The two clubs had a fight last season.

This led to a mutual flame war between the two sides' fans in online communities.

The three phrases, "patrol car," "initiate team fight city," and "Aguero," dominated the comments section.

Why would Aguero be the male lead?

Because the conflicts in 2013 and 2016 were all provoked by this guy.

Elbowing David Luiz.

Cleats-up flying tackle on David Luiz.

Wiping snot on Chelsea players.

Malicious stomping.

As the two sides' fans argued, they dug up all of Aguero's past misdeeds.

'Threatening Atletico Madrid with strike and trouble-making.'

'He's Maradona's son-in-law, but he cuckolded Maradona.'

How should I put it?

The two clubs actually have a pretty good relationship.

August 20th.

Li Kang and his teammates arrived at the Etihad Stadium, which has a unique dome and streamlined appearance.

The story of this stadium could fill a book, and so could the story of Maine Road, the stadium Manchester City used to use.

The coaching staff and players got off the blue bus one after another.

"Will Guardiola do something fancy today?"

"Definitely."

"I feel like Tuchel is also doing something fancy."

"Shhh, you kid should cherish your chance to start."

Pedro looked at Li Kang, Fabregas, and Tuchel, and then thought of Guardiola.

Isn't this just an internal war full of Cthulhu elements?

Pre-match press conference.

Guardiola and Tuchel shook hands and hugged each other warmly. They were almost kissing.

When they were young, they were both believers in the Cthulhu school.

During their time in the Bundesliga, they could use wine glasses as magnetic flags in Munich bars, and talk about tactics all night long.

Without much small talk, the two coaches took their seats.

Reporters eagerly asked questions.

"Jesus transformed into a false nine? This isn't a new invention. This tactic was born in European football in the 1930s!"

"The false nine is about to withdraw from the stage of history, but it can still be used now."

"Fernandinho is not an organizer. It's 2017 now, and the 'comb' role behind has disappeared in the mainstream leagues. The most typical example, Pirlo, also completed his transformation in 2011. You can see many such players in the World Cup next year."

"The centers on both sides? Still, that sentence, it's 2017 now, or even ten years ago, the mainstream leagues don't need... Okay, you can enjoy the performance of the Russian forward, Dzyuba, in the World Cup next year."

"About Messi... he will reach a new level under Valverde. He is now further and further away from the goal, maximizing his commander potential."

"Messi, he..."

Guardiola didn't seem to care about winning or losing this game.

He didn't even mention the players on either side, but instead tried to instill the tactical changes of the new era into the media reporters.

In contrast, Tuchel's answer was very short.

"We will win the game."

The player tunnel at the Etihad Stadium is very spacious, and a white awning is set up at the exit.

Li Kang touched David Silva's shiny bald head.

The Blue Moon magician cut off his flowing long hair, and this season's bald look shocked many fans: the literary youth midfielder has become a butcher.

Morata couldn't help but joke: "Your hairstyle is just like Guardiola's."

Hearing this.

De Bruyne, who was behind in the queue, couldn't help but smile.

He looked a lot fatter than last season. He had achieved his weight gain goal, and with his "natural strength," ordinary Premier League center-backs would be easily knocked over by him.

His eyes scanned the Chelsea queue, but he didn't see Courtois.

Netizens once joked: "Every time he meets Courtois, De Bruyne's combat power explodes."

The hatred of having one's wife stolen is not something that ordinary people can digest.

De Bruyne and Courtois both came from the Genk youth academy.

The two had been good friends since they were 14 years old.

Legend has it:

After the green hat incident that year, the Belgian coaching staff decided to permanently expel Courtois from the national team. De Bruyne stood up and stopped this decision: "Even if it's Courtois's fault, he is still an excellent goalkeeper, and Belgium needs him!"

Clap clap clap!

The applause was thunderous and lasted for a long time.

For the honor of the national team, Ding Ding put down his personal grievances. What a great sentiment, worthy of learning by every Belgian player!

And the result?

His ex-girlfriend jumped out and provoked on social media: "Courtois provided me that night with services that I never enjoyed in the three years I was with De Bruyne."

The queue began to move.

The Etihad Stadium set off waves of earth-shattering shouts.

Li Kang walked out of the tunnel.

The noise gradually subsided.

A mechanical, cold, electronic synthesized voice sounded in his ears.

[Ding! Task triggered: Blue Moon in the Sky.]

[Task Description: Tremble! You are about to face Guardiola's Manchester City – Complete Body! The Blue Moon is no longer as dim as it was last season! You cannot escape unscathed at the Etihad Stadium!]

[Task Reward: Manchester City – Dark Gold Treasure Chest!]

Li Kang did not question the difficulty of this game, but the reward of the dark gold treasure chest was beyond his expectations.

Is it that difficult?

"Ctv5! Ctv5! Good evening, viewers!"

"Welcome to the second round of the 2017-18 Premier League season!"

"Manchester City vs. Chelsea at home!"

"The battle of the Blues!"

"A focal point battle!"

"Last season, Manchester City was swept by Chelsea!"

"Can Guardiola avenge himself tonight?"

"Let's wait and see."

Duan Xuan looked down at Manchester City's starting lineup and couldn't help but want to take back what he had just said.

Cahill and Kompany shook hands and exchanged team flags.

Tonight's referee combination is a bit rare: the two assistant referees are girls, and the fourth official is an older woman.

"Next, we will introduce the starting lineups of both sides."

"Manchester City's formation is 3-1-4-2!"

"Goalkeeper: Ederson."

"Defenders: Kompany, Stones, Otamendi."

"Single defensive midfielder: Fernandinho."

"Central midfielders: Kyle Walker, David Silva, De Bruyne, Sane."

"Forwards: Aguero, Jesus."

Ctv5 live broadcast room.

-

[The newly bought B. Silva, Mendy, and Danilo aren't starting?]

-

[Guardiola has very high requirements for teamwork. If they haven't meshed to a certain extent, they won't start. Rebuilding is a long-term accumulation process, and you need patience.]

-

[Guardiola is doing something fancy again. Sterling isn't starting either!]

-

[Sterling isn't playing? This game is stable!]

"Chelsea's formation is 4-3-3!"

"Goalkeeper: Caballero."

"Defenders: Azpilicueta, David Luiz, Cahill, Rudiger."

"Midfielders: Li Kang, Kante, Fabregas."

"Forwards: Hazard, Diego Costa, Pedro!"

-

[Haven't found a suitable goalkeeper yet? Won't Chelsea be torn apart by Manchester City?]

-

[Don't be misled by the lineup on paper. My rich experience tells me that this game will have few goals. I'm betting on a boring 0-0 draw!]

-

[Impossible, Li Mingdeng comes with a 2:0 attribute!]

Beep!

The referee blew the whistle!

The game officially begins!

That's all for tonight, everyone go to bed early. The following content may be sent together.
