Chapter 164 Concrete Jungle 8 Years Ago

The quarrel between Guardiola and Joe Hart is related to Manchester City's signings and transfers this summer, but it has nothing to do with Zhuoyang.

Of the three goalkeepers in the Manchester City team last season, Hart was the first goalkeeper, the second goalkeeper was the 35-year-old Argentine substitute goalkeeper Willy Caballero, and the third goalkeeper was England veteran Richard Wright.

After the end of last season, 3 City U21 goalkeeper Angus Gunn filled in, but it is obvious that he is just a soy sauce boy.

If the sky has feelings, the sky will also grow old. When I meet Hartmon, I will give him a kick. Although Hart is the number one goalkeeper in England, he is obviously more famous for his jokes than his goal-line skills. There are many types of goalkeepers, and Hart belongs to the scene-stealing type, which is a derivative of the neurotic type.

Guardiola, who is based on passing and controlling, naturally looks down on Hart. The attack and foot skills he needs, as well as the dominance in the penalty area, are all Hart's weaknesses. So starting from the first warm-up match against Bayern in the season training camp, Guardiola appointed Caballero as the team's main goalkeeper without giving any explanation to Joe Hart.

England was on the national team, and he was one of the most evil goalkeepers in the world along with Neuer. How could Joe Hart accept such a contrast? How could he suddenly be out of luck?

The most irritating thing is that Guardiola didn't even have an explanation or any false comfort, and he didn't show the least human sophistication. He really didn't take England's best brother as solid food at all.

In fact, from Guardiola's point of view, not saying hello or explaining may be the best choice, because if he had said hello earlier, he would have exploded, so why not just boil the frog in warm water.

Hart did make him faint, especially when he started a game in the second round of the Champions League play-offs, which gave Hart the illusion that he could still return the favor. After all, Calevaro is 35 years old. If you want to establish him as the foundation of the dynasty, even dogs will not believe it.

Guardiola didn't believe it either, Caballero was indeed not the man of his dreams. Guardiola's tactical concept is not to have ten people on the court plus one goalkeeper, but to have eleven players who all have the ability to respond with short passes.

But he can buy his old subordinates and the success rate of short passes in the backcourt last season. Atletico Madrid's Oblak and Barcelona's Ter Stegen are definitely out of the question, so Guardiola has taken a fancy to Barcelona's backup goalkeeper, Chilean Bra. fertile.

In all conscience, Guardiola was indeed not magnanimous in this matter. Recruiting a new goalkeeper is no problem, team construction comes first, but you come in an aboveboard manner, but Guardiola signaled sports director Begiristain to proceed in private.

Begiristain is Guardiola's old partner. He is very cooperative with his intentions and has a strong working ability. He is also inextricably linked with Barcelona. So, while inviting Zhuoyang, Bravo was taken care of.

It wasn't until Bravo packed his bags in Barcelona that Manchester City made it official. The result was that Joe Hart was left in the air.

He was so angry that his lungs almost exploded.

If it was Gate No. 2, Hart felt there was still hope, but now it was Gate No. 3, and everything was a blur. There is no place for me to stay here, but there is a place for me to stay. Where is the loess where silver is not buried?

But the question is, where did the time go?

The transfer window closed on August 31. Manchester City officials announced that Laver would join on August 2, but there was obviously not enough time to carefully select a new team.

Do you care about killing or burying? Joe Hart was so angry that he accused Guardiola of being a slanderer on the training ground today. Why do I have any grudges?

Guardiola felt that Hart was not only ignorant of current affairs, but also inexplicable. What do you think you don't know about? Do you still have to tell me to drive you away? Knowing that you are England's number one brother, I don't want to get a bad name by driving you away due to these bad words in the English media.

If you are almost thirty years old, can't you, like Nasri, see that the situation is not right and then voluntarily contact and leave early?

Guardiola is actually a very narrow-minded person, and compared to when he was coaching Barcelona, ​​as his age and body changed, he became headstrong and domineering. This is the ultimate character development of a famous coach.

.

Zhuoyang is quite familiar with the Etihad Stadium. It used to be called the City Stadium and fans still call it that.

On August 28, four hours before the start of the third round of the Premier League match against West Ham United, the City Stadium was already packed with 60,000 people.

The City Stadium is very young. It was built for the 2002 Commonwealth Games and became the home stadium of Manchester City Club in 2003. Before that, Manchester City's home ground was Maine Road, which has now been turned into a residential area and commercial area.

What really made the City Stadium famous in the football world was the UEFA Cup final between AC Milan and Zenit in May 2008.

Zhuo Yang traveled thousands of miles from China to help, but his flight was first delayed at Frankfurt Airport and then blocked by a strike at the Manchester Bus Company. As a result, the whole world witnessed him running 87 games in 24 minutes and 32 seconds in the reinforced concrete urban jungle.

From the live broadcast starting in front of the red piano at Frankfurt Airport to coming on as a substitute in the last 20 minutes to lead AC Milan to score three goals in a row and win 3:2, making that night the most classic scene in the history of the UEFA Cup, and City Stadium is also honored for this. Be recorded in the history of football.

It was on that night that the Abu Dhabi consortium that wanted to acquire the team put Manchester City into its sights.

From that night on, Manchester City’s Blue Moon fans became Zhuo Yang’s fans. In November 2012, in the fifth round of the Champions League group stage, Zhuo Yang came to the City Stadium with Real Madrid, where he received the warmest away cheers of his career.

Four years later, the City Stadium was home.

Two hours before the start of the game, Zhuo Yang walked along the temporarily built blue channel to the high platform in the center of the field. Dressed in a suit and leather shoes, he took over the blue number 18 from the club chairman Mubarak amid a hot call. Jersey.

Since the announcement of Zhuoyang's joining two days ago, Manchester City's season ticket sales this season have soared by 8,500 tickets in two days, and the total has exceeded 45,000, quickly becoming the highest in the club's history, and season ticket sales are still continuing. It is expected that 50,000 yuan will be no problem at all. You know, the expanded City Stadium has a capacity of 60,000.

In two days, Manchester City's new No. 18 jersey ranked first in global pre-sales in 17 cities, first in the Premier League and first in football, and it was far ahead. Nike jersey factories in China and Thailand are working around the clock, and container trucks are parked at the entrance of the quality inspection factory.

Zhuo Yang has not started football training yet, and he will not play today, but what greets him at the city stadium is countless portraits, posters and slogans, as well as non-stop singing.

Many of these huge posters show him running shirtless on that night in the urban jungle eight years ago.

Manchester City does not have a glorious history, so there are no real celebrities. After holding up the microphone and giving an impassioned speech to the fans, Zhuo Yang took the footballs handed over by captain Kompany, bounced them a few times, and kicked them into the stands in turn.

Guardiola, who was watching the excitement at the entrance, waited for Zhuoyang to leave the field and asked him: "Tell me honestly, to what extent have you been training football in private before?"

"Brother Gua, to be honest, the last time I played football was at Real Madrid."

"Oh, shit." Guapep slapped his shiny forehead: "That's sloppy."
