August 22, 2012!

The Premier League opener is less than 2 days away!

The flight full of Southampton players finally landed slowly at Manchester International Airport.

The first to step out of the plane was now Southampton manager Mauricio Pochettino.

40 years old!

As a manager, Pochettino is arguably the youngest of any Premier League manager today.

However, although Pochettino is not very old, the middle-aged man in front of him, who is full of spirits when he looks at it, has sent Southampton, an English One team, to the Premier League in just 2 years!

Triple Jump!

This is the change that Pochettino has brought to Southampton, especially the Southampton youth storm he built around the young player Adam Lallana, which can be said to be the most anticipated promotion horse in the entire Premier League today.

Rumor has it that Liverpool have already started to look at this Adam Lallana!

"Mr. Pochettino, Mr. Pochettino! When you made your Premier League debut against Manchester City, did that put pressure on your players? ”

As soon as you get to the exit!

The reporter who had been waiting there for a long time began to interview Pochettino in a hurry.

All right!

Hearing this question, Pochettino, who had no intention of being interviewed, also stopped.

"Pressure? There's no pressure! As a promoted team, we are facing the Premier League title last season, and I think in this comparison, it should be Manchester City who is under pressure. ”

Get!

When the reporter heard Pochettino's reply, he was also a little confused.

Should it be Manchester City who will be under pressure against Manchester City?

But on closer thought, the reporter seems to think that what Pochettino said makes sense.

This season's Manchester City spent more than 100 million to buy Majin Sue.

Moreover, the eyes of the world are now focused on Manchester City.

Against a promoted polo team, it seems that it is really Manchester City who should be under pressure.

"Okay, Mr. Pochettino, in the Community Shield not long ago, Manchester City almost slaughtered Chelsea, and this game also made all Premier League teams realize that even a back five can't limit Su Qin these days, so do you think your team can limit Su Qin?"

Journalists know what fans like these days!

No one cares if Manchester City can win or not, everyone just wants to know if Su Qin, who is invincible in La Liga, will be so unsolvable in the Premier League!

And the one in front of you!

But it is precisely by relying on the strongest defensive counterattack in the entire Championship that he has been promoted to the existence of the Premier League!

"Restrict Su Qin? What are you thinking? Chelsea and Barcelona can't contain Su, how can we Southampton limit Su? We came to Manchester with a learning attitude! ”

With that, Pochettino gave the reporter a smile and turned away.

Pochettino's Manchester Study Tour! Majin Su is irresistible? 》

"The countdown to the debut of the Devil in the Premier League is 2 days, and the new journey of the Devil who conquered Serie A and La Liga begins! 》

"Mildew's personal doctor revealed that Mildew may retire from the music scene for a year! 》

"A large number of Chinese fans poured into Manchester, and tickets for the Etihad Stadium were hard to find! 》

Yes!

With the Suqin Ittihad Stadium debut approaching!

The originally normal Manchester City tickets, with the help of countless Chinese fans, suddenly rose.

From the initial tens of euros to now it has skyrocketed tenfold, and at this price, it is still hard to find a ticket!

August 23rd!

Pochettino led the team to the Etihad Stadium early on.

However, to the disappointment of the reporters, the Southampton manager, who had talked and laughed with them before, seemed to be a different person on this day!

Not only did it not open Southampton's on-the-field training, but it also issued a gag order to the whole team!

Well, for journalists, the more Southampton is like this, the more curious they become.

In the eyes of reporters, Southampton, as a promoted horse, is here to give points to Manchester City's season debut.

Seeing that the game is about to start, Southampton, as a fish, seems to want to resist a little?

That afternoon!

After the reporters pursued Pochettino to no avail, they could only gather around Mancini, who had just finished training.

Unlike Pochettino, the relaxed-faced Mancini told reporters the goals and tasks of Manchester City for this game straightforwardly!

"Winning is the most important thing and I want to show everyone a new Manchester City team in this game! A Manchester City team that will delight all the fans! ”

Very confident!

There's no way, during this period of training, Mancini has been made to the point of nervousness by the surprise brought by Su Qin.

In the past, everyone knew that Su Qin could be said to be the pinnacle of the center forward in world football, and his only shortcoming was speed.

However, who would have thought!

After the demon was seriously injured, the demon actually trained his speed by hiring a professional sprint coach.

One high and one fast, this is the initial configuration that Mancini first set for Su Qin and Aguero!

However, that was before, and now, Mancini has decided to let Aguero go behind Su Qin to pick up the leak.

Yes, Aguero, the son-in-law of the football king who is coveted by the whole of England, has actually become a dispensable striker in the hands of Mancini.

Only, even so!

Aguero, who was placed in this position by Mancini, has no complaints!

As for the reason?

Naturally, Lao Gui has already experienced what it means to be cool in training.

August 24, 2012!

The much-anticipated 2012-2013 Premier League has officially begun.

It was five o'clock in the afternoon!

With less than 2 hours to go before the official start of the game, the bus full of Manchester City's stars finally slowly drove into the internal passage of Etihad Place!

Although the local authorities in Manchester have arranged for countless security personnel to come here early on to maintain order!

But when the bus pulls into Etihad Square!

The whole scene is still out of control.

Countless!

Yes, the blue crowd that could not be seen at a glance, like ocean waves, rushed around the bus the moment it appeared.

The road is blocked!

And those crazy Manchester City fans gathered around the bus, shouting Su Qin's name over and over again!

"Su Qin!"

"Su Qin!!"

"Su Qin !!"

It's not just English!

Croatian!

Chinese!

Everyone only shouted Su Qin's name.

Crazy!

And it's the ultimate madness!

This moment!

Even Su Qin's Manchester City teammates on the bus were frightened by the madness of these fans.

"Hey! Sue, you guy! ”

Aguero opened his mouth and sighed as he looked at the Su Qin fans holding up Su Qin's photo outside the car window!

However, compared to Aguero's exclamation!

Mancini, who was sitting in the front row, was pleased!

Yes, Lao Man was right, as early as noon, the staff at the Etihad Stadium said that the number of fans coming to the square today had already exceeded the reception capacity of the square and the stadium.

Therefore, Lao Man directly decided to come here two hours in advance.

This is not!

If only it was really one late according to the previous habit.

Not necessarily, Manchester City will be the first Premier League team to be awarded a defeat due to the fact that the team is unable to enter the stadium due to the large number of fans.

It's just that what Mancini didn't expect in the end was that even if he was more than an hour early.

In this short few hundred meters, it took them almost an hour and a half to finish in a hurry with the help of the security personnel.

After the bus finally stopped in the underground parking lot of the stadium, Mancini immediately rushed to the pre-match press conference.

Sure enough, when Lao Man arrived, Pochettino was already waiting to get up and leave!

There is no nutritional press conference.

Of course, this is for Mancini.

Today's Mancini, to be honest, only Wenger and Ferguson can be regarded as his opponents.

A little-known Pochettino can't get into Mancini's eyes at all!

However, what Mancini may never know in his life is that in the original time and space, it was this Pochettino who allowed him to take the defending champion to a defeat in the opening game of the league!

It was that match that Pochettino proved to the world what he was capable of!

Inside the Manchester City dressing room!

Lao Man, who came back from the press conference, did not shout anything to speak.

He simply elaborated on the team's tactical play, and then let the team rest.

And the other side!

Dressing room for the away team.

Pochettino, however, is passionately and passionately telling his young soldiers what this game means for them!

"You know what?"

"At this moment, the eyes of the whole world will be focused here!"

"This is the Etihad Stadium!"

"The owner here is called Manchester City."

"And today, this will be the Premier League debut of the world's No. 1 star, Su Qin."

"I believe that no one, no big team will ignore this game."

"They're all looking forward to that Majin Sue who will put on a goal show for the whole world on us!"

"Yes!"

"We're a group of people who don't have a sense of existence in their eyes!"

"They don't even know the full name of our team!"

"But!"

"It's today!"

"I want you to be on the pitch, on the Etihad pitch and tell them all with your own performances!"

"You're Southampton kids!"

"You are the heroes of Southampton!"

"Remember!"

"You're not alone!"

"I and the 5,000-plus Southampton fans in the stands will always be with you!"

Don't talk about it!

It was with this almost hypnotic chicken blood package that the young Pochettino led this group of young troops with an average age of less than 25 years old all the way from League One to the Premier League.

Moreover, during this time, Pochettino has been studying the playing style and tactics of his debut with Manchester City!

He's thought about a back five, even a back six.

However, in the end, he gave up.

He knows he doesn't have John Terry in his backline, nor does he have a top Premier League defender like David Luiz.

If he sticks to it, then his team will only have the same fate as Chelsea!

Since there is no hope of sticking to it, then simply don't take the lead.

Yes, Pochettino is such a crazy person!

And it seems that this kind of madness makes the current group of young people in Southampton all red-eyed, like bloodthirsty hungry wolves!

"Zhuang Dian Ertai !!"

"Zhuang Dian Ertai !!"

"This is the first round of the 2012-2013 English Premier League that is being broadcast live for you!"

"Manchester City vs promoted Mansouthampton!"

"I'm your old friend Huang Jianxiang!"

"I'm Zhan Jun!"

"After the pre-match ceremonies of the two teams, the game is about to begin."

"Of course, as always, before the game officially starts, please edit the text message to support your favorite team!"

"If you like Manchester City, send it."

On the commentary bench at the Etihad Stadium.

Lao Huang and Zhan Jun began to read the pre-game advertisement, and at this time on the court.

All the Manchester City fans began to sing the Manchester City anthem.

Finally!

There are only a few seconds left on the big screen on the field.

The referee took the whistle in his mouth and put it in his mouth!

"Beep !!"

"With the referee's whistle!"

"The game is officially on!"

"First of all, the starting line-ups for both sides!"

"Manchester City's starting goalkeeper in a traditional blue shirt attacking from left to right: Joe Hart!"

“.”

'Facing the promoted side, Mancini lined up the 4-4-2 formation that Manchester City had been using last season!

"However, compared to Manchester City, everyone is familiar with the starting line-up and formation!"

"Southampton on the other side was a bit of a surprise."

"Yes!"

"In the face of such a formidable opponent as Manchester City, the young Southampton manager Mauricio Pochettino actually came out with a 4-3-3 that no one expected!"

"Starting goalkeeper: Kevin Davis!"

"Left wing-back: Vrazelle Richardson!"

"Centre-back: 1.99 meters tall Daniel Harding and Aaron Martin!"

"Right wing-back: Jose Fonddy!"

"Three midfielders: Richard Chaplow, Lallana, Steve De Ridder!"

"Three strikers: Lee Barnard, David Connolly, Ryan Dubau!"

"You read that right!"

"Against Manchester City, Pochettino is completely attacking Manchester City!"

On the Etihad Stadium!

When Mancini saw Pochettino's formation, he was indeed frightened by Pochettino's boldness.

He really didn't expect that Southampton, as a promoted horse, would dare to play against him on the Etihad Stadium.

Surprised, though, surprised!

This old man is not worried about what his team will suffer in the attack.

Just like on the pitch at this time!

Manchester City, who were the first to win the ball, rushed towards Southampton's backfield as early as the whistle blew.

Just like in training!

Manchester City's attack was launched directly from the flanks without any mud.

Nasri, who has lost a little weight these days, is sprinting frantically along the left flank.

However, Southampton winger Ryan Dubao has been following Nasri since Nasri's activation.

Although Nasri's speed can be said to be the first echelon in the Premier League, Southampton's Ryan Dubao has also relied on speed to make all the Championship team defenses scattered.

Plus midfielder Steve De Ridder's help in defence!

It didn't take long for Nasri to be intercepted on the left side of Southampton.

It's just that Nasri is Nasri after all, even if the two are together, Nasri still relies on his constantly changing feet to firmly control the ball at his feet!

When Sergio Aguero arrived, Nasri took advantage of the situation and slashed the ball to Aguero's feet.

Catch the ball and turn around with a touch!

As the former king of Manchester City, Aguero showed his unparalleled ball sense in front of tens of thousands of Manchester City fans!

However, before Lao Gui came to a passionate one-stop goal.

Lallana, who had been ambushed by Lao Gui's side for a long time, rushed directly over and brutally knocked Aguero to the turf!

The referee who was close at hand didn't say anything!

Lallana, who successfully intercepted the ball at Aguero's feet, immediately turned on the spot, and Southampton's counterattack came.

This moment!

Lee Barnard on the left!

Ryan Dubao on the right was already rushing towards Manchester City's backfield like an arrow from a string.

And David Connolly, who was originally at the front in the middle, ran back weirdly.

Lallana did not hesitate, and after seeing David Connolly's retreat, he immediately sent the ball to David Connolly's feet with a straight kick.

In the same way, the moment you catch the ball!

David Connolly also took the ball out of the way and sent it to Lee Barnard, who had already shaken off David Silva on the left side!

Richards pounced, but before he could get closer, Lee Barnard handed the ball over again.

Adam Lallana!

This young midfielder, who is only 24 years old, finally got a chance to make a final decision in the counterattack he launched!

Mid lane!

David Connolly helped Lallana pull away from Lescott.

It's in this basically stress-free state!

Adam Lallana, who brought the ball to the top of the arc of the Manchester City penalty area, burst out with his right foot and blasted the ball out hard.

A Kick Shot!

The ball sprang up in an instant and flew towards the Manchester City goal.

However, what made Adam Lallana a little uncomfortable was that he realized that he seemed to be too power-hungry after his shot went wide, so he didn't hit the angle.

Joe Hart, who was in excellent position in front of goal, only needed to reach out to block the ball.

Adam Lallana kind of regretted his shot.

However, his regret did not last long.

Because it's right in front of him!

That Manchester City goalkeeper!

Joe Hart, who is known as the strongest goalkeeper in Manchester City's history, actually gave himself a gift he dreamed of!

Obviously, he can hit the ball with a single punch, who would have thought that Joe Hart would choose to pounce with both hands.

With this pounce, Joe Hart, who seemed to be possessed by a butter hand, watched as the football slipped through his hands.

"Beep !!"

The referee's whistle sounded, and at the same time signaled that the goal was effectively pointed to the center circle!

"Boom !!"

The away fans are frying!

It's not just the fans.

On the Southampton bench, including the former coach Pochettino, they all jumped with excitement.

"Oops!"

"It's in!"

"Joe Hart's mistake!"

"A huge, huge, huge mistake!"

"Joe Hart actually slipped the ball between his hands!"

"Although this long-range shot looks powerful, it doesn't have any angle at all!"

"I believe that even if Joe Hart doesn't move just now, he can block the ball with a fist!"

"This goal went in!"

“0：1！”

"Just when everyone thought that Manchester City would slaughter promoted Southampton on their home turf, last season's Championship champions Southampton woke everyone up with a resounding slap in the face!"

"This is the Premier League!"

"There are no underdogs in the Premier League here!"

"Even if it's a promoted horse!"

"They also have the possibility to beat any opponent!!"

Seeing that Manchester City actually conceded the goal first, Zhan Jun naturally sighed.

-

[Haha, this goal was scored, haha laughed at me, I said that Manchester City's current lineup, the biggest hidden danger is this goalkeeper position! ] 】

-

[It's really that sentence If the sky is loved, the sky is old, and I met Hartmund with a kick! ] 】

-

[Damn, I'm laughing to death, it's always my Hart who gets hurt for Mao! ] 】

-

[Not only is it true that if there is love in the sky, the sky is also old, but in fact, the reality is that I don't know the true face of Lushan, and Hart is the background cloth! ] 】

-

[Haha, also, there are thousands of rivers and thousands of mountains are always in love, just see Hart shoot! ] 】

-

[Hey, Hart is really miserable, it's only been 2 minutes! ] Southampton was actually blindsided with such a kick! 】

-

[Actually, except for the quality of this shot, it's not good, don't you see? ] Southampton's counterattack just now was indeed clean! 】

-

[Nonsense, last season's Championship champion, Southampton relied on this line of counterattacks to rush into the Premier League! ] 】

On the pitch!

All the Southampton players were celebrating like crazy.

Joe Hart, who was the background board, sighed with his hands on his hips with a speechless face.

Seeing that his goalkeeper was so pitiful, Kompany, as the captain, could only habitually walk over and pat Hart on the shoulder to comfort him.

Of course!

It's only been a little over a minute into the game, and for City's stars, they didn't feel any pressure from being scored by Southampton.

It's not just the players!

The same goes for Mancini, who was smiling and crying in front of the bench.

Although Lao Man was a little surprised by Joe Hart's mistake just now, Lao Man knew!

The Southamptonians probably won't be happy for long.

No way!

Who made their team have a demon?

Moreover, this is the first time he's seen a team play against a team with the demon Su Qin!

In other words, Barcelona, which was once at its peak, had no way to fight against Su Qin.

He really doesn't know, where did this promoted horse like Southampton get the courage to fight against Manchester City?

PS: The update is unstable, it's really Pippi's fault, handover work, and pack your bags!

Pipsqueak didn't have anything to explain.

I can only say that I can't help but be sorry readers!
