Golden Greenery

Coach Renato Gaucho is a liar. Before the game, he threatened to let Manchester City see Gremio's sharp defensive counterattack. However, from the beginning of the game, the defense showed it, but the counterattack was completely missing.

Gremio's bus was more determined than the Abu Dhabi Peninsula team.

As soon as the Mexican referee Cesar Ramos blew the whistle, the entire Gremio team retreated to within the 40-meter line. In principle, Barrios, who should be at the front, also returned to the front of the penalty area.

And three days ago, Peninsula players obviously respected Manchester City very much, while Gremio showed no respect. They wanted to show off their abilities today, and they immediately made defensive moves without any politeness.

In the 2nd minute, Zhuo Yang got the ball in the frontcourt and suddenly forced his way out of the double-team of Jairsen and Jeromell. Jeromell took a late step but did not close his leg, and the spikes were directly hung up. On Zhuo Yang's calf, it was a somersault on the spot.

Sitting on the ground, Zhuo Yang grinned and rolled up his socks. There were three obvious blood marks on his calf, as if he had been scratched by a dog.

South American players and South American football have always made more small moves than Europeans. It is estimated that referee Ramos is also used to it, so he only awarded a free kick without any sign.

We are all veterans, and now we have figured out the referee's standards of law enforcement. Manchester City is not a softie. Isn’t it easy to be worse than anyone else?

There are two types of people on the court who are most likely to be kicked: those who are famous and those who love dribbling. Zhuoyang has both.

The people on the court who are least likely to be kicked are the villains who are equally capable of kicking them back. Zhuoyang happens to be too.

A minute later, during the fight for the top, Zhuoyangjia's elbow hit hard and knocked Jeromel three meters away. After falling to the ground, he bounced again before hitting the ground. The Gremio captain barely recovered. When he lifted up his jersey, he saw the same three blood marks on his back and a large bruise on his waist.

I am not Cristiano Ronaldo who only complains, nor Messi, who is a blessing in disguise, nor Neymar, who is 30,000 miles away in one fell swoop. I have to keep my eyes open.

The defensive actions were still very fierce and the confrontation was fierce, but no one dared to mess with Zhuo Yang at will anymore.

This illustrates a truth: you can only make the world a kinder place if you become evil enough.

Gremio's defensive will was very resolute, and Manchester City's offense was also very patient. The game went on peacefully amid constant interruptions.

Although South American clubs are now becoming more popular among the people, with their deep foundation and dedicated defense, they are indeed not comparable to Asian teams.

Although Manchester City was able to attack furiously in the half, there were far fewer shooting opportunities than three days ago, and very few of them were threatening.

Gremio still has a double midfielder, but it lacks Arthur's offensive organization and scheduling. Both Jairson and Michel are strong defensive types, which cannot provide much inspiration for the offensive counterattack and can only rely on Luan and Feinu fought alone on the wing and were easily strangled by Manchester City.

In the 17th minute, Zhuo Yang was about 30 meters away from the right side. After taking the ball, he turned around and suddenly shot a shot. He hit a ground roll + an outer arc. It was a frivolous way of not sticking to the turf, and it was very ghostly.

Goalkeeper Grohe subconsciously judged that the football would miss the goal post at first, but by the time he realized that it had curved back halfway, it was already too late.

Grohe's heart went cold when he stayed there, but the football hit the goal post and bounced out of the baseline, which warmed his heart again.

Zhuo Yang muttered helplessly.

Although they were a bit unlucky, Manchester City finally had their first threatening shot.

But Gremio's defense remained tenacious.

In the 20th minute, Ding Ding couldn't stand the three people in front of him doing nothing. He personally deducted Edilson and then broke through to the baseline to pass.

The arc was slightly lower and was cleared by Jeromell's header at the front post.

The football was swung to the other corner of the penalty area, and Zhuoyang took two steps back and volleyed sideways to swing his leg.

At such a close distance, center back Kahneman appeared out of nowhere and flew to block the hole of the gun. The 'bang' of the football hitting him and his muffled 'changchi' sounded at the same time, sounding like the ball deflating.

Frankly speaking, Zhuoyang admires Kanneman. It's as if this body of flesh isn't his.

In the 24th minute, Feiniao intercepted Lu An in the frontcourt. After a cross pass, Zhuoyang swung up and took another long shot.

This time Grae was finally called upon, but he missed the ball.

Sterling always appears in such a second position, but he is happy.

As long as happiness does not decline, there are always more difficulties than solutions. With such a big goal, he went for a tricky angle and missed the post.

It is basically difficult to break into the penalty area and shoot. Even long shots outside the penalty area are not easy.

In the 28th minute, Zhuoyang shot again, this time from a defensive double-team, so it is understandable that he came out of the corner.

As a rising star in Europe who is ahead of the rest of Brazil, Jesus was defended for half an hour without a chance to shoot. He was really embarrassed in front of his compatriots, so he was particularly active.

It seemed that Zhuo Yang was expected to shoot from that corner. As soon as he raised his leg, Jesus sprinted towards the back post, hoping for a follow-up shot. As a result, Zhuoyang missed the shot, and Jesus ran too hard and braked without anti-lock.

He dropped his buttocks to the ground and then straddled the goal post.

Everyone's lower body tightened. Zhuo Yang thought of Zhang Tiedan three years ago.

"...Shunliu, how are you?" After helping him up, everyone greeted him with great concern. Of course, there are also curious people like Sterling and Silva.

After Jesus stood up straight with a normal expression, he showed a mysterious smile.

"Brother Zhuo, you don't understand. Sometimes being soft has its benefits."

Everyone was relieved. From then on, in addition to "Shunliu", Jesus had another nickname of "softie".

In the 38th minute, Gremio finally had their first shot, and the Manchester City players couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief for them.

The hot soft egg fouled in the retreat defense and kicked Barrios down. Gremio got a free kick about 40 meters away. This was almost Barrios' only offensive contribution in the first half.

Right back Edilson has a hard toe, and he unexpectedly fired directly from such a long distance. The rate of fire was extremely fast, but apart from startling Ederson who was basically doing nothing, it had no real effect.

This was Gremio's only shot in the first half. Although the defense was very good, the 'sharp counterattack that surprised Manchester City' was completely ignored.

At the end of the first half, Manchester City had 1 ball possession and the score was 0:0.

Guardiola asked Zhuoyang: "Looking at this posture, is the opponent trying to hold back a penalty kick today?"

Zhuoyang stared and thought for a long time. "Are they stupid?"

"That's not true." Lao Gua said, "I think he just looks down on you."

"Why?"

"You know why I don't like the forest?"

Zhuoyang replied without thinking: "Because you are bald and will be disgusted with all lush things."

Gua: "...Yes. To the Gremio players, you are the forest, and it is a forest that is far away and rarely seen. So they do not believe in evil and want to challenge you."

"Jiang Zi." Zhuo Yang asked, "Then, should we satisfy them?"
