Four hundred and sixtieth chapters all the way down
In these games, Xu Qi's performance was still able to take the ball and catch the ball and cooperate with his teammates.
In the fifth round of the league, when Manchester City met Arsenal.
Xu Qi sat on the bench and came on the bench at a 1-1 score.
Although Xu Qi's performance on the training ground has made him feel puzzled, he is still willing to believe Xu Qi and hopes that Xu Qi can rise up quickly at this time.
However, Xu Qi's performance in this game was worse than before. He couldn't even cooperate with his teammates with some passes. Every time he got the ball, in addition to making mistakes, even on the Etihad court, many fans began to boo Xu Qi.
In the last few minutes, Manchester City was in a panic in front of the goal, but fortunately the team's defense was done well and they almost had to defend a draw.
Unexpectedly, Xu Qi made a pass mistake in the last injury time, giving Arsenal another chance.
Subsequently, German striker Podolski gave Arsenal a final victory, turning the point that Manchester City was about to defend into zero points.
At this moment, Xu Qi began to face greater doubts.
Xu Qi didn't want to apologize, but he could only apologize to the fans. He said it was his own reason and his condition was too bad. He was very grateful to Mancini for his trust, but he also failed Mancini's trust.
Since the beginning of this game, Xu Qi has gradually faded out of Manchester City's main lineup and has even begun to suffer frequent injuries.
In the Champions League group stage, although Manchester City occasionally used Xu Qi, the effect was still not very good.
Therefore, Manchester City's Champions League record is also extremely bad.
After they drew Dortmund, they lost to Real Madrid away.
Even in the two rounds of duel with Ajax, there was no victory.
A defending champion team in the Premier League actually only scored two points after four rounds, and announced the group was eliminated in advance.
In the league, Manchester City also had the first place and began to chase Chelsea and Manchester United in the third position.
After October, Xu Qi was injured and was suspended for one month.
After his comeback, Xu Qi can only appear in the League Cup.
In this way, Xu Qi did not come up with a convincing answer.
Two more months have passed, and the winter break has arrived.
At this time, Xu Qi had already started to participate in the reserve team competition. His current bad situation even Xu Qi himself felt a little miserable.
He had no complaints about his decision to participate in the reserve team competition, and he knew that he had performed poorly.
He also assured the team's senior management that he would recover as soon as possible, but how fast can the so-called "as soon as possible" be?
Manchester City has been eliminated in the Champions League, ranking at the bottom of the group, and its ranking is even worse than Ajax.
If Xu Qi is in good shape like last season, is it possible for Manchester City to squeeze one of Real Madrid or Dortmund from the top two positions?
Many people can't say it, but now, Manchester City has almost forgotten Xu Qi's existence.
People in the football world are always forgetful. Although superstars like Xu Qi are often mentioned, many fans have become accustomed to a Manchester City without Xu Qi.
And Xu Qi, once the first genius in football, the person who has the most hope to hit the throne of Messi and Ronaldo, became a player of Manchester City's reserve team overnight.
This has to be said that Xu Qi has indeed experienced some things that he is difficult to accept. After all, he is the team's original number one star, with his first annual salary and value, but now, his value may have plummeted.
Although Mancini is obsessed with him and even often pays attention to Xu Qi's performance when he participates in the reserve team competition, Xu Qi still does not let him see hope of recovery.
In Manchester City's base, Mancini called out Xu Qi, who was planning to leave the training base.
"Xu, I think we should have a good talk." Mancini definitely doesn't want to miss such a talented ace player.
The decision to sign Xu Qi was made by Mancini, who insisted on Manchester City, and he was also very optimistic about Xu Qi's future.
But now, Xu Qi has become a heart-wrenching problem for him. Although he made considerable contributions to the team last season, Xu Qi is basically forgotten now.
"Mr. Coach, I'm sorry that I can't find my condition anyway, and I don't understand why it is like this." Xu Qi seemed helpless. He knew that Mancini came to him because of his condition.
"I'm sorry that I can only let you participate in the reserve team game. I believe your ability. I originally believed that you would be back soon, but your recent performance can't even play the main players of the reserve team." Mancini said with some regret.
"I know, I don't know why. I have been training hard and I have never lowered my requirements. I know I can still find my form again." Xu Qi has nothing to say now. Although he thinks this is a bit unfair to the Manchester City club, he knows that he can definitely repay Manchester City with the championship in the future.
"Uh." Mancini pondered for a moment and said, "I just received a checkup report from the United States. The situation you went to the United States last month to check. The American experts concluded that there was a problem with your muscles. Now you are not suitable for sports, and they are helpless about your muscle problems."
Mancini was reluctant to tell Xu Qi this news, because he was afraid that the young Xu Qi would not accept it.
However, this was obviously not taken into consideration by Xu Qi. Xu Qi knew that his current muscle problems were caused by the ghost foot plan and the reason for his current poor condition, so he was not surprised at all.
"But I don't plan to give up. I want to continue fighting, and no one can deprive others of the power to continue exercising." Xu Qi's eyes were firm. He knew that he would return to the top, and he knew his situation very well.
"But this is cruel professional football. I think the director of Begiristan sports will talk to you recently." Mancini was also helpless, knowing that this might be a signal of transfer or termination.
"Transfer or terminate the contract?" Xu Qi frowned. He knew the cruelty of competitive sports. He also knew that he was not worthy of having a high salary without contributing to the team. However, he believed that his contribution in the future would make the team feel that it was worth it. However, it seemed that the team did not want to consider the future, or they no longer believed that Xu Qi could return to the top.
This happened to be during the winter break. Xu Qi has not contributed any data to the team in the past six months.
When it comes to transfers, although Xu Qi is not rejected, he is a little unwilling to accept it.
If he cannot prove himself at Manchester City, it means that his arrival at Manchester City is a failed challenge. He doesn’t like failure. He wants to succeed here. This is his obsession!
