The Premier League has passed three rounds, and there are only two teams that have maintained a three-game winning streak, which happens to be Manchester Lā

The top spot in the league is not Manchester City, but Manchester United. It originally felt that Manchester City was terrifying enough, but Manchester United's record was actually even more terrifying than Manchester City.

With the same three consecutive wins, Manchester United has more goals than Manchester City.

Moreover, in the fourth round of the league, Manchester United won Bolton with a 5-0 victory.

Manchester City is not willing to fall behind. Although Xu Qi is out of the game due to injury, the team still tried its best to win a three-to-zero victory, and both Manchester's two champions won four consecutive victories.

Judging from this situation, the main theme of this season's Premier League championship competition will probably be the competition between Manchester City and Manchester United, two Manchester two-man teams.

After this round of league, we entered a short offseason and recently there was an international match day.

Every time this day comes, Xu Qi will still consciously go to the training ground to train. Even if the main players in the team have gone to the national team to report, Xu Qi will still be happy to train with those young players.

Xu Qi has almost recovered and can train with the young players on the training ground calmly.

The young men in the reserve team were also very happy to be able to train with Xu Qi. In fact, the players in this group of reserve team may not be younger than Xu Qi, but Xu Qi is now an international superstar, so he is naturally not on the same level as them.

With the end of the international match day, all the main players return to the team. The next important task of the team is to face the next first Champions League match.

This is also the third season in Xu Qi's career where he can play in the Champions League. In the first season, Xu Qi and the team won the quarterfinals. Last season, he and his teammates entered the Champions League semi-finals. This time he joined a brand new team again. His target season with his teammates to attack the championship.

On September 15, a focus battle in the first round of the Champions League group stage finally began. Manchester City faced Naples, a powerful team from Serie A, at home.

The first Champions League trip in Manchester City's history will of course attract a lot of fans to watch the game on the spot.

The Etihad Stadium was once again full.

The media around the world before this game were of course more optimistic about Manchester City, but Naples was also coming in full force, and a suspenseful battle finally began.

In the Napoli team, goalkeeper De Sanctis, and the defense are Campaniaro, Cannavaro Jr. and Aronica.

The two midfielders are No. 88 Inle and No. 23 Gargano.

Macho Hamsik and Suniga are in the frontcourt.

On the front line, there are Ravic and Cavani's partners.

There are also elite soldiers like Pandev and Santana on their bench.

This is a defensive system of three defenders, but in the afternoon, Marjo on the right side and Suniga on the left side can actually retreat to the full-back position. Once you retreat, you will become a five-back.

Of course, Manchester City played all the main players in this game, but Xu Qi did not start.

Hart still guards the goal, with the four defenders Kolarov, Lescott, Kompani and Sabaleta.

The midfielder is Bari and Yaya Toure's partner, David Silva on the right and Nasri on the left.

The front line is still Aguero and Dzeko.

Xu Qi Tevez sat on the bench.

Nasri has performed very well recently. He has become a contributor to the team's winning game in this game where Xu Qi was absent due to injury. Therefore, although Xu Qi has just returned, Mancini still believes in Nasri more.

In fact, the relevant news was circulating last week, basically saying that the main position of Manchester City's top star Xu Qi is no longer guaranteed, and Nasri's performance at Manchester City has surpassed Xu Qi. Many media suggested that if Mancini is more courageous, Nasri should start.

Although Xu Qi has broken the goal drought and has the first record in the battle with Tottenham, it is indeed too regrettable to end up in the first 30 minutes due to injury. Nasri, who came on as a substitute, helped Manchester City win three consecutive assists. In the last round of the league, Nasri also performed very well and was a great contributor to the team's winning.

Moreover, Nasri, who was once the main player of Arsenal, has adapted to the Premier League. He has more advantages than Xu Qi. As a new player, Nasri is indeed more satisfactory.

The competition officially started.

In Manchester City's first Champions League match, Xu Qi was unable to start, which undoubtedly disappointed many fans, but the game still needs to be watched.

Xu Qi may not have no chance to play as a substitute.

Of course, even if Xu Qi doesn't play, everyone is more optimistic about Manchester City, which plays at home. This team's lineup is indeed too strong.

Historically, the two teams have never met. Manchester City kicked off first, and they used their home advantage to implement a strong offensive strategy against Napoli at the beginning of the game.

Nasri still showed his general style, completing a shot three minutes into the game, which looked like Xu Qi's iconic far-angle arc shot, but the ball still missed.

The broadcast footage was given to Xu Qi sitting on the bench, which made people think a lot.

Two minutes later, Napoli also got the opportunity. They intercepted the ball in the backcourt and launched a quick counterattack. The starting point of the counterattack was Marjo in their oil-based road. Marjo dribbled the ball for dozens of meters and then passed the ball to Cavani.

After Cavani received the ball, he got a chance to kick the ball outside the penalty area and directly kicked the ball. The ball crossed the crossbar and flew into the stands.

Naples also showed their very fast and efficient counterattack ability. Cavani's kick also made Manchester City dare not underestimate it.

Although the situation on the court is controlled by Manchester City, once they make mistakes, the counterattack of Napoli will be too terrifying.

Hamsik, Ravic and Cavani are all very powerful in the rapid counterattack. Their speed and efficiency make Manchester City's defense scared.

In the 23rd minute, Sabaleta made a tackle and tackled Ravic, so he was warned by a yellow card. Both of them were Argentina internationals, but in the club competition, they naturally refused to give in to each other.

Then, Ravic passed the ball into the penalty area, almost giving Cavani a chance to play with a quasi-one shot. Unfortunately, Cavani failed to stop the ball well, and the next shot did not kick the ball in the right direction.

The score of zero to zero has been maintained. Manchester City did not score in the first half at home, and the score of zero to zero has remained until the end of the first half.

And Xu Qi was sitting on the bench and looked at the situation expressionlessly.

Xu Qi believes that if he can be replaced and played, he will definitely bring goals to the team. The situation seems difficult now, especially on Ma Qiao, which is actually easy to become a breakthrough, but Nasri has not found an opportunity.
