Golden Greenery

In the locker room before the game, Kompany asked Zhuo Yang a question: Why is the Chinese New Year not fixed?

Zhuo Yang knew what he meant, and he was asking why the Spring Festival was sometimes in January and sometimes in February.

It is true that only Kompany in the Manchester City team is aware of and cares about this issue, because as the team captain, he will congratulate the Chinese people on behalf of the team every year before the game that is closest to the Chinese New Year for several years.

Zhuoyang told Kompany: Even though the Chinese use the Western Gregorian calendar, they still use their own traditional lunar calendar. The two calendars do not overlap in date, and the Spring Festival is the first day of the new year in the Chinese lunar calendar.

Therefore, Kompany, who is very easy to learn despite his age, raised a second question: What is the specific difference between the lunar calendar and the Gregorian calendar?

This question is difficult to answer, not because Zhuo Yang doesn’t understand it, but because he is afraid that Kompany will not understand it. Zhuo Yang needs to answer it as concisely and clearly as possible in a way that Team Kong can understand.

——The Western calendar is based on the movement of the sun, and the Chinese lunar calendar is based on the movement of the moon.

"Oh -" Vincent Kompany made a look of realization. Regardless of whether he really understood it or not, it is not appropriate to discuss further at this time. Kompany has a high emotional intelligence.

Sterling was just a bit uninteresting. He was like a child who was full of curiosity but couldn't find any ideas. "Then why not make a calendar according to the stars?"

After asking, you can also tilt your head to show that you really want to know, rather than making jokes.

Zhuo Yang also answered seriously: "Because I'm afraid they will fight. You know Rahim, there are many stars in the sky. Whoever you choose or not will easily make other stars jealous."

Everyone heartily applauded Zhuo Yang for his wit, and the locker room was filled with joy and peace. Amid laughter, Guardiola said to Zhuo Yang: Happy New Year.

The Spring Festival of 2017 came early, and today is the Chinese New Year. Manchester City wears special jerseys with the names on the back in simplified Chinese.

Fortunately, the longest name for a Manchester City player today is only four characters, and there is no such long list as Chelsea Azpilicueta or Tottenham defender Alderweireld today. Otherwise, it would not be beautiful and would not be printed.

Fortunately, Fernando is still suspended, otherwise Fernandinho would be quite sloppy, and Fernando would not be very good-looking.

"Happy New Year." When shaking hands to choose sides, Hugo Lloris also said congratulations to Zhuo Yang.

Zhuoyang has never played against Tottenham, but he is an old rival with Lloris. During the years when he played for Lyon, Zhuoyang met many times in the Champions League. Not to mention the friendly match on Reunion Island in 2010 and the 1/8 match between China and France in the 2014 World Cup. Lloris is still angry when he thinks about these two losses.

I'm not angry with the Chinese team, I'm angry with my teammates on the national team who didn't live up to expectations.

Hugo Lloris is one year younger than Zhuo Yang and is considered the most underrated goalkeeper today. Compared to other top goalkeepers, Lloris's star power and fame seem to be much lower.

It's not that Lloris deliberately kept a low profile, the main reason is that he doesn't have a professional agent and has been worrying about his own affairs. Of course, he doesn't have a publicity team. Otherwise, he would not have inexplicably missed out on Arsenal who paid a higher price in the summer of 2013.

However, it was a blessing in disguise. At least Lloris had a good life at Tottenham.

To be polite, less than 30 seconds after referee Andre Marriner blew the opening whistle, Zhuo Yang suddenly tested Lloris with a cold arrow outside the penalty area.

The quality of the shot was very high, and the football went straight into the blind corner, but Lloris also made an extremely wonderful save, and his character was revealed by flying and turning away the goal with one palm.

Pochettino is not a bold and passionate head coach. Generally speaking, I feel that he wants to take the path of a handsome coach and can be more pretentious than Guardiola on the sidelines. But Zhuoyang's shot immediately made Uncle Bo roar, roaring at Wimmer.

Belgian defender Jan Verhentong is absent due to injury. Today, Uncle Po arranged for 24-year-old Austrian Kevin Wimmer to start.

Wimmer came from Austria's domestic youth training and became a popular little monster in the 2 manager game. In 2012, Wimmer moved to Cologne, which was relegated to the Bundesliga 2, but he did not become the main force in the defense until the second season. Cologne was promoted to the Bundesliga again after two years of decline.

With a year of good performance in the Bundesliga, Wimmer moved to Tottenham in 2015. It's just that he has not been reused here and has always been a defensive substitute.

In the Austrian national team at the European Championship last summer, Wimmer was also a pure substitute. He only played 3 minutes in the three group matches. In the game against Portugal, he went up to defend Ronaldo twice and ended up with a somersault.

Pochettino sent Wimmer up just to let him follow Zhuo Yang and do his best to prevent Zhuo Yang from being like Ronaldo in the 0:0 match between Portugal and Austria last year. Nothing was accomplished.

What he requires is that the whole court should be closely guarded regardless of offense and defense, regardless of situation, region, time, with or without the ball, and he is not allowed to move more than 1.5 meters away from Zhuo Yang.

Maybe it was because he hadn't fully entered the state at the beginning, or maybe he didn't expect Zhuoyang to be eager to fire so early. Anyway, Weimer didn't follow up just now, which made Uncle Bo furious.

Next, Weimer did not dare to relax for a moment, and he and Zhuo Yang became conjoined hand in hand.

Close defense is common, but with such close contact, even though Zhuo Yang has seen a lot, he has not met many. Generally speaking, shadow marking can only be used when the defensive target attacks, but Zhuo Yang believes that if he ran off the field to take a dump at this time, Wimmer would squat next to him.

In the 2010 World Cup group stage in South Africa, China beat Cameroon 8:3. This is how Eto'o, the cheetah, was almost driven crazy by Rong Hao. It was exactly the same.

It's a pity for Rong Hao and Deng Shuxiang. They are geniuses, at least rare talents in Chinese football, but due to impetuosity and injuries, they have been away from the national team for a long time, and have been mediocre in the Chinese Super League for many years.

.

"Hey bro, what's your name."

"Wimmer. Kevin Wimmer."

"Where did you play football before?"

"Cologne."

"Oh~, Bolti is my buddy, how is your relationship with him?"

It was rare for someone to stay so close to him during a game. The classic talkative Zhuo Yang had been holding back for too long, pretending for too long, and even turned on the chat mode on the field.

"I haven't met Bolti. When I went to Cologne, he had already come to Arsenal."

"What, Arsenal?...Oh, by the way, Bolti came to Arsenal." Zhuoyang scratched his head: "Strange, why didn't I see him last time?"

"What about that? The winter I came to Tottenham, Bolti went to Inter Milan again. It happened the year before."

"Oh...oh, that's not bad." Zhuo Yang was still dreaming at that time.

"This year Porti is in Türkiye, Galatasaray."

Zhuo Yang: "..."

Weimer despises Zhuo Yang: He also calls him a buddy, but he doesn’t even know where his buddy is.

Zhuo Yang was a little distracted. Prince Podolski of Cologne's Porti and King Zhuo Yang of Madiburg were both in the Bundesliga back then.

It didn't matter that he was in a daze, but he directly missed the pass from Ding Ding, causing Manchester City to miss a great opportunity to pass through the Tottenham defense from the top of the arc.
