From the tactical arrangement, Manchester City's original idea can be said to be very good. Senior high school entrance examination and defensive action, from the crazy attack to the counterattack, first adjust the momentum and then prepare to win the battle with the death guard. Such an arrangement can be said to be excellent. Pellegrini, as a brilliant coach, though he has never received what kind of achievements he has been able to achieve, has been able to consider his own rhythmic changes in the competition and overcome it by adjusting the front and back. Hand, this is not an easy way. Tactical change has never been easy. Compared with many coaches, he can make reasonable adjustments according to the advantages of Manchester City. With this, he can also be said to be the top coach.
But a lot of times, people are not as good as heaven, such as Manchester City in the Champions League can only be regarded as a young team, because of their own lack of experience, there will always be some mistakes. In this game, because of their pride, Manchester City lost the opportunity early in the game, which is the most obvious example. Originally, Pellegrini's tactics were very good, but because the Manchester City players like to die, the result is that his team should be in the back court at the last moment, waiting for their opponents to die. But now, the situation has become that they are being attacked madly and their situation is in danger. It's possible to lose at home at any time.
It is not an easy process for a team to rise from a weak team to a strong one. Capital investment, tactics polishing and experience accumulation are indispensable. City have the first two, but they don't have the third yet, which is why they still have a hard time winning.
However, to be honest, it took almost ten years for Chelsea to gain experience and finally become the champion. Manchester City may be able to play better in the future if they give some experience now. Even if it's a temporary failure, they may be able to become the top class in the future, or even surpass their rivals in the same city. These things are not impossible.
However, in such a future, the turning point is definitely not in this game. At least in this game, they still don't have any advantage. After 60 minutes of the game, Manchester City were also pressed harder and harder by Wolfsburg, and basically withdrew their own half.
This result is certain, because physically, the two teams are not at the same level. Wolfsburg is originally magate's team. In terms of physical fitness, they think they are second in Europe. No one dares to say they are first in Europe. In the league, Wolfsburg's attitude of turning a blind eye has made their league draw recently, but it has also made them accumulate more physical strength in the Champions League. Even if it is away, they are still physically superior to Manchester City at the moment. And after the physical dominance, they need to worry about the ability of the players. As long as the players are good enough, they can succeed.
The players of Wolfsburg are also trustworthy in strength. Although they don't have the reputation of Manchester City players and the value of the top five players in the world, they can still play well when the team needs them. Especially now, in the face of a physical exhaustion, basically has no ability to resist any Manchester City, they play better.
Rodriguez, who was inserted from the left side of the road, quickly passed through the midfield again. Like last time, he basically didn't encounter any obstacles. This time, unlike just now, he didn't stick to the sideline any more. Instead, after crossing the middle line, he immediately turned to the middle road.
This time with the ball forward, he chose to close to the middle. As a winger, he can do a lot of things, whether it's welting or incising, he can do well, which is one of his advantages. With the straight stoppage just done in front of the penalty area, he is also very clear that his cutting into the middle will cause more threats, because at this time, the players of Manchester City are also worried about his cutting in, and they will also focus on the defense here.
And once their defense is concentrated in the middle, then their chance is coming.
As he ran forward, Rodriguez also looked up and watched the other players move. Up the middle, Wolfsburg's two strikers are making a forward impact, at this time have been into the penalty area. And maybe it is that Wolfsburg's attack will start from the middle. In order to defend the two forwards of Wolfsburg, Richards on the side of Manchester City has moved towards the middle at this time. The two forwards of Wolfsburg are very tall. Although Demetrius has good skills, he is not tall enough. In contrast, Richards' physical fitness is among the best in the Premier League. The forward of Wolfsburg rushes forward quickly at this time, and he naturally goes back to strengthen his defense.
Of course, he dare to do so, largely because Turan on the left side of the road dawdle, has not been fast attack. Rodriguez only made progress after cutting inside, and he has already stood at a depth with him. Compared with pericic, Turan's play is far less positive, which makes Richards relax his defense.
Turan is a right footed player, playing on the left side of the road, and refused to plug in, naturally Richards will not feel too much threat. After all, Turan has always been on the right in Wolfsburg in recent years. Although he used to play more on the left, it is difficult to attract people's attention when he played in Turkey.However, such relaxation should never be allowed. His teammates, at least, are very clear about his strength. Looking at the other side to relax the mark on Turan, Rodriguez did not hesitate, he directly a foot pass, the ball knock to Turan.
He passed the ball slowly but steadily. This is a very good pass. Standing on the left side of the road, Turan didn't even stop the ball. Facing the direction of the ball, he twisted his body to adjust the angle and directly kicked the ball into the penalty area!
In the rib position of the two wings, Turan's starting pass is quite beautiful. Although he is not really a left footed player and has no skill of passing with his left foot, he still has the opportunity to turn around and adjust his angle because of his backward position and his long 45 degree cross. Even on the left side of the road, he did not have the best chance to pass on the right side, but with his own consciousness and technology, he still made up for this problem.
A pass, he kicked the ball straight into the penalty area. Turan and Rodriguez's cooperation, lets Wolfsburg tear up the Manchester City defense at once. The ball went into the penalty area and Wolfsburg's final battle horn sounded.
However, this attack, did not immediately let Wolfsburg usher in goals. On the Middle Road, facing the football coming from the left side, kompani ran back. Facing the football, he jumped up in the same position as Gao shunyao. And just after jumping up, he was in the air. He was strong and strong by himself. In the confrontation, he directly raised his arm and pushed Gao shunyao with almost insolent force, successfully blocking Gao shunyao behind him.
In terms of physical condition, Gao shunyao has never been weak. But no matter how strong the body of Asian players, in the fight against the top black stars, it is not very light. In particular, kompani's action in the confrontation was not so clean at this time. At this moment, Gao shunyao was completely pushed away by him.
Facing the flying ball, the dominant kompani headed the ball out of the penalty area. Although because of Gao shunyao's confrontation, he didn't have the best angle of power and couldn't push the ball out of the bottom line, even if he could only push to the midfield, he still resolved this attack.
Wolfsburg's attack, in the last link, was stopped by Manchester City.
Players from the Premier League will never fall behind in the confrontation. In particular, the Premier League team home battle, some of the scale of the action will not be a problem, but also let the Premier League players have the advantage. Even in the final stage, Manchester City have been beaten by Wolfsburg, but kompani is still not weak in personal confrontation.
Although there is no advantage in tactics, compared with other teams, the strength of Manchester City's back line can be regarded as excellent. With good players, Wolfsburg's attack stopped abruptly under his efforts.
However, although Wolfsburg's attack was stopped, they did not lose all the opportunities. Just in the midfield, when the football fell, the players of Manchester City immediately found out that Gustavo had rushed over and headed the ball to Turan again.
The players of Wolfsburg can plug in so easily. In the midfield position, they can deal with such a ball by heading the ball directly. Looking at this treatment, kompani on the defensive line suddenly feels helpless: Wolfsburg's plug in is so easy, even without any obstruction. It seems that the midfield of Manchester City is finished It's all lost.
Manchester City had been in the last moment, is hanging on the Harvey Garcia defense, but now it seems, under the impact of Wolfsburg, their defense is still not played much role. Wolfsburg's overall pressure has been over half-time, their midfield can even easily pass the header. Manchester City's position is not so obvious.
And anyone knows that in a football match, once the midfield is completely lost, then the defender will have to face the other side's stormy attack directly. This time I can block the other side's attack, but how many times will this attack be? How many times can you stop it? It's frightening to think about it.
This time I stopped the other side's attack, but I will only face a more ferocious attack.
