Chapter 252 Passing by Liverpool
Zhuo Yang felt that his scumbag uncle Klopp had learned bad things, which was reflected in his psychological warfare before the game.
Uncle Zha said: "My colleagues in the competition department sent me a text message and told me that Guardiola was also in the stands. I respect Guardiola very much, but I have never been to a Manchester City game before, not this season.
Not last season either. He probably came here hoping to admire beautiful football."
On December 26, Manchester City defeated Hull City 3:0 in an away game to achieve their third consecutive victory. From this day on, the team will go through an intensive schedule of 4 games in 11 days. Of course, this is not a special case of Manchester City. Everyone is like this.
Looks like, so does Liverpool.
The day after returning from the away game, Guardiola ran to Liverpool's Anfield Stadium, 50 kilometers away, to conduct an on-site investigation, because Manchester City's next game was also a box-off match in 2016, and it was here against the Red Army.
The battle of Liverpool takes place on the last day of 2016, December 31st.
Before setting off, Gua Shuai actually wanted to take Zhuo Yang as his companion, but he was given a vicious look.
I've never seen anyone with such a cold eye. I've never seen anyone with such a cold eye like you. My whole family came to Manchester City to celebrate the New Year with me. I even wanted to stop all training and games. How could I have the free time to accompany you to blatantly act as a spy?
Have I earned that money?
roll!
Being scolded and looking like a fool, Guardiola had no choice but to go to Anfield alone. As a result, he did see a beautiful football, Liverpool beat Stoke City 4:1.
Judging from the scene alone, Uncle Zha's Liverpool indeed played better than Guardiola's Manchester City.
Extreme passing control is very delicate and pays more attention to charm, but it is easy to get tired in a short period of time. If there is no goal in the middle of the night, you may fall asleep. Under the training of Uncle Zha, Liverpool has always played
It was full of passion and there was basically no peeing in the audience.
After 18 rounds of the Premier League, Chelsea is first with 46 points, Liverpool is second with 43 points, Manchester City is third with 38 points, and Arsenal is of course fourth with 37 points.
There is no hope of winning the winter championship without Manchester City. If it is 5 points behind, there is no hope of even the top two, but it is the final game at the end of the year, and it is such a strong team like Liverpool, so Guardiola rarely goes to the scene to investigate.
I don’t know what insights he gained. Anyway, in the following days of training, Manchester City’s running tactics were all four defenders.
On the last day of 2016, the teams all took the bus to Anfield. The battle between Manchester City and Liverpool was the only direct contest between the top six in this round.
Aguero was finally released after serving his four-game ban. Stones, who suffered a bloody knee in the last game, was not seriously injured. Except for captain Kompany and Gundogan, who were seriously injured, Manchester City has received everything it deserves.
Everything that went up went up.
Uncle Zha also has his own sorrows. Coutinho and Matip are both absent due to ankle injuries. Liverpool's forward and defense are missing two generals.
.
This is Anfield!
Liverpool fans welcomed Zhuo Yang onto the pitch with mixed emotions, and now almost the whole world knows that he was only half a step away from becoming a Liverpool player just a few months ago.
Because of Uncle Zha and Detu, Zhuo Yang took the initiative to join Liverpool. This was originally a God-given opportunity, but in the end he and CEO Ian Ayre failed to reach an agreement on personal terms, especially Ian Ayre who wanted to take advantage of Zhuo Yang's
The opportunity to sign an exploitative contract gave Manchester City the opportunity to step in and cut the deal with a quick knife.
Uncle Zha was very disappointed, not with Zhuo Yang, but with Ian Ayre. He asserted at the club's senior meeting: Liverpool will definitely regret missing this opportunity and will definitely regret it.
Even though Zhuoyang has not fully recovered and Manchester City has not tasted much of his benefits on the court, Zhuoyang's star effect has been enough to increase the club's intangible value and also brought considerable tangible returns. So, Uncle Zha
The 'regret' mentioned soon came true.
Last month, after a management meeting, Ian Ayre announced his resignation as CEO due to serious mistakes in his work. He will stay in the post until February next year, and then leave.
Liverpool has also created the position of sporting director. There was no such thing before, and player signings were all signed by the CEO. Technical director Michael Edwards has been transferred to sporting director, and he will be fully involved in Liverpool's future transfer work.
Ian Ayre's successor has also been identified. Peter Moore, chief operating officer of the famous game company EA, will take over as CEO of Liverpool FC in February next year.
.
In addition to Klopp's emotional welcome to Zhuo Yang, Zhuo Yang also met an acquaintance at Anfield today. In fact, he should be called an old rival.
Liverpool's meritorious captain Steven Gerrard.
On May 25, 2015, in the last round of the 2014-15 season, the 38th round of the Premier League, Liverpool defeated Stoke City 1:6 in an away game, creating the biggest defeat in the history of the two teams. This was Gerrard's last game in Liverpool.
battle, that '1' was also the last goal Gerrard scored for Liverpool.
During his time at Liverpool, Gerrard scored a total of 186 goals, including 41 European goals. He is the player with the most European goals in Liverpool's history. He is also the captain with the longest tenure and the most appearances in the history of the Liverpool club.
Two months later, Gerrard joined the Los Angeles Galaxy of the American Major League.
On November 7 this year, the Los Angeles Galaxy lost 0:1 to the Colorado Rapids in the second round of the quarterfinals of the 2016 Major League Soccer playoffs. The total score was tied and the two teams entered a penalty shootout. Gerrard scored the first penalty, but
Subsequently, three of his teammates missed all free throws, including Dos Santos and Ashley Cole, while the opponent made all three free throws. The LA Galaxy was eliminated 1:1 on penalty kicks and 1:3.
The Los Angeles Galaxy's season came to an end, and Gerrard also completed his one-and-a-half-year contract with the team. After the game, the 36-year-old announced his retirement, ending his 20-year career.
With Gerrard's achievements, there is no obstacle to returning to Liverpool. He will officially serve as the club's youth training coach from tomorrow. At the same time, he will also start studying for the UEFA coaching certificate course in order to end "driving without a license" as soon as possible.
When they were players, Gerrard and Zhuo Yang were not friends. They were just tit-for-tat rivals on the court. There was also a small feud on the court. But after retiring, these things naturally disappeared, and they smiled and forgot their grudges.
It's okay to call me an old friend.
"Zhuoyang, come on. Welcome to Anfield."
"Thank you, Steven. Let's have a drink when you have time."
Both Uncle Zha and Gerald welcomed Zhuo Yang personally. As for Detu, he didn't pay much attention to his old brother, because the two of them always saw each other almost once a week, so there was really no need to pretend to be polite today.
We had seafood and barbecue together the day before yesterday. They were entertained by the butcher at Prestbury's butcher's house in the Golden Triangle of Cheshire. Zhuo's father and mother were entertained at home.
In fact, Detu's home is closer to Manchester City Stadium than to Anfield.
Chapter completed!
