Chapter 665: A Compulsory Course for a Great Leader
For this match, Mancini takes it very seriously. ☆◇ ▽☆☆Tomato Novels -''.-f-q-x'
Or it could be understood as his desire to lead Manchester City to make a difference in the Champions League.
When Mancini coached Inter Milan, although he led Inter Milan to dominate the Serie A league, it is often commented that this is because the other giants of the Serie A league have been greatly weakened after the phone goal, and the implication is not how strong Mancini's coaching ability is, but because the opponent is too weak. Moreover, they have a strong proof of Mancini's weakness in the Champions League.
To add insult to Mancini's embarrassment, his successor, Jose Mourinho, led Inter Milan to the top of Europe in two seasons, which was seen by some as evidence that Mancini's team was not good at European competition.
Therefore, in this game, Mancini is vowing to lead Manchester City to eliminate Roma and enter the quarterfinals.
He thought about the words in his head and tried to make sure the players understood what he meant as quickly as possible.
Mancini put the tactics board on the table, he knocked on the table to get everyone's attention, and then said, "The first half was very tempo, we both had a good tempo in attack and defence, and now everyone can see it. Roma's tactics are the kind of attacking swarms, and when defending, they are not slow to return. Against such a team, this requires us to be more efficient in attack, and more vigilant in defending, without the slightest slackness. Otherwise, there is no regret medicine to take. Mancini pointed to himself and to his players.
'In the second half, we have to try to score again, we are playing away and it is important to score away goals. Of course, when defending, you need the whole team to pay attention. Roma's attack is a wolf pack attack, so you must be extra vigilant when defending, any hole in the point can cause irreparable results. ”
The crowd nodded. Mancini is a former Inter Milan manager, and he must be familiar with Italian teams such as Roma, and the coach's analysis must be correct.
"Finally, I would say, don't think about the 1-0 scoreline, it's not a safe score for us, the Roma only need one goal to knock us out, so I want everyone to put in more effort in the second half!
Everyone nodded, Mancini's words were the most objective, although the Romans got a 2-2 advantage in Manchester, but a draw is a draw, as long as Manchester City wins this game, it will definitely advance!
The fifteen minutes of the intermission passed quickly. □▽○ Tomato ☆ Small ○ Say Net '--.- f'q'x-s--.com
On the pitch, both sides of the game have already stood up, just waiting for the referee to blow the whistle.
'The second half is about to start and Roma will definitely step up their attack in the second half, they have to score. Lineker said.
'For Manchester City, they shouldn't be conservative in the second half either, and at Roma's home stadium it's clearly not a tactic to be admired. "What's more, they still have Yang Fan, a star of this level who can score goals, you have to make an article on offense, otherwise it's a waste." ”
When the whistle blew at the start of the second half, the stands at the Stadio Olimpico erupted in cheers from Roma fans cheering on their team.
Roma fans were confident that the team would come back from defeat, but even their own fans did not expect the second half of the game to go so well.
Just three minutes into the second half, Burdisso forced another break down the right flank, and this time Kolarov quickly posted it.
Burdisso took a few steps and suddenly passed the ball, and Tadei, who received the ball, did not hesitate and crossed directly.
The ball drew an arc and flew towards the goal by bypassing Kolarov's feet, who had come up to defend in a hurry!
It was a low pass that made it difficult for both defenders and goalkeepers to handle.
Borriello saw Burdisso's pass and rushed forward, intending to steal the spot.
Kompany followed him closely, not letting him make easy moves.
Joe Hart dived to block the cross.
None of them touched the football, the ball crossed in front of the goal, and as it was about to cross the goal, a player in a red jersey rushed up and almost rolled into the goal with the ball!
Tadei biography...... It's Roma's chance! Borriello appeared in front of goal, he bumped into Kompany, nobody touched the football, etc...... goooooooa1!goal scored!Vucinić!!he scored the equalizer!
"Gooooooooa1!Vucinic!All the Manchester City people were attracted to Borriello's insertion, they actually missed another Vucinic! Roma's attack paid off so quickly, you know, it was only the first attack of the Roma team in the second half! They scored, and now the score is 1-1!"
The Romans celebrated the goal in a frenzy. Tomato -''.'f'q'x-s'
Roma equalised, Ranieri was happy but not an emotional coach, he had a smile on his face and he just walked to the sidelines and applauded his disciples. If it were some very passionate coaches, such a crucial goal, and they wouldn't have to run to celebrate.
Mancini frowned, although he had considered Roma's possible equaliser, but when Roma did equalize, it still gave him a headache.
Mancini looked inside the stadium with a frown. It was a goal that gave Roma the equaliser, and the key was to score so early and let Roma score shortly after the start of the second half, which also allowed Roma to regain their confidence. The rest of the games will not be good for Manchester City.
Now Rome's morale is booming and the limelight is gaining momentum. How will City respond?
Mancini was thinking about how City would respond in the upcoming game, and finally, he decided to avoid Roma's attacking momentum and hold on until their momentum had passed.
He walked to the sideline and made a gesture to drop back to the defense.
Ranieri noticed Mancini's gesture and understood what he meant, Manchester City was afraid of Roma's attack, and he realized that this was Rome's best opportunity, and if he couldn't seize it, then the first thing he couldn't forgive was himself.
Chase while you win!
So with a wave of his big hand, he pressed the whole line and bet on whether he could win the game for a while!
In Ranieri's view, although the score of 1 to 1 can ensure that the Roma team advances, it is not a safe score, Manchester City only needs one goal to change everything! And the biggest strength of the Roma team is their offensive ability, since the team's offensive momentum is very good now, of course, they still have to continue to attack.
On the other hand, the reason why Mancini let the team temporarily retreat to defend is also out of fear of Roma's wolf pack tactics. ▽ Tomato◇ ''.
Roma's players faithfully executed the manager's tactics and continued to attack, in fact, this is also the favorite of Roma players, who are attacking in their bones.
This is Manchester City just completed a long-range shot by Yang Fan, Doni pounced on the ball for the first time, however, his second reaction was quick, pounced on the football under him, and then Doni got up and threw the ball to Mex, who took two steps and passed the ball out.
After receiving Mex's pass, Burdisso began to dribble along the flank, and after a wall-to-wall link with Perrotta, he faced Kolarov again.
Kolarov previously played for Serie A side Lazio, so Burdisso and Kolarov are also old rivals, and the two have played against each other many times. There are two Roma derbies in Serie A every season alone.
Burdisso tries to break through Kolarov.
However, Kolarov was prepared, and he made a very vicious tackle that swept Burdisso off the touchline.
The referee's whistle blew and Roma was awarded a free-kick.
This upset Burdisso because the referee did not give Kolarov a card.
The referee ignored Burdisso's protests.
In the end, the referee had to come over and threaten to pull out the card, and sternly warned Burdisso, who was suspected of disrespecting the referee, who was considered to be stupid.
Roma's free-kick, Pizarro ran over to take the free-kick.
His cross was too low and was headed out by Kolarov at the front post.
Pizarro moved to the right to organise the attack, but Kolarov cut the ball off and gave it to David Silva in front.
Manchester City switched from defending to attacking in an instant, and David Silva did not dribble the ball. Instead, he directly passed the football to Yang Fan in the front court.
Yang Fan rushed with the ball, and now there are only two people in the frontcourt, he and Dzeko, and more teammates have returned to their own half to participate in the defense, Manchester City has not invested enough troops in attack in recent times, so they can only rely on themselves. ☆Tomato ''-.-f-q-x's-'.-c'o-m'
Max came up to keep an eye on Yang Fan.
Yang Fan knew that Mexes wanted to entangle himself to buy time for his players to come over and close in, so he didn't entangle with Mex.
Yang Fan gave the football to Dzeko, who came up, and then continued to run forward. Dzeko took two steps and passed the ball out. The target is Yang Fan, who is running in front.
Yang Fan added a fierce addition and temporarily shook off Mex. In the case of running without the ball, Mexs will never be able to win against Yang Fan.
Yang Fan unloaded Dzeko's pass well in the run, and at this time, Mexes had just caught up from behind. He was going to reach out and push Yang Fan to interfere with his next move. Unexpectedly, Yang Fan's body shrank and changed direction, knocking the football to the side. made him push into the air, but almost stumbled and fell to the ground.
Evading the angle and the vacancy, Yang Fan immediately hit the door directly, he was not willing to take a few more steps. Then wait for Max to come up and stick to him.
Yang Fan shot very tricky, and the football flew towards the bottom corner of the goal near the turf with a ball on the turf.
This kind of boccia ball is the goalkeeper's least favorite, Roma goalkeeper Doni did not dare to be careless, he stretched his leg to block the football, and the football was then kicked out of the bottom line by Juan, who rushed over.
Yang Fan saw that the football was pounced by Doni, he jumped to his feet in annoyance, and then turned his head to see Mex's gloomy face, in the many confrontations between the two today, Yang Fan fully gained the upper hand. Let's put it this way, Mexes can't guard Yang Fan at all, and the reason why Yang Fan has only scored one goal so far is that the goalkeeper of the Roma team Donei performed bravely today, and the role of a good goalkeeper is precisely that a goalkeeper who suddenly went crazy in a game is this.
Yang Fan looked at Mex's gloomy face, and he squeezed his eyes at the other party, who snorted angrily.
Yang Fan was happy in his heart.
This French defender has a bad temper...... Yang Fan suddenly had an idea.
Manchester City's corner.
David Silva's corner kick into the penalty area, Yang Fan's header was ferried, but Dzeko's subsequent header smashed directly to the ground, which had the effect of causing chaos in the penalty area.
"Oooo
"Mex, he's done a meritorious service!"
After blocking Yang Fan's hidden stabbing shot, Mex's heart was so happy that he swung his fist hard and deliberately yelled at Yang Fan.
Yang Fan didn't seem to be angry, he glanced at Max, but smiled. The smile was very cheap, which made the French defender who had just completed the key defense in a bad mood, but was a little panicked by Yang Fan's smile.
Hell, what is this guy going to do? Mexs couldn't figure out what Yang Fan was thinking.
City then stopped Roma's attack at the back, and they turned to attack in an attempt to play a quick counter-attack.
Zabaleta took a big step forward and dribbled forward, and when Vucinic saw this, he immediately came up to counter-attack and prevent Manchester City from playing a quick counter-attack.
Vucinic's physicality was great, explosive, and he caught up with Zabaleta's pace, and he decisively took a tactical foul, grabbed Zabaleta's shirt, and pulled the opponent to the ground.
The tactical foul was so obvious that the referee couldn't have turned a blind eye.
"Vucinic tactical foul, he brought down Zabaleta!"
The referee blew the whistle and he showed Vucinic a yellow card.
Ranieri applauded from the sidelines, applauding Vucinic's decisive tactical foul.
Manchester City quickly took a free kick, Yaya Toure immediately made a long pass, he was looking for Yang Fan. Just now, Yang Fan raised his hand in front of him, and at the same time shouted loudly, signaling Yaya Toure to take a free kick quickly, and he moved to attack quickly.
Yaya Toure's pass was very fast and very accurate, and the football crossed most of the court and came to Yang Fan's body accurately.
As soon as Yang Fan stopped the ball, Mex's task today was to defend Yang Fan, and he was almost inseparable from Yang Fan.
It should be said that Mex's snatching was fast enough, but he immediately showed that Yang Fan was faster than him, and he saw Yang Fan **** Put the football pad, deliberately put the football pad away from his body, and at the same time a vertical plus, he used the degree to rush past Mex, and on the other hand, Mex, he is still an old problem, or too anxious, he tried to complete the interception as soon as possible, so that the robbery was too fierce, for Yang Fan's action, Mexs was obviously not prepared, and could only watch Yang Fan pass by the side, striding to catch up with the football.
Fortunately, Reese came to fill in the position, and a fierce-looking tackle shoveled the football out of the sideline, and also put Yang Fan to the ground by the way.
Mexes gave a thumbs up to Reese and thanked his teammates for the fill-in.
Yang Fan got up, and he shook his finger at Max, meaning that you can't do it.
Mex's face became ugly, and he was about to come over to find Yang Fan to theorize, but was pulled by Reese.
"Dude, don't be fooled. Reese said in Mex's ear.
Mex's face was red and his neck was thick, and he answered, and glanced at Yang Fan viciously.
Yang Fan laughed, he was disturbed by Lise, it's okay, let's come again.
When the commentator Lineker saw this scene, he shouted like the new big 6, "Look, look, Yang Fan, who was previously considered to be short-tempered and often deliberately provoked by opponents, is now deliberately provoking Mex, he must have deliberately provoked the French, haha, I see this as the maturity of the Manchester City captain, that's right." ”
His commentary partner Mortenson was also very happy, "Yang Fan is becoming more and more cunning now, he is not only able to control his temper better, but also wants to profit by provoking his opponents, this is really - after becoming the captain, Yang Fan's progress is huge, he is working more and more like a great leader!"
"How to provoke your opponent in a game is also one of the compulsory lessons of a great leader. Lineker said humorously, "Let's see how Yang Fan's homework is today." ”
The two commentators didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, and they started to make a fuss, and in front of the TV, the fans also followed, so the next time the Manchester City team attacked, the football reached Yang Fan's feet, and it was Mexes who defended Yang Fan, and the fans shouted.
"Past him!"
"Trick him!"
It's the Manchester City fans shouting.
"Stop him!"
"Shovel him!" was the Roma fan shouting.
The camera also follows the ball taker and the interceptor.
