Chapter 237 Roman Titans
Four to two.
Six consecutive victories.
Manchester City remained unbeaten this season, and they have achieved a six-game winning streak in the league, which is very close to their own best start record.
Xu Qi recalled his first season with Manchester City, and the league started with n consecutive victories and finally won the Premier League championship.
This season, Xu Qi naturally wants to win another Premier League championship.
It's best to win a triple or even a four-time champion just like last season in France.
Manchester United once had the experience of a triple-winning champion, but that was at the end of the last century.
And that was also the only triple-winning champion for Premier League teams, and Xu Qi's eyes had already projected to such impressive results.
Of course, the season has just begun, so it's too early to think about this.
In this game, Xu Qi not only scored a goal, but also received a full rest. Next, the team returned to home court and waited for the visit of the Serie A powerhouse Roma.
This round of the e-group showdown is Bayern's away challenge to CSKA Moscow;
Manchester City faces Roma at home.
In the first round of the game, Roma swept the CSKA Moscow five-1 at home, becoming the leader of the group after the first round, and also showed very strong strength.
In particular, Gervinho's performance was amazing, and Manchester City's assistant coach also analyzed that Gervinho's point would become the biggest threat to Manchester City.
Of course, the more advantageous side is Manchester City. After all, although Manchester City draws with the first round, its opponent is Bayern Munich, a favorite team to win the championship.
The two qualifying places in this group are basically locked by Bayern and Manchester City, and not many people are optimistic that Roma can break through the two super strong teams.
The game against CSKA Moscow is not of much reference value.
The starting list of both sides has been released. There are still many famous players in the Roma team, but these famous players are a little old.
Their goalkeeper is Polish goalkeeper Sklupusky.
The central defender is the partner of Manoras and Mbiva.
Compared with the young central defender combination, their two full-backs are veterans with more experience, and they are both former world number ones!
The former world's number one right-back Macon and the former world's number one left-back Ashley Cole are now gathering in Rome.
The two of them became two gates in Rome.
In the midfield, Pjanic and Nayingrand plus a former Barcelona player, Keita.
Keita has returned to the mainstream European league after playing in the Chinese Super League for a period of time and is still in excellent form.
Roma's two wings are Florenzi and Gervinho, and in the middle is the old captain Totti.
Roma's deputy De Rossi was unable to play in this game due to injury, while Manchester City's Nasri and Fernando were also injured.
Manchester City's starting lineup in this game has basically not changed much from the previous full-scale lineup.
Hart guards the gate.
On both sides are Sabaletta and Krish.
The center back is the partner of Kompany and Demikelis.
Midfielder Fernantinho partnered with Yaya Toure.
Xu Qi and David Silva are separated from each other.
Aguero and Dzeko acted as centers.
Finally, the exciting start of the game finally arrived.
Manchester City beat the ball up as soon as they came up and wanted to start, and the effect was also very good. Just one minute after the game started, Xu Qi pulled horizontally from the left and passed directly to Aguero.
Aguero led the ball and drilled through between Macon and Manoras.
Maicon, who was no longer the peak, took a step slower and tripped Aguero directly in the penalty area!
Penalty!
There is no doubt that the referee's penalty was very decisive.
Aguero personally took the penalty kick he created and achieved it in one go.
One to zero, Manchester City created a penalty kick less than two minutes into the opening game and was scored by Aguero.
The start of this game was a bit too exciting.
However, afterwards, Roma still stabilized the situation and had the opportunity to threaten Manchester City's goal at the beginning.
And Xu Qi also encountered some trouble.
Roma's coach Garcia also knew Xu Qi's threat and specially sent his subordinate Naingran to guard Xu Qi.
Xu Qi didn't feel anything when he saw this guy who looked a bit like a Japanese and Asian.
But a few minutes later, Xu Qi began to feel disgusted with him. This guy's football style was very dirty.
In fact, although Nainglan is a Belgian, he does have Asian descent and Indonesian descent.
As soon as Xu Qi started, he was given a black foot by Naingran. This guy had already stepped on him several times, but he didn't get a yellow card.
Xu Qi was also unable to show his level under this guy's countless small moves.
His situation was not possible, and Manchester City's entire offense was blocked at all.
But in a very short time, the game was only thirteen minutes before Roma created an opportunity to tie the score.
This goal came from Totti, who assisted him was precisely Naingran, who had done a very successful job in defending Xu Qi.
Seeing this scene, Xu Qi's face turned gloomy.
"This guy..."
After Manchester City kicked off, they besieged Roma again.
Xu Qi is the one who is the core of Manchester City's midfielder participating in the organization of offense.
This time facing Naingalan, Xu Qi made two fake moves and directly dodged Naingalan and rushed into the penalty area.
Now Nainglan couldn't help but directly threw Xu Qi to the ground with a flying shovel from the side.
Xu Qi hugged his legs in pain, gritted his teeth, and sweated coldly.
The whole Manchester City team surrounded him and wanted to deal with Naingran's bastard.
The referee finally pulled away the players on both sides and gave Naingran a yellow card to calm the anger of the players on both sides.
However, a yellow card was obviously not enough to calm the anger that Naingran flew Xu Qi made Etihad Stadium.
The referee was booed by the audience, which also embarrassed him.
Manchester City won a set piece in the frontcourt, but this set piece did not get a chance to attack.
After a brief treatment, Xu Qi returned to the court and looked fine.
But next, as long as Naingran appears in the fans' sight, he will inevitably be booed the most violently in the audience.
The boo made players like Naingran, who were extremely thick-skinned and often endured booing, look a little ugly.
Today, his flying tackle Xu Qi completely offended Manchester City fans at the Etihad Stadium.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Qi continued to take the ball and rushed towards Nainglan with the ball.
With his left foot faded and his right foot forward, Xu Qi instantly dodged Naingalan, not giving Naingalan time to react. Then Xu Qi directly shot with his right foot!
The ball flew straight towards the goal.
However, the ball was too straight and did not stump Roma goalkeeper Klupusky.
Although the ball was not scored, Xu Qi's breakthrough this time still received endless applause from the audience.
Manchester City fans like to watch this scene, and many fans couldn't help but shout: "He's dead!"
Naingran, who was shaken away by Xu Qi, was relieved to see the ball not making, but he really realized that the defensive task assigned to him by Garcia was really important.
Chapter completed!
