Golden Greenery

The last game at the end of the year has never been a good thing for Manchester City, but Guardiola still did not expect that the game against Crystal Palace would be so unlucky.

In the past four years, Manchester City has not won the final game at the end of the year, whether it is home or away, it is a draw or a loss. On the last day last year, we lost 1:2 to Liverpool at Anfield.

This year, everyone is optimistic about the pace of winning and losing in the Premier League. After all, Crystal Palace is not a tough opponent. They and Bournemouth and Newcastle, which they just defeated before, are currently hovering on the edge of the relegation zone.

Moreover, when the two sides met in the sixth round, Crystal Palace was beaten by Manchester City in a disastrous half. Is it okay to celebrate the New Year with a score of 3:0?

On the last day of 2017, it was drizzling in London, and Shelhurst Park looked like a piece of frosted glass that had not been wiped clean.

Guardiola carefully selected and sent out a starting lineup that he believed was the most reasonable to deal with Crystal Palace.

The fight between Ederson and Debich has turned the page, and both men apologized to the team in the dressing room.

The two of them took the initiative to apologize. Manchester City does not have this tradition. In the past, they just fought. No one apologized and no one wanted to hear it.

The two publicly reconciled in front of the camera yesterday, saying it was all a misunderstanding. To be honest, it has disappointed the millions of people who have set up their stools and are ready to eat.

The reporter asked Zhuo Yang, and he told lies as always with his eyes open: There was no fight, anyway, I didn't see it or heard about it. If any of you want to know, you can tell me.

As long as I have a thick skin, I am the king of the world.

Ederson, Walker, Otamendi, Mangala, Danilo, Fernando, Tintin, Gundogan, Jesus, Sane, B seat.

Guardiola spent two buckets of spit before getting Zhuo Yang to agree to be a substitute in the second half.

"No one doubts that you will score goals one after another, and it will not be difficult for you. But you are the king of the ball..."

"Speak politely and don't curse! You are the king of football, and your whole family is the king of football."

"Shut up! You are the best...in the world, so you should complete some difficult things and give yourself a little challenge."

"What's the meaning?"

"It's like playing a game. Masters, don't just focus on massacring novice villages. You'll lose your status. Masters have to fight hell-level dungeons. Are you right?"

"Fart neatly."

"What does it mean to score a goal in ninety minutes? To score a goal in half an hour is awesome."

"Pep, your provocation method is very cheap."

"Just say whether it works or not."

It works! For the sake of his ankle, Zhuo Yang agreed to go up there and brush for half an hour in the second half, and Lao Gua's statement about "difficulty copy" really interested him.

In the first half of the schedule, the Premier League, Champions League, Club World Cup, and League Cup are spinning. Manchester City has now entered a period of physical adjustment. The risk of uncontrollable injuries to players is increasing due to fatigue.

Don't dare to get hurt! Guardiola can't afford the injury.

What are you afraid of?

There are no cowardly teams in the Premier League that surrender their weapons, and Crystal Palace is even less so. Coach Hodgson is also a stubborn old man.

After a sluggish start to the season, Crystal Palace has 3 wins, 5 draws and 1 loss in the past nine games.

Including 2:1 Chelsea, it seems a bit crazy.

Huo Taigong did not hide and tuck with Guardiola. He came up with a head-on confrontation, using his own single-line fighting force to overcome Manchester City's fatigue.

In the 10th minute of the first half, Jesus took the ball on the right side of the frontcourt. Crystal Palace No. 10 Andros Townsend came up very quickly. Jesus was soft and weak, so he immediately changed the direction of the ball.

Throw away his Brazilian ancestor and push the ball too far.

During the scramble, Jesus forced his right leg to reach for it. As a result, he stepped on the ball and sat on the golf cart. He circled on the spot and dropped himself to the ground. What's more, it was a brutal one-liner.

Danilo knocked Townsend out of the side, who had taken advantage of him and wanted to launch a sneak attack. Jesus also buried his head in the grass and rubbed his legs.

I twisted my knees and sprayed for a long time before getting back up again.

But just five minutes later, Jesus couldn't hold on any longer and could only wave for a substitution.

Zhuoyang said let me come in, and Guardiola called Aguero.

Jesus handed over to Akun with tears in his eyes, and was coaxed by Zhuo Yang for a long time after coming down.

"Brother Zhuo...it hurts. You should be careful...you are old. You are thirty-three years old. If you are not careful, you will become hemiplegic."

Zhuoyang is used to it.

The injury caused by Jesus' foot slipping has a lot to do with today's slippery rainy day. The game conditions were fair to both sides, and Crystal Palace was also on the right track at home.

Bakari Sakho, the main center back in the sixth round and the "second in the world", has faded out of the main lineup. Now he is partnered with captain Scott Dann by 2 Kings, and sometimes new players are used. , Riedewald transferred from Ajax.

Last season at Ajax, Madiburg defender Westerman was Riedewald's substitute. However, Riedewald played as a midfielder in this game.

Just two minutes after Jesus left the field injured, Riedewald picked up the ball and dribbled the ball in midfield.

Ding Ding really didn't want to kill him, it was him who forced the ball into the arch of Ding Ding's foot.

For Crystal Palace, this position of losing the ball is very important. De Bruyne's attacking skills are far from Kaká's master.

Captain Dann blocked it from the side and collided with Ding Ding.

Tintin rolled twice and then climbed up. Dann hugged his leg and the pain was worse than Jesus just now. Then, he was also replaced, and Mr. Huo replaced Martin Kelly with a sad face.

At this time, Lao Gua and Huo Taigong found a common language, and the two stood side by side in the drizzle to denounce this damn Christmas schedule.

.

To say that No. 1 Manchester City has a big disadvantage in front of them, it's really not the case. Except for ball possession rate, the two sides are similar in all statistics, and each has one injury.

Even making a fool of yourself is a family affair.

Crystal Palace goalkeeper Hennessey's second goal went directly to the Manchester City backcourt, and forwards Benkert and Mangala started racing.

Ederson naturally wanted to attack, but it was dark and the road was slippery and the society was complicated. The football ran a little faster on the water and grass, and the three of them met just outside the penalty area.

Ederson swung his big foot to make a clearance and kicked the football right on his teammate Mangala. Mangala felt inexplicable and rushed into the penalty area with the football, next to Benteke who never left.

The former Liverpool striker is a clever guy who takes the first kick and shoots into an empty goal.

Turf said: Don’t get me wrong, today’s slipperiness is not directed at anyone, but to say that everyone present is rubbish.

Benteke missed the kick and hit the inexplicable Mangala.

A second-rate guy dares to waste an opportunity like this. Aguero, the top scorer in Manchester City's history, can't stand it anymore.

Compatriot Otamendi gave a direct pass from the back line. Aguero received the ball in the midfield and circled past several people before letting Gundogan run.

Sane passed the ball, Aguero was in the middle, but he gave the ball back. If you really can't find an excuse, it's because the ball is too slippery.

Sufo-Mensah committed a second penalty, he cleared the ball at the back post and kicked the ball into the middle.

Who would have imagined that he would kick a football here? Aguero couldn't think of it either. As a result, Manchester City's top scorer in team history seemed completely frozen, watching the football float past his eyes in silence, not daring to move, as if it was a ghost.

Zhuo Yang covered his coat and spat out the hot drink in his mouth.

Guardiola suddenly held his head and raised his head to the sky as if he was in pain. As a result, his feet slipped and he was about to fall straight back and hit the ground. Fortunately, Arteta next to him was agile and grabbed his waist and caught him steadily with a lunge.

The standard tango dancer's posture of the man on top and the woman on the bottom.

‘Pfft—’ Zhuo Yang sprayed out the other half of the mouth that he had managed to hold.
