Chapter 203 Genius Idea? ?

Atletico Madrid is also discussing the game, especially Maurice and Ozil, who have deep feelings for Manchester City.

After reading the British media reports, many players began to discuss, Diego Costa directly asked Morris, "Is what the boss said true? Are we going to go all out in this game?"

Under normal circumstances, players must not say such words in the face of the game.

But just like what the British media said, it doesn’t matter if Atletico Madrid lose the game, they have already scored six points, and the hope of qualifying for the group is very high. If they lose this game, Atletico Madrid will still be the first in the group.

Showing mercy to Manchester City's men is equivalent to letting Manchester City survive, allowing them to compete for the first and second place in the group.

Morris rolled his eyes, and Ozil next to him said, "Don't think about it, the boss will definitely go all out, he has already said it! Also, do we need to release water to Manchester City? If we are not serious, we will be beaten It's us who are falling apart."

"Yeah, we are not guaranteed to win!" Morris said, "Manchester City is very strong, and the Manchester City I know is quite good, and the Manchester City now is not the Manchester City it used to be."

Ozil nodded.

Both of them have some feelings. Thinking that when they left last summer, there were still familiar faces in the team, but now this Manchester City team is much more unfamiliar. Great changes have taken place in a year, and many old teammates have left. A lot of new players have arrived.

Boateng also came over and said mockingly, "You are talking about the game? I don't have a good impression of Manchester City. I have always been a substitute here. Of course, it is the same now, but I prefer to be a substitute in the boss's team. "

"Don't say that, Jerome, you're very good, you're just too young. The boss will give you more chances."

"I believe it, so I said it calmly."

"That's good."

Boateng said, "If I can play, I will definitely try my best. I don't want to be beaten by Kevin."

Hearing Boateng say this, the others were a little envious.

Jerome Boateng and Kevin Prince Boateng are a pair of brothers. They also came from the Hertha Berlin youth academy. Jerome Boateng retroactively came to Manchester. His brother Kevin-Prince-Boateng has been playing for Hertha Berlin. After four seasons in the Premier League, he moved to the Serie A giants AC Milan. Kevin-Boateng is also difficult to play the main force in AC Milan, but After all, he joined the giants, followed by the increase in fame, Jerome Boateng is worse than that, so he must work hard for his position.

There are such brothers and stars in world football, but it is difficult for both of them to play at such a high level. Others are somewhat envious of Boateng.

Several people discussed the game, and then went to the training ground together in the afternoon.

This is the last training session at the makeshift training ground.

Wansheng called everyone together.

"I had planned to announce the starting lineup for a long time, but I didn't, because I haven't figured out who to play. This is the last training, I hope to see the state of each of you, who is going all out, I will see clearly whoever is cheating and skating and not training well."

"In terms of the starting lineup, I have only one request: look at your form. This is your last chance to prove yourself."

"I hope every player in the starting lineup has to give their full effort, what I said to the reporters is true, we have to work hard to win, it's a work ethic and that's what we have to fight for!"

"Here I remind you: ignore what the media say, Manchester City is a battle of life and death? Yes, but the game is also very important to us. If we win this game, we don't have to worry about the Champions League, but focus on all our energy. In the league, get it? It's not just a game, it's about our league, and the upcoming cup!"

"The next training starts, I will take a good look at you!"

Wan Sheng's face was cold, and after speaking seriously, everyone couldn't laugh.

They found that previous thinking was wildly wrong.

The coach is clearly serious.

The team is not going to be waterproof against Manchester City, it's going to go all out to win, so they have to go all out.

Many players are drooling.

They don't believe that the consequence of not training seriously is just not entering the starting lineup, or the subsequent games will be affected.

The competition for each position in the team's third line is very fierce. The main players do not want to lose their positions, and the substitutes must work hard.

So everyone is serious.

————

Just when Wansheng asked everyone to go all out, Manchester City coach Mancini also solemnly reminded the players to work hard to win.

In the era of players, Mancini was an excellent striker. He represented the Italian team in the 1990 World Cup, but he did not play. After retiring, he started a coaching career. He has coached Fiorentina, Lazio, and Inter Milan, and his coaching career was quite successful. .

After that, Mancini came to Manchester City, took over the coach, hoping to lead the team to the top.

This season is an opportunity.

After two seasons of integration, the strength of the Manchester City club has been quite strong. Mancini believes that Manchester City still has a lot of opportunities in the competition of the Premier League this season, but Mancini is not sure about the Champions League. The first two are examples.

The game against Atletico Madrid is the last chance for Manchester City.

Another loss to Atlético de Madrid leaves City with little hope of competing for the top two in the group. At the same time, the match with Atletico Madrid also made Mancini feel depressed, because this is the team coached by Wansheng.

When he first came to Manchester City, Mancini realized the impact of Wansheng on the team.

Almost all the Manchester City-supporting media are comparing him with Wansheng. Of course, the results are self-evident. The young Chinese coached Manchester City for three seasons, winning three league titles, two Community Shields, four Cup champions, plus a UEFA Champions League, almost ruled all the championships of English teams, Mancini's coaching resume is not so brilliant, he was even ousted because coaching Inter Milan was far worse than expected. .

In coaching at Manchester City, Mancini felt the pressure of Wansheng all the time.

In addition to achievements and support, even some players in the team have a lot of connections with Wansheng, such as midfield core David Silva, that is the player that Wansheng brought out. Mancini began to think that the team could There was no need for David Silva, but in the end, it turned out that Manchester City without David Silva was simply down a notch. The main goalkeeper, Wang Xiaolei, was not only brought out by Wansheng, but he was also a Chinese player with Wansheng. For a while, Mancini felt very resentful. He used the second goalkeeper Joe Hart out of selfishness. Te is also a genius, but compared to Wang Xiaolei, Joe Hart is still inferior in terms of experience and reaction speed. In important games, he still has to use Wang Xiaolei to be safe. In the goalkeeper position, the good news is Joe Hart is also very good. He has the strength to be the main goalkeeper. Mancini is thinking about finding an opportunity to 'deal with' Wang Xiaolei next season, which can eliminate some of the influence of Wansheng on Manchester City. Wansheng has few 'direct' players. , the impact on Manchester City will be diminished.

Of course, that's for later.

Now Mancini still has to face the game against Atletico Madrid.

This is very painful before the game, almost everyone is talking about Wansheng, and he, as the manager of Manchester City, is also an internationally renowned coach, but he is completely ignored, even his own media and fans have selectively put him ignore.

Mancini was also under a lot of pressure because it was a game that had to be won.

It's not just Manchester City's Champions League group situation. For him, defeating Wansheng is a proof to himself. He doesn't want to be a 'replacement of Wansheng'. As long as he can beat Wansheng's team, this statement will definitely be much less.

The second reason makes Mancini more eager to win.

When the team assembled for the last training session, Mancini gathered all the players and said seriously, "Everyone knows our results in the group, we have reached the brink of a 'life and death battle'! If we lose the game, we will miss out. Top sixteen!"

"The first game we drew with Naples, that game should be remembered by each of you, we can say that we were lucky to get a point! In the second game we lost to Bayern, nothing to say, we played poorly too many..."

Many players bowed their heads.

As Mancini said, they have a luxurious lineup, but they have always played poorly in the past two European games.

"So, in this game, we have no choice. If we want to stay in the Champions League, we have to fight until the last minute. Even a draw will not work. We must win!"

"The opponent is Atlético, and I'm sure some of you are familiar with their manager, but a game is a game, it's professional football, and personal feelings are completely meaningless. When you're on the field, it's a matter of respect for everyone to perform better. , including the fans, the team, and the opponents."

"I hope you all do well!"

After Mancini spoke, he glanced at everyone solemnly, and then left the training ground. The assistant coach announced his disbandment. Every Manchester City player clenched their fists, and they listened to Mancini's words in their hearts.

David Silva and Wang Xiaolei looked at each other.

No one listened more seriously than them. Against Atlético de Madrid, or in other words, against the Wansheng team, they all felt extremely excited. It was an opportunity to prove themselves in front of their former teachers.

The two secretly vowed to work hard!

————

Manchester City vs Atlético de Madrid is here.

It can be seen from the starting lineup that Atletico Madrid has no intention of 'release water' to Manchester City.

Atletico Madrid has a strong enough offensive and defensive lineup.

On the front line of the 433 formation, the center is Falcao, who has been performing well in the Champions League, right forward Diego Costa, and left forward Mesut Ozil.

The midfield is a combination of Morris, Isco and Raul Garcia.

The centre-back combination is Godin and Thiago Silva, right-back Felipe Kasmirski and left-back Boateng.

J-Rodriguez, Falcao, Juan Forlan, Klose, Rafael Varane, Mario Suarez and Sergio Asenjo sat on the bench.

When the starters of both sides were ready to enter the field, the substitutes and the main players were already sitting in their positions and waiting.

When Wansheng walked out of the passage, he was watched by all the cameras.

In this game, Wansheng is the focus.

Dozens of reporters carried the cameras and kept filming. Wan Sheng ignored the reporter's filming and looked to the side. Mancini also came out. The two shook hands as usual, but only touched each other. It can be seen that the two sides have no good feelings for each other.

After that, Wansheng went to the visiting team's coaching bench, where assistant coach Fan Zhiyi and other substitute players were there.

The main players of both teams are ready to play.

David Silva and Wang Xiaolei stood in the Manchester City team, and nodded with Maurice and Ozil. They are very familiar with each other. Even if they are opponents now, they should say hello when they stand together.

Seeing Silva's actions, Dzeko asked, "How is it, David? You are very familiar with them. Do you need to pay special attention during the game? I heard that he is very powerful." Dzeko was born in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, at the age of 6 He has been through wars throughout the country with his family since then, perhaps because of his youth, which makes his movements and expressions always look fierce. At the same time, he is also a very efficient striker. The '77.5 million euro' Aguero arrives. However, Manchester City failed to become the main striker, and they could only sit on the sidelines as a substitute in this game, which proved Dzeko's excellence.

Hearing Dzeko's question, David Silva smiled at Morris, turned back and whispered, "Of course, be careful, Li is more difficult than you think."

"real?"

"Of course, I'm sure." David Silva said seriously.

Dzeko nodded clearly, but he didn’t take it seriously. When Mancini formulated his tactics against Atlético de Madrid, he emphasized the need to pay attention to a few players. Apart from Diego Costa and Falcao on the striker, he The emphasis is on paying attention to Morris, "That is the core of Atletico Madrid and the most important player. Don't underestimate him because he is 34 years old."

This sentence made all Manchester City players remember.

Although David Silva also said the same, Dzeko still subconsciously feels that a 34-year-old player... Even Maradona is not that great at this age, right?

Is he still running?

Can his body survive the impact?

Dzeko's height of 193cm makes him look very burly. After careful comparison, he thinks that the 'old guy' is nothing special. No matter how good the opponent's skills and experience are, he will just bump into him. Does the opponent dare to fight against him? Can't do it?

Thinking about it this way, Dzeko feels that he is really a genius!

He is full of confidence. (To be continued ~^~)
