"Apart from this damn weather, don't you have any other feelings?" Mark Hughes shrugged slightly, and then reminded, "For example, the Premier League...such as the third version of the British girls...fat hips and big boobs..."
"Damn, what kind of person is this old man?" Xu Zhou thought to himself, but he quickly replied: "Judging from today's training, the Premier League has faster speed, stronger impact, and stronger physical confrontation!"
"Well, it's in place, so are you ready to play the game? I'm talking about your physical and mental preparation!" Mark Hughes said suddenly and very seriously.
Hearing the old man's words now, Xu Zhou finally understood why the old man came looking for him today. It turned out that he was planning to send me to play in the weekend game! "I'm ready. Since the transfer, I've always been ready to fight for the team. Thank you for the trust of the team and the trust of the head coach! The team needs me, and I will stand up for the first time, go all out for the team, treat death as home, and do my best!" Xu Zhou said very seriously.
"My God, you shouldn't appear in the football circle. It's too embarrassing for you. You should go to Hollywood. That's your stage. Really, you have to trust the old man's eyes!" Hearing Xu Zhou's long speech, Mark Hughes' head was so big that it swelled up. The kid in front of him is so thick-skinned, it's simply earth-shattering!
"Well, actually, I've thought so for a long time. It's just that I've already signed with Manchester City, and I don't have that much money to pay the liquidated damages. Hey... What a mistake! " Xu Zhouzhou said with great regret.
"Cough cough cough..." Hearing Xu Zhou's words, Mark Hughes choked on his own saliva and coughed continuously, "My God, I never thought you would be so shameless, very good, very powerful...Okay, go back and get ready, you will start this weekend!"
"Starting?" Hearing this, Xu Zhou was obviously taken aback.Although he expected that he would play, he didn't expect that he would be the starter in this game!
"What? You can't do it by yourself? Well, your qualification is downgraded from the starter to the substitute!" Mark Hughes quickly changed his words when he heard Xu Zhou's question.
"Ah... no, no! Starter, you said it yourself! I don't care! I didn't hear it!" After saying this, Xu Zhou quickly stepped back and rushed out of the coach's office.Be darling, this old man is too unreasonable, he dared to disqualify himself as the starter, he simply didn't want to live.Exit the office, Xu Zhou thought so.
After leaving the head coach's office, Xu Zhou left the training directly and returned to his rented room.The next day, Xu Zhou rushed to Sunderland with the team, because today's game will be an away game.In the first two rounds, Sunderland had one win and one loss, and their results were not bad. After all, their opponents were Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur. It is already very good to be able to get a three-pointer in these two games.
And in the first two rounds of the game, there was one win and one loss, but their opponents were not as strong as Sunderland's opponents.Therefore, this game is not very easy to play, and it is not as simple as it appears on the surface.This game is still an away game. It is still very difficult for Manchester City to win the opponent without bloodshed. Therefore, Mark Hughes attaches great importance to this game.
On August 2008, 8, Manchester City will challenge Sunderland in an away game. This game did not attract much attention, but before the game, those media reporters heard that Xu Zhou would start in this game. Therefore, the attention of this game has indeed increased a lot. Because of Xu Zhou’s monster performance in the BJ Olympics, everyone pays little attention to Xu Zhou’s performance now, to see if he can adapt to the Premier League.

"Flute..." A whistle sounded, and the game officially started. The first kick-off was the Manchester City team from afar.Today's game is Xu Zhou's Premier League debut, so there are still a lot of fans who follow him.Before the game started, the Manchester City fans at the scene were looking forward to the Italian Chinese who only transferred this summer, and they all called this BJ the most eye-catching player in the Olympic Games.Although many of them still have doubts about him, they are still looking forward to this kid's first battle, and they all want to see this kid's performance with their own eyes.
Before the game, many media made predictions about Xu Zhou's debut in the Premier League. Many people believed that Xu Zhou would never adapt to the Premier League.They also used a lot of facts to prove one thing. They claimed that although Xu Zhou is an Italian nationality, he is an out-and-out Chinese. In the Premier League, except for Sun Jihai who left this season, the Chinese are all fucking parallel imports, so many people are not optimistic about Xu Zhou.
However, Manchester City fans are very optimistic about Xu Zhou. Perhaps it is Sun Jihai who left a very good influence in their hearts, or maybe it is Xu Zhou's performance in the Olympic Games. Anyway, most of their teams are full of confidence in the player who has just joined. They think Xu Zhou is suitable for the Premier League.Moreover, his adaptability is very fast, so most of the Manchester City fans are still on Xu Zhou's side.
Before the game started, some bookmakers in Europe even offered odds for this matter. They turned Xu Zhou's ability to adapt to the Premier League into a lottery.Therefore, for a while, Xu Zhou was very famous in England and even in Europe.But at this time Xu Zhou didn't have so much thought to think about these things, and now he has to face his Premier League debut!
The game officially started, the ball quickly rolled to the feet of midfielder Harman.The game had just started, and Manchester City was about to launch their first attack. The ball quickly rolled out from Haman's feet and flew to the left.The fans were still looking forward to it, hoping that Harman could pass the ball to Xu Zhou's feet, let him take the ball for the first time, and let the fans see Xu Zhou's strength.However, the ball rolled to M-Johnson's feet.
After catching the ball, M-Johnson frantically dribbled the ball towards Sunderland's half. Sunderland's winger Richardson rushed up quickly and slammed Johnson hard with his body.Fortunately, Johnson's body is not weak, so he stabilized his body and pushed the ball to Ireland in the middle. Ireland caught the ball and made a direct pass. The ball passed through Sunderland's defense quickly.
The match had just started, and Manchester City had a chance to break the deadlock. The Manchester City fans at the scene were all shouting wildly. The enthusiasm was enough to melt any iron.The atmosphere at the scene made Xu Zhou feel refreshed. The fans' stands of the Premier League were very close to the stadium, and the shouts of those fans seemed to be right next to their ears, shaking the players' hearts.
Sunderland's goalkeeper Gordon ran out quickly and rushed towards the ball that rolled in.Ruo saw Sunderland's goalkeeper crazily pounced, so he accelerated up. Ruo's speed is relatively fast and his body is flexible, which gives him a great advantage.However, the ball was too big for Ireland, and the ball flew into Gordon's arms, and Manchester City's best chance since the opening game was gone!
The Manchester City fans at the scene sighed, and the ball quickly flew out from Gordon's feet. The ball flew straight across the half-court and rushed towards Sunderland's striker Diouf.Diouf leaned on the bamboo with his body tightly and put the ball to Cisse on the side. The Frenchman easily caught the ball and rushed towards Manchester City's penalty area quickly.
Kompany rushed forward immediately, but Cisse lightly buckled his feet and swiped past Kompany very lightly, breaking through Kompany, and Cisse quickly rushed to the penalty area of Manchester City.At this time, Manchester City's central defender Michael Richards rushed out immediately and rushed to the ball at Cisse's feet.
Seeing Michael Richards rushing out, Cisse quickly dunked the ball and changed direction.Changing direction and throwing off a gap, Cisse immediately volleyed from the front of the penalty area. The ball shot out from Cisse's feet as quickly as a sharp arrow, and flew straight to the upper left corner of Manchester City's goal!
The fans of the Manchester City team became nervous. Joe Hart in front of the goal immediately jumped up and threw himself at the ball sideways.He only felt a gust of wind quickly pass by his fingertips, and then his body hit the grass hard.Joe Hart panicked, but at this moment, the cheers of the Sunderland fans were not remembered in the stadium, but a sigh. He knew that his goal was not lost.
