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

Chapter 200

Manchester City went to the London Stadium to play a League Cup match with West Ham United.

The final result was that Manchester City advanced.

So in this round of competition at Etihad, West Ham United came with the idea of ​​revenge.

No wonder Moyes was so tough in the pre-match press conference.

At 4 pm, Etihad Stadium.

Moyes fielded a full lineup.

The team's recent good momentum has indeed brought Moyes endless reverie.

The old Scottish man has only won the Community Shield with Manchester United once, but not the league.

So Moyes is really greedy for the honor of the Premier League champion, and what he said at the press conference was not a joke!

In the player tunnel, the starting players on both sides have lined up.

Moyes walked out of the player tunnel with Guardiola one after the other.

Before entering their respective benches, Moyes and Guardiola had a friendly handshake.

The old Scottish man was smiling and asking Guardiola about his well-being throughout the whole process!

Why?

Because Chen Chen did not start! He was happy!

If Chen Chen was on the field, the difficulty of winning this game would be very high, so high that Moyes himself did not have the confidence to win.

Fortunately, Chen Chen was sitting on the bench, and the Hammers did not have no chance!

On the Manchester City bench, Chen Chen followed the captain Fernandinho and others to take their seats.

Soon, the starting players of both sides walked out of the player tunnel with the little ball boy.

The first one was Gundogan.

Today, the German will be the captain of Manchester City on the field.

Guardiola arranged a 433 formation.

Polo King Mahrez appeared in the center position, and Foden, B席, Palmer and others did not work well as center forwards, so Guardiola did not continue to work.

Yesterday, Guardiola said that the team is seeking potential winter window player transfers, and today there are a lot of news about Manchester City's new aid on the Internet.

In less than a day, the Internet was full of related news and discussions.

True and false, false and true.

It is said that the Chinese press is very humorous, but it is actually the same in England.

After all, everyone wants to eat traffic, no matter whether it is true or not, this is all money!

In the Etihad Stadium, snowflakes are floating in the sky, and the temperature is very low, with a real-time temperature of minus 1 degree.

But this can't wipe out the enthusiasm of the fans. Today, the Etihad has an attendance rate of nearly 90%.

After the players on both sides took their positions on the field, some careful fans discovered that the Blue Moon players on the field today all wore the latest PUMA sneakers.

The name of the sneakers is [Face the Future].

Translated as [Facing the Future].

This FTF series has a total of six colors.

Originally it was said to be five, but one was added later.

Chen Chen is also wearing this pair of sneakers, the color is moon blue and white.

Didn't PUMA say before that it would release a joint model with Chen Chen?

It's almost done, just waiting for Chen Chen to try the shoes and give some suggestions, and then shoot the related advertisements.

The name of the shoes is [Discover the Future 18].

Translated as [Discover the Future 18].

Well, PUMA can't get over the topic of "future".

Actually, if you think about it carefully, the theme of "future" is indeed a good choice.

Because Chen Chen is very young and will definitely have a bright future, the theme of "future" is still very suitable for Chen Chen.

However, it should be noted that the number of this pair of shoes is 18, which means the No. 18 jersey.

Manchester City officially announced that it will listen to any team's offer for Sterling. In fact, Sterling's No. 7 will be vacant.

But no one knows whether Sterling will leave. You can't just make a batch of "Future 7" and wait for Sterling to leave, right?

So "Future 18" should be launched as soon as possible and enter the mass production stage directly.

When Sterling really leaves in the winter window, Manchester City can give the No. 7 jersey to Chen Chen, and then Puma can go full steam ahead to manufacture the DTF7 series.

Don't think Puma will lose money.

At that time, it is possible that "Future 18" will be more valuable than "Future 7", and the collection value is not low.

Changing jersey numbers in the winter window is nothing new.

In the past few days, Manchester United coach Rangnick felt that the team's forwards were not strong enough, that is, Martial was not strong enough. The German coach is seeking to take his No. 9 away and give it to Haaland who may come to Old Trafford!

Then Martial will definitely not agree!

Martial said directly, I won't give it, and besides, Haaland may not come.

This winter window, not only Manchester City but also Manchester United have made offers to Haaland.

However, Haaland's father said that he would give priority to Manchester City. After all, the oldHaaland was born in Manchester City, so there is no reason for his son to go to the rival in the same city.

So Martial said later, if you take off this No. 9, let Haaland wear it forever, don't give it to me!

This was also regarded by the media as the beginning of Rangnick's loss of control of the locker room.

Manchester United will fall into a locker room farce again.

At the Etihad Stadium, the game officially started under the bright lights.

B席 appeared in the left midfield position, replacing Chen Chen.

But to be honest, his offensive organization effect is not as good as Chen Chen.

It was not until the eleventh minute of the game that B席 sent a threatening pass!

Mahrez took the ball and shot it!

It missed the post.

Then, Manchester City, who was the first to enter the state, began to bombard the West Ham United goal.

But every time it was a move away.

In the 37th minute of the game.

The Hammers had an excellent counterattack opportunity!

Soucek assisted Jamaican striker Antonio to score a goal!

At the Etihad Stadium, West Ham United opened the scoring!

The Hammers fans who traveled with the team were excited!

First reversed and defeated Liverpool, and then led Manchester City, could it be said!

West Ham United fans fell into endless reverie!

If this game is really won, buy some players in the winter window, then there will be a lot to do in the second half of the season!

Unfortunately, the brainstorming of West Ham United fans did not last too long.

In the 42nd minute.

Sterling assisted Mahrez to score a goal.

The score came to 1-1.

In the 45+2nd minute.

Gundogan's pass-like shot flew directly into the net, and Polish goalkeeper Fabianski had no time to react!

The screams and cheers at the scene will not disappear, it will only shift.

Looking at the score of 1-2, West Ham United fans were stunned and stood there in disbelief.

The fans of the home team Manchester City waved their hands happily!

Moyes on the sidelines was speechless.

At this moment, Moyes's desire to coach a giant club reached its peak.

At least the giant club players won't make so many mistakes!

The second half started.

West Ham United's No. 3 left back Cresswell and attacking midfielder Benrahma, who performed very mediocrely in the first half, were replaced by Lanzini and Cao Far.

Manchester City made a substitution adjustment.

Guardiola asked Chen Chen to replace B Seat.

Before the halftime break, Chen Chen left the locker room before his teammates and came to the side of the court to warm up.

So at the beginning of the second half, Chen Chen could run up without warming up.

After coming on the court, Chen Chen mainly attacked from the left.

Mainly because Sterling was in good shape today, giving him the ball could be said to be twice the result with half the effort.

51st minute.

Chen Chen made a straight pass, and Sterling succeeded in getting offside.

The British star rushed in and pushed the ball into the near corner.

Sterling scored twice!

The score came to 3-1!

Then in the 54th minute.

After Chen Chen changed direction continuously, he passed the ball to Gundogan who was in the middle.

The German raised his leg and shot from a distance!

It was useless even if Fabianski guessed the direction correctly!

4-1!

Bernardo Silva's performance was not very outstanding today, while Chen Chen was still as good as ever.

I believe that after today, fans from Portugal and fans of B Seat will not say that Guardiola is too partial to Chen Chen, so he should just play as a substitute.

After all, Chen Chen played as a substitute for less than ten minutes and assisted to score twice. Who can compare with this?
