Wang Ai has both nostalgia and determination to each farewell to the old club, just like an old thing. There is a bit of attachment because of the precipitation of the years, but it must be abandoned because of the years of tomorrow. If you add the calculations of football stars, you must consider how to get the best benefits.

In front of Wang Ai is this season's Champions League group stage Manchester City and Bayern are divided. The biggest change in this season's Bayern compared to last season is to take the first and second scorers. Among them, Wang Ai came to Manchester City and Gomez. went to Florence. However, Bayern's hard power is still there, Lewandowski can completely replace Gomez's role, Mandzukic is also a first-class shooter not much worse than Gomez, at least on the same level as Dzeko, as for the old goblin Pizarro is not sure when it will erupt once.

The Robery combination is still the best winger combination in the world, and Muller is still the best frontcourt free agent and frontcourt pick-up king. In contrast, the hard power of Manchester City players may not be much worse, but the spirit is far worse. Of course, Bayern also has two disadvantages. One is that Bayern lacks Wang Ai, an all-round attacking and extra-level striker who joined Manchester City, and the other is that the new coach Pep Guardiola is a very stubborn person. To rebuild the team, and the results will be inconsistent during this time. While Pellegrini is also a new coach, he is a man of softness in every way, able to instill a steady transition into the line-up and style of play that Mancini left behind.

In the half month that he came to Manchester to adjust and adapt, Wang Ai has already obtained all the matches of Manchester City this season, except for some low-level competitions that he will definitely not participate in, the main ones are the league, the UEFA Champions League, the League Cup, and the FA Cup. Four events, of which the Champions League is the first, followed by the league, which may be reversed if necessary. In short, these two events are the events that Wang Ai wants to work hard on, and of course they are also events that Manchester City has high hopes for him, especially It's the Champions League.

There are two games against Bayern in the group stage. Wang Ai has to take into account the feelings of the Manchester City fans who love him so much, and he can't ignore the obsession with him. He has even begun to propose a bronze statue for him at the entrance of the Allianz Stadium. . Although there is a high probability that it will not pass, or at least not now, this friendship still moved Wang Ai and made his team dare not look down on it.

In the end, a hastily discussed solution: Etihad Stadium, Wang Ai wants to participate in the game to show his loyalty to the new owner; Allianz Stadium, Wang Ai will not go to the Allianz Stadium to show his nostalgia to the old team.

This is different from when Wang Ai played against his old club Chelsea in the Champions League final in the past 1112 seasons. At that time, he had been gone for many years. Even if Chelsea fans would not forget him, the relationship has gradually faded, and when he left Chelsea, it was not a big deal. Happily, it's completely different from what we've had with Bayern right now.

At present, Wang Ai has not told the club about this idea. Anyway, there are two out of four in the Champions League group. In addition to Bayern, there are also Russia's CSKA Moscow and Czech Pilsen. Although they are also a country's giants, they are fish belly in this group. Even if Manchester City is unstable now and may be in danger of falling, Wang Ai is confident that as long as it is not a big crash, he is there.

If you miss one game and Manchester City can't get out of the group, then you will play all of them, and Manchester City won't go far.

On the second day, the main players arrived at the club for training in the afternoon. Three days later, they will meet Bayern, the Champions League champion last season. This is a very good opportunity for an ambitious team like Manchester City to prove themselves. Wang Ai He also came to the training ground and was invited to the coach's office after the training.

"I don't know what Guardiola will plan, but I know exactly what Heynckes is thinking." Wang Ai said with a smile after sitting down.

Pellegrini stunned and shook his head with a smile: "Guardiola, I may be more familiar with it, um, never beat him."

Wang Ai was a little shocked by the frankness of the coach, and coughed helplessly.

"How, would you like to meet your old friend?" Pellegrini said gently: "I heard that you have a good relationship with them, would you?"

Seeing Wang Ai pondering, Pellegrini said again: "If you don't want to, you can. I don't want to force my players."

Coleus

Wang Ai exhaled: "Would you rather continue the embarrassing record?"

Pellegrini laughed: "It won't necessarily lose, Manchester City is very strong."

Wang Ai looked at the coach and said succinctly, "This is our home court."

Pellegrini nodded again and again with clear taste: "Although you performed well as a substitute in the first two games, considering that you have been running in with the main lineup soon, continue to arrange for you to be a substitute."

To such an informed coach, Wang Ai said sincerely, "Thank you."

Pellegrini smiled and nodded: "Can you tell me about the characteristics of their main players?"

Wang Ai was stunned, and then smiled: "Of course, I think Guardiola has also obtained my information."

Wang Ai came out of the coach in a happy mood, but at the same time he also kept in mind the women's reminder that the more gentle person who thinks about you, the more you should pay attention to the scale of your interactions with him, and you can win more by always maintaining respect.

After returning home, Wang Ai just talked to his family hastily about the result of his discussions with the coach and left the Bayern affairs behind. One is too familiar, the other is too uncomfortable.

Three days later, the Etihad Stadium at 8:00 p.m. was full of noise. The sky blue and red and black in the stands were intertwined. The sky blue accounted for 80%, but Wang Ai, who came out to warm up, often couldn't help but watch the red and black. , to see former teammates warming up on the other half of the court.

Wang Ai left this summer without saying goodbye, but sent text messages to many people after the three parties formally signed the agreement, including Muller, who played well with him, and Robben, who had been his teammate twice. There are upright Ribery, steady Ram, stubborn little pig...

Wang Ai couldn't help but feel a little down. As soon as the warm-up was over, he hurried back to the locker room. Maybe the more decisive the parting, the heavier the regret in his heart. It would have been dull in a few years, but there was nothing I could do with everything in front of my eyes.

At 8:45, the game officially started. Wang Ai watched it for 5 minutes and sighed in his heart: I must play today.

Bayern, the veteran giants and the previous champions, is full of confidence and is not affected by the away game at all. On the contrary, Manchester City, a grassroots veteran who has never been involved in the Champions League or even won the Cup Winners' Cup once, is timid and timid. As soon as the opponent is a little tough, they start to worry about whether they will lose and whether there will be any conspiracy.

Observed with the idea of ​​system confrontation, Manchester City gave up dominance at the beginning.
