Eight Hundred and Ninety-Six 5 Consecutive Victories

Jerome Boateng eventually moved to Bayern Munich for a transfer fee of 15 million euros.

The Bundesliga giant was finally forced to agree to Manchester City’s request and took out the transfer fee, but after turning around, Bayern chairman Rummenigge, who is also the chairman of the UEFA Club Association, said in an interview that he questioned Manchester City’s sponsors .

It is mainly the sponsorship of several companies, including Etihad Airways, to Manchester City, which is the source of funds for Manchester City's aggressive signings.

Rummenigge believes that Manchester City's sponsorship is to circumvent UEFA's Financial Fair Play policy, and he even said, "Manchester City should know that if they want to play tricks, we will not allow them to participate in the Champions League."

This is not only because of the transfer of Jerome Boateng, Manchester City is unwilling to make concessions on the transfer fee, but more importantly, because of the introduction of stars, the traditional giants have already felt the threat of Manchester City.

For example, the transfer of Hazard this time, which is the baby bump that all the giants in Europe coveted, ended up going to Manchester City.

Don't talk about Bayern, just talk about the other giants, who can stand it?

Soriano, the general manager of Manchester City, came forward to clarify, saying that there is no problem with Manchester City's sponsors and that UEFA's investigation is welcome at any time. Competitive team, "Our goal is to make Manchester City a top giant."

Jerome Boateng did not come to the United States with the team, so his transfer in Europe, as well as the controversy between Rummenigge and Soriano, did not affect Manchester City players training in the United States.

All the players have lived an unpretentious and boring life in training camps. In addition to eating, drinking, sleeping, and training every day.

Su Dong still takes a little time every day to accompany Courtois to practice.

At first, the players of Manchester City were a little surprised, and gradually they got used to it.

Wen Suai and Su Dong's additional training did not exclude others. If Joe Hart and Shay wanted to participate, they could participate at any time, so everyone didn't say much, and they didn't think they were giving Courtois a small stove. What will be the problem.

A week after the team arrived in the United States, at the at&t stadium in San Francisco, Manchester City ushered in the first warm-up game.

The opponent is the Mexican American team.

In this game, Manchester City was still the bench lineup last season, and several new aids were the mainstay, but the team still adopted the four-three-three tactics.

Goalkeeper Joe Hart, Leighton Baines, Harvey Martinez, David Luiz and Trippier in defence, Thiago in midfield, Milner and Gareth Barry Previously, the tridents were Hazard, Dzeko and Douglas Costa.

Although the lineup has changed, it is mainly based on the team's passing and control tactics.

The players also performed very hard, after all, they could see that this game was a test for them.

City had the situation under control from the start, and Dzeko came close to scoring twice in the sixth and twelfth minutes.

In the 16th minute, Douglas Costa's breakthrough on the right side gave Dzeko a kick in the penalty area. After being saved by the goalkeeper, Gareth Barry hit a make-up shot, making it 1-0 .

Then in the 27th minute, another pass from Dzeko gave Douglas Costa another victory for Manchester City.

After changing sides in the second half, Manchester City changed a lot of players, but in the 72nd minute, Adam Johnson and Tony Kroos had a cooperation, broke into the penalty area and scored, extending the score for Manchester City, 3-0 !

In the end, with goals from Gareth Barry, Douglas Costa and Adam Johnson, Manchester City defeated the Mexican American team 3-0 and won the first victory of the warm-up match.

Three days later, Manchester City left the training camp in Los Angeles and headed north to Vancouver, Canada for the second warm-up match.

The opponent this time is the Vancouver Whitecaps.

Due to the team's pre-season physical reserve training, every player was in a low state. In addition to the days of battles and long journeys to the north, more importantly, the weather in Vancouver has been heavy rainstorms for the past few days, causing the venue It was so muddy that even the race was almost cancelled.

So in the game, although Manchester City had the advantage, they conceded the ball first.

But in the 39th minute, Aguero used a single-handed shot from the outside of the small penalty area to equalize the score for Manchester City.

After changing sides in the second half, Sanchez reversed the opponent for Manchester City in the 68th minute.

In the 84th minute, Di Maria shot through the opponent's goal with a long shot.

In addition, in stoppage time, Di Maria scored another victory and finally locked the score at four to one.

Manchester City successfully reversed the Vancouver Whitecaps on the road and won two consecutive warm-up games.

However, for the process of the game, neither the coach nor the players are basically satisfied.

After returning to Los Angeles from Vancouver, Manchester City continued to start training.

This period of time is mainly based on recovery and adjustment, as well as the team's technical and tactical drills.

But what is interesting is that in the closed training on weekdays, Guardiola will practice the three-four-three tactics, but in external games, he basically does not use it. Small controversy, but basically all four-back tactics.

This is also a way for Guardiola to deal with the outside world. He wants to save the three, four and three for the last, and use it as a killer.

After another week of training in Los Angeles, Manchester City also ushered in the last warm-up game in North America.

LA Galaxy at Home Depot Center.

This is actually the most watched game in Manchester City's three North American warm-up games, because LA Galaxy owns Beckham, and Manchester City also promised to start Su Dong.

This is also Su Dong's first appearance in three challenge matches.

Only 20 minutes into the game, Su Dong duped the opponent's central defender in the penalty area and then scored, opening the scoring for Manchester City.

In the 29th minute, a through ball from David Silva, Su Dong later plugged in to get a single-handed opportunity at the penalty spot, and pushed again to score, 2-0.

At halftime, both Su Dong and Beckham were substituted.

Subsequently, the Los Angeles Galaxy pulled a goal back, and Juninho also showed his free kick skills, but hit the post.

And Manchester City also scored a goal in the second half by Dzeko.

In the end, Manchester City narrowly defeated the Los Angeles Galaxy three-to-one and won the three-game winning streak in the North American warm-up match.

...

Sudong spent a while with Beckham and Juninho Jr. after the game.

Both Beckham and Junior Juninho are free-kick masters, and Su Dong's free-kick accomplishments are also very high, but unfortunately, in the game, Su Dong and Beckham did not have the opportunity to show, and Little Juni. Neo's free kick hit the post.

The topic of the three is more off the field. For example, Beckham recently gave birth to a daughter, and he has been working hard to return to the Europa League. It can be seen that he still misses the days of playing in the Europa League.

The Major Leagues are indeed suitable for retirement, but Beckham is bent on returning to the mainstream European leagues.

Su Dong never dared to ask him if he would regret his decision to move to the United States after he left Real Madrid.

...

After Manchester City finished the World Football Challenge, several other teams also stopped.

Of the twelve teams participating in the ranking, only Manchester City, Real Madrid and Manchester United have won all three.

In the end, the three teams all had the same points, but Manchester City, with a record of ten goals and two goals, and eight goal difference, overwhelmed Real Madrid's seven and Manchester United's six, and won by a narrow advantage. Down the champion.

This is also a good start to the new season.

After playing the Los Angeles Galaxy, Manchester City left the training camp in Los Angeles, USA, and set off for Dublin, Ireland.

In Dublin, Manchester City immediately ushered in the Irish All-Star team after a slight adjustment.

This is the Irish Super Cup Invitational.

This team is composed of star players of the Irish League. The strength is actually very average, and the coordination is very unfamiliar. After all, many of them do not play in the same team.

Manchester City also did not do their best, and still put Su Dong on the bench and let other players play one after another.

In the end, with Gareth Barry's volley and Adam Johnson's brace, Manchester City defeated the Irish Stars 3-0 and won the four-game winning streak in the warm-up match.

...

Only a day later, Manchester City once again ushered in the second game of the second match day of the Irish Super Cup, the opponent is Inter Milan.

In this high-intensity game for two consecutive days, no one will do their best, and more will be based on rotation and inspection of players.

Compared with the previous day, Manchester City changed a full seven starters, and goalkeeper Courtois also started.

The only constant is that Su Dong still did not play, which disappointed all the Irish fans who came here.

After all, many people hope to see Su Dong's game up close at their doorstep.

In the end, with Aguero's goal in the first half and Dzeko's brace in the second half, Manchester City once again defeated Inter Milan 3-0.

Inter Milan are neither doing their best, nor are they in particularly good shape.

After the warm-up game in Dublin, the Manchester City team returned to Manchester.

The whole team began to prepare for the Community Shield against Manchester United, which is the outpost of the new season.

Manchester City have only won three Community Shields in their history, the most recent being three decades ago.

Su Dong, on the other hand, took a leave of absence from the coaching staff, took time to go to Amsterdam, and was invited to participate in Van der Sar's farewell match.

He was also accompanied by young Belgian goalkeeper Courtois, who Guardiola and Vinsuelet allowed exceptionally.

Courtois is also looking forward to this trip to Amsterdam.

Van der Sar is his idol, and being able to participate in his farewell activities has a special meaning for him.

Of course, he just followed Su Dong to participate, there is no way to really end the game, after all, he is not enough to participate in the world star team, and Van der Sar did not invite him.

Being able to be there this time is purely due to Su Dong's light.
