Chapter 61 Stones Wheel Alignment
Who is Manchester City's attendance king in the new season?
Zhuoyang. So far, he has only missed two games. He was suspended from the European Super Cup against Manchester United and the first round of the Champions League group stage against Madiburg due to a red card shortly after the start of the season.
And Zhuoyang is Manchester City's third-ranked veteran. Excluding substitute goalkeeper Bravo, who is about to turn 35, Feiniao is three months older than him.
It's not that Guardiola is unkind and caught the big mule and pulled it hard. It's really Zhuo Yang's various physical indicators in the new season. There is nothing to say. This thing is about science.
But Guardiola is still frightened. Liverpool's Detu is a well-known tough guy in football. However, because he was used too hard by the national team and the club last year, he has to take a few games off from time to time this season. This has become a
One of the most important reasons for Liverpool's minor decline in the league.
Football has the rules of football. If you force players with good indicators to rest, it may not be a good thing. Interrupting the state is only one aspect, and the coherent rhythm of the game is lost. It is like the two heavens of ice and fire, which is more likely to cause injuries.
sick.
How to use big mules is still a scientific question.
In the second game of the New Year, which was both critical and not very critical, Lao Gua scientifically cultivated Zhuo and let the big mule sit on the bench.
It's not critical, because this is a 1/32 match in the top 64 of the FA Cup, and it is also the first round of Manchester City's FA Cup this season. Who among the serious teams takes this stage as a big deal.
The key is because Manchester City was drawn to Burnley, who is also in the Premier League.
Think about it, there are a total of 64 teams, covering six levels, and the 20 princes of the Premier League only account for less than one-third of them. Manchester City and Burnley can be drawn together. I have to say it is fate.
This is a Burnley team that is only ranked seventh under the big6 after 22 rounds of the Premier League this season. How about fun?
Of course, Burnley is even more unlucky than Manchester City. Who did they provoke?
There are also Chelsea and Leicester City, they also want to curse.
For Manchester City, which has invested a lot of money and wants to do big things, let alone Burnley, even Royal Burnley or Burnley must be annihilated. This is a necessary step to become a giant.
Four days ago, the 22nd round of the Premier League match against Watford was the opening match of the New Year, and the final score was 4:1.
Zhuo Yang was replaced by the B seat in the 68th minute after the goal. Hornet forward Andre Gray grabbed a point in front of the goal in the 82nd minute to get a point. Except for Mangala, who came on as a substitute, the others didn't matter.
At this point, Manchester City has won 18 consecutive league games, only one short of the record of 19 consecutive wins in a single season in the five major leagues set by Lao Gua at Bayern.
Zhuo Yang completed 20 consecutive hits, only one step away from Boss Mei’s ‘21 consecutive hits’.
Chelsea tied, and Manchester United, which defeated Leicester City 2-0, regained second place, but the gap between them and their neighbors with two games to play is 11 points.
.
The outcome of the FA Cup is determined by one game. If you lose, you turn around and leave. It doesn't matter anymore during the season.
Last season, Manchester City went all the way in the FA Cup and reached the semi-finals where they were kicked out by Arsenal. Speaking of which, Manchester City had very bad luck last season. Starting from the top 64, they were drawn to West Ham United in the Premier League, and then Crystal Palace in the top 32 of the Premier League.
The strong British crowned the town of Ha, and there was no one who was good at it.
I hope Manchester City can have better luck this year and don't let Burnley be just the beginning.
First, you have to kill Burnley, the Red Wine Legion.
The first game last year was against Burnley in the 20th round of the Premier League last season. It was Zhuoyang's first start since his comeback. On that day, wearing the Manchester City armband, he led the team to a 6-0 defeat with a hat trick.
opponent.
It's no big deal, last season Burnley was just a newly promoted team, but this season it has transformed into a strong team competing for European spots.
Mendy, Kompany, Jesus, Tintin, Silva, and Foden are still out due to injuries or other reasons, but the highly anticipated Stones finally returned from injury. Guardiola's mind
Many Chinese idioms emerged, such as providing help in times of need and bringing tears to my eyes.
In fact, Manchester City has scored 74 and conceded 13 in the 20 rounds of Premier League games that have taken place, which are the most and the least. However, Lao Gua still can't help missing Stones, even if he was the defensive line last season.
Pit King.
Bravo, Danilo, Horta, Stones, Zinchenko, Gundogan, Debich, seat b, Sane, Aguero (c), Sterling. Except for Zhuoyang, there is no starting lineup. In fact,
No one dares to say that this is Manchester City's substitute lineup.
Sean Dyche, the coach of 'Royal Saint-Germain', did not dare to say. He said at the pre-match press conference: "I just received a call from my wife, and she asked me why I didn't reply to the message. I told her: Oh my God,
Honey, I'm about to face the most powerful team in the world, Manchester City, and my fingers are trembling."
"My wife said: You are dead." Dyche said: "I don't know if she meant at the City Stadium or after going home, but I love her and my wife is happy so I am happy."
Dyche is known as the ‘coaching joker’ or ‘Ginger Mourinho’.
.
Stones resumed training after New Year's Day, so Guardiola can't say he can't wait.
After the bid for Van Dijk failed, it was rumored that the target was Barcelona's Umtiti and Manchester City's spare tire Chiellini. Because of Stones' comeback, there was some calmness.
After the start of the game, everything was normal. Manchester City formed a siege from time to time, and Burnley stole the opportunity to counterattack.
In the 21st minute, City Stadium Blue Moon fans stood up and applauded to give moral encouragement to No. 21 David Silva, who was absent to take care of his family.
But it obviously didn't inspire the players on the field.
Old goalkeeper and captain Tom Heaton became ill after suffering a shoulder injury at the beginning of the season. 26-year-old Nick Pope unexpectedly became Burnley's main goalkeeper.
This guy was coach Dyche’s first Premier League signing after Burnley was promoted last year. He comes from Charlton, which was demoted to League One. Before Charlton, Pope was the second-choice player for the low-level amateur team Bury County.
The goalkeeper is also a very dedicated milkman.
Obviously, Pop has never forgotten the art of delivering milk.
In the 25th minute, Pope kicked a goal kick with a hand throw. After crossing half the court, Welsh forward Sam Woakes headed the ball over.
Popper's milk delivery is very precise, but Walkers' delivery is not as good. It's a little bigger, and the landing point is the energetic Stones.
Center forward Ashley Barnes jumped up from a distance to scare Stones. Unexpectedly, the guy actually missed a kick, and the clearance ball turned into a pass behind him.
Sikengsi reveals his true form.
The 28-year-old Barnes was not polite. He went straight into the penalty area and then slapped Ederson under the arm. Manchester City 0:1.
Zhuoyang looked at Guardiola on the bench, and he was thinking in his heart: Why don't you buy a central defender quickly?
Stones is the Sterling of the defense, and happiness is always online, but only one can always be online for his off-the-ball movement and his skills with the ball.
Chapter completed!
