Golden Greenery

What makes Midel slightly disappointed is that her brother-in-law Zhuo Yang did not start today.

The last game in January is the FA Cup round of 32 showdown with Crystal Palace. The 11th Cup is still claimed to be the most important event in England, but in fact, the teams here are faced with the huge economic and honorary interests of the league. , there has already been a choice.

After 22 rounds of the Premier League, Manchester City is ranked fifth, 4 points behind fourth-place Arsenal, and more than 10 points behind the top two Chelsea and Liverpool. The only way left is to return to the top four first and maintain qualifications for next season's Champions League.

The league has entered the final critical stage, and the Champions League will also begin the thrilling knockout rounds in February. Therefore, in this FA Cup, Guardiola no longer deliberately talks harshly, but is honest even when facing fellow Premier League teams. Really adjust the formation and examine substitute players.

Zhuoyang, De Bruyne, Aguero, Zabaleta, Bravo, these regular main players are all on the bench today, as well as Debich, who is new to the game. If the situation is right, he will appear in the second half. .

Caballero, Delph, Jesus and others started the game. As this difficult January is coming to an end, Guardiola is slightly relieved that the old injured Kompany has recovered from his injury and is wearing the armband today. Started.

In the 12th round of the Premier League last November, it was at this venue and this Crystal Palace team that Kompany, who had just recovered from his injury, was injured in a collision with his teammate Bravo in the penalty area in the first half, and he stopped again in one breath.

The return of the old injured Kompany is of great significance to the much-criticized Manchester City defense. In addition, the newly injured Fernando has also recovered. Now Manchester City only has Gundogan who is retired for the season. The sentimental Guardiola had the urge to burst into tears when he looked at the vast army of simpletons under his command.

In that league game more than two months ago, Manchester City relied on Toure's brace to narrowly win the Crystal Palace 2:1. However, Crystal Palace is not qualified to be frivolous. After 22 rounds of the Premier League, they only have 1 point and relegation is a knife hanging on their throat, so they will also play in the FA Cup with a mixed lineup today.

At the end of last year, coach Alan Pardew resigned, and the current head coach of Crystal Palace is the famous British coach ‘Big Sam’ Allardyce.

He has been involved in British football all his life, and there are almost no obstacles for him to set the stage, but he is such a veteran, but he still can't escape the plot, and he can turn over in the gutter at any time.

After last year's European Championship, veteran coach Hodgson stepped down as England head coach and Allardyce took over. However, just two months later, he was fired by the Football Association after leading the team in a friendly match.

The reason was that he met with a businessman from Thailand. Allardyce was like a gangster boss. He talked about how to exploit loopholes in the rules of the Football Association and the Premier League. He also said that he could go to Asia to provide services to those who were interested in exploiting the rules of the Football Association. Those who take classes will be paid £400,000.

This is actually nothing. The British ancestors invented the "Spirit of Contract" just to exploit loopholes in the rules. The British are also the ancestors who are the best at doing this kind of thing in the world. The only problem is that the so-called Thai businessman is pretending to be a reporter from the Daily Mail. This is another standard "fishing surveillance".

After the secretly filmed video was exposed, it caused an uproar, and the Football Association directly made Allardyce the shortest-lived coach in history. But do you think Big Sam is a fuel saver? He warned the Football Association with a big mouth: It's not okay to just let me go. I will really make these inside stories and loopholes in the rules public.

Therefore, the Football Association had no choice but to give him a breakup fee of 1 million pounds, which was also a hush money. Laojianghu was Laojianghu.

Big Sam's biggest character flaw is his extreme love of money. The last coach who was 'fished' was the Swedish Eriksson. He resigned and went to China, so the British media thought that Allardyce would also go to the Chinese Super League to make a lot of money. , but unexpectedly turned around and came to the Crystal Palace.

Apart from his love for money, Allardyce is also a well-known relegation expert.

For such a well-rounded and experienced British coach, one would know from the bottom of his head what kind of tactics he would adopt to face the powerful Manchester City.

Crystal Palace's first threatening shot did not come until the 22nd minute. Li Qinglong passed the ball and Belgian black and hard high center Benteke headed the ball into the penalty area with great force. But Caballero is not a 'regent', and he put a stop to Crystal Palace's wishful thinking with a beautiful side dive.

Before this, Manchester City had already scored 5 goals, but Wales international goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey's performance was not inferior to Caballero's.

In the 25th minute, Jesus dribbled the ball through the middle, but Crystal Palace French midfielder Mathieu Flamini passed the ball past him and knocked him to the ground with an iron sweep.

It is Zhuo Yang’s old friend, old teammate, old friend, and wealth partner Flamini. He came to the Crystal Palace this season.

Because of the great success of 'GZF Biochemicals', Zhuo Yang and Flamini are now the only two professional players who can peek into the 'Forbes Ranking'. And because of such a strong net worth, the two are truly passionate about their passion. Football people are extremely pure.

However, with the same love, Zhuoyang and Flamini still treat football in slightly different ways.

A dream of life and death made Zhuoyang still strive to climb to the top of football after his return, while Flamini really plays football and generates electricity for love, just a little electricity is enough.

Flamini was known for his versatility in the midfield when he debuted. After moving to Arsenal, he could even get along with Cesc Fabregas for a while. But his sign of being immortal was too bright, and he was soon trained by Professor Wenger to become 'Makelele II'.

After moving to AC Milan on a free transfer, Flamini is still the best runner in the team. Not to mention Zhuo Yang, Jiaba Ye Tuso is a scumbag compared to him. But it was also during this period that his football talent was completely imprisoned. Basically, apart from being able to run and grab, there was not much left in the end.

In 2013, Flamini's contract with Milan expired and he returned to Arsenal as a free agent. The first year was okay, but the next two years were basically soy sauce, and he lost the opportunity to participate in the World Cup in Brazil.

Of course, Flamini doesn't care too much. He is indeed playing football now just for fun.

Flamini, whose contract expired last summer, became a free agent again and had not found a new club until September. Zhuoyang, who had joined Manchester City, asked him if he was interested in coming over to play together, but Flamini declined after considering it.

You know best what kind of football you play. What kind of team is Manchester City? What kind of coach is Guardiola? Although with the advantage of being a free agent and the low salary requirement, signing with Manchester City is not a big problem, but if you go there, you will definitely have no ball to play, so why bother?

Looking back, Flamini joined Crystal Palace. At least he could sit on the bench as a substitute and occasionally start a game, just like today.

Like Zhuo Yang, Flamini's career has also been 'wandering', but Zhuo Yang's total net worth has long become a record, while Flamini's total value is still zero. Give me freedom or give me death, and my whole life will be spent on free transfers.

In the 43rd minute of the first half, Jesus threw away Flamini during Manchester City's counterattack and sent a direct pass to Sterling in front. Happy Boy scored from the near corner with a single shot.

It's not easy. There are no easy teams in the Premier League. During the halftime break, Zhuoyang and Debich both stayed on the field to warm up, and Guardiola instructed them to go up and continue chewing in the second half.
