Step by Step to Win

The first round of the Champions League round of sixteen was really depressing for Manchester City fans. Watching his team launch a fierce attack but unable to get a decent opportunity, this makes the fans really depressed. Twenty minutes have passed since the game, and their attacks have never been able to get a good chance, which is also a bit depressing.

Before the game, no one thought that Wolfsburg would be able to block Manchester City too hard to grasp. Faced with such an iron wall, Manchester City fans have an illusion that perhaps their team is not naturally suitable for playing in the Champions League.

For the Champions League, Manchester City fans can be described as a love-hate relationship. Since the Arabs began to inject funds for Manchester City, Manchester City's progress in the Premier League can be said to be visible to the naked eye. In contrast, their Champions League results have always been embarrassing. Being tough internally and weak externally, this kind of play has caused the media to talk about them a lot.

For a team, the Champions League results are more important than the league results, which is the consensus of many teams. No matter how good a team is in the league, but it is not in the Champions League, it will not be considered a giant. For this, look at Arsenal and Manchester City will have a deep understanding. However, although Arsenal's Champions League results are not good, they have entered the knockout rounds every year. Compared with them, Manchester City's results are even worse, which also makes people helpless.

All the time, Manchester City fans always tell themselves that their team always plays badly in the small vv, x. group matches, first because they always encounter strong teams, and second because their teams are weak against weak teams. The brigade is not serious enough. But now, watching them play like this against Wolfsburg. The fans are unacceptable.

It doesn't matter if they don't play well in the group stage, they still don't play well in the knockout stage. How can this be accepted by Manchester City fans? Can't beat Real Madrid, can't beat Barcelona. Until now, even Wolfsburg couldn't help but got such a good lottery, but it just couldn't win all the time. It would be too shameful to go on like this.

Your team shouldn't have played so badly, they should have won. Since one or two offenses cannot be effective, then the offense should be continued until it works.

As the game progressed, the drum noise around the court gradually increased. Fans are cheering loudly for their players, hoping they can continue to attack. Scored goals for the team.

Their shouts did not attract too much attention from the Wolfsburg players at the beginning: they didn't think that Manchester City would really maintain a strong attack.

How a team should attack must have its own ideas. Because the fans yelled twice and changed their tactics temporarily, this kind of stupid thing shouldn't be done by professional teams. Manchester City's coach Pellegrini is also a famous coach who has become famous in La Liga and has coached Real Madrid. No matter how he is, he will not be so stupid: for a team. It is very important to control the change of tempo. It is not easy for any team to maintain a fast break. Manchester City chose to attack at the beginning. This is because they have strong confidence in their own strength, but if they keep attacking, then their physical strength will be exhausted. It will be overwhelming for them.

In this regard, the Wolfsburg players are very clear. They are also waiting, the opponent's offensive is weak. After starting to shrink, wait for the opportunity to launch a counterattack. In this game, Wolfsburg played pretty well. They have done a good defensively since the opening and did not give the opponent too many opportunities. They also believe that the game will follow their wishes.

However, what the Wolfsburg players did not expect was that Pellegrini did not want to make Wolfsburg play so smoothly in this game.

With the voices of the fans, the Wolfsburg players on the field also realized that something was wrong: maybe because of the fans cheering, maybe because of Manchester City's tactical problems at home, the Manchester City players on the field cheering, also There is indeed no choice to recycle. Time is passing, but Manchester City is still on the offensive, and they still have no plans to shrink at this time.

Manchester City's choice made the fans excited. Seeing that their team did not shrink from their opponents, but chose to continue to attack, which made them all extremely excited. The fans on the scene continued to cheer and their morale grew steadily as the waves of Manchester City attacked.

On the pitch, Nasri and Silva were instigating attacks again and again. They ran and passed the football on the pitch, which greatly increased the pressure on Wolfsburg's backcourt. As time passed, Manchester City's attack did not weaken for a period of time. Wolfsburg is still suppressed in the backcourt, unable to launch a counterattack at all.

This choice of Manchester City also made Wolfsburg somewhat unexpected. Twenty minutes have passed and they are still attacking, which in itself is very abnormal. The opponent doesn't pay attention to rhythm changes so much, but it seems that blood is surging, desperate, and it is really a bit unprepared. This fast-paced attack has been maintained, the physical consumption is very terrible, and their own rhythm is also prone to problems, if they can not score, then this game, they are completely seeking a dead end.

Such an approach shouldn't be the work of a master tactician at all. Even the average coach should be very clear that this will not work. Pellegrini's approach is simply inexplicable. If such a fierce attack continues, the Manchester City players will definitely not be able to stand it.

What does he want to do this way?

The idea of ​​Manchester City, Wolfsburg is a little confused. In their view, being influenced by the fans is purely a matter of brain fever, and it shouldn't happen to a famous coach. What is the point of such an approach? In this regard, the Wolfsburg players are also very puzzled.

The opponent is definitely not a fool, so his game arrangement must have a certain intention. And what is his intention, this is also the most important thing to pay attention to as an opponent. Wolfsburg was confused about this at first, but as the game progressed, Pellegrini's tactical intentions gradually became fully revealed in front of the Wolfsburg players.

This tactic itself was beyond the expectations of Wolfsburg. Originally, Wolf Castle’s tactical plan should have survived the onslaught of the opponent at the beginning of the game, and then launched his own counterattack while the opponent shrinks and stabilizes the rhythm. But Manchester City's offense has never stopped, their counterattack cannot be launched, and their game situation is quite passive.

In this situation, the Wolfsburg players seem to have caught some problems. It seems that before Manchester City can't hold it, Wolfsburg may not be able to hold it.

Manchester City's attack has always been quite fierce, they are constantly looking for opportunities to try to break through the gate of Wolfsburg. Maybe it’s because they have been in the Champions League for too long. This time the home stadium suddenly showed off. Their fans are also inexplicably excited. The constant cheers have brought great morale to Manchester City and made Manchester City’s attack stronger. Up.

Under their constant offensive, Wolfsburg's defense is indeed somewhat precarious. Defense is a matter that needs to be handled carefully in every detail. A slight loophole may cause the defense to fail. This is especially obvious when the opponent's offensive players are of high level.

With the contraction of Wolfsburg, Manchester City had already passed the half-court. On the frontcourt, their players continued to strengthen their attacks, and in the 30th minute, they almost seized the opportunity and broke the gate.

This time, after Yaya Toure got the ball in the midfield, he chose to dribble the ball again. His fierce advancement directly attracted Gustavo’s defense, and after being targeted, he gave the ball to the ball. Silva. Silva got the ball and handed it to Nasri with ease. Just on the wing, Nasri made a direct pass back and gave the ball to Kolarov.

Wolfsburg's offense is very good, Manchester City is obviously aware of it, but they also use their skilful cooperation to constantly tear the back line. The cooperation of the four people in the frontcourt has given the defense a loophole, and at this time, it is their turn to attack the goal by their striker.

After Kolarov on the wing dribbled the ball in, he took a good opportunity on the left and took a long pass to send the ball directly to Dzeko in the penalty area.

In the penalty area, Dzeko accelerated two steps to get rid of Kayar's mark. Although he was tall, his sense of opportunity made him run quite beautifully. Throwing away the defensive player, there was another smash at his feet~www.ltnovel.com~ To get rid of Nardo’s interception, one of Wolfsburg’s lines of defense was completely freed by him in less than three seconds. Then, he took a shot and blasted the ball towards the goal!

Dzeko's shooting angle and strength are very good, if it weren't for Benalio's timely fall, Wolfsburg would also be broken by the opponent at this time. Obviously, although Manchester City's attack is a bit rampant, the effect is absolutely very good.

The Manchester City players may not be confused when they choose to attack. The bigger reason is that he is assured of his team's offensive ability. Compared with Wolfsburg, their lineup is better, and they have a good substitute, and they believe that they can break the door of Wolfsburg without waiting for their physical strength.

Compared with the regular style of play, perhaps a fierce attack is more advantageous for them. The strong team is playing the weak. If you don't make good use of the thickness of the lineup and the home court advantage, then you are sorry for yourself.

Their idea is not unreasonable. They use offense instead of defense to make full use of their home court advantage and the advantage of sufficient personnel. This is Pellegrini's tactical plan. Relying on Manchester City's better lineup depth and better home momentum, they want to completely kill Wolfsburg in this game. (To be continued...)
