Golden Greenery

In the first half of the season, Manchester City lost five games in the league, including Tottenham, Everton, Southampton, Leicester City, and Liverpool. After the New Year, they lost to Everton again and have been double-killed by the Toffees this season.

Six days later, Manchester City ushered in its 22nd round opponent Tottenham Hotspur at home. Last year, the team's "Black October" started with a 0:2 away defeat to Tottenham Hotspur. If Manchester City still wants the face of this strong team, there is no room for failure in this game.

In the 10th round of the game, although Tottenham's top scorer Harry Kane was absent, Kolarov's first wonderful own goal directly changed the trend of the game. However, Manchester City's playmaker Tintin De Bruyne was also absent in that game.

Today Ding Ding is back, and Kane also appears in Tottenham's starting lineup, but the biggest change on both sides is naturally Zhuo Yang.

This is Zhuoyang's first time playing against Tottenham, but you can't blame him. As the Premier League BIG calls it, Double Manson Puche used to play without Tottenham. They had no chance to stand in front of Zhuoyang in the European competition. .

In fact, Manchester City has only been playing with the Big Four for a few years.

From the end of the year to the beginning of the year, Tottenham won six games in a row. Now they not only overtook Manchester City, but also surpassed Arsenal and ranked third in the standings. The 45-year-old Argentine coach Mauricio Pochettino has begun to be called " The famous coach is also known as "Uncle Bo" among the fans.

Pochettino was a figure of the same era when he played with Guardiola, but he is definitely not as good as Pep Guardiola. Uncle Bo's brightest playing career was in the two years at the beginning of this century. He was teammates with Ronaldinho in Paris Saint-Germain, was the main central defender in the Argentine national team, and participated in the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan.

Other than that, Pochettino is basically a Spaniard of Parrot Legion.

In the 2002 World Cup, Pochettino played all three games. In England's second group match, Pochettino went to defend Owen in the 44th minute of the first half, but was blocked by England's golden boy for a diving penalty. Bey hit the penalty kick, and England defeated Argentina 1:0 with this goal, avenging their revenge in France four years ago.

Fifteen years later, among the players who played against each other at that time, only the 37-year-old Ashley Cole, who is retiring in the Major Leagues, has not yet retired.

Argentina had one win, one draw and one loss that year and failed to qualify from the group. Their loss to England was the key. The scene of Batistuta crying on the sidelines made countless people sad, but few people still remember the unlucky Pochettino.

In fact, when it comes to coaching, Pochettino and Guardiola should be considered brothers in the same school.

Everyone thinks that Lao Gua was born in Barcelona, ​​​​and his football ideas must be learned from Cruyff, the godfather of Barcelona. In fact, when Guardiola was a player, the coach he admired most was the Argentinian coach and the famous 'madman' Marcelo Bielsa.

Guardiola first noticed Bielsa when he was a star at 1 Barcelona, ​​while the Argentinian was in the midst of his brief spell at local club Espanyol. 1. After coaching La Liga team Espanyol for only 12 games, Erza accepted an invitation from the Argentine national team and left the Parrot coaching position.

Since then, Guardiola has been very interested in Bielsa and his football. He also asked his teammate Pellegrino, who later coached Valencia, about Bielsa in detail.

When Bielsa coached Sarsfield, he single-handedly trained Pellegrino, and almost all Argentine players highly respected Bielsa.

But almost all Argentine stars cannot stand it for long under Bielsa. The old man is not only strict, but also has a bad temper, and he will not give face to anyone who gets angry.

In the 2002 World Cup, when the Argentina team led by Bielsa was eliminated in the group stage, Brescia player Guardiola wrote an article analyzing Argentina's tactics.

After bidding farewell to Baggio in Brescia in Serie A, Guardiola spent the last part of his playing career at Dorados Club in Mexico. He gave up the high salary of Al Ahli Club in Qatar and took the initiative to join Dorados because of the high salary there. The head coach is Bielsa.

Half a year later, Guardiola retired and went to Argentina for an inspection for another half a year, mainly to conduct an in-depth investigation of Bielsa's tactical thinking. After learning, he returned to Spain to attend a training class to obtain a certificate, and in 2007 he began coaching the Barcelona second team.

In fact, Bielsa himself is not a typical Argentine coach. He admires Dutch Ajax football, and the people he admires most are Van Gaal and Cruyff. Otherwise, how could Bielsa's football philosophy attract the Catalan Guardiola, who has red and blue in his veins?

The main reason why Bielsa failed to reach higher heights in coaching was because of his character, not his football philosophy.

Pochettino has never been shy about being an admirer of Bielsa. "I admire him very much. I think he is a perfect coach. He is my mentor. It was his motivation and inspiration that gave me the idea and courage to become a coach." Pochettino said: "He is like my father."

There is also the bandit coach Diego Simeone. Although he looks like he is not stingy all day long, he always treats Bielsa as a teacher and a student and is extremely respectful.

Marcelo Bielsa is a head coach who promotes offense to the extreme.

Guardiola, Pochettino, Simeone, Sampaoli, Pellegrino, the five disciples of Bielsa’s football sect.

What is the old man doing now? In my spare time, I had a quarrel with Lazio boss Lotito last year and ran back to Argentina before the season started. The old nature is like a raging fire, and there is no sand in the eyes.

The reason is that Bielsa gave a list of four signings in advance. They are all potential stocks that he is optimistic about, but they are not too expensive. Boss Lotito patted his chest and agreed, but when he took office, Bielsa went to find that he had not even bought a hair.

After the falling out, Lazio carefully studied the list, and finally bought all four of them: Luis Alberto, Lukaku Jr., Milinkovic-Savic, and Lucas Lucas. A total of only 22 million was spent, but it brought together four of Lazio's major players for many years to come.

Bielsa served as a free scout and human resources consultant in 201 Zaghi. The Italians do not respect martial ethics and bully comrades who are over sixty years old.

The Premier League is not a competition between rivers and lakes, and it cannot be done on the pitch. Guabo's fellow disciples all wanted to climb up on each other's bodies today. They have been enemies since ancient times, and it seems that the same is true for fellow disciples. If you put your fist on your nose, you must break it.

Even though Bravo made a poor save, Guardiola was unwilling to play Caballero, and the Regent still started. But Stones was not so lucky. Kolarov replaced him and partnered Otamendi at center back.

Feiniao is still in the suspension period. Zabaleta played poorly as a defensive midfielder in the last game. Guardiola simply arranged Toure as a single defensive midfielder for this game.

Zhuoyang and Aguero, behind them are Ding Ding, Sterling and Sane. As long as they are willing to use them, Manchester City is not without young people.

According to tradition, the British "Guardian" recently selected 201, regardless of whether it is unscientific or not, but it is first and foremost a strength list, not a reputation list.

Zhuo Yang ranked first, Tottenham captain and French goalkeeper Lloris ranked 40th, but he only ranked behind Buffon, Neuer and De Gea among goalkeepers, surpassing Courtois, Navas, Te Nengpu, Oblak, Donnarumma, and Handanovic, who sound like they can play better, are only lower than Harry Kane within Tottenham.
