On the training ground, Zhang Chaoqiang was conducting speed training.

Resistance parachute training, agility ladder training, multi-directional speed change training.

Exclusive trainer André Fournier has developed a series of training plans for Zhang Chaoqiang, all of which are designed to help him improve his speed and explosiveness on the court.

However, the training has only been a few days old, and I haven't seen any real results yet.

And on the sidelines, the strength and conditioning coach Buenaventura keeps a close eye on everything on the field.

As Zhang Chaoqiang's role in the team became more and more obvious, the Manchester City coaching staff also intervened in Zhang Chaoqiang's daily training.

His training must be in line with the team's schedule, which requires a certain amount of communication.

For example, now, Pep Guardiola has taken the substitute squad to the English League Cup away game, and Zhang Chaoqiang is not in the game plan, so there is time for individual training.

After a set of training, Zhang Chaoqiang went to the sidelines to rest and drink water, and found that there was suddenly one more person.

"Kevin, you're here to train too?"

"Well, hold it up."

It was Kevin De Bruyne, who was wearing a training uniform and bouncing the ball slowly on the sidelines.

Seeing that the other party seemed to want to practice long-range shooting alone, Zhang Chaoqiang proposed: "Let's compare later." ”

"Okay." The other party readily agreed.

On September 21, the match day of the round of 32 of the English League Cup, Manchester City challenged Swansea away.

Pep Guardiola basically brought a full bench squad to the away side.

In the end, thanks to goals from Gal Klich and Alex Garcia, Manchester City beat Swansea 2-1 away to advance.

Then the draw for the round of 16 of the English League Cup, Manchester City drew the city rival Manchester United, and played away.

Another city derby is scheduled.

However, Pep Guardiola has already stated in the team that even against Manchester United, the team still insists on sending a substitute line-up.

After all, it's the EFL Cup, and it's not worth paying too much.

On September 24, in the 6th round of the Premier League, Manchester City came to Wales again to challenge Swansea again.

Although Wales has its own professional football league, two of the strongest professional teams in Wales, Swansea and Cardiff City, are both in the English professional league.

Because the level of the Welsh league is so low.

In a week's time, Manchester City have two games in a row against Swansea, and this schedule is also enough.

However, in the midweek game, Manchester City played as a substitute, and winning or losing was acceptable.

And now in the weekend league, Manchester City is the main force to play, and there is no room for error.

Swansea currently have South Korean player Ji Seong-yong in their squad, so this is an Asian derby.

However, in terms of personal ability and attention, the gap between the two is a bit big.

The so-called Asian derby is not worthy of its name at all.

Only the South Korean media was more excited, saying that this is just an outpost and the next round will be a real Asian derby.

Manchester City will travel to Tottenham Hotspur in the next round.

Zhang Chaoqiang and Son Xingmin face off directly, and that is the real Asian derby.

In this season's Premier League, five Asian players have been given the opportunity to play.

In addition to Zhang Chaoqiang, there are also Tottenham's Son Heung-min, Swansea's Ji Chengyong, Leicester City's Shinji Okazaki, Southampton's Maya Yoshida and others.

But when it comes to matching each other, only Sun Xingmin can barely keep up with Zhang Chaoqiang.

At least they all play for strong teams and are key players in the team.

But that will have to wait for the next round of the Premier League.

At the Swansea Free Stadium, Zhang Chaoqiang, Sergio Aguero and Raheem Sterling scored respectively, and Manchester City relied on the play of the forward trident to win three points 3:1 and continue the Premier League winning streak.

Sergio Aguero had previously been banned by the FA for three matches, but the Premier League's ban is for domestic matches to be banned together.

So after two Premier League games and one EFL Cup, Sergio Aguero returned from the ban.

As for Ji Chengyong, that guy didn't meet Zhang Chaoqiang at all.

Manchester City confirmed a three-goal lead early, and Zhang Chaoqiang went off to rest early.

The South Korean only got a chance to come off the bench in the last 10 minutes.

Elsewhere in the Premier League, five of the Premier League's top six have won, with only Chelsea suffering a 3-0 defeat at Arsenal in the London derby.

Everton also lost 1-0 at Bournemouth.

So in the standings, Manchester City continues to lead with 18 points, followed by Tottenham with 14 points, Arsenal, Liverpool and Everton with 13 points, Manchester United with 12 points, and Chelsea with 10 points.

According to the standings, the next round is not only an Asian derby, but also a direct battle between the first and second places.

Smoothly, Tottenham defeated Middlesbrough 2:1 away in this round, and Son Heung-min scored a brace again.

In the Premier League in September, Son Heung-min contributed 4 goals and 1 assist to help Tottenham maintain a complete victory.

Therefore, many media have analyzed that the best Premier League month in September is likely to fall on the heads of South Koreans.

The previous August best has been won by Zhang Chaoqiang, and if Son Heung-min wins the best of the month in September, it will be the second consecutive month that Asian players have won the Premier League monthly award.

Chinese fans were also amazed by Sun Xingmin's performance and exclaimed: "Attack on Sun Tzu! ”

Invisibly, the heat of the Asian derby is gradually heating up.

In addition, in the Premier League scorer list, Son Heung-min also climbed to a higher position with four goals.

At present, Zhang Chaoqiang is in first place with 7 goals, and Diego Costa is second with 5 goals.

This was followed by players tied for four goals, including Son Heung-min, Romelu Lukaku, Alexis Sanchez, Ibrahimovic and others.

"Manchester City's Trident is powerful, and the blue moon continues to lead the Premier League standings"

"Mela-style Manchester City have won nine in a row, who can stop them? 》

"3G combination kills all sides, can it be compared to BB? 》

With Manchester City's back-to-back wins, the popularity of 3G combinations is growing day by day.

Many English media have begun to compare them to Real Madrid's BBC and Barcelona's MSN.

This is a bit of a touch of porcelain.

BB is a combination that has led the team to win the Champions League, and Manchester City's trident has only just been formed and has only played a few good games.

In China, fans are also discussing the matter in a matter.

"It's completely self-congratulatory to say that the three-gold combination is the strongest in the Premier League at most."

'Not even the best in the Premier League, they've beaten a Manchester United at the moment, and they're rebuilding United, so it's not convincing enough.

"The next round against Tottenham can be a little test."

"There is also the Champions League, and we have to play Barcelona twice in a row in the group stage, and then we will collide with MSN to see how it goes."

'The real test is in the knockout rounds of the Champions League.

"It's hard to match it, at least until you reach the Champions League."

"It's not comparable, but they do have the potential."

"Yes, after all, all three of them were once European golden boys, and their talents are there."

"The BBC is based on Ronaldo and the core, MSN is based on Messi as the core, and the three-gold combination is based on Brother Qiangzi, which is not right."

"Whether we can really play this season is very important."

"How?"

"If you think about it, BB has successfully won the Champions League in the first year of formation, and if you can't win it in the first year, you will be a little lacking in spirit in the future, and it will become more difficult."

"It's a bit of a definite need to win the Champions League, but at least you have to go to the final, and by the way, you have to win the Premier League, that's decent."
