Football: God-level striker, all teammates lie down

Perrin was right. Proper relaxation can really make people feel refreshed.

Zhao Yi felt that his body and spirit were better.

After returning to the team, his teammates expressed their blessings to Zhao Yi for winning the award.

Zhao Yi accepted it with pleasure.

Soon, they will continue their journey in the Premier League.

In the 23rd round of the Premier League, Manchester City challenged the Hammers away.

In the first match between the two sides this season, Manchester City won 7:1 at home, creating the biggest score difference in the Premier League this season.

Having learned from the previous lessons, West Ham United no longer played against Manchester City in this game.

They also started to defend and counterattack.

And the effect was very good.

In the first 40 minutes of the first half, neither side made any progress.

Until the 41st minute of the game, Zhao Yi, who exchanged positions with De Bruyne, broke through and sent a very fast-spinning pass.

The West Ham United defender accidentally touched the football.

Relying on an own goal, Manchester City led at halftime.

In the second half, Guardiola started to make things happen. He replaced Aguero and let Zhao Yi go to the front. Silva stood at the No. 10 position, pushed Gundogan up, and Stones came on the bench again.

The formation changed to 3241 again.

West Ham United used a quick counterattack strategy to score two goals in a row.

Guardiola was in a mess.

In the 83rd minute of the game, the magician Silva broke through and sent a lob pass, and Zhao Yi shot and scored.

Manchester City took away a point with difficulty away from home.

West Ham United's rock coach Billy celebrated passionately.

The fans at the scene started a big carnival.

The sky was full of bubbles, colorful, turning the stadium into a dreamy fairy tale world.

Those who didn't know thought West Ham United won.

As the season progressed, teams of Manchester City's level began to actively accumulate strength.

Because they will compete on four fronts.

The League Cup semi-finals, the FA Cup, and the Champions League are just around the corner.

So there are likely to be some mistakes in the long league.

The signings in the winter window are not strong enough, Guardiola must let the players temporarily buffer the momentum of the spurs in the league.

This draw is acceptable to Manchester City.

Three days later, they will play the second round of the League Cup at home against Everton.

In the first round away at Madison Park, Manchester City drew 1:1 with Everton.

If Manchester City wants to advance in this game, they must win the game.

It has reached the semi-finals, and Manchester City will obviously not give up.

Manchester City will face Everton led by Lukaku with all its main players.

Because of the avoidance clause, Stones was not included in the big list.

And Everton, without Stones, became a fish to be slaughtered at Etihad.

Guardiola changed the formation again, letting Zhao Yi, Aguero and Sterling form a three-forward team.

Gundogan, De Bruyne, and Fernandinho are the three midfielders.

This change of formation is different from the one against West Ham United, and this one is very successful.

Lukaku was stunned, staring at his head coach with a pair of big eyes.

How about replacing me?

My role is to kick off the ball in the center circle on the field. It doesn't matter who you replace?

In the first half, Everton was beaten 4:0.

Including the opening kick, Lukaku kicked the ball five times in the center circle.

Zhao Yi, Aguero, Sterling, and De Bruyne scored respectively.

At the same time, De Bruyne made two assists.

In the second half, Manchester City mainly controlled the ball, and Everton scored a goal.

In the end, Manchester City advanced to the finals with a score of 5:2 in two rounds!

The final of the League Cup will be held on February 28, and the opponent is Klopp, who is very good at playing cup games.

Two days later, the fourth round of the FA Cup will start.

Manchester City challenged Aston Villa away.

Villa is different from the situation under Emery a few years later. Now they are still struggling in the league.

So they have half given up the FA Cup.

Manchester City sent half of the substitutes and won 2:0 away.

Zhao Yi did not appear.

Three days later, Manchester City will start the Premier League journey again.

This period of time is a huge test for the players' physical fitness.

Zhao Yi, who has been training and eating according to professionals, is in very good physical condition.

Fortunately, the opponents Manchester City encountered during this period are not strong in combat effectiveness.

Otherwise, Manchester City may really have some problems.

The opponent in the 24th round is also a mid-to-lower-level team.

They defeated the black cat Sunderland 2:1 away.

Manchester City's defense has problems again, and even Sunderland can score a goal.

And in this game, Gundogan took a rest, and Guardiola arranged Zhao Yi in Gundogan's position.

When attacking, they will join in and form a 4141 formation.

Zhao Yi's performance in the new position was not impressive, and his pure organization and connection effect was not as good as Gundogan.

However, he still used a super long pass to findThen he assisted Sterling to score.

After this continuous and frequent schedule, Manchester City will face two crucial league opponents.

They will face the challenges of Tottenham Hotspur and Leicester City at home respectively.

After this, there will be another wave of tight schedules.

In the FA Cup, they will face Chelsea, who are full of energy after the change of coach.

Chelsea has no hope in the league and has been eliminated from the League Cup. The FA Cup and the Champions League have become their main tasks.

With their lineup last season, it is definitely a tough opponent to play in the cup.

It is difficult for Manchester City to get out of the away game unscathed.

After the FA Cup, the Champions League knockout stage officially begins.

At the end of the month, it will be the battle for the League Cup championship with Liverpool.

So the 2:1 victory over Sunderland, more people think that Manchester City is accumulating strength to cope with the next wave of difficult schedules.
