John Stones of 22 is the person Guardiola asked Manchester City club to buy it anyway this summer.
Three years ago, Stones transferred to Everton from Barnsley, with a net worth of only 3 million, but only two years later. Last summer, Chelsea finally guaranteed Everton the price to be as high as 40 million, but Everton did not agree.
.
By this year, Manchester City's psychological price is also 40 million, but Everton, who has changed to a wealthy boss, no longer makes a living by selling people. They value talents more, and Stones has become Everton's non-sale product.
But in the end, the deal was 48 million pounds, Guardiola got what he wanted, and Stones, as the second highest-priced defender in the history of the Premier League, was also highly expected by Manchester City people.
I won't talk about the game that has passed before. In the 9th round of the 2016-17 Premier League season, Manchester City played against the Saints Southampton at home. In the 27th minute of the first half, Stones received a return pass from Feynn in front of the back defense penalty area.
, first twisted his head and looked at his teammate Kompany on the inside, and then looked at Gundogan who was interspersed with the connection in front.
So Kompany took the position forward.
But Stones passed the football back to Kompany at the original position.
This behavior is similar to frame-up, which is also equivalent to surrendering to the enemy.
The alert Southampton forward Nathan Redmond and Kompany formed a perfect offside attack with a perfect misconduct, and received a 'makeup pass' from Stones behind him, and then easily passed the hasty Bravo.
, push the ball into the empty goal. Stones and Kompany chased and shoveled into the net like double swallows in the forest, but failed to stop the ball from being lost.
0:1, under Stones' "betrayal", Manchester City fell behind so easily at home.
The infatuated Guardiola continued to test his three-center-back vision in this game. Captain Kompany started for the first time in the season, partnered with Stones and Kolarov, and Aguero also returned to the starting lineup in the front.
0:4 The third day after being beaten by Barcelona, ​​Manchester City said no to the losing streak with the most theoretically powerful lineup. Of course, Zhuo Yang is still recovering from his injuries. His heels no longer hurt, and he will not hurt even if he stomps hard.
But the team doctor still did not give a license to participate, so he was not in the 'strongest formation'.
But Stones, who was regarded as the core of Manchester City's defense, made a sad return mistake, which made the team fall behind for the fifth consecutive game.
Perhaps Stones is still young, and at the age of 22, he is allowed to make mistakes, and he never lacks the competitive spirit of making up for his merits.
Four minutes after conceding the ball, Southampton Austin made a foul on defense, and Manchester City received a free kick near the sideline in the frontcourt.
Ding Ding took the penalty and passed the ball in front of the goal. Stones scored a low shot from the back post. Before he could celebrate the complete release, Clattenberg's whistle rang and the goal was invalid.
Judging from the slow-motion replay, after Dingtin's free kick left his foot, Aguero was in the offside position at the front point and Stones at the back point did not go offside, but Clattenberg's penalty was that Aguero was interfering in the offside position.
Goalkeeper. He is the grandfather on the court, and the grandfather has the final say.
Southampton's Dutch centre-back Velgir Vandyk is 25 years old and he is in his maturity.
Van Dijk is the defensive legacy left by former Southampton head coach Koeman. When he went to Everton this summer, Koeman wanted to take Van Dijk away, but Southampton did not give him this face.
The one who took over Koeman was the famous French coach Claude Pierre, who led Lille to rise to become the top three in the French Ligue 1. Madibor, who fought with Zhuo Yang, fought fiercely in the League Cup and snatched 14 from Uncle Scrap.
The Pierre of Hazard, who is a year old.
Traditional French coaches attach great importance to defense, Pierre is no exception, and Van Dyke has become the Saints' defensive core here.
It is said that Van Dijk was the "Five Dynasties of China". His Five Dynasties was Chen Huoxiu (chin    fo    sieeuw), a Hakka man who went from Guangdong to Suriname to make a living. The three siblings of Van Dijk, apart from him, the other two are still surnamed 'fo'
sieeuw'.
Before the end of the first half, Ding Ding, who was 1.8 meters tall, was almost broken by Van Dijk of 1.94 meters tall, and limped down. At the beginning of the second half, Guardiola replaced him with Isinacho.
.
Just like the defense line, Guardiola is also constantly looking for the best combination on the offensive trident, which is actually just trying and wrong.
Stones made a mistake in the first half, causing Manchester City to fall behind at home, but after that, the defense line and the team's overall defense performed very well, and there was no chance to give the opponent a threat to Bravo.
However, Manchester City's offensive end was not at all good performance when facing Van Dijk, Portugal's champion central defender Jose Wonte this summer, and Aurio Romeu, a midfielder from Barcelona, ​​was not at the same level.
The simple and crude high-level oppression and cutting routine during ten consecutive victories has been seen through by an old fox coach like Pierre. Pierre is very good at organizing destructive defense in the backcourt, and Manchester City's new offensive routine has not yet been combined.
After completion, the players were generally in a sluggish state, so Manchester City won a long-term victory in the city court.
Apart from Van Dyke and Wonter, today the Saints goalkeeper, England's substitute goalkeeper, also performed very well, and it was enough to use it to draw Joe Hart's face.
In the 55th minute, David Silva launched a long diagonal pass in the backcourt. Sane got the ball and broke through to the penalty area to cross the cross from the left side in the middle. Isinacho was from behind in front of Van Dijk and at the front point.
Swivel, the football hit the crossbar and bounced back and hit the post.
This is the closest attack that Manchester City scored in the entire game except for Stones' ineffective goal in the first half.
0:1, Guardiola's team finally reaped another game at home where they won the data but lost the score. After 6 consecutive wins in the Premier League, they lost three consecutive losses. Entering the 4 games after October, Manchester City was completely black.
Conceded 8 goals and failed to score.
At the post-match press conference, the reporters waited for Guardiola for almost an hour before he walked into the venue with a peaceful expression.
The reporter asked him what he did and what he said to the players in the locker room?
"We just drank a little coke and red wine together," Guardiola said.
In fact, Lao Gua closed the door and got angry in the locker room, venting his garbage for forty minutes, and all the players present were sprayed with him.
Zhuo Yang, who came down from the stands, witnessed this scene with his own eyes. To be honest, he had never seen Pep get so angry. He often lost his temper when he was in Barcelona, ​​but he had never been so irritable.
45 years old, is it still early to menopause?
Not to mention the people on the bench, even Zhuo Yang was not spared. Guardiola criticized him for running around after the Achilles tendon injury, but he had not fully recovered after a month, and was extremely irresponsible to himself.
Zhuo Yang honestly accepted the criticism and made simple self-criticism.
He is like this. Even if Guardiola is spitting, no one dares to be dissatisfied with his face. They are all trembling under the power of Lao Guardiola.
The reporter asked Zhuo Yang: What exactly Guardiola is doing in the locker room?
