Now they have signed Nasri and Krish from Arsenal, consolidating their own strength while also striking the strength of their competitors.

No wonder after Manchester City won the fourth place in the Premier League last season, some media joked that Arsenal was snatched away by Manchester City and was poached by Manchester City.

In addition to poaching from Arsenal, given that Vieira retires, Yaya Toure will participate in the African Cup of Nations early next year, Mancini also signed Hargreaves for free, which is a way to make up for the midfield.

However, since Hargreaves has been recovering from injuries for almost most of the past two years, it is still unknown whether the former England international can succeed in the Blue Moon Legion.

In addition, Manchester City handled marginalist Bellamy to Liverpool, a deal considered by the media to be a mutually beneficial operation.

...

New Wembley Stadium.

Fang Jue was sitting in the coaching seat, holding Manchester City's starting list in his hand.

The goalkeeper is England goalkeeper Joe Hart.

On the back line are Richards, Lescott, Kompani and Kolarov.

The midfielders are Gareth Barry, De Jong, Yaya Toure and David Silva.

On the front line is a combination of Balotelli and Bosnia and Herzegovina scorer Dzeko.

Fang Jue glanced at Manchester City's bench, and Aguero was sitting there quietly.

It seems that Mancini is still very cautious and let Aguero sit on the bench and slowly get along with the team.

On the bench of Manchester City, there is also the little Warcraft Adebayo.

There is also Krish who was introduced from Arsenal.

It is also necessary for Fang Jue to have his former favorite player Quaresma.

Fang Jue's expression was serious. In his eyes, the strength of this Manchester City team was very strong.

Even in terms of paper strength, he thinks this Manchester City is even better than Manchester United and Chelsea.

Well, in this game, let’s test the new quality of this Manchester City team, which was built by Arab tycoons with a lot of money.

Fang Jue was looking and thinking about this brand new Manchester City.

Mancini was also staring at the field with his chin, and he was also studying this Aston Villa.

Shevchenko, Ronaldo, Deisler, Barack, Roberto Enke, Quelial, Sidwell, Davis, Marshall...

Aston Villa has as many as nine players left the team, which can be said to be a major change for a team that has just won the European championship.

In terms of signings, Aston Villa has currently introduced young goalkeeper De Gea, Thornton, veteran Klose, and young De Bruyne who looks like the protagonist of a comic book.

In Mancini's view, Aston Villa's recruitment quality is worrying.

This is the two consecutive years that dominate the Premier League, and after just reaching the top of Europe, Fang Jue has begun to float?

Mancini is naturally happy about this.

It's OK to float!

He wished Fang Jue had Alzheimer's disease.

...

Fang Jue did not arrange for De Gea to start. The starting goalkeeper of today's game was 40-year-old American goalkeeper Friedel.

The centre-back is the partner of Coolibali and Sendros.

Right back is Kyle Walker.

The left-back is Milner.

The midfielders are Clement, Modric, Gareth Bale, and Thaddio Mane.

On the front line are Suarez and veteran Klose.

Mancini looked at Aston Villa's starting lineup.

Frown.

He looked at Aston Villa's bench again.

I saw Abonrajo, Valdi, James Rodriguez, De Bruyne, Stroman, Danny Ross and others.

Except for the bench being very thin, it is not as good as Manchester City.

Aston Villa's starting lineup is basically all old-fashioned.

Is this a team with nine players gone?

Mancini was surprised to realize that Fang Jue was definitely not unprepared for the departure of Ronaldo, Barack and others. He was always preparing for the renewal of Aston Villa.

Looking at the eleven starting players now, Mancini has to admit that although this starting lineup is a bit worse than Aston Villa's starting lineup last season, it is still very strong.

Mancini is interested, but he wants to see if facing this slightly "degraded" Aston Villa, can he win, which is stronger than last season, Manchester City?!
