Wan Sheng didn't bother to say anything to Stolov, nor did he bother to listen to what the Bulgarian media said. [Full text reading ..]
He put all his energy into preparing for the game.
For the first UEFA Champions League coaching career, Wan Sheng attaches great importance to him. What he thinks is not how to win, but how to win beautiful, win without suspense, win perfect, for this goal, the Manchester City team two days before the game In preparation for the battle, Wansheng focused on analyzing the opponents and made targeted arrangements and training. As for fighting against Stojlov, it did not make sense for a perfect victory, and it might be self-defeating, so he did not talk about it before the game The game, instead, was prepared to fight the media.
This attitude makes the Bulgarian media even more arrogant!
In fact, when they reported on Stojlov's confidence, they still questioned Sophialevski's strength. Although Sophialevsky entered the UEFA Champions League historically, he did his best to fight after all. The qualifiers, which entered the group stage.
What about Manchester City?
Manchester City are the Premier League champions, they do not need to participate in the qualifiers, they directly enter the group stage!
The Premier League is not the first and not to mention for a moment. Just talking about the process of entering, you know that the two teams are also Champions League rookies, but in fact there is still a big gap.
Take the key high school for exams, Manchester City is like learning very well, even students who can get the first prize of the Olympiad competition, they are directly reported to the key high school, and in all the sponsored students, Manchester City are The very good one, they didn't even need to pass the exam.
Sophialevsky is different, they are trying to prepare for the exam, and then it is very difficult to enter, this is not entirely their ability to take the exam, but when the exam, they just caught up with the questions they will take. I got lucky.
This is the gap between the two teams entering the Champions League group stage.
Just looking at the process, I know that Sofia Levski's strength can't catch up with Manchester City, not to mention, in terms of real strength. There is no comparison between the two teams. Manchester City players may not have much advantage compared to other European giants, but Bisophia Levski is more than a grade. Coupled with the fact that this game was played at Manchester Stadium, how many opportunities did Sophia Levsky take away?
The Bulgarian media reported Stojlov ’s confidence before, but it also brought some hope to Bulgarian fans, and gave Sofia Levski some fighting spirit.
But now it is different.
When I saw Wan Sheng as Manchester City's head coach, he didn't talk about the game, only about preparing for the game. They also felt that Sophialevsky had a good chance.
See how much this young Chinese attaches importance to Sophialevsky. He keeps talking about preparing for the game, and he certainly is not sure about the game. Doesn't that mean that Sophialevsky has a chance?
So their analysis of the game was more biased towards Sofia Levsky, as if Sofia Levsky would surely be able to take three points from Manchester Stadium.
Perhaps only Bulgarian media that lacks knowledge of Wansheng will do so. In the English media, there is no saying that Sofia Levski will win. Even the media that is hostile to Manchester City is sensible. They very much recognize Manchester City's strength, so they will not be dizzy to say that Sophialevski will win. They at most just say, "Man City has no experience in European wars, and may not perform well in European wars."
That's all.
As for Sofia Levski? If a Bulgarian team could threaten the Premier League title, that would really be a joke!
But Bulgarian fans haven't seen much reported by the English media, so they are very optimistic about this away game, and a lot of Bulgarian fans have also come to the scene. They all flew from Bulgaria to cheer Sophialevsky.
Not only the Bulgarian media and fans were stunned, but even the coach Stojlov found that Wan Sheng didn't say much. There was a little self-confidence, so he expressed his confidence again before the game, saying that his team will definitely take three points at Manchester Stadium.
Wan Sheng is too lazy to even talk nonsense.
Since you said you want to defeat Manchester City, come on. Anyway, the game is about to start, let's see the real chapter on the game field!
This situation seems a bit strange.
As usual, Wan Sheng is always the high-profile one. He went to other teams more than once and declared high-profile to defeat his opponents. Now there are other 'weak teams' who have come to Manchester City to talk about winning. This makes many media feel very interesting.
No matter how the specific result is, the game has not started, no one can be sure, but the English media must be more biased towards Manchester City, because no matter from which analysis, they are difficult to draw the conclusion that Manchester City may lose.
The competition began in this environment of public opinion.
...
In fact, Stojlov's tactical thinking is no problem, he intends to follow the game of Reading and Manchester City.
Defensively tough, Sofia Levsky has some, and the offense is direct, so Sofia Levsky also has.
However, he did not consider other factors. At least one point is that Sofia Levski is not Reading. According to their strength, they are not necessarily better than Reading. The two teams will definitely play differently. , Just knowing how to play, may not necessarily produce the same effect.
In addition, the time to play with the Reading team is after the International Competition Day. In that game, Manchester City had many main players, such as Anelka, Morris, Ziegler, Sun Jihai, Downing, etc. did not play, Manchester City The semi-backup lineup is naturally unable to match the strength of the main lineup.
Stojlov thought too much of everything.
So the game has just begun, and Sofia Levsky's players found that it is really difficult to limit Manchester City's offensive with tough defense as coach Stolyov said.
They can't withstand Manchester City's attack in the backcourt!
In addition, Stoylov talked about the simplicity and direct offensive in the tactical explanation, but Sofialevski did not have a very good midfielder, the team was not close enough before and after, and the forward player's personal ability was limited. Their simple pass can only be intercepted by Manchester City again and again. In other words, their simple and direct attack cannot be played at all.
After a few waves of rapid offensive and defensive transitions, the football has been firmly controlled by Manchester City, and Sophia Levski can only defend himself at halftime, even the midline can't attack.
Manchester City is not in a hurry to attack. They just controlled the ball and passed it back and forth, as if it were a friendly match against Sophialevsky in the half-court, Sophialevsky had no way at all.
They have players trying to grab the ball. It turned out that a person was constantly running and could not bring a little threat to Manchester City's passing. The players who went up were like monkeys and were being played around by Manchester City players. They were very angry but there was no way.
Stojlov carefully watched the video of Manchester City's game. He noticed Manchester City ’s controlled play, and felt that as long as the defense is tough, it can limit Manchester City ’s offensive, but the video and the scene are different. Now that he has actually experienced it, he is more surprised by Manchester City ’s tacit cooperation and transmission By the way, football is at the foot of Manchester City players, and a few passes can quickly move from the right to the left, or from the backcourt to the frontcourt, and even when the front ball is not stable. They can quickly transfer the ball out and pass each other around the halftime until they find a chance, they will suddenly launch a fast-paced attack.
This kind of passing cooperation looks dazzling!
When Manchester City suddenly launched an offensive, the threat was even greater. It seemed that the car that had been running fast had increased the speed again, and that speed was really difficult for people to adapt to. Then Sofia Levsky's defense was very It is easy to miss d, and the players in front of Manchester City find a chance to complete the s goal.
Faced with this offensive, Sophialevsky had no solution at all. It didn't take long for their three fronts to be compressed into a single line, and even their defensive positions were confusing. In many cases, midfielders are standing behind the central defenders. This shows how scarce their tactical literacy is.
Not to mention the counterattack in this case, they are thankful for their ability to play half-time defense!
Then Morris used a penetrating pass to make Sofialevsky's half-time defense useless. This was a pass on the left, after Morris shook off the player who followed. Making room for the ball directly to the front of the penalty area, the football flew over the feet of two Sophia Levski players and appeared directly in front of David Silva.
This was almost an opportunity tailor-made for Silva. Silva ran over and swung his right foot instantaneously, pumping fiercely under the football!
"Boom!"
After a muffled sound, the football rushed straight out like a meteor against the turf.
"David Silva !!!" Berbat, the live commentator, shouted, and then a long roar showed the result, "goooooooooooooooooooooooal !!!!!!"
"David Silva !!! goal !!!"
"The goal is scored! The goal is scored! David Silva used a direct goal outside the penalty area to help Manchester City take the lead! 1: 0! The game only took 13 minutes and Manchester City scored!"
...
In the excitement of the various commentators, David Silva, who scored the goal, was very excited. This was Manchester City ’s first Champions League and the first Champions League game he participated in.
In such a game, it makes sense to score the first goal.
Many teammates happily came to celebrate, and they and David Silva kept on the sidelines while enjoying the cheers from Manchester City fans in the stands.
At the same time, Wan Sheng on the sidelines also clenched his fists.
The goal against Sophia Levsky is nothing, but the first ten minutes of the game, plus this goal, the first Champions League is basically equal to winning!
There will be no pressure on the team afterwards.
...
Manchester City played more smoothly after taking the lead.
But instead of rushing to score again, they wantonly control the football and strive for more time to control the ball, so as to slowly find opportunities in the periphery, as soon as they find opportunities, they will suddenly accelerate the pace and initiate a wave Threatening fast break.
This is what Manchester City is best at.
Control the ball, change the rhythm, fast break, the three together, to completely control the situation.
In order to achieve the first victory of the Champions League, Wan Sheng specially instructed the game before the game, so that after the first goal was scored, the team mainly controlled the ball. When controlling the ball, most of the time football In the midfield, the team will not press too far ahead, so that it will not give the opponent a chance, and under the control of Manchester City, football can still find a great threat when it finds an opportunity.
This kind of tactical play is the key to the attack if you want to really play well.
It is Morris and David Silva who do this job in Manchester City!
In the past, this task has always been Morris himself, but now David Silva has gradually grown up. He already has some leadership temperament. His personal skills cannot catch up with Morris, but it is also very good. In some aspects For example, in terms of technical ability, David Silva is better than Morris.
There are two benchmarks in the midfield. When they see the opportunity, they will launch an offensive slogan, and then the whole team will deliberately speed up the pass. When the speed is accelerated, all Manchester City players can feel it, they will know The team is about to attack.
The speed of passing and catching becomes faster, the opponent will be uncomfortable, and it is easier to make mistakes in running position, standing position and defense. At this time Manchester City will increase the forward pass and then look for opportunities in the frontcourt.
Stojlov hopes his team can use tough defense to limit Manchester City's offensive, but when faced with this kind of offensive, Sophialevsky players on the field only feel busy, they even want to be tough Easy: When they do this, football is not at all, and those players who have the opportunity to defend, one does not pay attention, and the football rolls to the other side, so they can only run around in the backcourt, but not too much. Multiple ways.
So Sofialevsky's confusion on defense can be imagined.
Despite their efforts to defend well, the defense in front of the door has always been very tight, but in the 31st minute, Manchester City still got a good chance to score a second goal.
This is an assist from Ivan Crewe.
The central defender Keppel Ferreira, who followed up on c, sent the ball to the goal with his head at 6 meters in front of the goal!
2: 0!
Only half an hour after the game, Manchester City have led 2: 0.
This is still a game at Manchester Stadium. Seeing this goal, everyone knows that the game has basically lost its suspense.
Kopelle Ferreira after the goal was very excited. When he came to Manchester City last year, he was a little confused about his future. Now he has become the absolute main force in Manchester City's backcourt and can be used as a central defender. It is very difficult to score goals, especially in this Champions League game, but he has done it now, a header, he can't believe it after scoring.
Ferreira was very excited to hug his teammates ~ www.novelhall.com ~ kept saying, "2: 0! My header! Haha!" Several teammates stepped forward and kept touching his short hair, he I don't care at all.
At this time, Stojlov's face on the coach's seat was very ugly. Before the game, he thought that Manchester City was not a big deal. The young Chinese only had good luck to lead Manchester City to success. French tactics against Manchester City, even if it is difficult to win the game, there is still hope for a draw, but what he did not expect is that the hope is broken so quickly.
This is just half an hour!
Half an hour has proved that the countermeasures he worked out hard and the confidence he expressed before the game have all become a joke!
The team ’s tough play, the idea is correct, but the team ’s strength ca n’t keep up, the backcourt defense is a mess, and in the face of Manchester City ’s controlled play, it is not easy for the team to grab the ball. It's hard to see football to Manchester City in half a minute.
With the game going on like this, his team really has no solution. (To be continued.)
