Chapter 453 The bloody storm that just started
After the victory over Fulham, Manchester City's luck seems to improve.
First, Levante, dazzled by Manchester City's pounding, agreed to sell Keylor Navas during the winter break.
And it wasn't just Levante who was stunned by the pound. Although Kailor Navas didn't want to go to Manchester City as a substitute, he was still struggling after seeing the annual salary that Manchester City offered him.
There is an old saying in China that money can turn ghosts, and the charm of money will always be irresistible.
Joining Manchester City, Keylor Navas can not only get a good salary, but also get more attention, which Levante will never give him.
Here, the signing negotiation of Kailor Navas has entered the final stage, and in the team, Barry, who was injured for almost [-] days, finally returned to the team for recovery training.
After Rodwell was injured for two months, De Jong's instability made Manchester City too eager for Barry's comeback.
The two defensive midfielders of Manchester City, Yaya Toure's offensive power is powerful, and Barry's defense is stable. The two cooperate seamlessly, which is the greatest guarantee for Manchester City to attack the city.
Now that Barry is about to return from injury, there is no better news than this.
On January 1, in the second round of the English League Cup semi-final, Manchester City played against Bradford at home.
In the last game, Manchester City lost 3-1 at Bradford's home court. Pellegrini still has no intention of getting back to the game.
A full rotation of substitute players started, and Yang Mo, Aguero, Ibrahimovic and others didn't even make the squad.
Obviously, with two goals behind, Pellegrini did not want to fight for the League Cup.
The FA Cup will be played in three days, and there will be a more intensive schedule. After injuries, Manchester City cannot support the pressure of the four-line battle.
So it is no surprise that, despite scoring a goal in the first half against Bradford's iron barrel, Manchester City was eventually eliminated from the Carabao Cup due to 3-2 in two legs.
But after the game, it returned to Pellegrini's loss that not many media criticized Pellegrini.
Because of the British media, there are better targets than the low-key Pellegrini.
That is Mourinho.
Because in this round of the English League Cup, Mourinho's first game back to Chelsea was to take over the mess left by Benitez behind by two goals.
I think when Madman led Chelsea for the first time, because of his unruly personality, he created news for the media. The media's love for Mourinho far exceeds that of Pellegrini.
In the second round of the English League Cup this time, Mourinho did not disappoint the media who wanted to watch the excitement.
Chelsea, who rushed to the away game against Swansea, fell under Swansea's tenacious defense.
At the end of the game, despite scoring a goal in this game, Chelsea were eliminated because of the two rounds behind.
Chelsea was eliminated, the media will naturally not miss the opportunity to add insult to injury, one-sidedly ridiculed Mourinho,
After the game, when Yang Mo returned to the apartment and turned on the computer, seeing the media on the Internet as if it was Chinese New Year, he couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic to Mourinho.
It has only been a week since he took over Chelsea, and the team is not yet familiar with it, so it is necessary to wipe Benitez's ass. It is news that this game can be won.
It is really inappropriate to blame Mourinho for the loss.
If it is necessary to find a blame for the loss of this game, it should actually be counted on Hazard.
In the 65th minute of the second half, when Chelsea was getting better and the score was recovered by one point, Hazard was sent off by the referee for an uncool conflict.
As a result, Chelsea, who had one less player to fight, completely lost the chance of a comeback.
But after the game, the media ignored Hazard's red card and blamed Mourinho for the loss.
But who made Mourinho's previous temper so unpopular with the media, no one spoke for Mourinho when he was kicked out of Real Madrid, and he was thrown into trouble by the British media when he came to the Premier League.
And Mourinho's temperament is also the reason why Yang Mo is not optimistic about the opponent's ability to control Manchester City.
In this day and age, it is no longer enough for a head coach to rely solely on authority, and an ungrounded head coach is destined to be difficult to go far.
But seeing this, Yang Mo couldn't help but also thank Mourinho for helping Manchester City attract firepower, otherwise they would be the ones who are being attacked by the media now.
In this way, in the media's attack on Mourinho, the three-day truce passed quickly.
On January 1, Manchester City's second FA Cup game of the season came.
In this game, Manchester City rushed to the away game and faced Stoke City, their opponent who had just played in the 21st round of the league.
Compared with giving up in the English League Cup in the last game, although Pellegrini still carried out a part of the rotation in the FA Cup, the key players still all started.
Yang Mo, Aguero, and Ibrahimovic, the three sharp-edged strikers, did not pull down any of them.
The most important thing is that Barry, who was injured for more than 40 days, finally entered the squad, which made many Manchester City happy and elated.
Facing such a Manchester City, even if Stoke City sits at home, it has not been able to withstand the repeated bombardment of Manchester City's terrifying striker.
After the whole game, although Yang Mo failed to complete the goal hat-trick like in the league, he created a penalty kick and scored himself, and also created an assist.
With his help, Manchester City easily took away Stoke City with two goals and advanced to the last [-] of the FA Cup.
In the game, when Barry replaced De Jong in the second half, Manchester City fans were even more delighted.
After Kompany and Barry all returned from injury, Manchester City's hidden dangers in the lineup were finally alleviated.
To everyone's surprise, when the complete Manchester City returned to the league, it immediately set off a bloodbath.
On January 1, in the 30th round of the Premier League, Manchester City rushed to an away game against Bolton.
In this game, Pellegrini's details of the team's transformation have begun to show results, and the Manchester City team has blossomed more, completely ignoring Bolton.
In the first half, Ibrahimovic, Aguero and Barry each scored a goal to help Manchester City lead by three goals.
Among the three goals, Aguero's goal was scored by Yang Mo himself, and the free kick that Barry headed into the penalty area was also created by Yang Mo.
After entering the second half, Yang Mo, who had not scored in the first half, finally opened.
From 67 minutes to 10 minutes, Yang Mo scored two goals in 3 minutes, scored twice, and expanded the score to 0-5.
By this time, Bolton had been completely demoralized by Manchester City.
But Manchester City, who kicked the ball, did not intend to let go.
In the 79th minute, Yang Mo dribbled the ball from the left to the bottom line and crossed it inward. He suddenly made a pass and assisted Silva to score a goal, making the score 0-6.
Immediately after 82 minutes, Yang Mo cut in again and picked a pass. Ibrahimovic scored twice with a volley shot and expanded the score to 0-7.
So far, Yang Mo has completed his first assists hat-trick this season.
By this time, Manchester City, which is leading by seven goals, is actually no longer obsessed with scoring goals, but sometimes you won't score if you don't want to.
In 85 minutes, Aguero dribbled the ball from the right and was dragged down by Bolton players. The referee awarded a free kick.
Kolarov took a free kick and scored directly with a deadly machete. The score came to 0-8.
In the stands of Bolton's Reebok Stadium, the fans of the home team looked at the score with complicated expressions.
Last season, it was precisely because of the help of Manchester City that Bolton succeeded in overtaking Queens Park Rangers in the last round to avoid relegation.
So for Manchester City, Bolton fans are grateful.
But watching Manchester City slaughter Bolton bloody at this time, they really didn't know what to do, and they scolded Manchester City for being cruel or the home team for being incompetent.
When the unaffected fans saw this, they couldn't bear to continue watching, turned around and left the stadium.
And when the game was over, the outside media were surprised by Manchester City's 8-goal massacre of Bordeaux and Yang Mo's 20 consecutive goals.
They didn't know that the bloody storm hanging over Manchester City had only just begun.
