Football: The king of midfield, Guardiola is crying with envy

After answering all the questions, Guardiola left the press conference.

Guardiola now has to go back and continue to make lineup adjustments. In the absence of Chen Chen, Manchester City needs to withstand the pressure of the game within 2-3 weeks.

Fortunately, De Bruyne has recovered from his injury. Now the Blue Moon only needs to transfer the core of the midfield organization to Ding Ding.

But sometimes the game situation is not 1+1 equals 2, and the fit between the relevant players needs to be considered.

For example, Grealish and Chen Chen have more contact and cooperation, and less contact and cooperation with De Bruyne. This is a problem that needs to be dealt with immediately.

So in this game against Southampton, Guardiola is ready to use 4231 to deal with it.

The double defensive midfielder is Fernandinho and Gundogan, De Bruyne plays as the attacking midfielder, and Sterling is pushed to the center position, allowing Ding Ding and the left winger Grealish and the right winger Jesus to cooperate more.

Sterling just needs to disturb the opponent's defense, and the team does not expect him to show his power and score more goals.

Chen Chen watched the game in the box of Etihad.

He was accompanied by the team chairman Mubarak and sports director Begiristain, and the few people were talking and laughing.

Everyone was still very confident about this game.

However, I don't know whether it was due to the influence of Chen Chen's injury or the team played two games in two consecutive days. In this game, Manchester City was on the passive side!

With Sterling's goal being blown offside in the final stage of the game, the Blue Moon tied with the opponent 0-0 at home!

This was a big upset.

At the first moment after the game, the camera moved away from Sterling's face, who was holding his head with his hands and looking helpless, and found Chen Chen sitting in the seat outside the box.

This shot switching seemed to say "The team needs Chen Chen!"

Through the big screen on the scene, all Blue Moon fans saw Chen Chen wearing casual clothes, with his hands in his pockets and a serious face.

At this moment, Manchester City fans wish Chen Chen was not injured!

Even Zhan Jun in the Migu studio was teasing Guardiola that "he wanted to kill the thief, but he was powerless to save the situation. He just lacked Chen Chen!"

Zhang Lu on the side said categorically,

"Chen Chen is the strongest point of Manchester City's team now!"

"De Bruyne is very strong, but the Belgian is not in the best condition yet!"

"And his performance today was very average. It can be seen that De Bruyne is still a little uncomfortable after returning from injury."

After most of the fifth round of the Premier League ended that night, Manchester City ranked second with 4 wins, 1 draw and 13 points due to the disadvantage of goal difference!

Liverpool coached by Klopp defeated Crystal Palace by 3 goals. They also had 4 wins, 1 draw and 13 points.

But because of the goal difference advantage, the Red Army Liverpool ranked first in the league!

At the post-match press conference, Klopp was asked about the league rival Manchester City.

"Are you talking about Manchester City's draw? Yes, I know. My assistant just told me."

"As has been advertised, there are no weak teams in the Premier League, and strong teams may also overturn against weak teams. This is not surprising."

"Will Manchester City fall out of the championship group because of Chen Chen's injury? I can tell you clearly that it will not."

"The reason why Manchester City is Manchester City and ranks first on the UEFA coefficient list is not because of Chen Chen, but because of Guardiola and all the other players in the team!"

"They will lose or draw. But the league is still long, there is still time, and Manchester City will still be the most stable championship contender."

"Yes, I am looking forward to meeting We will play against Manchester City in the seventh round. I hope Chen can return to the team by then. "

"This is not only a blessing to the players, but also a respect for ourselves!"

"Anfield condemns all fouls. Football games should be normal and coherent."

"Manchester City with Chen Chen is a complete Manchester City. I hope we will win the complete Manchester City by then, instead of being said by fans as "what's so good about winning against a remnant team."

"Winter transfer recruitment work? Man, the summer transfer has just ended! Okay, okay, you have to ask the boss. I am only responsible for the daily work of the team."

Klopp's words have caused widespread discussion on social platforms.

Fans began to discuss the seventh round of Liverpool vs. Manchester City.

Both sides are teams in good form since the start of the game. This game is destined to be a focus battle with full highlights!

And what's interesting is that before the draw with Southampton, more than 75% of fans expected Manchester City to be undefeated. Now with Manchester City's draw with Southampton, this support rate has dropped to 60%.

48% of fans think Manchester City will win, 40% think Liverpool will win, and the odds of victory for both sides are not much different.

On the other hand, Chelsea defeated Tottenham.

Although he helped the team beat Tottenham 3-0, Werner's poor performance was not forgiven by the fans.

In this game, Werner continued to spit countless cakes, and several wonderful through balls from his teammates were wasted by his offside.

So much so that after the game, Chelsea fans laughed in anger. On social platforms, under Chelsea's official account, the most liked post was "So he changed his name from Timo Werner to Timo VAR?"

Manchester United relied on the performance of Ronaldo and Lingard to defeat West Ham United. They defeated the Hammers at the London Stadium.

Now in the league standings, there are four teams with 4 wins and 1 draw and 13 points!

They are Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea.

This is also a rare situation in recent years where four teams have 13 points after the first five rounds of the league.

In this regard, netizens and fans have said that this is the reason why the Premier League is getting more and more interesting nowadays.

Because it is not just about the championship, even the pressure of competing for the top four is great.

There is another thing.

Although there is no concept of "Northern Expedition" now, Arsenal fans who have won two consecutive victories are clamoring to get into the top four!

After taking a look at Arsenal's next schedule, all fans and media people were silent.

Because the factory will play weak teams next, the only strong one is Tottenham.

And looking at the performance after the change of coach, Tottenham does not seem to be worthy of the title of a strong team.

Tazi's good days are coming soon.

Nuno's good days are coming to an end.

On the second day after the Manchester City vs. Southampton game, the official handling of Angelino came out.

The Spaniard will be suspended for two more games on the premise of a one-game suspension for the red card, and Leipzig will be fined 10,000 euros.

Chen Chen can accept this penalty, after all, there is no way to punish him in depth.

But he has his own way of getting frustrated and solving problems.

Things on the court should be solved on the court. Chen Chen decided to deal with them when he went to Leipzig's home stadium!

The Blue Moon Army got a day of rest.

Grealish and a few others came to visit Chen Chen.

Walker jokingly asked if he wanted to call a stripper to show Chen Chen some oral skills and automatic technology?

Chen Chen waved his hand.

With so many people here, even the ancient flower thieves would not dare to commit adultery in broad daylight.

Sterling thought he was refusing, and then Kuaile Lin sighed that Chen Chen was indeed self-disciplined, and there was a reason for his achievements.

Then a few people talked about Mendy.

Grealish said that the court will be held next Monday, and will the brothers go to listen?

Chen Chen asked him why he wanted to listen?

Shaker shrugged and answered slowly,

"I want to see how many years Mendy is sentenced to, and then compare it with how many years I will be sentenced if someone sues me."

Chen Chen was surprised,

"You did it too?"

Chen Chen exclaimed.

Sure enough, Mourinho was right, there are not many good football players.

Of course, Chen Chen thought he was an exception.
