The last game at the end of the year has never been a good feng shui for Manchester City, but Guardiola still did not expect that the game against Crystal Palace would be so unlucky.
In the past four years, Manchester City has not won the final game at the end of the year, and it has been a draw, both at home and away. On the last day of last year, he lost to Liverpool 1:2 at Anfield.
This year, Manchester City, who has won 16 consecutive Premier League games, breaks this declining pace. After all, Crystal Palace is not a tough guy. They, along with Bournemouth, who had just defeated before, are teams currently hovering on the edge of the relegation zone.
Moreover, when the two sides met in the sixth round, Crystal Palace was scored a tragic 6:0 by Manchester City. Even if the away game was halved, it would be fine to have a New Year 3:0, right?
On the last day of 2017, it was drizzling in London, and the Sheikhiste Park Stadium was like a piece of unwiped frosted glass.
Guardiola carefully selected and sent out the starting lineup he thought was the most reasonable to deal with Crystal Palace.
Ederson and Derbych had turned the pages in the fight, and both apologized to the team in the locker room.
They took the initiative to apologize. Manchester City has no tradition. They will fight after they are fighting. No one apologized or no one wants to hear it.
The two of them made a public settlement in front of the camera yesterday, saying that they were all a misunderstanding. To be honest, millions of people who were holding stools and ready to eat melons were disappointed.
The reporter asked Zhuo Yang, and he kept talking lies as usual: There was no fight, I didn’t see or hear anyway. Anyone who wants to know can tell me.
As long as I am thick-skinned, I am the king of the world.
Ederson, Walker, Otamendi, Mangara, Danilo, Febird, Dintin, Gundoan, Jesus, Sane, B.
Guardiola spent two buckets of spit before he made Zhuo Yang agree to be a substitute in the second half.
"No one suspects that you will score goals one after another, and it will be no difficulty for you. But you are the king of football..."
"Talk well, don't scold people! You are the king of football, your whole family is the king of football."
"Shut up! You are the best in the world... You should complete some difficult things and give yourself some challenges."
"What's the meaning?"
"It's like playing games. Masters should not just focus on slaughtering newbie villages. They're going to fight hell-level dungeons. Are you right?"
"Fasting the farts are done."
"What's the ability to score a goal in ninety minutes? It's awesome to score a goal in half an hour."
"Pep, your provocation is pretty cheap."
"Just say it's useless."
It works! For the sake of ankles, Zhuo Yang agreed to go up and brush it for half an hour in the second half, and Lao Gua's statement of "difficulty copy" really interested him.
The first half schedule is the Premier League, Champions League, Club World Cup, and League Cup four-line rounds. Manchester City has now reached a period of physical adjustment. The uncontrollable risk of injury for players is increasing due to fatigue.
I dare not hurt! Guardiola can't afford to be injured.
Whatever you are afraid of is what you come.
There is no coward team in the Premier League that has been disarmed, and Crystal Palace is not the case. The old coach Hodgson is also a stubborn old man.
After the slump at the beginning of the season, Crystal Palace has won 3 wins, 5 draws and 1 loss in the last nine games, including 2:1 Chelsea, which has a bit of a crazy taste.
Huo Taigong did not hide anything from Guardiola. He came up with a big fight, and he fought with his own single-line strong troops, and his strong horses were strong and his weak Manchester City were defeated.
In the 10th minute of the first half, Jesus took the ball on the right side of the frontcourt. Andros Townsend, No. 10, Crystal Palace, came up quickly. Jesus was soft and his body was soft. He immediately changed the ball.
He threw away his Brazilian ancestors and widened the ball.
In the fight, Jesus forced his right leg to take to the ball, but he stepped on the ball and got on the cart, and he threw himself on the ground while playing circles. He was also a fierce horse.
Danilo hit Townsend, who had picked up a bargain and wanted to attack him, and Jesus buried his head in the grass and rubbed his legs hard.
I twisted my knees and sprayed for a long time before I got back on.
But after just five minutes, Jesus couldn't hold on anymore and could only wave to sign a substitution.
Zhuo Yang said let me get on, and Guardiola called Aguero.
Jesus was handing over with Akun with tears in his eyes, and after he came down, he was coaxed by Zhuo Yang for a long time.
"Brother Zhuo... it hurts, you should be careful too... You are old and you will be hemiplegic when you are not careful."
Zhuo Yang is used to it.
Jesus' slippery soles caused injuries, which has a lot to do with today's slippery rainy day. The game conditions are fair to both sides, and Crystal Palace also talked at home.
The main central defender in the sixth round, Baccary Sarco, who is 'No. 2 in the world', has faded out of the main lineup. Now he is partnering with captain Scott Dane with 29-year-old James Tomkins.
He will also use new players to transfer from Ajax.
Last season in Ajax, Madibor defender Westman was Reidwald's substitute. However, Reidwald played as a midfielder in this game.
Just two minutes after Jesus left the court due to injury, Ridwald took the ball and dribbled the ball in the midfield.
Ding Ding really didn't want to break him, he forced the ball into Ding Ding's arch.
For Crystal Palace, this goal loss position is very deadly, and De Bruyne's assault technique is Yaobaikaka.
Captain Dane forcibly blocked it from the side and collided with Ding Ding.
Ding Ding rolled around twice and got up. Dann held his legs and felt even more painful than Jesus just now. Then, he was replaced, and Huo Taigong changed into Martin Kelly with a sad face.
At this moment, Lao Gua and Huo Taigong found a common language. The two of them condemned the damn Christmas schedule side by side in the drizzle.
.
If you want to talk about how much field disadvantage is in front of Manchester City, which is the top 16th. In addition to the ball possession rate, both sides are similar in all data, and each injured one person.
Even making a fool of yourself is once.
Crystal Palace goalkeeper Hennessy's second goal goal kicked directly into Manchester City's backcourt, and forwards Benctor and Mangara started racing.
Ederson naturally had to attack, but the society was complicated when it was dark and slippery. The football was running a little faster on the water and grass, and the three of them met a little outside the penalty area line.
Ederson swung his feet out to clear the ball and kicked the football on his teammate Mangala. Mangala felt inexplicably rushed into the penalty area with the football. Next to him was Benteke who was unyielding.
The former Liverpool striker was a clever guy who shot the empty goal with one kick.
The grass said: Don’t get me wrong. Today’s slippery weather is not aimed at anyone, but everyone present is garbage.
Bentek failed and kicked on the inexplicable Mangala.
A second-rate guy dares to waste opportunities like this. As the best scorer in Manchester City's history, Aguero can't stand it anymore.
Compatriot Otamendi gave a straight pass from the back line. After receiving the ball in the midfield, Aguero passed several people in a circle, and then distributed it to Gundogan to run by himself.
Sane made a cross, Aguero was in the middle, but he gave the back point. If you really couldn't find an excuse, it was that the ball was too slippery.
Siouxa Mensa made a second offense, cleared the ball from the back post and kicked the ball into the middle.
Who can imagine that he would kick football here? Aguero couldn't imagine it. As a result, the best scorer in Manchester City's history was completely like being immobilized, watching the football float past his eyes in silence without moving.
Dare to move, it seems like it is a ghost.
Zhuo Yang covered his coat and squirted out the hot drink in his mouth.
Guardiola suddenly hugged her head and felt in pain, but she slipped her feet and looked straight back and slapped it on the ground. Fortunately, Arteta beside him was agile and held his waist and steadily.
Standard tango dance men and women in the upper and lower positions.
Chapter completed!
