249 Chapter 249
The conceit in Yu Zixiang Nicholas was not aware of it at the beginning, although in retrospect, he thought it was actually very obvious.
At first, Spaniards were puzzled as to why the Asian boy didn't have an English name. He even asked Christine.
Christine said: "Many Chinese in the UK, starting from the second generation of immigrants, will use English names as names and Chinese names as middle names. Like me, my full name is Kristen Ling-Lu. However, my father has asked me since I was a child to emphasize my Chinese name when telling others my English name. I thought it was stupid when I was a kid, but then I got used to it. Anyway, the people who would laugh at me for having two names won't end up befriending me. You see, my thinking is, what are two names? I just have a hundred names and it doesn't matter to you. But Zixiang is different, after he was racially discriminated against by a bastard on the basis of his name when he was a child, he used his middle name as his first name instead of an English name. ”
Nicholas listened to it at the time and smiled. Zixiang does have a strange conceit, different from him, different from Christine, and different from Patrick. In fact, among the three fools, his favorite is Yu Zixiang. It has always been a pity that he was not brought to Everton.
Not to mention, they both like beautiful women. This guy also messaged him a few months ago, telling him:
[Mr. Flores, I'm reading The Sun, I have to say that the type of girl you like is very similar to me, except for ......]
Nicholas felt that if he was a teenager younger and was a teammate with Yu Zixiang, he would definitely drink with him.
Although, imagining this picture, it is somewhat absurd.
Right now, the Asian boy on TV isn't doing well. The Everton boss was a little worried.

Yu Zixiang was out of breath. That goal was in the middle and he wasn't directly responsible. But Jacob was a bit out of position at that moment and he should have made up for the middle to interfere with Zivkovic, but he was a step too late to let the Serb pass the ball.
His ankle was getting more and more painful, but he didn't want to be replaced.
This team used to be considered Patter's, but he was actually very clear all along that this team was not Patter's, never had been. Rather, as the fans sang in that song, this is "Christine's Blue and White".
And now, the good buddy who played with him in the reserve team has gone to Spain. Zixiang knows that he is not a top talent like Pate or Jesus, but he also knows that there is no one who can take his place well.
He can't get off the field.
After this set-piece, Ian ran towards him.
The Scotsman's eyes were fixed on him, "You should take a break, you've been doing it for a long time, and if it goes on like this, you'll hurt even more." This summer's World Cup ......"
"How are you like Tim, Ian! I know my body, it's a little problem, it's fine. Also, don't give me a little report to the guy who wears a lot of hairspray. ”
Ian smiled wryly, "Of course I won't tell Tim...... But I don't want you to ...... either."
"Ohshutup, ian!!, is this true for all married people? Pat must be watching in front of the TV, do you want him to think we don't have balls?"
Ian moved his lips and didn't say anything more, he never said anything more about Zixiang. So, the Scotsman patted his buddy on the shoulder and quickly ran back to the defensive position.
Manchester City remain in control. But this time, Lu Ling pressed in the front court again according to the plan of the first half.
This time the pressing, which spared no one, was truly pure high pressing, and every player in the sky blue jersey was taken care of by QPR's players.
City's physical exertion had intensified, and after two passes, there were almost mistakes, with Otamendi's pass grazing Leon's toe and goalkeeper Bravo scurrying the ball into the centre circle.
Mensah controlled the high ball, and QPR won possession and began to pass down at his own back.
Glenn's long pass fell to the right, seemingly deliberately avoiding Yu Zixiang, who was injured on the left. So, right-back John O'Connor got the ball and dribbled forward.
Four QPR players gathered on the right flank, and they made a few passes and immediately fed into the box. León has his back in front of the penalty area.
Behind him was Otamendi, the Argentine centre-back who almost gave away a penalty to QPR in the first half and is now much more cautious. He only used his body to interfere with Leon, but without his feet, Leon couldn't turn around for a while.
At this time, Yu Zixiang on the left ran all the way up. Manchester City have exposed a lot of space along the way.
Zixiang's running posture is slightly strenuous. Leon hesitated, but Otamendi's foot came up.
Leon subconsciously dodged and cleared the ball. Thiago also came from the side.
Can't hesitate any longer.
Leon shook the outside of his right foot and knocked the ball to Zixiang on the left.
Zixiang got the ball, and Gundogan pounced on it from the side. But Zixiang took the ball forward and kicked the ground with his right foot, but it still crossed the German back.
He sent in a cross with his dominant foot, which was the injured left foot. In order to avoid the pain affecting his accuracy, he deliberately pushed harder, but the ball crossed the box and went the other way.
Fortunately, John quickly chased the ball down the right and created a corner.
****
"He's hurt, that idiot is hurt. Patrick's mouth twitched.
Jack was about to speak, but Patrick stood up and yelled again, "Tina just wanted to change him, that idiot didn't want to play." ”
Zoe seemed unhappy with her master's unstable mood, and she yelled at Patrick twice, jumped off the couch, and went to his feet. Patrick crouched down and picked up the bulldog and sat back down on the couch.
On the field, QPR began to compete with Manchester City for the initiative. The physical advantage allowed them to win a part of the ball.
In the 75th minute, the score was still 1:1. That's not enough for either team.
Lu Ling made the first substitution of the game. He replaced Mario Fernandez with centre-forward Artem Dzyuba and adjusted the formation from 541 to 442, adding a striker and removing a defender.
But there is still no change of Yu Zixiang.
Yu Zixiang's side seems to be unable to complete long-distance sprints, so the attack on the left side is not working well, and the QPR is more on the right side, but this is easy to be limited - playing only one side is easy to be targeted and killed by the opponent's defense.
Although he had the ball, he didn't have a good chance. León didn't even have a shot on goal in the second half.
And that's when Manchester City started to attack. The starting point is still Zhivkovic.
The Serb started from his own side's right touchline and stabbed diagonally towards the middle, forcing Zixiang to defend with his unaccustomed right foot.
Živkovic's most outstanding technical trait is his ability to deliver good passes without warning in a quick dribble – his pass preparation is so small that defenders can't anticipate it. This is a quality that only a very few players can have, the realm of the unity of man and ball.
Thanks to this ability, Zivkovic has registered 20 assists in the Premier League this season, which has equalled Thierry Henry's previous record for assists in a single season.
Zixiang dragged his injured foot and followed Zhivkovic.
At this moment, he thought of Pat.
Lu Ling, who was on the sidelines, also thought of Patrick.
Živkovic, like Patrick, is left foot. Although Patrick's feet are more balanced, he often cuts inside diagonally from the right to the middle due to his playing habits.
In training, they have played against each other countless times, and most of the time Zixiang is deflated. But in this confrontation, Zixiang also learned something somewhat.
Yu Zixiang stared at the Serb, he was extremely skilled and an absolute genius. But he's not as good as Pat, that's for sure.
Pat can make a feint in the opposite direction when cutting all the way inside, or even change direction directly to pass Zixiang on the other side. And the person in front of him, the right foot is not so good, that is, once he starts to cut inward, he can only go in one direction. Indeed, he is adept at sudden changes in tempo and delivering passes without warning.
But Zixiang guessed that he would only lead all the way to the middle for now, and look for opportunities to pass the ball at any time.
Živkovic looked up and watched as he cut inside with the ball.
It can only be by feeling.
Zixiang sensed that Zhivkovic seemed to have locked on to the target, but there was no noticeable change in his feet.
At this moment, Zixiang did not hesitate to put down the shovel.
Zhivkovic was indeed ready to pass the ball at this moment, but after seeing Zixiang's movement, he realized that he should retract the movement, but his foot had already touched the ball. The ball was directly blocked back by Zixiang's body.
But the Serb was very nimble and immediately used his foot to flick the ball.
Zixiang stretched out his injured foot and kicked the ball out first.
Striker Leon also retreated at this point, and he got the ball that bounced out.
Zixiang saw his teammates holding the ball, desperately propped up the ground, jumped up and rushed forward, pointing his finger in front of him and shouting "Leon !!"
And almost at the same time, Lu Ling, who was standing on the sidelines, was also shouting hoarsely: "Ian!!"
Patrick in front of the TV opened his arms suddenly: "!!!" Zoe was startled, but this time she only whined twice, and didn't even bother to lift her eyelids.
At this time, almost all the QPR players retreated, except for Leon who retreated, Vargas and Campbell were also in defensive positions, and they were all on the wing. Jacob followed the opposition midfielder Thiago all the way to the defence, and no matter how fast he was, he couldn't have been in time for the attack. And the center Dzyuba is too bulky to keep up.
The moment Ian heard the coach's order, Ian followed Zixiang's footsteps and ran forward at full speed.
Zixiang received the pass and then sprinted in from the left with the ball.
Manchester City's formation, the width of the backfield is not enough, if the frontcourt player with the ball rashly loses the ball, there are still hidden dangers.
Zixiang's dribbling posture was already very uncoordinated, but he just kicked the ground and went all the way on the left side.
Manchester City's players are coming back to defence quickly.
Ian follows in the middle.
Zixiang glanced at the middle of the road.
The golden partners of the reserve team have always been Zixiang and Patrick.
But Ian is the one who understands the two men best. He instinctively knew the pace of his friend's play, and that's when he slowed down.
Now is the time!
Zixiang gave the ball to Ian who was heading to the middle, and continued to rush forward.
Ian was in front of Otamendi, and Stones was quick to make up for Yu's side.
The Scot received the ball and looked up to the left front.
Stones is not slow, and if he passes through now, maybe the ball will be caught up directly.
And Otamendi is already on the horizon.
Can't think about it anymore. Ian actually made a left-sided pedal on the spot and then flicked the ball to the right.
This was a complete surprise to Otamendi, who rushed too hard and was shaken away.
Ian then sent a powerful through ball to the left.
The ball is in a hurry. Stones and Zixiang were already almost shoulder to shoulder, and they rushed towards the ball together.
Yu Zixiang caught up with the ball first, but the ball was about to go out of the bottom line. And Stones has fallen to the ground and slid the tackle.
Yu Zixiang kicked the ground hard with his injured left foot, and then took a step forward with his right foot to support him, throwing his whole body forward while sweeping the ball with his left foot.
The cross went over the leg that Stones tackled, but it was too strong.
Leon had already stepped forward by this time, but the ball flew a little high. The ball was opened open by Bravo's punch, but León's forward cut in somewhat interfered with the Chilean goalkeeper.
And Ian didn't stop cutting forward after passing the ball earlier. He rushed to the top of the arc of the penalty area. Bravo's ball falls.
Gundogan has come back. But the Scot didn't pause and volleyed the ball straight into the net.
Go straight to the top corner!
In the 83rd minute, QPR exceeded the score again!!
QPR2:1 Manchester City!
Huge cheers erupted in the Etihad's away fan zone, echoing over the stadium in the Manchester metropolitan area.
And the QPR's coaching bench and bench are all in a state of madness.
There was a dead silence for a second or two in the common room at Finch Farm.
Patrick jumped up from the couch the moment he scored...... Jack hurriedly took Zoe into his arms.
Patrick ran around the living room several times, his mouth moaning all the time.
The manager of QPR on the sidelines was still staring at the ball that went into the net, when suddenly, she was pushed by Tim and George, who rushed from behind her, and almost fell, but Tim dragged her again.
She always seems to be in such moments of ecstasy...... Almost got on my head.
She turned around and high-fived them. But when she looked at the field with her fists clenched, her brow furrowed again. She hurriedly shouted the name of the team doctor to the chaotic crowd, and then she turned around to look at the situation on the field as she walked towards the fourth officer.
After the goal, Ian rushed directly to Zixiang, who fell out of the bottom line on the left side. Zixiang sat on the ground grinning, as if he was getting ready to get up.
Ian came over and pounced on him.
Zixiang screamed twice: "Stupid, don't press my feet...... I thought you worked so hard in the gym every day to serve Kate well, and it looks like you still have two more hits. ”
Ian ignored his words and shouted, "We're going to win! We're going to win! Zixiang! It's all because of you!"
All his teammates rushed up and pounced on Ian, and Zixiang crawled to the side for fear that they would crush his left foot.
The team doctor entered the field, treated Zixiang outside the baseline for a while, and then helped him off the field.
When he reached the other end of the court, Lu Ling walked over and high-fived Zixiang, "Well done, boy! I'm sorry......"
Zixiang immediately interrupted the coach's words: "I'm fine, boss." He smiled again, and he was actually very handsome when he smiled.
Lu Ling stiffened his face for a moment, and then rubbed Zixiang's head vigorously, "Zixiang, you are a great warrior!" I think Sam Allardyce must have thought the same way, but he must have been terrified. Leave the rest to your teammates. Rest well. ”
She then turned to Nedham and Alvaro, the left-back substitute who had been warming up for a long time, on the other side:
"You two, get ready to play! Tell everybody to be a back five and defend with all your might. We've got to win this game!!" 166 Reading.com
