Golden Greenery

Guardiola is a duplicitous person. Before the game, he said: After the game, I will ask Mourinho to buy me a glass of red wine.

He also said: The derby is always the most special, and we will definitely work hard to win this game, because defeating Manchester United is a responsibility.

He said no, but his body was very honest. In the 1/8 match of the 201 League Cup, Guardiola behaved like a prude.

A month ago in 1/1 Wangsea, Manchester City drew their city rivals Manchester United in the subsequent League Cup draw. This became the most eye-catching matchup in 1/8, taking place at Old Trafford.

55 days ago, in the fourth round of the Premier League, Manchester City defeated Manchester United 3:1 here. It was Zhuoyang's comeback battle.

Zhuoyang still has not been allowed to participate. De Bruyne was injured by Van Dijk in the match against Southampton three days ago and was exempted from the game today. Everyone else is fine.

But compared to Mourinho, who sent his main players to play, and Guardiola, who was so steadfast in his words, compared to three days ago, he replaced Gouda and captain Kompany to continue playing. Aguero, Silva, Feiniao, Jing. Dogan sat on the bench with all his heavy weapons, and even the goalkeeper was replaced by Caballero, the second goalkeeper.

There are also two U21 youth team players, 1 Fio and 1 Garcia, in the starting lineup, and there are two more on standby on the bench.

Therefore, many media said before the game that Manchester City did not want to win, but Guardiola only wanted to lose.

I have to say that Guardiola is really courageous. He has lost four games in a row before. Not to mention the League Cup, even the Underpants Cup must be seized quickly. Besides, the opponent still loses to Mourinho and Manchester United who cannot lose to him. .

But he really made it onto the bench. No wonder people say the bald man is unreliable.

The situation is different for Pulsatilla. Mourinho is quite pragmatic. He is the main player because Manchester United's situation so far in the new season is no better than that of Manchester City, which has just lost four games in a row.

The Premier League has 3 wins and 3 losses, while Moorman has 4 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. Three days ago, Manchester United was beaten 4:0 by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Mourinho returned to his old hometown and lost his face.

The two teams are not far behind in the European war. The Guaman Champions League win and loss are tied with one each, and the Murman League Cup has 2 wins and 1 loss. But can the level of the UEFA Cup be on par with the Champions League? What the hell is Lugansk Dawn?

Guamu duel, brothers and sisters in need, it seems that this is a game that no one can afford to lose. But while Mourinho is serious, Guardiola is still as frivolous as a slut from a good family.

Before the 1/8 and the previous 1/1 games, the League Cup was a one-match affair. The home and away games were also determined by drawing lots, overtime and even penalty kicks.

This is different from the League Cup and the FA Cup. The FA Cup is also a single-elimination system before the semi-finals, but the home and away games are changed and the rematch is selected on a different day.

So today, Gua and Mourinho, whoever loses will be eliminated. Although the League Cup is only the weakest of the four fronts, for Manchester City and Manchester United who have choked on several mouthfuls of stick noodle crumbs, fried chicken ribs with green onion should also be delicious. right.

But with Guardiola's false shot, Mourinho became a real good man, down-to-earth and thrifty. As long as he can win today, it doesn't matter anything.

Just two days ago, Zhuo Yang praised Mourinho for "leading the revolution of Chelsea living in a wealthy club", referring to the time when he entered the Blue Bridge in early 2004. The praise made Mourinho's heart surge.

In fact, compared to Mourinho's restrictive tactics at that time, which included long passes and long passes to counterattack, Mourinho's tactics have changed a lot now. Especially after being influenced by Real Madrid, he was very different when he entered Chelsea for the second time. .

There are a lot more ground flows, and a lot of changes in short and medium distances. Mourinho is completing self-sublimation and self-challenge in tactics.

However, he goes without saying that in order to win this crucial and life-saving derby victory,

Mourinho very pragmatically restarted the simple and crude long-passing style of play that made him famous more than ten years ago.

Not to mention simplifying the complex, we just start with offensive efficiency, and then use our bodies to bully Manchester City's overall sluggish state.

.

Juan Mata's surname is neither Ma nor Mata, his surname is Garcia.

After Mourinho came to Manchester United, Mata, who had served three Red Devils coaches, became entangled. With his technical characteristics, he is most suitable to serve as the team's midfielder in the center, or he can move back to a virtual left midfielder like Zidane used to do at Real Madrid. No matter what, there must be a ball under your feet.

But in Manchester United's current configuration, Pogba leads the midfield and Rooney retreats. He is said to be a shadow striker but is actually a genuine attacking midfielder. These two old and young immortals were in tandem, which made Mata very embarrassed.

Many British media have said that it is difficult for Mata and Rooney to coexist. Lu Xiaopang is one of the best brothers in England. He is a loyal and filial son who has played for the Red Devils for 13 years. He is a green forest hero with a red heart and a devilish heart. He obviously feels like he wants to scatter his ashes under the Old Trafford turf after his death. Mata's head hurts when he thinks about it.

In the 54th minute of the second half, Pogba made a long pass from the backcourt. The target was Otamendi, who was 1.8 meters tall, and Ibrahimovic, who was a human-shaped iron tower. As a result, he was hit by a big gold chain and couldn't even tell the difference between east, west and north.

Ibrahimovic dribbled the ball into the penalty area, and Manchester City 1 defended his cross. Herrera cleverly squeezed Fernando from the front point and let the ball pass by. Mata followed from the back point and pushed the ball, and the ball hit the dead corner.

1:0, Manchester United let Manchester City fall behind for the sixth consecutive game.

Mata excitedly rushed to the sideline and hugged Mourinho, who was also excited. Rooney, whose face was still as smooth as jade, was expressionless, but he looked as old as Messi with a beard.

Helplessly, the flowers fell, 1:0 was also the final score. Guardiola and Manchester City suffered a five-game losing streak and were eliminated from the League Cup. It was also the first time he lost to Mourinho in four years.

The last time Gua lost to Mourinho was when Barcelona lost to Real Madrid.

Six games without a win and five in a row. What an indecent record. A month ago, Manchester City was the most popular team in Europe with ten consecutive wins. In the blink of an eye, Manchester City has become a piece of garbage worse than a poor relegation team.

It's only been a month, and recalling the flowers at that time feels like a lifetime ago.

Although he was determined to die before coming, when the five-game losing streak came before him, Guardiola still couldn't help but feel sour, like a widow who was secretly three months pregnant.

"Manchester United's goal in the game is to keep making long passes, long passes, and long passes. They lose the ball with long passes, and they score goals with long passes." Guardiola has never been to Shanxi, but this time At that time, the smell of old vinegar filled the air around him. "Sometimes you do need some long balls, but that seems to be the way Manchester United think."

"Manchester City can't do it. We can't play such advanced things as long passes. If we buy a center with a height of 2.2 meters in the future, we will have more long passes in the future."

Gua Shuai said: "Maybe I should ask Zhuo Yang to see if he knows a 2-meter-2 center. He knows many people."

Don't tell me, Zhuo Yang actually knew someone. He met him during a meeting in Beijing. That guy is China's most awesome center and No. 11, and his surname is Yao.

Those who win are always more graceful, and Mourinho has no trace of his former meanness and aggression. Compared to Guardiola's sourness, he is as warm as sugar.

"Manchester United played very well today. Of course, Manchester City is also good. Guardiola is a coach I admire very much. I think he and I should be considered friends." Mu said: "Actually, Manchester United won today, I think it is mainly because of Zhuo Zhuo. Yang did not come out from the Manchester City bench. Hahaha~, I wish Zhuo Yang a speedy recovery. His return to football is more meaningful than any game."

The post-match press conference was filled with the sour and sweet taste of sweet and sour pork.

Guardiola didn't keep his word. He promised to have a glass of red wine with Mourinho after the game, but he forgot all about it after losing the game. It was probably intentional, causing the honest Mourinho to be in trouble. The Old Trafford reception room waited until the lights went out at the stadium.
