Manchester City returned to Europe from the United States and did not return directly to Manchester, but went to Iceland first. The team met in Reykjavik and held a training camp.
Iceland in August is a season of immortality. When I come to Iceland, I have to mention the magical rise of Iceland football. How did this small country with a population of 300,000 eliminate England in the European Championship and enter the quarterfinals?
And how did they top Croatia, Ukraine and Turkey in the same group in the 2018 World Cup European Preliminary? What can we do?
Although Icelandic football was stronger than Liechtenstein, Andorra, Faroe Islands, and San Marino in those years, it was also limited in strength and still belonged to the nature of self-entertainment and peace of mind. Icelanders are rich
Now, at that time they were one of the richest countries in the world, and football was a pastime after being filled and warm.
But such a paradise-like football was defeated by a game thirteen years ago.
In 2004, Iceland League champion Hafnafyodu participated in the League Cup and met the fierce but ignorant Bundesliga new Bundesliga Army Madiborg in the first round.
It's okay to say that the first round is a decent loss at home, but the second round is a visit to the Hannover Victor Stadium, and the score of 15:0 directly knocked the Icelanders back to the ancient times.
15:0 set a record of score difference between the three major European Cups in a single game. Zhuo Yang scored nine goals alone and also scored a record of individual goals in a single game in three major cups. Two records are still standing today. Madibor was the League Cup champion that year, and
Still won the reunion.
You can lose, but you can't lose so shamelessly. Icelandic football did not cry. They remembered this day with red eyes.
That year was the richest era of Iceland with national finance. The country and the people had countless spare money. The flowers of football depended on the land, so Iceland began a large-scale construction and built dozens of indoor football fields across the country to make this happen.
A sport that originally existed only in summer became full-time.
Don't be confused by the 300,000 Iceland population. They should be regarded as part of the entire Europe, especially Nordic. Excellent physical fitness, financial investment at all costs, and strive to recruit players with Icelandic origins. Soon Icelandic football moved from semi-amateur to
Complete career.
Rich Icelanders only do one thing in those years - playing football. Ten years later, 6.8% of the country's population is registered players. 300,000 people, excluding half of women, and then the elderly and children, that is, almost all
Adult men who are suitable for age and are suitable for sports are playing football.
It's so enthusiastic that it's hard to play football well.
To this day, almost all the players of the Iceland national team play in the professional leagues of the United Kingdom, Norway, Sweden and Denmark. Don't take the words seriously that the main goalkeeper is the director and the head coach is the dentist. It's just versatile. Zhuo Yang is still
What about the piano professor? Can you say he is an amateur player?
Now, the Viking War Cry resounds over Europe, and the happy Icelanders have long forgotten their past depression, and Zhuo Yang has no idea that he has done such a big thing.
There is another deeper reason for the rise of Iceland football - from the people to the government, everyone needs to use an image method to toughen the debt coercion of European powers.
To put it bluntly, it is to show your righteous spirit of a deadbeat.
The whole Iceland plays finance, but in fact, it is their first movement. But in 2008, the global financial crisis hit, and these speculators played, Iceland went bankrupt from the country to the people.
After becoming the only bankrupt country in the world, every Icelander owed an average of debts that the bank is equivalent to the total income of the family for seven or eight years.
The great thing is coming, Icelanders held a referendum, and 99.9% of the people agreed not to repay the money to the bank. Do you bite me?
The biggest creditor, Britain, was so angry that he almost sent warships to destroy them. The elegant and luxurious old lady in Buckingham Palace overturned the dinner table.
I will tell you the words "Contract Spirit and gentlemanly" since they were invented, they were just for others to listen to.
The island of ice and fire was first discovered by Viking pirates, and the pirates first settled here. Their descendants robbed them without explicitly, but they could be detained with them, which belongs to the bloodline inheritance.
Legend has it that 900 years ago, the famous female pirate "Black Anne" who ran around the North Sea placed her fleet's nest in Iceland, and her treasures that were as rich as a country were buried somewhere in Iceland, but people have searched for it for 900 years but have not found it.
Legend has it that Hei Anne's husband is an unknown duke in the continental region.
Zhuo Yang doesn't know Hei Annie, and he has never heard of it.
.
Manchester City came to Reykjavik, not only for training, but also for a warm-up match with the "Harm Gang" West Ham United.
Gundogan, who did not follow the team to practice in North America, also came here to meet with the team, and there were new players, left defender Bonyaman Mendy also met with new teammates.
.
Monaco will definitely become the largest player supermarket this summer. The transfer window has only opened halfway, and the Ligue 1 champion has sold half of the main lineup. Monaco's four major transfers sold a total of 340 million yuan, and Mbappe went to Paris.
Bakayoko went to Chelsea, while B Se and Mendy were harvested by Manchester City.
£52 million, equivalent to 57.5 million euros, made the 23-year-old Mendy become the most precious defender in football. A year ago, Monaco spent only 12 million euros to buy him from Marseille, which was a sum.
Good business.
Mendy was the best left-back in Ligue 1 last season, and his performance is indeed worthy of such an increase. Mbappe, who has not entered the best team of the season, has sold 180 million yuan, let alone Mendy.
But what Manchester City wants is not the best left back, but the best left back that meets Guardiola's tactical requirements. So if Mendy can be worth so much money at Manchester City, we need to see again.
But today I can't see it anymore. Mendy came to gather with a small injury. She could only watch from afar and not play with it. He couldn't kick it.
Zhuo Yang can't play either. It's not that he can't play, but because five days later, it will be the European Super Cup where Manchester City competes for double-Manchesters. Manchester City will practice the lineup and tactics for that game. But Zhuo Yang has gained Ronaldo's feet in the Champions League final.
Neck, his red card was suspended for two games and he couldn't play in the Super Cup, so he didn't have much to do with today's preview.
When he set out from the United States and returned, Guardiola was always worried that Zhuo Yang would use this excuse to ask him to leave the organization and return to Manchester City alone. He would only know where he went after he got the order.
So Lao Gua has been thinking about the reasons for rejection, which must be soft and hard, and moral kidnapping must be even more unsatisfied. Mendy, who is not very good at legs and feet, must come to meet up, just one trick to prepare for the reason of "everyone is neatly tidy".
It's blocking Zhuo Yang's mouth.
Unexpectedly, Zhuo Yangjue did not mention the matter of leaving the group, but instead came to Iceland happily. Things happened abnormally, either there was a fraud or a monster. At first, Lao Gua thought Koko was coming, and His Royal Highness came to Reykya
Not defeated, however.
