Green Journey

Chapter 457 That butcher is back!
After this round of the game, because Chelsea was tied by Liverpool, Manchester City directly tied the points.

Now in the Premier League standings, both Manchester City and Chelsea have 16 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses, with a total of 52 points.

But Chelsea only have a goal difference of 29.

Manchester City scored 64 goals and conceded 31 goals, with a goal difference of 33.

So Manchester City regained the top spot in the Premier League.

Manchester City has also become the only winner of the top six teams in this round of the Premier League, thriving.

After the game, the Manchester City fans who saw the team finally developing in a good direction also burst into tears. They celebrated unkindly in the stands in front of the West Ham fans. into a tragedy.

It's not easy!

This season they really broke their hearts with Manchester City's poor defense.

It's finally stabilized now.

Although this new defense combination still needs time and strong teams to test it, they have already seen the dawn of the team getting on the right track.

In addition to the media and fans, those football celebrities who like to comment on the Premier League giants and players were not absent from this discussion.

Ferdinand claimed in the game commentary that Manchester City gave people a reborn feeling today.

Throughout the whole game, Manchester City's attack line can be said to be in full bloom.

Every attack is full of threat and very scary.

In addition to Ferdinand, Carragher also believes that the reason why Manchester City has this new change in the frontcourt is that the offensive efficiency of the frontcourt has improved, and there are also generals in the backcourt. The two complement each other and achieve a delicate balance. It is not as top-heavy as before. .

Coupled with Jesus, a rookie who likes to drop deep from the attacking line, his activity further enhances the creativity of Manchester City's midfield.

When Aguero was on the court before, he would retreat.

But not as deep as Jesus.

As for Chu Zheng and De Bruyne behind the Manchester City striker, these two actually took turns to take on the important task of organizing the offense.

When these two people go up, one of them has to withdraw a little while the other one goes up.

Sometimes he is dragged down by the back line, and even needs to repeatedly retreat to a deep position in the midfield to participate in defense, which affects Manchester City's frontcourt offense.

But today is different, the back line is stable, Chu Zheng and De Bruyne are in front of the halfway line most of the time.

This makes Manchester City's creativity in the midfield more terrifying than ever.

Coupled with the exceptionally high offensive efficiency of Manchester City's attack group today, it has created an extremely terrifying Manchester City.

Guardiola's tactical arrangement is actually extremely targeted.

Although Chu Zheng and De Bruyne have primary and secondary points, this strategy of organizing offense will make it impossible for opponents to target restrictions.

Guardiola actually put two offensive cores on the field.

Once the main core of Chu Zheng is targeted and restricted by the opponent, De Bruyne's secondary core will be activated instantly to attract firepower and share the pressure of Chu Zheng.

And vice versa.

So in Manchester City this season, you will see that his main offensive line is erratic from left to right.

The percentages of his three vertical offensive lines are almost even, with only a few cases slanting to one side.

In addition, Chu Zheng, a free agent, can use his imaginative creativity to plan attacks directly at any position on the court, so even if Manchester City is unstable in the first half of the league, they can still cling to their stable performance. Chelsea back.

The meaning of Carragher's words is actually very explicit. He almost didn't say that Chu Zheng was carrying Manchester City towards the Premier League champion in the first half of the Premier League.

In fact, this is also the case. In the Manchester City team, everyone knows it well, whether it is Guardiola or other players or Manchester City fans.

Without Chu Zheng's phenomenal performances to carry them away time and time again, they would have been thrown thousands of miles away by the crazy Chelsea this season.

Of course, there are praises and criticisms.

Especially the noisy neighbor next door to Manchester City.

"Manchester Evening News", as the mouthpiece of Manchester United, directly hit Manchester City hard.

In the report, "Manchester Evening News" stated that the reason why the game was scored 6-0 was because the opponent was too weak and Manchester City could not stand the test of a strong team.

As long as Manchester City encounters a strong enemy in the next game, they will be beaten back to their original form in an instant.

The words of the "Manchester Evening News" are saying that Manchester City will only bully the weak.

These remarks made Manchester City fans very upset, extremely upset.

Then Manchester United was slapped backhand by Manchester City, and was directly hit by Manchester City fans.

"Yes, we only bully the weak, but you can't even beat the weak! Hahaha!"

The response from Manchester City fans was short, but to Manchester United fans, it was not only extremely lethal, but also extremely insulting, directly poking people's hearts.

The logic of Manchester City fans is that Hull City is weaker than West Ham United, and none of you can win in the end, so the conclusion is that Manchester United is weaker than Manchester City.

No problem!
The logic is clear and well-founded.

Immediately, the Manchester United fans shut up and were speechless. They really didn't know how to fight back for a while.

No way, the facts are right in front of our eyes. They were tied by Hull City, which is the second-to-last in the standings, and they are still playing at home.

And Manchester City is an away game, winning 6-0. No matter how they compare, they have been trampled by Manchester City in this round of the Premier League.

After calming down, the unconvinced Manchester United fans found another way, avoiding the most important and taking the lightest, and began to turn over old accounts, so as to start a new round of scolding battles with Manchester City fans on the Internet, fully interpreting what it means to be a bully, and what it means to be as long as I keep fighting. won't lose!

However, the slap in the face came too fast, just like SF Express.

Three days later, the 24th round of the Premier League hit.

Manchester City's opponent in this round is Swansea.

For Manchester City, of course, it is another weak chicken.

But with the big scene where five of the top six in the last round of the Premier League overturned collectively, people no longer dare to assert the result of the game.

In fact, this is precisely the reason why Premier League football is loved by fans all over the world and its influence is growing.

The Premier League is not like other leagues, it has no real underdogs.

Even if it is a wealthy team, once the anger is kicked out, it means fuck you and fuck you.

Swansea currently has 21 points with Middlesbrough, the fourth from the bottom, but they are still in the relegation zone because of the disadvantage of goal difference.

The results were not surprising.

Swansea's front line failed to threaten the Manchester City defense line, which was dominated by Kompany.

Chu Zheng and the others can safely attack the city in the frontcourt.

In the end, he kicked Swansea from afar.

3 to 0, another clean sheet!
Chu Zheng still had goals and assists in this game.

David Silva assisted him with a goal, and he immediately reciprocated in the second half, and also assisted his big brother David Silva.

The third goal was scored by Jesus, who continued to replace Aguero in the starting lineup. This was his Premier League debut.

The summer window was finalized, and the winter window reported that the excellent performance of the team's Jesus made Manchester City fans very excited.

Manchester City fans will be hoping that Aguero will return to form as soon as possible after feeling the pressure.
At that time, these two people can take turns to contribute to the team, deepen the thickness of the striker, and enrich Gua Shuai's tactical and strategic choices.

Manchester City fans are extremely excited when they think of the picture of Aguero also recovering his form.

At that time, Chu Zheng and De Bruyne will frantically create murderous intentions in the midfield, and Aguero and Jesus will take turns to kill their opponents. The picture will not be too beautiful.

Then came the first upset of the round.

It's Liverpool again.

The away game was kicked 2-0.

The instigator was Hull City, who upset Manchester United in the last round and the second-to-last in the Premier League standings.

For a while, Liverpool's reputation of robbing the rich and giving to the poor, and sending warmth to the relegation zone teams became even louder.

At the same time, Liverpool also set off from the side Manchester City, which continues to keep zero opponents.

You must know that the defense lines of these two teams were still in the same place some time ago, and they were all bean curd projects.

Now, however, Manchester City is not what it used to be.

This comparison makes Liverpool fans very depressed.

They very much hope that Klopp can strengthen their poor defense line as soon as possible like Guardiola.

But Klopp is actually a clever woman who can't cook without rice.

No money and no one, what can I do, I can only hold on!

Klopp's current league idea is actually very simple, that is, sudden and sudden, how many sudden deaths can be counted, as long as he can guarantee that he can play in the Champions League next season.

As for Chelsea, they defeated Arsenal 3-1 at home, stabilized the situation, and did not allow Manchester City to take advantage of this strong dialogue to overtake the points.

After this round, the FA Cup rematch hits.

But Leicester City is the only unlucky one among the 20 Premier League teams, and all other Premier League teams have directly advanced.

Manchester City also took advantage of this week-long period to continue preparing for the game.

During the week-long offseason, there is no half-day vacation.

Coupled with the increasingly heavy training tasks, the Manchester City team has some complaints about Guardiola.

Chu Zheng watched with cold eyes.

The time has entered February, and as the UEFA Champions League is about to rekindle, teams like Manchester City that have European missions and domestic cups and leagues to play will become urgent.

At this time, I want to have a vacation, and I want to fart!
Sure enough, in the tactical class that day, Guardiola said in front of all Manchester City players that if anyone wants to take a vacation, they can go to him after the meeting.

He will approve.

It's so sincere!
But Chu Zheng didn't believe a word.

Looking at Guardiola's half-smile expression, Chu Zheng saw through it at a glance, this old boy was a bit sinister.

And Foden, a naive critic who is not well-versed in the world, really listened to it, and Pidiandian wanted to ask for leave to accompany his girlfriend to the maternity examination.

Chu Zheng beat the little idiot back straight away.

What a joke, whoever is going to be stupid, don't want to play the game anymore, right?
On February 2, Manchester City's entire army attacked and went straight to Bournemouth, Dorset County, southwest England.

This is a resort city, but Manchester City is not here for vacation, but to kill the Cherries.

The first time the two sides met this season was in the fifth round of the Premier League at the beginning of the season. At that time, Manchester City sent the Cherries a score of 4-0.

Bournemouth is currently ranked 14th in the standings, and Sunderland, Hull City and Crystal Palace in the relegation zone cannot threaten them for the time being.

In this game, Guardiola, who has been repeatedly refreshed by the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League, still attaches great importance to it as always.

Therefore, even if there are one-eighth of the Champions League games to be played four days later, he still has all the main lineups.

It's just that compared with the previous two rounds, the starting lineup has changed again.

Aguero, who was held back for two games in this game, started.

The midfielder is still Chu Zheng and De Bruyne, as well as Fernandinho, whose red card suspension ended.

In the defense, Stones and Kompany partnered, and Otamendi rotated.

As for the full-back position, since Kyle Walker has just joined the team and is not very familiar with Manchester City's style of play, he still has not entered the squad for the game.

The two veterans Kolarov and Zabaleta will start.

For this game, the outside world generally believes that Manchester City can win, but it should not be so easy.

As a result, Manchester City slapped the face with practical actions and another big score.

After the game, it was another 4-0. Manchester City successfully double-killed the Cherry Legion and harvested another game of zero seals. It was hearty to win.

And Aguero may have been holding back for a long time, or he may have felt the threat of Jesus. He broke out directly in this game and scored twice.

On Manchester City's side, the fans were overjoyed.

Because this round Chelsea was upset again.

Conte's army was in Burnley, Lancashire. As a result, they may have been poured with too much red wine, and they were kicked 1-1 in a daze.

With this tie, Manchester City took advantage of the situation in an instant and temporarily secured the top spot in the Premier League with an advantage of two points.

Manchester City's offense is still crazy in this game. It is a true half-court offensive and defensive game, which is mutually confirmed with Guardiola's words that were regarded as strange talks by the outside world some time ago.

Chu Zheng scored twice in this game and also had an assist. His efficiency was as high as ever.

Although the opponents are relatively weak, but three consecutive zero seals can already explain the problem.

Manchester City's defense problem has basically been solved by Guardiola.

As long as Kompany does not trigger the glass body, then as the schedule progresses and Kompany's state returns, perhaps Manchester City's defense will perform better and better.

Counting the FA Cup and Crystal Palace matches, Manchester City has unknowingly won four consecutive victories, and all of them have zero opponents.

For a while, the European media reported that Manchester City, who was invincible at the beginning of the season and liked to engage in massacres...

came back!
