At halftime, Manchester City's locker room atmosphere is still pretty good.
A goal advantage in the first half was not enough to determine the outcome of the match, but it was considered to have completed the goal set before the game, so the players were very relaxed.
Wan Sheng also smiled when he walked into the dressing room.
The team has the advantage of scoring, which makes Wan Sheng happy. What gratifies him is the performance of Darren Bent. In a game, it is a big gain to let a player 'completely refocus'. After returning to his heart, Darren Bent's strength has further improved and will bring more goals to the team in the future.
Of course, that is what can be gained after the game.
For this game, a goal advantage can be considered as the goal set before the game, then you can play according to the strategy set before the game.
He doesn't have to think about how to make adjustments, he just has to follow the arrangement.
Of course, there will be a little adjustment.
After Wansheng walked into the locker room, he first praised everyone's performance. This must be done. As a head coach, he is responsible for the whole team. When they perform well, they must be praised to allow them to continue their efforts.
Of course, arrogance is a must, but the advantage of just one goal will probably not make them proud.
So Wansheng only needs to praise.
He first praised Darren Bent, "I must praise Darren, he is really doing a good job! Do you remember what I said to you before the game? I said, you have to find out who belongs to the team, Take the team's honor as your personal honor! "
"Now I have to insist on saying that, I'm sure Darren is done, that pass is great!"
Wan Sheng showed thumbs up towards Darren Bent, and others looked at Darren Bent cheerfully. The London guy seemed to be unaccustomed to being seen by everyone. He bowed his head a little shyly.
Looking at this little woman's gesture, everyone laughed.
Next, Wan Sheng praised the team's performance, "You guys have done a good job. We completed the half goal set before the game. One goal is an advantage! But in the game, one goal does not guarantee victory. Therefore, we must follow the tactics formulated before the game to ensure the greatest possible win. "
Everyone yelled ‘yes’.
Many people think of the second half of the game before the game. With a smile in my heart, I am also a little embarrassed. Manchester City is a very good offensive team in the eyes of many people. So, is it really good to play like that in the second half?
they do not know.
The only thing they know is that this is the head coach Wan Sheng's decision-making style. They just have to do it.
Finally, Wan Sheng talked about the adjustment in the second half.
Personnel. Under Anelka, Boateng goes up.
Use a player who is biased towards the backcourt and replace the team's striker. This is what I wanted before the game. At halftime, Darren Bent and Anelka must have one to end.
But before, Wan Sheng wanted to replace Darren Bent, after all, Anelka's ability is stronger. But Darren Bent performed so well in the first half, he was obviously better than Anelka, in addition. With his respect for Wansheng exceeding 100, his ability has also been comprehensively improved, and he is no weaker than Anelka. Naturally, the replaced one becomes Anelka.
Anelka was a little reluctant, he didn't want to be replaced in this competition.
But he couldn't be more reconciled, and he couldn't win.
Wan Sheng is the head coach, he is just a player. No matter how good he is, no matter how many goals he is, he can only grumble. Watching other people talk cheerfully about the game, they can only accept the fate of being replaced.

In the home team's dressing room, Manchester United coach Ferguson is explaining to the players how to play in the second half.
Manchester United's playing style will basically not change. He mainly explained that Manchester City may make adjustments. According to the situation of the first half, Ferguson feels that Manchester City may return to normal play in the second half.
It ’s almost impossible for other teams to use unused styles in the first and second half. It ’s almost impossible for other players to adapt. No matter how good the tactics are, it does n’t make sense for players to adapt. But it ’s not surprising that they appear in Manchester City. They did this in the game, and they can do very well.
Ferguson was very elusive about this.
He once tried to make the team play differently in the second half, but the result was not satisfactory. In the second half, many players seemed to sleepwalk.
Not to mention the entire team, even if a single player adjusts the position, it is difficult to adapt.
In each game, during the opening time, both sides will be in the tentative phase. This is not because they do n’t understand their opponents, but because the players on both sides have not entered the game. They need a certain amount of time to adapt, know how to run, and where to stand , Who to mark when defending, how to run to avoid defense when attacking, etc. These are all players must know, so they need to adapt.
If they suddenly change positions, they will have to adapt again.
It takes time.
But the game is only 90 minutes in total. Does it take a player to spend half of the time to adapt to the game? This is obviously impossible.
This truth can be understood by anyone who really understands football.
However, Manchester City have adopted different tactics in the first and second half, and the team can adapt well, which is very surprising.
Ferguson admires this in his heart.
He wanted to ask Wan Sheng personally how he did it. Unfortunately, the relationship between the Chinese and him was very bad, and he did not intend to repair this relationship.
But in short, Manchester City is likely to change the style of play, so you must remind players. So how will Manchester City play in the second half? It's not a surprise to return to normal play. After all, that's what they are good at, so in the second half of the game, the team's preparation work will be useful.
"Tough! Tough defense! Press hard!"
"We need the midfield, especially the control of the middle lane, two side lanes, Cristiano and Michael, you have the opportunity to make breakthroughs on the side lane, their side players are not as capable as the middle lane, this is our advantage."
"If they attack, they all have to retreat to defense. I need all of you to participate in the defense. You should have experienced the pain last season. They cooperate with the attack and are very targeted."
"........."
Ferguson kept saying that the players nodded, and they felt very sullen in the first half of the first half. They could not wait to teach the **** Manchester City players.
Looking at the players with great fighting spirit, Ferguson was also very relieved.
Even if he is one goal behind, he still believes that the team has the ability to recover. As long as the team is united from top to bottom, they will work hard for victory. Then they have no unbeatable opponents.
Manchester City?
Maybe Manchester City was not easy to deal with last season, but it is different now.
The old jazz smiled with satisfaction, he felt the game was under his control again.
————
Soon after the intermission, the two teams have stood on the field again. With the referee Boll's whistle, the second half of the game began.
Manchester City kicked off first.
Darren Bent passed the ball behind him, the football was delivered to Morris, Morris returned to Sun Jihai, and then Manchester City began to fall in the backcourt.
This is the normal play of Manchester City.
There are no surprises at Manchester United. They have long known that Manchester City will use this continuous pass to find opportunities, they know what to do, that is to step forward to give Manchester City pressure to run more and press tighter. And the defense is tougher, so Manchester City will not dare to fall in the backcourt easily.
In accordance with the established tactics, Manchester United quickly pressed up.
Manchester City seemed to be feeling the pressure. After receiving the ball, Reto Ziegler faced Carrick's pressure and drove the ball directly to the frontcourt. Morris failed to receive the ball, but he rushed out of bounds before Scholes.
Using this time, Manchester City completed the substitution adjustment and Boateng replaced Anelka.
"Manchester City chose a substitution at the opening of the second half. The French shooter was replaced and it was Boateng. He was a talented player from Hertha Berlin and joined Manchester City in the summer."
Leon Brown began to use the materials he prepared before the game to introduce Boateng, "His full name is Kevin Prince Boateng, less than 20 years old, is a Ghanaian and German dual A nationality player. He played 41 games and scored 8 goals on behalf of Germany's u-15, u-16, u-19 and -u21. Last summer, he defeated Greece 3-0 at the European U-19 Football Championship. In the u-19 game, a goal was scored 45 yards away from the center circle, and made a headline for the team to contribute to the team. This goal was impressive and was selected by the German TV sports program. The best goal of the month. "
"Boateng has not yet joined the national team. Due to his ability, he still cannot be fancyed by the German team, but the Ghana team intends to invite him to join. Before the World Cup in Germany, Boateng was called by the Ghana team, but he refused to serve Ghana. The team played. "
"Want to come to him, he prefers the stronger German team."
These introductions can also see Boateng's outstanding, under 20 years old, already known in Germany, this is not what the average young player can do, and at the same time, being able to join Manchester City by Wan Sheng's fancy proves his Strength and potential.
Now he represents Manchester City in the Derby Wars.
More media and fans don't care about Boateng's experience. For them, Boateng's achievements are not enough to watch. They want to know the significance of Manchester City's adjustment.
Replaced by Anelka and replaced by a defensive player, is this going to return to normal play?
Manchester United manager Ferguson didn't take it seriously. He had long known that Manchester City would return to normal play. Manchester City's substitutions were within his expectation. The same for Manchester United players. This substitution of Manchester City coincides with the coach's statement They are more confident in the game.
Then Manchester United continued to play in accordance with the established style of play. They quickly achieved the advantage in the "expected"-they suppressed Manchester City on the scene, making Manchester City unable to exert its strength.
The scene of the game met their expectations.
So the time afterwards will be Manchester United time?
Many players think so. Manchester United fans are very excited to see the team gain an advantage. Although they are still behind by one goal, they believe the team can tie the score.
Time just passed a little bit.
As the game progressed, Manchester United had been suppressed on the situation, but Manchester United coach Ferguson on the sidelines frowned again because the game scene was completely different from what he imagined.
Manchester United does have an advantage in the situation, but this advantage seems too big!
Manchester City is definitely not easy to deal with. This is known to everyone, but the current scene seems to be reversed from the beginning of the game. Manchester City has been passively defending, while Manchester United has launched a siege around Manchester City half.
The only difference is that Manchester City is not without a fight.
Their occasional quick counterattacks greatly threatened the Manchester United goal. One time, they almost even shot a single-pole goal, but Manchester United did not get a similar opportunity.
How is this going?
Is the game really normal?
Ferguson watched the game and fell into thought. As an experienced head coach, he soon realized he was wrong.
Manchester City has not returned to normal play, and the tactics used by Manchester City on the field are straightforward to say the simplest defensive counterattack. They did not plan to fight a half with Manchester United, but grabbed the advantage of a goal and used the most stable way to play.
Ferguson's eyes widened.
He never thought that Manchester City would fight like this!
Defensive counterattack?
Manchester City will also fight back?
Surely few people believe it, but now this Manchester City is playing like this, they do n’t do anything to control the ball, pass and catch the continuous cooperation, is to steadily defend in the backcourt, and then find opportunities Fight back quickly.
This is the most stable!
The defense is definitely the most stable. A lot of players are in the backcourt. Even if Manchester United plays well, it is difficult to have a chance ~ www.novelhall.com ~ And Manchester City can use the opportunity to carry out a quick counterattack.
Ferguson looked at the middle position.
The opponent's forwards, Darren Bent, midfielders David Silva and Downing, these three are at the forefront of the formation. All three belong to the very fast players. David Silva is also technical Very outstanding, with these three in front, Manchester United should be alert to possible counterattacks almost at any time.
If at ordinary times, the opponents play like this, Manchester United will not care too much, but now, Manchester City is holding the advantage of a goal! It doesn't matter if you strike back or score goals, as long as you keep the goal, the final victory belongs to them!
Ferguson couldn't help but gritted his teeth and looked at the Manchester City coach seat.
The young Chinese was sitting steadily, smiling and talking with the assistant coach next to him. At first glance, it looked like the winning ticket was holding, but it made the old jazz helpless.
"Can this guy be more shameless?" (To be continued.)
