(Brothers are awesome~~~Continue to ask for votes)

However, before welcoming the No.11 league round, Manchester City needs to go to Villarreal in the Valencia Autonomous Region of Spain. There, Manchester City will usher in the fourth round of the group stage, which is also the most critical game in the group stage.

The weather and air in England are completely incomparable with Spain. One hundred and one out of every [-] people living in England will complain about the weather in England.

What's more, Villarreal is close to the beautiful Mediterranean Sea, the oldest sea in the world. It only takes 10 minutes to drive from Villarreal to the Mediterranean Sea.

Strictly speaking, this is Li Feng's first visit to Spain. Although he went to Madrid in the 09-10 UEFA Champions League final, his opponent at that time was Inter Milan, not a Spanish team.

The rise of Villarreal is quite legendary. It was established in 1923, but for more than 70 years after its establishment, Villarreal has been in the lower leagues and did not enter La Liga until 1998.

After a short period of adaptation, the Yellow Submarine began to gain a firm foothold in La Liga, and slowly grew into an indispensable team in La Liga, and even had the feat of suppressing Barcelona.

Last season, the Yellow Submarine broke into the UEFA Champions League again, but unfortunately, they were drawn into the Super Death Group. So far, Villarreal has not scored any points and is at the bottom of the group with 0 points.

Therefore, in this Champions Cup, unless there is a miracle, Villarreal will not have any possibility of qualifying for the group stage, and they will not even be able to participate in the UEFA Cup.

The house leak coincided with continuous rain. Just before the UEFA Champions League, in the tenth round of La Liga against Real Madrid, Villarreal striker Rossi ruptured his cruciate ligament and bid farewell to this season. Then in the eleventh round, another forward Ruben was also injured and left the field.

It is worth mentioning that Rossi's injury not only affected Villarreal's performance this season, but also affected Rossi's future career. The dream of a wealthy family was shattered and eventually disappeared from everyone. This is the consequence of Rossi's serious injury.

"Compared to Spain, the weather in England is the worst," Balotelli said with disgust and disgust when he came to Villarreal and looked at the sunny sky and dry and fresh air.

In England, apart from the media, the weather in England is what Balotelli can't stand the most. In fact, everyone in Manchester City agrees with it. Even the head coach Marco van Basten couldn't help but nodded.

"This game is very critical, and it may even affect our schedule for the next few months, and it is very likely to affect us and the direction of the entire Premier League," Van Basten said at the press conference, frowning.

This is not an alarmist talk by Van Basten. In the next two months, Manchester City will usher in the devil's schedule, the Champions League, the league and the cup. Manchester City, which has been hungry for honor for too long, does not want to give up any event, especially the Champions League and the league. If you are not careful, you will be doomed.

Among them, the league is the most. In the next two months, Manchester City will face Newcastle United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal in turn. The latter three traditional giants do not need to describe too much.

Therefore, the game against Villarreal is related to Manchester City's next situation in the Champions League. If this game beats Villarreal, then Manchester City will get 10 points.

"Yes, this game is very important to us. Although we have had a difficult time recently, we will not give up because of this. We will fight until the last moment." Facing the upcoming life and death battle, Villarreal coach Garrido said so.

Garrido's life in Villarreal is not easy. Rumors of a coaching change have already been rampant. However, considering Villarreal's injuries this season, it is also understandable for Villarreal's current results. After all, most of the main players are all injured.

"Yes, we are at a critical moment. We are very aware of the importance of this game, so we are ready and Spain will take away a victory." Getting a red card in the last round did not affect Kompany's mood. After all, the red card in the last game was not bad, so the FA did not impose additional penalties.

The captain stood up, and as a teammate, he naturally waved the flag to express his support, "Although it will be difficult to be a guest in Spain, we are ready to meet this difficulty," Joe Hart said.

At 11 o'clock in the evening on November 2nd, Villarreal's home stadium, the Love Song Stadium, has a very nice name. This stadium was built in the same year as Villarreal and has been used as Villarreal's home stadium. It can accommodate 22000 fans in total.

Half an hour before the game, the players of the two teams after the warm-up had already returned to the locker room, listening to the final arrangement of the head coach.

Villarreal lineup: 442
Goalkeeper: Lopez
Defenders: Katara, Gonzalo, Musacchio, Mario

Midfielders: Mubarak, Marchena, Borja, De Guzman
Forwards: Perez, Joseru
Compared with the previous game, Villarreal's lineup has changed quite a lot, especially the strikers. The sad Villarreal strikers all went to the team doctor. For this reason, Perez was pushed to the striker, and even Joselu was temporarily transferred from the second team.

Manchester City lineup: 433
Goalkeeper: Joe Hart
Defenders: Kolarov, Kompany, Boateng, Zabaleta
Midfielders: De Jong, Yaya Toure, Li Feng

Forwards: Silva, Balotelli, Aguero

Manchester City's lineup can definitely support Manchester City's multi-line operations, and it is even enough for Van Basten to put up two completely different lineups. On the defense line, Clichy, Richards, Raskett, Kolo Toure, Savage, midfielder, Barry, Hargreaves, Miner, Adam Johnson, Dzeko on the front line has been thrown to Tevez in the reserve team.

In this game, Van Basten chose Balotelli as the starter again. As Balotelli's condition became better and better, Van Basten began to let him and Dzeko rotate.

In a blink of an eye, the time came to [-]:[-], and the players from both sides officially appeared on the field under the leadership of the referee, and the referee in charge of law enforcement for the game was the Golden Whistle Proenca from Portugal.
