Manchester City's record of tying AC Milan is the focus of media discussion.

Manchester City's value of tying the record is one of the focus of everyone's discussion, but after Saky's speech, this debate tends to become weaker and weaker. Since Saky, the record creator, has no objection and highly praised Manchester City, what qualifications do other people have to point fingers? Continue to be entangled with the value of tycoon, that is not to make things difficult for Manchester City, but to hit AC Milan in the face.

Anyway, after Saki's speech, the Milan Sports newspaper only had praise and congratulations to Manchester City, and there was no doubt about it.

However, there were still some doubts in the Turin Sports Daily, but it was soon drowned.

Now everyone is more concerned about another thing.

Since the record has been tied, there is nothing to discuss.

Now it's time to think about what next step should Manchester City, which tied the record?

They are only one game away from setting their own record.

In the fourth round of the league, they will face Wigan Athletics at Manchester City Stadium.

As long as they can not lose to Wigan Athletics, they will set a brand new record.

Manchester City shouldn't miss such an opportunity, but Wigan Athletics may not let Manchester City step on their bodies to the top and engrave itself on Manchester City's record-breaking supporting roles list forever.

In addition, Wigan Athletics is a tough and tenacious team. They once created a "family massacre" against Chelsea, causing both Chelsea goalkeepers to be injured. Cech even wore a tank helmet because of his serious injury in this game, and his performance plummeted. Cech was the second only goalkeeper in the world after Buffon before being injured, but after being injured, his performance was not stable enough and was gradually surpassed by Casillas.

So if the strong Wigan Athletics is unwilling to be a supporting role and adopts a lot of killing tactics in the game... Manchester City must also think twice. Anyway, they have tied the record, and their motivation will be reduced a little. As long as they encounter tenacious resistance from their opponents, they may give up?

However, before this game, Manchester City has to play a European Super Cup first.

In fact, the match against Tottenham Hotspur was the first game in three rounds and was also to give way to the European Super Cup.

After playing against Tottenham Hotspur, the whole Manchester City team did not celebrate.

So I went to Monaco to prepare for the European Super Cup.

At the same time, many players in Manchester City have to attend the Champions League draw ceremony and award ceremony.

Walking on the red carpet in Monaco is no longer new to glory.

As the top scorer of every season in the Champions League, as long as he participates in the Champions League, he will definitely walk on the red carpet once.

Last season, although Messi performed well and scored fifteen goals in the Champions League, Rongguang still completed a counterattack against Messi with sixteen goals with a hat trick in the final. He also clearly retained his strength in the final, otherwise he could have completed the big four in the final. At that time, he would not lead Messi by one goal, but two goals.

Even though he showed mercy, he won the Champions League top scorer, which shows how strong he is.

Today's Glory is used to going back to the red carpet and playing on the Champions League podium again.

Even though he was the most dazzling star on the red carpet, everyone's eyes were focused on him. When he appeared, the flash was like the galaxy in the sky, and the fans screamed desperately, shouting his name...

In this regard, Rong Guang just calmed down and smiled on the ground and waved his hand.

In the venue, Rongguang met Messi.

He smiled and nodded at Messi, saying hello.

Messi was a little embarrassed and didn't act very naturally.

He seems to have not come back to his senses from the Champions League defeat.

At the Champions League awards ceremony, Manchester City, who won the Champions League championship, became the biggest winner. Except for the best goalkeeper who missed Barcelona goalkeeper Valdes, all the other best awards were won by Manchester City.

The best defender was awarded to Lucio, the best midfielder belonged to Sneijder, and the best forward and the best scorer were both honors.

The best player is also a glory.

In the Best Eleven, Lucio, Zabaleta, Sneijder, David Silva and Ibrahimovic were selected, accounting for half of the city.

The best coach of the Champions League was also given to Manchester City's head coach Benitez.

When Glory came on stage to receive the trophy for Best Player, he delivered a brief speech on his winning statement.

"I am very happy to be the honor of the best player. But now is not the time to be happy. I will continue to work hard and move towards higher goals. I hope Manchester City can become the first team to defend the Champions League since the reform of the Champions League. I will do my best to do this, thank you!"

After saying that, the hall in the scene was quiet for a moment, and then there was a thunderous applause.

It is no longer news that Rongguang wants to defend the Champions League. This is known to all Europe, but now it seems that he is working hard in this direction.

When others saw him expressing his firmness, they also had the idea of ​​seeing how far he could do.

Some things that are impossible in their minds. If it were Rong, it might be possible to do it...

At the same time as the award ceremony, the group draw ceremony of the Champions League group stage this season was also interspersed with each other.

As the defending champion, Manchester City is not a seed team, because the standard for the seed team in the Champions League is calculated based on the European points in the past few seasons. Although Manchester City won the Champions League last season, their points rose sharply, there were too many seasons they missed before.

They have only played for two seasons recently, and their points are at most No.1 among the second-level teams.

This classification rule certainly makes many Manchester City fans very unhappy - the defending champion is actually just a second-level team, which is too contemptuous, right?

But you have to know that what is even more unpleasant is actually the fans of the eight seed teams.

Because this division means that the seed team will be separated from the defending champion... This is something that no one wants.

Who wants to be in the same group with Manchester City, which is now in the limelight?

Since Manchester City returned to the Champions League in 40 years, the group they were in for two consecutive seasons can be called a group of death... Whoever is in the same group with them will be unlucky.

In the first season, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich became popular, but after being assigned to the same group with Manchester City, they returned home without even qualifying for the group stage.

In the second season, defending champion Inter Milan was divided into a group with Manchester City, but they almost failed to qualify in the group... They were also stumbling in the end.

So, Manchester City is almost a curse. Whoever is in the same group with them may not be able to go out of the line. The stronger the team, the more this is.

Therefore, the seeds don't want to be in the same group as Manchester City.

The seeds in England are a little bit more careful at this time, because teams from the same league cannot meet in the group stage.

The managers of other national league teams, although they looked calm and composed on the surface during the draw, were praying in their hearts, hoping not to be in the same group as Manchester City.

In the end, they were assigned to a group with Porto, Russian Premier League team St. Petersburg Zenit, and Cyprus team Greeks.

This result made all European giants breathe a sigh of relief, except Porto.

However, sacrificing Porto alone to save everyone, it is considered a death to the point...

When announcing Porto and Manchester City were in the same group, the TV camera quickly cut to the Porto manager's face, and a wry smile appeared on his face. Although it disappeared quickly, it was still captured by the TV broadcast.

Coincidentally, in the European Super Cup the next night, Manchester City's opponent was last season's League Cup champion Porto.

Under their former coach Boas, Porto won the Portuguese Premier League, Portuguese Cup and League Cup last season and became the triple crown.

However, the Porto coach in Manchester City's match this time is no longer Boas.

The successful Boas took over Ancelotti's coach this summer and became the head coach of the Blues Chelsea.

Boas, known as "Mr. Mourinho II", does feel like Mourinho in his coaching experience. He all succeeded in Porto and went to Chels. Moreover, Boas is indeed related to Mourinho and was deeply influenced by Mourinho. When Mourinho coached Porto, he was Porto's assistant coach. Later, Mourinho went to Chelsea, and he continued to coach Chelsea as an assistant coach.

So for him, this time going to Chelsea was not an adventure in a strange place.

However, Manchester City's opponent is not him now, and the two sides will compete in the Premier League.

And now Porto's coach has become Pereira.

For Pereira, the competition in the European Super Cup may be more important. Through this game, you can experience Manchester City personally, so as to accumulate experience for the next Champions League group stage.

As for the European Super Cup championship... this is actually secondary.

After the draw results came out, Pereira expressed a similar view in an interview: "We are lucky to be able to understand our opponents first through the European Super Cup. Manchester City has always been a very strong team. I was surprised that they were actually second-level teams... Such a team should be a seed team..."

In the end, he couldn't help but complain about this group.

In fact, what he said should be translated like this:
Chapter completed!
