I don't just score goals

Manchester City received an invitation from the United States for the International Champions Cup.

But in the summer, the team went through a coaching change and the recruiting lineup was replaced.

In order to allow the team to have a more complete summer preparation, the club declined the invitation.

The club does not lack the little prize money for participating.

Play a warm-up match locally.

Pellegrini inspected the players' status and practiced technical and tactical play.

During the warm-up match, Hao Qiang tried a single forward and double forward style of play.

The double forward is his partner Aguero.

The more popular ones nowadays are still the 4231 or 433 system.

No matter which system, Hao Qiang is an unstoppable main center.

Therefore, this makes Aguero's position a bit awkward. He can play as a winger, but the effect is not as good as that of a center.

Pellegrini can only adapt to circumstances.

When Manchester City spent 150 million euros to bring Hao Qiang to the Etihad Stadium, no matter what his abilities and characteristics were, Pellegrini would definitely put him in the starting lineup first.

Unless it is proven through actual competition that his performance did not meet expectations.

The more expensive the player, the more patience the club will give.

Some players may be relegated to the sidelines by the club after a few poor games, but for a star with Hao Qiang's worth, at least the start of the season is the evaluation period.

Even if his performance in his first Premier League season is poor, Manchester City must continue to use him.

This is determined by his worth.

Otherwise the club's investment will be in vain.

Before the start of the new season, Hao Qiang's team announced the construction of a stadium in the country.

As the number one star in Chinese football, Hao Qiang leads by example and contributes to China’s youth training.

At the same time, he also established a charitable foundation.

10% of his personal income is donated to charity each year.

Domestic fans and fans applauded.

Hao Qiang’s personal influence further increased.

tv1, was elected as a model idol in Chinese football.

In fact, he just nodded and agreed to some things. The specific implementation was run by his team, while he personally focused on preparing for the new season.

Before the Premier League opener arrives.

Fleet Street, on the other hand, is not optimistic about Manchester City's prospects.

"L'Equipe": Yaya Toure is dissatisfied with Hao Qiang's super annual salary. He thinks he is the leading brother of Manchester City!

"Daily Mail": Aguero is uneasy about his own prospects and is chilled by the actions of Manchester City's senior management.

"Guardian": Dzeko is in despair at the Etihad Stadium and seeks a transfer!

Some of the revelations in Fleet Street were probably not based on mere speculation.

Hao Qiang can feel a strange atmosphere in the team.

The Premier League opener is here.

Manchester City plays Newcastle United at home.

Hao Qiang, wearing the No. 10 jersey, attracted much attention when he made his debut.

Manchester City started 433.

Goalkeeper: Joe Hart.

Defenders: Zabaleta, Kompany, Lescott, Clichy.

Midfielder: Yaya Toure, Silva, Fernandinho.

Forwards: Navas, Hao Qiang, Aguero.

Newcastle United played 4312 away from home.

Goalkeeper: Krul.

Defenders: Debuchy, Coloccini, Stephen Taylor, Mbiwa.

Midfielder: Sissoko, Ben Arfa, Tiote, Gutierrez.

Forward: Cisse, Gufran.

With a whistle, the game began.

Hao Qiang actively ran in the frontcourt to support Newcastle United's midfield defense. It can be said that they adopted a three-midfielder formation.

Manchester City and Newcastle United quickly attacked and defended, and Manchester City was more proactive.

The Premier League continues to play at a fast pace, which is obviously at least two levels ahead of Serie A in terms of pace.

At the same time, Hao Qiang was entangled by his opponent's physical confrontation and made small pulling movements during the response, but the referee turned a blind eye as if such actions were taken for granted.

The man caught in the siege naturally has concise techniques and handles the ball quickly.

Hao Qiang dealt with it with ease.

It was just the opponent's entanglement and small movements that made it difficult for him to dribble forward while carrying the opponent.

When Newcastle United players frequently raise their legs to intercept, with fierce kicks and more serious blocking intentions, even if Hao Qiang is tripped to the ground sometimes, the referee will not blow the whistle.

This made him wonder if he had been targeted by the referee!

But when other people encountered the same situation, the referee did not call it.

Now I feel mentally balanced.

The penalty scale of the Premier League is like the waistband of cotton pants. It needs to be as loose as possible.

Pellegrini, like Manchester City fans, focused on Hao Qiang's performance.

When Silva sent a through ball and Navas made a pass from the wing, Hao Qiang's performance in grabbing points in the penalty area was somewhat unsatisfactory.

Tacit understanding is the obvious problem.

Hao Qiang played his first game with these new teammates. In the fierce and fast pace, the lack of tacit understanding was even more exposed.

When he was able to predict his teammates' next move in Naples just by looking at their ball-handling performance, he would naturally take corresponding positive actions.

At the same time, the same goes for teammates, running in both directions.

The tacit understanding can be called a tacit understanding.

But now in Manchester City, both consciousness and action are a bit slower.

Basically, you have to determine the result of your teammates handling the ball before taking action.

This situation can only be improved through extensive training and actual combat.

It is impossible to change with just a few words.

Although Aguero plays as a winger, when he cuts in, he cooperates with midfielder Silva or Yaya Toure, or Clichy who assists from the wing, and his efficiency is obviously higher.

Pellegrini saw the problem.

But you won’t just focus on the shortcomings.

Hao Qiang's fulcrum role is fully displayed.

It allows Manchester City to form coordination in the middle of the frontcourt attack.

At least Hao Qiang's pass back to Silva or his pass to Yaya Toure are impeccable.

This allows Manchester City's offense to achieve continuity.

Don’t get bogged down and have low success.

In the 26th minute of the game, Navas made a pass from the right, and Hao Qiang entered the penalty area to fight for a header, but Coloccini blocked the angle of attack.

So he headed the ball back.

Silva stepped into the penalty area, stopped the ball with his chest and then shot.

The football flew straight to the far corner of the goal!

Krul was helpless.

Hao Qiang completed an assist and Silva scored.

The cheers at the Etihad Stadium were deafening.

Hao Qiang went to congratulate Silva on his goal with a smile.

Silva returned the smile.

Pellegrini applauded and nodded.

The lack of tacit understanding can be gradually improved, but Hao Qiang's personal ability cannot be ignored on the court.

In the Manchester City game, the first goal is definitely the most difficult to score.

When they broke the deadlock on the field, Newcastle United coach Alan Pardew immediately signaled for the team to strengthen their attack.

The scene became more and more unrestrained.

Hao Qiang had room to break through. During the fast break, he dribbled forward and encountered fierce tackles from his opponent one after another.

Steve Taylor quickly received a yellow card.

Newcastle United's three defensive midfielders were not idle either, and they made many fighting moves.

Navas's style is relatively simple, which leads to the fact that only Aguero and Hao Qiang are at the forefront of Manchester City's offense.

Aguero cuts inside, obviously hoping that Hao Qiang can continue to play the fulcrum role.

What Hao Qiang didn't expect was that Yaya Toure's breakthrough in the middle was more active than David Silva.

This will inevitably bring certain hidden dangers.

However, Newcastle United did not take advantage of it and still focused on the wing. Only Ben Arfa broke through in the middle.

Before the end of the half, Hao Qiang received Aguero's pass in the middle of the frontcourt, and then he dribbled forward, attracting Newcastle United's defense to tighten in the middle.

Aguero made a move and cut in, and Hao Qiang decisively sent a diagonal ball to the ground.

Aguero succeeded in countering offside, adjusted in the left rib area of ​​the penalty area and shot the ball into the far corner of the goal.

Manchester City 2:0 Newcastle United.

Hao Qiang hasn't scored yet, but has already scored twice with assists.

After celebrating, Aguero took the initiative to clap hands with Hao Qiang. When he looked at Hao Qiang, his eyes became much softer and a smile appeared on his face.

At the end of the half, the two teams returned to the locker rooms to rest.

Manchester City fans were relaxed and didn't think much about it.

At least winning this game should be a sure win.

Pellegrini did not make any general direction adjustments during the halftime break.

In the second half, the two sides returned to the court and changed sides to fight again.

Newcastle United fans are in a depressed mood, and there is still a huge disparity in strength.

When Newcastle United tried to score a goal to narrow the score gap, Manchester City resisted their attack and then counterattacked with a fast break, posing a huge threat.

In the 53rd minute of the game, Hao Qiang received Silva's pass in the frontcourt, pulled the ball, turned and spiked the ball to get rid of Tiote, and continued to speed up the ball forward.

Coloccini was retreating, but Stephen Taylor suddenly made a move as he retreated to the penalty area.

Trying to catch Hao Qiang off guard.

But how can Hao Qiang, who has experienced strong winds and waves, be so easily intercepted by his opponent?

The moment the opponent stepped forward, Hao Qiang also spiked the ball and changed its direction!

Stephen Taylor found that he had missed the ball and quickly pulled Hao Qiang so that he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Stephen Taylor pulled and loosened, and when he heard the referee's whistle, he started to bend down and talk trash to Hao Qiang.

Hao Qiang was not surprised by this.

I've seen too many monsters and monsters.

The mood is calm and calm.

The referee showed Taylor a second yellow card.

Then he was sent off with a red card!

Alan Pardew was furious.

This game is definitely over!

Yaya Toure took the direct free kick, and the heavy shot penetrated Krul's fingers.

Manchester City 3:0 Newcastle United!

Secure the victory!

Yaya Toure had a gloomy face when he went to celebrate, as if he had been angry since the beginning of today's game.

But no one knew what he was targeting.

Are you dissatisfied that Hao Qiang came to Manchester City and took away the attention of his leading brother?

Or is it because Hao Qiang's weekly salary of 600,000 pounds far exceeds his 220,000 pounds weekly salary?

No one knows.

He had a bad look on his face, and after Hao Qiang passed by, he just patted his arm lightly and turned away.

It's not against Yaya Toure. If any of his teammates were in this state, Hao Qiang wouldn't bother to pay attention.

He is neither anyone's nanny nor anyone's playmate, so why should he look at him with such a stinky face?

As for why he doesn't smile?

Hao Qiang would not think about this problem.

Pellegrini sighed softly.

He can understand Yaya Toure's mentality, but he doesn't agree with it!
