Golden Greenery

After the 23rd round of the Premier League, the nerve-wracking 'Christmas and New Year schedule' finally got a breather.

This "little bit" is because there is no game in the middle of the week, and the major powers finally have a week to recuperate.

Just like getting off work on time and taking weekend breaks all year round, happiness will arise spontaneously.

But this little happiness belongs to others, and Manchester City has no share. They must play in the 17th round of the make-up match that was postponed due to the Club World Cup in midweek.

Swansea doesn't have a role either, because they are Manchester City's opponents in the make-up match.

'Swan Sea' Swansea have played very badly this season. In the first fourteen rounds, they only won two games against Crystal Palace and newly promoted Manchester United. They were at the bottom of the table starting from the 15th round and have been at the bottom until now.

At Christmas, Paul Clement, who took up the job with a high profile early last year and led Swansea to successfully avoid relegation last season, was dismissed. It’s the ‘old’ assistant coach who followed Ancelotti all the way from Chelsea to Paris, and then from Real Madrid to Bayern.

This is the third consecutive year that Swansea have sacked their manager at the end of the year. Two days after Clement's departure, 52-year-old Portuguese coach Carlos Carvajal became Swansea's new coach.

Carvajal has a rich coaching resume. Swansea is already the 14th team he has coached. This also shows that he is not a famous coach. How can famous coaches change jobs so frequently.

Carvajal also just finished school and was promoted again. He brought Sheffield Wednesday, a veteran English Championship team that was almost promoted last season, into the bottom half of the standings, but was fired on Christmas Day.

What is Swansea Club planning for this coaching change? Maybe I just want to have a good chance of changing hands like changing knives.

The old man Clemente was dismissed from get out of class. According to previous habits, he should go to Ancelotti again. After class 201, he went to Bayern.

But now An Pang himself is still middle-aged and unemployed, which leaves Clement with nowhere to invest. However, he heard that the head coach position of Reading in the English Championship was unstable, so he took the initiative to apply.

Reading’s head coach is Stam, that’s Stam.

After Carlos Carvajal took office, Swansea had 4 games, 1 win, 1 draw and 2 losses, which was pretty good. However, the hole dug by the old man was too deep. Swansea is still at the bottom, and it is worse than the last place. Second place West Brom has 5 points less.

Of course, they have one game less and will make up for it today.

Three days ago, he just experienced a very exhausting and fierce battle, and Delph had a new injury number. He was kicked by Firmino in the game against Liverpool and injured his ankle ligament. It is expected that he will need to rest for at least a month.

But Manchester City's deep bench advantage was reflected at this time. Compared with three days ago, Guardiola calmly replaced five starters.

Goalkeeper Ederson, center backs Stones and Otamendi, these three defenders cannot be replaced, so Lao Gua can only use people without doubt once again.

Anfield was scolded by Zhuo Yang on the court. After coming down, the three people immediately apologized to the entire team with a very sincere attitude. What else can be done? Everyone naturally chooses to forgive.

Right back Walker and defensive midfielder Feiniao are both physical madmen, and they have made planned adjustments before. Now it is a bit redundant to rest for three days before playing.

Captain Zhuo Yang also started, and he told Guardiola that he couldn't bear it.

Against Liverpool, he only managed four shots in the entire game, and they were blocked three times by his old brother Detu. How could he not be frustrated?

Tu Ye didn't fare well either. He strained his thigh at the last moment of the game and was diagnosed after the game and had to rest for three weeks. The rivalry between brothers in the same room has made the entire Premier League excited.

Left back Zinchenko. In fact, today's game with clear strengths and weaknesses is more suitable for Danilo, but Lao Gua really hates his invisible sinkhole attribute.

Partnering with Zhuoyang in the trident are Seat B and Sane. These two came on as substitutes for the last 20 minutes three days ago. They also had a lot of energy and did not vent enough.

The most important thing is that De Bruyne and David Silva are back together. The two midfield geniuses of Blue Moon start together. The famous "Fedding Seat" finally got a straight line and feels refreshed. Thrilling Liberty Stadium.

Ding Ding is coming back from injury. In fact, he could come back three days ago, but Guardiola has held him back until now.

Silva's premature son Mateo has passed the most dangerous stage. Although he needs to stay in the hospital due to his frail congenital condition, his fresh little life has been saved, and the rest is to slowly grow stronger. .

His girlfriend Jessica also survived the postoperative complications and now has no other problems except for some postpartum depression.

David Silva has been absent for a whole month since he rushed back to take care of his family after playing in the Club World Cup. In fact, he called back twice and asked Lao Gua if he needed help, but Lao Gua persuaded him that family was the most important thing.

Men work hard to earn money outside the home just for their wives and children. Of course, except Zhuo Yang, he is a softie.

The team lost to Liverpool, but Silva did not call again and returned directly to the team the next day. When he came back, he practiced hard for three days. He worked so hard that he would feel despicable if he was not allowed to go to Laogua.

.

Zhuo Yang was holding back, so were Silva and Ding Ding, and the entire Manchester City team was holding back.

In a battle with Liverpool, the Manchester City team only had 11 shots, while Liverpool had 1 game in which this statistic was suppressed by the opponent.

However, in the last twenty minutes of Anfield, Manchester City Zhuoyang first returned to the defense to stabilize the morale of the army, and then returned to the front to lead the counterattack, successfully restoring the team's morale.

Although the final score was 3:4, all Manchester City players believed that if the game lasted even 10 minutes, they would definitely equalize or even reverse Liverpool.

But time is a ruthless executioner after all, and Manchester City almost choked out a mouthful of blood when it came to an abrupt halt.

A blessing in disguise, a blessing in disguise. A 3:4 defeat did not become Manchester City's Waterloo, but instead inspired the team's courage even more.

Winning streak is motivation, but it is also huge pressure. Now the motivation is still there, but the heavy burden is still lifted.

Swansea are also unlucky. After the coaching change, their record finally improved a bit. They just drew with Newcastle three days ago, and then they turned around and met Manchester City who were looking for trouble.

After this game, the next four days will be Liverpool, which has just finished playing against Manchester City. In a fight between gods and goddesses, who did Swansea provoke whom?

Premier League teams engage in an arms race every season, to varying degrees. Swansea failed to achieve results in its transfer operations last summer, thus continuing its fate of being a relegation favorite.

201 Sanches was loaned from Bayern, Timmy Abraham, who performed well at Bristol City last season, was loaned from Chelsea, and center Bony, who was very good at Stoke City, was bought from Manchester City for 12 million.

But Sanches was full of resentment because he only liked Manchester United, Paris and Chelsea, and he felt humiliated by being loaned to Swansea. He has never been able to play well with emotions, and now it is difficult for him to even make the squad.

Abraham also lacks the bravery he had in the Championship last season, and he still has a glass body. He has rested much more than played this season.

Bony is purely a loan genius. He is a good onion whenever he is rented out. But after being completely bought out by Swansea, letting him start in the starting lineup is a slap in the face.

The three heavyweight signings on the front line have turned into three useless pieces. This is partly the fault of former coach Clement.

Zhuoyang, who has already tied his 21 consecutive kills, leads the team onto the Liberty Stadium. The whole world is waiting to see him set a new record.
