Golden Greenery

The ball possession rate was 717, and then Manchester City tied.

Burnley is indeed not a weak team, big. But the Red Wine Legion, seventh, is still 7 points behind Arsenal, which is sixth, and 32 points behind Manchester City, which ranks first.

What is the concept of 32 points in 25 rounds? Everton, ranked ninth, only scored a total of 31 points in 25 rounds.

In the 20th minute of the first half, Ding Ding took a short corner kick. After receiving a cross from the B seat, the right back Debich shot directly from outside the corner of the penalty area. A world wave hit the corner and Manchester City achieved an ideal 1:0 start. .

Before and after this goal, Manchester City was always in a half-court attack and defense they were very familiar with.

Manchester City and Burnley have already met twice this season, one in the ninth round of the league, one on 1/32 of the FA Cup, one 3:0 and one 4:1, both at home.

Compared with those two games, Manchester City has one more Laporte on the bench in this game - the old captain Kompany has returned from injury to start, and Burnley has one more Aaron Lennon.

In August 2003, Lennon set a record for the youngest appearance in the Premier League at Leeds United (1), but he was replaced by Fabio Fabio two months later.

The current record for the smallest appearance in the Premier League is 1 set by former Fulham defender Matthew Briggs in May 2007. It is also the worst among the 'top ten'. The 27-year-old Briggs is now in England. Playing semi-professional games in the eighth division.

By the way, the record for the oldest player in the Premier League was set by former Manchester City goalkeeper John Bridge at the age of 43 years and 162 days in a match against Rangers.

In fact, among the 'smallest top ten', only Francesco and Wayne Rooney finally became elites, and Lennon was the most meteoric one.

Lennon came from the "Young Guards" Leeds United at the end of its glory days, and later won three championships with Tottenham, flying together with Bale. Former Leeds coach David O'Reilly insisted that Lennon's talent was more outstanding than Rooney.

Having participated in 28 consecutive European Championships and the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, the short right winger nicknamed the 'Electric Mouse' was considered to be Beckham's successor at the time.

But the 2010 World Cup also became a watershed for Lennon. Like the former German genius Deisler, he fell into a glass body and was unable to extricate himself. Since then, he has not been selected for the England national team again.

Until Pochettino took office at Tottenham in 2013, Lennon gradually lost his position and had to leave Everton in 2015 to make a living.

But after 201 Everton, Lennon could only sit on the bench. His last appearance for Everton was in February last year.

One day at the end of April last year, Lennon was found trapped in a motorway tunnel near London. They suspected that he was suicidal and called the police.

When Sir Arthur from Scotland Yard arrived, he almost shot him to death in order to prevent his suicide. Fortunately, Lennon chose to raise his hands at the last moment and was successfully arrested.

After this, it was confirmed that Lennon suffered from severe depression.

Per Mertesacker, president of the European Players Union, led a research survey in 2013.

Final data shows that 38% of current players and 35% of retired players have suffered from depression or anxiety at some stage.

And because of the tragedy of Robert Enke, since that investigation and study, the players' union has attached great importance to the psychological problems of its colleagues.

With the intervention of the players' union, Lennon received psychological treatment from the clinic, followed by a period of psychological counseling courses, which finally made him successfully get out of the shadow of depression, and he suddenly became much more cheerful.

A transfer to Burnley in the winter window was something Lennon actively pursued. People move living trees and move dead trees, and he wants to change places.

.

The game against Manchester City was Lennon's first appearance for Burnley after his transfer.

Burnley took 7 shots in the game and only 3 were on target.

In the third left corner kick, Barnes headed the ball and Lennon shot in the penalty area, but it was confiscated by Ederson because he did not exert sufficient force.

In the first counterattack in the second half, after a melee broke out in the Manchester City penalty area, Lennon stepped in and shot. The football was saved by Ederson and bounced on the door frame.

In the 82nd minute, substitute full-back Matthew Lowton made a long pass from the backcourt. Lennon broke through Danilo from the wing and then dribbled the ball into the bottom line of the penalty area.

In front of the goal, Iceland midfielder Gudmundsson blasted the football into the goal with his left foot at the back post. The distance was too close, and even though Edson tried his best to eat shit, he didn't even pounce on it.

1:1, Manchester City was tied in this way.

In fact, it's not that Lennon was so brave. He only had these few highlights in the whole game. But these few flashes of light are quite refreshing for the 31-year-old ‘fallen genius’.

The truly brave person is Sterling.

Just 10 minutes before Burnley scored, Gundogan fell to the ground and shoveled the pass in the penalty area during a counterattack. Sterling was also at the back post, and it was still almost an empty goal.

He was much further from the goal than Gudmundsson, and even with the ruler of the most unscrupulous cloth seller, he could not exceed two meters.

But Sterling shamelessly performed masturbation in public.

Guardiola was so angry that he almost rolled on the sidelines. After patting the ground, Lao Gua immediately replaced this shameless bastard with the 18-year-old Dias.

Dias may not work, but Lao Gua cannot convince himself without replacing Sterling.

Manchester City only made one change in the entire game, because all the available offensive talents were on the court. Fei Dingjing, Akun b seat.

I don’t know why, but in this game, there were a lot of unnecessary and redundant feeding behaviors between Aguero, Sterling, and the B-seat trident, as if they were all polite to each other, and wasted many good shooting opportunities. .

Ding Ding and Teacher Jing were worried, so they simply started to work alone, but after all, they were not shooters, they were just performing wild shots.

The midfielder doesn't pass the ball and the forwards pass the ball blindly. Manchester City's passing, running and passing and control don't need a bicycle. There were 20 shots in the game, and the only real threats were Debich and Sterling.

Fortunately, Manchester City has a strong foundation in the standings. Even because Manchester United's game will be played one day later, this draw temporarily expanded the lead to 15 points.

.

It's much harder to miss than to score, but Sterling did it.

Former Chelsea winger Pat Nevin bluntly said during a live TV broadcast: "Such a simple goal and Sterling can kick it away. This is definitely the worst shot of the season."

So when Zhuoyang returned to the team the next day, Sterling, who was always happy, was still like a street rat, with his ragged little eyes showing a guilty conscience, as if there was something going on at home.

Zhuoyang hooked Sterling's neck: "Boy, the plane is flying beautifully. I won't be able to reach your level in less than ten years."

"Here, let me tell you a new joke. You must make me laugh. Otherwise, I will let you masturbate again, not the football kind, you know."

This obviously doesn't trouble Sterling.

"My mom farted very loudly this morning. Do you know why?"

"Why?"

"She's wearing bell bottoms."

"Pfft~~~Hahahaha..."
