It's the end of the year again, it's the League Cup quarter-finals again, it's the King Power Stadium again, it's Leicester City again, and it's Zhuo Yang on the visiting team's bench again.

If you had fallen asleep in the stands at the King Power Stadium a year ago and woke up today, you would have thought the game was not over yet and that you had only slept for five minutes.

It was also at this time last year, in the quarter-finals of the League Cup between Manchester City and Leicester City, a goal in the second seat allowed Manchester City to take the lead.

Zhuo Yang was forced to urinate and went to the locker room. When he came out, the game changed. Midfielder penalty, 1:1.

Later, Zhuo Yang came on the scene in the 117th minute, and Manchester City blocked Leicester City 3-0 with penalty kicks. (See 5. Soaking in urine)

However, there are still some differences. For example, Spanish center back Eric Garcia, who turned 18 just 20 days ago, made his first appearance on behalf of Manchester City's first team, and he also started.

Garcia came to Manchester City from Basala Masia last summer for a transfer fee of 1.8 million, which was personally provided by Guardiola. I played in the U18 echelon league for one season last year and signed up for the first team this season.

As a central defender, Garcia's physical fitness is average, measuring 183 centimeters and 78 kilograms, which is hardly strong. However, Barcelona's central defender tradition has never pursued the ultimate in physical fitness. Ball play, positioning, and anticipation are always their core demands.

Garcia is a person who plays football with his brain. Zhuoyang has observed his game and feels that he does not look like an 18-year-old, but a 28-year-old. He is calm and steady. His shortcoming is that he lacks a little passion for adventure and can be too cautious.

Barcelona did not give up on Garcia. At that time, Puyol was his agent. For the transfer of Garcia, Guardiola, Puyol and Bartomeu also had conflicts. Lao Gua and Puyol My aunt didn't speak for more than half a year.

Garcia in 2001, Foden in 2000, Muric in 2000, and Felix Nmecha and Dele in 2000 were also present. Manchester City's youthful set today made the bench look like The 85-year-old Zhuo Yang is like a withered bone in a grave.

In the 14th minute, Otamendi passed the ball, and Gundogan made a juggling adjustment before suddenly volleying from the left side of the penalty area line. The football followed the ground line very cunningly and ran directly into the near corner. Manchester City 1:0.

Today, the Leicester City goalkeeper did not use Schmeichel, but 2 Ward, which shows that the home team also used many substitutes today.

Although not as rippling as Manchester City, forward Iheanacho, defensive midfielder Wilfred Ndidi, winger Demarre Gray, and central defender Caglar Seincu are the four.

With the addition of Zam Choudhury also starting, Leicester City's youth is also on fire.

Although neither Vardy nor Mahrez played, or even entered the game squad, Japanese veteran Shinji Okazaki is still on the bench, and his opportunities in Leicester City are getting fewer and fewer.

Okazaki-kun is also a marginal substitute in the World Cup lineup in the summer. There is serious doubt whether he can go to Qatar to play in the Asian Cup in the next few days.

.

Zhuo Yang was not in the starting lineup, allowing the media to curse Guardiola for not being a son of man.

The 25 caps stopped, the 15 caps in the Premier League ended at Chelsea, the 5 caps in the Champions League stopped at Huocun, the media and fans were more nostalgic for the Mad Hatter than Zhuo Yang himself, and the 2 caps in the League Cup became their last spiritual sustenance.

But damn Guardiola really didn't understand the charm, and the reporters had no choice but to curse him to always have a broken umbrella, leaking it in rainy days, but not lifting it in sunny days.

It rains a lot in the UK, but the British don't have the habit of holding umbrellas. People in suits and ties take cars when they go out, and others put their hoods on their heads. This is true no matter how heavy the rain is.

On the streets of England, the people holding umbrellas in the rain are basically foreigners like Zhuo Yang and Guardiola who have been here for a short time.

There was no rain at the King Power Stadium today, and the clouds looked very high. Zhuo Yang on the bench was so idle that he couldn't even count the stars.

Substitute vs. substitute, Manchester City still has the advantage on the court, with the ball possession rate reaching a terrifying 71%. However, Jesus, Sane and Dias in front did not seize the opportunity very well. The score has always been 1:0, Leicester City's third midfielder and central defender Maguire performed well.

Speaking of which, Shunliu was only Stones in 1994.

Lao Gua likes to do everything, especially in the midfield. Today he very whimsically placed the stone in the midfielder position to match with Teacher Jing and Foden.

Not to mention, he looks like a dog when he kicks stones. Maybe he will be Fei Niao's successor in the future.

In the 70th minute, French coach Claude Pierre did not move the young players on the field, but replaced the 31-year-old Spanish midfielder Ibora with winger Albrighton.

In 2 years at Aston Villa, he and Delph were called the midfield twins, and they still have two skills when playing on the wing.

In the 81st minute, Nigeria midfielder Ndidi suddenly sent an overhead pass. Eric Garcia was a little hesitant to call for offside. Albrighton seized the opportunity to counter the offside successfully and volleyed the ball in the penalty area. Broke the door of Muric, 1:1.

Can Zhuo Yang get on?

superior!

This year the League Cup has changed again. Before the semi-finals, the outcome is still determined by one game, but overtime will be played and it will directly enter a penalty shootout.

In the 85th minute, Zhuoyang replaced Sane after a brief warm-up. Fox City fans and coach Pierre despised Guardiola for being shameless.

At this time last year, Zhuoyang barely touched the ball after coming on as a substitute for 117 minutes. Then in the penalty shootout, Manchester City made three free throws. Leicester City missed three free throws. Fox, Vardy and Mahrez were heartbroken. .

Another penalty kick was exchanged. Guardiola was not a son of man, Zhuo Yang... a beast!

The 22-year-old Turkish center back Cialar Seinju is not a rookie. He has played well in the Bundesliga Freiburg in the past few seasons. After joining the Bundesliga this summer, he gradually replaced the veteran Morgan as Maguire's main partner.

Mahrez and Maguire will definitely not be retained in the future. The successors Leicester City has prepared for them are Demarre Gray and Soyinju.

In the 8th zone, he ran across the line and made an air cut. Maguire followed him closely on the inside.

Se Yinju was a little nervous. Originally, he was supposed to keep a certain defensive distance from Maguire, but because Zhuoyang pretended to sneak into the penalty area, he came over regardless of himself.

As a result, Zhuo Yang speeded up, Soyinju and Maguire were squeezed together, and Foden's cross passed just right.

The ball was given mediocrely, with a half-high knee kick. Zhuo Yang leaned forward to meet him. Se Yinju, who had just stepped on the brakes, quickly turned around and threw himself out bravely to block the eye.

Zhuoyang feinted to give up the ball and threw him to the ground. Then he turned around and fell to the ground to chase the ball and shoot from the ground. The football pierced through the gap in front of Maguire's eyes and hit the goal.

2:1, Leicester City: "..."

It’s over, not even the penalty shootout. Strangely enough, the Leicester City players and Coach Pierre felt relieved when the ball was conceded at the buzzer.

The young man relaxed, both sides. But Manchester City is relaxed in mood, and Leicester City is in action.

When Jesus and Mr. Jing jointly pressed for the first time, they couldn't get the ball out and turned around to find Gray who was in charge.

The two people's intention of sending and receiving was too obvious, and the speed and angle of the ball were also handled very casually. After being targeted by the ruthless old man Zhuoyang, the ball was immediately broken.

There were a bunch of crosses hanging on the waistline of the penalty area, giving Foden a delicious mouthful of empty goal cake.

3:1, the game can be completed in five minutes, so what else do you need a bicycle? Last year we exchanged penalty kicks to give you face, so don't be ungrateful.

Manchester City heads into the semi-finals of the League Cup. After returning to Manchester City for a day's rest, the whole team set off for the United Arab Emirates. The Club World Cup is the final honor of 2018.
