Glory Greenery

Chapter 782 Uncertainty

There is a saying that people are popular, and so is the team.

It was originally a small internal dispute, but because of the loss to Tottenham in the seventh round, it was virtually magnified

Under such circumstances, Manchester City's top executives held an emergency meeting, and even the big boss Mansour flew in from Abu Dhabi to listen.

Obviously, the Manchester City club attaches great importance to issues within the team.

In addition to the high-level executives, coach Ancelotti, the coaching staff representative Kidd, and captain Yang Mo also attended the meeting as team representatives.

"The problem on the front line, Mr. Ancelotti, how are you going to solve it?"

Manchester City Chairman Hosni Mubarak took the lead in asking questions.

Aguero is one of the core players in the Manchester City team after Yang Mo, so Aguero's voice must be taken seriously.

"I can comfort him," Ancelotti said.

"Appeasement is not the solution to the problem. I know you like lone striker tactics, but we have four good players on the front line. You have to make changes. You did a good job last season."

Mubarak tapped.

Everyone understands that for Manchester City, which has to fight on multiple fronts this season, the four forwards are actually not too many.

As long as Ancelotti doesn't play any single striker, the playing time of several players can be arranged.

Vardy can accept the rotation.

Sane is a newcomer, of course, there is no problem.

After all, no matter how confident he is, it is impossible to take away the starter from Yang Mo and Aguero.

For Manchester City, the problem on the front line is actually not big.

The tricky thing is the problem of the midfield.

Buying Gundogan is an arrangement of the club, and Ancelotti can only accept it passively.

Otamendi's inability to play is entirely a matter of ability.

"With the health of David Silva and De Bruyne, I can reduce the number of games of Gundogan. As for Otamendi, I recommend putting it on the market during the winter break. He has no chance to play in the team, unless he is willing to come off the bench."

After thinking for a long time, Ancelotti gave his final opinion.

After discussing with a group of high-level officials, Mubarak turned to Yang Mo who had been silent all this time, "Yang, what's your opinion?"

Yang Mo shook his head, "No."

Although he has the ability to participate in these things, he doesn't want to participate.

He is just a player, there is no need to do something that is destined to attract criticism.

"Okay, let's make this decision for now, Eric, you can talk to Otamendi, if he still insists, then help him find a next home."

After Mubarak finished his explanation, the meeting was adjourned.

Everyone left one after another, but Mansur, who was sitting on the sidelines, stopped Yang Mo.

"Are you free tonight, I have a party tonight."

"I'm sorry Mr. Mansour, I have to go back to China to participate in the world preliminaries." Yang Mo said.

"That's a pity, next time."

"Ok."

After Yang Mo left the conference room, assistant coach Kidd joked: "I thought you would agree."

"Tonight's air ticket, I have to go back to training, you know, I rarely have time to participate in the training of the national team." Yang Mo shook his head.

Everyone envied Mansoor's attitude towards him.

But none of them understood that Mansur's attitude towards him was not because of his pandering, but because he knew what he should do.

On the overnight flight, Yang Mo flew directly to his hometown Chang'an City.

He is alone on this trip, and his wife has to deal with some finishing touches at work.

After marriage, the wife decided to withdraw from the work circle completely.

Some endorsement activities are not intended to be fulfilled, and liquidated damages are paid directly.

Some of the more important ones are finished, and they also said that they will not renew their contracts.

He persuaded, saying that there is no need to do this.

But the wife said that after marriage, the family is her career.

Flying overnight, he fell asleep after entering the business class. When he woke up, the plane was about to land, which disappointed many passengers who wanted to ask him for autographs and group photos.

After a few games, the exit was still the same, full of people.

Now he no longer expects his whereabouts to be kept secret.

After getting away from the airport, he took the special car sent by the national team and went straight to the training base.

It happened to be the afternoon in China at this time, and he met with the head coach while he was energetic, and after chatting with his teammates, he lay down on the bed again and forced to rest.

He only stayed in the country for a few days, and there was no rush for jet lag, which could not allow him to fully adapt to the domestic game time.

This is also a common problem for many non-European players returning to China to compete.

Hurrying to play in a state of jet lag, fatigue, and lack of energy are the most likely to lead to injuries.

After two days of simple training with my teammates, when the time came to October 10, the Chinese team's home game against Syria began.

The "San Suzaku Stadium" was full of seats, and the villagers' support for Yang Mo was as enthusiastic as ever.

The gongs and drums are loud, and the voices are all in unison!
In the fiery atmosphere at home, Yang Mo scored twice and assisted Zheng Zhi to score a header. Two shots and one pass helped the Chinese team win the third round of the top 12 of the world preliminaries.

The fly in the ointment is that the defense of the Chinese team did not withstand Syria's attack. They scored a goal at the last moment of the second half and ended the game 3-1.

Under the adjustment of Lippi, the problem still exists in the defense line of the Chinese team that has absorbed young players.

The problem of the defense was exposed again in the game against Uzbekistan five days later, and it was more serious than against Syria.

In the first half, Yang Mo gave the Chinese team a two-goal lead with one pass and one shot. Such a score made everyone feel that the game was stable.

Maybe Lippi felt the same way.

So in the second half, Lippi changed two young players in the defense from the beginning, intending to exercise in the world preliminaries.

Among them, there is Zhongwei Shike in 93.

As a result, the young player was directly blown away by the Uzbekistan striker in the second half.

The slightly poor confrontation ability makes it very difficult to fight.

The delay in concentrating made him make repeated low-level mistakes.

In the 65th minute of the second half, Uzbekistan striker Sergeyev pulled back a goal.

The player who played for Guoan in the Chinese Super League was very excited after scoring a goal, and the audience cheered. After all, this game was played at home in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.

Just 7 minutes later, the striker scored another goal to help Uzbekistan equalize.

And these two goals are all related to Shi Ke, who played in the second half.

Domestic microblogs, post bars, and forums have completely scolded Shi Ke because of these two conceded goals.

Don't look at Yang Mo's previous post, but it has absolutely no effect on changing the fans' opinion.

Faced with this situation, Lippi can only pin his hopes on Yang Mo, hoping that Yang Mo can open the situation with a goal.

Yang Mo did not let Lippi down. In the 83rd minute, he rode through the barrier alone and scored a goal, leading the score to 2-3!

The game is coming to an end, and a victory is about to be won.

But at this moment, the back line lost the chain again.

Or Shike.

A low-level mistake sent the ball to the Uzbekistan player, but the opponent seized the opportunity to shoot through the goal guarded by Zeng Cheng.

3-3.

In the 808th minute of the game, Uzbekistan evened the score again.

At this point in time, Uzbekistan can't hold on, even Yang Mo can't help it.

After the tentative two-footed long-range shot was unsuccessful, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game. The Chinese team won a draw for the second time after playing against Iran.

With two wins and two draws, after four games in the top 12 group stage, the Chinese team ranked second in the standings with eight points.

In front of the Chinese team is the Iranian team with three wins and one draw.

Behind them is the South Korean team with two wins and two losses.

Originally, in the eyes of everyone in the country, Yang Mo should be able to easily advance to the qualifiers, but now it seems that there are more uncertainties because of the two draws.
