Chapter 204 Mancini in a Bad Mood

Wan Sheng sat in his seat and looked around the stands.

He is the only protagonist.

Many reporters filming the game subconsciously rely on Wansheng to be very close. When the players of the two teams have not yet played, the cameras of the reporters are all aimed at him.

Being watched by so many reporters, Wan Sheng was expressionless. What to do or what to do, he had long been used to being watched. I remember six years ago, when he was coaching Derby County, he always imagined that one day he would play against a big club, there would be a lot of reporters around him, he would be the protagonist of the audience, but when that day came, he would I also felt that it wasn't a big deal, and it didn't matter whether I photographed myself or not.

Wansheng gave all the media a cold face.

At this time, the players of both teams came on stage.

When Atlético de Madrid players play, there is only one feeling - Wansheng is really welcome here!

All around the stands were Manchester City fans holding signs in support of Wansheng, and they kept shouting Wansheng's name. In addition to Wansheng, Morris was also welcomed by Manchester City fans. Morris played for Manchester City for five seasons. Manchester City is one of the major players in winning the Champions League. In comparison, Ozil is much worse. It is difficult to see signs supporting him throughout the stadium. Maybe Ozil is also performing well, but compared to the team The core, the core of the England team, Morris, he is still a lot worse, especially with David Silva in the team, Ozil is difficult to be remembered by fans.

Other Atlético de Madrid players sighed at the support Wansheng received. All the Manchester City fans shouted Wansheng, "The boss is really welcome!"

"Yeah, looking at these fans, I thought they were our fans!"

"These fans are so nice to the boss!"

"If I score, will they be excited for me?" Diego Costa said suddenly.

Morris rolled his eyes, "You think too much..."

In the interview before the game, Manchester City fans were very disappointed with the team's results in the Champions League, but in fact, they also hoped that the team could win the next game, thus retaining the hope of continuing to strive for the group stage.

But thinking that the opponent is Atletico Madrid, many Manchester City fans are not confident.

They trust Wansheng so much!

It is precisely because of this trust that they do not feel that Mancini can lead his team to defeat the Wansheng team. What's more, Atletico Madrid's performance is much better than that of Manchester City. Many Manchester City fans come to watch the game, and more to see Wansheng. Yes, as for the result of the game, their thinking is, "It is best to win, but to lose... there is no way! Who let the opponent be Atletico Madrid, and the coach of Atletico Madrid is Wansheng?"

The thoughts of Manchester City fans are no longer at the level of the strength comparison between the two teams.

They are all because they trust Wansheng and know what kind of coach Wansheng is. Wansheng will never be merciful to lead the team, and Wansheng is very capable. Even if he leads a small club, it is difficult for Manchester City to get a good deal. .

If other fans knew what the Manchester City fans were thinking, they would think it was a bit extreme.

Isn't Wansheng a god? How is it possible to beat Manchester City for sure?

But in the hearts of Manchester City fans, Wansheng...is God! He led Manchester City to the Premier League title for three consecutive seasons, four cup titles, two Community Shield titles, and a UEFA Champions League trophy!

Three seasons, 10 championships!

There are also four heavyweight champions!

After Wansheng left Manchester City, Manchester City was acquired by the Abizaye consortium and received a large capital injection. The average investment reached 100 million euros every summer. It sounds terrifying, but so what?

More than three seasons have passed. Manchester City, which once dominated English football, invested more than 300 million euros in transfer funds, but so far it has failed. Both Champions League games have failed. Seeing that this season's Champions League has little hope, The competition between the league and Manchester United is a bit hopeful, but compared to the results that Wansheng led and easily defeated Manchester United, Chelsea and other strong teams to win the league championship, it is still a bit worse.

The 300 million euros of the Abizaye consortium are nothing compared to the coaching of Wansheng, and they are not comparable at all!

The game finally started.

Manchester City kick off first.

Manchester City coach Mancini hopes that the team can give all his strength to the game. He did a lot of mental work before the game. In the game, the efforts of the players still made Mancini feel a little better. At least Manchester City's first wave of offensive hits. Yes, the ball went directly into the penalty area, although there was no threat to the goal, but it was a good start, right?

But Mancini never expected that after the first wave of offensive, Manchester City lost the opportunity.

When the football arrived at the feet of Atletico Madrid and started to run, Manchester City fans suddenly exclaimed.

They saw the shadow of Manchester City's tactics.

Manchester City, who was coached by Wan Sheng at the beginning, was constantly passing the ball during the game, and all kinds of exquisite cooperation were often staged in the game. Unfortunately, the current splendid belongs to the opponent - Atlético de Madrid.

Atlético de Madrid's 'B-TF' system comes from the 'OS-F' when Wansheng led Manchester City, emphasizing the same speed, running, and speeding up the rhythm. The only difference is that 'B-TF' The system emphasizes the overall attack and defense, while the 'OS-F' is a scattered position, and the player's position is relatively clear.

No matter what kind of tactic, in the eyes of the fans, the biggest manifestation of the effect is smooth cooperation.

Manchester City fans have not seen the football they are familiar with for a long time.

Since Wan Sheng left, Manchester City only insisted on 'OS-F' for a year, but without Wan Sheng's guidance, coupled with the addition of many new players, the 'OS-F' system simply cannot go on, the new coach does not understand In this system, new players cannot be integrated into the system. Even with the guidance of old players such as Morris and David Silva, it will not help, because the new coach's understanding of tactics is not as good as that of the players, so Manchester City's tactics soon became. Simple.

After Mancini took over as head coach, there was no mention of offensive football at all.

On the one hand, he cannot make the team play beautiful offensive football at all. He also thinks that this kind of football is unrealistic and difficult to achieve good results. In addition, Mancini is extremely hopeful to eliminate the influence of Wansheng in the team. Tactics, he will not use even more, but marked the team in his shadow.

Mancini succeeded.

After more than two years, Manchester City can no longer see offensive football. Their attack is attack, defense is defense, and their tactics are relatively simple.

Mancini is an Italian with a deep-rooted concept of defense first. His experience in coaching the team also taught him the importance of defense, so in the team's tactical training, he emphasized more on defense, especially the defense of the midfielder. , many back midfielders seal the middle lane, double or even three back midfielders control the mid lane, the ground penetrates, and the midfielder is flexibly inserted. He is very experienced in the use of the midfielder.

Perhaps because of this, Ozil, who has a slightly poor defensive ability, is difficult to get much playing time in Manchester City.

Now the Manchester City team on the field is playing 451 tactics. All five players in the midfield have to participate in the defense, and they can all be defensive midfielders when they retreat. This style of play does have a certain effect, but the offense is gorgeous. there is none left.

When Atletico Madrid attacked, even the Manchester Stadium commentator stopped talking about Manchester City, but about the attacking style of Atletico Madrid.

Many Manchester City fans exclaimed, and some fans also burst into tears - what a nostalgic scene!

"The players in the Manchester City shirts are running, the football is going back and forth between them, it's a dizzying series of passing and receiving, then the football is in a deadly position, and then they're ready to stand up in their seats. ...raise your arms and cheer!"

This is the football that Wan Sheng played with Manchester City for three years.

Beautiful and charming!

It's a pity they never got a chance to relive that scene again!

Manchester City began to stick to their traditional style of play, what is traditional style of play? That is the defensive counterattack, especially against the Spanish team. For example, in this game, Mancini's tactical thinking is the defensive counterattack. They must first stabilize the defense. When the goal is stable and there is no danger, they will seek a counterattack.

But in the game, Manchester City fans saw only defense, no counterattack.

Now Manchester City fans can see the football of the past again, even more beautiful, faster and smoother than when they were at Manchester City? For a moment, they thought that the Manchester City of Wansheng was back, but immediately woke up from the illusion come over.

It is Atlético de Madrid that plays gorgeous football on the field!

After exclaiming, the Manchester City fans fell silent. Once, only once, that has left, and the future can only be used as a memory.

————

Manchester City fans reminisced about the past in the stands, while Mancini on the coaching bench was sitting on pins and needles.

The game was different from what he imagined.

In Mancini's conception, the game should be Atletico Madrid attacking, Manchester City counter-attacking, and then looking for the gap where Atletico Madrid had no time to retreat to create a threat.

This is the defensive counter attack.

But the game has completely turned into the rhythm of Atletico Madrid. Their attack speed is very fast, and even so fast that Manchester City is completely unsuitable. Many Manchester City players cannot make effective defenses at all. They can only follow the Atlético Madrid players and keep chasing... Chase, chase!

Manchester City can't keep up!

This is obvious.

Atlético de Madrid keeps increasing their attack speed. The key is that they pass and receive the ball very smoothly. Manchester City players run forward and want to make a tough fight. This is set before the game. , the opponent has passed the ball out.

Can't even catch up with the ball, how can you fight hard?

If the opponent doesn't have the ball and hits it...that's a deliberate foul! No player was stupid enough to do that, so they all played very depressed.

Manchester City players can't catch up with the ball is second, the key is passive running... very tired.

Atletico Madrid players are also running constantly, but they are also passing the ball, and the speed of football is much faster than that of people. If Manchester City wants to fight outside the penalty area, they need to catch up with the ball and the players, but their running is very difficult. Passive, so they had no choice but to retreat and shrink the formation.

This scene made Mancini frown.

Sure enough, Manchester City couldn't play a little bit next, let alone they couldn't grab the ball. Even if they broke the ball, there were no players in front, and they couldn't even fight back. A big-footed pass made the only striker Dzeko. To rely on personal ability to fight, it is too impractical.

Atletico Madrid's defender is not a display, two central defenders, Thiago Silva and Godin, restricted Dzeko. They don't need to do anything else because Manchester City only have this striker.

Atlético de Madrid's frontcourt is very active, what annoys Mancini the most is the performance of Atlético de Madrid's left winger Ozil!

Maurice's free transfer to Atletico Madrid has nothing to say. It has nothing to do with Mancini, it is Maurice's own choice, but Ozil's move to Atletico Madrid has something to do with Mancini.

When Atletico Madrid sought Ozil and David Silva, club president Mubarak asked Mancini for his opinion. David Silva is the core of Manchester City and the best player in the midfield. Chiney doesn't have to think about it at all, but Ozil is his. Ozil has always been dissatisfied with his playing time. If Ozil is kept, he will definitely be given more playing time.

Mancini believes that Ozil is incapable of ability, and his worth is very inflated. It all rose with Manchester City winning the Champions League, so Mancini decided to sell Ozil to Atlético Madrid, so that he can still give the midfielder Leave more room.

It was Mancini's decision, and he explained it to Mubarak.

After Mubarak listened to his views, he decided to sell Ozil to Atletico Madrid.

But look at Ozil's performance now!

He played Adam Johnson and Kolarov all over the place all by himself!

Adam Johnson is a player named by Mancini. His £8 million worth and England international status also proves his ability. As a midfielder, his defense is quite good; Kolarov is known as Serbia Carlos, he started his career in Belgrade Kukaliki and became famous in Serie A Lazio. In 2007, Lazio got him for only 80W euros. After that, Kolarov quickly became the main force of the Blue Eagles. Location, Kolarov moved to Manchester City last summer for £19 million.

These two players are quite strong, but under Ozil's performance, they seem to be completely green leaves as a foil.

Ozil dribbled the ball from the left three times in a row, and the two defended together but failed to stop once. In one of them, the two closed the door back and forth, but Ozil made a successful breakthrough. In these three times, Ozil also made two kicks A very high quality cross.

"Manchester City's right side was beaten by Ozil alone!" Even the England commentator said so.

Mancini's mood can be imagined.

Thinking about the fact that the chairman of the club, Mubarak, was watching the game from the podium, his mood became even worse.
