327. Boas's dilemma (ask for recommendation, collection, subscription)
Villas-Boas suddenly fell into weakness on the sidelines, he didn't know what else his team should do, tough enough, hard enough, forced to be strong like Manchester City had to give up control of the ball, but what is the use of birds, control is at his feet, Manchester City is not fooled, do not fight and rush with himself, and now Boas feels that he has fallen into the pit, and Tottenham is not suitable for ball control tactics.
Sergio Aguero's second goal demoralized the Tottenham players as City began to form a siege, and before the end of the first half, Hills drove straight into the ball with a cross from the wing, Dzeko grabbed the spot in the middle, stretched out his long legs to tackle, and the ball drilled into the Tottenham net again.
Lloris reflexively kicked the ball back into the net, and he really didn't have the courage to blame his teammates, so he could only take his anger out on the football.
The Etihad City fans cheered loudly, the bench was jubilant, and Boas felt everything around him be so harsh in his ears.
Although Foy was more lenient in foul decisions, City's goal was indisputable, and he didn't make any mistakes, and he didn't give much in first-half stoppage time, and Manchester City went into the dressing room with a 3-0 scoreline.
Manchester City is naturally elated, and the team is not without trouble, but it is too lucky, and Wensheng's on-the-spot adjustment has been faithfully implemented, and the effect is quite good.
'When we have difficulty with the ball, we don't have to chase possession, it's good to be able to counter-attack well, we started the game with a deliberate desire to reduce the threat of the opposition by controlling the football, and when that doesn't work, we can't continue to pursue control! The purpose of our game is to win, not to possess the ball! When we give the opposition a dangerous chance to attack in order to keep the ball, we don't have to hold on to it! Wen Sheng didn't have much to say about the players, so he said a few words hastily, and for Vieira, Wen Sheng talked about his feelings.
"You can't stick to a certain style in the game, of course, everyone's opinion may be different, you can also use your own opinions, and you can think about it yourself in the future!"
Vieira asked, "Daniel, how do you think they'll react in the second half?!" ”
"I can't tell!" Wen Sheng smiled and shook his head, "They can only attack in the second half, but how to attack, this is a problem, I don't know what Boas will do, but from their overall situation, the team's low morale is inevitable, and the most important thing for Boas is to clean up people's hearts!" ”
"I know the Tottenham hierarchy may have assured him before the game, but what if Tottenham lose too hard?! Do you think Tottenham will let Villas-Boas go out of class right away?! Wen Sheng asked everyone with a smile.
Vieira said: "That's possible, too!" ”
"The score is too big, too ugly, and Levy may not be willing to tolerate Boas continuing to do it!" Kidd also said.
"Yes! Villas-Boas will bet in the second half, 0:3 is not ugly, in October, West Ham United also beat the three of them, and we are only three, which is reasonable! No matter how much it is, plus the last three rounds of winlessness, the possibility of Boas getting out of class is too great, and it is normal for Levy to speak without words! Wen Sheng analyzed Boas's situation with great interest.
"It's so tiring to be a manager! It's too tiring to have to calculate others like you! Vieira joked with a bitter face, and Hawking and they both laughed.
"How can you be a manager without knowing your opponent?! This is important, and it's important to me! Wen Sheng ignored the joke, but said seriously.
Inside the away team's dressing room.
Boas was indeed very annoyed, and Loris sincerely apologized to the big guy. 31
"But what's the use of birds?! It's all because you bastard made us fall behind at the beginning! Boas silently scolded Lloris in his heart.
The players were silent, Villas-Boas did not say a word of forgiveness to Lloris, only captain Dawson said two words of comfort to Lloris, the situation is now very critical, and the three-goal deficit weighed heavily on everyone's hearts like a big stone.
Villas-Boas thought about it and finally decided not to be so aggressive, as Wensheng expected, the ball was conceded too much, the more incompetent he was in Levy's eyes, and the risk of getting out of class was very high, in order to keep his position, Boas felt that the solid defense could not concede the ball again was the first, the goal was second, and the equalizer could only depend on fate.
The words were impassioned, but the effect was mediocre, and the players did not recover from the poor form of the first half.
At the end of the fifteen-minute break, the two sides returned to the pitch again.
Tottenham's tactics have changed, they dare not press high, Wen Sheng is also happy to play positional battles, Manchester City formed a siege of Tottenham from the beginning, and the possession rate has been rising.
Wen Sheng carefully observed the situation on the field from the sidelines, five minutes passed, Tottenham Hotspur never got a chance to counterattack, although the morale was low, but the defense was still solid, and it did not give Manchester City too good a chance.
The pace of the game was slowed down by Manchester City, and Villas-Boas also stood on the sidelines to think about countermeasures, and in the 52nd minute, he made a substitution, replacing Holtby with Adebayor.
This is obviously going to be done with long passes, Adebayo has the height, forming a double center forward line, Adebayo and Soldado are partnered, and then using Lamela and Lennon on the wings to counterattack.
This road is a relatively good response, the key depends on whether Soldado and Adebayo can hold on, if they can hold on, Tottenham as long as there are one or two counterattacks that work, it is also very good, and in defense, Tottenham can ensure the integrity of personnel.
The game was a stalemate, with Manchester City besieging and Tottenham making long passes at the back, directly connecting the attack, with both sides patiently looking for opportunities.
In the 63rd minute, Manchester City made a wonderful combination on the wing, De Bruyne and Zabaleta collided against the wall, and then crossed again, Dembele inserted a header at the back post, and the ball went in again.
4:0!
Tottenham, which had just improved a bit, suffered another heavy blow and there were problems in the defence again.
But it's not surprising to think that they have problems, the back line is full of four central defenders, and the ability to move can't keep up, Manchester City is not easy to break through head-on, but the ball is still relatively easy to pass on the wing.
Dembele's insertion did not alert the Tottenham players, with Zirices complaining that Dembele was pressing, but Foi ignored it and ruled that the goal was valid.
Wen Sheng stood on the sidelines and sneered, if Foy dared to blow this ball, he would definitely give Foy a good look after the game, and he would have to talk to Foy well at the risk of suspension.
