Football: God-level striker, all teammates lie down

In the fifth round of the Premier League, Manchester City challenged Crystal Palace away.

Compared with the other teams in London, Crystal Palace is indeed a complete soft persimmon.

In recent years, it has even been relegated to the English Championship, which is really disappointing.

The fans of Crystal Palace are completely different from those of Everton.

Manchester City went to Goodison Garden and was scolded by Everton fans.

The fans of Crystal Palace are not so extreme and difficult to deal with.

In the stands, they kept clapping and cheering for their team, but did not boo the away players.

This made Zhao Yi have a good impression of the fans of this team.

Crystal Palace also played very hard in this game. Facing Manchester City, which ranked first, the players of the whole team were full of energy.

Crystal Palace's tactical play is very simple, similar to Everton. It is more concise than Everton.

Everton has the little monster Lukaku.

Crystal Palace has the London Zaha.

(Note, Hazard is the first London Zaha, and Zaha is the first London Zaha)

At the beginning of the game, Crystal Palace almost took advantage of the counterattack opportunity and scored a goal.

Unfortunately, Zak's shot missed the goal post.

Joe Hart could not save this ball. If it was a few centimeters off, he might have hit the goal post.

Manchester City's 3241 tactics also struggled against Crystal Palace.

The reason is simple. Crystal Palace has a stronger counterattack ability than Watford.

Manchester City's defenders are good, but they are still a little bit worse at playing three central defenders.

This is a headache for Guardiola.

The offensive players in the frontcourt can use their talents and ball intelligence to quickly form a tacit understanding with their teammates.

And the players he bought are all very talented in ball intelligence, so it is easy to play well.

The backcourt players are different. Any positioning error may cause serious problems.

The defense needs more tacit training and competition.

The three-back and four-back systems are constantly changing, and the requirements for players are very high.

It cannot be compensated by talent and basic skills.

In fact, when Guardiola used the 3241 tactics for the first time against Chelsea, Manchester City had a big accident.

It's just that Chelsea is different from Crystal Palace. They are the defending champions, and the players still have a strong sense of self-esteem. They didn't just defend and counterattack.

Therefore, they gave Manchester City a lot of opportunities.

If they really played according to Mourinho's tactics, Manchester City might have been beaten to pieces.

But Crystal Palace is different.

They are very low-key, just defending, and then waiting for an opportunity to counterattack. Manchester City's three defenders will also be difficult to adapt to Zaha's rush.

If Manchester City does not improve its defense, it will encounter big problems when it encounters some strong teams that learn to play like Crystal Palace in the future.

So although Manchester City has a brilliant record now, Guardiola knows that once it reaches the Champions League, the 3241 tactics will be finished.

And their first game in the Champions League is against Juventus, the best defensive team in Europe.

Guardiola looked at the situation on the field and was already thinking about the Champions League.

And this game, because of Crystal Palace's targeted play, it was indeed not easy for Manchester City to win.

2:1.

Manchester City won the game without any danger thanks to goals from Aguero and Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi and Aguero both assisted each other. Both of them scored one goal and one assist.

Although the relationship between Aguero and Zhao Yi was very delicate at the beginning of the season, with the efforts of Zhao Yi, the relationship between Aguero and Guardiola eased.

This also made the relationship between Aguero and Zhao Yi very harmonious.

Now in the whole Manchester City, the most attractive combination is Zhao Yi and Aguero.

Demichelis, who had been waiting for a collision between Aguero and Zhao Yi, was extremely disappointed.

At the beginning of the season, Demichelis instigated Aguero to deal with Zhao Yi, but now... things are not going as planned.

After the incident of liking 272 posts, Demichelis has been half-abandoned by Guardiola. Now Demichelis has offended Zhao Yi, and his relationship with Aguero has taken a sharp turn for the worse. He is basically not far from leaving the team.

……

After the match with Crystal Palace, Manchester City won five consecutive Premier League games.

Zhao Yi has raised his passing attribute to 95.

What he is most looking forward to now is the first Champions League match against Juventus!

The Champions League is a curse for Manchester City.

In the past few seasons, Manchester City also had a time when the league was advancing rapidly and finally won the championship.

But in the European arena, Manchester City is simply terrible.

They even had an embarrassing moment when they failed to qualify for the Champions League group after winning the Premier League.

This is also the point that Manchester United fans can attack Manchester City unscrupulously.

Even if Manchester City can beat Manchester United to win the championship in the league, Manchester City is still not as good as Manchester United in the Champions League.

After Guardiola took over Manchester City, he made drastic reforms to the team.

This first Champions League match is obviously the top priority.

Manchester City needs this game to prove itself, to prove that it is not an expert in internal wars and a layman in external wars.

And Zhao Yi also needs to show a good performance to prove himself.

The stronger the league, the more harshly they will be scolded if they perform poorly in the Champions League.

The only one in Manchester City who doesn't need to prove himself in the first Champions League game is Guardiola.

Before the game, the media naturally had high expectations for Manchester City, which performed well in the league this season.

"After spending 300 million euros in the summer window, it's time for Manchester City to prove themselves!"

"Can Manchester City break the Champions League curse and advance to the quarterfinals this year?"

"Super Zhao has become the most talked-about and popular supernova in the Premier League. Can he continue his magical performance in the Champions League?"

"If Manchester City loses to Juventus, this season's summer transfer window new signings will be a failure!"

"I hope Manchester City will not continue to be arrogant. It’s time to prove themselves!"

It can be said that among Manchester City players, except Zhao Yi, other players have���Nervous.

Especially the veterans of the team like Aguero and Kompany.

Manchester City's performance in the Champions League has been lagging.

The crazy winning streak in the league has made Manchester City players full of worries about the first Champions League.

Once they lose, there will inevitably be a public criticism, crazy ridicule and cyber violence.

Only Zhao Yi was eager to fight and full of joy.

Not only because it was his first time to play in the Champions League, but also because he got a card with full confrontation attributes.

He can pull his physical confrontation to 100!

In the Champions League, he wants to knock the two old Juventus defenders into Alzheimer's disease!
