Football: The king of midfield, Guardiola is crying with envy

Soon, the half-time ended.

After looking at the 0-4 score on the big screen, Chen Chen on the bench shook his head, then stood up and walked back to the locker room.

The collapse of Southampton in the 23rd round came earlier than before.

In the previous fifth round, the two teams had a first-round confrontation.

In that game, Chen Chen was absent due to injury.

In that match, Chen Chen did not play, and today, Chen Chen did not play.

Regardless of whether Chen Chen will play in the second half, at least now, Southampton was indeed beaten 4-0 by Manchester City without Chen Chen!

Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu in the studio were also surprised.

Obviously, Manchester City's starting players were weaker on paper than in the first round, so how could Southampton lose more miserably today?

That game ended 0-0, and they were beaten four goals in the first half today?!

In fact, if you look at Southampton's performance in the past two months, you will understand.

From November to now, the Saints have won 3 of the 11 league games. The offensive end can be said to be useless, and the defensive end is simply invisible in every game.

It is said that Manchester United's defense is very abstract, that is because their comparison object is other big6 members.

For Saints fans, it is good to have such a team. At least the team can successfully stay in the league, and the fans don't have to worry.

Of course, what makes everyone nervous is that in the 2024/25 season, Manchester United is really going to dive into the relegation zone...

The second half changed sides and fought again.

Southampton changed three people in a row.

Manchester City did not change, Guardiola was still very patient.

In the 57th minute of the game, Guardiola finally made the first substitution adjustment.

Jesus came on as a substitute and Alvarez came off.

The physical condition of the little spider is still a little worse. The intensity of the Argentine Super League where River Plate is located is not as high as the Premier League. He still needs to adapt.

61st minute

Jesus, who came off the bench, scored a wonderful header.

It was at this time that Guardiola chose to make substitutions again.

McCarty and Gravenberch left the field, and Chen Chen and Fernandez came on.

This is to change to 4231.

Fernandez and Rodri partnered to sweep the backcourt, giving Chen Chen a perfect and worry-free defense, allowing Chen Chen to charge forward with peace of mind.

Chen Chen's appearance was the last straw that broke the camel's back for Southampton, and the Saints' defense collapsed across the board!

In the 72nd minute, Chen Chen, who came off the bench, scored a difficult long shot!

Manchester City 6-0!

In the 86th minute.

Chen Chen assisted Fernandez to push the ball.

Manchester City 7-0!

Seeing the team collapse like this, Saints fans didn't have the heart to continue watching.

Southampton fans in the stands began to leave one after another.

After Fernandez scored, Guardiola used up the last two substitutions.

Stones and McCarty left the field, and Ake and 19-year-old Delap came on.

In the final stage, Manchester City did not score any more goals, and the score was fixed at 7-0.

Saints coach Jones breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately Manchester City did not continue to score.

If it was 8-0 or 9-0, he might have been fired.

Of course, with the current situation of leading the team, it is estimated that Welshman Nathan Jones will not be able to lead a full season.

It is very regrettable that there have been three 9-0 games in the Premier League, two of which were related to Southampton.

They were Leicester City's away victory over Southampton in the 19/20 season, and Manchester United's home victory over Southampton in the 20/21 season.

Among the big score tragedies in the Premier League in the past 20 years, Manchester City has created the most tragedies, two 7-0 and three 6-0.

It is also worth mentioning that Manchester City's five tragic games were played in one season.

They won the championship in three of the five seasons in which they created the largest score in a single season, and won the championship in all three of the most recent seasons.

It seems that Manchester City, which has created many league tragedies this season, will continue to win the championship as expected.

After the game, Chen Chen returned to Manchester with the team.

He will stay at home for one night, and then take a flight to Shanghai the next day.

As the Chinese New Year is approaching, the plane is basically full of Chinese people who return to China for the New Year, including many international students and some business people.

Everyone knows Chen Chen, and therefore, Chen Chen's appearance caused quite a stir.

In the end, with the help of the flight attendants, the passengers on the plane finally calmed down.

Of course, the help of the crew is not "free". Before getting off the plane, Chen Chen took a photo with the captain and the flight attendants.

Then Chen Chen was invited to visit the cockpit.

In the cockpit, Chen Chen and the captain took another photo..

Chen Chen's handsomeness as a Chinese-British hybrid made him popular among the flight attendants. When Chen Chen got off the plane, two younger flight attendants even slipped a note to Chen Chen secretly.

No need to think about it, it must be the contact information.

In response, Chen Chen just smiled and said nothing.

As for whether to contact or not?

Let's see what will happen in the future.jpg

Mercedes' party will be held on the 27th, and Migu's will be on the 28th.

So, Chen Chen seems to have come a little early.

Of course, the Premier League team in Shanghai will probably say, "No, you're just in time!"

The Premier League and the English Football Association have been trying to increase the influence of the Premier League in China in the past two years. This year, they took advantage of the Chinese Super League off-season to organize an event, which is connected with the Shanghai Football Association and major Chinese Super League clubs.

The name is "2022·England Youth Training Tour".

As the name suggests, it is a story about a group of young players.

Originally, the Premier League company was going to find a few foreign players who played in the Chinese Super League and some Premier League team celebrities to support the event.

As a result, hey! Chen Chen is here!

To be honest, with Chen Chen, a superstar, here, do we need to invite other people?

Of course, other guests will also appear, after all, the liquidated damages are not small.

On the same day, the Premier League company reached a cooperation agreement with Chen Chen in the hotel.

The Premier League officials are willing to spend money, and the amount they gave Chen Chen is really quite large.

After signing the contract, Chen Chen understood why big-name players would choose to participate in such activities after retirement. After all, it would be a bastard not to make money!

As long as the money is in place, the former president of the United States can come out to "receive guests"!

On the 24th and 25th, Chen Chen participated in the activities of the Premier League company.

Then on the 27th, Chen Chen had a rare day off. Taking this opportunity, Chen Chen visited the Magic City and appreciated the customs and humanities of the Magic City.

He went out carelessly, without a hat or a mask, but wearing a pair of color-changing sunglasses, accompanied by an assistant and several bodyguards.

So, it was hard not to notice Chen Chen in this outfit!

For a while, all of Shanghai was seeing Chen Chen!

Wherever he went, the location broadcast on the social platform followed him.

In the morning, he was at the Bund, and immediately there were photos of Chen Chen enjoying the breeze on the Bund on Douyin and Weibo.

In the afternoon, he was at Disney, and immediately there were photos and videos of Chen Chen interacting with Donald Duck.

In the evening, he had dinner at Huang Gongzi on Tianping Road, and a rich woman also took a close-up photo and uploaded it to the social platform.

It is worth mentioning that although this Huang Gongzi called himself Huang Gongzi, he was actually a classical beauty.

Therefore, when Chen Chen came here to eat, many fans and social media surfers said that Chen Chen really understood life.

Talented men and beautiful women, delicious food!

Absolute!
