Step by Step to Win

If anyone perceives the lack of physical strength of the Manchester City players faster than the Manchester City players, then the Wolfsburg players standing on the court are definitely one of them. For a long time, the players of Wolfsburg have regarded the possible physical problems of Manchester City as one of their biggest advantages, and their understanding of this may still be better than that of Manchester City. On the court, when the opponents began to show fatigue, they may not have realized it, but the players of Wolfsburg have seized the opportunity keenly.

Regarding how much physical strength the Manchester City players have left, they have been calculating this question from before the start of the game, even when the UEFA Champions League draw just ended, and as the game progressed, watching the raging Manchester City players, the Wolves The Fort players have been waiting for this. After halftime, Manchester City's offense began to slow down, and after 60 minutes, Manchester City's offense was no longer fierce. In this regard, the Manchester City players, perhaps because of their high morale, have not realized it for the time being, but the Wolfsburg players have already sniffed it out very sensitively.

The opponents started to become slower and weaker, and their offense was not as aggressive as it was at the beginning of the game. Obviously they just scored a goal, but they still can't add a better attack. This is the most obvious evidence that their stamina is exhausted. This is what Wolfsburg has been waiting for for a long time, and naturally they will not let this opportunity go.

Now, it's finally time for Wolfsburg to fight back.

Just after Manchester City scored five points, x. Zhong, a surprise attack by Wolfsburg also came suddenly. After getting the ball once, the Wolfsburg players did not shrink for defense, but launched a quick counterattack. Just after the football was kicked to Rodriguez on the left by Kjaer. He quickly rushed forward with the ball.

60 minutes of the game, because the opponent's offensive momentum has been very strong. Wolfsburg's backcourt players basically have no chance to participate in the offense. Rodriguez held back a full 60 minutes in the backcourt, and was always played around by Navas. It also accumulated a lot of resentment. At this time, facing Manchester City, who had lost his strength, he vented all his grievances. He didn't know if his choice was correct, or if the opponent really had no physical strength, but what he knew was that compared to just now, he quickly plugged in from the side and received significantly less resistance.

Navas now seems unable to participate in defense. This made him rely on his own speed to rush through Manchester City's half in a blink of an eye. Looking at him, Toure is coming to make up the spot. Rodriguez didn't hesitate to kick the ball and give the ball to Perisic, who was on the wing, directly in front of him.

There, it seemed that Richards' defense was also a step slower. And more importantly, Toure's fill. Makes an empty space behind him.

After a pass, Rodriguez did not lose speed and changed his direction towards the center. Continue to rush forward. On the sidewalk, Perisic did not hesitate. After receiving a through ball, he immediately returned the ball to Rodriguez's feet. In just a few seconds, the two people completed the transition. Relying on an excellent cooperation on the wing, they got rid of Manchester City's defensive line very well. Successfully broke through to the midfield.

Compared to just now, Manchester City's speed has indeed weakened. Seeing Touré, who was not so timely to make up defense, Rodriguez also understood something. Speed ​​is the biggest advantage of Wolfsburg at this moment, and he must not waste it.

It was another pass. Rodriguez passed the ball just under his feet to Gao Shunyao in front of him. He continued to sprint without reducing his speed. And after reading what he meant, after receiving the football, Gao Shunyao immediately passed it back and let him get the ball again. The first time he cooperated, Rodriguez rushed to the middle, and this time, he rushed directly to the front of the penalty area, to the best position.

At this moment, Manchester City's defense line has not yet closed, relying on two cooperation, Wolfsburg's counterattack quickly rushed to the front of the penalty area.

This time, Rodriguez did a pretty good job, and he immediately passed the ball to the penalty area. Mandzukic, who was standing in the penalty area, quickly got in at this time, and his teammate sent a wonderful pass again, which made him extremely happy. In the penalty area, he suddenly accelerated after receiving the ball and threw it away. After Demichelis, a beautiful shot from the corner was kicked out in an instant.

Mandzukic's shot is very beautiful, but in front of the goal, Joe Hart once again showed his outstanding skill. He suddenly fell to the ground one by one, and his hard-stretched hand blocked the front of the football. Just at the very moment, his block once again saved Manchester City's gate!

Joe Hart saved the team again, but it is undeniable that Manchester City has become worse than just now. In the first half of the game, they were almost out of breath for the Wolfsburg they pressed, but now, Rodriguez can kill half-time assists. With this change, anyone can understand that Manchester City is really tired now. .

In this game, Manchester City still failed to seize the advantage before their stamina was exhausted. Therefore, they still have to pay enough tuition for their UEFA Champions League.

Of course, in the face of the predicament, Manchester City will naturally not sit still. At this time, they have also started personnel adjustments. Since the players on the field can no longer cope with fierce confrontations, relying on their own sufficiently thick lineup to defeat their opponents is originally one of Manchester City's tactics. Soon, Manchester City carried out a staff replacement. Nasri was replaced by Milner, and Garcia also replaced Yaya Toure at this time. In the face of an unfavorable situation, they immediately made adjustments.

Obviously, Pellegrini had already had his own arrangements for tactics. This kind of substitution, I'm afraid he had already thought about it a long time ago: his two substitutions were very targeted. On the one hand, replacing an offensive all-around midfielder Yaya Toure with a defensive midfielder, Harvey Garcia, can make his team have better defensive capabilities. On the other hand, use an English-style midfielder. Midfielder Milner replaced Nasri, which is tantamount to giving the team more running ability in the frontcourt. When the physical strength of the players in Manchester City generally declined and their running ability was lost, the replacement of these two people obviously just strengthened the team's defensive ability.

On the other hand, Kolarov, who is still on the court at this time, can be said to be a very important part of Manchester City. In this game, Manchester City deliberately launched more attacks here, and it also mobilized his offensive participation very well. Now that the frontcourt players have been adjusted and replaced, Manchester City’s offense has changed from the crazy pressure on the offense just now, to a defensive counterattack that retreats to the half court. In this tactic, Coralo The role of the husband has also become more prominent.

The first half relied on the full offense to seize the opportunity, the second half relied on substitutions to strengthen the defense, while relying on Kolarov to maintain a certain offensive ability to deter opponents here, Pellegrini's all tactical design, Wolf Castle The players know it too.

His tactics are indeed well arranged, but the situation on the court seems to be different from what he thought. Because of Manchester City's tactical execution ability, they did score a goal and stamina was indeed exhausted, but at this moment, their score did not have the advantage, and it was still 11 draws. With such a score, choosing to take a defensive position is not a smart way.

By doing this, he is tantamount to inspiring Wolfsburg, and even telling them plainly that Manchester City has no offensive ability now, and in the rest of the time, Wolfsburg will attack. If it is a 10 lead, this might make Wolf Castle impetuous, frequent attacks and even make mistakes, but now the score is 11, then things are quite different.

The Wolfsburg players do not need to be eager for success now, so they do not need to rush into a frenzy attack. On the contrary, they can launch attacks slowly and slowly kill Manchester City. Although Manchester City's defense is also very good, it is still very unwise to give the offensive power to opponents who are not disadvantaged.

Pellegrini hadn't thought of such a thing, but even if he thought of it, he couldn't help it: How many people and teams can have enough confidence to leave the team with the opportunity to make mistakes? No matter how good the coach is, there is nothing he can do about the team's mistakes.

It is precisely because of this ~www.ltnovel.com~ When Manchester City really made a mistake, they also had to accept their hapless fate.

With the substitution of Manchester City, the Wolfsburg side also carried out a player replacement. This time, Perisic was replaced by Wolfsburg, and they replaced Moussa Sissoko to play. After he played, he was directly placed on the right side by Wolfsburg, Turan moved to the left side and continued to attack, while he was on the right side and was responsible for dealing with Kolarov.

Since Manchester City wanted Kolarov to be the starting point for the offense, Wolfsburg would have to abolish him as soon as possible. When Moussa Sissoko was an offensive player, some offenses were very brainless. It can even be said that a wing of the team basically died as soon as he came on the field. There is nothing to expect, but he is strong. The body is enough to ensure that he can make Kolarov misfire, and in this way, Manchester City's attack has also collapsed.

And after their offense was over, Wolfsburg has nothing to worry about. Facing a team that consumes a lot of physical strength and has no ability to counterattack, there is no reason for Wolfsburg to worry more. In the past 60 minutes, Manchester City has been pressing them to play. Although the players of Wolfsburg have counterattacked, they are not enough to vent their anger. Now, it is the time for them to exhale. (To be continued...)
