Golden Greenery

Looking at the data, we can see that Zhuo Yang is not in good shape today. He only took three shots after 110 minutes of the game. If it weren't for his face, others would suspect it was fake.

In the 113th minute, Zhuo Yang shot his fourth shot. After receiving a cross from Jing Duoan, the top of the arc suddenly shot a cold arrow, but the quality was not flattering.

Although it was abrupt and the angle could be regarded as Diao, Kante and Azpilicueta did not exert enough force to prevent interference. The football bounced on the turf towards the goal, but the speed of the ball was not enough.

Manchester City had a total of 10 shots and 3 shots on target before, but they did not pose a substantial threat to Kepa, who was in full shape, but instead achieved his heroic performance.

This time was no exception. Kepa, who was highly focused, sprinted to the left for two steps and then threw a standard sideways shot. He firmly pressed the ball between his palms, and then took it into his arms to ensure zero risk.

Zhuo Yang pouted, unable to tell whether he was sorry or annoyed. The sighs from spectators around the world were also inaudible, because the trend of the game was very clear, and the appearance of penalty kicks was more reliable than Newton's fourth law, and everyone was waiting.

Today is not a goal day, even if this guy is called Zhuo Yang.

The League Cup implements a 4+1 substitution system where four players can be exchanged in extra time. At this point in the game, Manchester City has replaced Teacher Jing, Debicki, Sane and Delph one after another, while Chelsea have used Yiyi. Guain, Chick and Odoi.

Guardiola and Sarri also have no extra monkey drama. The final is like this. Even if the championship is won by a penalty shootout, who can say which trophy is noble and which is despicable?

But at this moment, an accident happened, and Kepa, who was lying in front of the door, grinned and rubbed his ankles.

Zhuo Yang's shot is a ghost, especially the many bounces of the football on the turf, which make it difficult for the goalkeeper to deal with it. Kepa made a successful save, but the last jump of the football made a temporary fine-tuning of the ankle force in his second step when he kicked to the left.

So, bad luck twisted my ankle.

The goalkeeper hangs up and the game must be suspended. The referee Jonathan Moss asked Kepa eagerly: "Are you okay? If you can't, make a substitution, hurry up."

Kepa, whose expression was distorted, did not forget to roll his eyes to Moss even though he was busy, which made him suddenly shudder, recalling the same kind of blank eyes many years ago.

Jonathan Moss, 49, was an accomplished professional when he was young. He was born in the Sunderland youth training, and only played a few games at the top level of the Premier League Millwall.

At the age of 18, in a National League (fifth tier) additional knockout match, Moss was sent off by the referee on duty after a fierce fight. He was very dissatisfied, thinking that this was just a normal physical confrontation, and the opponent also made moves, why red card? Why punish only oneself?

Moss couldn't quarrel with the arrogant referee, so he said angrily: "You don't know how to brag about the game at all. The devil knows how the referee card came."

The referee whose name he had forgotten rolled his eyes, and then continued to say arrogantly, "Dissatisfied? You can do it."

A pretty standard 'you do what you do' story. Just this sentence changed Moss' football future. As soon as he got angry, he obtained the referee registration qualification in the coming year, and worked as a part-time referee before he retired.

Moss' eyes softened as he recalled the past, and he truly cared about Kepa like a father.

"Do you want it? The ankle can't be careless, check it carefully, I can let the game and so on."

Kepa didn't have time to pay attention to his magnetic voice, he tried to step on it, the pain in his ankle was like an awl pierced into the old sauerkraut, and he sat back on the ground again.

After so many years of professional experience, Kepa subconsciously raised his hand and waved to the sidelines, signaling a substitution.

The head coach Sarri, who has been closely watching the situation here, saw the clear indication and immediately summoned former Manchester City player and Argentina goalkeeper Willy Caballero.

Sarri only used 3 of the 4+1 places. In fact, he consciously prepared this +1 for Caballero, but he was not sure.

Before the game, Sarri thought of the lifeless penalty shootout, and remembered Caballero's Manchester City experience, so he chatted with him.

Kabbah is also good at throwing penalties, and he patted his chest to assure Sarri: I dare not say anything else, including Zhuo Yang, I know the penalty characteristics of the old Manchester City players at that time.

This gave the confused Sarri a bit of a backbone, and there was a bias in his heart. Although the goalkeeper's plan was not adjusted before the game, Kepa's injury at the moment turned the life-saving straw in Sarri's heart into a pillar.

After the World Cup, Caballero, who had a beard, took the lead in an emergency, and Chelsea showed No. 13 on the sidelines and No. 1 on the side.

Referee Moss breathed a sigh of relief, he was really worried about the root cause of the child's illness. "Okay, go down and put it on ice quickly. You did a great job today. Whoever, come and help."

But in this short period of time, Kepa's ankle didn't hurt much. It was originally a hard injury, and it came and went quickly, and the awl was buried in the sauerkraut heap.

Kepa, who had a dream in his heart, was anxious. Before he could get up, he sat on the ground and waved to Sarri and Kabbah, shouting: "If you don't change it, you won't change it. Change the halberd and change the hair."

Moss: "…"

Sarri was directly in the coaching bench, and the old Kaba stood on the sideline at a loss.

Although it is said that according to the rules, as long as the substitution has not been completed, interruption or readjustment is allowed, but after so many years of implementation, only the head coach has the right to decide. It was the first time that a player like Kepa regretted taking off his pants.

It stands to reason that for the smooth progress of the game, referee Moss should immediately ask Sarri and order Kepa to leave the field, but who made the white eye just hit the softness in his heart.

"Chelsea No. 1, are you sure you can still play?"

"Of course. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com" Kepa said, "What nonsense are you talking about, are you me or I am me?"

Moss didn't take it seriously, he seemed to see the self who was not afraid of power thirty years ago.

"OK."

Then Moss just treated Caballero and Sarri as the air, anyway, from the rules, Mizuki couldn't pick out his reasoning.

Zhuo Yang used Kante as a rest crutch, and watched all this with a smile. He has played football for so many years, and he has never seen a coach who is unwilling to go on with a substitution.

From Uncle Slag to An Fatty to Lao Guamu Bird, they are the masters of the locker room rattles. These people would rather not be a coach than allow their players to challenge authority. Even if he is as arrogant as Zhuo Yang, he and Mu Niao were in trouble back then.

In fact, the 0:7 game two weeks ago had swept away Sarri's managerial authority. If before then, Kepa would never have the guts to fight Sarri.

Zhuo Yangxin said: "Fuck, this young man...
