The residual warmth of World Cup has slowly faded away.
On December 20, the war on the Europe battlefield resumed.
The fifteenth round of the Premier League League started with fierce fighting.
Manchester City was at home and faced the challenge from Everton.
In this game, head coach Guardiola did not start Li Mingyu.
However, before this competition, Li Mingyu was awarded Qatar by FIFA and Golden Boot by World Cup.
Before the game, Li Mingyu was at home and deliberately showed his personal honor to everyone who came to the stadium.
World Cup Best Young Player, World Cup Golden Boot, World Cup Golden Ball.
Seeing the envious expressions of his teammates, Li Mingyu was very sensible and did not choose to complain.
Li Mingyu's current physical condition has not fully recovered, so for this game, Guardiola put him on the bench. If there is no problem in the game, Li Mingyu can rest for this game.
Most of the players in Manchester City have participated in this World Cup journey.
Although England National Team lost to Portugal National Team in the quarter-finals and returned home early, their physical condition has not returned to normal.
Among Everton, not many people participated in this World Cup, so their physical fitness and physical condition are the best.
Manchester City was actually beaten by Everton in the first half, and even scored a goal in the 30th minute.
At the end of the first half, Manchester City trailed its opponent 0:1 at its home court.
At the beginning of the second half, Guardiola sent out Li Mingyu who took the initiative to fight.
This is the home court, Li Mingyu, the home court, naturally understands everything.
With systematic protection, Li Mingyu felt energetic all over as soon as he stepped onto the court.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully signing in Etihad Stadium and obtaining the talent of Manchester City celebrity David Silva--Eagle Eye!]
David Silva is a player who allowed Etihad Stadium to build a statue for him, and his contribution to Manchester City is evident.
David Silva's technique is very delicate, and his midfield organization ability is definitely world-class, helping Manchester City and Spain National Team win many honors.
The most talked about thing is David Silva's passing vision. Often, David Silva can see some places that others cannot see and pass the ball directly to the opponent's heart.
After Li Mingyu came on the field, he found that his field of vision had become much wider. In the past, when Li Mingyu was organizing in the midfield, he had to constantly look left and right, which made his organization of offense somewhat rough.
But now, Li Mingyu feels that he only needs to turn his head slightly left and right to see most of the places behind him.
This exaggerated vision control is simply even more powerful for Li Mingyu.
In the second half of the game, Everton's players felt as if Manchester City, who were suppressed by them in the first half, was on a different team.
The appearance of Li Mingyu brought about a radical change to the team.
Manchester City, who had been dull for a half, finally showed their fangs.
In the 50th minute of the second half, Li Mingyu, with his back to the goal in the middle, kicked his heel directly, and the football passed between the two players. Gabriel Jesus rushed to the ball and fired furiously to help the team equalize the score.
Li Mingyu received an assist again.
Even the commentator couldn't help but admire that such an imaginative pass was indeed King of the World Cup's creativity.
The level of Li Mingyu seems to have been raised to another level after being tempered by World Cup.
Everton's players have no threat at all in front of Li Mingyu.
Seeing Li Mingyu's cool moves on the court, England couldn't help but admire him.
Li Mingyu, England people are really envious. For the first time they participated in World Cup, they were able to win the World Cup championship, and they also performed so well on World Cup.
In the past twenty years, England has been a favorite before the start of every World Cup, but it has never reached the finals, which makes England people feel very depressed.
In the 60th minute, Li Mingyu made a beautiful Flip Flap. After staggering the opponent's midfielder, he dribbled the ball to the front of the penalty area. Facing the tight defense of the opponent's defender, Li Mingyu directly shot a long shot.
Like a white lightning, the football rushed directly into Everton's goal.
At this time, the goalkeeper looked confused, which made the fans at the scene both excited and surprised.
A series of numbers were played on the big screen in the stadium, causing Manchester City fans to let out a loud exclamation.
233 kilometers per hour!
Li Mingyu's long-range shot just now reached a top speed of 233 kilometers per hour. This speed is already comparable to the average speed of an F1 racing car.
No wonder the opponent's goalkeeper didn't react at all. Since his line of sight was blocked by the defender, he didn't see where the football was coming from.
By the time he reacted, the football had already hit the goal.
Even the Manchester City players looked at Li Mingyu like they were looking at God.
Damn it, whoever the ball hits will die!
Manchester City's substitute goalkeeper Steffen couldn't help but shudder!
It's so scary, I want to transfer!
Li Mingyu scored his first goal since returning.
However, everyone did not have to wait long for the second ball.
In the 75th minute, Li Mingyu used the most familiar long-distance running attack, passing through four opposing players in a row, volleyed, and sent the football into the goal from the armpit of the attacking goalkeeper.
3:1, Li Mingyu helped the team score three goals in thirty minutes.
The players of Everton were completely impressed by Li Mingyu.
In the end, the result of this game was fixed at 3:1, and Li Mingyu continued to lead the Manchester City league to fifteen consecutive victories.
In the next four rounds of the league, if Manchester City can still win, then they will create a history in the England top league, winning half of the league, which means Manchester City has defeated all opponents in the league.
This is something that has never happened before in the history of the England top league.
Even Arsenal, who won the championship undefeated in the 2003-2004 season, could not do it.
The one closest to this result should be Liverpool in 2019. They had 18 wins, 1 draw and 55 points in their first 19 games.
There are still four games left, and Manchester City is about to create an unprecedented record.
After the game ended, three days later, the war at Champions League resumed.
In the first three rounds of the Champions League group stage, Manchester City won three out of three games, firmly occupying the first place in the group.
The other three teams all had one win and two losses.
AC Milan is ranked second with a goal difference of -3.
Bayer Leverkusen and Barcelona both have a -4 goal difference. Since Bayer Leverkusen defeated Barcelona, the outcome is dominant, so Bayer Leverkusen is third and Barcelona is fourth.
It is indeed the group of death. For the other three teams, it is really the group of death!
This time, Manchester City is sitting on his home court, facing Italy's powerful team AC Milan.
If Manchester City can win this game, then they will get the right to qualify from the group two rounds in advance, and there is a high probability that they will be first in the group.
And AC Milan will not let Manchester City get three points easily.
However, the current AC Milan is also full of problems. The biggest problem is that their forward Mandžukić sprained his ankle in World Cup and has not recovered yet. Therefore, their main forward is absent in this game, which is a huge blow to AC Milan's combat effectiveness.
However, before that, Li Mingyu received two invitation letters.
One is an invitation letter from FIFA, hoping that he can come to Paris to participate in FIFA's annual awards ceremony on December 30, 2022.
One is an invitation letter from <France Football>. I hope he can come to Paris on December 31, 2022 to participate in Ballon d'Or held by <France Football>.
Due to World Cup being held this year, the annual award ceremony of FIFA and the awarding of Ballon d'Or have also been postponed for a few days.
This time, Li Mingyu's mood was completely different from the last time.
In the last FIFA annual award, Li Mingyu only won one Puskás Award.
As for Ballon d'Or, Li Mingyu was not invited at all.
And this time, Li Mingyu has been nominated for the Men's Player of the Year award, the Best FIFA Men's Player, due to his outstanding performance on World Cup. Similarly, among the nominations of Ballon d'Or, Li Mingyu is also the one with the highest voice.
Li Mingyu is very hopeful that he can win the two highest personal awards in the football world, the Best FIFA Men's Player and Ballon d'Or.
With the motivation of two invitation letters, Li Mingyu went crazy when facing AC Milan.
The score of 5:0 made AC Milan, who came from afar, feel sad.
Li Mingyu, who scored 3 goals and 1 assist, won the best player of the game.
Li Mingyu became the new victim of AC Milan.
In the four games against AC Milan in two years, Li Mingyu scored a total of 11 goals, averaging nearly 3 goals per game, making Li Mingyu a veritable nemesis of AC Milan.
In another game the next day, Barcelona returned to their home court and defeated Bayer Leverkusen cleanly with 3:0.
Messi scored twice and also sent a fatal assist, helping Netherlands player Depay, who had just arrived on the team, complete the final blow.
With two wins and two losses, Barcelona has jumped to the second position.
Bayer Leverkusen and Barcelona changed places and came to the last place in the group.
Manchester City is the barometer of this group. As long as he plays a game with Manchester City, his opponent's ranking will change drastically.
In the sixteenth round of the league, Manchester City came to Brighton's home court.
Li Mingyu was substituted in the 70th minute and scored the only goal of the game, ensuring the team's victory.
December 30th.
Li Mingyu wore a decent suit and came to Paris of France.
Outside the door of Palais Garnier, a Maybach parked there.
Under the curious eyes of the reporters, Li Mingyu walked out of the car. Facing the reporters' crazy photos and cheers, Li Mingyu smiled very elegantly.
However, after Li Mingyu got off the car, she did not walk onto the red carpet immediately. Instead, she came to the other side of the car door and opened the door.
In the reporter's gossipy eyes, two familiar faces got out of the car.
Bella and Catherine.
Catherine looked blushing, while Bella looked helpless.
Because she was "kidnapped" by Catherine.
When he learned that Li Mingyu was going to attend the award ceremony of FIFA, Catherine plucked up the courage and called Li Mingyu and asked her if she could be his female companion and attend the award ceremony together.
Although Li Mingyu is a bit dull in terms of emotions, he is very moved by the passionate and beautiful Catherine.
Coupled with the alluring kiss on World Cup's stage, Li Mingyu also had a plan in mind.
After getting Li Mingyu's consent, Catherine danced happily in the dormitory, which made Bella, who was reading a book on the side, couldn't help but rub his temples.
My best friend is hopeless.
"Hey, Bella, when the time comes, come with me!"
Looking at Catherine who was blinking his big eyes, Bella said with a headache, "What am I going to do? Be a light bulb?"
When Catherine saw that Bella refused, he couldn't help but feel anxious and said, "I, I don't dare to go by myself!"
In the end, Bella was kidnapped by Catherine under the pressure of Catherine.
Li Mingyu is wearing a black suit.
Bella is a series of white long skirts, which look noble and elegant, as delicate and beautiful as a white lotus.
However, everyone's eyes were turned to another beauty.
Catherine's style today is completely different from her style in the World Cup stands.
Milan Fashion Week just wore the most popular red one-shoulder evening dress, which undoubtedly showed off her beautiful figure.
Catherine suppressed his shyness and put his arm into Li Mingyu's arm.
On the other side, Bella also put his arm into Li Mingyu's other arm with a faint smile.
For a time, Li Mingyu became the envy and jealousy of all the men in the scene.
Although everyone knows that Bella is the cousin of Li Mingyu, they can't stop everyone from being jealous of him.
"Li, congratulations on being nominated for Player of the Year this year. How do you feel?"
The smile on the host's face outside the venue was somewhat forced, because she looked ordinary next to the two beauties.
The famous France female host Monica is a very famous France Football reporter. With both beauty and intelligence, she has always been the focus of people's attention.
But in front of Catherine and Bella, she seemed eclipsed, like a passerby.
Li Mingyu smiled slightly and said, "I am very grateful to FIFA for being able to nominate me as the best player of the year. I will strive to score more goals to repay those who support me!"
Li Mingyu's answer is very short.
Because this time, Li Mingyu is already a sure winner as the Player of the Year, so he doesn't need any words to cheer him up.
