Chapter 185
Guardiola had just finished the interview when Benítez arrived at the pre-match press conference.
Benítez looked relaxed.
"In the last game against Tottenham, we performed very well. Although the team only got one point, we were the team closest to three points from the field."
"About Tottenham's pursuit of Richarlison? He is not for sale."
"Delph is a player from Manchester City. He is a Manchester City legend, but he will only fight for Everton's reputation now!"
"Chen Chen? I admire him very much. He will be an excellent superstar! But now, he is not."
"We have found a way to limit Chen Chen. We will win the game at Etihad!"
As soon as this was said, fans and passers-by on the social platform all laughed.
Tottenham is now the only stray dog on the roadside in the big6. They are all far away from the European war zone. Benítez still brags about it?
And it is worth noting that from September 1st to now, Everton has won two of the nine games, one against Burnley and one against Norwich.
Good guy, if he can't beat the team ahead of him, he can beat the team behind him. . .
So no matter from which angle, the Toffees have no chance of competing with the Blue Moon Manchester City.
Do you think Everton is going to play a bad plot like "Don't bully the poor young man"?
How is it possible!
Facing Tottenham, Everton had twelve shots and two on target.
But facing Manchester City, the Toffees only had four shots and one on target!
How miserable!
At the beginning of the game, Manchester City gave the Toffees a blow.
Chen Chen made a lob pass, Rodri successfully countered the offside, and then shot hard!
1-0!
Afterwards, Dalian's old player Long Dong scored a counterattack goal, but because Gray, who made the assist, was in an obvious offside position, the ball was called invalid.
This was also Everton's only shot on target in this game.
Longdong was brought to Dalian by Benítez, but he left Dalian Yifang Club before Benítez.
Longdong was loaned to CSKA Moscow by Dalian Yifang Football Club, and when the loan period was over, Benítez, who had already taken over Everton, called his favorite disciple.
Only Dalian Yifang was injured in the middle.
This is also a common problem of Chinese Super League teams in the era of gold and silver.
They bought him at a high price, but sold him at a low price soon after.
Longdong spent 18.3 million euros on Dalian transfer fees, played for a year and a half in Moscow, and finally left without a visa.
In comparison, Carrasco mentioned earlier is quite worth it.
The Belgian striker transferred from Atletico Madrid for 30 million and finally transferred back to Atletico Madrid for 27 million. This in and out did not lose much.
Of course, Wanda's contribution in the transfer has not been taken into account.
In the first half stoppage time, B Silva assisted Sterling to score, 2-0!
The second half started.
In the 56th minute, Chen Chen's long shot was saved, and Rodri followed up with a successful shot!
Rodri scored twice!
3-0!
After that, Guardiola waved his hand and quickly made substitutions.
Mahrez, Ake and James McCarty, a young player from the youth team, came on the field.
Mahrez replaced Palmer, Ake replaced Laporte who received a yellow card, and McCarty replaced Chen Chen.
The 19-year-old McCarty was a product of Manchester City's youth training, but was previously loaned to Sheffield United for training.
After returning from the summer window, he returned to the U19 and performed well, so Guardiola promoted him this time.
However, McCarty's performance today was really average. I don't know if it was because it was his first time to participate in the Premier League. The young English midfielder felt like he couldn't let go.
Compared with Chen Chen, who won the European Cup at the age of 18, McCarty still has a lot to learn.
Of course, the reason why geniuses are geniuses is that they cannot be replicated!
If McCarty could have the god-level performance of Chen Chen, he would have been promoted by Guardiola long ago!
It is said that Foden and Palmer are like rookies in front of Chen Chen, but you have to know that these two are the existence of gods and gods in the youth training team!
The young Foden helped the Three Lions U17 win the U17 World Cup in 2017!
Palmer even led Manchester City to win the U21 Premier League championship last year!
McCarty really can't compare.
After Rodri frequently helped to defend the left for 20 minutes, De Bruyne came on as a substitute, replacing Bernardo Silva.
But in the actual position arrangement, De Bruyne played on the left, Rodri went to the right, and Stones played as a defensive midfielder.
As for McCarty?
Guardiola asked him to play as a front midfielder.
Anyway, he was not expected to organize the offense, just don't mess up the defense behind.
This is a 343 diamond position, focusing on offense, using the intensity of offense to cover up the defensive loopholes.
In the last moments of the game, McCarty had a few good shots, but it was too late, the game was almost over.
Finally, under the whistle of the referee Stuart, the game ended, Manchester City cleanly overturned Everton 3-0 at home!
McCarty was in a very low mood, and he also knew that his performance was very poor.
There was nothing he could do about it, he still needed to practice.
If nothing unexpected happens, McCarty will be loaned out in the winter window, and the most potential next home will be Sheffield United.
As the game ended with Manchester City firmly taking three points, the Blue Moon fans turned their attention to the upcoming Mamba battle!
Blue Moon Manchester City vs. Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1!
This strong duel in the fifth round of Group A directly determined who will qualify as the first in the group!
Now in the standings, Manchester City has 3 wins and 1 draw with 9 points, and Paris has 2 wins and 2 draws with 8 points.
If there is a draw, the first and second place will be determined in the last round.
If there is a winner, the first and second place will be determined directly in the fifth round.
As for Bruges and Leipzig behind?
Neither team has the possibility of getting a place in the Champions League.
Ruben Dias, who was on the bench in the last game, returned to the starting lineup, which shows that in Guardiola's mind, Ruben Dias ranks first in the central defender position, and he is more important than Stones and Laporte.
In addition, Chen Chen, who missed the Mamba battle in the first round, also appeared in the starting list, which is inevitable.
After all, Chen Chen is now Manchester City's killer. In the games where Chen Chen plays, Manchester City's winning rate is very close to 100%!
Except for the games against Southampton and Crystal Palace.
When being interviewed by the Blue Moon team reporter, Chen Chen said frankly,
"The winner of the game? That must be Manchester City."
"Messi, Neymar, Mbappe! Yes, they are one of the most powerful strikers on the planet!"
"But we are not bad either. Although Torres is missing, the team's offensive ability has not declined much. Our number of goals is the highest in the entire Premier League."
"In the last game, I missed the game due to injury and the team lost to Paris. This time I will start and I will face them with the most full mental state!"
"I am very confident about this. We will take three points at Etihad and qualify as the first in the group!"
