"Why don't you just call your grandson? Smooth mouth is also suitable for you. ”

"What do you mean?" Sun Zijie didn't seem to be angered by Nan Xiao's words.

"Don't you know what I mean?"

"I know you're doing it for Lu Ying, but ......"

"But a fart, if you broke up with Lu Ying before, and if you still have it, I don't care what reason you have this time, I won't forgive you, understand?" Nan Xiao said step by step.

"So what do you want?" Sun Zijie asked.

"How? I'd like to hear your explanation? ”

"Okay, we can solve ...... now"

"But." Nan Xiao suddenly interrupted, "Before you explain, I want to breathe a sigh of relief for Superman and Lu Ying. ”

Nan Xiao glared at Sun Zijie and said, taking a step forward between words.

"Mingshuo, do it!"
