Chapter 135 Manchester City Going Forward!
After the game between Manchester City and Everton, many British media are promoting this fact:
Of the new players introduced by Manchester City this winter, except for Stones who is currently unable to evaluate, several other new players have gradually realized their worth.

Not only did Manchester City start their own renewal process, but their own strength increased instead of falling, completely completing the first round of reinforcement.

Under the attention of the entire Premier League, a mid-upstream team was slaughtered. Manchester City's stable performance since late December has put their remaining opponents at risk.

As the "Guardian" reporter wrote in the game column of the day:

Manchester City is like a god of death holding a scythe, ruthlessly harvesting the souls of the Premier League teams round after round!
The following is accompanied by a classic picture of death pushing the door:

A long corridor is lined with a large row of rooms, each of which is hung with the team logo of a Premier League team. Where the death god representing Manchester City has passed, the doors of all the rooms are half-open, and there are countless streams flowing from it. Endless blood.

The blue terror from Manchester is sweeping the Premier League.

In outside discussions, Manchester City returned to Manchester, but Guardiola did not give the players a day off this time.

Time waits for no one, and Guardiola wants to run Manchester City into the best condition possible before encountering a strong enemy.

Three days later, the FA Cup schedule belonging to Manchester City kicked off. As a team participating in the European Premier League this season, Manchester City will directly enter the third round of the FA Cup.

Their opponent is the Premier League team Norwich in the relegation zone.

Manchester City has always been unlucky in the draws in the two domestic cups of the English League Cup and the FA Cup. Almost every round of the opponent is a team from the Premier League.

Although the rankings are all in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League, who doesn't want to draw a weaker opponent!

In this game, there was a rotation between Zhao Jinge and Aguero. Zhao Jinge, who played in the last game, stayed in Manchester, and Aguero led the team.

As a result, needless to say, as far as Manchester City's current bench lineup is concerned, if they only focus on the Premier League, it feels like they can catch up to the level of the Europa League teams.

Manchester City beat Norwich [-]-[-] at Carrow Road to advance to the fourth round of the FA Cup.

After a full rest, Aguero scored twice in the game, which made Guardiola and Aguero himself very happy.

A precious knife needs moderate tempering and long-term maintenance in order to keep it sharp for a long time. This is the case with Aguero now!

The FA Cup is about to end, and the No. 20 round of the Premier League will follow.

January NO.13 at 07:30 in the evening, Manchester City played at home against Everton, who had just been slaughtered by them.

Toffee, who had just been bloodbathed, faced Manchester City again, and naturally wanted to save some face.

Lu Yuanwai even uttered cruel words in the locker room. He must perform a Belgian dunk on Kanter's head today!

Let him know the price of letting Yuan Lu go out to make a fool of himself.

However, when they faced Manchester City with almost all the main players on the court, the rhetoric before the war was completely thrown away.

Especially Everton's centre-back Galloway, when he saw Zhao Jinge standing in the middle of the field kicking off, he immediately fell into the painful memory of the last game.
Throughout the game, Zhao Jinge's performance was still impeccable.

The frontcourt trio of Zhao Jinge, Riyad Mahrez and Sterling found an offensive rhythm from the very beginning of the game and produced a wonderful chemical reaction.

This directly made Everton's defensive counterattack go bankrupt at the root level.

The reason is simple, because Manchester City's offense is too fierce, Everton can't even do a good job of defense, so how can we talk about counterattack!

Everton also tried to steal the ball and launch a counterattack directly, but it was not easy. They couldn't give the ball to their most threatening attack point, that is, Lukaku.

Manchester City started from the striker's stand-by press and continued to the back line, establishing an extremely tight defensive network. Through the two interception lines of the forward and the midfielder, they directly strangled Everton's counterattack before the back line.

Lu Yuanwai spent almost the entire game walking in Manchester City's penalty area.

Now he does not have the ability to retreat and organize and move forward with the ball. Naturally, he can only quietly be a mascot in Manchester City's penalty area, let alone stage a Belgian dunk on Kanter's head!
Lu Yuanwai played for a long time without even seeing a ball, and dunked it!It's not bad if you don't roll yourself into the goal as a ball!
In the No.204 minute of the game, Manchester City relied on the attacking corridor on the right and directly penetrated Everton's left defense.
Kyle Walker took the ball to the bottom, and after Mahrez responded, he sent a through pass.

After Zhao Jinge ate Galloway raw again, he easily scored the ball!
The commentators of the Premier League all talked about Zhao Jinge's "cruelty" in unison, and even the commentators on the scene directly said:
"Manchester City has studied Everton's defensive system thoroughly, and it turns out that as a young player who has just played in the Premier League for half a season, he simply does not have the strength to play against Manchester City.

Everton's coach Martinez should quickly replace this poor boy!His only role on the field is to score goals for our dear Zhao!

He will make Zhao's goal lose some of its gold content!This is simply an unforgivable sin! "

Zhao Jinge's goal put Everton into the same desperate situation as the previous game.

Everton's entire situation began to become chaotic and eventually fragmented. Everton, who had no midfield organization at all, lost to Manchester City with a score of zero to two in the away game without any suspense.

Another three days later, Manchester City ushered in their No.20 opponent in the second round of the Premier League at home, Crystal Palace, the king of London.

Speaking of Crystal Palace, this is already the third time Manchester City have played against it this season. In a clean four-to-zero match, the King of Manchester beat the King of London!
Manchester City continues their undefeated Premier League footsteps!
After this game, Manchester City ushered in a six-day offseason until the three rounds of the No. 23 Premier League match against West Ham United on the evening of January 20.

For the devil's schedule during the winter break of the Premier League, this is simply a gift from God, and it is the best time for all teams to relieve fatigue.

But for the Manchester City players, this less than a week off-season is dispensable,
Except for Zhao Jinge and Joe Hart and a few other players in the team, the rest of Manchester City's main players almost maintain the frequency of one game a week.

After having a rotation comparable to the main players, and convincing most of the players in the locker room,
Guardiola directly maximizes Manchester City's rotation rhythm, and is bound to maintain a perfect state, break through the devil's schedule, and welcome the arrival of powerful enemies in the February schedule.

On the match day of the No.20 third round of the Premier League, at the London Stadium, the game was drawing to a close, and it was about to enter the stoppage time period.

The scoreboard next to the stadium clearly showed that Manchester City led West Ham United [-]-[-], basically securing the victory.

Unless the Hammers can score a goal in the final stage of the game, no one can prevent Manchester City from taking the victory.

It stands to reason that Manchester City's bench at this time should be in a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere, but when the broadcast shot was shown to Guardiola on the sidelines,

All Premier League fans can see that there is no happy expression on Gua Shuai's face!
On the contrary, Guardiola, who frowned, looked unusually bitter.

Not long after the start of the second half of the game, Kompany was injured in a header fight, and Guardiola once again lamented the glass attributes of his captain, and then quickly sent Stones as a replacement.

At this time, the score on the field was Manchester City leading [-]-[-], just when Joe Hart thought he could pick up a clean sheet bonus for nothing.

The poor performances of Stones and Otamendi in the defense directly shattered Joe Hart's bonus dream!

In the 5 minutes of the game, Otamendi made a mistake in the grab, and Payet made a wonderful spike and passed it to his own center Valencia.

Normally speaking, one of the two central defenders must drag the central defender to take care of the opponent's center forward, but Manchester City's two central defenders are all bold and skilled.

Lag back?nonexistent!We are all forward-grabbing central defenders!

Stones's brain became hot, and he directly lost his defensive responsibility as the last link in the defense line except for the goalkeeper, and directly used a fierce steal to face Valencia!
In the face of Stones' uphill grab, Valencia chose to cross the ball to Alexander Song who inserted it. Facing the empty Manchester City penalty area except for Joe Hart, Song Gongming succeeded in turning offside with a kick. A push shot helped West Ham United get back a goal.

Two defenders went up at the same time, one made a mistake, and the other was out of position!
Guardiola suspected that he was on the wrong set. Could it be that the team I coach is not called Manchester City, but Manchester United!
what is happening?Why are Otamendi and Stones better than the other today? !

In fact, Guardiola certainly knows that the combination of the two is not a good choice. The technical characteristics of the two doom them, and they are not the kind of central defenders who complement each other.

That's why Guardiola allowed them to pair up with Kompany and Demichelis, two veterans, one up and one behind, to ensure the stability of Manchester City's defense.

But no matter how incompatible your technical characteristics are, as two first-class central defenders, you won't be able to start the show as soon as you play!

After conceding the ball, there were also some disputes between Otamendi and Stones.

Otamendi wanted Stones not to rob, and obediently stayed behind to wipe his own butt. Stones on the other side thought the same way. Both wanted the other to cover for themselves, but neither of them let who.

Fortunately, Joe Hart dissuaded them in time, so that the two calmed down and continued to play football.

But in the follow-up games, the two still couldn't find the feeling of tacit cooperation, and the two people's ideas have never been unified.

Under such circumstances, Manchester City soon lost the ball again.

After Fernandinho steals the ball in the middle, facing the West Ham player's on-the-spot counterattack, he directly passes the ball back to Otamendi, hoping that he will play the ball in the backcourt.

But facing Valencia's harassment, Otamendi directly played tricks in the backcourt,

A pick pass after a smash was directly intercepted by Payet, who was waiting for an opportunity. Stones immediately rushed up when he saw it, but Payet, who had been on guard, easily dodged it.

The subsequent result was a matter of course. Facing the attacking Joe Hart, Payet easily lobbed and scored!

When the game came to 10 minutes, West Ham unexpectedly equalized the score!

What is this called!A series of operations by the two central defenders directly stunned Guardiola on the sidelines!
This made Guardiola wish he could immediately replace the two crouching dragons and phoenixes on the field.
But at present, Manchester City's bench has no other options for central defenders. Captain Kompany has just been injured, and veteran Demichelis stayed in Manchester directly, and did not bring it over at all.

Guardiola, who thought he would never lack a central defender, finally tasted the familiar feeling after half a month of smooth sailing.

This is really outrageous!purchase!keep buying!I don't believe Guardiola, I can't buy a reliable central defender in Manchester City these days!
At this time in the live broadcast room of Sky Sports, former England legendary striker Shearer was deeply worried about Manchester City's defense:

"As Manchester City's best central defender this season, their captain Kompany is now troubled by injuries, and the second-best central defender Demichelis has stayed in Manchester. Now, except for Stones and Ota Mendy, Guardiola has no choice.

These two guys are an accident that can happen at any time. Mistakes happen to them all the time. As a center forward, I will be very happy to think of playing against these two people. I believe other forwards will also be the same.

There is no problem with their level, but their stability needs to be improved. The combination of two "unstable" defenders has become the central defender combination that forwards most want to face! "

Alan Shearer's evaluation hit the nail on the head. Once the combination of Stones and Otamendi becomes unstable, it is directly comparable to Sterling facing a single-handedly.

It is definitely one of the nightmare combinations in Guardiola's coaching career that can directly anger Guardiola out of a heart attack.

"I can't go on like this anymore, I swear, I will never let the two of them play together again!"

Guardiola looked at his two central defenders, the anger in his eyes was not hidden at all, and he couldn't hide the eyes of someone who wanted to kill himself!

At the critical moment, Zhao Jinge stepped forward again. He received a pass from De Bruyne in the frontcourt, and after passing the opponent's defensive midfielder, he directly cut into West Ham United's penalty area from the side.

Then, in the crosscut facing the three-person double-team, he scored a superstar volley and scored!
In the end, Manchester City relied on the pressure in the midfield to keep the score until the end, beating West Ham United with a score of [-] to [-] in the away game.

Zhao Jinge was also terrified in his heart. He had heard the story of Manchester City's defense against landmines before, but he didn't expect that the partner of these two people would be so unreliable!
Captain, come back quickly!This Otamendi Gastons is really not good!

　There is only so much today, write as much as possible tomorrow.
