v4 Chapter 4: The defeat of caramel mint tea

   22 John Stones is the man Guardiola asked Manchester City to buy anyway this summer.

Three years ago, Stones transferred from Barnsley to Everton, worth only 3 million, but only two years later, last summer Chelsea finally insured Everton as high as 40 million, but Everton did not agree. .

   By this year, Manchester City's psychological price is also 40 million, but Everton, who has changed to a rich boss, no longer depends on selling people for a living. They value talents more. Stones has become Everton's not for sale.

   But in the end, £48 million was sold. Guardiola got his wish. As the second most valuable defender in the history of the Premier League, Stones was also pinned by Manchester City.

Let’s not talk about the game that has already passed away. In the 9th round of the 2016-17 Premier League season, Manchester City played against the'Saint' Southampton at home. In the 27th minute of the first half, Stones received a return pass from Fei Bird before the penalty area. , First turned his head and looked at the teammate Kompany on the inside, and then at Gundogan who was interspersed with the response.

   So, Kompany moved his position to the premise.

   Stones passed the football back to Kompany in the original position.

   This behavior is analogous to framing, and it is also equivalent to throwing in the enemy.

The alert Southampton forwards Nathan Redmond and Kompany formed a perfect crossover against offside, and received Stones's'fantasy pass' behind him, and then easily passed the hurried Bravo. , Push an empty goal. Stones and Kompany chased into the net like two swallows in the forest, but failed to stop the ball.

   0:1, Manchester City fell behind so easily at home under Stones' ‘sell’.

   The infatuated Guardiola continued to experiment with his three-back vision in this game. Captain Kompany started for the first time in the season, partnered with Stones and Kolarov, and Aguero returned to the starting lineup.

   On the third day after being battered by Barcelona at 0:4, Manchester City said NO to the losing streak with the theoretically strongest lineup. Of course, Zhuo Yang is still recovering from the injury. His heel no longer hurts, and it doesn't hurt to stamp hard, but the team doctor still hasn't given permission to participate, so he is not in the'strongest formation'.

   A sad return error by Guardiola Stones, who can be regarded as the core of Manchester City's defense, put the team behind for the fifth consecutive game.

   Maybe Stones is still young, he is 22 years old and he is allowed to make mistakes, and he has never lacked the willingness to make up for it.

   4 minutes after losing the ball, Southampton Austin defended De Bruyne fouled and Manchester City got a free kick from the front court close to the sideline.

   Tintin made a diagonal pass, Stones outflanked the back post to score. Before he could celebrate and let go, Kratenberg's whistle rang and the goal was invalidated.

From the slow-motion playback point of view, after Tintin's free kick left the foot, Aguero was in an offside position at the front point and did not reach it. Stones at the back point was not offside, but Kratenberg ruled that Aguero was interfering in an offside position. Goalkeeper. He is the master on the court, and the master has the final say.

   Southampton’s Dutch centre-back Fergil van Dijk is 25 years old and he is in maturity.

   Van Dijk is the defensive legacy left by Southampton’s former head coach Koeman. When he went to Everton this summer, Koeman wanted to take Van Dyke with him, but Southampton didn’t give him that face.

Coman was succeeded by the famous French coach Claude Pierre, who led Lille’s rise to the top three in the Ligue 1 team, and Fort Madi, who played against Zhuo Yang in the UEFA Cup and snatched 14 from Uncle Slag. The Pierre of Hazard.

  Traditional French coaches value defense very much, and Pierre is no exception. Van Dyke has become the Saint's defensive core here.

   Van Dyke is said to be the "Five Generations of Hua". His five generations of ancestors were ChinFoSieeuw, a Hakka who went to Suriname from Guangdong to make a living. The three Van Dyke brothers and sisters, apart from him, the other two still have the last name ‘FoSieeuw’.

Before the end of the first half, when the 1.8-meter Ding Ding broke through, he was almost knocked and disintegrated by the 1.94-meter Van Dyke. The midfielder limped off after the whistle sounded. In the second half, Guashuai replaced him with Ishinacho. .

   Like the defensive line, Guardiola is constantly looking for the best combination on the offensive trident, which is actually trial and error.

   Stones made a mistake in the first half, causing City to fall behind at home, but after that, the defense and the team's overall defensive performance was very good, and there was no chance to threaten Bravo.

   But Manchester City's offensive end faced Van Dyck, this summer's Portuguese champion central defender Jose Fonte, and the midfielder Auriol Romeu from Barcelona Masia, did not perform at all.

The simple and rude high-position pressure pass and cut routine in ten consecutive victories has been seen through by old fox coaches like Pierre, and Pierre is very good at organizing destructive defenses in the backcourt. In addition, Manchester City has no combination of new offensive routines. Finished, the players are generally in a sluggish state, so in the city stadium, Manchester City's long attack has no results.

   Excluding Van Dyck and Wundt, today the Saints goalkeeper and England substitute Frasa Foster played very well, anyway, enough to draw Joe Hart's face.

In the 55th minute, David Silva launched a diagonal long pass from the backcourt. After Sane got the ball, he broke through to the left side of the penalty area and crossed the middle. Ishinacho grabbed Van Dyck from the back and made the point. After shooting, the football hit the crossbar and then hit the post.

   This is Manchester City's closest attack to a goal except for Stones's goal in the first half.

   0:1, in the end, Guardiola's team reaped another game at home that won the data but lost the score. The Premier League lost 3 straight after 6 consecutive victories. In the 4 games into October, Manchester City was all black, conceding 8 goals and not scoring a goal.

   After the game press conference, the reporters waited for Guardiola for almost an hour ~ lightnovelpub.net~ before he walked into the venue with a peaceful face.

   The reporter asked him what he was doing and what did he say to the players in the locker room?

   "We just drank a little coke and red wine together." Guardiola said.

   In fact, the old guy closed the door and furious in the locker room, venting his trash mood for forty minutes, and all the players in the field were sprayed by him.

   Zhuo Yang, who came down from the stands, witnessed this scene with his own eyes. To be honest, he had never seen such a big fire before. I often lose my temper at Barcelona, ​​but I have never been so irritable.

   45 years old, is it too early to go to menopause?

   Not to mention the people on the bench, even Zhuo Yang was not spared. Guardiola criticized him for running around after his Achilles tendon injury. He hadn't fully recovered after a month, and he was extremely irresponsible.

   Zhuo Yang accepted the criticism honestly and made a simple self-criticism.

  He is like this. Even if the others are spit on their faces by the handsome guy, no one dares to be dissatisfied. They are all shivering under the lewdness of the old guy.

   The reporter asked Zhuo Yang: What on earth is Guardiola doing in the dressing room?

   Zhuo Yang said: "You may not believe it. Pep and us are drinking a new type of drink, cola and red wine. It tastes like this... How do you say, there is a caramel mint tea taste, like first love."
