Chapter 2841

The premier league schedule is very tight, with the Champions League group match against munching Gladbach delayed for a day due to heavy rain, so Manchester City's next opponent Swansea followed, less than 48 hours away.

But it's not the Premier League, it's the Carling Cup.

England, unlike other major leagues, has two major cups, the FA Cup and the Carling Cup. The status of the FA Cup is very high. It can even rank first in the world in this type of cup, because it is one of the oldest football competitions, which was founded in 1863.

Compared with the League Cup, the influence is worse. The professional league of England launched the league cup itself to compete with the Football Association of England for the interests in this respect. Including the promotion of the British crown to the Premier League, the purpose is also the same, all for the maximization of interests.

The League Cup is qualified for the top four league teams, a total of 92, because the top four "super champion a and B" are professional leagues, while England has a total of 10 leagues.

In addition to the semi-finals and finals, all rounds of the League Cup are played by drawing lots. The first round starts from the first round. The Premier League will participate in the second round except for the teams to participate in the Champions League and UEFA Cup.

Manchester City, a team with a European mission, will start from the third round, which is the top 32. Until the semi-final, all the matches are a knockout.

Manchester City in the 2016-17 season League Cup last 32, luck is not very good, draw draw the Premier League rival Swansea, but also away.

Coincidentally, after the last 32, that is, 116, two days later, city's opponents in the sixth round of the Premier League are also Swansea, which is also away. City will play Swansea in a row at the free court.

Swansea is a city in the southwest of Great Britain, in Wales, but when earth team Swansea played in the English league.

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

In the same situation with Swansea, there are teams in Cardiff, the capital of Wales, and Cardiff City also plays in the English league. In 2013-14 season, the Premier League also staged Swansea and Cardiff's Welsh Derby, but Cardiff was relegated at the end of the season.

The 17-year-old midfield Brahim Diaz, 19-year-old defender angelinho, 19-year-old midfield Alex Garcia, 19-year-old defender Pablo mafio, all four of them are Spaniards and Manchester City youth team players. Guardiola played them in the 116 Carling Cup match against Swansea.

There are also substitute goalkeepers, 36 year old Caballero and 19-year-old tosin adalibioyo. As the relatively least important event, the Carling Cup has always been an occasion to inspect the echelons and train the substitutes.

Zhuoyang is the dead substitute of the team at present. It is quite appropriate for Zhuoyang to take part in the League Cup. Unfortunately, although he only played for less than 10 minutes in the Champions League group match and contributed a magic assist, he was kicked to the left Achilles tendon by the Brazilian of menxing, Rafael caetano.

It's not very painful, but it's still uncomfortable after the game. Manchester City and Zhuo Yang do not dare to be careless, after inspection found that there is a slight injury, not can not compete, but it is best not to.

In fact, apart from the Premier League, Zhuo Yang could have joined the Reserve League.

As the name suggests, the Reserve League has become the U23 League of the Premier League since this year, with the promotion and demotion mechanism added. Four over age players can be allowed to participate in each game. In general, the first-team players who are recovering from injury or need to adjust their state will be arranged to participate in this first.

But Zhuoyang joined the U23 Premier League and was rejected by Guardiola. Guadalglish believes that Zhuoyang is different from other injured players. He needs to be familiar with the atmosphere of top-level games, rather than mixing in low-level games.

Zhuo Yang is just like a top expert who has just recovered from serious injury. He should observe the martial arts competition of Huashan sword, rather than participate in the preliminary selection test of the sect. Bai Baizhe has lost his reputation.

Both the management and Zhuo Yang feel that Guardiola's words are very reasonable. As expected, his smart head is not hairy.

Great Britain is very small, and the farthest distance between the north and the south is only 900 km, which is equivalent to that from Beijing to Nanjing. In the south of Great Britain, England and Welsh are smaller. It is only 200 kilometers from Manchester to Swansea.

So even though there will be two games in a row in two days, Manchester City still relies on highly developed aviation, kicks off the plane and leaves for home.

In the first league cup, Manchester City's mixed lineup of substitutes and echelons won 2-1 at the free court, with French veteran Christian Clichy and Spanish youngster Garcia scoring one goal in the second half. Swansea Iceland striker sigurdsen pulled back a point in stoppage time.

The score was not a problem, but the "crown prince" isinacho, who was mainly observed by Gua Shuai, played for 80 minutes like a headless fly, which was a great disappointment.

Guardiola is now very tangled with the use of isinacho. The boy's physical condition and personal skills are not to be said. He is enviable, and has a strong sense of smell in front of the door. People have unlimited expectations for him at the age of 20.But is the tactical consciousness is too bad, no ball running position basically depends on the Meng.

If a move Gua Shuai's daily temperament, isinacho is basically shot, his skill can't enter the eyes of Gua Shuai, who once coached ramasia. But the boy can score goals, which is hard to stop.

For example, in the Champions League match against menxing, it was obvious that he was running blindly, but he was running blindly, which made Zhuo Yang have one more assist, which is a bit unreasonable. Combined with the fantastic performances of isinacho in the Manchester derby and the last round against Bournemouth, Guardiola scratched his bald head.

Gua Shuai is not a metaphysical coach, but football sometimes has to believe a little bit of Xuan, in case this goods is a lucky baby?

Therefore, in the Carling Cup, Guardiola specially let isinacho start, but as the saying goes, "Wushan belongs to the ancient pursuit, if you don't mind, I'll rest." you're full of expectations and investigate him, but he slaps you in the face.

With his romantic performance, isinacho forced Guardiola to bear it and replaced him in the 80th minute.

Two days later, Guardiola still can't think of it, so despite the fact that nolito was suspended with a red card in the last round, Guardiola would rather partner Aguero with Swansea and Tintin de Brauner in the sixth round of the Premier League, rather than send in isinacho.

Aguero has been suspended for three games, including the Carling Cup, so he has been released from prison.

And Zhuo Yang's left foot Achilles tendon is also greatly relieved, almost no discomfort, he sat in the bench according to the Convention.

The sun said that as long as Zhuoyang sits on the sidelines and doesn't need to play, he can increase the value of the Premier League by 5%, thus making the Premier League surpass La Liga as the first league.
