The warm-up time was limited to forty minutes, and players from both sides returned to the locker room one after another to prepare for the International Champions Cup, which started at eight o'clock.

At this time, fans who were looking forward to the Tianchao District International Champions Cup also saw the starting lineups of both sides from their respective channels.

Manchester City, who were drawn as the home team, gave a formation of 4231, with starting goalkeeper Caballero, defenders Kolarov, Otamendi, Adarabioyu, Clichy, and double midfielder Fernandinho partnering Del husband, three forwards Zinchenko, David Silva and Navas, with Aguero at the front.

Although this starting lineup is not Manchester City's strongest lineup, it is very close to the main lineup.

Ajax goalkeeper Onana, defenders Weltmann, Dykes, Verhofer and Tate, midfielders Ledwald, Bazol and Schone, forwards Van Kerry and Casiera and Bertrand Traore.

The commentators who got the Ajax starting lineup were very surprised because... the starting lineup is too young!

Except for central defender Phil Hofer and midfielder Schone, who were born in the 1980s, the other players were all born in the 1990s. Goalkeepers Onana, Dykes, Ledwald, Bazol, Casella, Bertrand Te Raore and Van Kary are both born in 1995, and Van Kary is the only one born in 1999 and the youngest player on both sides of the game.

Lux Sports commentator Zhan Jun sat in the live broadcast room and said:"Ajax's players are too young. This is also in line with their traditional style. They are good at using young players. The 17-year-old youngster Fan Kerry Showing off his power against Manchester United, I wonder if this descendant of the Chinese dynasty from the Ajax youth training can continue to perform well in this game.……"

Manchester United has a very large fan base in China. Fan Kerry, who single-handedly led Ajax to defeat Manchester United, became famous in one battle and became a hot super star in the Chinese fan circle.

In the past three days, the energy of the media has been huge. His life experience is well known to the fans, so they are very concerned about this talented player with pure Chinese blood. They also hope that he can continue to play in the International Champions Cup against Manchester City. outstanding.

People from China don’t know how to play football?

No!

It's just that the soil in China is not suitable for the growth of football geniuses.

Manchester City head coach Guardiola looked at Ajax's starting lineup and pondered slightly. To be honest, he didn't care much about this giant team from the Eredivisie, even though they beat their city rivals Manchester United three days ago.

In his mind, Manchester United players are overpaid and incompetent, and the value of most players is not worthy of their true level. Even with his old rival Mourinho in charge, he cannot change much. He lost 1:4 against the vigorous Ajax. Not particularly surprising.

But then again, Guardiola, who has just taken over as Manchester City head coach, is still more cautious. Facing the young Ajax, the most important thing is stability, followed by the pursuit of goals.

Young players are invincible when playing downwind, but once it turns into a headwind, there is no solution, but this solution makes it difficult to turn defeat into victory.

Ten minutes before the start of the game, the starting players of both sides came to the tunnel. Van Carey was affected by his outstanding performance in the previous game, and the young Zinchenko and Adarabioyu frequently looked at it.

Van Carey glanced disapprovingly, then looked at Manchester City No. 10 Aguero. The position that determines the outcome is largely the forward. Both are the shooters of each team. Whoever scores more goals means which side has a higher chance of winning. Therefore, Van Carey wants to score more goals than Aguero.

Winning the game is his career philosophy!

Aguero turned his head and met Van Kerry's eyes, and smiled slightly. He knew that this young player had scored a hat trick against Manchester United three days ago. He was a very promising young player. He smiled and gave a thumbs up.

Fan Kerry then gave a thumbs up to show respect.

"Beep~"

With the whistle of the Chinese referee Fu Ming, the International Champions Cup match between Ajax and Manchester City kicked off.

Ajax, who had a kick-off advantage, did not rush forward to attack, but passed Penetrate forward in a step-by-step manner to test Manchester City's strength.

After more than half a minute of passing, the football came to the feet of left back Weltman, with Navas lying in front of him. Van Kerri pulled to the left sideline to ask for the ball. Welter Terman raised his eyebrows. Van Carey had already been targeted by Zinchenko and Klich, and the pass would most likely be intercepted.

Van Carey took two more steps to open up enough space to catch the ball.

Weltman From the corner of his eye, he noticed that there was no good opportunity in the middle and decisively gave it to Fan Kerry who was in charge.

"aoaaooooooooo——"

The football rolled close to the ground towards Fan Kerry, and the fanatical atmosphere created at Pengcheng Stadium instantly increased by two levels, quickly sweeping through the entire stadium like a mountain roaring and a tsunami.

Feeling the fanaticism coming towards him, Fan Carey, who originally wanted to pass the ball, decided to head towards Hushan.

Klich and Zinchenko blocked the path he had to pass, but things depended on manpower. Van Carey moved the ball forward with the outside instep of his right foot, and his whole body began to speed up.

I saw his left shoulder sinking, his left foot stepping forward to the left, and his center of gravity tilted very much, giving the illusion that he was trying to force a breakthrough from the left sideline.

Krish didn't quite believe that Van Carey would force a breakthrough, but Van Carey's movements were so real that his body's center of gravity had to subconsciously shift slightly to the right.

Of course, being experienced in the game, he did not completely rush to the right, but kept his back hand.

I thought this young man really knows how to play!

Van Carey's left foot did not touch the football!

His linking movement was very fast, his right shoulder sank, swinging sharply from left to right like a pendulum clock, he stepped forward with his right foot, as if to move the football, Krish kicked his right foot hard, The huge reaction force turned his body's center of gravity back to the left, completing a closed defense with Zinchenko.

Unexpectedly, Fan Kerry still did not touch the football. When his right foot landed, he used his super explosive power to quickly reverse his center of gravity, causing his left shoulder to sink.

Chrissy, who had just returned to his center of gravity, cursed Fan Kerry in front of him,"Can you move the ball?"

At this time, Van Kerry was less than two meters away from Clichy. The outside instep of his left foot moved towards the football, and his whole body rushed to the left like lightning. Clichy's pupils shrank suddenly. He was over 30 years old and had already lost his ability. With the amazing explosive power back then, it is obviously impossible to keep up with Van Carey's frequency of direction changes.

Therefore, he could only watch as Fan Carey made a breakthrough from the opposite direction of his center of gravity.

When He Wei, the commentator of China Channel 5, saw this, his emotions instantly became excited, and his voice suddenly rose an octave:"A textbook pendulum pass!!"
