Chapter 493 West Brom in the League Cup
It is now said in the football world that Manchester City's striker combination of Zhuoyang-Aguero-Jesus is the most powerful trident today. Its comprehensive strength exceeds that of Real Madrid BBC and Barcelona, as well as Paris's Nemka and
Bayern's old man's tofu.
It also surpasses the two disbanded combinations of Barcelona, Mei Scarnet and msn, and is on par with the once most brilliant Zhuo Yang-Messi-Villa combination of Zhumadian (zmd).
In fact, it is biased to say so, because Manchester City is not a trident now, but a quintet.
Zhuoyang, Aguero, Jesus, Sane, Sterling, everyone takes turns. Whoever is in good condition will go up to kill, and whoever needs a rest will be on standby. The five of them can be matched at will.
This is the biggest advantage of the Manchester City Trident compared to those above.
The most important factor in such an elated event is of course Zhuo Yang's resurrection, but other reasons cannot be ignored.
Aguero lets go of his worries; Jesus has stable output after recovering from injury; Sterling is happy no matter how he plays; Sane has passed the Premier League adaptation period.
Sane's performance last season cannot be said to be bad, but it was quite ups and downs, and he was very unstable. After all, he has never traveled far before he was 20 years old, and the Premier League is by no means a good place for newcomers. He himself is introverted, so it's okay.
I also like to think of a home, so it’s understandable that it takes a long time to adapt.
In the new season, the depression between Sane's eyebrows has obviously dissipated a lot, and he is more relaxed on the court. He no longer cautiously limits himself to the left wing where he is best, and begins to boldly integrate into the unscrupulous cross-changing of the trident.
Completely different from the stubborn left winger last season.
Except that she still likes to act aloof from time to time, there is nothing wrong with the aloof bitch Leroy Sane.
Four days after Manchester City's 7-0 away victory over Watford in the fifth round of the Premier League, Sane started the Carabao Cup match against West Brom on 1/16.
With enough food at home, Guardiola is not panicking. Guardiola now has enough soldiers at his disposal, and can face cross-operations on various fronts very leisurely. Only Zhuo Yang, Sterling, and Stones are in Lao Gua’s starting lineup today.
The starter from four days ago has not moved.
Manchester City is quite lucky. Among the top 32 of the League Cup, there are so many low-level teams, but they are drawn to West Brom, who is also in the Premier League. It is also a kind of fate.
West Brom spent 43 million pounds on signings in the summer, which is not a small amount for a non-rich team aiming to be mid-table. 15 million pounds were spent on signings from Leipzig, and 12 million pounds were brought in from Southampton.
Former striker Jay Rodriguez.
The reason for this is that before 2013, Gerald was a strong man who could compete with Aguero, Suarez and Dzeko in the Premier League. However, a serious knee injury in 2014 turned all prosperity into chaos.
Cloud smoke.
West Brom's third-ranked acquisition was the purchase of Chinese forward Zhang Yuning from Eredivisie Vitesse for 7.9 million.
Zhang Yuning, who has just turned 20 this year, has been selected for the national team many times, but the reason for his selection is that expectations are obviously greater than his own strength. After all, apart from Zhuo Yang and San Zhang Yiyan, he is currently the only player left to play in the first-tier European leagues.
Chinese player with ball.
Vitesse refers to a good team, which ranked fifth in the Eredivisie last season. Although it was 20 to 30 points behind the big three of Fejawen. But starting from the second half of the last game, Zhang Yuning lost his position in Vitesse.
Although his position was not stable at all before. He needs to change his place.
Frankly speaking, £7.9 million is a bit too high for Zhang Yuning now, even in this summer when player prices are exaggerated. However, his status as a Chinese player and the background of West Brom being acquired by the Chinese owner Lai Guochuan make Witt
The club has done a good job.
The problem is that Zhang Yuning's conditions do not meet the requirements of the Premier League's labor certificate, and West Brom are not willing to waste the precious "special talent clause" opportunity for him, because there is a high probability that he will not pass the assessment of the six-person jury.
The only option is to rent first, which is not difficult. Zhang Yuning contacted Zhuo Yang to see if the captain could help send a message that he wanted to go to Madiburg on loan.
After Zhuoyang communicated with him, he replied: It's okay to go to Madiburg, but it's just that the B team plays in the German third league.
Zhang Yuning didn't want to "waste" going to such a low place. He was eager to prove himself in the first-tier league as soon as possible. So, he followed West Brom's arrangement and was loaned to Werder Bremen.
The 20-year-old Scar Ribery worked hard to level up at the German Bundesliga club Madiburg, while the 20-year-old Zhang Yuning felt that the German Bundesliga Madiburg was not worthy of him.
The new season of the Bundesliga is in full swing, and six rounds have been played so far. Zhang Yuning has not even made the squad, and has only made two appearances with the Werder Bremen youth team in the fifth-level regional league.
Zhuoyang repeatedly warned everyone that the most important thing is to be able to play in the game. No matter what level, playing more games and playing more main players is the football philosophy of sharpening the knife and cutting wood. Some people listened to these words, and some
People don't care at all.
.
Stones made a long pass from the backcourt. Zhuoyang received the ball from the right and cut in and then passed the ball diagonally into the penalty area. He took a stab from the B seat and was blocked by West Brom goalkeeper Foster.
Sane, who had a very good sense of outflanking position, stood still and waited for the rebound to hit the target. A Taekwondo-style side kick pushed the football into the goal. In just 3 minutes, Manchester City scored 1:0 at the Hawthorn Stadium.
leading.
In addition to Zhuo Yang, Debich and Bravo, the other eight players in Manchester City's starting lineup are all born in the 1990s. Even among the seven substitutes on the bench, there are six born in the 1990s and one born in the 100s.
Deng.
Compared with Manchester City's rippling youth, West Brom's post-70s center back Macaulay is simply a walking coffin board.
Although Macaulay is old, he is a standard British defender, brave and passionate, and good at improving his own morale and the morale of his teammates.
In the 19th minute, Danilo made a pass and Gundogan fired in the penalty area. Macaulay did not hesitate to throw himself out to block the hole of the gun. The football hit his chest and made a "Jiang~~~" sound.
Macaulay was neither afraid of pain nor afraid of death. After turning over, he showed a majestic appearance, lunged and raised his arms, and shouted with his "o" mouth: "Hoo——!"
Echoing in my heart: I am the first fierce man in the world! A fierce man... a fierce man... a man...
'call--'
Macaulay felt something fly past his ear. He didn't give up the shape, just jumped on the spot and turned around to look, and he didn't forget to say "Whoa——!"
Zhuoyang's follow-up shot missed Macaulay's head and hit the net. To be honest, Zhuoyang did it on purpose.
You have so much to do playing football, it would be great if you have the leisure time to carry cement at the dock.
2:0, the game seems to have no suspense.
In the 60th minute of the second half, the score was still 2:0, but Manchester City had an absolute advantage and West Brom did not find any opportunities. So Guardiola replaced Zhuoyang with 18-year-old Spanish midfielder Diaz.
