Since Bristol City has not played in the top league for more than 110 years, Manchester City rarely faces it in history. The last time that can be checked was also in the League Cup.
In August 2007, Manchester City defeated Bristol City 2-1 away in the second round of the League Cup. Mpunsa and Bianchi scored the goal. In the game, Sun Jihai started the right back and played the whole game.
Eleven years have passed, and the only players who participated in that game between the two sides are Bristol City's "Bag Tiger" wing forward Lee Johnson, who is now the team's head coach.
Johnson is very young, born in 1981 and the same age as Casillas. He has never played in the Premier League in his career, and he basically stayed in the 2, 3 and 4 leagues. He came to Bristol City, England at the age of 25, and was 30
Retired here at the age of 20.
Although he is young, Bristol City is already the third team Johnson coached after retirement. Guardiola has only coached three teams, and so is Uncle Slag.
Lao Gua's father is a bricklayer, and Uncle Zha's father is an amateur goalkeeper and beer seller. They are not filial to inherit their father's business without a son, but Lee Johnson is a coach who has a family background. His father Gary Johnson was once.
A well-known coach.
When Johnson, the Sr. was coaching the League Two, Johnson played football in Yoville, and Johnson, the Sr., coached Bristol City, Johnson, went to the Robins.
That League Cup with Manchester City was when Johnson and his son played together on the sidelines.
Compared with the elegant Eriksson on the sidelines, Lao Yue is a vegetable farmer. Xiao Yue on the left side of the field was abused by Sun Jihai on the right side of the field. Xiao Yue retired at the age of 30 because Lao Yue that year
Leaving Bristol City, he returned to the League One Joville Club to coach.
The greatest achievement in Old Joseon's coaching career was to bring Yoville from the League Two to the League One, and Bristol City from the League One to the League One.
Xiao Yue also made extraordinary moves. He coached the League One Oldham at the age of 31, becoming the youngest coach in the entire English football world, and defeated his father, Yoville in the league, which was a good story.
Now that Laoye has retired, Xiaoye is known as the "No. 1 Young Coach in the Championship". But if Xiaoye wants to surpass his father, he has to bring Bristol City into the Premier League.
But Xiaoyue doesn't think so. Times have changed. If the team wants to move up, they have to talk with money. In this in full swing of Jinyuan football era, talking about emotions is just a hooligan.
Bristol City does not have the hard power to advance to the Super League, it was not before, and now it is not. With the stinginess of boss Steve Lan Si, it is probably not going to happen in the future.
Lee Johnson is very smart. He knows that relying on escalating into the Super League to become a famous coach is as difficult as ever, but beating the powerful in the Cup is a shortcut.
Therefore, compared to the English Championship, Xiao Yue attaches more importance to the League Cup. The last three rounds of the English Championship have lost three consecutive times and the three Premier League teams including Manchester United in the League Cup are a reflection of Xiao Yue's IQ.
Given the popularity of Manchester City and Zhuo Yang, for coach Xiaoye, this semi-final is undoubtedly the most important battle in his coaching career.
.
Anthony Taylor sounded the opening whistle, and the Robins had a bright look in the 4-5-1 Iron Barrel Array.
Bristol City is a young player. Not to mention starting, the team has no players over 30 years old except for substitute goalkeeper Luke Steele.
The young robins, like their coach, are all unknown but full of fighting spirit.
In the 5th minute, Sane made a corner kick by the side. After the tactics were drawn, Teacher Jing hung the penalty area in a diagonal manner.
Zhuo Yang ran out of the position at the back post. As long as the goalkeeper dared to leak, he would definitely get it in.
Nothing missed. Frank Fielding stretched hard in the air, plucked a little football with one palm, allowing it to cross the height above Zhuo Yang's head and then went out of the bottom line.
Zhuo Yang is really annoyed by the goalkeepers in these small teams. All of them are like injecting chicken blood when they play against strong teams.
In the 7th minute, Derbych cooperated with Zhuo Yang in the penalty area. The two of them pushed the football around like a billiards soft pole in a group of young and strong men.
It was useless to walk in the garden, and Zhuo Yang was still surrounded by four or five people.
Bristol City doesn't seem to be afraid that Manchester City will attack the penalty area. Anyway, they will always have a way to turn this area into a subway platform for morning rush hour.
Zhuo Yang had no choice but to use these young people with all their pores to fight.
In the 15th minute, Zhuo Yang used a Lingbo microstep and passed Bailey Wright, Arden Flint, Marlon Parker, Josh Brown Hill, and then in the small angle, the back corner was covered in the corner.
.
It's really so fairy that even the four people who were passed by him wanted to applaud on the spot.
This operation was only a pointy finger from goalkeeper Fielding to score at the Puskas Award level.
Bristol City is not a team that only gets beaten but doesn't fight back. 3:2 Watford, 2:0 Stoke City, 4:2 Crystal Palace, 2:1 Manchester United, they can go in four ninety minutes.
In the game, he defeated four Premier League teams with a clear and neat achievement in offense.
Although Johnson, a young man, never followed the outdated tradition of old-school British coaching. Like all young people in other industries, he is very good at learning and very keen on trends.
Bristol City is 1.9 meters behind the backcourt. There is no way, most of the English Championship opponents still let the ball fly around in the air. It is not enough not to stock up on some big men.
The front court was 1.7 meters tall, and the monkey with hair faded was as quick as a little.
Johnson Jr. abandoned the traditional routine of flying together with two wings with a few balls. The middle attack and the middle counterattack are what Bristol City emphasizes.
It’s not that there is no side lane, but that the middle lane is the core to launch tactics, which is also a feature of trendy football.
In the 17th minute, Bristol City had its first effective counterattack. Bobby Reed dribbled the ball from the right and was smashed out of the sideline by Derbych and Zinchenko.
Johnson Jr.'s mid-lane attack tactic has become the fresh air of the English Championship. Last season, the team's main striker, Tammy Abraham, who was loaned to Chelsea, is the biggest beneficiary of this tactic.
19-year-old Abraham scored 23 goals last season and ranked third in the Championship Scorer List. This season, Chelsea felt that the Championship was buried and asked him to go to Swansea in the Premier League.
Bobby Reed, a local youth training producer this season, took over Abraham's gun. He also ranked among the top scorer list and was also a beneficiary of Xiaoyou's tactics.
However, whether it is Abraham or Reed, Manchester City will definitely not look down on it. There are so many first-class forwards that Guardiola can keep the trident different for a month. There are Bristol City in the forward line, and Manchester City has them all.
But there are also things that Manchester City does not have, and there are no Icelandic full-back Magnussen Manchester City in Bristol City.
Hodor Magnusson is an Iceland international and the main player of the Icefootball team. Juventus still owns half of his ownership.
Several mid- and lower-level Premier League teams and Russian Premier League have paid attention to Magnusen, but it may not be possible to say how outstanding he is, otherwise how could he stay in the secondary league at the age of 25?
But Magnusson has a unique skill - throwing grenades on the sidelines. Not only does it throw far away, it is still accurate.
Everyone in Manchester City is as awesome as if they are holding a cockscomb on their heads, but no one has the same tricks as Magnusson.
The football turned around in his hand, braked suddenly after running. Before he could see how Magnusson used force, the football was thrown from the left line into the right side of the penalty area.
There is nothing to do about this. They are born with divine power. Even if Zhuo Yanglai is dislocated, he will not be able to do so.
The basketball point guard kicked so far, so accurate.
He threw it directly on Flint's head in 197, and then headed the ball to the left.
All the routines were practiced. Marlon Parker swung his big foot and pulled it in the air.
How could our Stones be absent in this situation? The Stone God descended to earth and appeared on the shooting line in time, only two meters away from Parker.
‘Tough ~’
The football is wedging on Stones' face.
He gritted his teeth and did not fall down, but his body swayed again.
Two minutes later...
"Lao Zhuo, I may have a concussion..."
"The uneasy baguette and Dareba need to be thrown away. Are they kitchen waste or recyclable garbage?"
“…it’s construction waste.”
