Golden Greenery

Many years later, when he retired from the British Championship at Crystal Palace, Mamadou Sakho recalled that distant afternoon in Manchester when Zhuo Yang praised him as a flower.

At that time, Manchester City was not completely considered a wealthy club, but they had just opened the huge golden door. At that time, people were still more accustomed to calling the Etihad the City Stadium.

At that time, Manchester City had just received the title of Super Blue Moon, but it had not yet become famous around the world. Super Blue Moon was first called out by Zhuo Yang, who invented it and gave it to Manchester City.

That day was Zhuoyang's second year at Manchester City. He had not left yet, and no one expected that he would create incredible miracles in the near future. Although everyone knew that Zhuo Yang was a man born for miracles, no one thought of it.

That afternoon's game was not a miracle. Maybe it was just a small step in the process of creating a miracle, maybe not.

But that afternoon, Zhuo Yang's first goal was indeed very beautiful, and it gave Manchester City, which had been unable to attack for a long time, a 1:0 lead before the end of the first half. It was like the window paper had been pierced, and the cool air and the dark fragrance flowed out together. Come in.

Referee Danny Swarbrick's whistle was like the cry of a goose that finally got out of a torn sack, hoarse and impatient. As the midfielder walked down, Sakho deliberately waited slowly for Zhuoyang to come up.

He was not disappointed. Although Sakho could no longer recall exactly what Zhuo Yang praised him at his retirement ceremony many years later, he could clearly remember that it was indeed a compliment.

Sakho also didn't remember that when he left the field at midfield that day, he carefully distinguished Zhuo Yang's sincerity again, but still didn't see any problems. His sincerity was beyond doubt. As a result, Sakho quickly forgot that he was passed by a ghost in the process of losing the ball.

What Guardiola and Hodgson said to their respective teams at halftime, no one will remember many years later, and it doesn't matter, maybe they still don't feel any difference in the game.

Only one minute into the second half, Crystal Palace decisively ended the embarrassment of not having a shot in the game, and the shot was quite threatening.

Mamadou Sakho suddenly took the ball from the back and rushed forward. At that moment, he felt like Moses splitting the Red Sea. Manchester City was a little messed up by him.

Far past the center circle, Fernando decided to meet him himself, but Sakho distributed the ball like Xavi. After receiving the ball, Belgian forward Christian Benteke relied on his strong body rather than technical lateral dribbling at the front of the penalty area. When he reached the top of the arc, he suddenly turned around and volleyed.

From Sakmo's grandpa's forward drive to Bent Croben's inward cut, it was all beyond the expectations of the Manchester City people. Fortunately, Ederson's joints were not rusted by the inaction in the first half. His fingertips rubbed against him after he fell to the ground. He picked up the ball a little bit and let it hit the post, before being cleared by Stones.

Sakho didn't stop after passing the ball. When Benteke shot, he settled in the penalty area like a serious center forward. He was very dissatisfied that Benteke forced the shot and failed to pass, but he did not realize that he ran into the visual blind spot in the direction of Benteke's movement.

However, Zhuo Yang still expressed his approval with a smile. This time, he may indeed be sincere.

Crystal Palace captain Scott Dann didn't know whether to praise Sakho. Although his forward movement gave the team a threatening shot, and it was the first time in the game, Sakho stole Dann's life. Dann felt that this was not a good sign because there was too much defensive pressure today.

Dane did not remind Sacco;

It's not that he shouldn't leave his position and rush in, but he knows that it's useless to remind him. This guy doesn't listen to others.

On the 4th lap of the pass, Cabaye cursed in his mind before braking suddenly and turning around to reach the ball. However, the ball accidentally hit his foot and stopped wide, and the ball was cut off by his penis.

Debutin dodged the ball and then sent it forward, Zhuo Yang started from the left.

He penetrated the extension line of the small penalty area from the corner of the penalty area. Before Sakho could run back, Zhuo Yang passed directly to the other side without forcing anything.

The football passed the toes of Dane and Sufumensah, and the person who reached the far post was Aguero, 2:0.

By this time, Crystal Palace was as stubborn as it was in the first half, and it had lost its meaning. The Premier League could only be beaten to death, not scared to death.

World No. 2 Mamadou Sakho once again made an outstanding contribution to the team at this critical moment. He bravely tangled up with Leroy Sane in defense and both fell to the ground.

After getting up, Sakho glanced at Sane contemptuously: Only Zhuoyang is my opponent. Please respect yourself, little guy.

Sane rubbed his legs, rubbed them again after running a few steps, and then waved to the court. He is a man who treats himself very delicately.

Guardiola quickly replaced Sane with Sterling, replacing exquisiteness with happiness.

In Game 5, he counterattacked Ghanaian Jeffrey Schlupp, and then passed the ball to the left to find Zhuoyang. Just like ten minutes ago, the Manchester City Trident is always good at such half-court counterattacks.

Zhuoyang accelerated twice in a short distance in the middle, got rid of Sakho and then crossed to the far end. Sterling got real happiness, 3:0.

The first time he got the ball, Jason Pangchon, who came up as a substitute for Cabaye, made a petty tackle that made Sakho curl his lips. He strode forward to deal with Zhuoyang himself.

When Crystal Palace centre-back Mamadou Sakho's flying Tomahawk tackle stopped sliding, the man standing in front of him was Manchester City centre-back Stones, and both of them felt that the other was baffled.

Zhuoyang dodged the two of them and passed a long pass to the right, and the trident connected again. Sterling dribbled the ball and then lobbed into the penalty area. Aguero flew forward and rushed to the top, 4:0.

In Game 7, Zhuo Yang made a mysterious move from behind the penalty area and cut into the middle. Sakho was tempted to run with him and then took off. Zhuo Yang shouted, "Kun!" ’.

Aguero made an urgent position outside the far post. The football passed over Zhuo Yang's head. Aguero volleyed the ball in front of the goal. Sterling's goal was empty, so he was even happier. 5:0.

In the eighth shovel pass, Delph, who came on as Aguero's substitute, used his right foot in the penalty area to poke Sakho away with his prehistoric butt. He suddenly turned around and made a world wave. Changhong went straight into the blind corner, 6:0.

This is a magical game, especially in the second half. Five goals are not incredible, but they all appeared in 'X 19th minute'. 4 is not such a coincidence.

But many years later, on the day of his retirement, Mamadou Sakho had forgotten the most magical thing about this game, and also forgotten that all six goals conceded in the game had something to do with him.

Sakho also forgot that the man of the match that day was Raheem Happy Sterling, who scored two goals and passed two passes after coming off the bench. Zhuoyang did not score in the second half. He only broke the deadlock for Manchester City in the first half.

Mamadou Sakho also forgot that after the game that day, he wanted to go to Zhuoyang to exchange jerseys, but he only saw Zhuoyang's strong triangle-shaped back, and he threw the jersey to the blue moon in the stands.

Many years later, on the day Mamadou Sakho retired, he had forgotten many things, but he clearly remembered that Zhuo Yang praised him like a song of praise on that distant afternoon in Manchester.

That day, he was number two in the world, and he will never forget it.
