1.049 is getting better
City's corner failed to threaten and there were several good headers in the Sheffield Wednesday squad who failed to secure the first point. But Sheffield Wednesday's counterattack also failed to play, Pierce knew Sheffield Wednesday's counterattack speed, and also knew that most of the frontcourt players in the team were old men and couldn't run, so he was very resolute when defending, and he always kept enough defenders in the backfield to prevent Sheffield Wednesday from counterattacking.
After an early adaptation, Diarra's performance was much more normal, and with the help of Toure and others, he successfully got through the difficult phase of being besieged by Manchester City's players, and Sheffield Wednesday's defence began to solidify and have more energy to attack.
In the 20th minute, Sheffield Wednesday had possession of the ball and patiently looked for chances, but City's defence was doing well. They concentrated most of their players near the penalty line, densely packed, clogging the space for Sheffield three to penetrate and break through, also because City's midfield personnel lacked the ability to run and defend aggressively.
Sheffield Wednesday's repeated kicks from outside the danger zone failed to trigger City's flaws, and they had no choice but to try to shoot from distance. Toure's long-range shot was of high quality, cutting through the dense crowd of players in the box and flying straight into the back of the net, but at a good angle, and City goalkeeper David James was well positioned to keep the ball out with both palms.
Originally, he wanted to catch the ball, but the force of the ball was too great, and with the spin, he couldn't hold the ball. The ball hit James's gloves and bounced back into the penalty area, at which time the sensitive Darren Bent appeared at the landing point of the ball, and poked the ball from under James into the Manchester City goal, 1:0.
is really a striker who is good at scoring goals, and Lee Seung-peak can't help but applaud Bent's goal. Although many people don't like him, saying that he is good for nothing but speed, he can't cooperate and can only work alone, and his skills are also terrible, but he can't stop him is able to score, and in this era he is the most goal-scoring person among England's homegrown strikers. As a striker, isn't it enough to be able to score goals? Sheffield Wednesday is just a small club and can't ask for too much.
Sheffield Wednesday, who led by one goal, were more comfortable on the counter-attack, and the backward Manchester City tried to attack, but the lack of speed and running ability of the front-court players allowed them to play a positional attack, and in the face of Sheffield Wednesday, who were all soldiers and concentrated on defending, the effect was really limited.
Sheffield Wednesday went into the second half with a 1-0 lead over Manchester City. After the half-time adjustment, Manchester City's attack still did not improve much, their financial problems affected their recruitment, the departure of last season's best player has reduced their strength a lot, no matter how capable Pierce is, there is nothing he can do without enough resources at hand.
In the 54th minute of the second half, Sheffield Wednesday broke the ball in midfield, and the ball was passed to Ribery on the left, and he dribbled the ball on a quick counterattack, leaving the aging Sinclair far away. In the face of the interception Mills, he did not choose to pass, but cut inside with the ball and rushed diagonally towards the corner of the penalty area.
Manchester City defender Dunn stepped forward to block Ribery's continued breakthrough into the middle, and Ribery flicked the ball in the direction of the baseline. Dunn hurriedly followed, and Mills on the other side also rushed over, trying to join forces to stop Ribery.
Ribery suddenly sent the ball back to the edge of the box, Ederson's presence interfered with the judgment of the City defenders, and Toure followed up in the middle of the box to shoot from distance again, this time no one could stop his goal, the ball flew from his feet, drew a white line, and flew into the goal behind David James.
At 2:0, the Heath Stadium was boiling over, Sheffield Wednesday was about to win the first Premier League game of the new season, and the fans had waited too long for this day to vent their emotions and let the world know how happy they were.
Li Chengfeng was also very excited, and finally won, without a win in two consecutive games, and he was completely at a disadvantage on the field, which brought him great pressure from such a performance. Now that his adjustments have finally worked, and the team has finally won the first game of the new season, it gives him a lot of confidence that he will achieve his goals this season.
On August 27, Sheffield Wednesday away to Middlesbrough, it was the unlucky guy who was robbed of the Europa League qualification by Sheffield Wednesday, they finally created the team's best record in years last season, and could have played in the Europa League with a 7th place in the Premier League, but the sudden Sheffield Wednesday team won the League Cup last season and stole their chance.
Middlesbrough were angry and the consequences were severe, and they came out early to teach Sheffield Wednesday a lesson.
The final result of the match was 0-3, with Middlesbrough losing by three goals at home to visiting Sheffield Wednesday. Bent exploded in the game, scoring a hat-trick to knock Middlesbrough down and winning the Premier League's Player of the Month for August with six goals in four games.
'I've said long ago that Bent will make people forget about Braten, he's a very good player. Li Chengfeng proudly said to the Sheffield Post reporter Dorsie. I guess this is the Bole who discovered Darren Bent.
Indeed, Brattten hasn't scored since scoring twice against his former Sheffield Wednesday side in the first game, but the season has only just begun, and the Charlton man has patience with him. Besides, it's good to score 2 goals in 4 games, Charlton fans are a little sour.
On 10 September, Sheffield Wednesday will face another tough opponent when they travel to a strong Chelsea, the Premier League champions of the previous two seasons and the Premier League scoring record. Chelsea have won all four of their previous Premier League games, including Premier League giants such as Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, and Lee is in great form, but Lee is not confident.
But the media who are afraid of the world will not let them go, and last season's Sheffield Wednesday snatched Chelsea's Carabao Cup title, which was enough for them to make a big splash, even if Lee Seungfeng tried to make the pre-game atmosphere less tense. Mourinho spoke to reporters a few days before the game to teach Sheffield Wednesday a lesson on how far apart they are from the Premier League title.
is really a stingy person, Li Chengfeng looked at Mourinho's words in the newspaper and didn't feel strange, Mourinho is such a person. Whether he's in character or wants to spread the pressure for the players, he's always done that, is and will always be doing it, making enemies in the media.
Lee Seungfeng had no chance to fight back, the gap between the team and Chelsea was all-round, from goalkeeper to striker, to substitute, to form, Sheffield Wednesday team was difficult to find a reason to win, except for the luck factor, he could only choose to defend with all his strength and try to steal a draw.
He almost did it, and in the last five minutes of the game, the score was still 0-0. But luck ran out of him in the end, and after Jose Mourinho's frenzied introduction of a front four, the Sheffield Wednesday defence finally showed its flaws, and Frank Lampard's long-range effort from the edge of the box broke past the 10-finger mark of Abondan Sheri to give Chelsea the lead.
Sheffield Wednesday, who fell behind, was unwilling to lose, and Lee Seungfeng also sent on Bam Adebayor and Bentley to try to fight to the death, but time was running out, and Chelsea could not get back after all.
At the end of the game, Mourinho shook hands with Li Chengfeng, "Good job. ”
Looking at the smile on Mourinho's face, I didn't know that I thought he was appreciating the performance of Li Chengfeng and Sheffield Wednesday, but the strength that Li Chengfeng felt in his hand was not like that, Mourinho was very hard, and Li Chengfeng almost screamed.
Seeing Li Chengfeng's distorted expression because of the pain in his hand, Mourinho smiled even more happily, he let go of Li Chengfeng's hand, turned around and followed the players back to the dressing room.
He is indeed a stingy man, Li Chengfeng shook his aching right hand, thinking to himself.
But at the press conference after the game. Jose Mourinho is indeed personable and he has lavished praise on Sheffield Wednesday's potential: "It's a team with a lot of potential, they will get better and better. Their coaches are also very good. I'm sure they'll shine in the Premier League over time. ”
The other party praised himself so much, which made Li Chengfeng blush a little, he had not yet cultivated a thick skin like a city wall, so he had to tout it harder, "Mourinho is the best coach in the Premier League, and Chelsea is also the strongest team in the Premier League, I believe they will also achieve great success this season." ”
Li Chengfeng also understands the reason why the sedan chair is carried by everyone, and he has a more accurate positioning of the strength of his team. There is still a gap in the level of their own team compared to the traditional Premier League top 4, even if the hard power of the team at this level of Tottenham Hotspur is stronger than the Sheffield Wednesday team, and they will not be as powerless as Sheffield Wednesday in the face of Liverpool and Chelsea. However, Lee feels it is not impossible for Sheffield Wednesday to snatch a European spot, as long as his team can get the points they deserve.
To play the success rate, insist on defending and counterattacking. Now in everyone's eyes, Sheffield Wednesday is still a promoted team, and they all want to take advantage of Sheffield Wednesday, which gives Sheffield Wednesday the opportunity to stick to the defensive counterattack. Among the Sheffield Wednesday players, Franck Ribery, Lennon, Ederson and Bent are all good counter-attackers, and the average Premier League team defense is simply unable to defend.
As long as they can get as many points as possible outside the top five of the Premier League, as long as Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur can drop the chain as they do in the real world, it is not impossible to qualify for the Champions League. In the first five games of the season, Arsenal lost 3 games, and Tottenham Hotspur also lost 1 and drew 2 games.
