I don't just score goals

Christmas is getting closer.

Although Hao Qiang has no habit of celebrating Christmas.

However, it is very pleasant to decorate your home with five golden flowers to create a festive atmosphere.

It has already snowed in some areas in northern England. Hao Qiang, who usually lives in seclusion, also took his family to see the snow scene and enjoy the beautiful scenery covered in silver.

Manchester City visit Leicester City on a midweek night.

The League Cup quarter-finals are here as scheduled.

Hao Qiang was not included in the squad and took a rest.

Manchester City's overall rotation performed well.

Dzeko scored twice and Krarov scored, Manchester City defeated Leicester City 3:1 in the away game and advanced to the semi-finals of the League Cup.

Manchester City's performance in the new season so far can definitely satisfy fans.

As for the battle between Tianwangshan and Barcelona in the Champions League knockout round, that will have to wait until two months later. Worry about tomorrow.

In the 17th round of the league, Manchester City came to London as a guest to challenge Fulham.

The game went smoothly in the first half. Hao Qiang cut in from the wing and scored with a long shot, and Kompany scored with a header from the set ball.

Manchester City went into the dressing room with a two-goal lead.

As a result, once the second half came out, Yaya Toure was unwilling to be lonely again.

He felt that this game should be a game of abuse.

A two-goal lead is always safe.

The result may have been bad luck for him.

His aggressive advance collided with Fulham's desperate counterattack.

Manchester City's defense is in dire straits.

In the 52nd minute, the opponent recovered a goal.

Yaya Toure didn't dare to wander anymore, and immediately sat back and did his job.

However, Fulham gained momentum and launched a continuous offensive. Near the 70th minute of the game, a cross ball caused Kompany to score an own goal.

Fulham fans were ecstatic.

Pellegrini was speechless.

Instead of blaming Kompany, the Manchester City generals stared at Yaya Toure with complicated eyes.

Yaya Toure himself didn't notice it, but now it was clear that an evil trend had formed.

As long as Manchester City loses the ball and Yaya Toure has any unauthorized behavior on the field, then the Manchester City players will shift the responsibility to Yaya Toure.

Since you can let others take the blame, why should you face it yourself?

Yaya Toure has become a perfect scapegoat.

Even though this is wrong, they are players, not saints.

There is not so much thinking about right and wrong.

This is of course related to Yaya Toure's behavior. When he makes others feel uncomfortable and deviates from the right track, he will either become an angel or a devil in everyone's eyes.

Anyway, Yaya Toure feels that he is quite innocent.

But not only the players, but also the fans' patience with him has run out.

"Sell it! Why bother!"

"He wants to be a general, but he doesn't even want to do the work of a soldier."

"It's easy to sell him, but where will the substitutes come from?"

Manchester City is back on its feet.

When he accelerated the pace and launched an attack, Aguero was violated under the tight defense of his opponent and retired injured!

Pellegrini almost wanted to vomit blood.

I thought it was going smoothly, but now not only may I not win the game, but I have also lost Aguero.

Dzeko and Milner came on as substitutes.

Dzeko took the center position and Hao Qiang moved to the wing, but Fulham's restriction on Hao Qiang's marking did not reduce the intensity.

Hao Qiang turned to actively create opportunities for his teammates.

After all, Fulham did not have particularly strong strength, which restricted Dzeko and blocked Hao Qiang's threat to the goal.

But when Manchester City was concentrating on bombing indiscriminately, Fulham would always be able to retreat even if the entire army retreated.

In the last ten minutes of the game, Hao Qiang assisted Navas and Milner to score!

Manchester City defeated Fulham 4:2 away from home.

At the end of the game, everyone was relieved.

Winning is winning, but it’s not satisfying enough.

The fans were even more worried for a while.

When Pellegrini was asked about Yaya Toure's performance after the game, he said bluntly: "He needs to adjust his mentality and state. Obviously his contribution to the team is not convincing now."

Pellegrini feels the need to knock Yaya Toure.

Otherwise his heart may not be able to bear it.

When Fleet Street asked him how to resolve the conflict between Hao Qiang and Yaya Toure, Pellegrini was speechless.

You can only change the subject.

The conflict between them has developed into a very strange situation.

He looked like he had never interacted with each other until death.

But no one was making trouble anymore.

Hao Qiang concentrates on his forward job and naturally receives support and praise from the fans.

Yaya Toure sometimes works very hard as a defensive midfielder, but he may not always receive praise from the outside world.

It seems that he should be working hard.

But this is the fate of the defensive midfielder.

Maybe when an era ends, people will look back and comment on and praise the outstanding defensive midfielder.

But it is impossible to focus on reporting how powerful the defensive midfielder is after the game every week.

As for income, the defensive midfielder is not as good as the forward. This is a matter of course and has been true since ancient times.

Yaya Toure insists on competing with Hao Qiang. Even if everyone thinks that Hao Qiang's income in the Premier League is outrageous, the comparison of the income of a midfielder and a forward is unreasonable no matter how you look at it.

As long as Hao Qiang doesn't stretch his hips, no one can be picky about him.

Yaya Toure is different. If he performs well, he doesn't get much praise, but if he performs poorly, he is fatal to Manchester City's overall defense.

Mistakes on the football field will always be magnified infinitely.

No matter the performance on the field or the direction of public opinion, Yaya Toure can no longer compete with him, while Hao Qiang has an out-of-sight mentality.

After all, his conflict with Yaya Toure does not seem like he and Lavezzi are still competing for the main position.

He can't control others.

If other Manchester City players, coaches and senior management cannot find the problem, or do not think there is a problem with Yaya Toure, then it is obvious that the problem is with him, Hao Qiang.

He chose to wait and see what happened and concentrate on doing his own thing.

...

The family feels the joyful atmosphere of Christmas.

However, Hao Qiang faced Manchester City's first Christmas devilish schedule since landing in the Premier League.

At this time in previous years, Ligue 1, Bundesliga, and Serie A have all entered the winter break.

He will also find a place to vacation.

But this year we continue to fight.

Somewhat uncomfortable.

But considering the weekly salary of 600,000 pounds, he must overcome physical and mental fatigue.

In the first game of the Christmas Devil schedule, Manchester City sat at the Etihad Stadium to face the second-ranked Red Army Liverpool in the league.

Manchester City defeated Arsenal before, and Liverpool caught up again.

The stands at the Etihad Stadium are filled with Christmas spirit.

Many fans cosplayed as Santa Claus and cheered in the stands.

Compared with Manchester City who fought on three fronts in the first half of the season, Liverpool can be said to have only one front in the league.

Liverpool, which had hit a trough in the past few years, did not even compete in the European competition this season. It was eliminated from the League Cup in September and only focused on the league after playing all the way.

Rodgers' team has much less schedule pressure than other teams competing for the Premier League title.

Liverpool fans finally stood up again after being frustrated for several years!

But Manchester City may really not think too highly of Liverpool.

After all, Liverpool was not even a rival to Manchester City in the past few years.

Aguero's injury has reduced Manchester City's forward strength.

Hao Qiang partners with Navas and Nasri to form a trident.

Silva, Yaya Toure and Fernandinho are the regular midfield three.

On the back line, Kompany and Lescott formed the backbone, with Zabaleta and Krarov playing as the two full-backs.

Pantilimon returned to the bench and Joe Hart returned to the main lineup.

It's hard to say who is better, Pantilimon or Joe Hart. Even though the actual performances of the two are similar, Pellegrini still chose to be humane. Letting Joe Hart return to the main force can reduce the instability in the Manchester City locker room.

Liverpool started 433.

Goalkeeper: Mignolet.

Defenders: Glen Johnson, Skrtel, Sakho, Sissoko.

Midfielder: Lucas, Joe Allen, Henderson.

Forwards: Sterling, Suarez, Coutinho.

The injury of Gerrard, the soul of the Red Army, will definitely have a significant impact on the strength of the Red Army.

After the game started, the offensive and defensive confrontation between the two teams continued the fierce style of the Premier League, but the positional battle was a bit stretched.

There was no spark between Hao Qiang and Nasri, and the coordination of passing and cutting and running and tearing up screens could not reach the same rhythm.

Moreover, the overall condition of both teams in the Christmas game was not at its best, and the scene was a bit ugly.

Rogers brought Liverpool a short-passing and fast-moving style of play, making Liverpool's offense more delicate and smooth.

This shift towards a European style has seen positive results for Liverpool at least this season.

Suarez caused a lot of trouble for Manchester City's defense in the frontcourt.

His quick movement, cunning control of the ball, and superb shooting skills tested goalkeeper Joe Hart.

Liverpool's overall cooperation ideas are very unified.

On the other hand, Manchester City's forward line is slightly inferior.

Hao Qiang and Nasri were wearing the same jersey, but they seemed like strangers.

If we don't cooperate together, we won't be able to create a team threat.

So Hao Qiang could only do it by himself. After all, with the support of Navas and Silva, the situation was not too bad.

The two teams are getting better and better, increasing the threat. In the 26th minute of the game, Coutinho cut in from the left side of the frontcourt to receive Henderson's direct pass. He spiked the ball and changed direction to dodge the press from Yaya Toure, and then met with Suarez.

After hitting the wall and cooperating, Si entered the left rib area of ​​the penalty area and kicked the ball into the far corner of the goal.

The football drew a beautiful internal arc in the air and fell into the far corner of the goal.

Coutinho rushed to the sideline to celebrate, and the Red Army fans almost cried with joy!

"Stand up, we really stand up!"

"I have long said that we will one day return to the top of the Premier League!"

"Rogers still has something."

Manchester City fans looked helpless.

Christmas is coming and no one wants to lose at home.

To be precise, I hope to win at home.

Although Yaya Toure was responsible for the ball just now, Lescott was also hit behind.

In addition, Coutinho really performed well, and his goals were impeccable in both coordination and individual performance.

Hao Qiang looked at the celebrating crowd of Liverpool, Coutinho and Suarez. If you include Gerrard who is absent, Liverpool does have the capital to compete for the championship.

As for Sterling, England's talented supernova touted by Fleet Street, he hasn't seen much besides speed and dribbling.

Hao Qiang was about to kick off, and when he looked at Nasri next to him, he suddenly felt in his heart: There is no harm without comparison!
