Golden Greenery

Because he was really afraid of Zhuo Yang, and because he had extremely unbearable memories of Zhuo Yang's Madibao, Ronald Koeman was immersed in the satisfaction of Zhuo Yang's mediocrity in the second half.

Sterling's flourish on the right side of Manchester City did not alert Koeman, and even the slight danger of scoring twice did not make him wake up from satisfaction. But Manchester City got three consecutive free kicks outside the Everton penalty area in three minutes, and Koeman finally felt that something was wrong.

Zhuo Yang missed the post and Ding Ding's shot was saved by Pickford. When Manchester City was preparing to take the third free kick outside the corner of the penalty area, Koeman couldn't sit still and called out "Iceland Sniper" Sigurdsson, ready to replace Davis, who was tortured by Zhuo Yang and was in pain.

Tom Davis was dragged by Zhuo Yang to play many generals. He didn't lose money but lost his energy. Everton's midfield counterattack and attack are instigated by him. Without Davis, there is no offensive threat, and Everton can only fall into endless defensive passivity.

Zhuoyang sacrificed his life to feed Toffee, and Manchester City was actually willing to leave him behind and attack from the right. To be honest, Koeman is not stupid now that he has clearly seen Manchester City's machinations.

But it's still a little late.

Ding Ding passed the free kick into the penalty area. Zhuoyang took Davis and Michael Keane who were marking him away from the center, and the three of them piled up to the back point.

Ding Ding passed the ball to the back point, but it was not as far back as Zhuo Yang's movement. In fact, it was a mistake in passing the ball. The ball landed on the small bamboo pole Holgate.

Huo Shaoxia knew that Zhuo Yang was on the outside of him, but he didn't know what Zhuo Yang was going to do and whether he was holding back and hitting him from behind. So, in fear, Huo Shaoxia made the same mistake as Stones in the first half. He cleared the ball to the penalty spot, where there was a cheerful Sterling.

There was a roar on Dangyang Bridge. Zhuo Yang was not Zhang Fei, and he didn't roar, but Holgate was not much better than Xia Houjie.

His teammates couldn't pass the ball so comfortably. Sterling didn't even need to step down. He raised the outside of his right leg and shot, and the football shot straight into the goal, 1:2.

Sterling is no longer Zhao Zilong, but this one shot to the throat is a reward for his joy of glory.

1 was substituted, and his journey off the field was short, but his road to football is still long, and he has too much to learn. It was not his fault that he lost the ball, and Davis was not frustrated. He seemed to have learned something from the twenty-minute fierce battle with Zhuoyang.

It is reported that Davis has entered the 24-person shortlist of candidates for the 2017 European Golden Boy Award. Although the probability that he will eventually win the Golden Boy is not high, he is basically a running mate. After all, there is also Mu, who is worth 180 million, on the list. Bape, as well as Dembele, Donnarumma, Jesus and other more popular candidates. But being able to stand out among the numerous young heroes and make the roster is already an achievement.

Koeman had no choice. He had to use counterattacks to restrain Manchester City's arrogant attack. Davis lost his role, so Koeman let the more vigorous Sigurdsson do it.

In order to continue to contain Zhuo Yang, and at the same time avoid Zhuo Yang's attempts to get stuck when defending, Koeman asked Schneiderlin in the midfield triangle to move closer to the right to replace Davis's defensive responsibility. Sigurdsson, on the other hand, moved slightly to the left to avoid too much entanglement with Zhuoyang.

As for Holgate, who had been tortured to a pulp by Zhuo Yang, he could only be allowed to continue to be tortured, because it would be the same for anyone else, and he might soon become numb.

After completing the substitution, Koeman suddenly wanted to slap his forehead: In this case,

Why replace Davis? Can't he just switch positions with Schneiderlin?

His grandma took off her pants and farted. Koeman's purpose is to restart the counterattack and attack the iron triangle. The purpose of bringing Sigurdsson up is to reconnect him with Rooney and replace the iron triangle with Sigurdsson + Rooney + Lewin. Rooney is still the key, because he Ying Feng carries the midfielder over one shoulder.

But Rooney was forcibly dragged to play mahjong by Zhuo Yang, and the triangle had nothing to do with him.

Koeman should replace Rooney with Sigurdsson, then swap Davis and Schneiderlin, and let Davidson + Sigurdsson + Lewin try a love triangle. But in this case, without Rooney, Zhuoyang would directly overturn the mahjong table, hit a hammer, and replace it with Landlord or Roulette, which would still make Everton uneasy.

Zhuoyang, who was not in great condition, only relied on his court intelligence to create a paradox in Everton's offense and defense.

Sigurdsson was so confused. He was the best sniper in Iceland, but now there was a hand-to-hand combat with cold weapons on the court. Why was he barging in with an eight-fold scope?

Sighing, Sigurdsson clenched his cheeks and worked with Guyer to block Tintin and Silva, turning his big sniper into a round shield in an instant.

Koeman: "..."

.

Rooney was breathing heavily. He hadn't played such tiring football for a long time.

"Lao Zhuo, you said that year... you came to Manchester United and I went to Real Madrid. What will happen to us now?"

Rooney used "come to Manchester United", which shows that he returned to Everton but still recognized his first status as a Manchester United veteran.

"It's hard to say, maybe Ronaldo, the president of Portugal, will be in Manchester City today."

"Hahaha..., I like this answer. Lao Zhuo, we will exchange jerseys later."

"necessary."

Although it has never been said that they are very familiar with each other, there are fewer and fewer old opponents of the same era. Even Rooney and Zhuo Yang must keep up and cherish them.

The fierce and warm battle did not last long, and Koeman began to correct his mistakes again. He replaced Rooney with the 24-year-old Dutch attacking midfielder David Klaassen in the 80th minute. Klaassen comes from Ajax and cost Everton 27 million this summer.

Rooney was a little stunned. He paid a lot today, scored goals on offense, and defeated Zhuoyang on defense, but he was adjusted at this time. What did Koeman want to do?

But after all, he was 32 years old. Rooney did not have a fit. He just silently took off the captain's armband and threw it to Jagielka. Returning to Everton, Rooney automatically became the captain because he was in the first team and no one was qualified for him.

The City Stadium was filled with boos, whether it was for the captain of the former rival Red Devils or for Koeman.

With Rooney out, there is no need for Zhuo Yang to play mahjong anymore. He completely messed up the Iron Triangle, which is enough for the mission target. Before setting off the mahjong table, Schneiderlin received a yellow card on Zhuo Yang.

Guardiola also made timely changes. He used the last substitution to replace Jesus, who had little performance, and replaced him in seat B.

Koeman saw the move, and the 25-year-old Bosnian midfielder Mohamed Besic came on the scene to replace the 33-year-old center back veteran Ashley Williams, allowing Holgate to return to his old line of center back and use Besic. Strange comes to free Sigurdsson.

Koeman's purpose is to hope that Sigurdsson, Lewin, and Klassen will form a frontcourt triangle and use their counterattack team to clamp down on Manchester City's offense.

However, Guardiola made Zhuo Yang a center forward.

Being 1:2 behind and running out of time, it would be ridiculous not to go crazy. Manchester City's 3-4-2 midfielder-less formation started immediately. The four attacking midfielders suppressed the entire Everton midfielder within a thirty-meter area, which was very unreasonable.

There is a positive triangle, but without the support of the midfield, they have become a waterless source, easily taken care of by Federico, Kompany and Ota.

In the eighth post, Zhuo Yang's guerrilla general Aguero set up an air-cut landing point. Seeing that Akun was about to break into the penalty area and form a single shot, Schneiderlin had no choice but to put a shovel two meters outside the penalty area line.

He missed the football and knocked down Aguero. Two yellows and one red. It took Walker two minutes in the first half and Schneiderlin four minutes in the second half.

Zhuoyang was indeed not in very good condition, because he hit the post with such a well-positioned free kick.

But a Zhuoyang who is not in the best condition can not only harm Everton, but can still score goals.

Silva fought off Besic to grab the rebound ball, and Ding Ding made the transition. Sterling, who was extremely brave today, picked up the pass from the waistline of the penalty area.

Holgate was miserable. Once again, he was rudely knocked out of the baseline by Zhuo Yang from the air, and then hit the ground and rebounded with a header that went over the armpit of Pickford, who was showing his claws.

There is no technical content in attacking people, but the technical content of this header is very high, 2:2.

Everton is not a weak team after all. Vertical comparison this year should be the most complete in their history. Both sides played well for half of the game. Guardiola was just unlucky. He completely defeated Koeman tactically, but 2:2 was the final score.

After the game, Rooney had regained his composure, and Zhuo Yang found him and exchanged jerseys as agreed.

Rooney said: "Lao Zhuo, let's talk about it when we find an opportunity." Xiaopang made two jab and uppercut gestures. "I practiced boxing for a few days when I was a kid. Let's have some fun."

Zhuo Yang tilted his head and looked at him and smiled: At 32 years old, you are really not afraid of death.
