"There is no doubt that Manchester City is a strong team, but this team is not good at playing tough battles."
In a communication before the game, Yang Yang told Zidane very confidently that he judged Manchester City.
Because he has seen all of Manchester City's UEFA Champions League games so far this season and Blue Moon's strong dialogue in the Premier League, Manchester City's poor record can be described as terrible.
Although many people have complained about Pellegrini's class, in fact, his class is really not wrong.
So far this season, Manchester City and the top teams in the Premier League have all played in two rounds. Apart from beating Chelsea 3-0 at home and away, they have not won even one game.
It is 1-2 away against Arsenal, 2-1 at home against Manchester United, 0-1 at home, Tottenham Hotspur is 1-4 at home and 1-2 against Leicester City. Zero to zero on the road, one to three against Liverpool at home is the worst, one to four at home, zero to three on the road.
Such strong dialogue results, can you get it?
In the Champions League, Manchester City was four wins and two losses in the group stage. The two games lost were Juventus at home and away, one to two at home and zero to one at home.
In the round of 16 against Dynamo Kiev, Manchester City were 3-1 away and 0-0 at home, while the quarter-finals against Paris Saint-Germain was 2-2 away and 1-0 at home, which made it to the semifinals of the Champions League.
Throughout all of Manchester City's games this season, it can be clearly seen that Blue Moon was almost a mess in the strong dialogue, which made Manchester City's management determined to change coaches, replacing Peleg with Guardiola Rini.
Of course, this should also be the replacement of the Manchester City management for a long time.
After Yang Yang listed many of Manchester City's matchups this season, he told Zidane his conclusion.
"In the semi-finals of the Champions League, Manchester City are already the end of the crossbow. Even I have a feeling that if it wasn't Aguero's penalty to give Manchester City a life, maybe the Blue Moon would collapse in the quarterfinals and lose to Paris Saint-Germain. "
"At least in the two rounds, Manchester City did not show convincing strength to beat Paris Saint-Germain, and they were able to beat Paris Saint-Germain, which in itself is an extraordinary play of their own strength."
"In the face of such a team, we should give our opponents a head blow and directly catch the opponent in the Bernabeu by surprise, let them mess up the position, as long as they let out their strong support, then Manchester City is the cutting board Fish meat. "
"Pellegrini is undoubtedly a very good coach. He can lead teams such as Villarreal, Malaga and Manchester City to the Champions League semi-finals. This coach is not simple, but he is naturally weak. It is also very obvious that it is impossible to fight tough battles, want to win, and fear to lose. This is terrible in a strong dialogue. "
As the so-called narrow road meets the brave win.
The head coach is the leader of a team. If the head coach is soft and timid in a strong dialogue, how can the team have combat power?
"From the UEFA Champions League knockout, no, from the group stage to play Juventus away, Pellegrini has been insisting on using the three midfield combination of Fernando, Yaya Toure and Fernandinho, the difference is , Sometimes Yaya Toure pushed forward, sometimes back to the waist position. "
"Playing Bernabeu away, Pellegrini's first consideration must be a draw. He does not want to lose. He defends with a three-waist formation. Then, like when playing Paris Saint-Germain, the frontcourt allows Aguero, Navas and Sterling tried to steal one. This is his tactic. If it does n’t work, then it will be defended until the second round or even the final penalty shootout. "
"Judging from Manchester City's match against Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus, this team's defense is very good. With a three-back configuration, there will not be too many opportunities for opponents, so we have to create more Opportunity, on the other hand, we must also strive to seize the opportunity, and the start is very important, as long as the start can score, Manchester City will be chaotic, they will not be able to hold! "
"To get a goal in the start, I need Suarez's side assistance. Whether it is Casemiro or Mascherano, this game will not be very important. Tonic Ross and Modric Enough to cope with, Azar and Di Maria on the wings, the reason why they did not go to Hames Rodriguez, because we need a wing attack. "
...
Zidane stood in front of Bernabeu's home team coach. The judgment that Yang Yang introduced to him before the game came to mind, and now it has really become a reality on the court.
Pellegrini ’s formation is indeed a three-back, he really wants to defend, and he really wants to let the trident guerrillas in the front field to fight for a goal, and Real Madrid ’s opening attack also worked. By the way, both goals were cut into the penalty area from the side.
Tonic Ross, Modric, Hazard and Di Maria helped Real Madrid firmly control the situation, the ball control rate was far ahead, and for 20 minutes after the opening, he did not even give Manchester City a direct threat to the goal. Opportunity, what an amazing achievement!
This is the Champions League semi-final!
No matter how many questions Manchester City has, he has stepped on the corpses of the strong teams all the way to the semifinals.
But this team is so fragile in front of Real Madrid.
Yang Yang guessed it again!
After conceding two goals, Real Madrid slightly slowed the offensive, but Manchester City still dared not press out.
Pellegrini's psychology was pinched by Yang Yang, and he wanted to win and was afraid of losing!
In fact, this kind of mentality has everyone, so many games, fans will feel very confused, why some teams lost the ball early, but refused to take a little risk, actively pressed out to organize and plan an offensive, but let time In vain, what will happen in the end?
The answer is simple, not because the opponents have no fighting spirit, nor because they do n’t want to score, or even because of their timid fear, but because they know that rushing to attack will only play in their defensive position There are more and bigger gaps left, and it is not a matter of losing a ball.
That's how Manchester City is now.
They dare not press out and play, even if Real Madrid has slowed down, they still stick to it, because they all know that Real Madrid is the entire European football, even the world, the best team to attack, especially their Counterattack.
The wings of Hazard and Di Maria, Yang Yang and Suarez in front, once Real Madrid gave the opportunity to fight back, can Manchester City stop it?
It's hard to resist Manchester City's offensive position with three players.
Besides, is there a chance for Manchester City to take the initiative to attack?
One of the reasons why Manchester City ’s strong dialogue this season is bad is that their offensive methods are too simple and lack of change. This makes them face the Premier League, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain. At that time, I didn't have many threatening offenses. Can I face Real Madrid?
Real Madrid said it was a strong attack and defended weak, but that is because their attack power is the best in the world, which makes the defense a little weak. Really speaking, defense, Real Madrid will never lose to any team in European football today.
Therefore, Pellegrini watched Real Madrid slow down the offensive, he did not dare to attack.
Not to mention the Chilean engineer, there is no such courage to change to any other head coach.
...
Zidane thought of this and suddenly wanted to laugh.
He remembered what Yang Yang once told him, there was a sentence in the essence of the art of warfare passed down by the Chinese ancestors, and he went to war.
In this match against Manchester City, Yang Yang gave Zidane a vivid lesson.
Almost from the beginning of the game to the subsequent halftime, to the second half, and finally to the end of the game, Manchester City did not escape Yang Yang's deduction, Pellegrini seemed to be like a chess piece on the chessboard, according to Yang Yang's route To complete the game step by step.
No surprises, no waves!
But this is also one of the most dominant games Real Madrid has played so far this season, and unlike other big wins, Real Madrid has only won two goals, but the game is not at all dangerous.
So much so that the moment the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, Zidane felt a little bored.
Is this the end?
That's how the score of two to zero was won?
He didn't really believe that his ball had won until he saw Real Madrid players walking down the court happily.
When seeing Yang Yang walk off the field and come straight to the front, Zidane reached out and grabbed his bare head, twitched, and sighed, "It's meaningless!"
Yang Yang almost fell down, is this ridiculous?
Is there such a head coach?
Winning in a stable manner, isn't it?
However, the Frenchman was joking with Yang Yang, he quickly showed a smile, embraced Yang Yang, and then walked one by one to celebrate with the Real Madrid players.
Two to zero at home, as long as the away game is not too bad, reaching the final is a high probability event.
Of course, Real Madrid cannot be careless.
In the so-called loss of Jingzhou, the face of Wolfsburg's past lessons still requires the team to be vigilant.
After Yang Yang got off the court, he gave a few words to the coach and his teammates, and then went to the visiting team.
Yaya Toure was his old teammate when he was in Ajax. The two haven't seen each other for a long time. It's more just seen through the media and the game. This time they met and the two chatted on the sidelines.
Speaking of which, the Ivorian is also unlucky. Whether in Barcelona or moving to Manchester City, he has never been able to make a breakthrough in the Champions League, which makes him regret.
This season, Manchester City finally made it to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. They thought they had a chance to break through, but they didn't expect to encounter Real Madrid.
Football games are short-term competitions, suitable for the bucket theory. Today's Manchester City is clearly not yet time.
"Unfortunately, if Zecco was not sold last summer, we still have a chance to take a dash in the last 20 minutes of this game, but now ..." Yaya Toure deeply regrets.
Zheke is a highly skilled high center, with different characteristics and role on the court. Unlike Aguero and others, it is a trick to enrich the team's offensive tactics, but it was sold to Roma last summer.
So, in many cases, it is not on the court that determines the outcome of a football match, but on the court.
