Manchester City now has the same points as Arsenal and tied for third place in the standings.

The performance of this team has attracted many people to admire, but they are not the real dark horses this season.

The so-called dark horses must have a very average team's strength and always perform mediocrely. Manchester City meets the subsequent conditions at that time. However, Manchester City's current personnel configuration is not inferior to some giants.

A real dark horse appeared in the top European league, Hull City, a team that has never competed in the highest-level league in the past 104 years. In this round of the league, they beat West Brom Go three to zero away and played nine Premier League games. Hull City scored six wins, two draws and one loss, and accumulated 20 points, ranking second in the league, only one point less than the leader Liverpool!

This Yorkshire team, which was struggling in the fourth-level league four years ago, shocked the world with their amazing performance of winning two North London giants twice in a week. They defeated Arsenal 2-1 away in the sixth round of the league, and eliminated Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 away in the seventh round of the league. They won West Ham United at home in the eighth round of the league, and defeated West Brom Go three goals away in this round!

This is definitely one of the most popular teams in the Premier League now. Except for Manchester City, which has the same outstanding performance, it can be compared with Hull City.

Hull City's amazing performance made everyone who predicted that it would be a 'relegation favorite' before the new season shattered their glasses. And their fans were so proud that they could sing to former European champion coach Ramos in White Hart Lane: "You will be out of class tomorrow morning."

Since the traditional jersey is a yellow and black shirt, Hull City nicknamed "Tiger". This was originally a sarcastic word from the outside world to make fun of "tiger skin", but now it is the best portrayal of Hull City's "fear of animals".

The Tigers' five away games were 4 wins and 1 draw, and three of them were in London. In addition, their Premier League upgrade play-off against Bristol City last season - the greatest day in club history - was also played at Wembley Stadium in London, and the capital has become the favorite place for Hull City people.

This ancient team has visited the top Premier League stadium for the first time in history, but has written a different chapter with its high fighting spirit, which makes everyone look at it with admiration!

However, although Hull City is now ranked second in the standings and the media also praised this team, in fact, not many people are really optimistic about this team. The general view is that at the end of the season, Hull City can rank in the middle of the standings, which is a perfect season for this team that played in the top league for the first time in history.

On the contrary, Manchester City, which was questioned before, began to be optimistic, especially in this round of the league, in the absence of Zhang Yang, Manchester City beat Stoke City 3-0 at home, which surprised people. Some people who began to question Manchester City's "Yangyang Dependence" were also temporarily shut up after this game. They had a choice to say that the future of Manchester City this season may be worth looking forward to.

The Times analyzed the Manchester City team, "Money is not omnipotent, but with money, it can enrich everything you want. Manchester City is like this now. The team with Zhang Yang, Robinho and Modric are on the right path, and they seem to be able to adapt to Zhang Yang's absence. In the game against Stoke City, both Robinho and Modric, their performance is quite outstanding. Of course, with Zhang Yang Manchester City, the most powerful! This Chinese guy has begun to brand his imprint on the 'Blue Moon'."

The Times used a page to discuss the huge changes that happened to Manchester City in the new season. The reporter believed that money was the first element. As the first big player in Manchester City's gold and dollar offensive, Zhang Yang's arrival was epoch-making. Zhang Yang's arrival not only changed Manchester City's playing style, but also solved Manchester City's three chronic diseases: first of all, it is naturally the problem of Manchester City's poor ability to attack. This is the fatal reason why Manchester City often collapses. Zhang Yang's strength is undoubtedly. With him on the court, he is the biggest for his opponent.

Deterrence; second, Zhang Yang's threat is not only because he can score goals, but also because Zhang Yang can pass and shoot. By the ninth round of the league, he has contributed five assists and ranked first in the assist list; third, Manchester City has been criticized for being inadequate in his blood and not playing hard. After the arrival of this very personality star, he brought masculinity to Manchester City. In the battle against Liverpool, Zhang Yang led Manchester City to equalize the score several times. Although the conflict between him and Mascherano is not worth encouraging, it can be seen that his personality is tough.

The Guardian believes that the Manchester City team has taken shape now, and only needs to make fine adjustments in key areas, and the rest is to say that this team is better combined. After nine rounds of the league, Manchester City has been running-in, and this team also makes people look forward to him more. In this season, Zhang Yang and his teammates will bring a huge shock effect to the league pattern. Manchester City's performance in this season will surprise everyone, and they are changing the powerful pattern of the league.

The Daily Mail asked three questions to fans and reporters. First, how many rounds will Manchester City continue to have unbeaten record after the start of the new season? Second, who can end Manchester City's unbeaten golden body? Third, Zhang Yang, who ended the suspension, will he still score crazy goals when he returned to the team?

"We are surprised by the performance of Manchester City after the start of the new season. They did not fall down when facing Chelsea and Liverpool. The scores of 3-3 and 5-5 confirm the cruelty of these two games. They did not lose the upper hand when facing strong teams. When facing opponents with average strength, they often win big, and even slaughtered Portsmouth with seven to zero. Can this Manchester City team continue in this good state? How long will their unbeaten golden body last? Will Zhang Yang continue his crazy goal-scoring state? Will he dominate the Premier League in his first Premier League season? We will wait and see these questions!"

For Manchester City and Zhang Yang, the current public opinion environment is much better than at the beginning of the season.

The media also praised Manchester City and the glorious.

Even the Manchester Guardian shouted a half-defeated slogan for Manchester City. Well, this slogan is a bit exaggerated, but Manchester City fans like it.

However, it has to be said that Manchester City really has no blessing in dispelling these praises.

Moreover, their luck is really not very good.

On October 29, Manchester City's away game against Middlesbrough, Zhang Yang injured his thigh muscles while warming up before the game and could not play. Mark Hughes could only temporarily decide to replace Zhang Yang's starting position with Bozinov.

Zhang Yang was injured while warming up, which seemed to show Manchester City's unlucky luck in this game. The final score of this game was zero-to-one. They lost to Middlesbrough away, and the unbeaten golden body of the season was broken. Moreover, Middlesbrough's goals were all on the head of Manchester City's central defender Kompany, and there was a very strange change of line, which can even be understood as Kompany's header and shot the goal...

After losing the game against Middlesbrough, Manchester City's points ranking suddenly dropped to seventh place!

Of course, because the score difference between the top seven is relatively small, although Manchester City ranks seventh, they may raise their rankings at any time.

However, for this team, the loss of this game was a big blow to morale.

After the game, the team doctor's report also cast a shadow on the entire Manchester City team.

Zhang Yang's injury is more serious than expected. He will be on standby for a week, which means that in the next round of the team's home game against Boulder, Zhang Yang will also watch from the wall.

This will even hit the entire Manchester City team more than this defeat. When the team lost and the unbeaten golden body was broken, the team urgently needed one person to stand up and stabilize the morale of the army. No matter from any aspect, Zhang Yang is the most suitable candidate, but he was injured again.

Other players, whether Robinho, Modric or Wright Phillips, cannot replace Zhang Yang's role in the team. They do not have the appeal and strength of Zhang Yang.

After these games, Zhang Yang has long won the trust of the whole team. Everyone believes in him and believes in him. If Zhang Yang stands up and says, a loss is nothing, I will take everyone to win the next game. No one will think that this Chinese guy is talking big, and everyone's mood will become much better because of this sentence. Unfortunately, he is injured now and cannot play the game.

The next week of the Premier League is a one-week double-game, and in the middle of the week, Manchester City will challenge Bolton away.

In this game, Manchester City lost again away, and the score was still zero-to-one. After the start of this season, the majestic "Blue Moon" suffered two consecutive losses.

It is said that the media is the most unreliable, and this is not true at all.

The media that had previously sang praises for Manchester City suddenly changed their faces.

"We said at the beginning of the season that Manchester City team will not perform well this season. Football does not mean that it will be effective immediately after spending money. This is a gradual accumulation process. The Arabs are very ambitious, but unfortunately, they are destined to be disappointed. Now, as expected, the eleventh round of the league has passed, what are their current rankings? Seventh place! And I just experienced two consecutive losses, no one knows whether they will continue to lose?" - The Guardian

This comment from The Guardian represents the mainstream voice of Fleet Street now. They are all questioning Manchester City. Some simply sentenced Manchester City to death again. They seem to have long since forgotten it. Two weeks ago, they were still sing praises to Manchester City, and some even said that it was not a problem for Manchester City to enter the top four in the league. Now, just two weeks later, after two defeats, all the praises have long disappeared, leaving only overwhelming criticism.

Because of the previous report, the Sun has become a grudge with Zhang Yang, who is Manchester City's banner, which has also led to the relationship between the media and Manchester City club becoming a little bad. Seeing that Manchester City's record declined, the Sun has a bit of gloating. They also used a page to sarcastically sarcasticly at Manchester City. The title is:

Manchester City, you are really unprofessed!
