Football: The king of midfield, Guardiola is crying with envy

Chapter 168

The English Football Association has made a ruling against Guardiola and Manchester City because Guardiola did not attend the post-match press conference.

On this issue, Manchester City Club fully supports Guardiola.

Isn't it just a fine? Fine!

Will the City Group be short of money?

Speaking of money, there are two things that have been making a lot of noise these days.

One is that UEFA has abolished the UEFA Financial Fair Play (FFP) Act and replaced it with the Financial Sustainability Regulation (FSR).

For this, UEFA is likely to take action against several clubs.

Manchester City is reviewed by UEFA every year, but in the end it is nothing, and then teams like Juventus are fined.

So much so that on social platforms, as long as UEFA breaks out relevant financial news, Juventus fans feel numb, uncomfortable and helpless.

In fact, it is not just Juventus, Inter Milan and AC Milan will also be fined.

At least in Serie A, the Zebras are not alone.

However, surprisingly, this time FSR did not choose to include teams such as Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain, which often buy and sell players, but Real Madrid and Barcelona.

This involves the second news.

Didn't Real Madrid President Florentino say that he would launch the European Super League plan a few years ago?

Then UEFA and Real Madrid and Barcelona went to court.

The judgment of the Madrid court came down these days. The content is very long. After refining it, it can be said in one sentence that Real Madrid's interests have been recognized.

This made Ceferin almost explode!

So this time FSR is actually going to Real Madrid and Barcelona!

Juventus and other teams are just hugging them.

However, Real Madrid's financial situation is relatively healthy, and UEFA can't find any trouble.

Barcelona will be a little more difficult, but Laporta can use leverage to get by.

Who will be miserable?

Isn't it obvious?

. . . . . . .

On the Manchester City side, Guardiola gave the players two days off to rest.

Chen Chen also had a rare opportunity to practice driving. It is estimated that in a few days, he can drive his female friends around to play!

Manchester City's next game is on the evening of November 3, which is Wednesday night against Bruges.

In the first round, Manchester City defeated Bruges 6-1 away.

From the odds of the event, there is no problem for Manchester City to win.

Now the only question is how many goals will Manchester City score?

After all, the Blue Moon just lost to Crystal Palace, and it was full of anger!

Time quickly came to 7 o'clock on Wednesday night.

It was still the Etihad Stadium.

Today, the Etihad was still full.

Now it has entered November, and the weather in Manchester has begun to get very cold.

The temperature of the Manchester City vs. Bruges game today was only 7 degrees, and the limited glove model Polo King that Chen Chen had always wanted to see was officially launched!

Besides, Mahrez also wore a hat during the pre-match warm-up!

Well, the whole set of equipment is on, ready to go!

Today Guardiola learned the lesson from the last game---if the center forward is weak, the team's offense will be greatly reduced.

In fact, in the last game, if Aguero or Kane was in the center position, could Crystal Palace still take away three points?

But then again, Foden can't be blamed.

After all, he has never played as a center forward, and has always been moving on the wing or left midfield.

And it is worth noting that Foden's height of 171 is not high. In the confrontation with the opponent's central defender, 171 will definitely be at a disadvantage.

This may also be one of the reasons why Guardiola chose to buy Haaland the following year. The Blue Moon Manchester City midfield and backcourt are still good, but the center position is a bit worse.

When the Norwegian "child-eating monster" joined Manchester City, the Blue Moon showed its strongest form!

Return to the game.

"Today Guardiola continued to arrange the 433 formation."

In the Migu studio, Zhan Jun has begun to introduce the starting lineups of both sides.

"Compared with the last round against Crystal Palace, Guardiola made several small adjustments."

"First, No. 9 Jesus stood in the center position, and on both sides of him were Grealish and Mahrez!"

"Then in the midfield, De Bruyne was on the bench, Gundogan and Rodri started, and Chen Chen played as a front midfielder."

"So the 433 formation should actually be a 4231 formation."

"In the back line, Cancelo and Kyle Walker were on the two sides, and Stones and Ruben Dias started."

"In the last game against Crystal Palace, Laporte's poor performance seemed to make him lose the trust of Guardiola?"

Zhang Lu continued,

"Of course, it is not ruled outLaporte will play in the Manchester derby. After all, Laporte's performance in the first ten rounds was pretty good. This time it's more like a regular rotation. "

Zhan Jun nodded and continued to introduce,

"The goalkeeper is Ederson."

"Let's look at the visiting team Bruges."

". . . . . . . ."

[No guest team name here]

"Okay, the starting lineups of both sides have been introduced to you!"

"Now let's follow the camera and enjoy the fourth round of Group A in the 2021/22 Champions League group stage!"

"The two sides are the Premier League team Manchester City and the Belgian team Bruges! ”

After the referee Laos blew the whistle, the Blue Moon started to press high.

It can be seen that Manchester City's desire and fighting spirit to win today are very strong. They want to beat Bruges hard!

In the 8th minute of the game, Manchester City's bombardment paid off.

Cancelo threw the ball forward to Chen Chen, and then Chen Chen took a few steps and kicked decisively.

A 45-degree cross quickly came to the back of the penalty area!

Mahrez, who was lying in ambush here, caught his opponent off guard!

The limited glove polo king appeared accurately at the landing point of the football, and then headed for the goal!

1-0!

The Blue Moon fans at the scene instantly celebrated!

At this moment, the frustration and anger of Manchester City fans were all released!

It was hard for Belgian goalkeeper Mignolet and Bruges, who could only passively endure the torture.

For Bruges , today they are here to win as little as possible.

But this is very difficult.

But we have to fight for it!

Otherwise, if they keep losing, they will have to go home.

Bruges is now 3 points ahead of Leipzig, but considering that Bruges will most likely lose the next game against Leipzig, the two teams will be on the same starting line at that time.

If they are on the same starting line, what needs to be compared is the goal difference.

So after losing a goal, Bruges coach Felipe on the sidelines quickly called on the players to pay attention to the defensive gaps and the coordination of the back waist and ribs.

But is this useful?

Today, Bruges' starting lineup is worth 76.5 million, while Manchester City's is nearly 700 million.

Although sometimes the starting lineup cannot help the team win the game, it can reflect a lot of things.

For example, Chen Chen, who is worth 110 million now, is playing with dragons and phoenixes in Bruges' backcourt!
