"Manchester Sports News" published a report analyzing the prospects of the four Premier League teams in the Champions League. * w.suimeng.lā
Talking about Manchester City, the report said to Morris, "... he was the core of Manchester City, but he hasn't performed well since he was injured. Wan Sheng gave him the opportunity to play the entire game twice, but But there was no return in return. Obviously, Wan Sheng has lost confidence in Morris and played against Birmingham. Only ten minutes of playing time is proof. "
"Wansheng has given up using the game to let Morris adapt as soon as possible. He only gave Morris ten minutes, but until the end of the game, Morris still failed to seize the opportunity ..."
The accompanying picture of this report is a picture of Morris' "sadness" ending at the end of the game, making the report very real and sad.
At the same time, many other media also analyzed that Morris was in a bad state after the comeback, and asserted, "... In this state, it is difficult for Morris to get playing time in the match between Manchester City and AC Milan."
"Without Morris, Manchester City's performance will be affected a lot, and their prospects in the Champions League are not optimistic ..."
Perhaps the only thing the media said is correct, Morris is indeed very important in Manchester City.
When Morris was injured, Manchester City also performed well, but it was really not easy to survive a game. Compared with easily defeating each opponent before Christmas, Manchester City's overall performance has dropped significantly.
But this is only true.
Wan Sheng did not 'give up' Morris, Morris did not perform too bad. In fact, in the last ten minutes of the game with Birmingham, Morris was originally placed in the 'back waist' position, Wan Sheng just let him To adapt to the game, it is entirely to prepare for the match with AC Milan.
Morris appeared in the position to adapt to the position, the important thing is to run and lead the team to attack, no performance is normal.
Wan Sheng was very satisfied with Morris's performance, because he did not make any mistakes in the game, and prevented a counterattack in Birmingham. However, in the eyes of the media, Morris's "defensive performance" is naturally not a performance. , Because he is mainly at the core of the offense.
This is the preparation for Manchester City against AC Milan.
As early as half a month ago, Manchester City was already preparing for the game. The tactics against AC Milan must have the ability to control the midfield. Just relying on the 451 or 442 formation, the tactics of the 'OS-F' system, in The control of the field is not as strong as imagined, because Manchester City's tactical system is aimed at the overall formation, the guard players must participate in the attack, and the forward players also need to contribute to the defense.
The overall tactical control ability in a single position is certainly not as good as targeted play.
Therefore, Wansheng arranged the play for midfield control. The main core is the running and standing of several players in the midfield. With Morris as the core, he needs to 'lead the overall situation' after pulling, unless there is a special opportunity. Otherwise, it is difficult to have any outstanding points on the offense, but no doubt, Morris is the most important one.
In this preparation, the match with AC Milan is approaching, and the media have begun to target hype.
The four matches in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, undoubtedly the match between Manchester City and AC Milan is the most worth reporting. The match between the two teams has been seen as a collision between English football and Italian football.
That ’s what the "British Football" said. They think Manchester City represents English football. "They are the top team in the Premier League and the league ’s defending champion for two consecutive seasons. The strength of Manchester City this season is at its peak. They represent The level of football in England ... "
Many British media echo this statement.
Although there are many hostile media inside England, the hostile media also recognize Manchester City ’s strength, and the British media are also more ‘unity’. Whenever they reach the Champions League, they will always be unanimous.
Therefore, Manchester City was regarded as the ‘representative of English football’ by them.
However, in response to this, the Italian media have also said that they do not think that Manchester City can represent English football at all, because Manchester City ’s tactical style is more focused on Spain than England, and several core players in Manchester City, such as Silva and Ozil , Torres, Kopera Ferreira and others are not English players. Manchester City is more like a 'multinational coalition'. It can really represent England, and there are only a limited number of players, such as Morris and Darren. -Bent, Ivan Crewe, Lescott, and ... not found.
When the Italian media said so, the British media immediately retorted, "... AC Milan's core player is Kaka, and Kaka is a Brazilian player ..."
The Italian media have also said that they think that the most important player of AC Milan is Pirlo, not Kaka.
Then the two sides launched a fierce debate on this issue. The core point is whether AC Milan can represent Italian football and Manchester City can represent English football.
But no matter what, one thing is for sure. The British media hopes that other countries will recognize 'Manchester stands for English football'. The main thing is that Manchester City is strong, and Manchester City's football is very good. Anyone will like to look good and win. Team.
If Manchester City represents English football, doesn't it mean that English football is good-looking and powerful?
————
Wan Sheng was not at all vocal about the British media's act of "giving gold to his face".
For him and Manchester City, it does not matter whether the representative does not represent English football. The important thing is to be able to win AC Milan and complete the revenge last season.
AC Milan thinks so too.
They were suppressed by Inter Milan and Roma in Serie A, and they wanted to compete in the Champions League, proving that the team is still the top European giants, so they attach great importance to the game against Manchester City.
As the game drew near, Galliani couldn't sit still.
The famous Italian football manager took the initiative to provocatively say, "We can eliminate them last year, and we can do it this year!"
"This is San Siro Stadium and it is our territory. I firmly believe that my team will win here!"
Then he said with a smile, "Manchester City is a team that can bring us good luck. Last season we eliminated them in the quarterfinals, and then we won the Champions League. This season, we met them ..."
When Wan Sheng learned what Galliani said, he was walking out of Milan International Airport with the players.
A British reporter immediately 'reminded' what Galliani said. Wan Sheng shrugged and said almost without thinking, "Maybe our good luck is not necessarily, we beat the defending champion and then win the championship, just like in the movie Routine ... "
The surrounding British media suddenly smiled.
Galliani thought hard for a long time and was completely defeated by Wan Sheng's unconscious response.

Wan Sheng and Manchester City players are no strangers to San Siro Stadium.
Last season, they lost here.
They left bad memories here, and now they are here again, Wansheng said to the players in the locker room, "We are here again! This time we came with the fighting spirit of revenge! The conviction of victory comes! There is a saying that wherever you fell, you climbed up wherever you were. Last year we fell here. Now, we have to stand up! "
"Go now! Beat them! Let them know how good we are!"
The Manchester City players walked out of the locker room with great will, and then started a battle with AC Milan at the San Siro Stadium.
Twenty minutes passed.
Everything went smoothly and normal. Manchester City did not score, nor did AC Milan.
In this game, Manchester City used the familiar ‘OS-F’ system tactics, but the core of the tactics has changed.
Previously, the whole team was centered on Morris, but now there are four core players, Morris, Silva, Ozil and Darren Bent. field.
From the beginning of the game to the present, both teams are in the trial stage, and the offensive strength is not very strong.
Manchester City are also adapting to the new style of play.
Compared with the previous style of play, the diamond-shaped position of Morris, Silva and other four people is to strengthen the control ability of the midfield, and it can even be said to be 'ruling ability'. After the position is pulled back, it has become the core of the team's offensive and defensive. Darren Bent's position is also pulled back. He does not need to stand in parallel with Torres, and it is more premise than Silva and Ozil. Such a station Bit can guarantee Darren Bent has more space, and other players will have more choices for passing.
From the standpoint of view, Manchester City's formation has been pulled back, it seems to be more defensive, but in essence, this is to respond to AC Milan's possible quick counterattack, and at the same time, strengthen the team's control near the center line.
Twenty minutes, the effect has come out.
AC Milan's layout for the game is a defensive counterattack. Ancelotti knows that Manchester City is a good offensive player, so he chose to let the team wait for it and respond with the most familiar defensive counterattack.
Ancelotti believes that the game tactics are good for AC Milan. In football, ‘defense wins’ is not empty talk, as long as they can hold the goal, they have many opportunities to fight back.
After 20 minutes passed, Ancelotti felt wrong.
He found that the team's control in the midfield is extremely weak, especially in the midfield defense, Gattuso, Pirlo and other players can't effectively intercept in the midfield, mainly because Manchester City's cooperation in the midfield is simply too It's smooth. The frequent passing and coordination makes people dazzled. The only thing players can do on the court is to follow the opponent. That's all. This makes the team's game very passive.
For AC Milan's defensive formation, the defense of the midfield line is very important. The two midfielders Gattuso and Pirlo continue to run and intercept, which is equivalent to the team standing up between the penalty area and the center line. A sturdy and strong, the general team is very difficult to break this 'wall'.
Now the game is different.
Manchester City's offensive coordination is too smooth, which makes the two's movements meaningless.
After Manchester City crossed the team's midfield line, it was easy to pass the ball to the goal and create opportunities for their strikers.
Although Manchester City haven't scored yet, the game continues this way, Ancelotti knows that scoring is almost a matter of time.
In comparison, AC Milan's offense has no achievements. Up to now, except for Kaka's personal ability to complete the shot at the front of the penalty area, the team has no other attack threat.
Ancelotti frowned.
He knows that the situation is detrimental to AC Milan. The more crucial point is that the game is played at San Siro Stadium. If he can't play an advantage at his home court, then if he goes to Manchester, can AC Milan win?
Many live broadcast TV stations are also discussing this issue. The British BBC radio commentator is expressing his opinion that Manchester City continues to insist on being able to tie at San Siro Stadium, which is equal to success.
In this way, back to Manchester Stadium, Manchester City will have a chance to eliminate the defending champion.
In fact, Wan Sheng still hopes to score.
If he only wants to draw a draw on the road, he does not need to arrange such a tactic at all. He only needs to be conservative. After the overall formation is pulled, AC Milan will not have a good way to score.
Wansheng hopes that the team can play an advantage at San Siro Stadium!
Only when playing an advantage away from home will the team be able to easily eliminate their opponents by returning to the home court.

Morris was very active in the game.
He constantly interspersed running, guided the team's offensive, and frequently cooperated with his teammates, so that Manchester City's offensive wave after wave can continue to threaten the AC Milan goal.
Morris also made a great contribution on defense. Whenever the ball came under the control of AC Milan, he went to defend Kaka for the first time.
This is the job that Wan Sheng gave him.
At present, the AC Milan team has the best strength and the most threatening player to the team is Kaka. As long as the Kaka defends this point, AC Milan's attack is equivalent to being limited by half.
However, AC Milan's offense is often unable to play, so Morris has a defensive performance, but it is not so prominent, he mainly to promote the team's offense.
Morris is very active and active.
His mentality is different, and he very much hopes that he can perform in the game and actively wants to prove himself to everyone.
Because his goal is the Golden Globe!
Golden Globe Award!
That is the highest honor for representing professional European players!
A few years ago, Morris did not dare to think. Even before, he never thought he could touch the goal award one day. After entering the England national team, he also felt that he was just Gerald and Lampard competed for the main position. As for personal honor, he never thought about it.
This is mainly related to age and experience.
Morris is already 30 years old, and before the age of 25, he has no reputation in European football. As Wan Sheng said, his fame is too fast, and his mentality has not been adjusted.
Now Morris knows his goal.
Try your best to play ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Try your best to help the team win a championship, as long as he performs well enough, he will have the opportunity to compete for the top honors of the delegation and the individual.
Therefore, Morris worked very hard in the game. He had no consideration of what might be injured. What's more, after his position was pulled in this game, it was not easy for the opponent to defend him.
Morris kept running and led the team to suppress AC Milan. His performance was very active. Even after the position was pulled, his shining also overshadowed Silva, Ozil and Darren Bent. AC Milan Because the offensive was blocked and they spent most of their time defensively, their core Kaka couldn't be compared to Morris' performance.
Morris became the best player in the game.
Seeing the performance of Morris, the Italian media said angrily, "Before the game, the British media commented that" Wan Sheng has given up Morris "and even said that Morris will not start, it is a scam!"
"They used a lie together to make AC Milan less vigilant against Morris ..."
"British people have always said that they have gentlemanly demeanor, but under the gentleman, they hide deception and lies!" (To be continued.)
