In the visiting locker room at Manchester Stadium, head coach Roy Keane is also mobilizing the team. He uses media reports to inspire players' fighting spirit.
"Look what they say, it's as if we have lost, but the game has not started yet!"
"They have forgotten us and we have been ignored. No one has put us in the eye. Perhaps, even our opponent, Manchester City, is like this."
"Indeed, Manchester City are very good. They have won the Premier League for two consecutive seasons. Last season they won the league undefeated. What a great result! Now they are also the top of the league. Unbeaten round record, and we are just a newly promoted team, seen by the media as 'almost certainly relegated team' ... "
"But! We should not think so!"
"We have been working hard to get better results. The strength of the opponent is not the reason for us to give up the game! I hope you can let those people see this game. We are not necessarily a loser, or even a relegated team. It ’s not even a stepping stone for opponents ’unbeaten record!"
What Roy Keane said is very useful.
When the game was about to start, we could see that every Sunderland player was full of fighting spirit, and they held their enthusiasm to play well in the game.
However, when the game started, Sunderland players found that it was not so easy to do what coach Roy Keane said.
Roy Keane's goal is to prove the team's strength.
Even if the game is lost in the end, it must be proved that the team is not ‘definitely losing’ or ‘definitely relegating’, but this is how Sunderland players feel on the court.
They took part in the competition with full of blood and high fighting spirit. They originally wanted to open the head for Manchester City, so they invested 100% of the energy in the opening. They were very active in the running, constantly looking for opportunities. Last ball, let everyone see their abilities.
But ... it ’s useless to think about it. I don't even see the effect of trying hard ...
Manchester City players are not standing there, waiting to watch them perform.
Sunderland's offense failed to fight several times, they kept fighting, and it was difficult to grab the ball from the foot of Manchester City. Instead, Manchester City played a tough offensive, threatening their goal time and time again.
Sunderland players found that if they tried hard, they couldn't see the desired effect.
Football is controlled by Manchester City most of the time, and the pace of the game is also at the foot of Manchester City. Manchester City controls the game as fast as possible and slow as slow as possible. Sunderland can only passively follow the rhythm ... to defend.
If you do not accept this kind of game situation, you must accept it!
Manchester City players firmly remember Wan Sheng ’s instructions and must deal with the game calmly. After they get the ball, they continue to pass the ball to achieve the purpose of controlling the game rhythm. Any chance for Lan is to achieve the purpose of suppressing opponents with absolute strength advantage.
Facing the calm play of Manchester City. Sunderland has no solution at all.
They tried their best to run and grab, but even if they can occasionally grab the ball, it is difficult to grab the ball in the face of Manchester City's strict defense. However, most of the time, it is difficult for them to grab the ball. As a result, they can only shrink the defense. Keep the goal.
Sunderland players are not reconciled.
They hope to achieve the desired effect, but after a while, they can only watch breathlessly as Manchester City continues to do a repressive attack.
Many players are tired.
They found that there was no good way to take Manchester City, when football was at the foot of Manchester City. They struggled hard to get it.
Manchester City have not scored yet, and Sunderland players have already felt the difficulty of the game.
Their fighting spirit is being worn away a little bit.
Before the start of the game, they still have a firm will, but they can be lost over time. The decline in physical fitness, their will is disintegrated a little bit, especially after losing again and again, when Manchester City control the ball, they do not even go up to grab the ball, because they think it is a waste of physical energy.
then. Manchester City has full control of the game.
Wan Sheng was sitting on the coach's bench with his right foot on his left leg, trembling with his toes, relaxed and contented.
He was not worried about the game at all.
Now the game has entered the track of Manchester City, the rhythm is in the hands of Manchester City, most of the time, football is controlled at the foot of Manchester City, Sunderland is not even actively fighting, so for Manchester City, scoring is only a matter of time .
Sunderland coach Roy Keane stood on the sidelines.
He was very anxious.
He is very clear that the team's strength is incomparable to Manchester City, and it is an away game. If the players lose their fighting spirit on the field, what suspense can there be in the game?
Before the game, Keen motivated the players in order to give everyone a high fighting spirit. This is the only bargaining chip they can fight with Manchester City. Even if the fighting spirit is gone, they lose all their chips and the game There is no way to fight.
Roy Keane was anxious, but he didn't know what to do.
At this time he could not help looking at the Chinese on the other side.
While playing for Manchester United, Keane had played against Derbyshire led by Wan Sheng. At that time, he only felt that Wan Sheng had good luck. Of course, he can lead a newly promoted horse to achieve such a result. The ability to lead the team is also worthy of recognition. But Keane doesn't recognize Wan Sheng because he believes that he can become the head coach and lead the team to achieve good results.
Now want to come, that is really arrogant!
After coaching Sunderland, Roy Keane encountered a series of problems. At this time, he realized how difficult it is to be a head coach. Therefore, he also forgiven Ferguson, the former mentor. Perhaps Ferguson was also for the whole The development of the team is in conflict with him. After all, he constantly criticizes the team, criticizes the performance of several newcomers, and the team stars C-Ronaldo, Rooney, Alan Smith and others are not very good.
Now Keane admires Wan Sheng very much. He knows how difficult it is to achieve such achievements. As the media said, it really needs to be described as a “miracle”.
But in the face of Manchester City, Keane also hopes that the team he leads can at least play, let those who underestimate Sunderland know that his team is not easy to beat.
This goal does not sound difficult, but facing Manchester City is very difficult!
Keane has inspired the team's fighting spirit, but facing Manchester City with a calm play, even a team with a fighting spirit seems to have no way.
The only thing Keane can do at this time is to stand on the sidelines and remind players on the court, "The score is still 0: 0, we are not even behind, we have to continue to work hard!"
But his shouts had no effect at all!
His team, Sunderland, is still very passive. The players' aggressive fights are not rewarded, and the team as a whole is suppressed.
Manchester City played too stable!
From the first minute of the game to the present, Sunderland has only one shot, or a long shot from the periphery, which makes it difficult for them to find confidence in the offense. At the same time, Manchester City has 5 shots, even if there is no goal, but In addition, football is at the foot of Manchester City most of the time, which is enough to fight the morale of opponents.
Although there was no goal, Manchester City still played very stable.
Perhaps it was a pre-match reminder, or maybe the players on the court saw the opponent's restlessness. Manchester City players were not in a hurry. Sunderland had no way to play the game.
In this repressive situation, Manchester City finally got a harvest.
This was a stable offensive launched by Manchester City before the end of the first half. They have made 17 consecutive kicks in the Sunderland half. In the uninterrupted cooperation of Manchester City, Sunderland's defense line completely collapsed. Some players do not even know how to run the defense.
David Silva saw the opportunity. He used a straight foot and completely penetrated Sunderland's defense.
Torres ran out of space and pushed the goal in place.
"1: 0! Manchester City has taken the lead!"
Although there was only one goal in the first half, Manchester City ’s ‘stable’ was seen by everyone. Manchester City players also felt very relaxed. The entire first half of the game was under their control.
Wan Sheng praised the performance of the players, allowing them to continue to play like this in the second half.
Looking back at the visiting team's locker room, Sunderland's atmosphere is heavy. Roy Keane knows that there must be no chance. He can only encourage the morale of the team and hope that the players will perform better. In the second half, I have to fight for it.
At the beginning of the second half, Keane also made a substitution adjustment-replacing a defender with a forward.
This is obviously to strengthen the offense.
Roy Keane is not willing to lose. He hopes the team can at least show something. This intangible fighting spirit or cohesion will be very helpful for the team's performance throughout the season.
But the second half of the game proved that in front of Manchester City, it was not easy to show anything.
Facing Manchester City's calm play ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Sunderland has no way to do it.
Sunderland's fighting spirit only persisted for ten minutes, and was defeated by Manchester City's goal. This time it was Lescott. He came off the bench for only 5 minutes and shot a strong long shot outside the penalty area to help the ball. The team opened the score gap.
2: 0!
"Joeleon Lescott! He just came off the bench and got a good chance! The score became 2: 0, Manchester City led by two goals and there was no suspense in the game!"
Manchester Stadium broadcast Berbat said excitedly.
As Berbat said, after Lescott scored the goal, there was no suspense in the game. Before the end, Morris helped the team score a goal and changed the score to 3: 0.
Manchester City also won the final 3: 0.
