The change in West Bromwich Albion lies in Clark, Clarke can be said to be an assistant coach who is quite close to Mourinho, plus Clarke himself is a defender, and the concept between him and Mourinho is quite close, and the reason why he can get the favor of many managers and is willing to hire him as an assistant is that he has deep insights in defense.

But Clarke can be a dark horse in the opening game, and he has to talk about another player, the little monster Lukaku.

Romelu. Romelu Lukaku came to Chelsea at the end of last season as Didier Drogba's successor, costing Chelsea £16 million, but his situation at Chelsea is hard to say and his development is not ideal.

Clarke took over as West Bromwich Albion boss in the summer and immediately signed the young Belgian centre-forward on loan from the Blues thanks to his good relationship with the Blues.

After Lukaku entered West Bromwich Albion, Clarke immediately built his own team around him, and it can be said that without Lukaku Clark's tactical system is basically difficult to build.

The first thing Clarke wanted to improve was West Bromwich Albion's defensive system, and he needed more players to be involved in the team's defense, and Lukaku's presence allowed Clarke to realize this idea, because Lukaku was tall and strong, and even more commendable, Lukaku was very fast.

They can act as a bridgehead in the frontcourt, and one person can do the work of two forwards, and Clark's tactical design has been successful, which is why they can be dark horses so far in the new season.

West Bromwich Albion themselves are in good form, Manchester City have also encountered some difficulties, mainly the impact of the national team break, but also injuries, Yaya Toure was injured in the game against Sunderland, the situation is not serious or serious, the injury will take about two months, and then Sergio Aguero has a small ankle problem in the national team game, and Wensheng intends to rest him in this game.

With a faithful believer like Clarke, Manchester City really has not much to go but to attack the bus.

The game was rather tight, with City ultimately winning thanks to a set-piece opportunity, with Kolarov setting up Vincent Kompany for the only goal of the game.

Clarke was not so convinced after the game, the main reason was that they actually had a few chances to equalize the score, without Toure in midfield, Dembele was used in the previous victory, he did not play well in this game, not very good, Manchester City was not very stable in control.

Journalists obviously saw this, but Wen Sheng said: "We all miss Toure, but we also have to accept that he is not on the pitch, Moussa and Victor are good players, I believe they can fill the gap!" ”

Wensheng also praised another young player, Sadio Mane, who was also given a chance to start today, replacing Silva, and Kolarov's set-piece came from Mane's breakthrough.

'Sadio is young, he showed his characteristics on the pitch and is a great addition to the team! I'm sure he has a bright future, but we can't rush it now! ”

On the evening of the 24th, Manchester City will challenge Ajax at home to challenge Ajax who have not won in the group stage, and the reporter also asked about the game after the game, Wen Sheng was very cautious, emphasizing that the strength of Ajax cannot be ignored, and the home field is not easy to deal with, and the team needs to play with the spirit of 12 points.

'In a competition at the level of the Champions League, we need to stay calm! Only with a cool head can you defeat your opponent! ”

'Kun has a little bit of an injury and I'm not sure if he'll be back against Ajax, Yaya is out for a while and we have some injuries in other positions besides them!'

'It's starting to get a lot of fixtures and we have to overcome the difficulties and rise to the occasion, even though it's their home stadium and we need to go with the determination to win!'

As Wensheng himself said, despite the difficulties the team faces, Ajax are the three points in the plan, and it is really important that they win them to help the team establish an advantage in the group stage.

Wen Sheng is very confident in this game, because Frank. De Boer is an iron brain in his opinion, why do you say that?!

Frank. De Boer is an idealist, since the beginning of the Dutch all-attacking and defensive era, Ajax has always been a practitioner of this tactical philosophy, no matter who the manager is, the concept has never changed, De Boer has also inherited the tactical ideas of his predecessors.

From the history and pattern of European football in the past 20 years, it can be seen that there is a problem, it is difficult for the teams in the Eredivisie to dominate in the European competition, the era of Ajax is in the past, Ajax participates in the Champions League every year, and the number of times they have reached the quarterfinals is only a handful, some people think they are amazing, after all, their strength is too far behind the top giants in Europe, yes, strength is their biggest problem!

Their own strength is no longer enough to support them to excel in European competition with an all-attack and all-defence philosophy, so their paradox is to either increase their strength or change their tactics.

Ajax will not change the traditional philosophy of their club, so they now look like they can only dominate dominantly at home, and they really need form and luck in European competition, are the commentators in the European media fools?! Obviously not, so as soon as the group of death was separated, everyone listed Ajax as a team that was basically impossible to qualify, they were spoilers but not seen to qualify.

Frank. De Boer, the manager, did not change his mind in the European competition, away against Dortmund he still sacrificed all the attack, lost, back home against Real Madrid continued to attack and defend all, lost even worse, look at the two games of Ajax can find that their tactics have not changed at all, too self-centered.

This kind of self-dominated play, good form and good quality of their players may naturally be bullish, and it is possible to kill the other three teams in the group, which is also an important factor in the media thinking that they will become spoilers.

If you don't play badly, if you're in average form, you can't play against the other three opponents in the group stage, Real Madrid is not easy to deal with, Dortmund is also difficult to deal with, and Manchester City is not easy to deal with now.

Wen Sheng firmly believes that Frank. De Boer continues his game and City's chances of beating them away will increase dramatically, although he hopes he doesn't run into the in-form Ajax.

Mubarak made a special trip to the training ground to visit the Manchester City players during Monday's training session, and he also knew that this was a crucial period, and the two games against Ajax were crucial, and it was basically no problem to win the Manchester City spot.
