Golden Greenery

　　 The Premier League schedule is very tight. The UEFA Champions League group match with Monchengladbach was delayed by a day due to heavy rain, so Manchester City’s next opponent Swansea followed one after another, less than 48 hours away.

　　 But this game is not the Premier League, but the League Cup.

　　 Unlike other mainstream leagues, England has two major cups, the FA Cup and the League Cup. The status of the FA Cup is very high, and it can even rank first in the world in this type of cup, because it is the oldest event in football history, founded in 1863.

　　 Compared with the League Cup, the influence is worse. The English Pro League launched the League Cup itself to compete with the English Football Association for this benefit. Including the promotion of the Premier League to the Premier League back then, the goal was actually the same, all for maximizing profits.

　　 The League Cup is eligible for the top four league teams, a total of 92 teams, because the top four ‘Super Champions League’ is a professional league, and England has a total of ten leagues.

　　 Except for the semi-finals and finals, all rounds of the League Cup are played against each other by drawing lots. The first round of the Champions League and the second round starts. The Premier League excludes teams that want to participate in the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Cup, and the others start from the second round.

　　 Manchester City, a team with European competition missions, will participate in the third round, which is the top 32. Before the semi-finals, all games will be a knockout match.

　　 Manchester City were in the top 32 of the League Cup in 2016-17. They were not lucky. They were drawn to the Premier League opponent Swansea and they were still away.

　　 Coincidentally, after the top 32, that is, 1/16, after another two days, Manchester City’s opponent in the sixth round of the Premier League is also Swansea, and it is also away. Manchester City will face Swansea in the Liberty Stadium.

　　 Swansea is a city in the southwest of Great Britain, located in Wales, but the local team Swansea City participates in the English League.

　　 The Welsh professional league system was only established in 1992, and Swansea joined the English league system as early as 1921. The Football Association of Wales also invited Swansea to return to Wales, but the club finally refused for its own interests.

　　 The same situation as Swansea, as well as the team from Cardiff, the capital of Wales. Cardiff City also participates in the English League. In the 2013-14 season, the Premier League also staged a Welsh derby between Swansea and Cardiff, but Cardiff was relegated at the end of the season.

The 17-year-old midfielder Brahim Diaz, the 19-year-old defender Angelinho, the 19-year-old midfielder Alex Garcia, and the 19-year-old defender Pablo Maffeo, four of them They are all Spaniards and Manchester City youth team players. Guardiola sent them on 1/16 of the League Cup with Swansea.

　　 There are also substitute goalkeepers, 36-year-old Caballero, and 19-year-old Tossin Adarabioyo. As a relatively least important event, the League Cup has always been an occasion to examine the echelon and exercise the bench.

As the dead substitute of the current team, Zhuo Yang is quite suitable to participate in the League Cup, but unfortunately, although he only played less than ten minutes in the UEFA Champions League group stage and contributed a magical assist, he was defeated by the Borussia Brazilian. Rafael Caetano kicked his left Achilles tendon.

　　 is not very painful, but still uncomfortable after the game. Manchester City and Zhuo Yang did not dare to be careless. After the inspection, they found that there was a slight injury.

　　 In fact, except for the Premier League, Zhuo Yang could also participate in the reserve league.

　　 Reserve League is as the name suggests, but starting this year, the Reserve League has become the Premier League U23 League, adding a promotion mechanism, and each game can allow four overage players to participate. Generally, first-team players who have recovered from an injury or need to adjust their status will be arranged to participate in this first.

　　 But Zhuo Yang participated in the U23 Premier League and was vetoed by Guardiola. Gua Shuai believes that Zhuo Yang is different from other injured players. He needs to be familiar with the atmosphere of top-level games instead of mixing in low-level games.

　　 Zhuo Yang is like a super master who has just recovered from a serious injury. He should watch Huashan Lunjian's level of martial arts, instead of participating in the preliminary selection of the martial art. Bai Baidamaged his reputation.

　　 Both the management team and Zhuo Yang felt that Guardiola made a lot of sense. As expected, his smart head doesn't grow hair.

　　.

　　 Great Britain is very small, and the farthest north and south ends are only 900 kilometers, which is equivalent to traveling from Beijing to Nanjing. England and Wales, which are shrunk in southern Great Britain, are even smaller, with only two hundred kilometers from Manchester to Swansea.

　　 So even though there will be two consecutive battles in two days, Manchester City still relies on highly developed aviation, kicking off the plane, and flying home after the kick.

　　 The first League Cup, a mixed lineup of Manchester City's substitute + echelon, won 2:1 at the Liberty Stadium. French veteran Clichy and Spanish teenager Garcia each scored a goal in the second half. Swansea Iceland striker Si Gudson pulled back a point in stoppage time.

　　 The score is not a problem, but the ‘Prince’ Ishinacho, whom Gua Shuai focused on, played like a headless fly for 80 minutes, but it was disappointing.

Guardiola is now very entangled with Ishinacho's use. This kid has nothing to say about his physical condition and personal skills. He is good and has a strong sense of smell in front of the door. The age of 20 also makes people feel good about him. Unlimited expectations.

　　 But the tactical awareness is too poor, and the off-the-ball position is basically dependent.

　　 If Guashuai's daily temperament is used, Ishinacho will basically be shot. His skills can't even enter the eyes of Guashuai, who has coached La Masia. But this kid can score, UU reading www. uukanshu.com This makes people want to stop.

　　 For example, in the Champions League match against Mönchen, it was obviously that he was running blindly, but running blindly made Zhuo Yang an extra assist, which is a bit unreasonable. Coupled with Ishinacho's magical performance in the Manchester Derby and the previous round against Bournemouth, Guardiola scratched his big bald head.

　　 Gua Shuai is not a metaphysical coach, but football sometimes has to believe in a bit of metaphysics. What if this guy is a lucky baby?

　　 So in the League Cup, Guardiola specifically let Ishinacho start, but as the saying goes, "Wushan is an ancient pursuit, if you don't care, I will rest." You are full of expectations to investigate him specifically, but he slaps you on the face.

　　 Ishinacho used his romantic performance to force Guardiola intolerable, gnashing his teeth and replacing him in the 80th minute.

Two days later, Guardiola still couldn’t figure it out, so even though Nolito was suspended due to a red card in the last round, Guardiola would rather play with Swansea in the sixth round of the Premier League and put Tintin de Bruyne on the premises. Guero partnered, and he didn't want to send Ishinacho.

　　 Aguero has been suspended for three games, including the League Cup, so he has been ‘released’.

　　 And Zhuo Yang's left Achilles tendon was also greatly relieved, and there was almost no discomfort, so he sat on the bench as usual.

　　 The Sun said that as long as Zhuo Yang sits on the sidelines and does not need to play, he can increase the value of the Premier League by 5%, thus allowing the Premier League to surpass La Liga and become the first league.
