I don't just score goals

The four rounds of the Champions League group stage are over.

Manchester City and Bayern Munich both have 10 points with 3 wins and 1 draw.

CSKA Moscow has 3 points.

Plzen is at the bottom with 0 points.

Therefore, Manchester City and Bayern Munich have joined hands to advance to the top 16 of the Champions League two rounds in advance.

The only suspense is which group comes first and which group comes second.

Thanks to Manchester City's big win.

The media doesn't pay much attention to them.

It's not like Manchester City is the only one playing in the Champions League.

The Champions League performances of other Premier League teams receive more attention.

Fleet Street is watching to see if Manchester United will also fail in the Champions League.

Chelsea's promotion situation is relatively stalemate.

Arsenal played a fierce group of death with Dortmund and Napoli.

Returning to the league at the weekend, the 11th round of the Premier League.

Manchester City visits the Stadium of Light to challenge Sunderland, who are second from bottom in the league.

There is a huge gap in overall strength.

Pellegrini continued to use the starting lineup from midweek.

He hopes Yaya Toure can learn from his performance in midweek.

But he was wrong.

Yaya Toure's performance at the Stadium of Light has gone from strength to strength!

The striker was very uncomfortable from the start.

He doesn't pass the ball when he should, and he doesn't see anyone when he should defend.

In the 20th minute of the game, Sunderland's extreme counterattack seized the opportunity and scored to lead Manchester City 1:0 at home.

Manchester City fans are in a depressed mood.

They scored 14 goals in the past two games.

But let alone scoring goals at the Stadium of Light, the forwards can't even see the shot.

Only Yaya Toure is shooting wildly from long range.

Even if the Manchester City midfielders want to bypass the center and go directly to the wing to deliver cannonballs.

But Sunderland's ultimate anti-counterattack was very good on the defensive end.

Without the connection in the middle, Manchester City's offense would not be able to change at all.

At the end of half-time, most of the Manchester City players walked into the locker room feeling suppressed and aggrieved.

Pellegrini's midfield speech insinuated Yaya Toure into changing his mind and serving the team better.

But it seems to be of no use.

Yaya Toure instead passed the blame to the striker.

"The forwards are not active in supporting and running, what can the midfielder do?"

As soon as Yaya Toure said this, Aguero stopped talking.

Hao Qiang scolded him directly.

"Can you speak human language while riding a horse? If you can't speak, get out!"

Yaya Toure stood up straight away, and Hao Qiang also stood up, as if they were about to start a fight.

Yaya Toure asked him back: "What? You can't do it today, are you going to shirk your responsibility to me?"

Hao Qiang said bluntly: "Everyone knows it's you who can't do it, so don't mess around!"

Yaya Toure smiled contemptuously.

"Nonsense."

Hao Qiang looked at him forcefully and said, "Am I talking nonsense? So, can you get off the field now and sit on the bench and watch how we come back?"

Yaya Toure's heart skipped a beat.

Got generalized!

End?

If he really goes off and Manchester City stage a comeback in the second half, then what dignity will he have in the locker room?

He said coldly: "I won't tangle with you, you are simply unreasonable."

Hao Qiang smiled silently and was too lazy to confront him tit for tat.

Pellegrini started to give everyone chicken soup again and gave lectures on team spirit as a topic.

No one listens anyway.

This is the current situation in the Manchester City dressing room.

When the core dispute between Hao Qiang and Yaya Toure does not come to an end, people will naturally be restless.

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

Sunderland defended with determination. The strong confrontation of the Premier League team and the ability to continuously run at a fast pace meant that the side that wanted to take advantage would either be absolutely technically and tactically strong, or be able to overwhelm the opponent in terms of pace.

Manchester City did neither today.

In the 60th minute of the game, Pellegrini replaced Xavi Garcia with Dzeko.

A discerning person would know at a glance that he did not dare to use the knife on Yaya Toure and could only control Xavi Garcia.

After Dzeko came on the scene, the team's style of play was very simple.

Yaya Toure showed off his own, sighing all the time.

It seems like today's scene is so difficult.

The player on the wing did not reach the right position but directly hoisted the ball into the penalty area.

Count on Hao Qiang, Dzeko and Aguero to grab points.

Not only do they treat Sunderland like a child, but they also take their playing style backwards by 20 years.

Manchester City fans were dumbfounded.

"Dream back to 20 years ago during the First World War?"

"This is the way a relegation team plays!"

"Pellegrini, get out of here, Chilean engineer? Why are you playing Renaissance here?"

At 70 minutes, Hao Qiang couldn't bear it anymore.

He took the initiative to retreat!

He is responsible for the organization of the midfield and competes with Yaya Toure for the ball.

Instead, his teammates were willing to pass the ball to him.

David Silva did not dare to return to the center to compete with Yaya Toure for the ball, but after Hao Qiang retreated, he also retreated on the wing.

Hao Qiang directly ignored Yaya Toure when controlling the ball in the midfield, and the opponent did not move anyway.

Hao Qiang dribbled forward to contain the opponent's defense in the middle and then distributed the ball to the wings.

A very common organizational idea, Aguero also retreated from the wing.

Coupled with the full-back and Hao Qiang who ran to respond, no matter where Hao Qiang went to the left or right wing, he could always form a simple triangle passing cooperation with his teammates.

Manchester City's simple and crude offense decreased, but they began to organize crosses from deep areas on the wing.

Dzeko and Aguero grab points.

Although it never broke through.

But the scene is much better.

Yaya Toure was very disdainful of this.

After working for a long time, I didn't see any goals.

Hao Qiang always remained focused.

He never entered the restricted area again.

In the process of repeatedly mobilizing Manchester City's two-wing attack, Manchester City's offensive rhythm is getting faster and faster, and the pressure on Sunderland is also increasing.

As the game approached the 90th minute, Hao Qiang received a short pass from David Silva on the right side of the frontcourt and then sent a diagonal pass to the ground.

Zabaleta went down and passed the ball.

Dzeko failed to fight for the first point, but the ball that was cleared was controlled by Hao Qiang just in front of the penalty area.

Hao Qiang stepped back to pull the ball, changed his foot, changed the direction of the ball to dodge the opponent's press, and then sent a through ball.

Aguero reached the penalty spot in the penalty area without stopping and shot the ball directly into the upper right corner of the goal!

Dzeko rushed into the goal, picked up the ball and held it in his arms.

Aguero turned around and rushed directly towards Hao Qiang. The two high-fived and retreated together.

Manchester City equalizes the score!

Sunderland fans looked depressed.

Manchester City fans were overjoyed.

Then I felt unhappy again.

"Why did Emperor Hao go back to organize an attack? Everyone can see it, right?"

"Whether he is angry or has a conflict with Yaya Toure, at least he is really trying his best to help the team win, and he is doing everything he can. Where is Yaya Toure?"

"Besides being unhappy to see him, it's just that he's starting to mess up!"

"If he wants to prove that Manchester City can't do without him, congratulations to him. He has at least proved that he is superfluous in Manchester City now."

"Not only is he superfluous, he is like a rat droppings that ruins the whole pot of porridge!"

Yaya Toure was indeed a little embarrassed at this moment.

Hao Qiang's retreat to organize the attack was also a mental shock to him!

Sunderland tried every means to delay time and finally succeeded in maintaining a 1:1 draw at home.

After the game, Hao Qiang took off his jersey and left the field angrily.

Other Manchester City players also felt humiliated.

It's not that they can't beat the relegation team Sunderland.

It's that they didn't show their strength at all.

How can they be reconciled to this?
