These guys on the coaching staff understood what Wen Sheng meant at the moment, pondered it carefully, and found that Wen Sheng's interpretation was very reasonable, and there was a lot of room for the away team if they didn't concede the goal.

But this is very much in line with the universal view, and many teams in European competitions will try to beat their opponents at home, because everyone knows that away games are more difficult to play than at home, and there are more uncertainties than at home.

"What if, I mean what if!" Hawking asked, "What if we concede the ball first?!" Your idea will go bankrupt! ”

'If we concede first, then we should do what Joe said, we don't just need to equalize, we need to create a big scoreline and try to take the initiative in our own hands as much as possible!'

"One game decides the fate of two games?!" Bullock. Hall teased.

Bullock. Hall, as a physical coach, is not a football professional, his professional level is much worse, he is basically an audience for every tactical discussion, and he is involved because he needs to understand the ideas of the coaching staff and adjust the physical training plan, of course, he also understands the tactical intentions of the coaching staff, otherwise Wen Sheng would have let him get out of the way, what he needs is not a nerdy physical coach, he needs a physical trainer who understands football and data.

Wen Sheng snapped his fingers in response to Hall's words, meaning "Yes, that's it!" ”

"If the opponent is an opponent who is clearly weaker than us in Malaga, I say yes, and that's it! The first leg is our home stadium and we can't do it without conceding a goal, so it really should be a bit risky to put the fate of both teams above this game, but I think it's worth it! ”

Kidd added: "It's not easy for them to score, I think away from home they might prefer to hold us off and win a draw, 0:0 is acceptable, 1:1 should be a very desirable result for them!" ”

Wen Sheng gave Kidd a thumbs up, "Yes, it doesn't matter what they think, Pellegrini thinks 0:0 is unacceptable for us, no, I think I can accept 0:0, but I definitely don't like the 1:1 score!" ”

"I can accept 0:0 too!" Hawking raised his hand.

Everyone laughed, everyone agreed with Wen Sheng's statement, and the next thing was to discuss the details.

......

Leeds United are also an unfamiliar opponent for Manchester City, with the last time the two teams met back in '04, when even Richards had not yet made his senior debut.

Wen Sheng is not worried about this at all, Manchester City can be described as strong in recent times, no injuries, full personnel, Wen Sheng has a lot of room to set up, in this game he used a lot of substitutes, Silva started as a striker, De Bruyne and Toure have been given the opportunity to rest.

On the afternoon of the 17th, the match between Manchester City and Leeds United was a key battle in the fifth round, because this game was a master-apprentice duel. Warnock.

When the master and apprentice met, Warnock "kindly" persuaded Wensheng that there was no need to spend too much effort in an event like the FA Cup, but Wensheng suggested that Warnock should leave the whirlpool of Leeds United as soon as possible.

The owner of Leeds United is called Bates, Ken. Bates, if you are a Premier League fan in the early years, you should know this name, this former chairman of Chelsea, the best deal he made was to buy Chelsea for £1, and later sold it to Abramovich for a high price, which is very profitable.

After leaving Chelsea, in 05 this old guy joined Leeds United again, he did not admit that he was the owner of the club anyway, claiming that he was only favored by anonymous investors to ask him to be the chairman, but what the truth is only clear to him, Leeds United under his leadership The results are acceptable, but the internal management is a mess, before Warnock regretted getting on the boat, and revealed in an interview with reporters that he wanted to leave three or four times.

Wen Sheng was talking about this stalk, and Warnock was very angry when he said it, so he stretched out his hand and gave Wen Sheng a slap, Wen Sheng smiled and dodged it.

With the fifth round coming on, Leeds United are very likely to meet a Premier League side as a Championship side, and for them this game could be the end of this season's FA Cup journey.

But who wouldn't be expecting that?! Who doesn't have a dream?!

Leeds United also want to go to the end, so their plan is simple to hold on to the Etihad, maybe they can steal one, and a draw would not be bad to drag Manchester City to their home stadium.

However, they didn't expect Wensheng's Manchester City to be too cautious, and they have been careful about Leeds United's counterattack after the opening, the offensive battle was tepid, the routine was simple and direct, Leeds United's bus effect was good, but don't think about the counterattack opportunity.

Completely different from the third and fourth rounds, in those two rounds of the game, Chinese Sheng adopted relatively aggressive tactics, did not want to play the play-offs, attacked with all his might, and really wanted to be upset by the opponent, and he was not distressed.

But this game is already the round of 16, why do you still feel sorry for the loss?! He also wants to get to the end, so in the same game, his attitude determines the team's tactics.

Leeds gave up possession altogether, presumably knowing that it wasn't a good thing to have the ball at their feet, and City went into the second half after a first-half attack was fruitless.

At the start of the second half, City suddenly launched a fierce attack, Silva provided the assist, and Aspas, who had not scored for a long time, broke away from the opponent's defense in the box and scored from a tight angle, giving Manchester City a 1-0 lead.

After Leeds United was scored a goal, the reaction was very fast, and they immediately launched a counterattack, different coaches have different choices, Warnock is a little strong, just the ending is a bit miserable, Leeds United was counterattacked by Manchester City three times later, Gou Yu scored the first goal of joining Manchester City, Silva and Aspas each completed a counterattack goal.

Leeds United played a bit of a tiger, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is the power of the knockout format, and Leeds United is not bad, and they play normally.

Wen Sheng and Warnock have their own busyness as head coaches, usually phone contact, very few meetings, finally met once, Wen Sheng invited the old guy to dinner after the game, Warnock did not postpone.

"Looks like you're ready!" While dining together, Warnock asked Wensheng.

"What's ready?! To Malaga?! It's been ready for a long time! Wen Sheng smiled, "Anyway, on paper, we are still a lot stronger than them, and I am confident in being promoted!" ”

"Don't underestimate Pellegrini! At Villarreal, he led the team very well! Warnock reminded.

"I know that Malaga is certainly not that easy to deal with, but we can't be too careful!" Wen Sheng is still very confident.
