Serie A AC Milan, Inter Milan, French Ligue 1 Nice, La Liga Espanyol and Granada, in the past two years, capital from China has entered the five major leagues and successfully acquired teams.
The Bundesliga does not allow foreign capital to acquire, so Chinese bosses have no choice. In August this year, the Premier League was finally compromised by Chinese capital. West Bromwich, nicknamed "Bloomers", was acquired by a consortium headed by Chinese businessman Lai Guochuan, becoming a sole proprietor.
A Chinese-funded team in the Premier League.
Some senior fans will mention Birmingham, so there is no argument here. In 2007, Yang Jiacheng, a wealthy businessman in China's fishing port, became the largest single shareholder of Birmingham Football Club and the boss of the team through the acquisition.
In fact, Birmingham was eventually implicated by Yang Jiacheng. In 2010, he had all his funds frozen due to money laundering. Birmingham could only rely on selling the main players to maintain his operations. Then he fell head-on to the English Championship and has not come back yet.
.Just this month, another Hong Kong businessman, Sun Kuhong, finally took over the shaky market in Birmingham.
West Bromwich is a team name and a place name. It is actually a small town around Birmingham, located in central England, just over 100 kilometers away from Manchester.
On October 29, the whole Manchester City team came to West Bromwich's Hawthorn Stadium, the 10th round of the Premier League, and the last game in October.
After entering October, Manchester City lost all five games, conceded 9 goals but failed to score. Talking about offensive ability is just a swearing game. One Champions League game, one League Cup game, and three league games, everyone is playing.
The league ranking has fallen from high to fifth with 18 points, and the 19th car in the 20th car in the 19th car, Everton and Southampton who have just defeated them are behind them.
From this point of view, those who lost were considered to be the strong team this season. There was no way, so I had to comfort myself like this, or call myself self-deprecating.
Today is the last battle for the whole October. If you lose again, October will become a black hole, and the black hole that cannot escape even light will be difficult. Hope will also be difficult.
West Bromwich ranked 13th in 9 rounds after 2 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses. If Manchester City misses at the Hawthorn Stadium, there will be no excuses.
Is Guardiola afraid? I guess he is not afraid because he is still testing the formation.
The three defenders did not change, and they played Stones, Otamendi and Kolarov today. But the configuration of the six midfielders is indeed the first time they play, Gundogan, Febird, Fernando, and Sterling.
Nolito is a left-right forward, while Silva is a midfielder.
Aguero is a single striker today, and this arrangement is more suitable for him. Although Akun cannot be said to be a pure shooter, his biggest role on the court is indeed to score goals. If you have to say that other things are basically hooligans.
Today, such a "monster" formation was forced out by the attack and attacking in the front in October.
Sometimes the data gives people an illusion, especially the strikers and defenders are prone to blame, but Guardiola's smartest famous coach can see clearly, but the biggest problem is that there are problems in the midfield operation.
Defense cannot impose pressure or blocking on the opponent, so that the latter side always faces the attack directly. Attack cannot form effective waves, and the forward can only fight and bump.
So today, whether it is a single striker or a six-mile midfielder, it is all about solving the sluggishness in the midfield operation. Guardiola's team has always played with the midfield.
Sabaletta and Sarnia had some minor injuries, and Delf, who was the one who presented No. 18 to Zhuo Yang. He is now a sick man from Manchester City and is not on the roster today. Ding Ding's minor injuries just happened to be.
Sitting on the bench today, captain Kompani also returned to the bench.
Another big shot also sat back on the bench, which was No. 18, which could blind human titanium alloy dog ​​eyes.
Zhuo Yang finally got the team doctor's permission to participate, so he was forced to put it on the list by Guardiola. It wasn't that he could do much, but the team had turned into carbon stained with ink since his heel injury.
Going to recuperate, he took away Manchester City's good luck.
In other words, Guardiola regards Zhuo Yang as the lucky dog ​​mascot, lucky cat.
According to a UK survey report, football has become the highest injury rate among all sports, surpassing basketball, gymnastics and tennis.
This is closely related to the rapid development of football. In the 1970s and 1980s, that is, in Pele's era, players averaged 6,000 meters in international competitions, which is even worse than some amateur competitions now.
Now that 10,000 meters has become the passing line, the intensity of the confrontation is incomparable, and the exploration of the limits of the body has reached the peak of human history. Therefore, it is not wrong to be a sentiment party, but you must always see the professional sports clearly.
It is right to develop rapidly.
The increase in strength will inevitably cause the player's lower limbs to bear more load. The consumption of physical energy and physical confrontation will greatly increase the chance of sports injuries, especially various muscle and soft tissue injuries.
Especially the five major leagues that represent the highest level of football, the stars are fighting against injuries, and injuries have become the most critical obstacle to imprisoning many superstars to get to the next level.
The report pointed out that 55% of professional players' trauma comes from the game, 45% comes from training, and the average number of days for players to be injured and missed is 21 days.
The intensive game has seriously compressed the team's courage to resume adjustment training. Now the training between the two games has basically become a coach's formation and running drill for players other than injuries.
Zhuo Yang's injury this time is his special nature. On the surface, it is because he was kicked to the same position by Raphael of Borussia Mönchengladbach and Fel of Swansea in two games, causing ankle ligament injury, but in essence it is still
His game feels a little slower than two years ago, and his stress self-protection awareness is still confused.
One mistake can lead to wisdom, and this statement is in line with his current situation. An injury actually helps him recover his feelings about the game in a shorter time.
Guardiola told him that if it was 3:0 today, I would let you go up and play for a while. It would be better than expecting you to do it, just don't hurt you anymore.
Zhuo Yang glanced at him: Why don’t you hope for something to do with me?
Manchester City has maintained a record of winning in the last nine matches with West Bromwich. The last time the Blue Moon lost to Bloomers in the Premier League dates back to 2008.
This time, Manchester City lost five consecutive losses, and Westbrook was much better. They just lost 3 draws and 1 loss and lost four games.
Senior Red Devils Manchester United's 'monarchy' referee Lee Mason whistled, the match between Manchester City, the shortest average height in the Premier League and West Bromwich, the tallest in England, started the game at the Hawthorn Stadium in the highest stadium in England
