Golden Greenery

"Zhuoyang, do you think the Premier League is really not suitable for passing and controlling? Do you think I, my brother, am really in vain?"

"Pep, don't think too much, it's just a game, take your time. Bald men will always shine, don't worry."

Taking advantage of two cities, they lost 2:4 at Goodison Park. The contrast was as big as Qiu Qianren and Qiu Qianzhang. If Zhuo Yang hadn't single-handedly grabbed two goals with his personal ability, even 0:4 would have been a matter of course, and the 50-kilometer away journey home would have been a long one.

In this game, Manchester City had a ball possession rate of 73.44% and compared with 224 data, Manchester City completely won. But except for Zhuoyang, Manchester City completely lost against Everton.

18-year-old Tom Davis was named the man of the match for his perfect performance on both offense and defense, with a post-game rating of 8.

After one game, Davis became a popular candidate for the 2017 European Golden Boy Award in the eyes of the media. January is not over yet.

Pogba in 2013, Sterling in 2014, Martial in 2015, the golden boy in 201, and further back to Isco, Gotze, Balotelli, Pato, Aguero, Fabregas, Messi , Meng Er, Zhuo Yang, Dao Scar.

Not only Davis, Everton's young people generally received high scores. Even the entire team did not score less than 7 points. Schneiderlin, who came off the bench, also scored 7.0, which means "good" in the Premier League.

On the other hand, Manchester City, except for Zhuoyang 8.1, which is not a shame, the others are not higher than these, and they are all below 6.0.

All four of Everton's goals were scored from Manchester City's left side. Toure 5 Stones 5.5, Bravo 5.5.

The head coach doesn't give scores, but Guardiola also lost completely to Koeman. The score is there. Football is a game of winners and losers.

Everton scored 4 goals and Bravo was once again crowned the 'Prince Regent'. As of this game, Bravo has conceded a total of 15 goals in 22 shots on target by opponents in the Premier League.

In addition, the Chilean's overall save success rate is only 55.4%. Among all the starting goalkeepers in the top 20 Premier League this season, only West Brom's Foster (54.8%) has a lower save success rate than him. As a result, all those who complained about Joe Hart came out again.

Retired Manchester City star and former Ireland international goalkeeper Shay Given said: "Joe was treated roughly and harshly at the beginning of the season, but he is still a Manchester City player. Every man must have the courage to admit mistakes, why can't Guardiola Give Joe another chance?"

Wright, who has played for Manchester City twice, also said: "Everyone hopes that Guardiola can bring Joe Hart back this month. This is obviously for the best of everyone."

‘Please bring Joe back! ! ’ Public opinion was boiling for a while, but in fact, the loan agreement signed between Manchester City and Turin did not include a clause that could recall him early in the winter window. Manchester City had no right to ask Hart to return in January.

There is also John Stones. This time he went to his grandma's house. The media joked that he was "in Manchester City but in Everton", which was an outstanding undercover performance. Four goals were conceded, Stones made two direct own-goal assists, and he was a mere spectator twice. With a net worth of 47.5 million pounds, Everton was counting money while laughing until his front teeth fell off.

Because of Stones, the two celebrities even fell out in front of thousands of TV viewers.

Alan Shearer insists Stones is overrated and shouldn't even be in Manchester City's first-team squad.

"Stones has played almost 100 Premier League games, and everyone told me he would become a top player, but what I saw was that he kept making mistakes, one mistake after another, and he didn't do anything at the back. dominance.”

"If it were a young forward, let's talk about me. If I keep making mistakes and wasting opportunities during the game, I will definitely not be qualified to appear in the lineup again.

And I can't complain. "

However, Neville believes that Stones is still a top defender, but he has endured too much pressure in Manchester City, which means Guardiola will not use people.

In the end, the two big guys were so quarreling in the live broadcast room that their faces turned red and their necks were thick. Shearer slapped the table like a "boom boom boom" and Ouchi stamped his feet like a "boom boom boom". In addition, he spoke very fast, and people who don't know I thought this was the B-BOX audition.

.

At the post-match press conference, a reporter asked Guardiola if he would change his style of play. Although Guardiola was tough, he replied: Change his style of play? How about you teach me?

But in fact, Guardiola is also confused about his football philosophy, so he nags in front of Zhuo Yang.

Last summer when he arrived in England, Guardiola had made bold promises to sweep the Premier League. However, both Liverpool and Manchester United's Mourinho warned him at the time, reminding him that the Premier League was completely different from La Liga and the Bundesliga.

Manchester City is not Barcelona and Bayern Munich. Manchester City does not have such a strong dominance in the Premier League. Blue Moon is only a BIG ball in the Premier League that emphasizes directness, high confrontation and high rhythm.

The teams previously coached by Guardiola had never faced a schedule in which they faced strong opponents in consecutive games, let alone a devilish Christmas that shed a layer of skin.

There is no coward in the Premier League. Even if you are obviously much better than him, no team will give up.

The Premier League has more 'track and field' level players, and all teams compete repeatedly for speed, not only to not die but also to not tire.

In 21 rounds of the league, Manchester City conceded the most goals. Now they are sitting in fifth place in the standings, all thanks to the offensive end, scoring 54 goals, ranking first among the 20 princes. Among them, Zhuo Yang contributed 14.

Zhuoyang said: "Pep, don't worry, Manchester City is indeed different from Barcelona and Bayern. If you look carefully one by one, how many players in the same position or with the same attributes can rank in the top ten in football? Let alone the previous ones. Five. Of course, I can."

"The veterans in our team are generally far away from their peak years, and the young players have not yet reached their best level. All of this takes time and you need to adjust slowly."

Why doesn't Guardiola understand that the team is in a roller coaster state, and it is difficult to avoid this situation with veterans and rookies at two ends? The two biggest pitfalls, Stones and Bravo, are representatives of veterans who have passed their peak and young people who have not yet reached their peak.

"Alas - Bravo has regressed too fast... Could it be that in the summer, Joe Hart is really called back?" Guardiola blinked with a sad face.

"Hammer!" Zhuo Yang immediately denied it for him. "It's easy to recall, but who can convince you? Don't say you're right about this, even if you're wrong, you can't accept it right now. You can't eat pigs without Zhang Butcher, let alone a mere Hart? What a good goalkeeper. The sea is gone, let’s talk about it in the summer.”

"Oh my god, I just like to hear you talk. Every sentence you say touches my heart..."

Zhuo Yang put his hand on Guardiola's shoulder and walked and chatted. Looking at him against the backlight of the setting sun, he looked like he was holding his balding son.
