Football's No. 1 Prodigal Son

The game was a big success.

Shortly after the match between Manchester City and Arsenal, Manchester United also beat Wigan Athletic 1-0 and successfully advanced to the final with a total score of 3-0.

The final between the two sides will be held in a month.

This also means that Manchester City's schedule is full again in the coming February.

From the FA Cup away game against Derby County on January 28th to the League Cup final against Manchester United on February 26th, Manchester City may have to play up to nine games in just 30 days.

This is another difficult schedule for Manchester City.

Of course, if the FA Cup cannot get past Derby County, then there will be a lot of rest time.

However, now these substitutes are crying out for food, and they will not easily let go of this opportunity to perform.

On January 28, Manchester City came to Derby County.

In this game, Yang Luo unexpectedly threw the semi-retired Guardiola into the starting lineup, asking this old guy to go up and contribute to the team.

There is no way, Yang Luo has another identity, that is, a capitalist!

Guardiola certainly has no complaints, he is a competitive person, and he is a little embarrassed to always eat boxed lunch here for free.

So he went on the court with twelve points of enthusiasm.

It must be said that Guardiola is very dedicated, very active on the court, and willing to fight with young people.

After playing halftime, Guardiola was so tired that several hairs fell off, and Yang Luo replaced him with satisfaction.

However, it can be seen from this half-time game that Guardiola is indeed not able to play in the Premier League. His skills and awareness are still there, but his movement speed has slowed down a lot.

But this did not affect Manchester City's 3-0 victory over their opponents.

However, at the last moment of the game, Mario Gomez was forced to leave the field due to a muscle strain and will be absent for at least a month.

He may not be able to catch up with the League Cup final.

However, he is now far ahead in the League Cup scorer list with nine goals, while Saha, who has scored the most goals on the Manchester United side, has only five goals, so he has basically locked in the League Cup top scorer.

After playing Derby County, Manchester City ushered in the challenge of Newcastle in the league.

Today's Newcastle has become a typical mid-level team. Manchester City's current strength is firmly higher than them, and Manchester City still played with all the main players in this game, so there is no suspense about the outcome.

2-0, Manchester City firmly grasped the situation and defeated the opponent.

However, in this game, Robben was injured again.

As he has to lie down for a while every season, he fell down at this time.

Groin strain, need to rest for three to four weeks.

This is undoubtedly bad news for Yang Luo.

He will most likely miss the League Cup final and the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals against Glasgow Rangers.

Of course, there is good news in this round of games.

Chelsea drew again.

They tied 1-1 with Aston Villa away, which widened the points gap between them and Manchester City to six points.

It seems that the lack of Drogba has a really big impact on them!

With Mourinho's temper, it's good that he doesn't curse now.

However, Cote d'Ivoire is still advancing rapidly, and it seems to be aiming for the championship.

So, Drogba won't be back for a while.

And Ghana, where Essien is, was eliminated in the quarter-finals today and will be able to return to the team soon.

After this game, the winter transfer window officially closed.

And Manchester City also added Vidic to the Champions League roster.

As for Guardiola... It seems that it's hard to get on the bed now, so don't think about the roster.

After playing Newcastle, Manchester City challenged Everton away three days later.

Everton gradually climbed out of the mud pit at the beginning of the season, and has jumped from the former vice-captain to the twelfth place.

Although the possibility of impacting the European war is not great, they will at least not be relegated.

Everton is naturally a very difficult team to deal with when it is back to normal.

Due to the dense schedule of this game, Yang Luo arranged a lineup of main players and substitutes.

The front court is composed of Wright Phillips, Kaka, Milner and Luca Toni, and the midfielder is made up of Makelele and Joey Barton.

However, the difficulty of this game is beyond their imagination.

In the 15th minute, Everton striker McFadden scored a goal.

And in the 20th

Seven minutes later, Phil Neville, who had just joined the team this season, scored another goal in a melee in the penalty area through a set-piece opportunity.

Everton led 2-0 at home!

Phil Neville was very excited after scoring the goal, and his mouth seemed to be saying: "Manchester United, this ball is for you!"

This is the real Red Devils!

Manchester City, which was two goals behind, woke up as if from a dream, and they began to attack Everton's goal.

In the 42nd minute, Manchester City finally scored a goal by Luca Toni through a header in the penalty area.

But in the subsequent games, Manchester City has always been blooming but not bearing fruit, and the game has been until the 80th minute.

Manchester City launched an offensive on the right. Wright Phillips broke through and chose a back pass. Maicon, who came in from behind, dribbled into the penalty area and made a strong diagonal pass directly to the back post!

At this time, Ronaldo, who came on as a substitute, inserted at high speed, and before the football passed the goal, he flew and shoveled the ball into the goal!

But he also hit the goal post hard!

After the team doctor's examination, he could no longer play!

But at this time, Manchester City had no substitutions, so they could only deal with the next game with 10 vs 11.

In the end, Manchester City was unable to continue to rewrite the score, and the two sides tied 2-2.

This game not only made Manchester City lose two points, but Ronaldo also caused soft tissue damage to his knee, and he needed to rest for one to two weeks.

What made Yang Luo even more depressed was that Chelsea beat Liverpool 2-0 at home this round, not only stabilizing their position, but also narrowing the points gap with Manchester City to four points.

And then, Manchester City ushered in the FA Cup against Southampton.

Now Southampton is still in the English Championship, and their strength is far behind Manchester City.

In this game, Manchester City still used a full substitute lineup.

However, Yang Luo also put David Silva from the youth team in the starting lineup.

This is also the first time David Silva started for Manchester City.

The Spanish boy was a little nervous in this game, but he still showed his potential.

Manchester City had a certain advantage throughout the game and finally defeated the opponent 2-1.

But Kompany sprained his ankle in a scramble and became another injured player.

This made Yang Luo very depressed.

One person was injured in each of these four games. Isn't this too unlucky?
