October 26, the 11th round of the Premier League.
Manchester City welcomed the challenge of Birmingham at their home ground.
The crowd surpassed sixty thousand.
The Manchester City fans' confidence in their team had returned.
Right from the start, Deng Kai launched a through ball with a kickoff kill.
Robbie Fowler, starting in the lineup, seized the moment and scored a lightning-fast goal.
Following that, Ribery dribbled horizontally and cut through to the middle before delivering a brilliant pass. Roberto Baggio curled it into the far corner with precision.
The second half.
Adriano, who came on as a substitute for Fowler, provided a headed knockdown to assist Tu Lei's world-class shot.
This was Adriano's second assist in the Premier League.
However, his goal account remained unopened.
But he was no longer in a rush.
As long as he was integrated into the team, scoring goals was just a matter of time.
After all, he was not a striker who focused on scoring.
