Chapter 443 It's a joke!

"We scored at the right time in the first half, and then scored again at the beginning of the second half. For Manchester City, it is very difficult for Manchester City to fall behind by two goals in the away game.For the team's defense today, I want to give praise. It is precisely because of the solid defense that we achieved the final victory and the performance was perfect. - Coleman

"In many games, we created enough scoring chances, and today is the same.However, as long as the opponent hits the goal, they can score, and the second time the opponent hits the goal, they can still score.For players, this is a difficult fact for us to accept.However, this is also the reason why we need to work hard and continue to improve our own strength. "-Guardiola

"This is a strange game. Guardiola's team seems to be cursed by God. From a statistical point of view, Manchester City has an overwhelming advantage. In the entire game, Manchester City touched the ball 886 times and passed 703. times, the pass success rate was 88%, the ball possession rate reached 70.5%, the number of shots was as many as 19, and the number of shots was 9, but the number of goals was zero.

On the contrary, Everton touched the ball 457 times, passed the ball 286 times, the pass success rate was 68%, and the possession rate was only 29.5%. However, Everton scored 6 goals in 4 shots and 4 shots. Old friend Koman bloodbath! "—— Marca
"Bravo is the main culprit in Manchester City's brutal bloodbath!The Manchester City goal he guarded was shot on target nearly 22 times and 16 goals were scored. His save success rate is only a poor 27.27%, which is the goalkeeper with the lowest save success rate in the Premier League this season.It is also because of Bravo that Manchester City has already conceded the ball on the opponent's first shot in seven games. The magical Chilean goalkeeper, how did he do it? "-French Football

"It's a very simple thing to break Manchester City's goal, you just need to shoot on target! - Manchester Evening News

"Stones brought two own goal assists to his old club and a transfer fee of 5000 million pounds. He can walk out of Goodison Park with his head held high and proudly say: I have lived up to Everton's training! "——BT SPORT
"Before today, Guardiola repeatedly emphasized that he is very satisfied with the team's lineup, I don't know if he is still satisfied now! "—BBC
After the game, Manchester City, which was bloodbathed by Everton 4-0, was immediately brought to the limelight by major European media.

This game really exceeded everyone's expectations. It was completely unexpected that Manchester City would be bloodbathed by Everton 4-0.

For a while, Manchester City became the laughing stock of European football, and various spearheads were also pointed at Manchester City.

As the head coach of the team, Guardiola bears the brunt.

Legendary Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand even claimed on BTsport's live broadcast that Manchester City's defeat at Goodison Park was a typical tikitaka football defeat.

Guardiola led Barcelona and Bayern all over La Liga and Bundesliga with this tactic, and won 7 championship trophies in 21 years. However, in the Premier League, this tactic is obviously unacceptable, and it can even be said to be a bit outdated.

In fact, Guardiola has also reflected on tikitaka's predicament in the Premier League.

Some time ago, on the BBC's face-to-face interview column, Guardiola publicly stated that in the Premier League, the traditional long pass and sling and the control of the ball's second landing limit limited the performance of tikitaka football.

Judging from today's game against Everton, Guardiola still hasn't been able to find an effective way to deal with it.

But Manchester City fans didn't have much complaints about Guardiola, who suffered the biggest defeat of his coaching career in the league.

Because whether it is the post-match statistics or the game situation, Guardiola's tactics have shown extremely powerful offensive capabilities.

Manchester City fans believe that the reason why the team was bloodbathed by Everton is that, on the one hand, Everton's luck is really against the sky today, and on the other hand, it is because of Aguero, Sterling and other strikers who spent crazily on Chu Zheng and De Blau opportunities created within.

They feel that the loss is just because their own side is too sloppy, the defense is too bad, and the players have to bear greater responsibility. The problem is not at the tactical level.

But there is also a small group of Manchester City fans who are bashing Guardiola.

These people didn't think there was a problem with Guardiola's tactics, they just complained about Guardiola's deployment of troops in this game.

Because after Everton scored the second goal in the second half, Guardiola seemed a little quiet on the sidelines.

After replacing Iheanacho, the team's offensive efficiency remained unchanged, and then Guardiola did not follow up. He only replaced one person, and the three substitutions were not used up.

They didn't know whether Guardiola, who was unresponsive on the coach's bench, reflected or gave up the game.

They are simply dissatisfied with Guardiola's negative attitude towards the game, and feel that with Guardiola's ability, they should think of a way.

But this time Manchester City fans did not let Bravo, Stones and others go as easily as last time.

In this game, Stones strictly speaking had only one own goal assist.

Although Manchester City's second goal was due to Stones' interception, the ball fell to Barkley's feet. The culprit was Chrissy who didn't fill him in.

If Clichy didn't take a walk there, but filled up the position at the first time, it would be different to prevent it, but Miralas would definitely not be able to hit the goal so easily and calmly.

Perhaps with a little disturbance, Miralas could lose his focus.

As for Bravo, the Manchester City fans were particularly angry this time, and even a large number of fans publicly shouted to let the Chilean goalkeeper get out, as far as he could go, and Manchester City did not collect garbage.

Bravo is the goalkeeper handpicked by Guardiola.

Before the transfer market closed last summer, Guardiola hid Joe Hart so decisively that the latter switched to Serie A Torino.

The confidence behind Guardiola is his understanding of Bravo.

But in fact, the two did not meet.

Bravo joined Barcelona in 2014, when Guardiola left Camp Nou long ago.

But this does not prevent Guardiola from being optimistic about Bravo.

As a goalkeeper, he is 1 meters tall. In front of the tall Premier League defenders, he does not have any height advantage, but he wins in his quick response and strong ability to play the ball. He is considered the perfect goalkeeper in Guardiola's tikitaka tactical system.

But now, the iron-clad facts prove that Guardiola was wrong.

Bravo failed to shoulder Guardiola's trust, and his performance can no longer be described as unsatisfactory, it can be said to be a mess, a perfect goalkeeper shit.

The goalkeeper's job is to act as the team's last line of defense.

If the opponent shoots more than 20 shots wildly in the whole game, maybe the goalkeeper may be a non-war crime for the goalkeeper, so it can be said that he has tried his best.

But the opponent scored with the first shot, and then scored as long as he hit the goal. It can be said that it was luck once or twice, but it happened every time. Recently, he was shot on goal 22 times and scored 16 goals. I have to doubt Bravo's true level.

For the angry Manchester City fans, they thought that Temeow's tie-down huskies might be able to block a few on the goal line.

But that's what Bravo is, and that's how evil it is.

After watching the Bravo save data released by opta after the game, every Manchester City fan could not suppress their anger.

It's too eye-catching. I've never seen such an incompetent goalkeeper. It's an unforgivable crime. He just kicked his worth from 2000 million to 20.

The conceded goal against Burnley in the last round was also caused by this guy's cooperation with his teammates' mistakes. As a result, he did not expect that this round was even more excessive, as if it was paper.
