Chapter 036: Mancini's Choice!

Mancini after seeing Yang Fan's performance. also nodded, Yang Fan did a very good job, a team has such a captain, it really saves the head coach a lot of worry......

Mesut Ozil's corner flew straight in front of goal, and this time, Hart opted to attack, only to see him soar into the air and take the ball straight under the trap of Ramos and Benzema.

Hart, who was hugging the football, yelled hard, which was indeed very uplifting.

The captain's scolding just now made the whole Manchester City team come out of the stunned state just now, which is not easy.

Manchester City temporarily returned to normal under the sudden roar of captain Yang Fan.

However, Mancini knows that if a solution is not come up with sooner rather than later, City will be in disarray. At that time, once Real Madrid scores, Yang Fan will not have any effect even if he shouts his throat. Morale is very important on the pitch as on the battlefield.

As a manager, you have to come up with a way to give the players a clear direction to work towards, and then you can better adjust the morale of the team.

Five minutes had passed, and City were playing with Real Madrid with a fighting spirit aroused by the captain's shouting.

What do you do? give up attacking, defend all, play defense and counterattack?

Or is it to play against Real Madrid, relying on Yang Fan's super scoring ability and Real Madrid's hard resistance?

Soliano, the assistant coach next to him, saw that Mancini's brows were furrowed and he didn't stretch, he knew that Mancini was in trouble now, and he could guess why Mancini was worried.

As an assistant coach, all he can do at this time is to shout from the sidelines from time to time to remind the players on the field to stay focused.

At the same time, Soliano is also secretly anxious in his heart now, Mancini is not good at this point, always hesitating, compared to coaches such as Ferguson and Mourinho, Mancini lacks points decisive and ruthless, too much to gain and lose.

On the other side, Mourinho leisurely crossed his legs, and now he is really enjoying the game. He had studied Manchester City and Mancini for a long time, and he knew Mancini's conservative personality and that he was not a threat to him.

In addition, just 20 minutes into the game, Manchester City were missing one man, and judging from the games that followed, Manchester City did not suffer from infighting. God bless Real Madrid! Such a good opportunity, Real Madrid only need to score a goal to destroy Manchester City's fragile fighting spirit.

He was quietly waiting for that moment to come.

And with his understanding of Mancini, at this time, Mancini will definitely choose to give up the attack, replace a striker and then replace a defender, and strengthen the defensive hope first. Block Real Madrid's offensive through the iron bucket formation, and at the same time rely on Yang Fan left in the front court to pose a threat to Real Madrid's backline.

This is also the favorite tactical routine of Italian coaches.

It's not just Roberto Mancini, I'm afraid managers all over the world will make a decision in this situation. Because in the face of Real Madrid, the person who is still thinking about attacking with one less person is either a madman or an idiot.

Mancini had been sitting in his chair thinking about the question. Five minutes later, although Real Madrid did not score, even Mortensen had to admit that in this case, Real Madrid scored only a matter of time.

The cheers of the Real Madrid fans, who were absolutely inferior in the stands of the visiting team, were so piercing. It was not only the team that was hit by the referee's red card, but also countless Manchester City fans who had good hopes before the game.

City didn't have a decent shot on goal in the past ten minutes, and Real Madrid had four shots on goal, two of which were extremely threatening, and if it weren't for the whole team of Manchester City's united defence, they would have conceded a goal long ago.

Cristiano Ronaldo just completed a shot, the football hit the post, Real Madrid fans are regretful jumping, Cristiano Ronaldo smiled in annoyance, he is in a good mood now, today's game, he wants to lead Real Madrid to eliminate the old rival Yang Fan.

At that time, Yang Fan must be very depressed, right?

Mancini, who had been hesitating, saw Real Madrid besieging Manchester City's goal, his face changed again and again, and finally, he gritted his teeth and made a decision.

Put your finger in your mouth. Then a loud whistle was blown to keep the players' attention on him for a moment. Mancini shouted from the sidelines: "De Jong!"

De Jong heard Mancini call himself, and he quickly turned his head to the sidelines, and he saw the manager make a gesture to pull back.

"De Jong, you withdraw and play at centre-back!Go to the left to make up for Kolo Toure's vacancy!Yaya Touredo goes back to defend and the rest of the guys stay the same!!"

Soliano was startled to hear this. De Jong went back to play at the back, and the double back became a single back! Mancini would rather reduce one midfielder than give up an attacking spot! Is he determined to play against Real Madrid?!

It's not just Sogliano.

The players on the field were frightened, and De Jong stood there without moving, for fear that he had heard it wrong. De Jong himself has little confidence in playing as a defender, he knows that he is too big defensively, he is frizzy, and he can play midfielder, but when he plays central defender, this is ......

The other players were even more shocked by what Mancini showed under this instruction - to play against Real Madrid! to insist on attacking with one less man? This may be understandable if it were some emotional managers, but Mancini is a conservative manager, so they were shocked by the manager's decision.

However, now that the manager's tactical arrangements have been made, they just have to carry it out.

De Jong hurried to the back and stood on a line with Kompany and Kompany.

"Hey, man. Seeing De Jong at centre-back, Hart shouted: "Don't be so frizzy at centre-back. ”

Hart is worried, he knows the characteristics of De Jong, let the frizzy De Jong play at central defender, what does the manager think?

The first commentators to spot the changes Manchester City had made. Almost all the commentators let out an exclamation: Manchester City insisted on attacking!

In this case, any normal coach should replace Sergio Aguero and then replace him with a real centre-back, right? However, Mancini directly replaced De Jong at central defender because he didn't want to replace any attacking player, and he wanted to keep the pressure on Real Madrid's backline!

Manchester City are going to attack!

How dare Manchester City take such a risk?

How dare Mancini take such a risk?!

Mancini's idea was actually quite simple. Offense is the best defense, and as a coach, he doesn't believe that. But now he had to believe. If you want Real Madrid's crazy offensive to be reined in, you can really only hope that your team will counterattack back, and make them feel scared.

What's more, Real Madrid just formed a siege on Manchester City, which also made Mancini afraid, he clearly realized that it is difficult to defend by defending and not conceding points!

That's offense!

Fight against Real Madrid!

You have Cristiano Ronaldo, we have Yang Fan!

And when it comes to strength, Yang Fan is even better than your Cristiano Ronaldo!

This is where Mancini dares to play against Real Madrid with one less player in the team.

Jose Mourinho then noticed City's adjustments, and the steady Mourinho was also shocked, he stood up, walked to the sideline and stared inside the stadium.

What's going on?

Jose Mourinho looked at Manchester City on the pitch and then turned his head to look at Mancini on the sidelines. Mancini, a conservative coach, actually has to fight against Real Madrid in this situation?!

Shouldn't he have chosen the decision that any coach would have made? Recycling the defense! and then using Yang Fan's speed up front to find an opportunity to score!

How could it be......

There is one less person on the pitch to let the midfielder play central defender, and it is to let De Jong play central defender, what does Mancini think?

Does he think this Manchester City, which is short of young men, will pose much of a threat to his Real Madrid?

At this time, on the pitch, Manchester City launched an attack.

De Jong stepped back to play at back, and Yaya Toure's task became heavy, but he was still comfortable with his performance. It has to be admired. Now he is in charge of organising City's counter-attack, and instead of rushing into a long pass, he has given the ball to the front of the Nasri.

Nasri burst forward with the ball and after attracting the attention of Real Madrid's defence, he passed the ball to Sergio Aguero.

Sergio Aguero was happy at this point, and even Sergio Aguero was ready to be substituted after Colo Toure was sent off.

Generally speaking, at this time, the head coach may replace a striker and a defender, and among the two strikers, Yang Fan will definitely not be replaced, so only he will be sacrificed.

However, manager Roberto Mancini did not replace him, opting instead to let De Jong fill the gap at centre-back, much to the excitement of Aguero, who cherished the opportunity to stay on the pitch and continue playing.

This time, Sergio Aguero used his pace to tear through Real Madrid's backline vertically, with Raphael Varane and Pepe forced to flank in.

It was cool to attack the Manchester City half just now. Now let Manchester City's three-legged pass hit his 30-meter area, and his face is inevitably a little unbearable.

Varane grabbed but was a little fierce, and Aguero used his speed to force his way between the two!

"Sergio Aguero has broken through!"

After the breakthrough, Aguero did not hit the goal but chose to cross, and he knew that he was inferior to Yang Fan in terms of shooting ability. Now for Manchester City. Every opportunity is precious, so he is not greedy for merit, and the opportunity will be passed to Yang Fan for him to complete the final blow.

The ball was passed to the goal, causing a mess, Yang Fan relied on Ramos, successfully kicked a catapult ball, and the football jumped and hit the post out of the bottom line.

Although the goal was not scored, even this made the Real Madrid people break out in a cold sweat.

After Roberto Mancini's insistence on attacking football, Manchester City proved that their manager's choice was right, at least at this stage.

It was City's first shot on goal in 10 minutes, and they almost broke through Real Madrid's goal.

In the stands, the Manchester City fans cheered.

Yang Fan, who was lying on the ground, slapped the turf hard, and then slowly got up and walked back while shaking his head.

Real Madrid then launched an attack.

Di Maria passed the ball to Mesut Ozil, who ran wild with the ball and his pace forced Yaya Toure to give up anything else to concentrate on defending him.

As for Modric?

Yaya Toure can only be left to the rest of his teammates.

Ozil's feint. Yaya Toure followed the rhythm of the opponent and shook his upper body, and Ozil saw that there was an opportunity, and hurriedly turned the football to the outside and accelerated at the same time!

Yaya Toure leaned in as soon as Ozil plucked the ball, and he planned to use his physical advantage to press Ozil.

Mesut Ozil showed everyone his footballing talent as he made a sharp stop and made a gesture to break through from the other side!

Yaya Toure reacted quickly and turned around with a quick stop, while reaching out to stop the ball from the right.

Unexpectedly, Ozil's right foot kicked at the football was just a false move, his foot shook behind the football and then retracted, and at the same time, while Yaya Toure split his legs and didn't have time to adjust his center of gravity, he pushed the football between Yaya Toure's legs!

Wear the crotch!

Pushing the ball under Yaya Toure's crotch, Ozil also twisted his waist and accelerated past Yaya Toure's side.

Yaya Toure, who was the best midfielder in the Premier League last season, was played by Mesut Ozil at this time.

Mesut Ozil, who broke through Yaya Toure, continued to wreak havoc at the City backline. Because of the numerical inferiority, Manchester City looked stretched down defensively and were very embarrassed.

Zabaleta had to move from the wing back to the middle to assist the defence, and he pounced on Mesut Ozil, who slotted the ball out first.

It was Karim Benzema who received the ball, and the French striker relied on his strong body to lean on Kompany, leaving the opposition unable to break the ball. Then, instead of being greedy, he was looking for opportunities for his teammates.

With a feint to turn and shoot, Benzema tricked Kompany next to him into making a defensive move, but he passed the ball away.

When Modric received the football field on the line of the penalty area, the Manchester City players noticed in horror that there was no Manchester City player around Modric at this moment!

How could Modric let go of such a great opportunity?

Shoot without adjusting the ball!

Soccer balls are like cannonballs out of the chamber.

Joe Hart threw his whole body out!

However, he still didn't get to touch the football!

The soccer ball hit the net!
