Vol 4 Chapter 984: Negative Manchester City 2-game losing streak

At the time of the private meeting of Galeries Lafayette Florentino in the fishing port, Manchester City lost to Crystal Palace 2:3 at home. Zhuo Yang was embarrassed to call Guardiola for fear of being called a joke.
When Zhongnan Mountain was enjoying the family relationship, Manchester City lost to Leicester City 1:2 away. It's even worse for Zhuo Yang to call back and console the irritable old melon, which is like rubbing salt on his wound.
Manchester City with Zhuo Yang absent is absolutely impossible to become an underdog. Losing two consecutive games to non-main opponents is a bit of a fantasy.
Things have to start over.
After the World Club Cup was celebrated, Guardiola, who was eager to clean up the team's "old-fashioned" evil, not only did not have a holiday on Christmas Day, but instead carried out relatively high-intensity training.
There is no Christmas holiday in the Premier League, and Christmas training and even games are the norm. But if the schedule is coincidental and conditions permit, the head coach is still willing to give the team a holiday on Christmas Day. Not to mention the players, the coaching staff and staff also want to spend the holidays with their families, right?
Manchester City ended the Club World Cup final on the 23rd and returned to Manchester on the 24th. The match against Crystal Palace was at home on the 27th, so the Christmas day on the 25th was completely conditional to take a day off, not to mention that this is a group of men who have just won a heavyweight championship.
The tyrant Guardiola is inseparable, no one is late and no one is absent, but the emotion in his heart is certain. After two days of strong fighting spirit, we ushered in the league with Crystal Palace.
In addition, since the beginning of the new season, the model of "gnawing on the old" has gradually become ingrained. It is impossible to deliberately fight against the old melon, but the negative attitude towards the game is widespread.
In fact, the game was not unattractive. On the contrary, all the data were normal. Manchester City even had a ball possession rate of 73%. But it's the kind of 'qi' that is indescribable, no.
In the 27th minute, Walker made a long pass, Sane made a transfer, Delph made a cross, and Gundogan made a header to give Manchester City a 1-0 lead, which was normal.
Crystal Palace's 28-year-old winger Andros Townsend has never been a person, and the Premier League is full of things like him. But on this day at the end of 2018, he played the best performance of his career.
In the 33rd minute, Townsend suddenly shifted to the left after dribbling the ball on the right, and the Scottish midfielder MacArthur received the ball straight. 1:1.
Two minutes later, Zaha won a free kick in the frontcourt for Crystal Palace. After Schlupp took out and was cleared by Laporte, Townsend kept up with a direct left-footed volley and blasted the unsolvable world wave, tsk tsk, 2:1, The visiting team is ahead.
In the opening 5 minutes of the second half, Bisaka made a cross from the right, and Townsend wedged his head on the goal post. The rebound was still at his feet, and then all kinds of Zhuo Yang possessed until he was overturned by Walker's legs.
Without Zhuo Yang's penalty BUG, ​​Ederson was a fool, and Serbian midfielder Milivojevic rewritten the score to 3:1.
Have you ever seen a 2-4-4 formation? See you today. Old Guards replaced Ottmendy and Delph in a row, and replaced Aguero and De Boudinne who returned from injury. But it was not until the 87th minute that Ding Ding pulled back a city with a long shot, and 3:2 was the final score.
There are so many men in the Premier League, Townsend was named the best on the spot after the game. England was surrounded by wolves, and no one thought that Crystal Palace would become the team that broke Manchester City's undefeated gold. How poetic and distant the coach Huo Taigong is.
Pep Guardiola was left with only the humiliation in front of him. After the game, he immediately announced that the entire team had entered a closed training camp.
Manchester City soldiers succumbed to the arrogance of Guardiola and did not dare to be angry or speak out. The state of continuous battles was sluggish, the inertia of old age, and negative emotions. Various factors were superimposed. The team went to face Leicester City on the 30th.
Before the Club World Cup, Manchester City's last game was a 3-1 victory over Leicester City at the King Power Stadium. Zhuo Yang scored two shots and one pass. It was a League Cup.
Less than two weeks before and after, everything has changed. This time the best of the game is Portuguese full-back Ricardo Pereira. This buddy almost exploded Manchester City's left flank and reversed it with a burst shot in the 82nd minute. score. 1:2, Manchester City lost two straight.
Who would have thought that the mighty Manchester City would just slip out? Everything came very suddenly, and it came very silky.
At the end of the year, this is called a half-way. After 20 rounds, Uncle Slag's Liverpool remained unbeaten with 15 wins and 5 draws with 50 points. Manchester City handed over the half-time championship with 15 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses with 48 points.
Everyone was immersed in the climax of Manchester City and Zhuo Yang's Mad Hatter. Only at this time did they realize that Liverpool had been chasing so silently, and they overtook the gutter without paying attention. No wonder Guardiola has been tight. nerve.
Not only that, Tottenham, who had 15 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses in 20 games with 47 points, also took the opportunity to grab Manchester City's to see how this happened.
Other teams are still far away. Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United are all hovering at 30+~40 points, and further down are Wolves, Leicester City, Everton and other teams with 20+ points. .
Now it seems that although Laogua did not expect to go to Maicheng here in Crystal Palace and Leicester City, but he did have foresight to be wary of 'biting the old and lying flat'.
Manchester City is very strong, but it has never been a team that can fight tough battles in adversity. The players have the temperament of aristocratic soldiers. Well-equipped and with excellent personal qualities, he can push the enemy to the ground and rub them at will in a tailwind fight, but when he encounters a tough team, I don't care about you.
Guardiola's pass-and-control football belongs to exquisite football. Delicate people never struggle in the wind and rain, so Lao Gua is not a tough coach in adversity. He is used to relying on absolute strength and technical advantages to slowly tune his opponents.
Whether Barcelona, ​​Bayern or Manchester City, the teams coached by Lao Gua always have such an invisible weakness, and sometimes they lose inexplicably.
There is never a shortage of tough guys on the football field, but personal temperament and the overall temperament of the team cannot be equated. Lao Gua is a person with a strong aura. Unless a player’s aura is greater than his, can he affect the team’s adversity on the field. Ability, such as Zhuo Yang.
.
"Brother, don't you call me to comfort me?" Zhuo Yang was embarrassed, but Lao Gua didn't hold back and called. "What if the league champion is yellow?"
"What do you mean? If the Asian Cup is not played, I'll go back now?"
"Hey—" Lao Gua sighed: "When you come back with the Asian Championship trophy, our championship is out of play. Brother UU Reading www.uukanshu.com, am I quite useless?"
"Be confident and remove the yes or no." If Zhuo Yang really wants to abandon the Asian Cup hotline diligent king, Laogua is really useless.
"Zhuo Yang, are you worried about the next game?"
The first game at the start of the new year is Manchester City vs. Liverpool at home. If they lose again, the gap will widen to 5 points. With Uncle Slag's urgency this season, Manchester City can hardly catch up.
"What's the matter, I beg Klopp to let us go?"
"Oh fuck, who needs him to let go?" Lao Gua begged for mercy, and was successfully aroused by Zhuo Yang. "Sir Zhuo Yang, brother put the words here today. If I lose this game again, I will resign immediately. After you come back, hang out with your brother Tazi."
"Quack quack~~" Zhuo Yang smiled happily.
That being said, if Manchester City really loses three straight, Guardiola will not be able to quit if he wants to, and Zhuo Yang will not agree in the first place.
After putting down the phone and thinking for a while, Zhuo Yang called Debicki and Kompany respectively to explain it. After thinking about it, he called A Kun's mobile phone and gave the same advice.
