Last season, the yellow card king in Manchester City's Premier League team was Otamendi, who had a total of 9 yellow robes. West Brom was 30-year-old midfielder Claudio Jacob, who also had 9 pictures. They were both Argentina.
people.
However, in the outside world's impression, Jacob is more vicious than Otamendi. He has a bad reputation and has more malicious fouls.
What’s amazing is that among the nine yellow cards last season, Jacob took five in the first nine rounds. In other words, he only got four in the next 29 rounds. To be honest, it’s not too many.
Kob is West Brom's main defensive midfielder, and this is what he does.
He did the dirty work of strangling his opponent's core midfield. Today, Manchester City was in charge of the midfield. Gundogan, who had been injured for a while.
In the 62nd minute, before Zhuo Yang's butt sat firmly on the bench, Jacob then snatched the scissors behind him and cut Gundogan to the ground. The German man immediately rolled up with his legs in his arms, howling
Like slaughtering a pig.
Guardiola and Zhuo Yang both looked at Gundogan nervously. He had recovered from a serious injury. From December last year to the new season, he had been lying for nine months.
Manchester City's frontcourt Trident has five major players, and the midfield also has an iron triangle, and the staff is also reasonable and sufficient staff. Feinniao, Dingding, Daxi, Derbych, B-Shi, Gundogan, the first four players are not used.
It is said that the B-seater is still adapting and Gundogan is recovering, but there is no doubt about their strength, and Manchester City's midfielder is still prosperous as the front end.
The six people have different characteristics and functions and complement each other. The combination of three and three is enough to ensure the battles on all fronts of Manchester City this season. Manchester City is a team that needs to do big things, and no six midfielders are missing.
Once Gundogan is injured again for a long time, Manchester City's perfect balance in the midfield and frontcourt will be hit with a gap, and its power is still the same, but I just don't know when I will be tripped.
The fate is tragic and obsessed with it. The 27-year-old Gundoan is in his prime in his career, but he has too many injuries. He has basically played for half a year and rested for half a year. According to statistics, he may play in 391 official games in his career.
Among them, Gundogan has missed 172 of them due to injury, accounting for 44% of the total number of games.
Brother, you shouldn't be called Gundoan, just call him Sandoan instead.
Guardiola quickly replaced Gundogan with Kyle Walker and asked the team doctor to do the examination first. On the court, the referee Mike Jones just gave Jacob a yellow card. Although the action was fierce, he always hit the ball first.
This is within the loose penalty range of English football.
West Brom is the team with the highest average height in the Premier League, and it still retains its killer weapon of long passes and rushing in today's technical state. Although Manchester City's average height has increased slightly compared to last season, it still belongs to the latter few.
Even if Manchester City are two meters and five, they are not a team in the air.
Taking advantage of Gundogan's injury, West Brom began a drastic attack. On the other hand, Manchester City, which was hit by the injury of his teammates, was unable to adapt to the sudden changes and retreated step by step on the court.
Claudio Jacob, 30, has been to West Brom since leaving Argentina. He has been in his sixth season so far, and is quite a veteran. If it is in the novel, a villain like him should be punished and was a certain Manchester City man.
The indignant ball man was scrapped on the spot.
However, it is not, football can be novels, but it is not the same as novels.
The old coach Tony Priss took the opportunity to replace Salomon Longdong and Matt Phillips to strengthen the attack. In the 70th minute, Longdong's header was pushed out of the crossbar by Bravo, and West Brom got a corner kick.
In the last second of the transfer window, left defender Gibbs, who joined Arsenal with a buzzer of 7 million pounds, took a corner kick. Manchester City's front point Mangala was not staring at the man, but Jacob volleyed and broke the goal.
1:2.
In this way, West Brom has a greater morale, and various aerial bombings flew to Manchester City's penalty area like no money, and various physical confrontations have made their opponents feel at home. There are no weak teams in the Premier League, and West Brom is not.
Although it is still ahead in the score, Manchester City, which is mostly young players, has lost steadily on the scene. If this trend continues, it will be difficult to maintain the victory. It is likely that West Brom equalizer will be dragged into overtime, or even directly at 90.
It is not impossible to turn the tables within minutes.
The League Cup is a magical place, and all teams are here to rush.
.
Zhuo Yang's nose was almost pissed off the court. Is there no one to bully Manchester City?
But being angry is useless. Now he can neither rush up to teach Jacob a lesson nor go back on the court. West Brom just saved this momentum. Premier League teams have some tricks.
Gundoan's knee no longer hurts much. The team doctor said that the problem should not be big. The high probability of rolling all over the ground was a psychological factor. Once he was bitten by a snake, Gundoan was bitten by a snake every year, let alone seeing the well.
When the rope saw the pulley, his cheeks were trembling.
After asking about his well-being, Zhuo Yang left Gundogan and walked to the sidelines, playing side by side with Guardiola.
"Zhuo Jue, give me some advice, how should I adjust it?"
"Ah, no one can handle this, a bunch of things that deserve to be scolded." Zhuo Yang asked Lao Gua: "Do you scold or me?"
"Oh, fuck, am I like a coach who loves to scold people? I can't even speak swear words, I never talk with Male Gobi, Svener, do you understand?" Guardiola's face was as thick as the walls of Xi'an.
The southwest corner. "You go and scold me, your personality is very suitable."
"The more I see you, the more I need to beat you..." Zhuo Yang rolled his eyes and then leaned back to the sideline.
They were all far away, only Leroy Sane happened to run forward slowly from this side, passing by Zhuo Yang. That's him.
"Leroy!" He shouted fiercely, and Sane was so shocked that he quickly stopped and looked over.
Eyebrows stood up, and Zhuo Yang's nostrils were facing the sky. "I'll give you five minutes. You can't score a goal, I'll kill you today!"
Guardiola: "…"
Sane was in a mess in an instant, and he had no idea where he was wrong. But looking at Zhuo Yang's expression, it was definitely not like a joke. This was a demon king who turned against him faster than taking off his pants.
Sane: "I..."
"What do I do? Get out of here, five minutes, there are four minutes and 30 seconds left. Don't think I'm talking and playing. Get out of here!"
Sane rushed to the frontcourt like his butt was on fire, and shouted to his teammates in anger: "Passing the ball, pass it to me, otherwise Lao Zhuo will kill me."
Derbych smiled secretly in his heart, but he was serious and ignorant: "Then you have to hurry up, Boss Zhuo is serious. He has beaten Pig and Scar in Madibor because of this. I heard that he has beaten Ka in Milan.
Card, at Barcelona Messi…”
Sane couldn't listen anymore. "Hurry, pass the ball to me..."
Guardiola applauded: "Zhuo Jue is mighty, I know you have a way."
"Go! Go! Go……"
The enthusiastic teammates put in a collective effort. In the 84th minute, Walker's tomahawk-style flying shovel made Jacob stumble. Derbych took the opportunity to intercept the ball in the midfield and then turned around and pushed forward.
B-seat attacked a few steps and then diagonally split into the left side. Sane took the ball at the corner of the penalty area and cut inside. He first wiped Craig Dawson, then changed his direction and broke into the penalty area. He suddenly dodged to the right and Jonathan Evan
Sidou shot at the far corner.
The football drew an arc and walked around Foster's fingertips and suddenly entered the net.
