Football Legend No. 13

With Zheng Lin's departure, Manchester City's attack seemed to have suddenly lost its backbone, but fortunately captain Kompany stepped up.

Despite stabilizing the defense, he was still scored by Moussa.

The final result was 2-2, and the two sides shook hands and made peace.

When it was learned after the match that Zheng Lin's injury was not too serious and needed to rest for 3-4 weeks, Pellegrini was also relieved.

[After examination, the ligament is slightly strained, it is recommended to rest for 3-4 weeks, and it is expected to miss the next round of the Champions League group stage. This

means that the next few league games will need to be watched by Moussa Sissoko, but I don't know if they will be able to stand firm in the end!

The foothold here means that they can replace Zheng Lin's position after being injured.

For what comes next, Pellegrini has already made plans to play 4231, so that the defensive strength is sufficient.

As for the strikers, Dzeko and Aguero are selected, and the corresponding candidates are formulated according to the opponent's situation.

City did have problems in the subsequent league, lacking the man who delivered the fatal blow.

October 25.

West Ham won 3-2 at home to Manchester City.

In the 87th minute of the game, Manchester City had a chance to complete the match, but in the end, because Fernando's passing was slightly slower, Aguero was offside and missed this chance to kill!

I don't know if it was because of Zheng Lin's absence, the team has not yet adapted to the situation, and they lost to Newcastle United in the quarter-finals of the Premier League Cup on October 30.

November 2.

Manchester City derby, Manchester City home after a hard 88 minutes, Sergio Aguero received a key pass from David Silva to complete the crucial goal.

In the end, Manchester City won 1-0 at home to Manchester United.

Until the start of the eleventh round of the league.

Manchester City remain in second place, four points behind leaders Chelsea.

At this time, they also welcomed CSKA Moscow.

Countless fans thought it would be a battle of revenge, but the final result was beyond everyone's expectations.

CSKA Moscow who visited the Etihad Stadium, they changed to play the 4411 formation, and Manchester City, who still insisted on the 442 style of play at this time, received an unprecedented blow in this game!

Not only did he concede 3 goals in a row at home, but there were also 2 people sent off, which surprised countless people.

Although two goals were scored, the final result was unbearable.

Fernando and Zabaleta have successively received red cards in this game, which makes Manchester City, which already has one less man to fight, even worse.

After four rounds, Manchester City are at the bottom of the game with only three points, and the next requirement for them is to win consecutive strong rivals Bayern Munich and Roma to secure their place.

Approaching the biggest stretch was Manchester City's visit to Ruben Loftus Road against Queens Park Rangers at the end of the crane, who were actually equalised in the final minute.

As of the eleventh round of the Premier League, Manchester City are six points behind leaders Chelsea!

This is a point for them to win the title only if they make mistakes while hoping that Chelsea make mistakes, otherwise it is likely that Manchester City will bid farewell to this season's league title early.

......

And Zheng Lin, who was recuperating at home, still got up early step by step to do some strength training as much as he could.

At the same time, he will also communicate with his girlfriend Li Ruobai during the rest time and talk about interesting things in life.

For Zheng Lin's injury, for the first time, Li Ruobai wanted to fly to England to visit Zheng Lin, but under Zheng Lin's persuasion, she gave up this idea, but she was also a little helpless about the performance of Manchester City after the lack of Zheng Lin.

How can these 11 people change after missing a player?

Is this proof of how important Zheng Lin is to Manchester City?

If you want to prove such a result, you don't have to behave so badly!

Anyone can lose and everyone can draw!

This makes Li Ruobai a little unhappy, although she does not know much about the ball, but she will look at the score, this score is behind, the average score makes people really uncomfortable.

Especially when you see the difference in points from the top Chelsea, if you really have to calculate it, there are more than 2 games here!

In fact, the most relieved thing here is that there is a national team match day, otherwise, the few Manchester City fans are beginning to think that if such a situation occurs continuously, I am afraid it has fallen to the top four!

......

22 November Premier League round 12.

Zheng Lin is also officially back, and there is no big problem after inspection.

However, Pellegrini was more careful not to put him in the starting position this time.

After facing mid-table side Swansea, the two teams drew in the first half, although they attacked each other but still could not determine the advantage.

Until the second half, Zheng Lin came off the bench to replace Fernando.

At this time, the situation on the field made Manchester City fans let go of that hanging heart.

In the 86th minute of the game, Zheng Lin, who had adapted to the rhythm, received a pass from Aguero at the front of the box.

He leans his back against the goal and picks a pass.

The ball flew past defender Rangel and was shot from Aguero from a close corner, piercing goalkeeper Fabianski's small goal.

The goal also gave Sergio Aguero a long breath.

Before Zheng Lin played.

Fabianski showed a good goalkeeper and blocked City's attacks several times until the 86th minute.

Any previous shot was forfeited by him.

This also once made Manchester City fans think that it is very likely to reap another average.

Zheng Lin's pass made them see hope!

And this time the hope came true!

At the same time, Chelsea also showed a side that made Manchester City fans uncomfortable.

They took a 2-0 advantage at the same time.

At this point, they still held a six-point lead.

For Manchester City, it is still only a dozen rounds of the league, and if it is next spring, then this 6 point is likely to be the last straw that killed the camel!

But the most important thing right now is that Manchester City will host visiting Bayern Munich on 26 November.

At this point, they are the only teams in the group that have already locked in the qualifiers.

The remaining four points after the four rounds of group stage in Rome are 4 points, and CSKA Moscow is the same 4 points.

Only Manchester City are three points.

Manchester City's strength is still obvious to everyone at this point, so they have only one choice against Bayern, and that is to win.

If they don't, they will decide who will take the initiative from CSKA Moscow against Roma.

For Zheng Lin, he hates to choose too passively, and if he can, he naturally wants to hold the initiative firmly in his hands.

At the same time, this game will welcome Bayern, the strongest team.

Robery will play at the same time!

If nothing else, Bayern will field the following line-up

: [Forwards: Ribery, Lewandowski, Robben

midfielders: Hjbel, Xavi Alonso, Rhodes

defensive: Bernat, Jérôme Boateng, Benatia, Rafinha

goalkeeper: Neuer

also have Schweinstein, Thomas Müller, Shaqiri and their treble defender Dante on the bench.

Such a squad is a challenge for Manchester City.

But in order to appear, Manchester City will naturally not give up easily!
