Chapter 56 Two Empty Doors

At some point, Wan Sheng had already stood up from his seat.

His eyes were fixed in front of Bolton's goal. At the moment when the football flew into Bolton's goal, he clenched his fists tightly, and the veins on the back of his hands jumped up!

Darren - Bent's outstanding performance, does not surprise him.

Darren Bent is very good in both ability and state, so Darren Bent can stabilize his mentality, calmly complete the cooperation with his teammates in front of the goal, it is actually a very normal thing, and Wansheng Excited to formally cooperate this time.

Darren Bent to Anelka, a simple pass in front of the door, but revealed too much content.

This is the coordination of walking according to the tactical mode. As long as everyone runs correctly, the pass can be completed without even knowing the position of the teammates, and the teammates will arrive at the right time to find a good opportunity in front of the goal.

This is also the cooperation that Wansheng has always emphasized!

But even in training, it is difficult to achieve this kind of cooperation, because every attack is different, and the team has not been training together for a long time, so it is impossible to cooperate so skillfully and tacitly. Because of this, Darren - The cooperation between Bent and Anelka surprised Wansheng.

Not only him, but Diamares next to him also stood up. He opened his mouth and stared at Bolton's goal. He didn't even react when the ball was scored, "Look! Wansheng, Bent, he passed a good pass. ball!"

"Yeah!" Wan Sheng smiled excitedly and turned to react, "We shouldn't say this, we should celebrate the goal! Haha..."

"Ha ha!"

The two looked at each other, and immediately raised their arms and joined the others in celebration. At the same time, the entire Manchester Stadium had long been plunged into a sea of ​​celebration.

......

Compared with the excitement of Manchester City, the Boltons were silent.

At the beginning of the game, their fans also shouted a few words to confront the Manchester City fans. Now they have no spirit, Bolton's performance in the main field is really disappointing.

They were expecting the team to lead!

After learning that the opponent's starting lineup was a rookie central defender, they had been expecting the team to break down the Manchester City's backline and then score goals one by one to complete a big victory. But the difference is a little too big. The opponent's so-called 'rookie central defender' is a bit too strong. One of the central defenders has even become the protagonist on the field. It is not at all Manchester City's 'weakness' as reported by the media.

That's all, the key is that the team can't attack the "weakness" for a long time, and then it is scored by the Manchester City!

Seeing his own goal was broken. Bolton fans followed in silence. This is equal to disappointment plus disappointment, which is too far from the previous expectations. As a result, now they can only listen to the cheers of the Manchester City people, but they can't do anything.

Not only on the pitch, but many Bolton fans in front of the TV were silent.

Those fans in the square or in the bar put down their beers and went silent with other fans. They realized that reality and expectations were seriously inconsistent. Quite disappointed with the team's performance.

In fact, they were still suspicious.

The reason why they look forward to the game before the game is because the media reported a lot of content. They are all talking about Manchester City's 'weakness', the game is not easy to play, Bolton wants to win easily and so on, in short, it means that Manchester City is in crisis, Bolton can easily take the opportunity to win the game, but the process of the game and the report The gap is really small. Big, Manchester City has no passive at all. The two teams can be said to be evenly matched at best, and after 30 minutes, anyone can see that Bolton's offensive has slowed down, and Manchester City has achieved situational suppression. Coupled with this goal, obviously The progress of the game is seriously inconsistent with the media reports.

Why is this so?

Aren't those who analyze the game in the media all kinds of football experts and professors? How can this error occur?

They really don't understand.

Maybe a Chinese fan can tell them with disdain that the so-called experts and professors are a bunch of people who can talk nonsense... Of course, now they can only experience it for themselves.

In contrast, Manchester City fans feel the exact opposite.

Before the game, they had been worried about the team, because all the remarks in the media were not good for Manchester City. As a result, in the game, what they saw was that the team had a new strong center-back that deserves recognition. The front of the penalty area is strictly guarded, and the Boltonians are not allowed to take a step forward.

Besides, it is the goal brought about by this wonderful cooperation just now!

They were so excited after seeing the goal that they shouted frantically to vent, which also sent the Manchester Stadium into a frenzy.

......

"Goal scored! Anelka! A great match!"

"Darren Bent dribbled the ball into the penalty area, almost when he was facing the goalkeeper, he selflessly passed the ball to his teammates, Anelka got the opportunity, he just pushed the ball into the empty goal!"

"Unbelievably good fit!"

"Darren Bent hasn't been at Manchester City for a long time, but judging from this ball, he has completely adapted to Manchester City, or in other words, adapted to the new style of play brought by the head coach Wan Sheng!"

"From now on, we can be sure that Manchester City have a great new duo up front, Anelka and Darren Bent! We are sure they will become the most feared striker duo in the Premier League... ."

"..."

The commentators kept talking about the goal just now. They are actually very professional. Most people see a goal as just a goal, but they can see a lot of things from the goal. Among them, Darren Bent and Arnell The cooperation of the card is naturally a very important point.

But if Wansheng heard their conclusion, he would definitely laugh with disdain.

Darren Bent and Anelka's partner! ?

Including this game, Anelka has scored four goals, Darren Bent scored twice in the game against Derby County and scored two goals, the two together scored a total of Six goals accounted for almost half of the team's goals. It sounds good that the two of them are paired with two strikers. However, the reason why the two can play together now is just pieced together. The pairing of the two is definitely not perfect, let alone a combination.

The first point is that both are the kind of players who are good at playing first forward.

The first striker does not refer to the position, but the 'right to fire'. That is to say. The kind of player who is good at scoring goals!

For example, Henry and Ruud van Nistelrooy belong to this type of players, or should be said, most of the players who can rank in the top ten of the scoring list are such players. They have always been the absolute core of the team's striker. Two cores is not a good thing. This will confuse the frontcourt 'right to fire'. After all, it is enough for a team to have a firepower in the frontcourt, and it is better for players in other positions to choose to support this firepower.

So Anelka and Darren Bent's partner, the problem is very many.

The best choice is actually to play Anelka as the second striker and let Darren Bent play as the first striker, because Anelka has relatively strong comprehensive ability, better passing and overall situation. The second striker can still create a lot of chances, but Anelka is on the field. The style of playing is really unique, and he rarely gives up opportunities to his teammates.

at this point. Wansheng also talked to Anelka, but the effect was not great.

This is not only a psychological problem, but also a style that has been formed over the years. Whenever there is a chance, his first reaction will always be to find opportunities by himself. Perhaps this is also the confidence that top strikers must have. In short, Ah Nerka has enough ability, but it is difficult to adapt to the position of 'assistant'.

So Wansheng has been hoping that Robbie Fowler can come back.

In this way, the first striker has two options, Anelka and Darren Bent, Robbie Fowler can be the second striker, Andy Cole can be the frontcourt position, and one more Ronaldo It's much easier to start the frontcourt than Fowler.

......

Anelka and Darren Bent on the field don't need to think too much, they only know that they have just completed a wonderful cooperation.

Anelka hugged Darren Bent tightly after scoring!

Now he feels really good!

Last season, due to the conflict with coach Keegan, he was not trusted at all. It was impossible for him to play in the late stage of the league, and he couldn’t even make it to the roster. He didn’t know whether he would be able to return to the top one day.

Although he is still very confident in his own strength and state, the long-term poor performance has made him somewhat less confident.

It's different now.

The league has just reached the sixth round, and he has already scored four goals. This efficiency is very high no matter what, even more than all the goals of some small teams. Scorer, and entered the top three scorers in the Premier League.

Now Anelka is very concerned about scoring goals. When he saw Darren Bent pass the ball to himself selflessly, he was very moved.

Darren Bent is happy too.

It's not how selfless he is, the main reason is that his positioning of himself is much lower than that of Anelka. After all, he also played for Ipswich last season. It was only a Championship team, and his worth is actually It's not high, and it can't be compared with Anelka at all. The reputation of the two is too much, and there is a certain gap in strength. When it comes to the game, Darren Bent naturally feels that he should pass the ball to Anelka more. .

In fact, he still feels awkward, because he wants to score more.

But think that he has just arrived at Manchester City. In the previous game, he also scored two goals. In addition to this assist, he already has two goals and two assists. This performance is definitely better than most players. .

That's it, what more do you want?

After all, he has had a great start at Manchester City, and there is no need to fight for a goal or two with more famous teammates.

......

The game resumed shortly after City finished celebrating.

There is not much time left in the first half, Manchester City are still pressing on the attack, they hope to get another one in the first half, so it will be easier in the second half.

However, Bolton's style is very tough, and it is more obvious in defense. Their defense is very strong, which makes Manchester City's offense a bit of a headache, but at the same time Bolton has not found any opportunities. In the second half of the first half, they have been suppressed and completely in passive.

Soon the first half was over, and it was time for halftime.

In the locker room, Wansheng talked about the first half of the game, praising Koppelle Ferreira's performance and Darren Bent's passing, and then he talked about the second half of the game, making the team pay attention Bolton's counterattack.

"They will definitely not be reconciled to losing! They will definitely lose their temper and hurry up and score!"

Wansheng side conducts tactical guidance. Bian analyzed, "What we have to do is to control the rhythm, wait patiently for opportunities, and don't rush to attack, as I often emphasize in training. We have to let the opponent fall into our rhythm. Then the victory will definitely belong to us!"

As Wansheng analyzed, Bolton really couldn't bear the attack in the second half.

They have no choice.

In the case of falling behind, they can only tie the score by attacking, and only by tying the score can they hope to gain points, so they must attack.

However, this anxious attacking mentality happened to fall into Wansheng's "calculation", and Manchester City set up a battle. Do not hurry or slow to play according to the tactics. Mainly use the overall running and mutual passing to control the rhythm of the game.

Soon, many people found that the game seemed to have entered a specific melody.

Whenever Manchester City got the ball, they started to pass the ball continuously. The passing speed was not fast and there was no regularity. A moment ago, a moment later, a moment left, a moment right, this kind of completely irregular passing makes people. The rhythm feels the same. It's as if the speed of each pass is the same, and the interval between passes is the same. Of course, it's absolutely impossible, but that's how many people feel.

Of course, the most profound feeling is still Bolton players.

They are very depressed!

Originally, they wanted to attack quickly, but when they saw Manchester City get the ball, they were not in a hurry to attack forward. Instead, they passed from front to back. Passing, passing between midfielders and defenders, etc., they can only watch these things, and they have no ability to go forward and fight. As a result, they can only watch the opponent keep passing the ball, keep passing the ball, and the passing seems to be Rhythmically, let them run in the same rhythm.

Their rhythm is totally driven!

There are also players who realize that something is wrong. They are well-informed and know that Manchester City is trying to use the constant passing to drive the rhythm. This is a kind of play similar to Juventus' old lady, but they have no good way. .

At the same time, the game is still very exciting, because Manchester City's passing coordination is very interesting to watch.

Manchester City's possession of the ball is not just that kind of meaningless passing. Their passes are based on tactical routines. There are often passes that directly threaten the opponent's defense. Whenever such a pass occurs, the situation suddenly changes. Get nervous, but when you see there is no chance, football is quickly spread.

Therefore, as long as football is at the foot of Manchester City, Bolton will experience a process of relaxation to tension and tension to relaxation again and again.

It makes them deeply tired!

Many players know that they are driven by Manchester City, but there is nothing they can do because they have no experience with this style of play and do not know how to deal with it.

Then they are more passive.

In the 71st minute of the game, Bolton still failed to defend the defense. Manchester City used two quick passes to make Bolton's defense a mess, followed by Sinclair and Morris to complete cooperation, and Reina came off the bench. Get the ball in front of the penalty area.

Reina got the ball straight to the penalty area, and Ziegler, who plugged in, got the opportunity to face the goalkeeper.

Wan Sheng covered his face at that moment!

This attack proved the success of the team's tactics, but who can imagine what a full-back can do against a goalkeeper? In particular, Bolton goalkeeper Jaskelainen is quite outstanding... While Wan Sheng was still praying, he had heard the cheers coming from his ears, and this voice also told him the result.

He put his palm down and looked at Bolton's goal.

I saw that the football was already lying in the goal, and Anelka had rushed towards the sidelines frantically. This scene was enough to tell everyone what happened.

At the last moment, Ziegler chose to pass the ball to Anelka, who pushed the empty goal and completed the same goal as before.

Two empty goals, two goals!

But this goal is definitely due to Leto Ziegler, and many commentators also shouted, "2:0! Anelka! But this goal is due to Manchester City's full-back, the young Belgian teenager. Leto Ziegler, he came in at the right time, and he passed the ball to the other side with a calm face to the goalkeeper!"

"Anelka is quite lucky, the Frenchman has pushed two empty goals and completed two goals..."

The commentators were deeply surprised by Anelka's good luck--two goals, both of which were shoved into the empty goal, how easy is this goal? Perhaps in the eyes of professionals, Anelka's running is the most important, but it is indeed easier to push the empty goal than to shoot directly, so Anelka's two goals give people the feeling is too easy.

Even some teammates on the field were very excited. They ran over and everyone patted Anelka on the shoulder hard. It was not a celebration, but it was like venting.

Anelka was grinning.

It wasn't just joy, but a big part of it was pain.

Of course, the most important thing is that this goal also made the game less suspenseful. Although it was only two goals, Bolton's almost no shooting performance also made them lose confidence, especially this is an away game. Now it can be said that the winner is the loser.

Many people have come to this conclusion.

The same is true for the next game. Although Bolton showed a tough attitude to the end, Manchester City players did not feel the pressure of the game. Until the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Bolton did not shoot a few times in total.

In the end, Manchester City won 2-0 against Bolton and won the sixth round of the league. (To be continued ~^~)
