It is said that cats have nine lives. Many people think that this legend comes from the "Buddhist Sutra·Prince Quotes", which says: There are nine lives for cats, including spiritual, quiet, righteous, awakening, light, essence, energy, and spirit.
In fact, this is very nonsense because there is no book called "The Buddhist Sutra", and the Chinese characters of the Buddhist sutra are difficult and obscure, and it is impossible for such plain words to exist at all.
In fact, this statement comes from ancient folk superstitions in the West. Legend has it that witches can use cats to borrow their lives to achieve the effect of immortality. Some places say that they can borrow nine times, such as in England and Spain, and the French-speaking area says that they can borrow seven times.
Second-rate.
Later, this legend came to China, which is not surprising, because domestic cats came to China along the Silk Road, not our indigenous species.
No matter the black cat and white cat, a good cat can have nine lives. But for the black cat Sunderland, this year is their sixth cat life, but it is already very lingering.
Why is Sunderland called the ‘Black Cat’? It’s related to their urban history.
Sunderland is located in northern England and the central part of the Great Britain Isle. It is a port city facing the sea and looking eastward towards the European continent. Earlier, there were the coal mines with the most abundant reserves on the island, which created the status of the industrial center in central Sunderland.
Because of the geographical environment, coal trade is entirely reliant on sea transportation. In the early years, young and middle-aged people in Sunderland basically made a living on the ship. In order to prevent rat attacks, cats were generally kept on the ship, so over time, cats became one of the city symbols of Sunderland.
, appeared in various paintings.
Why is it a black cat? Because black cats look more mysterious and powerful, and black colors are easier to express in paintings.
More than a hundred years ago, a group of middle school teachers set up the Sunderland Club, and they used the team logo of the Black Cat squatting on the football. So although the coal mine has long been hollowed out, there are not many people in the city now that are sailors, and the team is
The team badge also became two vulgar lions, but the Sunderland Club was still called the 'Black Cat'.
Five years ago, Sunderland began to relegate, and in the end, he relied on the advantage of less than one game in five seasons. The scenery this year is still the same, but it is even more sinister. After 26 rounds of battles, Sunderland firmly ranked last.
Even if you can't drive it away.
Seventy-three eighty-four, the sixth life of the black cat is also a hurdle.
David Moyes was tricked by Sunderland executives last summer.
After two seasons of Real Sociedad coaching journey, Moyes, who was confused, heard the call from Sunderland and was promised to sign a lot of money.
Moyes, 53, shouldn't have been so gullible. Sunderland really wants to spend money, so why should he walk a tightrope every year to relegate? But who told him not to have anything but football? He unknowingly got into Sunderland's thief
Boat.
It was not until the season started that Moyes suddenly realized that no one of the promised buyers had come. He had to rely on his own connections to attract old players such as Pinal, Anichebe, and Oviedo. So, the new season
Sunderland started with a 10-game winning streak. So far, 26 rounds have passed. Sunderland won 5 wins, 4 draws and 17 losses and won the deputy squad leader's throne to warm up.
How strong can you say that Sunderland can be compared to Ha Town, which ranks third in the Championship?
In the first round of the Premier League this season, Manchester City defeated Sunderland 2-1 at home. Zhuo Yang had not signed with Manchester City yet. Aguero's penalty kick in the first 4 minutes of the game and the Black Cats defender McNair's 4 minutes before the end of the game
The own goal was actually very lucky to win the game, and non-famous scorer Jermaine Defoe scored a goal in the middle.
Defoe, 35, has a very strange record. In the early winter window of 2015, he returned to Sunderland from the Toronto FC transfer in the major leagues, and then broke the goal in the game with Swansea. Therefore, all the 2014-15 season
He has broken all 20 teams.
I have no idea what the significance of this record is, and it is not that I have achieved a full goal feat within one season. Is it really strange to have a Premier League striker who has played professional football for more than ten years? I can only say that he has risen and fallen.
The team happened to be more interesting this year, not how powerful Defoe is.
Anyway, it is definitely not as good as Aguero. I believe Akun disdains statistics for these fake records.
Four days after the FA Cup match with Ha Town, in the 27th round of the Premier League, Manchester City came to Sunderland Light Stadium to challenge the deputy squad leader Black Cat. Guardiola continued to use rotation, given the team's large front line, but it is indeed
Not many reliable ones, Aguero and Zhuo Yang must have one person in charge, and Guardiola chose Akun.
Zhuo Yang said, since that's the case, I don't have to follow the team anymore. I will teach a few more classes to the students of Royal Beiyin. The employment situation of art students is serious, and I want to care more about my classmates in teaching.
In fact, he wanted to sneak into Germany to accompany his wife.
Guardiola could see at a glance what he wanted to do. Lao Gua's family was in Manchester City, and the full man didn't care about the hungry man's hunger. He cruelly put Zhuo Yang on the list and asked him to accompany Arteta on the bench.
Nonsense.
In fact, Guardiola was guilty of being like a psychopath in the league. Even when facing Sunderland, he was still cautious. Zhuo Yang sat next to him, which could provide him with a sense of security and was also a killer at all times.
.
As a result, Arteta almost got so annoyed by the talkative man. Guardiola was also purely worried. Aguero solved the problem on the court, and there was no trouble for Zhuo Yang to take action.
Sunderland is actually not weak on paper. They not only have Defoe, but also England's substitute national goalkeeper Pickford, but also several Manchester United players, including O'Shea, Gibson and Januzai, among which John 36 is
O'She is still Captain Sunderland, so he can be the Black Cat Sheriff and Moyes is the shoveler.
Zhuo Yang and Manchester United O'Shea are old acquaintances. They have called the board on the court in those years, and have drunk alcohol off the court, but they still have the face of Grandpa Mo.
Aguero broke the deadlock in the 42nd minute of the first half, which was his 14th goal in the Premier League this season and also broke the goal drought in six rounds of the league.
After scoring the goal, Akun specifically observed Zhuo Yang's expression, but found nothing unusual. He celebrated happily with everyone on the sidelines.
Zhuo Yang himself did not remember, but Akun helped him count, and he had scored 16 league goals. Akun felt that if he worked harder, he should be able to catch up or even overtake.
Regardless of the team's performance, Akun hopes to become the best scorer in the team this season, and hopes that Manchester City people will miss him after leaving in the summer.
When Sane received Silva's pass in the 59th minute, there was basically no suspense in the game. In the end, Manchester City won the victory 2:0 with a ball possession rate of up to 72%.
This stadium is called the Bright Stadium, but for Sunderland, this season is not bright. They lost this game and were already 6 points away from the relegation zone. If they want to save the Black Cat's sixth life, anyway,
With Zhuo Yang's eyes, if he still looks like this in the remaining 11 rounds, there is no hope at all.
Zhuo Yang did not talk casually on the bench. Although he annoyed Arteta, he was indeed talking about football. However, he did not realize that if he missed Sunderland in this game today, he would like to
The hope is very slim to break through the Black Cats goal.
Chapter completed!
