Chapter Sixty-Four Coal to Newcastle

Hugo Lloris was secretly happy when he saw that it was Sergio Aguero who took the penalty kick.

The conflict between teammates was dissuaded by Tottenham people, and it was too ugly to have internal strife in front of other people's homes. Of course, the Manchester City players and Blue Moon definitely didn't think so, and they saw that funerals are never too big.

Lloris cursed and retreated to the door, while Son Heung-min walked out of the penalty area with his head lowered.

"Hi, Sun." Zhuo Yang stretched out his hand to him.

After giving him a light high-five, Zhuo Yang rubbed his head again.

Sun Xingmin didn't know what Zhuoyang wanted to express, but at this moment, he suddenly envied Zhuoyang.

Zhuoyang has traveled around and played for many teams, but I have never heard of anyone who dares to treat him the way Lloris treats Son Heung-min today. Maybe there is, but Son Heung-min doesn't know.

During the match between Manchester City and Liverpool a month ago, Zhuo Yang angrily scolded his teammates Stones, Otamendi and Ederson on the court. It was very clear on the TV cameras that the experts even lip-synced. This was a hot topic at the time.

event.

But not only did the three people who were scolded not talk back on the court, but they also tried their best to smooth things over for themselves when facing the media after the game, and even excused Zhuo Yang in unison.

More people have to throw it away than others.

Son Heung-min doesn’t want to imitate Zhuo Yang’s curse, but he also doesn’t want to be scolded by his teammates, let alone being scolded in public.

Five years ago, in the 34th round of the 2012-13 Bundesliga season, Hamburg lost 1:4 to Schalke in an away game, completely losing hope of entering the top three UEFA Champions League areas.

During the game, Hamburg winger Son Heung-min did not follow Huntelaar when he returned to defense in the 66th minute, allowing the Dutch to complete a hat trick. Central defender Westermann, who had transferred from Madiburg, was passed by Huntelaar.

, but he took his temper out on Son Heung-min.

Just like Lloris today, Westerman sprayed Son Heung-min with urine in his face.

Team boss Van der Vaart drove away Westerman and comforted Son Heung-min. He still remembers Van der Vaart's comfort that day.

——Don’t argue with that guy. When he was in Madibao, meeting Zhuo Yang was like a filial son meeting his father.

Son Heung-min knows that this comfort actually contains provocation, but rookie Son Heung-min still misses his boss Van der Vaart very much.

In 2015, Son Heung-min left Bayer Leverkusen and finally chose Tottenham among several teams, partly due to Van der Vaart's recommendation.

After leaving Real Madrid in 2010, Van der Vaart came to Tottenham to play for two years, forming a fairly dreamy midfield with Magic Flute, Bale, and Lennon before returning to Hamburg.

The 35-year-old Raphael van der Vaart currently plays for Jutland in the Danish Super League, but I heard that he is not able to play much and is basically in the reserve team. It is estimated that this year will be the same.

Tottenham star Van der Vaart told the media last Christmas: If I could, I would give Son Heung-min 100 points.

Nowadays, Son Heung-min is no longer a rookie, and he has the figure of a top star, but he is still sprayed by his teammates on the court. But this time, there is no Van der Vaart by his side to comfort him.

Brother Fan, how are you doing in a foreign country? I miss you...

Zhuoyang didn't know that Son Heung-min would think of Van der Vaart, who had long disappeared from his football memory. He knew that Aguero wanted to take a penalty kick.

"Lao Zhuo, let me kick you. I know the rules. I'll treat you to mate later."

"No problem, which one of us brothers will follow the other?"

Guardiola is annoyed by Zhuo Yang the most. He gives up the penalty kick right at the drop of a hat. Don’t you know it’s only 1:0 now?

Before Zhuo Yang came, penalty kicks were actually Manchester City's weakness. Aguero was the first penalty kicker, but he only had a 68% hit rate, which is like pulling the flagpole from the chopsticks. Pergone also tried Ding Ding and Sturt before.

Lin, Toure and even Fernando, but none of them were reliable, and in the end it fell to Aguero, who needed goals the most.

Seeing Aguero come to play was a double blessing for Lloris. The first joy was that he got his wish and beat Son Heung-min, which made him feel very happy.

As long as Zhuo Yang is not kicking, Lloris will feel happy and confident.

Coach Tuchel, who was idle in the stands, asked former Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher next to him: "Do you think Aguero will miss the penalty?"

Tuchel is free and just comes to watch the game, which has nothing to do with Manchester City, Tottenham, Lao Gua, Zhuo Yang or Gundogan. He is also a rock music lover and met Gallagher a few years ago.

There is no doubt that Liam Gallagher is a talented person, but he has a bad temper and a bad mouth, otherwise he would not have broken up such a good band Oasis because of a fight with his brother.

Gallagher and the former Oasis band were die-hard Manchester City fans. At that time, Manchester City was still a mediocre poor boy. At that time, David Beckham, an Oasis fan, persuaded Gallagher to switch to Manchester United, but he drove away with a stern face: Red and blue have been since ancient times.

If you don't agree with each other, get out!

That year, Princess Diana died in a car accident in France, and the whole country mourned. Liam Gallagher stood up and pouted and said: Many people never visit their mothers’ graves, but they cry because of a princess they don’t even know.

It's too hypocritical to have to live and die.

How about it? Does this guy have the qualities of a bully? He talks nonsense all day long.

Whether a former rock star or a popular idle football coach, they all need to maintain a certain degree of media exposure, so today the two appeared together in the stands of the City Stadium.

When Tuchel asked himself, Gallagher replied without hesitation: "I can definitely kick it in, Aguero..."

Before he finished speaking, Akun's push shot accurately hit the right goal post.

"...It's a shame."

Loris' joy continues, but happiness is like the memories of the Green Wind Band, it is always fleeting.

‘Boom!’

Zhuo Yang made a sliding tackle and put the football into the goal first, 2:0.

"Whoever belongs to him belongs to him." Tuchel stood up and applauded.

Guardiola also spread his hands and shrugged on the sidelines, with 'carry coals to newcastle' written all over his face.

‘carry coals to newcastle’ is a British idiom, literally translated as ‘carrying coal to Newcastle’. Newcastle is the coal capital of the UK, so ‘carry coals to newcastle’ means: take off your pants and fart – unnecessary.

Then the game ended in the first half.

The internal strife between Lloris and Son Heung-min greatly affected Tottenham's morale. Uncle Po had to do something, so he replaced Son Heung-min with Lamela.

You can’t replace Lloris, right?

Sun Xingmin didn't argue for himself, he just thought of Van der Vaart again.

A strong dialogue usually means that the difference between 2:0 and 1:0 in the first half is very big. The second goal means that Tottenham has no way out. If they don’t want to lose the character of a strong team, they can only risk being missed in the second half.

Take the risk.

The result was just as Pochettino hoped, Tottenham was missed.

Tottenham persisted until the 70th minute, and then Ding Ding received Zhuo Yang's pass in the penalty area and shot diagonally to score another victory, 3:0.

Maybe Uncle Po realized something at this time, and he replaced Alli with Sissoko, who was in extremely poor condition today.

The game after that belonged to Sterling, who came on as a substitute for Aguero. He scored twice in the 80th and 85th minutes, giving Tottenham another bitter taste of 0:5.

When the camera showed Son Heung-min on the bench, his face was expressionless.

East Asians are used to keeping their sorrows and joys secret. Seeing Lloris crying and unhappy, Son Heung-min was actually quite relieved.

The final score was 5:1. In the 902nd, Sterling and Foden, who replaced Zhuoyang, made a mistake in passing the ball in the backcourt. Eriksson intercepted the ball and scored a goal to save face.
