The Hammers, who are firmly in the middle of the standings, were beaten 6:0 by Manchester City at home, so Guardiola does not think that Swansea, which is fourth from the bottom after 23 rounds, will be a ruthless character.

What's more, it's still at the City Stadium.

The schedule is intensive. Guardiola calls it rotation. In fact, Zhuo Yang is really rotating. However, Aguero and Kompany continue to sit on the bench. Calling it rotation is purely deceiving oneself with open eyes. They both played in the last game

It’s been the turn.

However, Swansea, which drew with Liverpool 3:3 in the last round and defeated their archrival Southampton 2:1 in the last round, did not intend to let Manchester City pass so easily.

In October last year, after seven rounds of the Premier League, Swansea ranked third from the bottom. The head coach "Little Zhuge" Guidolin was fired and Bob Bradley, the former head coach of the United States and Egypt national teams, took over.

After Christmas, Bradley only had two wins in 11 games, and his winning rate was not as good as Guidolin. Swansea continued to fall to the bottom two. As a result, American coach Bradley had no choice but to pack up and leave.

Assistant coach Alan Curtis temporarily put out the fire and led the team to play two games, which at least allowed the team to survive the year.

On January 8 this year, on his 45th birthday, England coach Paul Clement signed a contract to become Swansea's fourth coach this season.

Clement is a rather strange person. He comes from an English football family. All the men in the family play football and are all professional players, except for him. Clement became a physical education teacher and taught middle school students all day long in school.

Duck, I just don’t know if his class will often be occupied by the main teacher.

During the period of playing ducks, Clement self-study for the A-level football coaching certificate. Then he felt that playing ducks with middle school students was not much fun, so he resigned and started to work in the circle of assistant coaches of Premier League clubs. After all, he was born in a football family, and his family still had connections.

of.

In 2007, he was spotted by Hiddink, who coached Chelsea, and became the team's temporary assistant coach, starting his first-team internship career.

In 2009, Ancelotti left Milan to take charge of Chelsea. Clement officially joined the coaching staff of the Blue Bridge. Since then, he has followed Ancelotti to Paris and Real Madrid. He has always been a member of Ancelotti's bloated coaching staff, as well as Zhuoyang.

acquaintance.

In the summer of 2015, An Pang was fired by Real Madrid. Clement felt that he was almost ready, so he flew to the British Championship to coach Derby County. Half a year later, Clement called An Pang in Munich: "Brother,

Are you still lacking someone?"

An Pang said: "Come on? It's worth your while."

So? Clement became Bayern’s assistant coach again. In fact, his coaching performance at Derby County was not bad, and he was ranked fifth in the English Championship when he left. It is said that it was because the coaching philosophy was inconsistent with the club’s tradition? Derby County’s senior management requested promotion from the youth training

Player, Clement asked the club to buy him someone to advance to the Super League.

Is there a vacancy in Swansea's coaching position? Clement said: "Brother? I still want to try."

An Pang: "Just give it a try, go ahead, screw you. When will you come back when you miss me? It's as good as yours."

Clement was very moved: "Old iron? 666."

.

"Zhuoyang, I'm really happy to see you appear in the Premier League."

"Paul, this is obviously my line, why did you steal it?"

"Hahaha~" Paul Clement smiled boldly? After laughing, he patted Zhuoyang hard: "Old man..."

Zhuo Yang immediately replied to him: "Shut up! Work hard and force me to play today if you can."

"A deal? 666~~~"

Is there any assistant coach who has been in Real Madrid who is not afraid of Zhuo Yang? He beats the assistant coach, his teammates, his opponents, the police and the security guards... Zhuo Yang left Real Madrid with more than just a triple crown? He also has a bad name for a lifetime.

In view of the sinkhole nature of Manchester City's defensive midfielder position, Guardiola has come up with new tricks to solve it? Today he let Toure continue to sit in the defensive midfielder, but let Feiniao and Debich, two people who can play as defensive midfielders, separate on the left and right sides.

Defender.

This is a new idea. After all, in Gua's tactics, a very important responsibility of the full-back is to fill in for the high-pressing midfielder during the transition between offense and defense, so the requirements for these two positions are very high.

Previously, Zabaleta, Kolarov, Sagna and Clichy all did very poorly in this regard, so Manchester City's defensive midfielder position was played in a frenzied manner.

The frontcourt trident consists of Jesus, Sane, and Sterling, a young and dark combination. Ding Ding is responsible for feeding the cake, and Silva wears the captain's armband today.

Manchester City started the game smoothly. In the 10th minute, Fernando threw a side ball from the frontcourt. Five Swansea swans in white could not prevent Silva from dribbling the ball to the corner between the bottom line and the small penalty area.

Except for Spanish center Llorente, there were at most 10 Swansea players in the penalty area at this moment, but they still could not prevent Silva from sending a small inverted triangle. Jesus fell to the ground in a pile of white clothes and scored with a tackle.

Scored his second goal in the Premier League, Manchester City 1:0 at home.

Zhuoyang and his teammates on the bench came out to applaud and congratulate him, and glanced at Clement: Come on, old man, don't be missed.

Facts have proved that Zhuoyang thought too much. Until the end of the half, the score was still 1:0. Manchester City's advantage on the scene was unambiguous.

In the first half, Swansea goalkeeper Fabianski performed well. After the start of the second half, it was the goalpost's turn to perform. The Birds' frame, Jesus' frame, and Toure's frame brought the onlookers to climax, but the score was always the same.

It's 1:0.

In the 68th minute, Guardiola felt that 1:0 was not a shame. Isn't Mourinho alive and well? He replaced Ding Ding with Zabaleta, and Feiniao returned to the midfielder.

In the 75th minute, Guardiola felt that 1:0 was still a bit unsafe. He had slapped Mourinho many times, and learned from past mistakes. He replaced Sterling with Aguero and instructed the team to launch a strong attack.

During this period, Clement secretly replaced Spanish winger Luciano Narzinger and Swedish full-back Martin Olsen, who had just been bought in the winter window.

The 29-year-old Olsen is of mixed Kenyan and Swedish descent. He previously played for Blackburn Rovers in the Premier League and Norwich City in the English Championship. He is also a Swedish international. The transfer fee this time is 4 million. But the person who makes Olsen most famous is his brother-in-law Norwich.

Witsky.

It is Dirk Nowitzki, the German power forward of the NBA Mavericks who will die if he doesn't fall back. Olsen's biological sister Jessica Olsen married him in 2012, and the couple got married in a low-key manner in Kenya.

The brother-in-law made an extraordinary move, rushing to the frontcourt to steal Silva, and the center back Alfie Mawson, who also rushed to the frontcourt, passed the ball across the top of the arc. This guy also just arrived in the winter window.

Icelandic star Sigurdsson received the ball and made a sudden shot. His low shot from outside the penalty area went straight into the blind corner. In the 81st minute, the score was 1:1.

Fortunately, there is still room for a substitution.
Chapter completed!
