Chapter 55: Two Defenders to Two Forwards
Bolton are indeed pitiful, they seem to be there to reflect the excellent defensiveness of Koppelle Ferreira.
But in fact, except for the shooting data, Bolton was not passive in the audience, but now in the eyes of others, they have become pitiful.
However, their players are actually very depressed, because they did not achieve the effect expected by the coach-they failed to break the Manchester City central defender's point, but let the opponent's young central defender play, and then be defensively stable. Surprised, at the same time, they also lost a lot of opportunities because of this, and both their momentum and fighting spirit were at a disadvantage.
This is not what they want to see.
So they hurry up and want to continue to break the point of Koppelle Ferreira, but it is a pity that Koppelle Ferreira seems to be getting better and more stable. The more Bolton players play in this direction, the more It was difficult to find an opportunity. At the end of the 27th minute of the game, their midfielder Speed even ran over and fouled Koppelle Ferreira. This impulsive approach made Bolton lose a good chance to attack, and also proved Bolton. Some players have lost their cool.
Head coach Allardyce stood on the sidelines and immediately shouted to remind the players to calm down.
As the head coach of Bolton, of course he is not afraid of playing tough games. Bolton's football is inherently tough, but tough doesn't mean rudeness, it doesn't mean losing one's sense. At that step, the score on the field was still 0:0, they just failed to play the expected effect.
But at this time not many people care about Bolton.
From the beginning of the game, everyone was talking about Manchester City's centre-back duo, and now fans and reporters are paying attention to Koppelle Ferreira, his performance is really good.
His stability has lasted for dozens of minutes.
If the defense is successful once or twice, it is difficult to be taken seriously, but in the case of being targeted by Bolton, it can persist for so long. That's enough to make him a genius.
He stands still in position, giving the impression that the line of defense with his handle is impregnable.
So far, Koppelle Ferreira has become the focus of everyone. Many fans have forgotten the current score. They only focus on Koppelle Ferreira's performance. Especially every time Koppelle Ferreira finishes the defense. They all cheered together and celebrated by shouting his name together.
It's like Koppelle Ferreira is a big star!
The same is true of the commentators. Many TV commentators will say the last sentence when they talk about the game, "Look! It's Koppelle Ferreira again!!!"
The voice spread throughout England!
On the field of play, Koppelle-Ferre straightened up and felt that he was in full shape. There was no moment when he felt such a strong self-confidence.
Listening to the voices in my ears, I felt the warm atmosphere of the home court. He had a hunch that he was going to succeed here. Then he went into the game with a lot of confidence and became more and more consistent.
"He did a really good job!" Pierce said in surprise.
Before the game, Pierce thought that Dunn should start. Dunn has been quite stable on defense for several years in the team. The only problem is that his time to return from injury is too short. It's hard to keep up with the team's tactical rhythm, but Dunn is a good defensive player. He is only a central defender. Even if he does not participate in the attack, he will not have much impact. His stability can still help the team a lot.
But Wansheng insisted on giving Koppelle Ferreira and Ricardo Costa a chance. If it wasn't for Pierce's persuasion, Dunn wouldn't even have a chance to enter the squad.
"What I need is players who can adapt to tactics." Wan Sheng explained.
Wansheng was a little dissatisfied with Dunn, mainly because Dunn was not very active in tactical training after he recovered from injury, and the progress of integrating into the team's tactics was really slow.
Originally, Dunn participated in the tactical training late, and no matter how much enthusiasm, how can he quickly integrate into the team's new tactical system! ?
In the case of Dunn, the best starting center-back is definitely the combination of Dunn and Koppelle Ferreira. Ricardo Costa's ability is still slightly insufficient. He is a backcourt similar to Sun Jihai. The all-round substitute is a good choice, but Wansheng was dissatisfied with Dunn's training attitude, so he gave Ricardo Costa a chance.
Now Ricardo Costa's performance is average, it can only be regarded as barely qualified, but fortunately Koppelle Ferreira is doing quite well, even a little unexpected!
Pierce was quite surprised by this, "How did you know he would be so good?" He was the most puzzled about it.
In weekdays training, Koppelle Ferreira also performed well, but definitely not to this point. He can't think of why Wansheng is so optimistic about Koppelle Ferreira, and now Koppelle Ferreira is indeed Showed strength.
Wan Sheng smiled, raised the corners of his mouth and said, "I have always been very optimistic about him. He was very good when he was in Porto, so I brought him to the team." Of course, he would not tell Pierce that he was optimistic about Keke. The reason for Pelle Ferreira is because of the memory of the previous life, and it is estimated that Pierce will not believe it even if it is explained.
In addition, the reason why Wansheng believes in Koppelle Ferreira is naturally the data of the football training master system.
Even if there are memories of past lives, if Koppelle Ferreira's own strength is not up to standard, Wansheng will not be able to fully trust him, but Koppelle Ferreira's personal ability is indeed very good, and his overall evaluation is better than Captain Distin is even better, and his mental attributes are even higher. What such a capable player lacks is really only game experience.
So, as long as Koppelle-Ferrera has confidence in himself, it's fairly normal to perform well.
...
"Koppelle Ferreira is amazing!"
"He has just landed in the Premier League. He was not well-known in Portugal before, and I didn't expect to perform so well when he came to Manchester City!"
"In this game, many people are worried about Manchester City's defense. Captain Distin's injury is a blow to them. Dunn has just recovered from injury, and their backcourt is almost unusable. What they didn't expect is that Cope Le Ferreira carried the load, he and his friend Ricardo Costa were surprisingly good at centre-back, leaving Bolton with nothing to do!"
Fans who don't know the situation will definitely be puzzled by the commentator's words, because they have never heard the name of Koppelle Ferreira, and they did not expect this player to be unknown before this game, but now many The commentator only praised Koppelle Ferreira, "Seeing Koppelle Ferreira's performance now, we believe that we will soon be able to see a new Portuguese central defender rising rapidly!"
"We also believe that after this game, Koppelle Ferreira's name will be known by many people. He can be said to be famous in the first battle!"
"It is certain that there will be a place for him in the backcourt of Manchester City in the future..."
The narrators stopped talking about Bolton, and now they're all supporting characters, while Koppelle-Ferrera is the hero.
This game also seems to be played for the rise of heroes.
At this time, Bolton did not feel very good. The offensive for more than 30 minutes in a row failed to break the gate of Manchester City. Instead, the attack was blocked in front of the penalty area, so that their shots were poor.
They were all quite depressed, but after all, they were not playing offensive football. Thirty minutes passed, and they had to slow down the offensive, so once the thirty minutes passed, Manchester City took more initiative.
At this point, anyone can see that the situation is not good for Bolton.
In the 37th minute of the game, Bolton launched another attack, but it did not achieve good results. This time, it was not Koppelle Ferreira who stopped them, but his partner Ricardo Kos. tower.
Ricardo Costa was stable up front, but with Koppelle Ferreira, who performed better, he was very inconspicuous.
But this time, he responded quickly and intercepted Bolton's pass in the frontcourt, and then transferred the ball to Morris, helping the team to launch a counterattack.
Manchester City's tactics are based on control and rhythm, but it does not mean that the team's counterattack is not fast. In fact, there is not much tactical effect in the fast counterattack. If there is a chance, any player knows that speed is the key. the most important.
When Morris got the ball, he used the most efficient method - he drove the ball into the front court with a big foot!
Manchester City didn't have a few long passes throughout the first half. As a result, Bolton didn't react a bit this time. They only realized the danger when they saw the football at the feet of Darren Bent in the frontcourt!
Darren Bent is also a newcomer to Manchester City, but since Andy Cole is a veteran and Robbie Fowler has just recovered from injury, he has made more appearances. Just like this game, he and Anelka partnered to form a double striker combination.
In the previous time, Darren Bent had little performance, and no one would notice him.
But now he is the protagonist of the audience!
All the cameras followed just because he had the ball on the left side of the front of the box and there were no defenders around him.
Everyone knows this is a great opportunity!
Darren Bent was also very excited. After he stopped the ball steadily, he looked around carefully and dribbled the ball directly forward. He dribbled the ball over the penalty area line. At the same time, he noticed that the Bolton goalkeeper also attacked.
He decisively continued to dribble the ball and drove straight in!
Bolton goalkeeper Jaskelainen has already saved. He tried to block Darren Bent's shooting angle and also tried to form a pinch with Ben Haim behind Darren Bent to create pressure on Darren Bent , forcing him to make the wrong choice.
But at this moment, Darren Bent suddenly pushed the ball horizontally!
On the other side, Anelka followed. All he needed to do was to shove the empty goal, and then the football flew into the goal in the next second without any suspense.
1:0!
In the 37th minute of the game, the cooperation of Anelka and Darren Bent helped Manchester City complete the goal! (To be continued ~^~)
