He picked up a penalty kick as soon as he stepped on the court. Zhuoyang happily increased the number of league goals to 2 and regained the lead 2:1.
In fact, Aguero could just ignore the sidelines and take the penalty kick himself. How can a forward not want to score more goals? He deliberately waited for Zhuoyang to come up, which represents the current psychological attitude of the Manchester City team and shows that Zhuoyang has the support of the entire team, including former team bosses like Aguero.
Zhuoyang wants to compete for the top scorer in the Premier League, so the whole team consciously and willingly helps him. Of course, Leicester City has no obligation to cooperate with him. On the contrary, they also want to take a bite of Manchester City.
Algerian winger Mahrez really wants to perform, so that Manchester City's desire to buy him in the summer will be more enthusiastic.
The First World War was called the meat grinding ground of Europe. The great powers were not fighting at all, but competing to kill more people. Among them, France lost 1.75 million soldiers. It can be said that every family wears mourning and every family has a funeral. At that time, the total population of France was not very large, and almost all the young male labor force was wiped out.
In order to live and continue the peaceful years, France had to start a large-scale immigration from its African colonies. Algeria, located in North Africa, was the first to get the moon. The ancestors of Zidane, Scar, Benzema, Nasri and others left their homeland in Algeria and came to France in those decades.
Today, in major French cities such as Marseille and Lyon, residents are of North African descent, with Algerian ancestry accounting for the vast majority.
There are also the two biggest players in the Algerian national team, Mahrez and Fegouly. Their ancestors also migrated to France during that period, but they chose different national teams when they became adults. In fact, more than half of the players on the Algerian team that participated in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil were French Algerians born in France.
During Leicester City's magical championship run last season, Riyad Mahrez formed the team's golden triangle in the frontcourt with Kante and Vardy, and he was also the team's three most valuable players.
Manchester City is interested in Mahrez because of his versatility at the winger position. However, Manchester City currently has a rich five-man team in the attacking end. The acquisition of Mahrez is a matter of having the more the better, but they can still live without it. , so the asking price did not exceed 50 million. Leicester City's psychological bottom line is 80 million, which is a big gap.
Mahrez is eager to come to Manchester City to make big money, but he has no choice but to remind Manchester City in a face-to-face confrontation: I am very strong, let’s add more.
In the 84th minute, Mahrez suddenly cut in from the left wing of Manchester City, got rid of Sane, and then accelerated again in the ribs, tempting Kolarov to move sideways. Kolarov fell into the trap. As soon as Kolarov turned around, Mahrez quickly spiked the ball inwards and dribbled the ball from his side towards the penalty area.
Kolarov awkwardly stretched his legs to steal the ball, but kicked Mahrez down. The Madley referee blew the whistle and pointed at the penalty kick.
This penalty needs to be discussed, because the kicking position was obviously on the penalty area line, but Mahrez changed direction too sharply. After tripping, he flew far away, and his head was almost in the small penalty area.
Mahrez's outstanding skills are on the one hand. This change of direction is very similar to Sane's point just now, but the location is different. But if it were replaced by Sane, the referee would probably only award a free kick outside the penalty area.
English football, like the sun that has set on the British Empire, has a strong and sensitive sense of pride stemming from a past glory that is now lost. It cannot be said that they are deliberately xenophobic, but when referees in the Premier League judge teams coached by non-British coaches, they will subconsciously be more demanding, and for teams with British coaches, they will be taken care of invisibly.
Both Wenger and Mourinho have complained that it is difficult for their teams to win penalties unless there is someone dead in the penalty area. Ferguson never complained about this, Sir Alex would only chuckle.
Fortunately, Zhuo Yang was on the court, so penalty kicks were no problem. And Caballero himself is a goalkeeper who is good at taking penalty kicks.
He might be looking forward to Manchester City being awarded a penalty kick more than Leicester City.
Mahrez felt uneasy, but because his face was dark and others couldn't tell from his expression, he didn't want to take the penalty kick at all. If Vardy comes to take credit now, Mahrez will give it up without hesitation. Why did that damn Japanese get replaced? He is so stupid that he probably likes to carry thunder.
Before Zhuoyang came up, Shinji Okazaki had been replaced by another Algerian forward Slimani.
I hope those few breakthroughs just now will make Guardiola think I am awesome. Mahrez struggled to walk up to the white spot, set up the football and retreated away from the running distance.
He has no special powers, he just pursues blind spots as much as possible. After four steps of running up, Zhuo Yang clearly pointed the left side to Caballero.
Mahrez was really unlucky. He was originally worried that he would not be able to hit a high-quality corner, but his right foot slipped before he exerted force. After ejaculating, he sat down on the ground, his tailbone hurting.
Caballero was like a spring swallow, happily swooping to the left. He enjoyed this moment of high-spirited relaxation.
The football crashed into the net from the upper right corner.
Caballero fell to the left, like a swift with broken wings.
Zhuo Yang's hair was shocked: This guy... is too awesome, isn't he?
Mahrez was stunned for a moment while sitting on the ground, and then he immediately reacted. Regardless of the pain in his tail bone, he jumped up and cheered in celebration, which was very exaggerated.
Zhuo Yang couldn't see clearly because of the angle behind his back, but Caballero could see it clearly. He quickly reacted from his confusion and stretched out his scissor fingers at the referee.
"Two! Two! He's two."
Second touch.
Mahrez indeed wanted to shoot into the lower left corner with his left foot, but due to his right leg slipping, the moment the ball left his foot, it hit the heel of his right foot first, causing it to refract and fly into the upper right corner.
According to the rules, when taking a penalty kick, after the kicker kicks it, he cannot touch the football again before others, including the opponent's goalkeeper, touch the football, that is, he cannot touch the football twice in a row.
You can kick to someone else and let others take the second shot. Messi, Scar, and Neymar have done this, but you can't make two consecutive shots.
This is a very rare penalty kick violation on the football field. Mahrez failed to confuse the wise and powerful referee of Madley, and was happy because of his "two".
The frightened Blue Moon fans burst into mocking laughter, and Guardiola also acted like a gloating villain on the sidelines with his hands on fire and his shoulders shrugged. Mahrez's vanity was so sad, today was not his day, so out of frustration, he really did it again.
In the 88th minute, Mahrez encountered a double press from Zhuo Yang and Aguero in the midfield, and had to turn around and pass back to the defense. There was no problem with the accuracy, but he was aiming at Ben Chilwell's movement, but the ball was a little slower. Jesus, who was shot out of the diagonal shot, got the ball first and passed Chilwell.
‘Whoosh! Whoosh! ’ Zhuoyang and Aguero were blowing from Mahrez’s left and right, heading straight for Leicester City’s goal.
Jesus reached the bottom line in one breath and hooked back to Aguero who was in front. At this time, Akun faced the lonely little Schmeichel and could shoot him in the face, but after Akun made a feint of shooting, he shot it to Zhuo Yang on the other side.
Ten minutes into the game and two goals for nothing. Without even breaking a sweat, Zhuoyang raised the total number of goals to 27, regaining the lead.
