Chapter 183 M?nchengladbach
Zhuo Yang's memory of Monchengladbach still remains in 2006. On May 8 of that year, Madiburg, whom he led, defeated Monchengladbach 7-0 at home in Victor, thus winning the 2005 2005 trophy one round ahead of schedule.
-Bundesliga champion in the 2006 season.
That was Madiburg's only top league championship so far, and it was also Zhuoyang's first top league championship, which was very memorable.
In that game, Zhuo Yang scored a hat-trick. After the game, Borussia Monchengladbach head coach Horst Koppel was involved in a lawsuit for assaulting U.S. Army Sergeant Riedel Harriman, and was dismissed from his position as coach by Borussia Monchengladbach.
He became the last coach to be dismissed in the famous year of "Zhuo Yang's Hat Trick Curse".
Since then, Zhuoyang has basically lost Monchengladbach in his memory.
The following year Borussia was relegated to the Bundesliga 2, and came back a year later, but never showed much energy. It was not until these two seasons that they regained their former glory and entered the European theater.
Manchester City's first game in the 2016-17 Champions League was against Monchengladbach at home. The game was postponed for a whole day due to heavy rain.
Eleven years have passed, and Borussia Mönchengladbach is now a completely unfamiliar team to Zhuo Yang, with no one even remotely familiar with it.
Last season, Borussia Monchengladbach lost five games in a row, and the famous coach Fife immediately resigned and left. Without a suitable candidate on hand, Borussia's top management had no choice but to ask the second team coach Andre Schubert to make a temporary transition.
Who knew that Schubert's transition would be out of control, with 8 wins and 2 draws in 10 Bundesliga games, including a 3:1 defeat of Guardiola's Bayern. At the end of the season, under the leadership of Schubert, Borussia Monchengladbach
It turned out that the deputy squad leader advanced into the European theater.
The times are good, this is the name of a man. Schubert, who was born in the 1970s, had very mediocre coaching results whether he was in the German second division St. Pauli or the second team of Borussia Monchengladbach. He was not even a professional player, but a pure player.
A football fanatic, he started college studies in coaching at a young age and is a standard academic coach.
Schubert's good luck may lie in the fact that he has a bald head that is shinier than Guardiola's, which has become popular in recent years.
Zhuoyang is not familiar with it, but Guardiola is very familiar with this Borussia Monchengladbach. Last season, he played 34 games at Bayern, 28 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses. Among them, he lost one and drew one against Borussia Monchengladbach. He was the biggest sufferer of the unparalleled Bayern.
.
It’s this Borussia, it’s this Schubert, it’s still a familiar formula.
Yesterday, Barcelona beat Celtic 7-0 at home. It is obvious that the Scottish Premier League team is a loser in Group C of the Champions League. So whether Manchester City and Barcelona can easily perform a duo in this group depends on today's game.
.
Zhuoyang sat on the bench, Dutch referee Kuipers blew the whistle, and the game started.
Midfielders Delph and Fernando have minor injuries, and David Silva seems to be not just tired now, but may be in some trouble. They are both on the injured list today.
Aguero started today, and his three-game ban from the Premier League was not enough for the Champions League. He formed a front three with Sterling and Navas today.
The midfielders are Tintin, Gundogan, Fernando, the defense is Zabaleta, Stones, Otamendi, Kolarov, and the goalkeeper is of course Bravo.
Aguero is a bit suffocated. He is banned from the Premier League and has no part in the much-anticipated Manchester derby. The new Argentina national team coach Edgar Pausa prefers to have a strong center forward at the front.
During the two national team match days, Argentina played two World Cup qualifiers, and Aguero had no part in it. Lucas Prato, who was 1.88 meters tall, occupied the center position. Pausa persuaded Messi to return
The national team currently has a high prestige, so that’s for sure.
Aguero vented all his frustrations on both sides of the ball in this game.
In the 9th minute, Sterling took the ball with his back and knocked back. Kolarov, who followed up from the left, passed a low pass into the penalty area for the first time. Aguero grabbed the ball and shot past the net. Manchester City 1:0.
The 20-year-old Danish center back Andreas Christensen made a mistake in this goal. He should not have been bypassed by Aguero so easily. Christensen is from Chelsea and started last season.
He was loaned to Gladbach.
But 3 minutes later, Christensen made up for it. Aguero received Ding Ding's cross in the penalty area. An excellent shooting position was blocked by Christensen, and he didn't even stretch his feet.
Aguero was not reckless. He was very smart and selfless and passed the ball to Gundogan who came in from the left. Guo Degang's volley went astray like Xiao Shenyang's culottes.
The 25-year-old Christoph Kramer was born in Bochum and became famous at Bayer Leverkusen, but eventually replaced Granit Xhaka, who moved to Arsenal, in the core midfield position at Borussia Monchengladbach.
In 2014, Loew took Kramer to Brazil, and he is currently the only German international in the Borussia team.
In the 24th minute, Ding Ding passed a small direct pass in front of the penalty area. Swedish midfielder Oscar Winter was retreating at high speed and stretched his legs in an extremely awkward posture, but blocked the football to Gundogan in the middle.
Gundogan wiped the ball and entered the penalty area. Kramer, who was following him, quickly pinned him to the ground. Referee Kupes awarded a penalty kick.
Aguero took the penalty and scored in one stroke, Manchester City 2:0.
In fact, the best performance of Borussia in this game was their goalkeeper, the 28-year-old Swiss Jan Sommer. In the first 70 minutes, Manchester City shot 20 shots, 12 of which were within the goal frame, but
Only two goals were conceded, one of which was a penalty kick. Sommer tried his best and even performed a three-game save.
At halftime, coach Schubert replaced Kramer. His role today was not obvious. In the 53rd minute, Borussia also replaced the Belgian midfielder, 26-year-old Thorgan Hazard.
The younger brother of Chelsea's Eden Hazard.
Chelsea also tried to make the two brothers into a pair of brothers, but the younger brother obviously lacked the firepower. Chelsea only gave up after one year. However, last season, Hazard handed over 10 goals and 10 goals in Borussia Mönchengladbach.
A double-double in assists is no ordinary person.
It was precisely because of the outstanding performance of Borussia goalkeeper Sommer that Aguero, who had countless opportunities, completed his hat trick in the 77th minute of the second half.
Sterling made a diagonal pass in the midfield, and Aguero succeeded in countering offside. After breaking into the penalty area, he learned the lesson of the previous failed attempts at pushing angles, and simply passed Sommer first, and then hit a safe open goal.
3:0, Aguero was happy. Guardiola quickly replaced him with Iheanacho and let him accept the cheers of the City Stadium.
The game was basically settled, and the score was quite satisfactory. Guardiola replaced Sterling with Sane in the 82nd minute. This was the German teenager's first appearance on behalf of Manchester City this season.
Next, Guardiola looked at Zhuo Yang and shook his eyebrows at him, with a very angry expression.
Chapter completed!
