v5 Chapter 427： End of Round 1

Seeing Ivan Crewe finish the goal, Strachan couldn't help but scolded him. He had just seen the problem and was about to remind the player, but Manchester City took the opportunity to finish the goal.

Let me remind you now that Manchester City has tied the score.

If the game ends at 2: 2, then the Celtics are losing. After all, this is the home game. After going to Manchester Stadium, they have no advantage at all.

Manchester City's goal made Strachan a little flustered.

He didn't expect the opponent's goal to come so fast, even if it was a little late, he could remind the player that Manchester City's goal will not be so easy.

Strachan is not reconciled. He doesn't want the game to end at 2: 2, which means his team has lost the game.

In the current situation, the team still has a chance. As long as you can play well, don't be so eager to fight, then you can still fight back if you find a chance.

But Manchester City already had a goal, and Strachan must swallow the bitter fruit if he was not reconciled. While Manchester City celebrated the goal, he quickly called a few players and told them how to play next.

In summary, what is said is to play more stable, don't let Manchester City take the nose, don't follow the random running to grab the ball.

Strachan cannot accept the tie-breaking outcome. He still hopes that the team can score another goal and end with a leading score, which is beneficial to the Celtics talent.

————

After the game restarted, the Celtics seemed less irritable.

They slowed their pace and stopped fighting less anxiously.

This is related to the player's physical fitness. After 70 minutes of competition, the player's physical energy is almost consumed. However, under the tactical guidance, those players who can run will still try their best to grab, so Strachan reminded It also played a role, this part of the players will not blindly grab the ball, but will play more sensible.

When Manchester City kept passing in the backcourt, the Celtics became indifferent. They watched in their own half, as if they didn't care about the passage of time.

The British media analyzed and said, "2: 2 is already a result that the Celtics can accept. This score can at least retain suspense."

"Although 2: 2 is not good for them, but Manchester City haven't definitely won, and the suspense will stay at Manchester Stadium ..."

From the perspective of the British media, it is definitely considered that Manchester City are a strong team. As the Celtics side of the 'weak team', they should reasonably accept the result of the draw.

In fact, Strachan was not reconciled to a draw.

The Celtics didn't try hard to fight, it was just an illusion, they were ready to wait for Manchester City to relax their vigilance, and then take a bite.

Wan Sheng was also puzzled when he saw the Celtics play. He didn't understand why the opponent didn't fight for it. Instead, he seemed to want the game to end soon.

The score of 2: 2 is definitely unfavorable to the Celtics. They are the home team. Manchester City also took away 2 away goals and returned to Manchester Stadium. Manchester City only need a 0: 0 or 1: 1 to be eliminated The Celtics advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

The Celtics did not make sense.

Wan Sheng carefully observed the game, especially the Celtics.

Soon after the Celtics suddenly had a strong offensive, Wan Sheng knew the Celtics' plans. They were led by midfielder Tosuke Nakamura and McGeedi and wanted to fight a sudden attack. .

Manchester City had a similar play.

For example, if you use the team ’s strongest offensive formation to catch your opponent by surprise, it is equivalent to a sudden attack, but no matter what kind of sudden attack method, you must have a core to command, otherwise other players do n’t know when It's time to attack, and when to play defense decisively.

Manchester City is the core of the midfield.

The Celtics captain on the field is goalkeeper Borutz, but the goalkeeper certainly can not direct the game, so the real command can only be Toshio Nakamura or McGeedy.

As long as the player who knows that the opponent is directing the offense is easy to handle!

Wan Sheng immediately called Silva, so that when he attacked, he paid attention to the movement of the opponent's core players, and told Silva his own speculation, Silva nodded to understand, and then returned to the game.

Wansheng has great faith in Silva.

He believes that his reminder can tell Silva what to do. He returns to the bench and instead looks forward to the next wave of counterattacks.

The game continued, and Strachan found that Manchester City were still passing each other in a hurry, and the rhythm looked a little anxious.

The players in the backcourt and midfielders kept passing each other. Even after the center-back Silva returned to the center line, the Celtics didn't know whether to go up or just watch.

Manchester City is just spending time in the game, and doesn't care if it can find a chance.

Manchester City players are ‘adapted’ to play.

In many English Premier Leagues, Manchester City will also start to pass the ball continuously when gaining an absolute score advantage. One is to keep enough face for the opponent when the opponent is disarmed and surrender. Stopping the ball will not give the opponent a chance. Secondly, it can also kill the opponent's fighting spirit and keep the football in his own hands. Tactically speaking, it is also easier for him to find opportunities.

In short, Manchester City players are ‘likes’ and keep passing.

In weekday training, passing is also the most important training item in Manchester City. Each player can have defects in a single ability, but passing is absolutely not allowed. As long as Manchester City players want to play, Must have the ability to pass.

On the field, Dunn passed the ball to Silva, Silva passed back to Carlos, Carlos then transferred to Dunn, and Dunn forwarded Silva ... then the three passed 6, 7 foot ball, the appearance of a hurry, let the Celtics players look stupid.

They didn't expect that the other party would play like this!

Do we not pass the ball, do you always pass each other?

They watched.

Then I saw Manchester City's passing again and again, it didn't mean forward at all. The Celtics players watching were very anxious, as was the coach Strakan. He even complained to the fourth official that 'Manchester City deliberately delayed the game ', The fourth official rolled his eyes and could only explain patiently, "No matter what the rules, the backcourt pass will not be convicted."

A local Scottish media commentator scolded Manchester City for delaying time. "This is intentional! UEFA should prohibit passing so many footballs in the backcourt! Football games should be like basketball, with an offensive time limit!"

Of course, he said the same thing as Bai said.

After all, the Celtics are at home. With the attention of many fans in the stands, they can't always go up to grab the ball, especially when Manchester City puts on a "just don't attack", they are even more Deeply stimulated.

The young McKiddy couldn't help it. He saw Silva received the pass again and rushed forward.

McKiddi completely forgot his position as the "midfield commander". He rushed like a signal to the Celtics team. The Celtics formation moved forward as a whole. Silva has always been Was taken aback.

The moment he received the pass, Silva remembered Wan Sheng's advice, and he knew what to do.

Silva used a small change of direction to flash off McGiddy's interception. After that, he raised his hand forward and all Manchester City players were signaled.

Suddenly, Manchester City's formation also moved forward!

In the game, the two teams except the goalkeeper, each eleven players, are running in the direction of each other, as if the two armies charged each other violently.

Seeing this scene from the perspective of the auditorium, some commentators even unconsciously said, "Manchester City and the Celtics ... fighted ..."

The two teams that were separated on both sides had a direct confrontation, but the two teams were still different. The biggest difference is undoubtedly that football is controlled at the foot of Manchester City, and the Celtics' rush is more like a rampage. .

Manchester City revealed long-hidden fangs!

When Silva left McGiddy, he passed directly to the right side Ivan Crewe, Ivan Crewe pushed back Reto Ziegler, Ziegler passed the big foot to Ozil, Ecuador After Zil snatched the ball, he passed it straight to Silva.

Silva has reached the front of the penalty area, and there is only one McManus next to him. After the other Celtics players rushed out, it was too late to withdraw their defense.

Silva intends to get rid of McManus, he is still quite confident in his foot skills, but in control of the ball, he sees a white figure rushing out, almost no consideration, Silva put the ball Traversed the past.

Torres!

"Torre Torres Torres Torres—"

"Let's take a look at this ball, Torres sprints into the penalty area, single-handed opportunity! Goalkeeper Borutz rushed out, we see if the Polish goalkeeper can hold the ball ..."

"Shoot--"

With the narrator's shouts, Torres kicked the ball straight to the far corner. Even if Boruz is the ‘door god’, it is impossible to respond so fast.

The angle of the ball is very tricky, and the only thing Borutz does is to wave a conditioned reflex.

But when his arm was in position, the football had already flown by.

"The ball has scored--!"

"Torres! Torres! 2: 3! Torres helped Manchester City beat the score!"

All Manchester City fans cheered wildly.

For the first time in the audience, they finally led the home team Celtics!

————

After completing his goal, Torres ran to Silva who was assisting him. The two embraced together to celebrate the first lead in the game.

Other Manchester City players also ran over and surrounded the two.

Strachan looked at the celebrated Manchester City players, his face was a little bleak. He always felt that his Celtics were a very powerful team. The team ’s momentum can make them rampant in the league. In the Champions League, they can also help them achieve good results.

But now, he found himself too confident.

This Manchester City is definitely not a team that can win by vigor, they show the level that a Champions League top team should have-top technical ability, stable mentality, both of which his team does not have.

The opponent's goal just came to McGeedy. In comparison, he is still too young and too impulsive. As a core midfielder, this should not be the case. If it was not for him, he could n’t help but rush out , Manchester City will not get such a good opportunity.

This is the price of youth.

Thinking of this, Strachan looked at Manchester City again.

He glanced.

Even if there is no specific data, he knows that the Manchester City in front of him is definitely younger than his Celtics younger. Silva is much younger than Toshio Nakamura in midfield, Ozilby McGiddy is young and the other party is aggressive, but the other party is obviously much more mature.

"This is the difference between world-class players and ordinary players?"

Strachan thought.

But no matter what, the Celtics have fallen behind.

What struck Strachan was that he did not know what to do next when the score fell behind.

He believes that Manchester City, or the young Chinese coach, must not be satisfied with the score of 2: 3. The opponent wants to score more goals in order to lay a sufficient advantage, and then return to Manchester Stadium, the opponent can easily win.

Strachan also hopes that the Celtics can score.

Can look at the team's situation, the game has no advantage at all, technology, mentality, and even physical fitness have a gap with the opponent.

Strachan was not reconciled, but he still forced himself to calm down. After analyzing the current situation, he had to make a decision to let the team defend seriously.

In the current situation, the Celtics no longer lose the ball, it is already the best result, and then let Manchester City score a goal, the second round of the game is not necessary, you can directly admit defeat, and 2 It is over 3, and the victory and defeat can be left to the next round.

Strachan gritted his teeth and called the players on the court, telling them to defend seriously next to the end of the game, "Don't give the opponent any chance!"

He repeatedly reminded him that he had made substitutions again--replaced a forward and replaced a midfielder.

"Strakan chose a substitution and Wilson played. He is a defender, but it looks like he is going to play a midfielder, so he does a substitution ... Maybe Strakan already knows that there is nothing to score. Hope, they are going to start to die. "

"2 to 3, the Celtics fell one goal at home, and now choose to defend, almost equal to concede defeat, but the suspense will still be left to the next round of competition Choice, now they have a hard time scoring. "

Manchester City also saw the Celtics substitutions.

Wan Sheng was a bit surprised by Strakan's determination. He thought that the Celtics would launch an offensive in the last time to try to tie the score, but Strakan seemed more sensible. He chose to put on a defensive player.

He doesn't have to do anything, just let the players on the court play freely.

So in the last time, Manchester City continued to play just now, constantly passing in the backcourt, the Celtics did not step forward to grab, Manchester City found a chance to attack two waves, failed to break the Celtics defense, Kay The Celtics counterattacked without making a threat.

Time passed like this.

The Celtics ended their home game against Manchester City 2-3.

In the first round of the UEFA Champions League elimination round, being able to play 2 to 3 away is still very beneficial for Manchester City. At the end of the game, some commentators commented, "After this game, Manchester City have entered The quarterfinals of the Champions League ... "(To be continued.)
