The new season of the Premier League officially kicks off after the closing of the London Olympics.

Manchester City will play against Southampton at home in the first match.

Although Xu Qi's training in pre-season training was not very systematic, Mancini still chose to believe in his favorite players and put Xu Qi in the starting lineup.

However, Xu Qi's performance was average. Manchester City defeated Southampton with Tevez's double score and Dzeko's goal three-to-two.

Nasri gave two assists, and Yaya Toure also gave one assist.

And Xu Qi did not win in this game.

In this game, Xu Qi had already clearly felt that his ability was declining. Not only did his feet slow down, but his speed was not as explosive as before.

"It's really bad. It's so bad that I'm in such a situation. Can I endure such a dilemma?" After the game, Xu Qi couldn't help but laugh at himself, but now there is no way back. Xu Qi must insist on training on ghost feet and wait for the arrival of his period of ghost feet to become a perfect match.

The news of Xu Qi's personal performance is bad, but for Manchester City, one of the good news for this round is that the championship rival Manchester United lost to Everton in an upset, and fell behind Manchester City at the beginning of the league.

Because of this reason, Xu Qi did not receive much criticism or doubt from the media. After all, this is only the first game of the new season, and the team did not lose. Instead, it was under heavy pressure that his arch-rival Manchester United team in the same city.

However, in the second round, Xu Qi's pressure came, and Manchester City tied with Liverpool on the road.

Xu Qi still made no contributions, and seemed a little out of place with the entire team on the offensive end. Moreover, the pace was significantly slower than last season.

If Tevez hadn't made a contribution to savior again in the end, Manchester City would have been killed by Liverpool.

It is already a good result to save a draw.

After this game, Xu Qi's poor condition was also pointed out by some media.

However, they still trust Xu Qi's ability. They put Xu Qi's problems in place. Before the season, the training was not systematic. Xu Qi participated in too many business activities about the European Cup and Olympics.

In fact, Xu Qi couldn't push down the business activities, and he pushed down all the things he could push down. His training before the season was very systematic, but because he was in a bad state now, it was determined by the media and experts that he did not train well before the season.

In fact, if a player does not train systematically before the season, he will gain some weight. Xu Qi's figure is still very well-proportioned and looks strong.

But he is in a bad state.

In the third round of the league, Manchester City defeated the Queens Park Rangers 3-1, and Xu Qi got the starting chance again. However, before Xu Qi left the game, the score of this game was still one-to-one.

When Xu Qi left the court, Dzeko and Tevez scored two goals in a row to help the team secure the victory, and Xu Qi's contribution was an embarrassing "0".

At this point, although the team won, Xu Qi's condition has been observed by many people. The new season has been starting for two weeks, and Xu Qi's performance on the court is obviously not as good as last season.

Last season, Xu Qi never encountered a situation where he did not contribute in a row. Even if he did not contribute, he could use his breakthroughs to perform wonderful performances in the game. In today's match against the Queen's Park Rangers, Xu Qi's successful breakthroughs were "0".

Not only 0 goals and 0 assists, but even the number of breakthroughs has become 0.

Xu Qi has become the redundant one of the team. Although he still has a large number of fans to protect Xu Qi, Xu Qi's poor condition is an unconcealable fact.

Mancini's excessive trust in Xu Qi also made many people question his coaching level.

However, Manchester City's record of two wins and one draw has not yet made this matter exaggerated.

At the same time, Manchester City was once again divided into the death group that could not be killed again in the Champions League.

Real Madrid, Manchester City, Dortmund, Ajax.

At this time, Manchester City naturally needs Xu Qi's outstanding form. Manchester City fans hope that Xu Qi's form will recover as soon as possible to help the team successfully emerge from the group of death.

In the Champions League last season, facing such a death group, it was thanks to Xu Qi's outstanding performance that helped the team reach the top 16 of the Champions League.

Later, Xu Qi was injured and Manchester City stopped in the quarterfinals.

This season, Manchester City was brought to such a more terrifying group by UEFA, and Xu Qi seemed to be in poor condition.

Judging from the situation in the group stage, Manchester City's lineup may be slightly stronger than Dortmund, but if you really fight, Dortmund's overall nature seems to be stronger, and Manchester City may not be able to take advantage.

At this time, Manchester City must need the key performance of superstars.

In the fourth round of the league, Xu Qi rested, Manchester City defeated Stoke City 2-1 away, and the situation of the entire team seemed to be very average. At this time, Manchester City ushered in the first round of the Champions League group stage.

They faced Dortmund's challenge at home.

In this critical battle, Mancini still trusts Xu Qi, who is in poor form recently. In the game, Xu Qi's performance still did not conquer the vast number of Manchester City fans and local media in Manchester.

Dortmund took the lead at the Etihad Stadium early, and their wing Reus made Manchester City's defense miserable. In contrast, Manchester City's wing superstar Xu Qi did not cause much trouble for Dortmund.

In the end, Manchester City only equalized the score with a penalty from Balotelli.

One to one, Manchester City tied at home in the first home game.

This is similar to the first match of the Champions League group stage last season.

After the game, Dortmund coach Klopp made a wild statement, saying that he was actually very prepared for Xu Qi before the game, but Xu Qi did not let him use all the moves against Xu Qi.

Klopp also deliberately compared Reus with Xu Qi. He said he didn't understand why Xu Qi had a high value of 70 million. If Xu Qi was worth 70 million, then Reus could definitely be worth 100 million.

In fact, Reus is also the best among the younger generation. He is about the same age as Xu Qi, has a similar height, and looks.

However, in recent years, Xu Qi has almost become the first person in the younger generation, and young talents like Reus have been suppressed by Xu Qi's influence.

In response, Klopp also strongly supported his beloved disciple in this game. He even said that if Xu Qi was in his formation, it would be difficult for him to get the position of the main force.

Neither Gotze, Reus, or Lewandowski, their positions are beyond Xu Qi's ability to shake.

Xu Qi was a little angry when he said this, but he was just sorry for his performance in front of the media. At this time, he could only endure it. The so-called endurance of humiliation is the case.
