340.Battle of Naples 1 (Ask for recommendation, ask for collection, ask for subscription)

Wensheng's tactical prediction for Benitez was inaccurate, and in fact Napoli did not play impulsively after kick-off, keeping their formation very tight.

Manchester City's side originally intended to give up control and defend first to wear down the opponent's attacking patience, so coupled with Napoli's own cautious attitude and active running, Manchester City was at the bottom of the opening game.

Manchester City's defense is not very deep, but today they suffered in midfield, at least at the beginning of the game, with relentless running and a more tacit positioning, Napoli suppressed Manchester City's midfield.

Although he had long predicted that the opponent would definitely not be good at stubble, and this game would be crazy, Wen Sheng still didn't expect his midfielder to be below in the confrontation.

Wen Sheng himself also ignored the fact that in terms of controlling the flow of play, Manchester City has only one real midfielder, that is, Wan Yama, but Kroos and Silva can control it, and they use the control flow **, the team can control the situation a little, and take the initiative to recover like now, and when it encounters Napoli, the shortcomings of the midfield defense are easy to expose.

Of course, the premise of all this still has to talk about form, and Napoli is getting into form faster.

In the 3rd minute, Napoli played a wonderful combination in front, Higuain received a pass from Pandev, took a trip, and then fired a low shot into the far corner, Hart was very focused and held the ball steadily.

It was Napoli's first shot on goal.

Van Dijk suffered a loss in the fighting method this time, saying that the body said that the defensive skills of these Van Dijk are no problem, and they are more prominent, but the key is that the opponent Higuain is really not weak, and this kid is really ghostly.

Wen Sheng touched his chin, Higuain's shot is not particularly threatening, but the team has to be very careful in defense, and Higuain's most prominent aspect is his shooting skills.

He's different from Robin van Persie, who often has the kind of goals that make people catch a beat, while Higuain's goals basically look very bland, but he can score, run well, shoot accurately, and be concise and clear.

Just like this shot, he played the time difference, and Van Dijk couldn't be said to be unstoppable in his marking, but he took the ball and stepped on it in two small steps, and then shot, piercing Van Dijk's crotch, which was unguardable.

Change the striker, you let Dzeko come, Dzeko will definitely not do as well as Higuain.

Of course, Higuain is a good envoy, but Wen Shengke never thought of introducing him, and this guy's body management is really a problem.

"It's really appropriate to try to keep the ball under control and minimise the amount of time they spend on the ball!" Taking advantage of the dead ball, Wen Sheng pulled Milner, Napoli were in good shape, in just six or seven minutes, they had sent the ball into the Manchester City box twice, once Higuain completed the shot, and the other Higuain couldn't get a header from Kompany.

They can complete these threats, in the final analysis, there are too many balls at their feet, so Wen Sheng has such a statement.

Milner understood and immediately communicated with his team-mates and the team began to try to do some control.

"Napoli did a really good start, a couple of combinations, including possession and everything! Manchester City's state, hey, it's no wonder that the last two games can't be won, the state is not very good! Director Zhang watched the game and commented in the live broadcast room.

"Manchester City have a habit of slow heat!" Brother Jun said.

Zhang, like many fans, hoped it would be a good match-up, but now it looks like it backfired, with City at the bottom, intentionally or unintentionally, with little possession and only one shot on goal, or Costa's kick on the flank, which I don't know if it was a pass or a shot.

Fifteen minutes passed, and Benitez looked at his watch, a little anxious.

He can't help but hurry, it's not enough to get three points in this game, his team needs a lot of clean sheets, and the more time drags on, the worse it will be for Napoli.

And he also noticed the change in the opposition, and Manchester City began to try to control the ball, no longer easily moving the ball forward to find Dzeko.

That doesn't bode well and he certainly knows it's not a good thing to get the ball at his opponent's feet too often.

Of course, his team can also use aggressive scrambling to force a quick exchange of possession and then create chances.

But it's risky, isn't it?! That's the case on the football field, the chances are equal, and physics also says that the effect of force is mutual, you look at the opportunity to exchange the ball and want to attack quickly on the spot, maybe the next second is the opponent counterattacking you!

Wen Sheng walked around the sidelines, constantly calling out the names of the players on the field.

The commentators are not satisfied, the fans are not satisfied, he doesn't know, he himself is quite satisfied anyway, his players are really smart, although at the beginning of a stage, everyone is not very suitable for Napoli's tactical arrangement, but in the passive, everyone gradually adjusted their mentality and state, and slowly began to compete with Napoli for the ball.

How to do the most beneficial to the team, of course, is a step-by-step positional battle, Napoli in case of a death battle does not retreat, it is not simple, directly find the two wings, Costa's blasting may also be able to reap the effect.

In the 21st minute, Manchester City controlled in the midfield, Kroos distributed the ball to Hills on the side, Callejon pressed, Hills passed the ball to Kroos, Kroos passed the ball directly without stopping, Costa on the left side got the ball, at this time the Napoli players were eager to grab the ball at the feet of Manchester City, and the position was already loose, and the distance between the back line and the midfield was too large.

Costa got the chance to face Mesto alone, and Costa didn't disappoint at all, stopping and starting, three times and two divided by five, and gave Mesto a clean sweep.

Then cut inside, attracted Fernandes, who came from the defense, passed back to the small penalty area, and the retreating Dzekora bowed and pushed.

Rafael flew to the side to save Dzeko's shot off the line.

"Hehe, this goal didn't go in!" Director Zhang's eyes widened in disbelief that Dzeko had completely deceived another defender, Britos, and was tantamount to only facing Rafael.

After watching the slow motion of the replay, Brother Jun said: "This ball Raphael has divine help!" The save was quite good, and of course Dzeko's shot was lacking in power and angle! ”

Wen Sheng's face was full of disappointment, this Nima's, at the critical moment, how can the two strikers always be dumbfounded.

Dzeko's shot was as simple as in a training match.

As everyone knows, it is precisely because of simplicity that it hurts people!

Needless to say, Dzeko wants to score goals, of course he hopes to take advantage of Aguero's injury and prove himself, but this goal is too simple, Dzeko's mentality is too relaxed, and he pushes it at will, what is this?!

Raphael said you think I'm nothing!

The angry Rafael pounced sideways, and just like that, he easily blocked Dzeko's shot from a lack of angle and power, and tried to keep the goal intact.

The fans at the São Paulo Stadium cheered for Rafael's performance, and the applause rang out from the audience, but Rafael was confused, and it was really not enough to say how difficult it was to save the ball.
