Everton, Manchester City and Lyon s Trek

Recently, there are several teams who seem to have fallen into the myth of "the more functions, the better". The cards in their hands seem gorgeous, but they don't know how to play a straight set. Today we will talk about these teams.

(I) Toffee Everton's sweet worries: This poisonous apple of Galish?

Everton has won two games in a row. Gallish, who was loaned, has scored 4 assists in two games. The data is as eye-catching as the newly opened Apple phone, shining with an attractive light. Moyes smiled from ear to ear, and the fans also began to sing praises. It all looks beautiful, right?

But this beauty is like the thunderstorm in the summer afternoon. It comes quickly and goes quickly, and may even lift the roof. The arrival of Gallish directly disrupted Everton's most promising game. Their best attacker, Ndiaye, was a natural left attacker, forced to move to the right to make room for the "Prince". It's not over yet, and the team turned around and signed from Southampton with a left-footed young player Di Brynn on the right.

Now the problem is, Moyes holds three talented attackers in his hand, but only one left. It’s like the third master dating three girlfriends at the same time, but found that they were sisters. No matter how you deal with this situation, it’s a mess. How long can Gallish's data last? How long can Ndiaye endure the awkwardness on the right? How long does the new arrival of Diblin have to sit still? These series of problems are more troublesome than solving a high-math problem. Sometimes, the result of 1+1+1 is not 3, but internal friction and chaos.

This is an invisible dividing line that separates the scenery on both sides of the English Channel.

(II) The wandering earth in England: Why does flowers bloom inside and outside the wall smell?

Before the international match, Marseille and Lyon had a derby, and Lyon ended up 1-0. The game itself was a mess, like two drunk men wrestling in the mud. But in the chaos, there is an interesting phenomenon: a large number of English players are scattered on the court.

There are Greenwood, Gomez (from Manchester United youth training, before Lille) and Conrad Egan Riley (also from Manchester United youth training, before playing football at Burnley); there are Niles (this is known, from Arsenal youth training) and Morton (from Liverpool youth training, before playing football at Hull City, currently England's U21 international). The scene

was unimaginable 10 years ago. At that time, English players were like fish that could not live without water and rarely wanted to move. Now, this group of wandering earth has found their value on the European continent. In particular, midfielders like Angel Gomez and Taylor Morton, the control and rhythm they demonstrated in Ligue 1 are exactly the scariest qualities in the Premier League.

This brings up a deeper question: Why do English clubs always don’t like the midfield they cultivate? England's football culture has always favored those fierce Zhang Fei who are rushing around, and Zhuge Liang is always not interested in planning. Watching these players who should have shined in the Premier League become pillars in foreign countries, you don’t know whether to be grateful for them or sad for English football. By the way, Lyon won all three games in the new season. You should know that last season was almost ordered to be relegated due to financial problems. Although he sold a lot of people in the summer, the transfer operation was pretty good. It seems that he has found a treasure on "Taobao" again.

(III) Manchester City's blue melancholy: When the champion tries to shake hands with the future

If Everton's troubles are "the troubles of the poor", then what Manchester City encounters is a typical "rich disease". I lost two games in three games at the beginning, and the offense was no longer destroyed, and the defense began to leak. Guardiola's team seems to have entered a strange period of transformation.

Look at the team's lineup against Brighton, it is full of philosophical questions: What is Marmush? Number nine and a half? Pseudo-Nine? Or is a tourist on the field wearing a No. 10 jersey? Where is the best position for Nunes? Does Husanov really have the ability to start in the Premier League?

The most confusing operation is the goalkeeper's position. They just paid for Trafford and let him start. After three games, he quickly signed Donnarumma, who was bigger. Donnarumma is good, but is it really necessary?

Today, Manchester City is like a successful middle-aged man. While trying to maintain his current dominance, he is anxious to make arrangements for his future. They want to win the present while preparing for the post-Guardiola era. This kind of fighting left and right makes them seem staggering, full of contradictions and melancholy.
