Chapter 102 Free Lessons

The Manchester City home game against Chelsea has entered the 70th minute.

The score shown on the scoreboard is 3:0. The home team Manchester City leads Chelsea by three goals. This kind of score makes people who first watch the game feel incredible. Chelsea is definitely the top team in the Premier League. This season, it looks very strong. There are many stars in the middle, and as a result... three balls were poured into it?

Even if it's not Stamford Bridge, you don't have to play like this!

By this time, everyone knew that Chelsea had little hope, let alone winning, they wanted to tie the game, and it was only a theoretical possibility.

However, Chelsea players did not give up. As the captain, John Terry was in a low mood, but he still shouted and told his teammates to cheer up. His teammates, the prestigious midfielder Frank Lampa in the team De is doing the same thing. He is more practical than Terry. Now he is using constant running and struggling to tell his teammates what to do.

Driven by the two, Chelsea regrouped and continued to fight with Manchester City.

With the outcome of the game already decided, Chelsea, the lagging side, played better than before. Perhaps this is also related to their mentality. Just now, they had been worrying about attacking and also worrying about the goal. Now they are all three behind Ball, what are you worried about? It makes no difference whether the opponent scores or not, so let go and kick!

Under this relaxed state of mind, Chelsea played better and better, and the game between the two teams became very intense. For a time, Manchester City could not play an effective suppression. As a result, in the 83rd minute of the game, Chelsea recovered one point. ball.

This is Lampard's corner kick. After the football chased the penalty area, it was pushed back by Koppelle Ferreira, and Lampard got the ball on the spot again. Then he completed a precise cross, and Mr. ‘Warcraft’ Drogba shook his head from eight meters in front of the goal and pushed the ball into the net accurately.

3:1.

After Chelsea scored this goal, no one cared. After all, there were only 10 minutes left in stoppage time. Chelsea are still two goals behind. It was a bit whimsical to catch up, but the Chelsea players didn't give up. Drogba, who scored a goal, didn't celebrate. He quickly ran into the goal and put the ball back on the center line, ready to kick off again.

The next game continued, Wan Sheng shouted to remind everyone to stabilize the defense, but it was difficult for Manchester City to play the previous suppression. Some players were clearly out of shape. It seems that everyone is waiting for the end of the game to celebrate the victory.

Seeing this situation, Wan Sheng frowned.

In the 90th minute of the game, the game changed dramatically, because Chelsea scored again, the ball was a bit lucky, Lampard made a high-hanging cross from 30 meters from the left and went straight to the back corner. Drogba and None of Terry's headers touched the ball, but goalkeeper James's realization was disturbed and he didn't see the football. As a result, the ball went straight into the far corner of the goal.

3:2.

It was Lampard's goal and his twelfth in the league. He was even about to catch up to Anelka and Henry, like George Woodgate exclaimed after seeing the goal, "Lampard's goal! He's a midfielder, but he's scored in the league. Chelsea has the most balls, maybe he has a chance to compete for the Premier League Golden Boot, his performance is really good!"

At the same time, he reminded Manchester City to be careful, "3:2, Manchester City's lead is only one goal left, maybe they should be more careful, otherwise Chelsea may really tie the score in the next time..."

Many people are also starting to worry about Manchester City.

This also includes Wansheng. Seeing Lampard's goal, Wansheng broke into a cold sweat. The goal just now was a bit lucky, but it was a goal anyway. Now Chelsea are only one goal behind, in stoppage time. With three minutes to go, they had a good chance of tying the score.

He anxiously began to command the defense with a shout, "Retreat, defense!"

"Pass the ball!"

"Look to the left! Left! There's a leak there!"

"..."

In the shouts of Wansheng, Manchester City's goal continued to be in crisis, and the Manchester City fans in the audience stopped cheering, but looked worriedly at the direction of their goal.

In the last three minutes of the game, Chelsea launched a frantic offensive. They gave up all defenses, and even the goalkeeper attacked and overwhelmed the midline. Fortunately, the reminder of Wansheng made the Manchester City players recover a little bit more seriously.

Fortunately, until the referee blew the end whistle, Manchester City still held the goal.

In the end, the two teams ended the game 3:2.

When the game was over, both the defeated Chelsea players and the victorious Manchester City players breathed in unison. After this battle, people felt physically and mentally exhausted. Now that it is finally over, they can relax a little bit.

......

Winning Chelsea, Manchester City's points advantage in the league became 4 points, which opened a relatively safe gap with Chelsea, but after the game, Wan Sheng's face did not show joy.

He was very dissatisfied with the team's final performance.

After the game, Wan Sheng didn't go to the press conference immediately, but went straight back to the team's locker room. When he walked in, there were still players yelling inside. Wan Sheng frowned and pushed away. the door.

Everyone in the room looked over and became much quieter.

Wan Sheng glanced at everyone, looked them in the eyes, and asked, "What's there to celebrate when we worked so hard to gain an advantage in 70 minutes, but almost lost it all in 20 minutes?"

Everyone was silent, and many people bowed their heads.

They were also a little ashamed thinking about their performance in the last 20 minutes. At that time, they all felt that the team would definitely win, so it would be good to pass the time slowly and wait for the end. score.

Wan Sheng looked at everyone, especially the expressions of the young players bowing their heads, and felt very satisfied. It is not easy for young people, especially those who have just won, to admit mistakes, but he still has to remind everyone. People can't be careless, "I told you more than once, a football game is 90 minutes, and we should not relax until the game is over!"

"I said before that you want to keep winning until the end of the game...but you're only halfway there!"

"Fortunately we won now, 3-2. Nice result, but think about the last three minutes, how did you feel? Yes, that was dangerous, they almost tied!"

"If they are tied. We lose the game. They must be happy because they didn't even have any hope of winning before. This is what we gave them 'generously'."

"We won the game, but I hope you remember the last 20 minutes, it's a 'free' lesson."

......

After Wansheng's remarks, the team's excitement of winning was diluted a lot, and then each player sorted out their own things. There was no further celebration.

Both Diamares and Pierce felt that Wansheng was going too far. After all, the team won the game, especially with Chelsea, the team had reason to celebrate, but Wan Sheng said solemnly, "I have to remind them, because we have more than one game to play!"

He did say that on purpose.

Not just for this game, but for the team as a whole, and it's good to win the game. The team played pretty well up front, if not the last 20 minutes. The team's performance can be described as perfect, Chelsea are not opponents at all... But this is not entirely good news, Wansheng is fortunate to have those 'dangerous' twenty minutes, although dangerous, but finally victory Now, danger has become a 'free' lesson.

Lessons are not all free, such as the 'Istanbul Night' created by Liverpool, AC Milan has learned a lesson, they know that in the Champions League, a three-goal lead in the first half is not 100% to win the final victory, but They paid for it with a Champions League trophy.

This lesson is painful.

Manchester City won this game, so the lesson is obtained for 'free', and there is a 'lesson' without paying, which is actually a very good thing.

Wansheng has been worried about the team's mentality.

He didn't worry about this issue before, because Manchester City is just a 'top powerhouse in the Premier League'. The powerhouses are not better than the giants, but they can play the best results, so the mentality of the whole team is no problem. The mentality of a strong team'.

But now it's different.

Manchester City has been sitting on the top spot in the league for too long. Before, the media would think that Chelsea was stronger, but after this game? It is estimated that it will be touted to Manchester City in the future.

In this case, how will the team's mentality change?

Everyone already knows that the team is a strong team. After defeating Chelsea, they will almost certainly think that the team is the strongest in the league, but this is a bit arrogant. If you put aside the preparations for the game, just talk about the strength of the team , Manchester City are not that strong. If there is another game, it is difficult to say who will win and who will lose. Therefore, the mentality of 'first' is a bit high, and even a bit arrogant. This mentality will make the team careless and will definitely affect In the later state, especially against a tough team, if you can't play an advantage, the player's mentality may be out of balance.

This is an issue that needs to be taken seriously, so Wansheng has to pour cold water on the team and remind them to take every game seriously.

......

Just as Wansheng and the two assistant coaches were talking about team problems, the media reporters had already obtained the statistics of the game, and they were all surprised by the statistics of Manchester City, because it was simply too gorgeous.

In terms of ball control alone, Manchester City achieved 70% of the game!

In other words, 70% of the time, the football is controlled by the Manchester City players, while Chelsea is only 30%, which is a considerable gap, even more than double, often there is this kind of possession In a game with a gap, the strength gap between the two sides will be very large, but this is a game between Manchester City and Chelsea. One league is first, the other is second, and the second league is still smooth all the way in the Champions League. No matter how it is calculated, it will not be so big. difference.

But the stats are there, it's the truth, Manchester City beat Chelsea on the ball.

"This is the reason for Manchester City's tactics." A professional retired star analyzed after the game, "Their tactics are mainly based on control, keeping the ball firmly under their feet. It is difficult for Chelsea to deal with this style of play. Conversely, if Chelsea have a lot of the ball, which means City must be not playing well."

This analysis has been recognized by many people.

At the same time, more people began to analyze Manchester City's tactics. They found that Manchester City's style of play was still the same as 'killing', but the focus was on control, so on the surface, it seemed that the style had changed a lot, and finally there were commentators. Concluded, "Manchester City played so unexpectedly, Chelsea were unprepared for it, and that's why they were suppressed."

Although the outside world has a thorough analysis of Manchester City and the game, this does not prevent the media reporters from being interested in Manchester City. There are a lot of people paying attention to this focus battle, and Manchester City won the final victory, they have reason to get more attention.

This is different from before the game.

Before the game, the media analyzed the situation of the two teams. When analyzing the game, they paid more attention to Chelsea. They believed that Chelsea had a higher winning rate. Many stars in the Chelsea lineup were also one of the reasons for the attention. In comparison, Manchester City was worse. Quite a few, the only stars that can be talked about in the array are Maurice and Anelka, the latter is only a 'preparation' for Domenech's French team. In short, Manchester City received far less attention before the game than Chelsea.

Now when Wan Sheng appeared at the press conference venue, he felt a change. Many of the reporters around Mourinho turned to him, and other media reporters rushed up to surround him.

The enthusiasm of the media reporters for him was obviously higher than that of Mourinho, which made Wansheng feel a sense of pride and satisfaction.

So with the smile of a winner, he said to many media reporters, "I said before, this is a game for us that can only be won but not lost, so..." He continued indifferently. ,"we won."

This reminded some media reporters of what Wansheng said before the game. He used "hiding cars on the road" to explain that "victory is what the team must do", there is no reason, only the result.

Hearing Wan Sheng say this, the Manchester City media felt very happy, and the neutral media also thought it was very interesting to describe it, but the media supporting Chelsea felt unhappy, and immediately a London reporter couldn't help but asked back, "What do you mean? Said, the game that must be won is guaranteed to be won? Then why do you think that this game is not a must for Chelsea?”

Then he explained, "If Chelsea can win, they can surpass Manchester City in points and occupy the first place in the league..."

When he finished speaking, he found that Wan Sheng was looking at him with the eyes of an idiot, he understood and his face turned red.

Before he could say anything, Wan Sheng replied indifferently, "We won."

"What?" He didn't understand.

"I said, the result of the game was 3:2, we won, Chelsea lost the game." Wan Sheng explained seriously, and other reporters who responded laughed along with them.

The result of the game was 3:2, Manchester City won, so what else can Chelsea say? The stage after the game always belongs to the winner!

Not to mention that Mourinho's position is already empty, the Portuguese left early when Wansheng arrived.

Then another reporter asked about the last 20 minutes, which was very dangerous for Manchester City, and Chelsea almost tied the score.

However, Wansheng was not as serious as he said to the players, but said completely indifferently, "If they can perform as well as they did in the end, I think the victory should belong to them. But football games can't last forever. Stay in shape, 90 minutes is the whole game, so we won." He was saying the exact opposite of what he said in the locker room.

This is Wansheng's attitude.

In dealing with the team, we must always maintain a serious attitude, but no matter what happens externally, we will praise and support the team and players.

This is the attitude of a successful coach. (To be continued ~^~)
