Golden Greenery

Chapter 221 A powerful draw

"Golden greenery ()"

Same disease but different fate. In the game against Barcelona three days ago, Fernandinho collided with Rakitic during the fight. After being replaced by Fernando, he sat on the bench and applied three kilograms of ice cubes, but today he is still alive and well. Appeared in the starting line-up against Middlesbrough.

In the final stage of the game, Zhuoyang was knocked down by Xiaobu's tackle. After the game, his ankle was slightly sore. Today, he can't even feel it, but he was strictly prohibited from entering the game by Guardiola. Big list.

It is not only the difference between migrant workers and giant pandas, but also because for Manchester City, this game is not difficult, and there is no need to let Zhuoyang, the lucky star, take risks, even if the risk is not actually big.

In the 3rd minute, the Fernandes midfielder stole 20-year-old Adama Traore, and then Manchester City formed a very threatening attack, which indicated that this was a one-sided game.

Traore is a winger from Barcelona. He joined La Masia at the age of 8 and was known as the "Beast of La Masia" when he was young. Later, Traore also played a few games in the first team, but he was eventually abandoned by Barcelona in 2015 and sold to Aston Villa in the British Championship. This year, he was loaned to Middlesbrough by Villa.

Zhuoyang didn't know Traore, he just marveled at Valdez's accuracy when he fell to the ground and confiscated Ding Ding's pass to Aguero in front of the goal. After all, ginger is still spicy.

And Valdez's rapid entry into form at the start probably also indicates that this is not a game that Manchester City can easily win.

Today, those who were watching from the stands with Zhuo Yang were Otamendi and Sterling. They took turns to rest.

The 22-year-old Raheem Sterling is now the most expensive player in England. His move to Manchester City from Liverpool last summer broke the record of 4 when Andy Carroll moved from Newcastle United to Anfield in 2011. A record of 35 million pounds.

Knock on the blackboard – England players.

In this list, under Sterling and Carroll, Ferdinand had 30 million pounds in 2002, Luke Shaw had 30 million pounds in 2014, and Rooney had 27 million pounds in 2004. Neither Beckham nor Irving ranked among the top five in transaction value when they moved to Real Madrid.

Of course, being the most valuable player does not mean being the most powerful player, but Sterling is indeed one of the best players in England today. Especially in terms of winger attributes, Sterling is unrivaled in England.

He has sharp breakthroughs and quick crosses, but his shooting is a little sloppy in comparison. Chinese fans jokingly call him "Manchester City Wu Lei", while the English industry believes that Sterling's template can be Overmars.

But Zhuoyang doesn't see it that way. He thinks Sterling should follow Irving's style of play, especially in shooting, and should pursue Irving's efficiency. Otherwise, he will only be obsessed with the wing, and he will become another Overmars if he achieves extraordinary results in the future. .

Overmars is very good, and Irving may not be so good in the eyes of many people, but the historical status of the two in football and their respective national teams is very different. Irving is a milestone, but Overmars is not.

Irving or Overmars, the young Sterling still has time to choose, but he is at the crossroads of development and may not become the next Balotelli.

1 The master, who was pregnant at the same time, became a father at the age of 17, and almost went to jail for beating his girlfriend. At the age of 18, he publicly entangled a famous female lace model, one of whom was the famous singer Jenna Pence.

I'm afraid Balotelli didn't do this back then. I have the final say on my lower body.

He was scouted by Liverpool at the age of 15, and was regarded as the future "throne" of Anfield at the age of 17. Sterling was also very smart at the time, claiming in public many times that Liverpool was the best team in the world and that he would always be 'YNWA'.

YNWA, the abbreviation of Liverpool team song "You'll Never Walk Alone", some Chinese Red Army fans call it "How can there be no love".

At the age of 20, he resolutely left Liverpool to join Manchester City at a huge price, claiming that he wanted to pursue higher football and a higher level platform.

But it disgusts the Liverpool fans. Liverpool is a giant, but what the hell is Manchester City?

If you love money, you love money, and you are responsible and established. Balotelli is not so hypocritical.

Of course, Blue Moon fans were extremely happy. Betrayal and loyalty are always relative in the football world, otherwise Zhuoyang would not be able to live a good life.

On the first day Zhuo Yang came to Manchester City, Sterling publicly said that he was a fan of Zhuo Yang and that his most admired idol was Zhuo Yang.

Zhuoyang made his first appearance as a substitute for Manchester City. Sterling, who was replaced, knelt down on one knee in front of the Old Trafford sideline to express his admiration. From this point of view, he is quite sensible and has grown up after all.

Sterling himself definitely wants to be the next Zhuo Yang, but now he must first learn Aguero's shooting ability, because if the goal is closer, he will not feel despair and his life will not collapse.

However, Aguero could not set an example for Sterling today. It was not until the 43rd minute before the end of the first half that he received Ding Ding's pass from outside the penalty area and poked a shot in the defense of Chambers and Barragan. The goal broke the deadlock.

And this is the only time the Manchester City team has scored in the first half.

Valdez's heroic performance prevented Manchester City's continuous shots. Compared with his busyness, Bravo was the closest spectator to the scene.

However, Bravo was put to the test as soon as the second half kicked off.

Feiniao made a mistake in the return pass, and Negredo directly hit the goal in the middle circle. Bravo's tactical backhand was heartbreaking and did not touch the football. Fortunately, it was slightly higher than the crossbar.

It is Alvaro Negredo, the powerful center who was born in Real Madrid Castilla, traveled around La Liga over the years, and played for Manchester City for a year in the 13-14 season. He is against Spanish tradition. He was replaced by Valencia this summer. Loaned to Middlesbrough.

Feiniao seems to be in a bit of trouble today. But then Navas's diagonal shot hit the lintel of Middlesbrough, making the Manchester City people still think that today was their game.

In order to expand the results, Guardiola replaced Iheanacho, Nolito and second-team player Garcia in the second half. With everyone's concerted efforts, Manchester City's number of shots in the game finally reached a terrifying 33, with an average of 33 shots per game. One shot will come in 2 minutes and 45 seconds.

Manchester City's ball possession rate was 78%. It can be understood that Middlesbrough did not get the ball very much.

As a newly promoted team from the Premier League this season, Middlesbrough must recruit a large number of players before the season. The most famous among them is naturally the free agent Valdes. Among the summer signings, the most valuable one is 25-year-old Dutch midfielder Maarten Drouen, who cost Middlesbrough 15 million.

Last year, Atlanta bought Drouen from the Eredivisie Heerenveen for only 1.3 million. This guy's worth more than tenfold in one year.

In the 3rd minute of stoppage time, Fernandes' midfielder's cross was intercepted by Traore and then passed to captain George Fried on the wing. The Fernando team made a 45° pass from the left, and Drouen jumped back to head the ball towards the goal, but Bravo had no choice.

Including Zhuo Yang, the stands at the City Stadium were filled with astonishment: Was he defeated just like that?

Middlesbrough only had three shots in the game, and this was the only one on target. Bravo became the 'Regent' again.

From the corner of his eye, Zhuo Yang saw Guardiola throwing something below.

The game was over, Zhuoyang walked to the infield under the stands, thinking to himself: We agreed to get together with Valdez after the game. I have already booked the place, but I don't know if Pep is still in the mood to go.

Sterling asked flatteringly from the side: "Lao Zhuo, are you going to eat Spanish food? Can you take me with you? Hehe~"

Zhuo Yang looked at him with squinting eyes: I've seen people who are short-sighted, but I've never seen you force yourself into someone who's unlucky like this.

Sterling: "Hey~"
