Green Journey

Chapter 456 Wuhu!Something is wrong with Manchester City!

The next day, the first day of the Lunar New Year, people in China were enjoying the rare leisure time during the busy year, but Chu Zheng had to get up early to go to work.

After preparing dog food and cat food for the four little guys, Chu Zheng drove straight to the Manchester City training base.

But not long after leaving the house, Zhao Dudu's video call came.

Chu Zheng stretched out his hand and pressed it on the center console, and Zhao Dudu's smiling face appeared on the LCD screen of the center console.

As soon as the video was connected, Chu Zheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, your dog son and cat girl will not be hungry!"

After finishing speaking, Chu Zheng suddenly asked again: "By the way, Dudu, does your father have any opinion on me?"

At 12 o'clock last night, that is, 8 o'clock in the morning of the Chinese New Year's Day, Chu Zheng deliberately picked this time to send a New Year greeting to Zhao Dudu's parents and grandparents via video.

Zhao Dudu's grandpa, grandma and his mother are okay, and they have a warm attitude towards him.

However, when Dad Zhao arrived, there was only a faint smile.

It made Chu Zheng feel that the opposite was a customer service person who respected each other like a guest, neither warm nor cold.

"Haha!" After hearing Chu Zheng's words, Zhao Dudu didn't know what he thought of, and his eyes narrowed with a smile, "He didn't target you. In fact, my father's personality is quite similar to yours. If it weren't for those business and entertainment scenes , He doesn’t talk much to me and my mother in private.”

"oh, I see!"

"That's good. Your dad almost scared me to death. After I hung up the video, I kept wondering if I did something wrong."

"Hehehe! No more! My dad is still very easy to get along with, and you will know in the future." Zhao Dudu laughed.

Chu Zheng nodded, then chatted with Zhao Dudu all the way, and didn't hang up the video until he entered downtown Manchester.

When Chu Zheng arrived in the locker room, everyone else was almost there.

Perhaps because of the 4-0 slaughter of Crystal Palace in the fourth round of the FA Cup and the successful advancement to the fifth round, the atmosphere in the dressing room today is particularly relaxed and happy.

In the game against Crystal Palace, Guardiola did not rotate all 11 players, but kept some main players on the field.

For example, Aguero, this guy continues to start, and Guardiola obviously wants this guy to get his shooting boots back as soon as possible.

There are also veterans such as David Silva and Fernando in the midfield, partnered with rookie Foden.

There is also the old captain Kompany who has just returned from injury in the backcourt.

So the game was won very easily.

"Chu, did you watch yesterday's game? Did you see how I got rid of it continuously? I made fun of those big men in the Crystal Palace." Chu Zheng was about to walk to his locker when Foden, a little carrot, suddenly He came out and said excitedly.

Seeing that the excitement of Foden playing for Manchester City's first team for the first time has not yet passed, Chu Zheng was overjoyed, gave a thumbs up, opened his mouth, and said: "I watched the game, Phil, I have to say, You did a great job, especially that assist, which showed your vision."

As soon as the words fell, Foden's excited little face froze instantly, and his whole body turned into petrification.

(⊙﹏⊙) He came off the bench in the second half yesterday and only played for about ten minutes. Where did he get an assist?

"Pfft!" Kompany, who was sitting next to him, burst out laughing, Chu Zheng was clearly trying to tease a fool.

"Hey! Chu, you liar, you didn't watch yesterday's game at all, did you?" Foden reacted and jumped up angrily.

"Haha!" Seeing Chu Zheng teasing the silly boy, there was a burst of laughter in the locker room, and Foden was so angry that he wanted to jump up and hit Chu Zheng's knee.

Chu Zheng cheerfully avoided Foden's pursuit in the locker room, and the two quarreled for a while before stopping.

When Chu Zheng walked to his locker, he found that De Bruyne was talking and laughing with a familiar but unfamiliar face.

Seeing Kyle Walker, Chu Zheng felt a burst of relief.

Some time ago, I heard that this guy was still hesitating, and Chu Zheng was a little worried.

Kyle Walker can be said to be the most suitable signing target for Manchester City at the moment.

Because this guy can be side-to-side, he is very suitable for Guardiola's new tactical choice, and it can be said to be perfect.

Once this guy refuses, Guardiola's new tactic will have to be delayed until next season.

This guy is very important in that set of tactics.

In fact, it is said that it is a lease, but everyone in the circle understands what is going on.

It's just that no one will pierce the window paper.

This is the unspoken rule for all clubs in Europe to fight against the Financial Fair Play Act, and all clubs reserve default means.

No one will break the rules, otherwise they will be cleaned up early.

……

On February 2, the 1rd round of the Premier League officially kicked off.

The result was beyond everyone's expectations.

Because of this round of the Premier League, almost all strong teams have lost points.

Due to the injuries of Vertonghen and Alderweireld, Tottenham, whose defense team was forced to go offline, played against Sunderland, who was last in the round.

As a result, Tottenham were tied 0-0 by the Black Cats at home. This was the first upset in this round of the Premier League.

In this round, Arsenal sits at the Emirates Stadium to meet the challenge of Watford, who is sixth from the bottom of the standings.

As a result, the Gunners led by Wenger encountered a swarm of hornets at home and attacked Watford with two goals in the first 15 minutes.

In the end, Arsenal was stung all over their heads, and then died of poison. They lost 1-2 to Watford, which broke the second upset of this round of the Premier League.

After the game, the media evaluated this game as the last game Arsenal should not lose.

Some media even claimed in reports that Arsenal began to lose suicidally at the critical moment of the championship.

And the third upset is what the Manchester City Club likes to see from top to bottom.

In this round, the Red Devils led by Mourinho played at the Kingston-upon-Hull Communications Stadium in Yorkshire, against Hull City, who was second to last in the standings.

As a result, I never expected that the tiger was fierce and was almost torn apart by Hull City. In the end, the two sides also shook hands 0-0.

And the other game was expected, not an upset.

In this round of the Premier League giants, the Red Army Liverpool played against the Blue Army Chelsea at Anfield.

If you don't look at the score in this game, you will think it is a one-sided game.

However, shortly after the opening, Chelsea's Luiz took advantage of Mignolet's commanding the wall, suddenly sent a free kick, and succeeded in a sneak attack with a powerful deciduous kick.

Liverpool did not live up to the title of giant killer.

After falling behind by one goal at home, the score was finally equalized, and both sides failed to score again until the end of the game.

Liverpool's strong attack on Chelsea forced Conte to slow down his pursuit of the Premier League title.

Although the game was not won, Liverpool fans were very satisfied with the game.

Because they saw the bloodiness injected by Klopp in Liverpool.

Red Army fans believe that it is only a matter of time before the team returns to the top.

On Manchester City's side, this round's opponent is the Hammers who were slaughtered 5-0 by Chu Zheng and the others some time ago.

West Ham United was extremely strong last season and almost pushed Manchester United out of the Europa League.

But this season, West Ham United has experienced a more obvious decline.

They are currently ranked 11th in the Premier League standings, no longer the aggressive momentum of last season.

For Manchester City, this is an old rival.

Because Manchester City has doubled West Ham United this season.

In the third round of the FA Cup in early January, Manchester City also gave the Hammers a 5-0 score as a guest.

It gave West Ham their worst home defeat since May 1967.

So playing West Ham, especially West Ham this season, Manchester City has a huge psychological advantage.

Even away games are full of confidence.

Guardiola's main force is all out in this game.

But in the starting lineup, as the media expected, there have been major changes.

In the frontcourt, Jesus started and Aguero sat on the bench.

The backcourt card goalkeeper Bravo was finally put on the bench by Guardiola as the Manchester City fans wished.

He was replaced by Manchester City's new goalkeeper Ederson.

The return of the veteran captain Kompany on the defensive line has boosted Manchester City's collective morale.

Coupled with Manchester City's luxurious attack group in the frontcourt, which is completely comparable to Barcelona and Manchester City.

So it was very easy for Manchester City to win, and they almost made the Hammer Gang's gang of Premier League iron-blooded real men cry.

;

In just 3 minutes of the opening, Chu Zheng went straight in front of De Bruyne in front of the midfielder at high speed.

Then De Bruyne scored the ball to the right rib, Jesus entered the penalty area and passed the penalty kick in an inverted triangle, and De Bruyne made it overnight.

In the 18th minute of the game, Chu Zheng successfully intercepted in the right rib area of ​​his own half with the cooperation of Toure and other teammates, and then quickly crossed the ball to Lud Brauner and directly launched a counterattack.

De Bruyne did not slow down Chu Zheng's counterattack, and kicked the ball from the left side, directly hitting West Ham United's penalty area.

After taking the ball from outside the top corner of the penalty area, Sane broke through all the way, passing two West Ham United players in a row.

After getting down to the bottom line, cross the ball on the sideline of the small penalty area and then point.

So the unguarded Chu Zheng outflanked and sent the ball into the West Ham United goal from close range without any effort.

After two to zero, Manchester City's attack line was in full bloom.

When the first half ended, the game was four to zero.

The respective statistics of Chu Zheng and De Bruyne are one pass and one shot.

In the 52nd minute of the second half, seeing that West Ham had no fighting spirit at all, Guardiola started training.

The 17-year-old Xiao Fudeng replaced Chu Zheng and took the first step to become the prince of Manchester City.

But in this life, he is destined to have a king on his head to guard him.

Foden lived up to the expectations of Chu Zheng and Guardiola.

The little guy's fighting spirit and desire for the game after he came on the field stands out among the Manchester City players whose mentality has become very relaxed.

Then his first Premier League goal came naturally.

Although Foden did not achieve the achievement of becoming famous with one goal, his unique spirituality and excellent dribbling and ball-handling skills have also attracted enough attention from the media.

The appearance of Foden also proves that Manchester City's youth training work over the years is excellent.

Manchester City is not just throwing money into the transfer market to buy people.

In the end, Manchester City once again slaughtered the Hammers to help West Ham United 6-0.

West Ham United fans swallowed a new home defeat record with tears in their eyes.

After the game, Manchester City was collectively touted by the mainstream European media.

There is no need to repeat the excellent performances of Chu Zheng, De Bruyne and others.

But the performance of Manchester City's defense today is really refreshing for everyone.

In the first half of the game, West Ham did not do nothing.

The Hammer Gang's high-handed British offense is also quite threatening, as well as counterattacks.

But Manchester City has the old captain Kompany in charge today, and then partnered with Otamendi, who played relatively stable.

So under the command of Kompany, a battle-tested titan, Manchester City's defense miraculously did not make a single mistake, which was incredible.

Coupled with the excellent performance of Ederson in the Premier League debut, Manchester City's goal is solid.

Ederson, a rookie in the Premier League, was extremely excited today.

Not only to resist in front of the door.

He also used his outstanding long-pass guidance technology time and time again to directly help Manchester City launch an offensive from in front of the goal, which really showed everyone.
