Before the game started, the sky suddenly rained, Wen Sheng couldn't help frowning, he remembered that the weather forecast before the game said that it would be cloudy, but he didn't expect it to rain, he could only hope that the rain would not be too big, there is a drainage system under the turf of the Etihad Stadium, but no matter how perfect the drainage system is, it will also have a great impact on the turf, if the rain is too large, the phenomenon of water accumulation on the turf will definitely occur, that is, the rain is not big, and it will also have an impact on the turf.

The turf is slippery, the ball speed will be faster, whether it is a pass or a breakthrough, it will be greatly affected, and the uncertainty of the game will increase.

Manchester City has not encountered a single rain battle since the beginning of this season, but I didn't expect this crucial game to encounter rain.

Manchester City was 442 as usual today, and Keylor Navas was used in goalkeeper position.

The characteristics of Joe Hart and Navas are different, and before the game, Wen Sheng also talked to Joe Hart and said that he needed a goalkeeper who could play the ball, and expressed the hope that Joe Hart would improve the ball control at his feet and adapt to the control of the play style in the backcourt.

Joe Hart was beaten in Chinese against Arsenal, and Joe Hart's performance was completely different from Navas's, with significantly fewer touches and a little panic at the ball's feet.

In the first half, Manchester City adopted a relatively high tactic to play against the attack, Hart's disadvantages were not easy to show, and in the second half, Hart's shortcomings were reflected when Manchester City wanted to recuperate.

In the two pre-match conversations, Hart had already felt that Wen Sheng was unwilling to let him be the starting goalkeeper, but he was born in the academy, and he had nothing to say about his feelings for Manchester City, so he could only endure it.

Hart is actually quite wronged, he played very well most of the time when he was on the court, and the problem is that everything is for nothing with such a manager who doesn't want to see him.

At the back, Wen Sheng still used the same defence against Real Madrid, James Milner, Virgil van Dijk, Vincent Kompany and Klich.

Klich now has the momentum to become the first left fullback, which is also a helpless thing, Klich himself is very good, and his ability to plug in is stronger than Kolarov, after all, there is a speed advantage, Wen Sheng adopted a formation similar to 4222, the fullbacks must keep up in time in attack, Klich then slowly changed from the role of being swept away to the backbone.

The midfield position is also unchanged De Bruyne, Melo, Toure and Silva are lined up, and the partners in the front line are still Aguero and Dzeko.

Dortmund's Klopp set up a 4231 formation: goalkeeper Weidenfeller, defenders Piszczek, Subotic, Hummels, Schmelzer; Gundogan, Bender; attacking midfielders Błaszczykowski, Gotze, Reus; Striker Lewandowski.

The two teams are basically the main force, Uncle Scum's Dortmund is a little worse than Manchester City in terms of value, but his team run-in is very good, of course, Manchester City is not bad, and the results of summer training are still very good.

After the start of the game, Manchester City immediately launched a siege, intending to speed up the tempo, Wen Sheng wanted to grab a start, Manchester City and Dortmund had not played before, but Wen Sheng is very familiar with the Dortmund team, including their players, after all, in the previous life, Uncle Scum was a coach he admired very much, and he had studied in detail the tactics and employment of Uncle Scum in the Dortmund period.

And Dortmund's side, Uncle Scum is obviously afraid of away from home, he has not let the team sacrifice the magic weapon of high pressing, others say that Uncle Scum is a coach with strong offensive attributes, but if you really believe that he will only attack, then it will be miserable, it is impossible for a team without defense to win the championship, and his team is also very good at defense.

In a competition of this level in the Champions League, there are only six rounds of matches in the group stage, and there are not so many opportunities for Klopp to gamble, of course he will be cautious, and the German team is always a little unlucky against English teams, like Dortmund has rarely won away from home to England for so many years.

Although Uncle Scum knows that his team will not be slower than the Premier League team in terms of attacking tempo, he still has to be careful.

Manchester City is aggressive, Dortmund stabilizes their position and tries the opponent's quality first!

Manchester City went well, the control was perfectly reflected, but unfortunately Uncle Scum's team was not a fool, and kept using some small actions in the midfield to stop Manchester City's possession and advancement.

In the 2nd minute, Dzeko received a cross from Milner and completed a header on goal, the ball was too good to be obtained by Weidenfeller, Weidenfeller tried to throw the ball to launch a fast attack, who knew that Manchester City was obviously prepared, and if the blow failed, he immediately stood in a good position in the midfield to stare at people, so that Weidenfeller had to give up the fast attack plan.

Dortmund is not good at control, Uncle Scum is also advocating the practice of fast attack, pay attention to a fast word, the ball to the front of the court they quickly sent to the feet of Lewandowski, Kompany grabbed up, successfully cleared the ball, Manchester City got the ball again.

Yaya Toure went straight to De Bruyne, De Bruyne seemed to have eyes behind him, a flash, and he played the JD An who grabbed the top in the reversal, dribbled the ball straight into it for a long time, and then shot a long shot from the periphery of the Dortmund penalty area.

"Woo!" Both Jock and Linton exclaimed as De Bruyne's shot was actually quite good and grazed the post and went wide.

The City fans applauded De Bruyne, but on the pitch Aguero was not satisfied, he had run out of space, and De Bruyne should pass the ball to him!

Wen Sheng applauded De Bruyne, although he and Sergio Aguero thought that De Bruyne was better passing, but it was also good to give Dortmund a disadvantage at this time.

The reason why he let the team attack at the beginning was not because he guessed that Uncle Scum would be cautious away from home, in fact, he didn't know anything about Uncle Scum's thoughts at the beginning, and the main reason for the idea of attacking had to be attributed to the weather.

The rain has just started to fall, the field conditions are not bad, the ball is easy to control, and when the rain is heavy, it is impossible for him not to be cautious in his own defense, and the team's players are very likely to make unforced mistakes, and the backcourt needs enough manpower to ensure that the position is needed.

The rain is also bad for Dortmund, but Wen Sheng has a cautious personality, and he prefers to believe that the rain will have a greater impact on his team!

Uncle Scum saw that Manchester City was attacking, he was not polite, a few minutes later he began to sacrifice the high pressure to grab this trick, Manchester City's long passes in the back began to increase, it is obvious that Manchester City wants to play behind Dortmund, but this move is not very effective, Dortmund's two central defenders Subotic and Hummels are in good shape, and they have cleared the ball several times.
