After the game, Guardiola, who was in an extremely happy mood, answered all questions at the press conference and praised Chu Zheng and many Manchester City players.
Guardiola even said that he had two best players in mind for this game.
One is Chu Zheng, the best player in the game, and the other is Aguero.
Although Aguero only assisted and did not score in this game, his performance is obvious to all.
Running and actively fighting for 90 minutes, Aguero showed super efficiency. He even returned all the way to the penalty area to slide and tackle Messi. Aguero had a lot of success in Chu Zheng's two goals.
Big credit.
When Guardiola returned to the locker room from the media conference, huge cheers erupted in the Manchester City locker room not long after.
More than half an hour later, Chu Zheng walked out of the dressing room with his bag on his back, a happy expression on his face.
Although the 11th round of the Premier League will be played on November 5, Guardiola just gave all the players a day off as a reward for winning against Barcelona.
Half an hour later, Chu Zheng returned home. Just as he was about to go upstairs, he was startled by three different dog barks in the living room.
When Chu Zheng came to the living room out of curiosity, he was dumbfounded.
On the carpet in the living room, the dog Laifu was chasing two little things and pulling at them.
One of the two puppies has a black mouth and white body, and the other is brown and red all over. It has small eyes and looks silly, not very smart.
Influenced by Zhao Dudu, Chu Zheng also had a certain ability to distinguish between cats and dogs. After careful inspection, he recognized the types of the two little things.
The one with the black mouth and white body should be the Kangal, Turkey’s national dog, which is a super-large fierce dog. The other one seems to be the domestic five-red dog.
Laifu noticed Chu Zheng approaching, raised his head and glanced at Chu Zheng, and then continued to chase the two dogs.
Chu Zheng found it interesting and watched happily for a while, then walked over and picked up the puppies one by one, who were being chased by Laifu and were squealing and trying to get into the fireplace.
Laifu was not happy anymore, wagging his tail and circling around Chu Zheng, raising his head and whining.
Chu Zheng used his feet to push away Laifu who was about to pounce on him, and scolded him with a smile: "You bitch, don't go too far, be careful if someone grows up and beats the shit out of you."
"Whew, ah, woof, woof..." Laifu followed Chu Zheng upstairs, whining all the way, and the tone of his voice was quite dirty.
After going up to the second floor and seeing no one in the bedroom, Chu Zheng went to the study and pushed the door open.
In the study room, Zhao Dudu was wearing glasses and sitting at the desk, typing attentively in front of his laptop.
Hearing the footsteps, Zhao Dudu raised his head and glanced at Chu Zheng, then lowered his head and continued typing.
Chu Zheng put down the two little things in his arms. Laifu, who had been ambushing behind Chu Zheng, quickly pounced on him and knocked one down with one paw. Then he lay down on the floor, waiting for the puppy to get up and hit him with another paw.
I patted it down. I have never seen such a mean dog.
Chu Zheng couldn't see it anymore, so he kicked Laifu over. The two little things immediately ran towards Zhao Dudu with their tails between their legs, whimpering, and circled around their feet, seeking shelter.
Seeing Zhao Dudu put down his work, he immediately picked up the two little things with a smile and put them on the large table. Chu Zheng smiled and said: "Where did these two little things come from?"
Zhao Dudu touched the Kangao dog's head and said with a smile: "Chang Wei was bought for me from Turkey by my colleagues in the laboratory, and the 80,000 yuan was sent by Niu Benben.
This bastard said some time ago that he was feeling a little empty and lonely, so he found someone to buy this little guy in China. I guess the interest has passed and he no longer wants to raise it, so he found an excuse and threw it to me."
"Chang Wei." Chu Zheng stared, looking at Xiao Kangao who was licking Zhao Dudu's palm, and then at Laifu who was lying on the edge of the table staring at the two little puppies, "You're going to name him Chang Wei?"
Have you ever considered how it feels to be blessed?"
"Do you want Laifu to be beaten every day from now on?"
"Haha!" Zhao Dudu couldn't help laughing.
…
Three days later, on November 5, the 11th round of the Premier League began.
But the focus of this round of Premier League is not on Manchester City, but on the North London derby between Arsenal and Tottenham and the game between Chelsea and Everton.
Manchester City will sit at the Etihad this round to face the challenge of Middlesbrough, which was promoted this season.
Middlesbrough's popularity in England is actually no lower than that of newcomers to the Premier League like Leicester City. It can even be said that everyone knows about it.
Middlesbrough is a football club located in Middlesbrough, England. It was founded in 1876 by a group of cricket club members. It started as a sport for cricket players to stay in shape during the winter off-season.
Over the past 100 years, Middlesbrough has had its ups and downs, but their most glorious era was at the beginning of the 21st century.
At the beginning of the new century, Middlesbrough gathered many famous Premier League players.
In the 2004-05 season, McLaren finally led Middlesbrough to win the League Cup in the EFL Cup final against Bolton at the Millennium Stadium, winning the first cup championship in the 128-year history of the Middlesbrough club.
In the 2005-06 season, McLaren once again led Middlesbrough to challenge for the UEFA Europa League, and successively eliminated strong opponents such as Roma and Barcelona to reach the final, but fell to Sevilla 0-4 in the end and won the runner-up.
This is also the best result in Europe in the history of the Middlesbrough team.
After the 2005-06 season, McLaren, the meritorious coach of Middlesbrough, was appointed as the head coach of the England team.
Southgate then took over as coach, but under Southgate's leadership for two seasons, Middlesbrough only achieved mid-table results in the Premier League.
In the 2008-09 season, Middlesbrough were relegated from the bottom two, ending their eleven consecutive years in the Premier League.
Although they were promoted to the Premier League again this year, Middlesbrough, like the other two promoted teams, had mediocre results.
At present, after 10 rounds of the Premier League, Middlesbrough has 10 points with 2 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses, ranking 15th in the Premier League. There is only a 3-point gap between them and Hull City in the relegation zone, and they can be relegated at any time.
The three teams here are catching up.
But in the past two rounds, Middlesbrough's ranking has shown an upward trend.
In the 9th round of the Premier League, they tied Arsenal 0-0 at the Emirates Stadium, and defeated Bournemouth 2-0 at home in the last round.
Judging from the data from the 20 Premier League matches between the two sides, Manchester City has 4 wins, 5 draws and 11 losses. Manchester City is at an absolute disadvantage, and Middlesbrough seems to be very strong.
But today is different from the past. Compared with the current Manchester City, Middlesbrough is a weak team in the lower reaches of the Premier League that cannot make it to the table.
Both the media and fans feel that today's game will be a very easy game for Manchester City, which has regained its feeling and form in the Champions League midweek and ended its six-game losing streak.
Because Arsenal, who have the same points as Manchester City, will face a North London derby in this round, and they will definitely fight Tottenham to the death.
With Tottenham's current state, it will be difficult for Arsenal to win.
Although Liverpool also has 23 points with Manchester City, it is difficult for them to catch up with the goal difference between the two sides in one game.
Therefore, as long as Manchester City scores 3 points, they can maintain their position at the top of the league and continue to lead the Premier League teams.
However, although the media and fans guessed the process correctly, they did not guess the result correctly. Middlesbrough slapped everyone in the face with the facts.
Because this round of games will be followed by a two-week international match day, there is no need to accumulate energy for the next game, so Manchester City will use all its main players.
However, Guardiola made some adjustments to the defense in this game. Otamendi sat on the bench, Kolarov took his place as the left center back, and Clichy played as the left back.
