Chapter 262

December 9.

Manchester City ushered in the last round of the Champions League group stage at home.

From a competitive perspective, this game is worthless.

Because Manchester City is sure to advance as the first in the group, and Borussia Mönchengladbach is sure to be eliminated as the fourth in the group.

This game has no impact on the ranking of both teams in the Champions League group stage.

Another match between Sevilla and Juventus will determine who can continue to fight in the Champions League and who will go to the Europa League.

So in this game, Borussia Mönchengladbach sent out a lot of substitutes, and so did Manchester City.

David Silva and Kompany started after recovering from injuries.

Guardiola did not let Zhao Yi start because of his Champions League goal record.

He can only wait on the bench.

As the Chinese fans said, the only one who can stop Zhao Yi is himself, or a big fool.

The two sides launched a big offensive, and the scene was very exciting.

But the Chinese fans scolded Guardiola for 70 minutes.

"Big fool!"

"I stayed up late to watch the game, just to watch you Manchester City?"

"Big fool, change players quickly!!"

Until Zhao Yi came on as a substitute in the 70th minute and exercised to keep in shape, the scolding disappeared.

However, Zhao Yi did not score or assist in the limited time.

Because Guardiola asked him to replace Fernando, Zhao Yi appeared in the position of defensive midfielder.

Responsible for advancing and organizing with the ball.

"Big fool, you play like this!"

"Yes, yes, let Zhao Yi play as a central defender in the Champions League knockout stage!"

"Okay, okay, let Zhao Yi replace Joe Hart as the goalkeeper in the league!"

"Big fool, next year you quit the coach and let Zhao Yi be the head coach!"

"Big fool, you are really good!!"

The scolding was originally quiet, but suddenly broke out again.

The final score did not change, and it remained the previous 4:2.

Manchester City won six consecutive games in the Champions League group stage!

After the game, Guardiola was very proud of his arrangement.

He thinks Zhao Yi has very good offensive ability in the frontcourt, but his vision is still far behind.

Standing in the position of defensive midfielder, he can see the running position of the team players and the defensive position of the opposing players more clearly.

This is a great growth for him, and perhaps he will continue to appear in this position in the next game.

As for the question raised by the reporter, the goalkeeper is further back and can see the situation on the field more clearly, whether Zhao Yi should be allowed to play as the goalkeeper.

Guardiola thinks that the reporter is not very smart, and did not answer seriously, but just joked that everything is possible.

In the weekend league, Manchester City will challenge Stoke City away.

Stoke City, nicknamed the Sky City, has always adhered to history, and its offensive means are extremely simple, that is, passing from the wing and heading the ball.

They even developed a grenade tactic.

It is a throw-in in the frontcourt, and the thrower throws the ball directly into the penalty area with great force, using the center forward to compete for the top, creating chaos, and waiting for an opportunity to score.

In this game, Stoke City had no chances throughout the game due to the personal level of the players.

Manchester City easily controlled the entire field with 74% ball possession.

2:0.

The score was not too far apart. Manchester City scored two goals in the first half, with Aguero and Zhao Yi scoring respectively.

In the second half, Manchester City started to pass the ball in order to save energy and prevent injuries.

Manchester City fans were not too disgusted with this situation because there were still games in the middle of the week.

Guardiola must ensure the players' condition and health.

Only Su Lei's brother was left cursing.

Only the world where Su Lei's brother was injured appeared.

In the middle of the week, Manchester City played against Hull City at home in the League Cup, and Zhao Yi was not included in the big list.

First, because of this game, Guardiola did not intend to let him play, and second, because Zhao Yi was going to Italy to receive the award.

Get back the Golden Boy Award.

Originally, when there was a conflict in the game, this award could be received by others for Zhao Yi, and it was more important for the players to participate in the club competition.

But Guardiola felt that if Zhao Yi was included in the squad, and it was a home game, he might need Zhao Yi to play for a while, otherwise it would be difficult to explain to the fans.

It just so happened that the Golden Boy Award ceremony was coming, so you don't have to be included in the squad.

Go and receive the award.

Zhao Yi attended the award ceremony accompanied by Perrin.

Not only did he win the Golden Boy Award, but he also won another award, the Best Newcomer Award voted by fans.

This award had basically zero influence in China.

It has never been broadcast.

Only some major award ceremonies such as the Golden Ball Award, the World Footballer of the Year, and the Globe Award will be broadcast in China.

In fact, even these influential awards have extremely low ratings in China.

But this time, Xinxing Sports started to build momentum in advance, and every previous broadcast would be advertised,Tell fans the time of the Golden Boy Award ceremony.

Xinxing Sports also bought traffic and advertised on various portals.

Treated the Golden Boy Award ceremony as the Champions League final.

And during the broadcast of the award ceremony, there would be red envelopes raining down, attracting a large number of fans.

This made some smart fans see something wrong, and they always felt that Xinxing Sports was opened by Zhao Yi, otherwise why would there be such a big fuss.

When Zhao Yi held the two trophies and gave his acceptance speech, it still made Chinese fans feel like they were in a dream.

Everything was so unreal.

Many fans had the urge to burst into tears.

"This award means a lot to me.

It is a great honor and pride to be recognized by almost all professionals.

Thanks to all my teammates and fans, my teammates at Wolverhampton, my teammates at Manchester City, my two beloved coaches, Gariol and Guardiola.

And my agent, my parents, and all the Chinese fans on the other side.

I will share this trophy with everyone who supports me.

Without you, I can't achieve what I have today.

I have always been proud of being Chinese.

It has been like this since I was very young.

My friends and I will find any free time to enjoy Enjoy the fun that football brings us.
