Hexagonal monster crushing European football

12 month 9 day.

Manchester City ushered in the final round of the Champions League group stage at home.

From a competitive perspective, this game is worthless.

Because Manchester City is determined to qualify first in the group, Monchengladbach is determined to be eliminated fourth in the group.

This game has no impact on the Champions League group stage rankings of both sides.

Another showdown between Sevilla and Juventus will determine who can continue to compete in the Champions League and who will go to the Europa League.

So in this game, Borussia sent many substitutes, and the same was true for Manchester City.

David Silva and Kompany started after recovering from injuries.

Guardiola did not let Zhao Yi start because of his Champions League scoring record.

Can only be on standby.

As Chinese fans say, the only person who can stop Zhao Yi is a fool except himself.

The two sides launched a big confrontation, and the scene was very exciting.

But Chinese fans scolded Guardiola for 70 minutes.

"Big fool!"

"I stayed up late watching football to watch you, Manchester City?"

"You idiot, change someone quickly!!"

It wasn't until Zhao Yi came on as a substitute at the 70th minute and exercised to maintain his condition that the curses disappeared.

However, Zhao Yi did not score a goal or assist in the limited time.

Because Guardiola asked him to replace Fernando, Zhao Yi appeared in the midfielder position.

Responsible for dribbling and organization.

"You idiot, you're just playing like this!"

"Yes, yes, let Zhao Yi play as a central defender in the knockout rounds of the Champions League!"

"Okay, okay, the league will let Zhao Yi replace Joe Hart as the goalkeeper!"

"You idiot, you will resign the coach next year and let Zhao Yi be the head coach!"

"You idiot, you are so good!!"

The scolding was quiet at first, but suddenly it broke out again.

The final score did not change and remained at the previous 4:2.

Manchester City's sixth consecutive victory in the Champions League group stage!

After the game, Guardiola was very proud of his arrangement.

He feels that Zhao Yi has very good offensive ability in the frontcourt, but his vision is still far behind.

Standing in the defensive midfielder position, he can more clearly see the movement of the team's players and the defensive position of the opponent's players.

This is a very big growth for him, and maybe in the next games, he will continue to appear in this position.

As for the reporter's question about whether Zhao Yi should be allowed to play goalkeeper because the goalkeeper is positioned further back and can see the situation on the field more clearly.

Guardiola felt that the reporter was not very smart and did not answer seriously. He just joked that anything was possible.

In the weekend league match, Manchester City challenged Stoke City away from home.

Stoke City, nicknamed the Sky City, has always adhered to its history and has a very single offensive method, which is crosses from the wing and headers.

They even developed grenade tactics.

It is a frontcourt throw-in. The thrower throws the ball directly into the penalty area with great force, using the high center to compete for the top, creating chaos and waiting for opportunities to score.

In this game, Stoke City had few chances due to the players' personal problems.

With 74% of the ball possession, Manchester City easily controlled the entire game.

2: 0.

The score was not disparate. Manchester City scored two goals in the first half, with Aguero and Zhao Yi scoring goals respectively.

In the second half, Manchester City started passing the ball in order to save energy and prevent injuries.

Manchester City fans are not too offended by this situation because there is still a game in midweek.

Guardiola must ensure the condition and health of the players.

Only Sulei's brother was left yelling.

Only the world where Brother Sulei was injured appeared.

In mid-week, Manchester City faced Hull City at home in the League Cup, and Zhao Yi was not included in the squad.

Firstly, because Guardiola had no intention of letting him play in this game, and secondly because Zhao Yi was going to Italy to receive the award.

Take home the Golden Boy Award.

When there is a competition conflict, someone else can receive this award for Zhao Yi. It is more important for players to participate in club competitions.

But Guardiola feels that if Zhao Yi is included in the squad and it is a home game, Zhao Yi may need to go up and play for a while to gain some understanding, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the fans.

Just in time, the Golden Boy Awards ceremony is here, so don't make it to the big list.

Go get the award.

Zhao Yi, accompanied by Peilan, attended the award ceremony.

Not only did he win the Golden Boy Award, but he also won another award, the Best Newcomer Award voted by the fans.

The original influence of this award in China is basically zero.

It was never broadcast.

Only major award ceremonies such as the Ballon d'Or, World Footballer, and Globe Awards will be broadcast in China.

In fact, even these influential awards have extremely low ratings in China.

But this time, New Star Sports started building momentum in advance. Every previous broadcast would include advertisements to tell fans the time of the Golden Boy Awards ceremony.

Xinxing Sports also buys traffic and advertisements on various portal websites.

Treat this Golden Boy Awards ceremony like a Champions League final.

And when the award ceremony is broadcast, red envelopes will rain down, attracting a large number of fans.

This made some smart-minded fans see something was wrong. They always felt that Xinxing Sports was run by Zhao Yi, otherwise how could they mobilize so many people.

When Zhao Yi held the two trophies and said his acceptance speech, the Chinese fans still felt like they were dreaming.

It's all so unreal.

Many fans had the urge to burst into tears.

“This award means a lot to me.

It is a huge honor and pride to be recognized by almost all professionals.

Thank you to all my teammates and fans, my teammates at Wolverhampton, my teammates at Manchester City, my two beloved coaches, Garnier and Guardiola.

And my agent, my parents, and all the Chinese fans on the other side.

I will share this trophy with everyone who supports me.

Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today.

I have always been proud of being Chinese.

That was true when I was little.

My friends and I will find any free time to enjoy the fun that football brings us.

Our dream is to make football a career and bring joy and pride to more people.

My friends have left the green field due to studies, life or other reasons.

Now, I am the only one left to carry forward the dreams of all of us.

I will move forward bravely with everyone's hope.

In my life, I may have done some wrong things and made some wrong choices.

But I don’t regret it, because it was the intertwining of right and wrong choices that made me stand here at this time.

I hope that everyone can keep their eyes on the future and move forward bravely towards the future. "
