Chapter 474

Manchester City's adjustment after half-time can be said to surprise all the Wolfsburg players. In this game, Manchester City's outstanding toughness and strength make it hard for Wolfsburg players to believe that this team is the disgrace of the Champions League in the Premier League, which was often kicked out of the north in the group stage. After the half-time game, they did not lose their fighting capacity because they were behind. On the contrary, they made excellent adjustments to further enhance their strength. This kind of play can be said to be quite unexpected.

However, although Manchester City's lineup has been stable, and after adjusting the offensive in the second half, the offensive ability is still quite good. But with the game going on, ten minutes later, Manchester City still didn't get a good chance. Wolfsburg, who was gradually suppressed by Manchester City, also gradually understood something: maybe Manchester City didn't play well in the Champions League, not by accident, but for internal reasons.

After half-time confrontation, Wolfsburg also saw the problem of Manchester City: the biggest problem of this team is not that they are mercenaries, they are upstarts, and their mentality is not good: in terms of thinking, Manchester City has a certain problem, but if all the problems of poor football are attributed to mercenaries, the players will not play well, or will the giants have no sense of honor That's the stupidest thing to do. City's problem is obviously not here.

The mercenaries don't necessarily play well. Wolfsburg themselves are the most mercenary teams. They also play very well. It's ridiculous that the rich don't have a sense of honor. In recent years, Chelsea have never been a rich team to a rich team. They have also proved to the outside world that the identity of the rich is not as important as people think.

The sense of honor does have an impact on the team, but it only makes the team appear inadequate in the strong strong dialogue. It's not a matter of honor that a strong team can't win against a weaker team. In recent years, Manchester City's group stage qualification has become a problem frequently, which is obviously not a matter of honor, but a fundamental problem in tactics.

There is something wrong with Manchester City's tactical thinking - it may seem ridiculous. As the most expensive team in the world, the team with players in the top five in the world can buy any player and dig any player. How can there be a problem in tactics? Over the years, Manchester City has spent countless money on team building. How can there be such a problem? And even if there is a problem in one or two years, Manchester City has changed three coaches and the League results are not bad. How can there be a problem all the time?

There is a certain reason for such a query, but sometimes people tend to ignore one problem: Manchester City's lineup has indeed spent a lot of money to build, and they have indeed changed a few coaches and won some honors. However, it is often overlooked that when Manchester City build the team, the purpose is not only for the Champions League, but also for the league. Apart from the Champions League, they pay more attention to the results of the league. Whether they are looking for coaches or changing tactics, they always attach great importance to the league, which is the key to the problem.

As we all know, there is a big difference between the British style football and the mainland style football, and sometimes some people make fun of it. When the strong teams of the mainland style arrive in England, there will be no one to be injured in half a season. This may be nonsense, but it reveals at least one truth. Playing in England is different from playing in the mainland. If we spend more money on the League when we set up a team, then the team's fighting capacity in the Champions League will not be very good.

In order to fight against Manchester United and win more titles in the league, Manchester City also put their overall thinking closer to English style football when building the team. For midfield confrontation, flank raids, tall guards to defend the header, they made great efforts. These efforts, although they from the lineup, can be said to be the top team, but from the tactical details, but still British style. It's nothing new that England's style doesn't play out in the Champions League.

After the formation of Chelsea in those years, many people focused on how much they spent, how many people they dug, how many games they won, and how many guns he fired. But few people noticed that at that time, in addition to a strong team, there were advanced tactical ideas and concepts that had to be brought to England by Jose. Under the influence of his Chelsea, the top teams in the Premier League have made changes one after another, and then there was the golden age of the Premier League. And such a change, Manchester City did not do, compared to Chelsea, they are not reformers, but chose to compromise with British football.

If they compromise with England, they will be abandoned by the Champions League. Such tactics are not the tactics of playing in the Champions League. They lack the ability of local penetration and small-scale blasting. When other strong teams put the core of team building on the front line, they have to rely on a back waist to build the team. This idea itself is behind the times.

It is because of the overall backward thinking, so even if the strength is obviously better than the opponent, but in the game, they are still very difficult to win. Want to understand this, Wolfsburg's players are also a sigh of relief.

However, at this moment, the players of Wolfsburg still forget a very important thing: maybe there is something wrong with Manchester City's tactics, but sometimes the coaches' ability of partial adjustment and the personal ability of the stars can change the problem.City's lack of penetration doesn't mean their players can't do something amazing. When the time to nearly 60 minutes, Manchester City's attack, and finally revealed their edge.

In this attack, it was Navas who passed the ball to Dzeko. In the penalty area, instead of heading, Dzeko stopped the ball with one foot, then sped up with a quick flick and dodged keyar's mark. In front of him, naldo immediately meets, two guards want to rely on the joint defense to stop Dzeko. However, at this time, Dzeko's choice is to knock the ball to the back.

The football passed from the foot of Dzeko to the back. In the penalty area, Dzeko with a beautiful heel knock pass, gave his chance to his teammates. Behind him, Silva has quickly covered up, he has now inserted the penalty area, running towards the front left, looking for his own opportunities.

He has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. From the second half, he has been looking forward to his team's attack. Throughout the game, Manchester City has been highlighting the role of Dzeko through the two flanks of the bottom pass, through the two back active to make Wolfsburg's back ahead of time, against them. Under such tactics, Silva's role has been deliberately ignored. Throughout the game, he basically did nothing except to touch the ball when the team needed to control the rhythm.

However, there is no reason for him to do so. Because the whole game has not been too much play, Wolfsburg side also relaxed his watch. In the view of Wolfsburg players, Silva is an organization expert, but Manchester City do not need Aguero and others now, his organization technology is difficult to play out the standard, and he is not too concerned. Silva's passing technique is very good, but compared with the ground cooperation, Manchester City is obviously more inclined to air attack in this game, and he is also difficult to play a role on the court.

There are not many mistakes in the thinking of Wolfsburg players. But they have overlooked a very important thing. Silva may not be a shooting expert. Compared with Lampard's back row player, his skill in this aspect is really ordinary. However, even so, when he enters the penalty area with the ball, he is still full of threats.

In the whole game, because of the coach's arrangement, he has endured so far, and now he finally has the chance to break out.

In the penalty area, Silva has got the football, and at this moment, Wolfsburg's defender has been moved away by Dzeko's running position. In front of the goal, Silva's eyes, is an obvious defensive loophole, and he did not hesitate, a shot, kicked the ball out!

In front of the goal, Wolfsburg's defenders are aware of their mistakes. Naldo stretched out his foot to block the ball, and benalio went straight out to put the ball in his arms. However, Silva shot out of the ball, it is not so easy to intercept. The football crossed a curve, higher than the height of naldo's foot, more remote than benalio thought, and went into the goal.

This goal was not stopped again. When the 59th minute of the game came, city finally scored at home.

Around the whole stadium, there were huge cheers, 60 minutes of fierce fighting, Manchester City's repeated attacks, and finally achieved results at this time. In the second half, Manchester City finally let the fans see what a strong team should look like. The score became 1-1. In the Champions League, Manchester City equalled their opponents from the backward situation. What else could make the fans happy?

Maybe in the first half, they did make mistakes. But as long as they can find their form and stop making the mistakes they made, the fans will still cheer for them. The fans are very satisfied with this team from the bottom of the group match of the Champions League to the draw in the last 16 matches. They will still offer their best wishes to them.

Of course, this is still not the best situation they want. 1-1 is good, but it's a draw, not a lead. When the fans cheer for their team, in the bottom of their hearts, they are also looking forward to this goal, which can soon become a real victory.

It doesn't look difficult, there are 30 minutes left in the game, there is still time, it seems that everything is possible.
