Chapter 61 Convinced

The game against Everton is coming soon.

Everton's manager is still David Moyes, who is Wansheng's old rival, but he is no longer the Derby County manager, and David Moyes is still coaching Everton.

David Moyes' performance in Everton is indeed good. After he took over Everton's feet in 2002, Everton was like a god. , can only rank seventh, but this is also Everton's best result in 10 years, and Moyes also won the English Football Association's Coach of the Year award.

In the next two years, Everton's performance had a lot of ups and downs, but whether it was the ups and downs of last season or the ups and downs of last season, it did not affect the coaching position of David Moyes. Among the club and the fans, he has established a prestige and made everyone trust him, so he still remains at Everton.

Now that Wan Sheng is coaching Manchester City, the two have become rivals again.

For the opponent of Wansheng, David Moyes still has a headache, because he has not taken advantage of Wansheng. Even if Wansheng goes to Manchester City, it is no longer the powerful Derby County, but Manchester City's results are not good enough. Xiaoshi, at least much better than Everton, so David Moyes talked about the game before the game and said, "This game will be difficult for us. They are not an easy opponent to win."

This is still euphemism.

In fact, in the league so far, there are two teams that have not been beaten, that is, Chelsea and Manchester City. Manchester City is slightly worse than Chelsea, but no team will say that it can beat Manchester City.

In this 'big environment', Wansheng doesn't need to be humble anymore.

The previous modesty was just to keep the media reporters from putting Manchester City and Chelsea together, which is very dangerous, and Chelsea has become the 'enemy of the whole people'. As long as it's not Chelsea's fans and media, they all want them to lose. Wansheng doesn't want the team to enter that kind of situation. The main thing is that Manchester City doesn't have that kind of strength, and it is best to develop slowly and quietly. But now the opponent is only Everton. David Moyes wouldn't believe it if it was too low-key, so he didn't have to make that gesture.

"We'll do our best to win!"

At the pre-match press conference, Wansheng was full of confidence, which made the reporters who had shown weakness and bewilderment to Wansheng heaved a sigh of relief. They finally saw that the confident and even a bit 'arrogant' Chinese came back.

"At our home. We will fight for every victory. We have prepared a lot for the game. So I believe the victory will be ours..."

David Moyes is also not showing weakness, "We will try our best! Everyone in the team is very motivated and they all want to win..."

...

The words of the two head coaches are somewhat tit-for-tat, but in fact, many people can hear them. One said 'struggle', none of them talked about winning or anything like that. Still leaving room for each other.

This is why Wansheng and David Moyes are very familiar.

Just because I am very familiar, I don't have to say it to death. After all, I can't see you in the league, and my personal relationship is also very good. There is no need to talk about "winners" in a game.

However, Manchester City and Everton are going to play, and the two are direct competitors, so when it comes to the game, there is no 'room' to speak of. Both teams are trying their best to play the game. From the first minute, the game is Appears very intense.

David Moyes has a lot of preparation for the game. He has studied the tactics played by Manchester City and found that the best way to deal with such 'controlled transfer flow' football is to defend as tough as Bolton. This is actually the same as against Derby County last season. It's the same, as long as the defense is strong, the hype of attacking is meaningless. A direct and quick counterattack can do everything. After all, the purpose of tactics is to defend and score goals, so direct tactics can sometimes be very good. As a result, Everton can't play more beautiful and technical football than Manchester City, so David Moyes can only make the team play a little more direct.

Before the game, he explained the defense in particular.

As long as the defensive formation is stable, don't be easily pulled away by Manchester City, and at the same time have a strong press, try to counterattack when you have the opportunity, such a direct strategy, Everton can play very well, David Moyer S also thinks it will be very effective.

Of course, the specific effect still has to be seen in the game.

From the opening point of view, the effect is still obvious. The Manchester City midfielder's pass was intercepted by Everton several times, and Everton took advantage of the opportunity to complete the counterattack and almost broke the Manchester City goal.

Morris and Anelka have become the objects of special care for Everton. Everton are already familiar with Morris, the core midfielder, so they know that they must play against the Wansheng team. 'Take care' of Maurice, Anelka is incidental. Last season, Anelka didn't perform well at all, but this season he scored too many goals and became a player who needs special attention, and then he was also special. taken care of.

This kind of special care is not only defensive attention, but Everton players will not mind fouls. As long as they can stop the two, they will have all means.

For Everton, pay special attention to the defense of Moyes and Anelka, which requires the two to pass the ball to their teammates. After all, this kind of 'special care' can only be found by the players themselves, and the tactical arrangement is not very useful. , the other side is especially defending two people, then only others can get more balls, but Morris is still very experienced in this regard. In the second half of last season, he will become the opponent's object of 'special care' in every game. , Anelka doesn't matter at all. As a striker, he doesn't feel anything without the ball for more than ten minutes. He is used to being guarded closely. What's more, he is often at the forefront of the team. If a player wants to foul, he also needs to look at the position, otherwise it is a penalty kick, or a free kick in a good position.

To deal with Everton, Wansheng has already had a countermeasure, that is, to continuously attack their middle lane, use running to pull the car empty, and fight with the opponent for physical fitness, so that the team's physical advantage can be maximized.

Everton definitely didn't expect Manchester City to play like this!

The game started better. Many players did not seem to get into the game quickly. Several mistakes gave Everton a chance. But over time, Manchester City's tactics have been played out, and the attack against the middle has also appeared, so the Everton players found it difficult to defend because the Manchester City players in the frontcourt were constantly running. They have to keep up if they want to defend. But to keep up... is to keep running, which is very physical.

Some people felt that City's front-field players were 'a bit silly' because a lot of the movement they made was pointless, and then they slack off, but soon they found that it was almost like giving City a chance , they are a slack. It is easy for the other party to find the space. So as to find shooting opportunities.

"Follow! Don't let them run!" shouted Simon Davis on the court.

Head coach David Moyes also stood on the sidelines. He began to worry about the game. He didn't expect that Manchester City's running in the frontcourt would be so 'active'. What's more, the opponent's running was very targeted. Sex, if you go to defense, you must keep following, otherwise, an inattentive may become an opportunity for the opponent.

Soon David Moyes found another trouble... The opposition midfielder Maurice didn't seem to be the only playmaker. His partner, Joey Barton, can also run the offense, resulting in a much less targeted defense.

before the game. He didn't care about Joey Barton at all.

Although Joey Barton has always been the main force of Manchester City, he is a very ordinary player, and he is also a marginal player in the England team-sometimes he can be included in the squad, and sometimes he will be eliminated. Such players are in the middle of England There are a lot of players, so Button is not worth paying too much attention to. In comparison, Morris as the core is definitely more threatening.

But David Moyes suddenly thought that when Keegan coached Manchester City, Joey Barton was the core midfielder of Manchester City!

Moyes feels a little dangerous to want that.

On the other hand, Wan Sheng has already raised his mouth. In fact, Manchester City is now playing a 'dual-core' tactic. When he was in Derby County, his 'dual-core' tactic was not perfect, because everyone habitually revolved around Mo. When Reese came to play the game, Peter Kennedy's ability was not enough, but after arriving at Manchester City, this problem was greatly alleviated - the core of Manchester City was originally Joey Barton!

Morris' ability is much better than Button's. Tactics are trained around him. After a long time, other players will adapt to it, but it does not mean that they have forgotten the feeling of working with Button, and Button's ability is not much worse. When the team is experimenting When 'dual core', there are not many problems encountered.

With Manchester City on the field now, the 'dual-core' tactic is not perfect, but it looks like Maurice and Button are in parallel midfield again, so Everton's defense is in trouble, when they go to defend When Morris was playing, Manchester City played with Button as the core point. On the contrary, Morris organized an offensive threat.

Their targeted defense is greatly weakened!

However, Everton's luck was not bad. Throughout the first half, Manchester City had a lot of chances but failed to score. Then in the second half, they found a new problem - when they were all unable to run, The Manchester City players on the opposite side were still running in high spirits.

They can't keep up.

In this way, their performance became more and more unable to keep up, and the performance gap between the two teams also widened. Finally, in the 73rd minute of the game, Sinclair, who was inserted on the wing, helped Manchester City score the leading goal. .

It was also the only goal of the game.

Although only one goal was scored, anyone who has watched the game knows that it is not surprising that Manchester City won. They suppressed Everton in all aspects, leaving the latter with no chance at all except for the opening game. .

The few goals are just because of bad luck. After all, in football, luck is still very important.

After the game, David Moyes took the initiative to find Wansheng to shake hands, and smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect you to go to Manchester City, your team is still so difficult to deal with!"

Wan Sheng smiled, "Is this a compliment!?"

"You're sarcastic."

"Thanks then." Wan Sheng didn't care at all.

Next, at the post-match press conference, David Moyes also sighed, "Now this Manchester City is very strong, after a game with them, I finally know why they have only drawn one game so far. Without a stronger Chelsea, they would definitely be No. 1 in the league!"

"I just want to say now that we are convinced that we lost!"

"Tactics, state, performance, everything, they completely suppressed us. It's just 1:0, but I don't think it's different from 10:0. We have no hope of winning in the whole game." (To be continued~^ ~)
