Chapter 206 The Gap Between Mancini and Wansheng
Atlético de Madrid have already started to celebrate the goal.
Due to the "peace and friendship" between the two teams before the game, Atletico Madrid players were also very restrained in celebrating, and they didn't want to spoil the atmosphere of the "visiting fans welcome", so Diego Costa was very excited and just hugged his teammates.
The Atlético de Madrid coach bench cheered, and then the celebration was over. Wan Sheng sat back on the coach bench with the same expression as before.
From another angle, it's like saying, "It's okay to score goals."
This makes Manchester City fans miss the days of Wan Sheng coaching even more, because at that time they could also think 'it's okay to score a goal', but now they can't. It is very difficult for Manchester City to get a goal in the Champions League.
Diego Costa is really excited.
Although the goal celebration was just a hug with his teammates, he was smiling all the time on the way back, and anyone could see how excited he was. In fact, it's no wonder Diego Costa is excited, this is his first goal in the Champions League.
In the summer, Aguero is gone and Falcao is here.
Diego Costa is very clear that his biggest rival this season is Falcao. Before this game, Falcao had not scored in the league, nor in the Champions League, so it was the Champions League game. At times, the coach is more inclined to let Falcao play. Even if they play together, Falcao's position is more important. In the league, it is the opposite. He is the absolute main striker of the team, because he scored four goals in the league. The goal is the most goals scored by the team.
Now Diego Costa has also scored in the Champions League, on the one hand, it also represents that he has an advantage in the competition with Falcao.
This is the most immediate gain.
The Spanish commentator also praised Diego Costa, saying, "Costa is very calm in front of goal. In Atletico Madrid's tactical system, forward players may not get more opportunities, but Costa can seize every opportunity. , he is the kind of killer who can score the ball when he has a chance!"
"Costa once again proved that he is definitely one of the most efficient strikers in world football. The Spanish Football Association should consider dealing with Costa's nationality issue as soon as possible. We hope to see him play on behalf of the Spanish team soon!"

After scoring at Atletico Madrid, the most embarrassing is undoubtedly the Manchester City coach Mancini.
Mancini is very clear that he has no place in the hearts of Manchester City fans, not because he led the team too poorly, but compared to the young Chinese... His achievements are really nothing!
When many fans were interviewed before the game, when talking about the comparison between the young Chinese and himself, they basically thought that there was no comparison at all. Mancini was not convinced at all, but now he suddenly realized... The views of Manchester City fans are correct!
That Chinese led the team to achieve brilliant results, not only by luck, but by real ability. Not to mention the competition in the Premier League, just leading the team to win the Champions League for three seasons is already very remarkable. You know, at that time Manchester City does not have a big financial group to inject capital, and it is also burdened with huge debts. The transfer fee every season is very small, and it cannot even buy a star.
Under these conditions, the opponent led Manchester City to win the Champions League in three seasons.
Mancini thought he couldn't do it.
When coaching Inter Milan, the club Moratti gave him huge support. Inter Milan has a lot of transfer fees every season, but before the 'Phone Door' incident, AC Milan and Juventus and other teams were hit hard. , that Inter Milan, let alone the European Championship, can't even compete in Serie A.
How can such a team's performance be compared to the league title with an "ordinary Manchester City" in just one season?
When the two teams played directly against each other, Mancini found that his tactical thinking of leading the team was also quite different from that of Atletico Madrid. Atletico Madrid played offensive football. Traditionally, there is no gap between offensive football and defensive football. There is no doubt that Atletico Madrid's tactical system is more advanced than Barcelona, which may be an important reason why Atletico Madrid can continue to beat Barcelona.
Barcelona's tactics are already advanced enough. Many clubs, including those giants, such as Manchester United and other teams, are learning some of Barcelona's first-hand play methods. Compared with Atletico Madrid, Barcelona is even worse. Some.
If time were to describe, Atlético de Madrid's football tactics were ten years ahead of Manchester City...and more!
Thinking of this, Mancini has no confidence in the game.
But no matter what, Mancini knows that he must let the team win, otherwise after today's game, he will be even more insignificant in Manchester City, and even Chairman Mubarak will no longer trust himself--Look at the game Ozil, who performed well, knew it. At the beginning, he told Mubarak that Ozil was not strong, but Ozil was on the field, and Manchester City had no way to defend on the right.
In this case, how can Mubarak trust himself?
Not only the chairman of the club, but also the Manchester City media and fans will laugh at him. So many transfer fees support, so many stars join, and it is a home game, and the result is no suspense. Lost to Atlético de Madrid... Manchester City's transfer is in the end what to do? What is he doing as a head coach?
When he was drawn in the same group with Atletico Madrid, Mancini was still very happy, because he had the opportunity to prove that he was better than Manchester City, and proved that Manchester City can be very good without Wansheng.
But now... the Italians clenched their fists and stared at the pitch.
He began to feel sorry for his bad luck.
————
"It's surprising that Manchester City is behind Atletico at home... Mancini vowed to win before the game because he didn't face the gap between himself and Wan Sheng..."
"In the hearts of Manchester City fans, Wansheng is unbeatable, and it has even risen to the level of 'Holy'. Manchester City fans don't mind adding a 'Holy' before Wansheng's name at all, and now they are even more certain about it..."
"Mancini made City's tactics conservative, his football was not good-looking at all, and now his football is not only bad, but can't win."
"Manchester City fans don't seem to mind conceding goals because many fans didn't think Mancini was capable of beating Wan Sheng at first..."
England commentators have said so, one can imagine how much Mancini failed in the face of Wansheng.
After Atletico Madrid scored the goal, the game was completely behind their rhythm. Atletico Madrid players performed better, their coordination was more fluid, and Manchester City was more defenseless.
Manchester City hopes to organize an effective defense, but their hearts are already in chaos. Even if they retreat and compress the formation and defend with numbers, they cannot completely defend the goal.
After the first half, almost only one player can be seen.
That is Manchester City goalkeeper Wang Xiaolei!
Wang Xiaolei is one of the players in the spotlight. He is the Chinese goalkeeper brought out by Wansheng. There is also Wang Qiuming in the Atletico Madrid squad, but Wang Qiuming has not been able to represent Atletico Madrid in the competition, but Wang Xiaolei has been able to serve as the absolute main force.
There are not many players that China can play. It is conceivable that Wang Xiaolei has received domestic attention. His performance is indeed outstanding. In the Manchester City team, David Silva is the second, because Manchester City rarely plays exquisite coordination. , David Silva is not the kind of player who is good at individual performance. Wang Xiaolei is different. Every time he makes an excellent save, he will arouse the cries of the audience.
At this point in the game, Wang Xiaolei has become the only pride of Manchester City fans!
Wang Xiaolei's excellent performance also made Atletico Madrid's offense a little sad, because two consecutive good chances and threatening shots were saved by Wang Xiaolei's personal performance.
Relying on Wang Xiaolei's wonderful performance, Manchester City held on for another ten minutes.
But Wang Xiaolei is not a god, there are things that normal humans can't do. At the 43rd minute of the game, Atletico Madrid still scored Manchester City's goal.
Taking advantage of a corner kick, Ozil hung straight from the left, and Falcao rushed to the top!
This header was very powerful and hit a dead corner again. Wang Xiaolei couldn't react at all, he could only watch the football fly in.
“Goooooooooooooooooal!!!!”
"Falcao! Falcao!"
"A great header! Falcao scored Atlético Madrid's second goal! This is Falcao's fourth goal in the Champions League and he has already equalled Barcelona's May West, one of the top scorers in the top scorer list!"
Falcao cheered after scoring the goal.
Although he could never find a good state in the Spanish league, he never scored a goal, and was dubbed the "league goal drought" by the Spanish media, but in the Champions League, he always felt in great shape.
This header is proof!
Ozil's passing was not so precise, and there were defenders around him, but he managed to find the best position and use the maximum force.
Goal, hearty!
On the Atlético de Madrid coaching bench, Wan Sheng stood up and applauded for Falcao's goal, while others cheered excitedly.
If you only look at two goals, it is difficult to say whether there is any suspense in the game. After all, there are still 45 minutes in the second half, and Manchester City has enough time to catch up, but if you only look at the process of the first half, everyone will think that Atletico Madrid will win. There is no suspense in the game, because Manchester City can't stop Atletico Madrid at all. Although they have been working hard, every player is active, and the fight is fierce, but they have been suppressed all the time, Atletico Madrid can always play exquisite cooperation, All their efforts seemed to have no effect at all.
"This is the tactical gap between the two teams! Or, the gap between Mancini and Wansheng!"
"A few seasons ago, Manchester City also used offensive football. They used offensive football to play the sky in England and even Europe, but now the arrival of Mancini has completely disintegrated the original offensive football tactical system. Wansheng brought Manchester City's ' High-end play', completely turned into a drowsy counter-attack."
"Manchester City keeps bringing in stars, and it can't make up for the gap brought by tactics."
"In terms of strength, Atletico Madrid is not better than Manchester City, but the game clearly shows that the gap between Manchester City and Atletico Madrid is very large. "
"Seeing this game, many people will probably think of the Champions League final between Manchester United and Barcelona at the end of May. In that game, Manchester United was beaten by Barcelona and could not fight back. The 3-0 proved everything. It's because of the difference in play style."
"This game is the same, I think, after this failure, Mancini may consider improving his tactics, rather than relying on individual stars to increase the team's strength. Manchester City's transfer is not only costing more transfers for no reason. Meeting funds has no practical significance at all..."
————
Manchester City can't stop Atlético Madrid at all. Although they have been working hard and every player's movement is very active, the tactical disadvantage and the disadvantage of players' coordination make it very painful for them to play, whether it is a player who is used to defending and counterattacking, They are players who are used to attacking football. In fact, in essence, every player does not like their own side to suppress, so they spend most of the time defending, especially when Manchester City is two goals behind, they have no hope of winning at all.
Every Manchester City player is miserable.
As soon as the whistle of the first half ended, Mancini walked to the locker room with a gloomy face.
In the eyes of many people, he is not walking, but fleeing. Escape the pitch, escape defeat.
On the podium of the Manchester Stadium, Manchester City chairman Mubarak also had a bad expression. Compared with Mancini, the Arabs' faces were more angry. Before, he thought that Mancini's coaching ability was good. Ben Manchester City had a good chance of competing for the league title this season, but after watching the first half of the game, he suddenly found that the Italian was nothing.
With such a luxurious squad, Manchester City has the ability to compete for a league title is normal, what he needs is better results.
The Champions League is the real stage!
But Mancini did not bring these, the opponent's left striker Ozil performed quite well, Mubarak clearly remembered that it was a Manchester City player, and Mancini sold him to Atletico Madrid.
This is simply a failure!
Saying that one's own players are not good enough, but the other team has performed very well when the other team is on the other team. Is it because the players are not good, or the coach does not know how to use the players?
The answer is obvious!
What makes Mubarak even more angry is that there is no hope of winning in the match between Manchester City and Atletico Madrid. Is this the result of investing more than 300 million euros in three seasons? And the opponent? As far as he knows, Atletico Madrid has not invested much in the transfer market in recent years, and it has invested a lot this summer, but Aguero is enough to earn most of it back. Compared with the two, Manchester City is simply a big deal!
The Abu Dhabi consortium is very rich and does not care about this investment in football, but the Abu Dhabi consortium is not taking advantage of it. He, Mubarak, is not a 'prodigal' of the Abu Dhabi consortium. Alfahim values himself. Only because of his ability did he make himself the chairman of Manchester City, but if Alfahim knew about this kind of thing, would he still be able to sit firmly in the chairman position?
Mubarak couldn't even imagine it.
Looking at the '0:2' on the scoreboard on the field, Mubarak felt that it was the color of blood, the blood of the Abu Dhabi consortium, his own blood, and Mancini, the one who gave the club , Consortium 'bloodletting' people.
In short, Mubarak feels he has been tricked.
