Chapter 65 The biggest upset in the FA Cup
Which one will come first, tomorrow or accident?
Manchester City answered: Come together.
This accident is called Wigan Athletics.
In fact, after returning from Basel's big victory, Manchester City first received good news. Sane and David Silva returned from injury and were alive.
In addition to the former return of Kompany, Stones, Foden and Delf, Manchester City's once mighty wounded barracks, now there are only two inferior people Mendy and Jesus.
The generals returned one after another, and all fronts advanced together, making five balls a standard match if they were not careful. Manchester in the late spring cold, the blue moon was proud of the spring breeze.
If you keep in spring and freeze in autumn, it is easy to catch a cold if you are too burned. The spring breeze is too strong and will blow people away.
Five days after a away victory over Basel, Manchester City headed to the DW Stadium 30 kilometers away, facing a 1/8 opponent in the 2017-18 FA Cup, Wigan Athletics from the League One.
Wigan is also a Manchester team, located in Wigan, Greater Manchester. In China, this is the relationship between prefecture-level cities and subordinate counties.
The dw stadium is the abbreviation of the name of Dave Huilan, the owner of Wigan Athletics, which shows that he is also a very narcissistic person.
Wigan Athletic Club was founded in 1932, which is a very young team in England. The club's honor is as young as history. It has been in the Cheshire League in the early years, and it looks like a sixth and seventh level.
It was not until 2005 that Wigan Athletics entered the Premier League as the runner-up in the English Premier League, and it participated in the top league in England for the first time in team history.
On May 11, 2013, Wigan Athletic won the only heavyweight championship trophy in their team's history - the FA Cup.
Their opponent in the final that year was Manchester City of Mancini.
It's just five years, not long ago, Kompani, Aguero and Silva are still "alive" and the three of them are all starting in that game.
At that time, the entire Wigan Athletics team was worth less than Manchester City's Dzeko, but Manchester City did not have a significant advantage in the game.
In the 84th minute, Sabaretta's flying shovel McManaman was sent off by two yellows and one reds.
It was not the famous Steve McManaman who had played in Liverpool, Real Madrid and Manchester City, but the winger Callum McManaman who was only 22 years old that year, who were distant relatives.
In 901, Sean Maloni, No. 10 of Wigan, took a corner kick, and Benjamin Watson, who came on the bench, headed the ball to the top, and Wigan defeated Manchester City 1:0.
Wigan became the second team in history to win the FA Cup finals for the first time, the other team was Blackburn in 1988.
The head coach of this Wigan team is now the Spanish coach of the Belgian national team, Roberto Martinez.
After that game, Mancini announced his resignation.
Three days after that championship, Wigan Athletic lost 1:4 to Arsenal in the 37th round of the 2012-13 Premier League, and was relegated one round ahead of schedule, becoming the first team in England to win the FA Cup but relegated that year.
I haven't returned yet.
In the past five years, Wigan not only went to the English Championship, but also fought for two rounds in the English Championship and the English League One. Now it is the English League One. They are in the disaster, so there are no more meritorious players in the team from five years ago.
The coach of Wigan Athletics is 53-year-old Englishman Paul Cook. This man is not very famous. His biggest achievement was to lead Portsmouth to the English League Two championship.
However, after 32 rounds of the League One this season, Wigan Athletics ranked first and 8 points ahead of second place Blackburn, which is very likely to be promoted to the Championship again.
Wigan is not the only low-level team to enter the FA Cup round of 16 this time. In addition to 10 Premier League teams, there are also Sheffield United in the Championship, Sheffield United and Hull City on Wednesday, Wigan and Rochede in the League One.
and Coventry.
Among the six low-level teams, Wigan is not lucky because they won the "five goals to beat the basic board". What is a mantis arm to drive?
Guardiola is not too arrogant. From before the Christmas schedule to now, the team is running at full capacity. Five days after the game with Wigan, it will be the League Cup final with Arsenal. Any coach will do it.
Rotation.
Zhuo Yang, Sterling, Febird, Otamendi, and four generals in three lines were resting. Dingding, Kompany, Walker, and Ederson sat on the bench.
Bravo, Danilo, Laporte, Stones, Delf, Derby, Gundogan, David Silva, B-Sai, Sane, Aguero. You can
Do you say that Manchester City underestimates the opponent? Anyway, Manchester United, which was Mourinho, wouldn't think so.
Compared with the final five years ago, Manchester City has the advantage today, testing Wigan's goalkeeper Christian Walton on loan from Brighton.
Wigan's style is very English, and it is like this in the English League One. The offense and defense are very fast, faster than the Premier League, with no transition or adjustments, and the defense is fierce by buses.
Manchester City, which has no trace of traditional English football, seems very unaccustomed to such games.
In the first half, Manchester City shot 15 times, 0 shots, Wigan shots 2 times, and 0 shots were on the right.
452. Manchester City failed to attack. Wigan's midfielder Maxi Powell got the ball outside the penalty area in the backcourt and was about to sprint. Delf brutally shone his shoes and fucked the ball, and he took the ball to you.
Is it too much? It's not too much. Previously, Aguero, B-shi, Dashi, Gundogan, Danilo and others were cut down by Wigan players like cutting down big trees. Whoever tackles and closes his legs will be
dog.
Maybe he was flirted with, or maybe he was venting his anger for his teammates, Delf just retaliated for tooth.
The referee came over with a yellow card, but was surrounded by Wigan players before he arrived. After such a delay, he received a reminder from the fourth referee on the sidelines. When he walked to Delf, his hand had changed.
Become a red card.
The FA Cup pays great attention to maintaining grassroots dreams and will not turn this oldest football event into a back garden that is just a powerful person.
After the midfield whistle sounded, Guardiola and Paul Cook had a fierce quarrel over this penalty, and they would never take action if they could.
At the beginning of the second half, Lao Gua replaced Sane with Walker and moved Danilo to the left back.
Zhuo Yang's last football match as a wild fan was in the first round of the Asian group stage in the 2002 South Korea-Japan World Cup qualifiers in Xi'an in April 2001, with the Milu national team 10:1 Maldives.
In the 60th minute of that game, Li Tie made a mistake in passing and was intercepted by Maldives midfielder Ismail. Then Li Tie accompanied Ismail all the way to the penalty area, and did not rob it back. I don’t know why Li Tie always
I was not willing to foul.
Faced with Wu Chengying's fall and blocking, Ismail barely shot, but unexpectedly broke through the goal guarded by Jiang Jin.
This is the only shot in the Maldives in the game.
That day, Zhuo Yang and Haiyang and Jiushan were shouting "Swap Li Tie" with 50,000 fans.
Seventeen years later, Zhuo Yang, who was watching live TV in Cheshire, really wanted to shout 'Switch Walker' again.
.
Wigan No. 9, 27-year-old Northern Ireland striker Will Grigg is a standard League One shooter. He scored 25 goals in League One last season to get the Golden Boot. But last season he went to England with Wigan
Guan, he only scored 5.
Returning to the League One this season, Grigg has scored 15 more.
Northern Ireland is not a strong team, but in 2016, Northern Ireland was honored to enter the European Cup main competition. Not only did it enter, it also reached the top 16, and 1/8 was just because of Macaulay.
The own goal was eliminated 1:0 by Wales. It is now West Brom's Macaulay, a 39-year-old living fossil in the Premier League.
That year, League One scorer King Grieg also watched four games at the closest distance as a substitute striker.
Although he didn't play for a minute, Grigg was still well-known in that European Cup.
The Northern Ireland fans who were entertaining themselves adapted a song "will griggs on fire" (Will Grigg is in great shape) sang it when he had nothing to do, because the melody was catchy, and fans of other countries who were idle too.
Singing with you, not only on the stadium, but also in the end you all know.
.
In the 80th minute of the dw stadium game, Wigan Australian full-back Elder got the ball from the sideline. The b-seat rushed from behind and ran over with his shoulder. Elder tripped and kicked the ball forward.
Walker got stuck in front of Roberts and leaked the football with a very casual and fake move, tricking Roberts into calling him dad on the spot.
But Walker immediately became a grandson when he turned around.
Will Grigg came down from the other side of him, and Walker helped his opponent play the ball alone.
Kyle Walker is like Li Tie 17 years ago, and I don’t know why he is reluctant to commit a foul.
John Stones fell to the ground and blocked him like Wu Chengying 17 years ago;
Grieg shot like Ismail 17 years ago;
Bravo didn't rush like Jiangjin 17 years ago.
1:0, this is the only time that Wigan Athletics has shot in four shots in the game.
Ten minutes later, the game ended, the biggest upset in the FA Cup this season was launched, and Wigan Athletics eliminated Premier League leader Manchester City 1-0.
After a red card, the two games that were five years apart were similar.
In fact, Manchester City and Wigan have confronted each other three times in the FA Cup in five years. Wigan 1:0 in the 2013 final, Wigan 2:1 in the quarterfinals in 2014, Wigan 2:1 in the quarterfinals in 2018, Wigan 1:0 in the quarterfinals in 2018.
Manchester City.
Mancini, Pellegrini, Guardiola, and Manchester City's three coaches were each beaten by Wigan in the FA Cup. Wigan is Manchester City's undisputed nemesis in the FA Cup, no matter which level he is in
.
David Silva was replaced by Ding Ding in the 60th minute. He only made a substitute Toure in the second half of the game 1:2 four years ago. The only person who played the whole three games was Aguero, and the dog thing was
Falling goods.
The whole set of unlucky things happened. As soon as the final whistle sounded, the players had no time to leave the court, and Wigan fans rushed into the venue to celebrate.
Wigan players enjoyed the fun with the people, but this was obviously not a Manchester City man. Aguero walked slowly, but was still chased by a fan who should be snatched and kept ridiculed. He endured it.
It's time to push him, Akun endures it.
It's time to say, "You eat my xxx" and spit on his face, A Kun is angry.
It was time to run away, but Aguero chased after him and wanted to kill someone, but was hugged and dragged back to the locker room by his teammates.
Given the Crown Athletics lift attributes in recent years, it is difficult for both Manchester City and Aguero to find this place.
Chapter completed!
