I don't just score goals

Premier League midweek kick-off.

Manchester City hosts Sunderland, the black cats at the bottom of the league.

Pellegrini gave Hao Qiang a rest.

If it weren't for the upcoming World Cup in the summer, Hao Qiang would probably have talked to him.

It happened that Liu Yuxi came to Manchester with her children accompanied by her parents, hoping to witness Hao Qiang lifting the championship trophy with her children at the end of the season.

Hao Qiang stayed with his wife and children at home.

Etihad Stadium.

Pellegrini still looks confident and calm.

Manchester City got off to a smooth start.

Less than 3 minutes into the game, Fernandinho scored from a long shot.

Manchester City leads Sunderland 1:0.

Manchester City fans are happy.

But when I couldn't see Hao Qiang, I felt empty.

And the next game was constipated.

Manchester City failed to score a second goal after 70 minutes of furious attack.

Black Cat Sunderland launched a furious counterattack from the 75th minute.

In 10 minutes, they scored two consecutive victories to lead the score.

If not for Nasri's goal at the last moment to help Manchester City equalize the score.

I'm afraid they are going to overturn at home.

But they failed to win Sunderland at home in the end, which was definitely a big upset.

The leaders drew at home with the league's last place.

Pellegrini is so embarrassed!

Fleet Street laughed at him.

Without Hao Qiang, you are nothing!

Maybe even some Manchester City players have this view.

When Hao Qiang went to training the next day, he found that everyone's morale was a little low.

Aguero became a little taciturn.

He was a little puzzled.

So he grabbed Aguero and asked: "Did I miss something? Even if we didn't win Sunderland at home, we still seem to be top of the list, right?"

Aguero said with a look of displeasure: "We are indeed still at the top of the list, but when the team did not have you, we played in a mess, which was a blow to each of us."

Hao Qiang also felt unhappy.

"What's wrong? Isn't it normal? If you behave well with and without me, haven't you considered my feelings?"

Aguero was stunned, thought for a moment and then nodded: "That seems to be the truth, but many of us don't want to be dependent on you. We ourselves are also valuable!"

Hao Qiang curled his lips and asked: "Without me, can you win the Premier League?"

Aguero rolled his eyes and said, "Okay... I've taken it before!"

Hao Qiang blinked.

This argument seems to hold water.

"Then if it wasn't for me, would you have won the Champions League?"

Aguero did not hesitate and shook his head directly.

Hao Qiang shrugged.

Aguero asked instead: "If we add you, can we win the Champions League?"

Hao Qiang raised his eyebrows and said: "Then you have to ask yourselves, who do you think is better between you and Naples?"

Aguero replied decisively: "If Naples didn't have you, then we would definitely be better!"

Hao Qiang sighed softly, then turned back and continued training.

Aguero looked at his back and suddenly realized.

Hao Qiang has won two Champions Leagues in Naples.

So logically speaking, Manchester City should have a better chance of reaching the top of Europe than Naples.

So Aguero looked at Pellegrini, who often frowned when presiding over training.

Many players are not convinced by Pellegrini, and the reason is simple: Pellegrini has not won a significant championship.

European top league champions?

No.

European champion?

No.

How can a coach without a championship convince a group of players who have won championships?

The embarrassing part is that even if Pellegrini leads Manchester City to win the championship.

How much credit will the locker room give him?

So now the players trust Hao Qiang more, and they just treat Pellegrini in peace and maintain a good superior-subordinate relationship between the coach and the players.

In the 34th round of the Premier League this weekend, Manchester City faced West Brom at home.

Hao Qiang's return to the starting lineup was greeted with enthusiastic cheers from the fans.

West Brom are similar to Sunderland in that they both have relegation pressure. In comparison, West Brom is ranked 16th in the league and cannot be said to be safe, but the pressure is definitely not that great.

Therefore, West Brom has the desire and pursuit to score points, but they will still defend first and wait for opportunities.

Manchester City started the game steadily, but the draw in the previous game put pressure on the team, mainly because they were dismissed as useless by the media, which was really heartbreaking.

West Brom's dense defense beckons Manchester City.

Hao Qiang was absent in Manchester City's last game, and most of the time the offense was like a headless fly.

A hammer in the east and a stick in the west, wherever they hit, that's where they hit.

If the overall strength of the players was not superior, I am afraid that even the draw might not have been guaranteed.

David Silva organized the attack, with Garcia and Fernandinho supporting him behind him.

Hao Qiang also actively plays the fulcrum role in the front line.

The attack in the middle was smooth, but there was no hard attack, which restricted West Brom's defense to shrink to the middle.

Manchester City's offensive players in other areas have better room to perform.

Aguero frequently cut inside to create threats, but his shots were a little too hasty.

In the 13th minute of the game, Manchester City took a corner kick.

Hao Qiang ran forward in the middle of the goal and took away a bunch of defensive players.

There is an obvious gap in the front, middle and back areas of the goal.

Unexpectedly, Zabaleta seized the opportunity and scored with a header.

Iron tree blooms!

Manchester City 1:0 West Brom.

Manchester City fans applauded and cheered with emotion.

"Now if Hao Huang is not on the court, no matter who I beat, I will feel panicked!"

"Who says otherwise? When Hao Huang is on the court, as long as the team doesn't play with fire and plays seriously, the frontcourt offense will always be overwhelming!"

"I heard other fans always say how powerful Hao Huang is at scoring goals and how efficient he is. Haha, it's so superficial. Hao Huang's importance to a team is simply the soul!"

Manchester City leads the score, but is still on the offensive.

In the 20th minute of the game, Hao Qiang controlled the ball in the middle of the penalty area and retreated to dodge the defense. Then he changed the direction of the ball and half-turned to send a through ball.

The ball rolled through the gap and behind the West Brom defense.

Navas rushed into the penalty area with lightning speed, touched the ball on the right flank and sent a cross.

Aguero cut in and outflanked the points in front and behind the goal, and then fired the ball easily into the goal!

Aguero ran to celebrate, then took the initiative to hug Hao Qiang, smiled at him and said: "When you are on the court, we really make it easy to score goals."

Hao Qiang rubbed his head and said casually: "Don't think about it when nothing happens. We are a team."

Aguero nodded solemnly.

Most of the other teammates have also let go.

Hao Qiang has the highest net worth, highest salary, and greatest contribution. He certainly affects Manchester City's team strength.

Whether he is there or not, Manchester City's combat power fluctuates greatly!

West Brom saw that the situation was not good, and suddenly fell behind by two goals. If they waited any longer, they might have to leave the Etihad Stadium on their knees.

When West Brom stepped up their offense and became tougher in defense, Manchester City's defense exploded again!

Demichelis failed to guard against the opponent's penetrating ball, turned around and chased for 20 yards before watching the opponent's forward score a semi-lone goal.

Kompany was just one step away from making up his position and returning to defense. Unfortunately, he could only watch the ball and sigh.

Manchester City 2:1 West Brom.

Manchester City fans looked up and were speechless.

Summer is coming soon, it’s a good season to buy a guard!
