Chapter 197 3 Playing House without Entering
The 34-year-old Everton captain Phil Jagielka felt that he was so unlucky today. Facing the loach-like Silva and Aguero, he was confused by two foul points. This season is Jagielka's contract year, and these two penalties made him feel old.
Jagielka was born in Manchester, but he is of Polish descent. His parents are pure Polish immigrants. Jagielka was instilled in authentic Polish culture by her father since she was a child. Only Chopin was played on the gramophone, and only Polish was allowed to be spoken at home.
Eleven years ago, Jagielka, who was famous for playing for Sheffield United in the English Championship, attracted the attention of the Polish national team and strongly invited him to play for his motherland. Unexpectedly, Jagielka not only refused decisively, but also claimed to the media that he would never take his wife and children to Poland.
Jagielka said: I am a pure Englishman. Even if the England team never recruits me, I will not join Poland.
Perhaps it was his loyalty that moved the Football Association, and he was recruited by the England team for the 2012 and 2014 tournaments. Especially for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, Jagielka partnered with Cahill and was England's main central defender.
At the World Cup in Brazil, England finished last in the group with 2 losses and a draw, failing to qualify.
In the penalty kick before the end of the first half, it was Stekelenberg who saved Everton and Jagielka. The scene reappeared in the 70th minute, and Jagielka looked at Stekelenberg expectantly. Expect him to reject Aguero just like he rejected De Bruyne.
Sergio Aguero has been even more depressed than Jagielka recently. He returned to the starting lineup of the national team, but played like two pieces of shit in two games and missed a penalty kick that could have scored points.
Messi did not play in the game, and Aguero's poor performance made him the scapegoat for Argentina's three-game losing streak. Media public opinion criticized him as a dog. In fact, even if Messi is on the court, no one will blame him if Argentina does not play well, and others will still take the blame.
Aguero is not jealous of the special treatment given to his friend Messi, but he still feels it is unfair.
What makes Akun feel most depressed is that his small complaints to the media in the national team only offended Guardiola.
Guashuai is a strict coach who controls the world, the ground, and the atmosphere in the middle. He is accustomed to controlling the team and the locker room to the extreme. In order to strictly enforce team discipline, Guardiola first announced several regulations when he came to Manchester City this year.
No weird hairstyles allowed! Just comb your hair and spray it with hairspray. No one in Manchester would want to put animal shapes or landscape paintings on their hair. You can lick your handsome melons no matter how colorful they are.
No pizza or juice allowed in the locker room. Except for sports energy bars and water, no other food or drink can be brought into the locker room.
The new official has three things to do when he takes office, and no one will get in trouble with Guardiola, and most other teams have similar regulations. Guardiola is just a little more strict, and the players just accept it.
But the day after being tied with the Celtics 3:3, Guardiola made a new move, which made many players turn their backs and pout.
——Guardiola cut off the Wi-Fi in the locker room at the training base.
The locker room of Manchester City's training center is on the third underground floor. There is no mobile phone signal there. Once the Wifi is disconnected, the players will be isolated from the world when they enter it.
There are many social experts in the Manchester City team, especially Aguero, who are keen on posting information on social media. They are used to picking up their mobile phones and sending tweets during breaks. Forget it now.
Inside the Etihad Stadium, there is also no 3G service for mobile phones, which means that once the Wifi is cut off, Manchester City players can only focus on training.
During the Argentina team's World Cup preliminaries, Aguero talked about Guardiola's Wifi ban in an interview: "The dressing room and massage area are completely disconnected from the outside world. I don't know who he has caught by the basin. Or using his phone while getting a massage, but he did turn off the internet."
At the end of the international break, Aguero was called over by Guardiola as soon as he returned to Manchester City.
"Do you have any problem with my decision?"
Aguero was so panicked that he quickly explained to Guardiola that the media had taken the quote out of context. He was just introducing the new atmosphere of Manchester City in the new season to the Argentinian media, and he swore that he was absolutely not dissatisfied.
As a best friend of Messi and an authentic mate tea brother, Boss Mei has already said hello to Aguero: Guardiola cannot be messed with, he is a cruel and petty person.
Aguero is also 28 years old, and some things no longer need to be taught by others. Guardiola has a "notorious" reputation, and his team management is actually much more extreme than Mourinho.
Except for Zhuo Yang, no one has special privileges in the Manchester City dressing room, including Aguero. The relationship between Zhuoyang and Guardiola is more like a collaborator than a traditional relationship between a head coach and a player.
Aguero knows this well, and he doesn't dare to be jealous of Zhuoyang, just like he won't be jealous of Messi in the Argentine national team.
Zhuoyang has been keeping a low profile since he landed in Manchester, but everyone knows that he has a unique identity and his significance to Manchester City is not limited to the stadium.
Aguero knew very well that everyone on the team, including Guardiola, was waiting for the day when Zhuo Yang would give orders on the court. Although no one said anything, they were all looking forward to it.
From putting the football on the white spot to setting up the running distance, so much flashed through Aguero's mind in just two or three seconds.
——Zhuo Yang has never missed a penalty kick. I won’t miss it again today, right?
That was Aguero's last thought before he shot out.
The same quick push to the right, the same half-high ball aimed at the upper right corner, Aguero and Ding Ding were also blocked by Stekelenberg who jumped sideways in the first half.
The only difference is that Stekelenberg used both hands to block Tintin, while Aguero used one hand.
There was a sigh in the city stadium, and Zhuo Yang also sighed secretly.
This is the third penalty Aguero has missed in a row and the fourth penalty he has missed for Manchester City this season. It's only been two months since the season started, and this data is quite disgraceful.
Guardiola was so anxious on the sidelines that he replaced German teenager Sane with Spanish winger Nolito a minute later. Nolito was the last attacker on the bench.
After entering the field, Nolito ran along the wing towards the frontcourt. After entering the 40-meter area, he cut diagonally into the Everton penalty area. At this time, Silva came in from a cross from the other wing. .
Jagielka only focused on struggling with Aguero, but completely ignored Nolito behind him. Jagielka and Aguero both fell down, and Nolito comfortably shook his head at the line of the small penalty area.
The football passed Stekelenberg's hasty fingertips and hit the crossbar hard.
Two penalty kicks were missed and one must-goal goal. Manchester City is not Dayu. He failed to score after three attempts and could not move the world. He could only lament that his luck was far away from home.
We can only accept the ending of 0:1 defeat at home.
The ball possession rate was 72.7%, the shot ratio was 11, and Diola's gorgeous change of pass took all the advantages on the scene. However, Koeman defeated him 1:0, and Manchester City only got two consecutive league defeats.
"Niang Xipi, this is football." Ferguson was fighting for Guardiola.
Krauchen said: "Football is very unreasonable, and it is not unusual to win but not score. But at this rate, Manchester City will be in trouble when we go to Barcelona in five days."
"Football doesn't happen overnight." Zhuoyang said: "The season is still early."
"Please, gentlemen. The freshest Turin white truffles and Chinese caviar have just been flown in. I specifically asked the left bank to keep them for you two."
