Although Nottingham Forest is the mid-level team of EFL Championship, Guardiola did not send out its previous substitute lineup to play.
This time, he personally led the team and brought all his main players, but he still rotated half of the main players.
Li Mingyu, Sterling, and Gabriel Jesus, the three main players in the frontcourt, were whispering to each other on the bench.
The score on the field has reached 3:0.
The time is the 40th minute of the first half.
Guardiola returned to his position with a relaxed expression, crossed his legs, and looked at the performance of the players on the field with a smile.
I'm a bit overestimating the strength of Nottingham Forest.
Looking at Li Mingyu and others who were a little bored, Guardiola showed a proud smile.
From the very beginning of this game, Manchester City controlled the rhythm of the game.
Nottingham Forest is not even a strong team in EFL Championship, let alone Manchester City who is at the top of Premier League.
The midfielder can't get the ball at all. Even if the ball is transferred, our team will kick the ball forward as soon as possible. They must not let the football stay in their own half for an extra moment.
But even so, Manchester City's goal came quickly.
The midfielder composed of Gundogan and Bernardo Silva delivered the shells to the feet of the forwards one by one.
The forward line composed of Gabriel Jesus, Mahrez, and Foden has not faced such a weak opponent for a long time.
Three strikers, each with a goal, sit side by side and divide the results, whether it's good for you or me.
In the second half, Guardiola began to mobilize his troops. He did not let Li Mingyu continue to play, but let the substitute players who usually did not get a chance to play have a good time.
Li Mingyu yawned boredly. If he had known that his opponent was so weak, why would he still come?
This bald guy with bad intentions.
Looking at the back of Guardiola's head, Li Mingyu yawned again with an unhappy look on his face.
Finally, the game ended. At Nottingham Forest's home court, Manchester City showed no courtesy and took away the victory with a bloody 7:0.
Guardiola's speech after the game made Nottingham Forest fans even more breathless.
"Nottingham Forest team has a long history and honors. Their performance is very good and they are an opponent worth learning from!"
Guardiola's remarks were posted on the Internet by fans, and the comments below were also heartbreaking.
"Nottingham Forest is too weak, Li Mingyu didn't even hit it!"
"But we have two European Cup!"
"Nottingham Forest was beaten 7:0, so pitiful!"
"But we have two European Cup!"
"Can you not say European Cup!"
"You Manchester City don't have any!"
These remarks made Manchester City fans furious.
But without the Champions League championship trophy, it is indeed a worry for Manchester City now. Even if it dominates the Premier League league, without the Champions League championship, it will never be a top team.
Just like Liverpool, although it took until the 2020 season to finally win its first Premier League league championship, but before that, who dared to deny that Liverpool was not a top team.
It's because Liverpool has the Champions League championship trophy, which gives him full confidence.
Manchester City, who passed the test smoothly, waited until FA Cup finished all the quarter-finals, and knew his opponent in the semi-finals.
Premier League the Reds Liverpool.
The two teams in the other half are Manchester United and Arsenal.
This time FA Cup's championship is full of gold!
In the twenty-third, twenty-fourth, twenty-fifth and twenty-sixth rounds of the league, Manchester City made great progress and won four consecutive victories, raising Premier League's winning streak to twenty-six games. There are only twelve games left before the season is complete.
And now Manchester City leads the second place Liverpool by 20 points. As long as Manchester City doesn't sleep on the stage in the following games, basically the Premier League champion this season has to be Manchester City.
In the middle of this week, the UEFA Champions League knockout competition reignited the war.
Bayern Munich.
Manchester City's quarter-final opponent.
This name, and the honor behind it, are so heavy that it makes people breathless.
Bundesliga is a well-deserved teacher of the king.
32 Bundesliga championships and 21 DFB-Pokal championships, 6 Champions League championships, and countless other honors decorate this football club from Germany Bavaria with splendor.
Most of the most famous players in Germany are from this team or have played for this team.
In this World Cup, about half of the players in the Germany National Team lineup are from Bayern Munich.
Bayern Munich's dominance on the Champions League field is also awesome. No team wants to meet Bayern Munich before the finals.
This is also the first time Li Mingyu has played against team Bayern Munich. Li Mingyu is in awe of this team.
The shadow of a person's life tree, Bayern Munich is a team worthy of respect.
The first time I came to Munich, Li Mingyu was immediately shocked by the passion for football here.
Looking at the shirtless Munich fans holding beers and shouting loudly outside the bus, Li Mingyu couldn't help but shudder.
It's only February, and it's winter outside. Aren't these people afraid of the cold?
Germany people are really anti-freeze!
Came to the famous Munich Allianz Arena, this stadium was originally the home stadium shared by two teams, Bayern Munich and Munich 1860. However, in August 2014, Munich 1860 was unable to pay the loan. Finally, Bayern Munich took over the loan from 1860. From then on, Allianz Arena became the exclusive property of Bayern Munich.
This is a very modern stadium. In 2006, it was used as the opening ceremony venue for Germany World Cup. Because it will host the 2020 UEFA European Championship, this stadium was expanded again. Now, this stadium can accommodate 75,000 people at the same time, making it a veritable top stadium.
Germany in February, the weather is still very cold, the temperature during the day is only about 5 degrees, and at night, the lowest temperature can reach -3 degrees.
The competition of Champions League is held at 9pm local time in Munich, so keeping warm is the first priority.
Before the game begins, players from both teams must go to the court to fully warm up.
The half-hour warm-up time allowed the players' bodies to fully open up, but the biting cold wind still made Li Mingyu shiver uncontrollably.
When I was at Spain, I had never experienced such a cold climate even in winter.
Arriving at England, Li Mingyu was already a little uncomfortable, and the weather in Germany was no less harsh.
After the warm-up, Li Mingyu returned to the locker room, took off his training clothes, put on a warm vest underneath, and then put on a thickened long-sleeved jersey and gloves. He had nothing to do with his lower body, so he wore shorts, but he also picked a pair of thick socks to protect his legs.
The fully armed Li Mingyu aroused a burst of laughter from his teammates. I have never seen a player so afraid of the cold.
Li Mingyu didn't care about their ridicule and just adjusted his equipment.
Only you know whether you are cold or not, and you are not stupid!
Guardiola explained today's tactical arrangements in detail.
Players from both sides came to the player tunnel. Many players from the two teams are good friends.
Especially Gundogan, as the main force of the national team, has many brothers in the Bayern Munich team.
Many Bayern Munich players couldn't help but look at Li Mingyu who was standing in the first row.
This young man's name has already made their ears calluses.
Bundesliga, among Europe Top Five Leagues, is a very special existence.
At present, in the other four major leagues except Bundesliga, the involvement of capital has become a common thing.
But Bundesliga, the long-standing policies have made it difficult for external funds to survive on this land.
The conservative Germany people have prevented the intervention of external funds, and they don't know whether it is a good or bad thing in this era where capital is king.
Players from both sides begin to take the field.
The moment he walked out of the tunnel, Li Mingyu was shocked by the shouts of the fans in the stadium outside.
This is a foundation.
Among Bundesliga, Bayern Munich is the king.
Any team that comes to this stadium has to be in awe of this team.
Bayern Munich's lineup today is their familiar 4-2-3-1 lineup.
The goalkeeper is No. 1 Germany national goalkeeper Neuer.
In the defense, Boateng and Alaba partner as central defenders, while Pavard and Alfonso Davis play as two wing-backs.
Kimmich and Goretzka are the team's double midfielders.
Muller, Sane, and Koeman are the attackers on the field.
Lewandowski is at the front.
This is the strongest lineup of Bayern Munich. Currently, Bayern Munich is making great progress in the league, making steady progress towards their 33rd league championship.
The referee blew his whistle, and the Champions League quarter-final knockout match that attracted everyone's attention began.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully signing in Munich Allianz Arena and obtaining the talent skill of Germany famous Lothar·Matthaus: Heavy Cannon Shot.]
Li Mingyu felt that the muscles of his two thighs had become stronger.
Although Roberto Carlos's Power Free Kick has improved the strength of some of his long-range shots, Li Mingyu is still a little dissatisfied with the strength of his long-range shots.
However, this time, Matthaus's talent skill made Li Mingyu satisfied and even more powerful.
Matthaus, many young people have never heard of this name, but in his time, he was well deserved to be the number one in the world.
And his title of No. 1 in the world is full of gold, because he won the title of the Best FIFA Men's Player for two consecutive years in 1990 and 1991, and also won the title of Ballon d'Or in 1990. In the same year, he led West Germany National Team to defeat Argentina National Team led by Maradona in the final and won the World Cup championship.
At that time, it was Maradona who was able to beat Maradona to win so many honors during the peak period of Italy. Matthaus was the number one in the world at that time, both in terms of strength and reputation.
As Maradona's "lifelong enemy", there is no doubt that Matthaus is powerful.
