Chapter 468

Before the official start of the Champions League, if the players of Wolfsburg regard victory as their ultimate pursuit from top to bottom before the match between Manchester City and Wolfsburg, then the players of Manchester City seem to pursue more. Before the game against Wolfsburg, the British media had been building momentum for Manchester City for a long time. A lot of media are boasting before the game that this is a year for Manchester City. Manchester United and Chelsea are rebuilt. Liverpool and Arsenal are not worried. This year's Manchester City is destined to rise. In the view of the media, Manchester City will achieve a huge harvest this year. In the Champions League, Manchester City must have a breakthrough. In the face of Wolfsburg, Manchester City should not consider whether to win or not, but how many to win.

Maybe as a team that has repeatedly lost in the Champions League in recent years, Manchester City decided from the beginning that they must be the winning side, and before the game, they were thinking about how many wins they would be qualified, which was a little too careless. But Manchester City never thought it was a mistake. In their opinion, they met Wolfsburg Victory is a must. What kind of opponent is such a team that I haven't heard of?

In the eyes of Manchester City, Wolfsburg is never the opponent they should pay attention to. Although this team played against Arsenal last year and Manchester United this year, it is still good, but in the eyes of Manchester City, this year's Manchester United is a joke, and Arsenal can only be regarded as their own youth training team all the time. It is not necessary to defeat them It means strong strength. Especially, it's just a group game. Who will do their best in the group game? When it comes to the Champions League knockout, how can they compare with themselves?

Although strictly speaking, Manchester City have never played in the Champions League knockout, they are confident that their players will play well in the knockout. When they heard that their opponent is Wolfsburg, the top and bottom of Manchester City's consideration, in addition to the question of who the opponent will be in the next round, they think more about, that is, how to play against Wolfsburg in order to make people more satisfied.

In this regard, city's team up and down, can be said to have early ideas.

It goes without saying that the best way for a team to show its strength is to attack. Mercurial attack, let a person at a loss to cooperate, the opponent completely suppressed in the backcourt tactics, and finally accompanied by a beautiful big score: in the view of Manchester City, facing a weak team, if you can play a completely dominant level at home, then after a game, people can know who is the real boss. From the beginning of the game, Manchester City has set the tone of the game, from the beginning, they are ready to use attack to completely beat Wolfsburg.

And that's what they do in the game. Not long after the start of the game, city's attack started from Kolarov.

As the left back of Manchester City, Kolarov has always been a player with obvious characteristics. The defensive ability of this player is relatively insufficient. As a full back, his defensive ability is still at the level of omission. However, the player has a good player and a good pass, which also enables him to shoulder a very important offensive task on the court. As a starting point of attack, he can be said to be the most appropriate. On the pitch, when Wolfsburg's players were frustrated at the beginning and retreated a little, Kolarov also keenly grasped the opportunity, and his attack also followed the trend.

Standing at the back of the court, Kolarov directly chose a long pass. As a winger, Kolarov's speed is not particularly advantageous. He knew that even if he inserted it quickly, he might not be able to have a good influence. In contrast, his long pass level can be said to be quite excellent. This long pass from the back court directly sent the ball to the midfield.

Yaya Toure in midfield has understood his idea since he passed the ball. In midfield, he can plug in quickly. When the football came to the front, Yaya Toure had already run to the position of the landing point. He leaned over his shoulder to unload the ball at once, and then immediately made a diagonal pass to the foot of Nasri on the wing, completing an attack.

Manchester City's attack, the effect is obviously quite good. Kolarov direct long pass, Yaya Toure a foot cross, directly to the ball near the penalty area. And in this position, Nasri has got the football, their attack, almost on the last pass.

With such an attack, any team can be proud. Unfortunately, Manchester City's attack is still a little too anxious. When the football reached the side, Nasri got the ball at his feet, but before he could run, Rong had already wrapped himself up.

If Manchester City prepared for the battle with Wolfsburg before the game, they would know that Wolfsburg used to defend well even against top teams such as Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. Wolfsburg's players had to retreat after the opening because of Manchester City's excellent skills, but this retreat does not mean that they have lost all their fighting ability. On the contrary, it is also one of Wolfsburg's common tactics to stabilize the front and start to shrink the defense.Wolfsburg never repel defensive counterattack, on the contrary, they play against a strong team so many times. In the face of such a defense, if Manchester City had a detailed idea of the attack, it might break the opponent's defense, but such a scribble attack, it is extremely difficult to succeed.

Nasri encountered such a problem on the side. In the face of Rong's defense, he buckled the ball twice, trying to get rid of it, but it didn't seem to work at all. Rong's defense is like brown candy. He sticks to it tightly and refuses to relax. It's not so easy to find a pass in front of him.

For Manchester City's fast straight forward forward, Wolfsburg really did not be able to intercept.

But in the defense near the penalty area, they did a good job. Nasri also noticed that in the penalty area, the two defenders of the other side had surrounded Dzeko. Even if he got rid of his opponent, this pass would not work.

Seeing this, Nasri is also horizontal heart, he took the ball to the middle of a foot cross trip, directly rushed past. Since the pass is not good, then rely on their own breakthrough to the middle to disturb the opponent's defense, this may have a certain effect.

Nasri sped up at his feet and ran towards the Middle Road, but the face behind him did not let him go, but still followed him closely. In the midfield, Wolfsburg's two defenders quickly forward, in the front of the penalty area, and become a solid wall, the midfield above Gustavo, also at this time together back, four people together, against Nasri to form a pinch situation.

Such a tight defense makes Nasri helpless for a moment: technically speaking, Nasri is not a player who likes to break through and go inside. When he plays like this, he seldom forms a tacit cooperation with his teammates. In Manchester City's tactics, he is more active on the side, and after the inside cut, he prefers to directly hit the goal, or a simple kick to end the game, but this game, Wolfsburg is obviously aimed at his characteristics, neither let him from the wing pass, nor give him the chance to cut the door, this is ready to stifle him alive.

This kind of play is really targeted. Although Nasri now knows very well that the most important thing he should do is to seek cooperation with Dzeko in the penalty area and let him find a chance to shoot, under the siege at this time, he has no ability to find Dzeko. Not everyone can play well in the restricted area, especially the single forward tactics of Manchester City now make it very difficult for Nasri to seek cooperation, so that he can not find opportunities at all.

In the face of the coming game, the team who has prepared carefully can make a lot of targeted arrangements, which can make the weak win over the strong, which is the truth that has been verified in many games.

However, even so, Nasri has not been blocked. He was surrounded by four people. He could only make a sudden effort under his feet and speed up his pace again. He forcibly exceeded the defensive range of naldo and keyar and ran from the left to the right. Then, when the defense didn't catch up, he suddenly turned around to shoot and kicked the ball out!

Even if it was a four man siege, he still killed a way out, but the problem is that after the breakthrough of this shot, the angle can only be said to be very poor. Nasri's shooting is not bad, but it's not so good that there's no problem with any tricky angle. This shot was shot in a hurry, and the angle was a little too right. Benalio jumped into his arms directly.

With the sighs of the fans, Manchester City's attack was blocked by Wolfsburg. Nasri with a look of regret, in fact, also know that even if the ball is not completely held, Manchester City is no hope of a second attack. Because his inside cut runs too far, Manchester City's attack line has been in a mess. Dzeko is blocked by him and can't get in at all. Even if the ball is sold, Manchester City have no chance.

Their tactics, from the beginning, wanted to completely disrupt Manchester City's attack. And they did it very well.

Manchester City's attack is very good, but in front of Wolfsburg, they seem to have hit a wall. I'm afraid it's not so easy to tell who wins and who loses this game.
