Golden Greenery

The fifth and fifth chapters of the text stop the winning streak and score goals

Facing the Wolves from the British Championship, everyone believes that Manchester City will achieve a record of 12 consecutive victories in team history.

In the 2014-15 season, Pellegrini's Manchester City scored 11 consecutive victories in all competitions, and also set a record for Manchester City's 137-year winning streak since the establishment of the team. Three years later, Guardiola's Manchester City inadvertently tied the game in 2017-18.

On the fourth day after the UEFA Champions League group stage victory over Naples 4:1, Manchester City beat the'Red Wine' Burnley 3:0 at home in the 9th round of the Premier League. In the first half, Zhuo Yang scored the first goal in the penalty area. In the second half, Debuich made a header. Sane low shot each one.

The reason why it is said to be taken lightly, because Burnley shot 4 times in the game and 0 shots on goal. Manchester City was guarded to doubt his life. Prior to this, Burnley remained unbeaten in the Premier League away game this season, but their undefeated golden body was vulnerable to Manchester City.

From the 2:2 draw with Everton in the second round of the Premier League in August, from the 3:1 victory over Bournemouth in the third round, to Burnley 3:0, Manchester City tied the team history with 11 consecutive victories. , Including 7 Premier League games, 3 Champions League games, and a League Cup.

Among the eleven dead souls under the sword, Liverpool, Chelsea, Fort Madi, Naples and other hard stubbles are included, and the winning streak is full of gold. In these 11 games, Manchester City demonstrated extremely high offensive accuracy, scoring 47 goals and losing 7 goals, and Gua's passing control gradually improved.

After eleven knives, Manchester City ranked first in the Champions League and the Premier League, and they are also 5 points ahead of second place. The second place in the Premier League is currently Manchester United. The season is still very long, 5 points is not a ditch, but looking at Zhuo Yang, who has scored 15 goals in 10 games in these 11 games, the crowds are very frightened. At the beginning of the season, Manchester City has shown the title.

After the start of the season, excluding the two suspended games, Zhuo Yang did not go empty in all official matches at Manchester City. He scored 9 consecutive rounds in the Premier League, and 13 goals were at the top of the scorer list.

Recently, a cartoon circulated in the media, wearing a Blue Moon jersey No. 18, waving the sickle of death, knocking on the door one by one. There were eleven knocked doors behind him, and he was standing in front of the Wolves' door.

The Wolves is actually just a nickname, the official name is Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club, but obviously the official name is not as loud as the nickname.

The Wolves are also considered to be the old lifts of English football. The last time they were relegated from the Premier League was in 2012, and the following year they were relegated to League One again, commonly known as back-to-back relegation. Fortunately a year later, they worked hard and returned to the Championship.

Last summer, Wolves was wholly acquired by a consortium from China, but last season's results were not satisfactory, ranking 15th among all 24 English Championship teams, only 7 points higher than the relegation zone.

The old fans of the "Seven Sisters of Serie A" era should be very familiar with the name Walter Zenga. This master and Baresi are big men of the same era. They have guarded Inter Milan's goal for 12 seasons. He was also the starting goalkeeper of Italy in the summer of 1990.

If you play well, you will teach. After retiring, he became a famous wandering coach, coaching all over North America, Eastern Europe and the Middle East, as well as the old nest Apennines. Last season, he was invited by the Wolves to give pointers. It is said that Wolves boss Guo Guangchang is an old Serie A fan.

However, at this time last year, Zeng Jia, who coached for only 87 days and led the team in 17 games, was fired. Since then, Paul Lambert, who has coached Norwich, Villa and Blackburn, has replaced Zenga.

The final result of last season was mediocre. Lambert also left after the season. Now the head coach of the Wolves is the Portuguese Nuno Santo.

There are many teams in the British Championship, and the league schedule is more intensive than the Premier League. Basically, they are double matches in a week. When standing in front of Manchester City in the League Cup, Wolves ranked second with 9 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses in the first 13 rounds of the new season. The first is Cardiff City.

Nuno Santo also belongs to the standard Portuguese coach who is a bad player when playing football, but he still manages to make do with it. Focusing on defense is their type of label. Last season, coach Santo led Porto to the top 16 of the Champions League and won the Portuguese Super League runner-up.

Coach Santo loves domestic products. Now there are five Portuguese players in the Wolves team, but none of them are famous. After all, the British crown. In terms of popularity, Senegalese midfielder Ndiaye may be a bit barely a bit, after all, he has been in Ligue 1, La Liga and the Premier League. Last season, he played for Hull City.

In the face of the murderous Premier League classmate Manchester City, Santo was a bit harder to fight back. For this reason, he used the team’s two main attackers, the 21-year-old Portuguese winger Diogo Jota and the 23-year-old Brazilian striker Rio. Bonatini is all placed on the bench.

Guardiola is even better. Manchester City, which has been fighting for a long time, has carried out a revolutionary rotation in this game, and many main players including Zhuo Yang are watching.

Aguero, Kompany and Mendy continued to recover from their injuries. Bravo, Mangala, Adarabioyo, Danilo, Debuich, Gundogan, Zinchenko, Sane, Foden, Jesus, b seats.

It's hard to talk about underestimating the second place in the British crown, but Guardiola has indeed been a little bit ambition lately. Before the game, the reporter asked him how he felt about his 11-game winning streak, and Lao Gu said that he was very happy and enjoyed it.

"It seems that I haven't lost for a long time, and I have almost forgotten that feeling. Frankly speaking, sometimes I want to lose a game so that the players know that happy days are hard to come by. Ahahaha..."

Did not lose, but also did not win.

He scored 20 shots in 90 minutes, but the score was always 0:0. Lao Gua even replaced Tintin in the 80th minute, but he failed to break the goal behind Will Norris, who also played for the English B Cambridge United team last season.

The 1/8 of the League Cup still uses a single-game decision-making system. After a 90-minute tie, overtime will be played in place.

Half an hour of overtime was fleeting, and Guardiola replaced Stones and Sterling with two big mules during the period, but the Wolves team was still in the dark.

The shameless moment finally came. In the 116th minute, Zhuo Yang came on the stage to replace Sane.

In the new season, the League Cup implements a 3+1 substitution system, which means that if you play overtime, each team can change four people, and Zhuo Yang is the fourth today.

The big killer came up so late, obviously not for him to score a goal at the buzzer, and clearly pointed the sword in the penalty kick. Coach Nuno Santo and the Wolves have no temper. This is a dimensionality reduction blow.

With a shot ratio of 25:7, the Wolves didn't fight back in 120 minutes, and the same was true for the penalty shootout.

The penalty shootout of the League Cup is also full of whimsical ideas. It is not the fans who are most familiar with you and me. Abababab rounds, but adopts the abbaabbaabba method. The first round a is followed by b, and the second round b is followed by a. , And then a first and b later.

The Wolves Brazilian striker Bonatini, who came off the bench in overtime, took the lead. Bravo, who had already flashed a penalty kick, lost his hand under the command of Zhuo Yang. Bonatini played. The blind spot is very successful. Wolf 1:0.

Then Zhuo Yang played to tie the score 1:1.

Next is Dimblaunet, 2:1;

Then Bravo rectified his name. At any rate, he was also the owner of May's boss who was killed by penalty kicks in two consecutive America's Cup finals. He accurately blocked Ndiaye, 2:1;

In the third round, 24-year-old defender Connor Courdy was also rejected by Zhuo Yang and Bravo, 2:1;

Debich's face sank like water, and a heavy shot made the score 3:1;

In the fourth round, it was Manchester City's turn to take the first penalty. Sane's push shot was only a little short of being pounced by Will Norris, who was brave in 120 minutes of the game, but this was a little bit close at hand, 4:1.

At this point, the subsequent preparations were meaningless. Manchester City, who made four of four free throws, ended the game and made it to the quarterfinals of the League Cup in a disgraceful manner.

But such a promotion made it difficult for the media: Is it a victory at all? Manchester City's 12-game winning streak without a record in team history?

The official definition: Manchester City’s 0:0 (4:1) Wolves’ match should be a tie according to tradition. Victory usually means winning within 90 minutes.

Of course, the official said that this is just a guideline. If the Manchester City club themselves believe that this game is a victory, it is not impossible, you are happy.

In the end, the Manchester City club agreed to set a winning streak at 11 games, tying the previous record, and expressed confidence to continue to challenge in the near future.

Manchester City stopped winning streak, and Zhuo Yang also stopped scoring consecutive goals in all competitions.
