Chapter 247 What's Wrong?

Wansheng's confident attitude left the media completely confused.

Is this young Chinese really confident, or is he just trying to show confidence? Was the previous sentence 'intellectual delusion' because of anger, or was it really arrogant?

Many media do not understand.

However, Bolton coach Allardyce is still very confident in the game after learning Wansheng's statement, because he can't think of a reason why Manchester City must win. At the same time, he feels very angry, obviously the game is at the Reebok Stadium. , is Bolton's home, obviously in the first round, Manchester City did not have much advantage. Why is that young Chinese showing such a 'win-win' attitude!

This is pure provocation!

Allardyce held his breath and wanted to prove himself and the team, and let everyone see if his team could get points.

"In this game, we must get at least one point!"

In the locker room before the game, Allardyce's voice was sonorous and powerful, "You should know what the other party said, they actually think that we want to get points is 'wishful thinking'? This is Reebok Stadium! Now you should know how Do it!"

Every Bolton player nodded firmly.

What happened before the game, the media said it clearly, all of them knew. In fact, they want to be like Allardyce, Manchester City's results are good, but in the last leg at the Manchester Stadium, they lost 'a little bit wrongly', it can only be said that Manchester City has better luck, so now go back to the Reebok Stadium , they all think the team has a chance to win.

Thinking that Manchester City have won seven games in a row and are unbeaten in the league, they want to win even more.

How wonderful to beat such a team!

While using words to improve the team's fighting spirit, Allardyce also warned about some things in the game. It is only basic to fight fiercely with the opponent and to carry out tough defense. The previous round of the game has already done so, which cannot completely limit Manchester City. . So he gave special advice to the team's defense.

In this game, as long as the result, not the process!

Playing against Manchester City at the Reebok Stadium, as long as the team can get a point, but how ugly the game is. The fans and the team are totally okay with it. So Allardyce doesn't need to consider whether the ball looks good or not at all. Their main task is to defend the goal and seek goals on this basis.

————

Soon the game will start.

All Bolton players play with belief. In their belief, the first thing is to keep the goal firm!

They took everything coach Allardyce said to heart, and everyone was desperately blocking and defending, even at the cost of a little less attack. They believe it is the only way to do it. The possibility of winning is the greatest. It is conceivable how tight Bolton's defense was at the beginning.

As the media commentator said, "In a game with Manchester City, defense must be done, otherwise once Manchester City is in a state, it will be difficult to stop it."

"Allardyce is right to have the team focus on the defense first, they have to do that to have any hope of winning."

"Like the last game. Use tough scramble and defense to limit Manchester City's offense. Over time, Manchester City players can't find their form, which is Bolton's opportunity. This is also the way that many teams will choose to deal with Manchester City."

Nothing has changed for Manchester City.

The tactic is still the same. The starting lineup is almost the same as the media guessed. The only difference is that David Beckham replaced Ivan Crewe as the starting right midfielder, and Ivan Crew went to the front. Anelka partnered with two strikers.

This small personnel adjustment has not been placed in the eyes of the media and fans.

It was a bit of a surprise that Beckham would represent Manchester City in the first league game. Many media speculated that Wansheng may choose to make Beckham appear as a substitute for the first time. After all, Beckham has just joined Manchester City. to ten days.

But this adjustment is nothing, the starter and the substitute are all appearances, but the form and time are different.

Ivan Crew's position adjustment is nothing, because he is a "versatile player" in the frontcourt, and has appeared in the striker position a few times, which is not much to say.

However, Beckham's starting appearance made the media and fans even more delighted. This is not for Manchester City, but for Beckham himself. As a 'heartbeat' all over the world, Beckham's approval rate in England is unimaginable.

Even among the Bolton fans on the scene, there are many 'Beckham supporters'.

Some Bolton fans standing in the front row couldn't help cheering for Beckham before the opening, while those in the back row just smiled and didn't say much.

This shows how popular Beckham is.

But when the game really started, this kind of voice disappeared. In any case, Beckham represented Manchester City, and now he is Bolton's opponent on the field.

————

In the constant discussion between the media and fans, the game time quickly passed 15 minutes.

As expected by the media, in the 15 minutes, Manchester City did not get any good chances due to Bolton's tight defense.

The two teams fought fiercely on the field!

Due to the overall technical ability and tactics, Manchester City still has the advantage on the scene. Most of the time the football is also under Manchester City's control, but Bolton's tight defense is enough to deal with these attacks. To the front of the penalty area, this kind of defense can be described as a 'crowd tactics', and any team in the world will feel a headache.

The same goes for Manchester City, where the only shot in the 15 minutes was from Lescott.

Although Manchester City had an advantage on the scene, the media commentators all believed that the game was more favorable to Bolton, because Manchester City did not play the advantage of 'want', and the few shots also proved that they felt powerless against Bolton's defense.

Bolton have not attacked so far, but they had a quick counterattack and hit the ball into the Manchester City penalty area.

This kind of opportunity can be created once in the whole game, which may be enough to decide the outcome of the game.

So over time, the media is more optimistic about Bolton.

Sky TV's George Woodgate analyzed, "If Manchester City can't open the frontcourt for a long time, then their players are likely to feel impatient. Continuing this state is very unfavorable to Manchester City, they must Find a way to break through the defense in the frontcourt."

The on-site commentator Brown cheered loudly for the team's defense, "Our players are working hard, as long as they persevere. The victory must be ours! Come on for our boys!"

only. Manchester City did not show the 'restlessness' that the public imagined.

They still maintain a stable offensive and stable control, and they don't seem to be in a hurry to open up the situation. Some players in the frontcourt still seem to be playing well, intentionally starting some personal breakthroughs.

Among them, Morris and Downing are the most.

Now Manchester City's starting 11 races, Morris and Tangning have the strongest breakthrough ability. Morris relies on extremely outstanding and stable foot skills and experience. Tangning relied on speed. The two continue to make breakthroughs in the frontcourt, which can still cause trouble for Bolton's defense.

At the same time, this kind of breakthrough is also very eye-catching. When Manchester City fans were secretly anxious for the team to find a way to break through the dense defense, they could not help cheering when they saw the wonderful breakthrough of Morris and Tangning.

Another player who attracts attention is David Silva. Silva's breakthrough ability is not comparable to the above two, but he occasionally bursts out. His explosiveness is unmatched by ordinary players. The same startup Silva will always be faster than others.

He's more of a way to throw off defenders.

In the face of the constant impact of these three people with the ball, Bolton players feel a headache. But they know what to do with it, and that is tougher defense.

You are not trying to break through! Just hit it!

have you passed? Pull the jersey!

Do you change tricks to show off your skills? Straight tackle!

Three ways, simple and direct.

Just like the coach Allardyce said before the game, "How to limit Manchester City's offensive, how to stop them, and disrupt their attacking rhythm, then do it!" Bolton players are insisting on implementation. what the coach said.

The game scene also became more hot.

While the two sides are fighting hard, the number of fouls is increasing, and the number of times the referee blows the whistle to suspend the game is also increasing. Seeing this situation, Allardyce feels that 'the game has entered the expected rhythm'. This kind of game is definitely for Bolton. It is advantageous because their tactical play is very simple and will not be affected by the rhythm chaos, while Manchester City is different. Manchester City play offensive football, continuous coordination is very important, the game is suspended again and again, they are difficult. Status found.

The fact is as expected. In the fierce confrontation, Manchester City could hardly play a decent and smooth cooperation in the frontcourt. As a result, the only way to endanger Bolton's goal turned into a set-piece.

In the 24th minute, Manchester City got a set kick that was a little far away. Ivan Crewe took the penalty. He chose to pass to the teammate who grabbed the point. As a result, the football was directly pushed out of the sideline by Bolton defender Garnard.

Immediately three minutes later, at the corner of the penalty area on the left, Bolton forward Dolan pushed to Morris, the referee awarded the ball to Manchester City again, and Beckham stepped forward to make a free throw. Many people were looking forward to Beckham's free throw, but The angle of the ball was too small, and Beckham's shot flew directly over the baseline.

————

When Beckham took a free throw, Bolton coach Allardy frowned suddenly. He suddenly felt something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong.

There's definitely not much chance of this ball.

You can tell by looking at the position that it is not a good shot. Even David Beckham, who is good at free throws, is estimated to have to rely on God to make free throws.

Sure enough, the football was kicked out of bounds.

This result is not unexpected, but Allardyce still feels that something is not right. He can't grasp this, so he can't help but look to the other side of the Manchester City coaching bench.

The young Chinese sat there with an expressionless face, not knowing what he was thinking.

Allardyce was even more puzzled.

Does the opponent not worry about the game at all? Or did he just give up the game and didn't want to take the three-pointer at Reebok? (To be continued ~^~)
