The rest of the fixtures are not easy for Manchester City, it should be difficult to be precise, first against Stoke City, then against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu in the Champions League, and then back in England to face Arsenal.

Wen Sheng has always taken three steps to look at each game, will not isolate each game, the best of these three teams is Arsenal, Wenger's team has strong offensive attributes, Wen Sheng is not afraid of this, he dares to fight against Arsenal!

Stoke City's buses are difficult to deal with, but their offensive attributes are not high, the tactics of long passing and hanging are not very difficult for Manchester City, Wen Sheng personally feels that it is not very difficult, the most important thing is that their defense is extremely tenacious, and Pulis himself is also a manager who is very good at adjusting the defense, Manchester City may have to spend a lot of effort to defeat them.

The most difficult to deal with is naturally Real Madrid, the attack is super strong, and the defense is also quite powerful, Wen Sheng does not think that his Manchester City is worse than them, but he lacks experience in Europe, experience is something that cannot be seen or touched, but it can really affect the game.

The only good news on the international break was that the players involved were not injured, and the bad news was that the fitness and form of the players were greatly affected. With two tough opponents to face, Wen Sheng needs to prepare well for Real Madrid's game, and after asking about his players' condition, Wen Sheng and the coaching staff discussed a "certain level" of rotation against Stoke City.

On the evening of the 15th, Wensheng adjusted the formation to 4231, and Wensheng took down Joe Hart on the back line, and Hart played in the national team game, and Navas should also get the opportunity to play appropriately, and then on the defensive line, Savic and Van Dijk became a young partner to become a central defender combination, Wanyama and Dembele formed a double back, Kolarov and Milner formed a bilateral defender, Nasri and Aspas formed a winger, De Bruyne in the forward position, and Drogba acted as a single arrow on the front line.

Before the game, many media had predicted that Manchester City was very likely to have a big rotation, and Pulis also had a hunch about Manchester City's big rotation.

Because Wensheng sometimes shows decisiveness is unimaginable, for example, player rotation, Wensheng sometimes for an important game, often in the previous game for a fairly thorough rotation, the team lineup will completely change.

Many coaches don't do it like Wen Sheng, they always suffer from gains and losses, and they are not very happy to make such trade-offs.

Stoke City is actually very good in its own strength, first of all, Coates gave Pulis a lot of trust, Pulis's position has always been very stable, the team can consistently implement Pulis's team building ideas, the team has run in better, in fact, Stoke City has also introduced some very good players over the years.

To sum up, the characteristics of Stoke City's players are that there are many players with tall legs and long legs, and there are also those who are particularly fast, which is very suitable for Pulis's rushing tactics.

Wen Sheng also has a purpose in rotation, simply to protect his key players, Stoke City's midfield is still tough, Enzonzi and Charlie Adam are both fierce generals, tall, Charlie. Adam was also very good at stealing the ball, at least at Blackpool.

Wan Yama and Dembele are also tough guys, and Dembele also has outstanding skills, so there is no need to be afraid of carrying them with their opponents.

Stoke City is really difficult to deal with, in his own Britannia Stadium, Pulis is very pragmatic, he doesn't want to fight with Manchester City to control the ball, the style of play is simple and rude, Manchester City's possession rate is as high as 70%, and Stoke City is beaten in the half, Wen Sheng doesn't want the team to be like this, he also wants to lure the opponent out, the key is that they are shrinking turtles, Manchester City has to control the ball and attack.

At the beginning, Manchester City also used crosses to find Drogba, but the effect of this move is really not good, Drogba is old, and the football depends on the state, and today he was caught by Shawcross and Hut, and he played very hard.

Kevin De Bruyne continued to be the bright spot, as he failed to find the back of the net with two long-range shots from the periphery.

On the side of Stoke City, the attack also made Manchester City helpless, Van Dijk and Savic are not vegetarians, and Crouch is very tall, but he did not play very well under the interference of the two juniors.

In the second half, Manchester City strengthened the offensive on the side, and the players' individual breakthroughs increased significantly, which created a lot of threats at this time, but unfortunately Stoke City's goalkeeper Begovic was like taking medicine, and he resisted high, and stubbornly rejected many threats from Manchester City.

Wen Sheng also played Dzeko, Mane, and Yaya Toure in succession, and the team still failed to break through the gate of Stoke City, and finally had to accept the 0:0 ending here.

The team completed 17 shots in the game, 10 of which hit the goal, but did not score a single goal, Begovic was elected the best player of the game without any suspense, Manchester City players scored well in the backfield, only the forward position whether it was Drogba or Dzeko failed to get a high score, and the veteran Drogba did not even pass.

"Begovic played so well! We tried to shoot all the time, but he was really good and his performance in front of goal was incredible! Wen Sheng praised Begovic after the game.

Pulis also praised his goalkeeper after the game: "We got a point, Begovic was a great player, he played really well! ”

Of course, Pulis also praised his other players, 'Everyone knows it's not going to be easy, they're very strong, we've done a good job defensively and being able to get a point from them isn't something every team can do! ”

Place was indeed lucky, but all reporters knew that counting this game, this gentleman's team had already won four consecutive draws in the opening game, which is really impossible for ordinary people.

Wen Sheng has reconciled with Pulis, but how could the reporters let go of this topic!

"Four draws in a row are not a problem, and there is no problem with my tactics, we are just a little unlucky!" Place is also a veteran, how can he not know how to block reporters, anyway, it is always right to push on luck.

Manchester City's vigorous winning streak came to an abrupt end at Stoke City, and Wen Sheng was also criticized after the game.

"I won't answer such a question in the future! I don't take any opponent lightly! We also don't have the capital to underestimate any opponent, so it's a shame we didn't win the game! That's how it turned out, we couldn't have won all the games! ”

The media did not let Wen Sheng go, and the Mirror wrote in a commentary: "After the national team break, for the Champions League Daniel. Wen decisively gave up the league, and the league will indeed end in thirty-five rounds, but Wen will pay the price for this arrogance sooner or later! ”

The Guardian said in the article that "Daniel. Moon's use of troops in the game is puzzling, Manchester City have a strong squad, he should not have adopted such a strategy at all, and his strategy proved to be a failure! Failing to win Stoke City has narrowed their advantage in the table, which is not a big blow for them who are about to travel to the Bernabeu! ”
