Golden Greenery

"Golden greenery ()"

When Guardiola replaced Zhuoyang in the 70th minute of the game, he was almost speechless.

Before the game, I thought Crystal Palace would be very tenacious, but I didn't expect it to be so tenacious. After all, the team had 3 wins and 2 draws in the previous 11 games, and his strength did not allow it!

Moreover, Crystal Palace does not have a very famous player, and the French national team midfielder Cabaye is considered the biggest player. Short, unshaven and with yellow hair, and the Crystal Palace jersey is also blue and red, Cabaye does look a bit like Messi at first glance.

There is no underdog in the Premier League, and Manchester City did not underestimate the opponent. Everything was prepared as fully as possible before the game, but today Crystal Palace really seemed to be Barcelona, ​​fighting for every inch of ground with Manchester City without falling behind.

Until Manchester City's first shot, it was a nonsensical long-range shot that was better than no shot at all. Before that, it was all Crystal Palace.

Manchester City's first serious shot could not be counted until Aguero's outflanking shot in the 33rd minute, but it missed the target.

And quite unlucky too. Look for Belgian center Benteke in the third penalty area.

2 Benteke is also considered a famous player. He was bought by Liverpool last summer with direct liquidated damages, but just one year later, he was sold to Crystal Palace at a low price.

Benteke is 1.9 meters tall, but Manchester City captain Kompany was also unambiguous and quickly retreated to meet the landing spot. Goalkeeper Bravo takes it as his duty to attack at all times, and would rather miss a kill than let it go.

As a result, both of them looked up at the football. Benteke had nothing to do with it. Kompany and Bravo collided viciously like they were killing their father.

Kill each other! After the killing, Bravo was fine, but Captain Kong couldn't stand up anymore, and he was lifted off after a while while rubbing his legs.

Vincent Kompany is a good defender, not top-notch, but good enough. But such a sturdy man has the attributes of a man of glass. He has been injured for nine years in Manchester City. Today is the 17th time he has been injured. He has not played a full season in nine years.

Zabaleta on Zhuoyang's left took the order urgently and replaced Kompany in the 37th minute.

Zabaleta is the same age as Zhuoyang. He is also a wonderful person. When he is not familiar with him, he cherishes his words like gold. When he is familiar with him, he becomes a comedian by making jokes. Before his butt left the bench, Zabaleta reached out to Zhuo Yang.

"Lao Zhuo, let's take the relay. Give me your good luck."

Everyone will smile. Zhuoyang is now recognized as the lucky cat in Manchester City. After arriving, the team won all five games he played this season, and in the ten games he did not participate in, Manchester City won 3, drew 2, and lost 5.

Zhuoyang also smiled and gave Zabaleta a high-five.

It really works.

Manchester City's attack failed, and Crystal Palace center back Tomkins passed to No. 10 Townsend. Zabaleta pressed the ball in time, and Townsend didn't care to turn around and quickly pushed back to full-back Kelly.

The ball was pushed a little too far, Kelly caught up and made a clearance, but passed the ball directly to Zabaleta. This was the first time the Argentinian defender touched the ball since coming on.

Zabaleta passed to the top of the arc. Toure and Aguero on the left played a boring rhythm, back and forth, and suddenly played a one-two with Nolito in the penalty area, and then shot from close range. , the football hit the top of the net.

Toure scored on his first appearance at Manchester City, so maybe he is the lucky cat.

According to conventional inference, the game will be easier to play after breaking the deadlock. After all, there is a gap in strength between the two sides.

But no.

At the beginning of the second half, coach Pardew made a sudden change. 23-year-old high center Connor Wickham replaced midfielder Townsend. Crystal Palace began to use a double center tactic.

Afterwards, the game was still evenly matched. Apart from being ahead in score and possession rate, Manchester City could not be seen as a much better team than Crystal Palace.

Thinking of the stoppage-time draw by Middlesbrough after leading the game in the last round, Guardiola couldn't sit still, took a look, and replaced Nolito in Dierva.

Silva sat on the right side of Zhuoyang. Before leaving, he also extended his hand in the same way: "Old cat... no,

Lao Zhuo, come here too. "

This time, even Guardiola was smiling, and there was a joyful and relaxed atmosphere on the City bench.

However, it didn't work.

Crystal Palace failed to score an attack. Manchester City made a clearance and Kolarov passed the ball to the midfield. The give was a little small. Silva, who was driving forward at high speed, could only slow down and stretch his legs backwards to reach the ball. As a result, his feet got hung up with Cabaye's. The two of them did an acrobatic spin and both fell down.

The football fell at the feet of Jason Pangchon. He turned around to get rid of Ding Ding and passed it diagonally to Wickham at the top of the arc.

Zabaleta jumped too hard to make up the position, and was blocked by Wickham in a small change of direction. Then he relied on his tall and strong body to push Zabaleta into the penalty area and score the goal with a blast.

Guardiola: "..."

Manchester City did not wait until stoppage time to draw the score.

The Crystal Palace people were celebrating, and Guardiola looked at Zhuo Yang sadly, with a clear expression on his face, and then asked: The lucky cats are divided on the bench, why is it not working?

Zhuoyang took off his pants directly.

Now Guardiola doesn't dare to look at the bench in the second half. As soon as his eyes glance at Zhuoyang, he can't help but take off his pants immediately. Piano professor + football legend + baron, making him look like a man who can't wait to stand on the street. Female, the kind that hasn’t opened for two months.

You still can't let him fuck you. The whole world has witnessed him taking off his pants, so you let him put them back on? Even the street girl won’t agree. If you don’t pay, don’t even think about it!

In the 70th minute, Lucky Cat Manchester City came on the scene, and Zhuo Yang replaced Kolarov.

On the other side, Crystal Palace also quickly adjusted, with South Korean winger Lee Ching-yong replacing center Benkert. This is not to make Pardu coach happy, but to highlight Wickham's header advantage in the penalty area.

Li Qinglong is a winger, fast and has a good cross. If it weren't for the poor physical confrontation, his achievements would not be limited to this.

Li Qinglong was very active after he came up. On the other hand, Zhuo Yang, who had the hope of all mankind, was almost invisible and had no performance at all.

In the 7th minute, he was on camera for the first time. He received a pass from Ding Ding with his back on the line of the penalty area. He leaned on Crystal Palace captain Scott Dann to protect the ball for a moment, and then passed to Sterling who cut into the penalty area from the center. A single shot followed.

Facing the lone goalkeeper Wayne Hennessy and the tantalizing goal behind him, Sterling fired the ball straight into the London night sky.

Do you think Zhuoyang can be blamed for this?

In the 84th minute, Zhuo Yang appeared in the camera again. He ran across the penalty area and pulled the Crystal Palace defense line. While opening the door, he stepped on Ding Ding with the sole of his foot to create a fixed firing position.

Tintin’s angry shooting makes the London night sky no longer lonely tonight.

Tell me, can you blame Zhuo Yang?

In the 87th minute, Sterling got a corner kick for Manchester City. Because Manchester City's average height is at the bottom of the Premier League, corner kick tactics pay more attention to ground and tricks.

Ding Ding kicked into the penalty area. Silva swept forward and kicked the air, but he also shook a lot of people behind him.

There was no time to react. Joel Ward subconsciously stretched his legs to make a clearance, but he kicked the football incorrectly and gave the football rotation acceleration. Inexplicably, it collapsed through the gap and hit the chest of Zhuoyang who was in the back.

Also too late to react, Zhuoyang just pushed his chest up. It was unclear whether he wanted to stop or pass, but the football happened to roll to the middle. Toure rounded the ball and kicked it, almost missing the net.

Yaya Toure scored twice, Manchester City 2:1, unintentionally, the assist was counted on Zhuoyang.

Lucky Cat Manchester City’s own cat certainly deserves its reputation.
