Chapter 163 The Definition of Success

As early as 20 years ago, Bergkamp represented Ajax in the Eredivisie.

20 years later, he has seen all kinds of wind and rain, the only thing that remains unchanged is the enjoyment of the cheers from the fans.

For Bergkamp, ​​fans have cheered so many times in his life that he can't even count them, but he still enjoys it.

It was Arsenal fans cheering for him before, Dutch fans cheering for him, and now it's Manchester City fans.

He enjoyed the feeling.

Hearing the enthusiastic cheers in his ears, he felt that it was right to play one more season. Coming here is a new beginning, maybe a good end?

Bergkamp shook his head with a wry smile, it's still too early to think about this.

...

Wan Sheng is also watching Bergkamp, ​​and he is looking forward to Bergkamp's performance.

It's not that he expects Bergkamp to really give full play to his full strength. That's unrealistic. After all, Bergkamp is already old. strength.

Wansheng only hopes that Bergkamp can bring a little change to Manchester City's frontcourt. His experience is not comparable to ordinary people, and this is precisely what the team lacks the most.

More importantly, there are too many young people on the team.

Perhaps in the lower leagues, or a powerhouse in the Premier League, this is nothing. Tactics, fighting spirit, player ability, etc. can all make up for the problem of experience, but the team has already stood at the top of the Premier League and has to Facing the more competitive Champions League.

Compared with the real giant teams, the team's tactics, fighting spirit, and player ability have no advantages, so youth has become a big problem.

Younger means less experience, less experience makes mistakes easily in the game, and even in the same tactical fight, whether experienced or not will directly affect the effect.

So Wansheng expects Bergkamp to bring something to the team.

...

But even if Wansheng had expectations for Bergkamp, ​​he didn't expect Bergkamp to play so well!

Bergkamp replaces David Silva. But he is definitely not comparable to David Silva in terms of energy, running range, confrontation, etc., he can no longer be compared with young people, in addition, his time in the team is not long. The tactical understanding and execution are certainly not as good as the old Manchester City players. But the key to the problem is here. After Bergkamp played, the threat posed by the team's front field increased significantly.

Five minutes, just five minutes, City created five good chances in front of goal.

Two of them are due to Bergkamp's personal credit. He sent a shell to Darren Bent and his partner Joey Barton in front, and the other three were good opportunities. Also has a lot to do with Bergkamp. It was his key passing that gave others the opportunity to go further.

For a time, the Chinese team was in danger in front of the door!

"Darren Bent's shot! Missed... unfortunately..."

"Ivan Kru! Volley!"

"Wow... there is still a chance! Bergkamp stepped forward! Failed to grab... Button! Button! Make-up shot! Goal scored! Goal scored! Goal scored!"

"Gooooal! Manchester City's third goal, from Joey Button!"

"..."

Then the audience cheered for the goal, and the commentator also praised Manchester City's performance during this period, but the focus of his words was on Joey Barton, who scored the goal, and he also felt that this period was Manchester City's overall offensive performance. Even better, the Chinese team's defense was very flustered for a while, which brought so many opportunities.

But Wan Sheng looked at Bergkamp.

From a coach's point of view. It is undoubtedly Bergkamp who has brought changes to the team's frontcourt offense. Bergkamp doesn't get the ball many times, and it doesn't really attract attention in the frontcourt. But he was always in the right position and played a key passing role.

For example, just now, Morris came in behind, Bergkamp passed the ball at the right time, and Morris had the opportunity to push forward to Ivan Crewe.

Why not David Silva?

Wansheng knew some reasons.

The midfield and frontcourt position is not like the wing, it is more about cooperation and movement. If you run out of space or find a good position, it will be easy for the team to find opportunities. In comparison, personal skills and abilities are on the contrary. It's not that important. In comparison, David Silva is younger and has excellent skills, but he still can't be like the world's top stars. He has both skills and experience. Many times he doesn't run in key positions. , After receiving the pass, perhaps due to the limitations of the overall situation, he could not make the most effective pass.

All in all, David Silva is still too young.

Of course, he also has his own advantages, that is, physical fitness and technology. He also has some advantages in confrontation, but currently, what he lacks the most is experience.

Wan Sheng walked up to Silva and reminded him, "David, look at Dennis, that will be very helpful to you."

David Silva nodded.

He is a serious player. After coming to Manchester City, he also felt his rapid growth. Now he has the main position in the frontcourt, but he is not arrogant enough to be better than anyone else. Bergkamp can completely As the object of his study, he is very clear that if he wants to improve himself, he not only needs to do more training, but also needs to absorb more experience.

Seeing David Silva's serious look, Wan Sheng also nodded with satisfaction.

He hopes that David Silva can grow up as soon as possible, so that he can be the backbone of the team's frontcourt, and he also has this purpose in bringing David Silva to Manchester City.

He also noticed Ozil next to him.

Ozil is a newcomer to the team and has great potential. It is still difficult for him to play for Manchester City, but Wansheng can already see his rapid improvement.

But in fact, Ozil is different from David Silva. Perhaps players who grew up in Germany have certain inherent thinking. They are the best executors of tactics, but they lack some personal creativity. A little bit can be found in Ozil.

He is not as creative as David Silva, but he is not bad at all in terms of personal technical talent. His future is not in Bergkamp, ​​so Wansheng asked him to pay attention to the movement of Joey Barton. and play.

"You have to pay more attention to Joey!" Wan Sheng walked up to Ozil and said to him, "Joey's skills are not that good, but his running is very good, and he is also very good at using his physical advantages, Come and get your chance." That's the good thing about Joey Barton.

"But I believe you can be better, your talent is better, and I believe your future performance will not be inferior to Joey."

Ozil nodded sharply.

Wan Sheng's words are not very encouraging. After all, the whole team knows that the core of the team is Morris, and only David Silva can really be the main force in the frontcourt, and Joey Barton is still young. He is also the old man of the team, but his main position is not stable.

But compared to Ozil, it is very encouraging, because Ozil is just a young player, and even he knows that it is difficult to have much playing time in the new season. After all, he has just become a professional player, and he still lacks too much experience. It also takes a long time to adapt to the team's tactics.

Ozil was full of excitement.

He was transferred from Manchester City Club, and Wan Sheng didn't say anything to him personally. After he came to Manchester City, because he had no communication with the head coach, he was also very uneasy. He didn't know his position in the team. It was the first time that Wan Sheng had spoken to him alone. After listening to these words, he realized that the coach had such high expectations for him.

Joey Barton?

For him, it was indeed a good target.

Immediately, Ozil has great expectations for the future. Now his purpose is to occupy a position in the team, a position is good, even if it is a substitute, only the first step can lead to the second step. Sooner or later, he will become the ball. The absolute main force of the team.

Just like David Silva.

...

While Wansheng encouraged the players, the game on the field continued.

After Bergkamp played, Joey Barton helped Manchester City score in the sixth minute, and then Manchester City slowed down the pace of attack. After all, it is very physical and energy-consuming to always attack heavily.

Soon the time was up to 70 minutes in the second half.

Although Manchester City is not too anxious to attack, their rhythm is still not suitable for ordinary teams. The fast interspersed running and the sudden acceleration of the attack method make the Chinese team very uncomfortable. After so long in the game, When Manchester City stepped up its attack, there were still players who couldn't keep up, resulting in repeated loopholes in the Chinese team's defense in the backcourt.

In the 74th minute, full-back Lescott found an opportunity and helped Manchester City score the fourth goal with a volley in front of the penalty area.

After the goal, Manchester City deliberately slowed down the pace, and the Chinese team could also breathe a sigh of relief.

Perhaps the most helpless thing for them is not the score. To put it bluntly, how many goals they scored is only because their defense is not good, but they are under more pressure on offense. For example, now Manchester City has slowed down the rhythm, the result of football Part of the time was still under the control of Manchester City, and they didn't have much effect when they stepped up to fight. Even if they had a chance to get the ball, it was difficult to play too far ahead.

That feeling is really hopeless.

They kind of understand why this Manchester City team beat the mighty Chelsea and Manchester United to win the league title last season. In front of this Manchester City team, they really have no chance at all.

This is the best team in the world!

Many players recalled the evaluation of Sun Jihai by the domestic media last year. "Mediocre is also a success."

At the time, many people were undecided about this analysis, but now they find that this evaluation is really correct.

The opposite Manchester City is too strong, to be a member of such a strong team is definitely a success. (To be continued ~^~)
