The Swansea City Club was founded in 1912 and belongs to the young in the British team. The name of the city of Swansea means 'Estuary of the Swan River' in English, although there is no one here called 'Swan'
(swan)' River. If you ask the local natives, they will tell you that the Bay of Bristol was once called the Swan Sea. But swans cannot live on the sea, never!
So the nickname of Swansea's team is Swan. Judging from the team logo, it is still a black swan.
In June this year, the Swansea club was acquired by a consortium led by major league team Washington DC co-owner Jason Levivin and NBA team Memphis Grizzlies executive vice chairman Steve Kaplan, giving this
The team that has been lukewarm since its establishment has brought a lot of expectations.
In the 2012-13 season, under the leadership of Danish coach Dale Laudrup, Swansea defeated Bradford from the League Two 5-0 at Wembley Stadium and won the League Cup of the year, which is also
The final of the biggest score in League Cup history is also the only championship trophy with a lot of weight in Swansea's 100 years of establishment.
In February 2014, Big Laudrup parted ways with Swansea, and the team captain, 35-year-old guard Gary Monk became the head coach.
Two years later, in January this year, Swansea was trembling at a position that was only one point higher than the relegation zone. Young coach Monk was dismissed, Italian coach "Little Zhuge" Guidolin took office and led the team to successfully land at the end of the season.
.
Francisco Guidolin, 61, has traveled to the Apennines in his coaching career. He feels that he has coached all the mid- and lower-level teams in Serie A and is an old world in the coaching industry.
Two days ago, Swansea lost to Manchester City 1:2 in the League Cup. To be honest, Guidolin doesn't care. Guardiola, who won the ball, doesn't care. Neither of them sent their main players. After all, the Premier League is the highlight.
.
When the big American boss comes, there will naturally be some meeting gifts. In the summer transfer window that just passed, Swansea still acquired many famous players, including the 31-year-old former Biba and Juventus Spain
Center Llorente.
In addition, the original Polish goalkeeper Fabianski from Arsenal, South Korean midfielder Ji Chengyong, Icelandic forward Sigoodson, England international Jack Coke, and Swansea still have several more corners.
Manchester City's sky-high cannon Aguero Dintin and Sterling are on the wings, midfielder Gundogan, Silva and Febia. The centre-back combination now seems that Guardiola still prefers Stones and Ottamendi the most
.Two Biansanya and Kolarov.
Neither Kompani nor Sabaleta were on the court, and the captain gave David Silva an armband.
Two days ago, Zhuo Yang did not come due to an ankle injury. Before today's game, the old coach Guidolin came here to greet him and hug him, and welcomed Zhuo Yang to the White Stone Stadium.
During the three years Zhuo Yang was in AC Milan, Guidolin coached Palermo, but the two were not familiar with each other.
In the age of Guardiola, Mourinho, Klopp, Simeone, Conte, Enrique, Tuchel, Zidane, and other new-generation coaches in the world, the 64-year-old Ranieri is in the world.
Leading Leicester City to win the Premier League championship last season has brought great confidence to the old coaches who are so oppressed that they can't breathe.
Especially traditional Italian coaches like Guidolin, they walk with the wind.
Swansea is also a team with sea breezes in the game. Llorente of 193 and Sigoodson of 188. In today's era when Xiao Ling is about to turmoil the world, the double center tactics are like a refreshing wind.
After the opening, Routledge and Britton, two small men on both wings, made several crosses and rushed through the side, which made people frightened. Fortunately, Stones was not vague today, Bravo also made a timely attack, and Manchester City almost survived.
Swansea's three tricks.
The wind continues to blow, but the flying birds are never afraid of the wind, especially the birds.
In the 9th minute, Brazil's midfielder Fernandinho took the lead and he made a diagonal pass across the court on the left side of the frontcourt. During this period, I don't know how many eyes I passed to keep up, but I can't keep up with the center of gravity.
The Wansea man, the football accurately arrived at the feet of the French old defender Sarnia at the right end of the stadium.
There was an old man from the family. Sania swung his legs and passed by, giving Aguero in the penalty area.
Akun and Boss Mei should be true love because he has also started to grow a big beard. He has started since the beginning of the season and now the second half of his face is in a gratifying momentum.
Aguero carried the ball sideways and back with his left foot, and after a small circle like a gyro, he threw two central defenders, Amart and Van der Horn, who were behind him, like two fools.
At a small angle, Fabianski barely shot all the people, Manchester City 1:0.
To be honest, not to mention the forward line, Manchester City's current midfielder Febird, Ding Ding, Gundogan, Silva, no matter how three or three matches, their strength and efficiency are not as good as those of Guardiola Habaibu, and the full-back is in the offensive and defensive ability.
It's not as good as the second master of Barcelona Alves and Coffee, Abidal.
In Guardiola's playing style of passing and cutting in a small range, it is common for players to insert the ball with the ball, but in this way of playing where everyone is inserted and responding, being beaten and counterattack is a headache.
For this reason, Guardiola has a "five-second counter-grabbing rule", that is, everyone counter-grabbing as soon as possible after conceding the ball, which is why Manchester City can obtain a lot of high-threatening frontcourt ball rights.
However, such an interception rule comes at the cost of disrupting the midfield position, so that the effectiveness of the midfield interception will also decrease. Once the interception fails, there is a risk of being beaten to counterattack immediately.
In order to solve this problem, Guardiola's style of moving the world has a very classic routine called full-back recruitment, that is, left and right full-backs move closer to the center circle and play the role of a pseudo-middle midfielder. This strengthens the midfield
While controlling, he also gave up the defense on the wing to some extent.
Therefore, in Guardiola's team, the full-back ability is extremely demanding.
However, now Manchester City's full-backs are first-class, but they are not necessarily suitable for Guardiola's tactical thinking. They often get in but can't let go, so that their jobs are often empty.
Today, Swansea is a team that has always been very good at launching attacks from the wings. It can even be said that they will not do anything except the wings. They crossed the corners, and the Swans played very well.
In the 13th minute, Routledge made a cross from the bottom from the right, Otamendi and Jack Coke competed for the top in the penalty area. He won and pushed the ball out of the penalty area. He couldn't stand the balance and fell to the ground.
Manchester City pressed out the entire back line and created an offside trap for the opponent, completely forgetting Otamendi who was still getting up from the ground at the end.
The midfield position was in chaos, and Sigurdson grabbed the landing point that was bounded out, and he took the ball back with his right foot. The other end of Otamendi got up and rushed up, so the one who caught the ball was caught.
Llorente is not offside.
Sanya had a chance, and he and Lorent had a chance to get the ball. But turning around and retreating was like stepping on a splash of shit, and for some reason it was a big split backwards.
Llorente followed the ball and turned around and volleyed.
Chapter completed!
