Chapter 416: The First Shot
If there's one thing in the world that every footballer hates, it's a tight schedule of two games a week or even three games a week, and now Manchester City are finally facing a headache for every manager.
After the Arsenal game, although there is no cup tie due to Manchester City, they will have two games in the following week, one against Swansea City on the brink of relegation, and a second meeting with Montpellier.
To be honest, both games were not easy to play.
Mancini looked at the information in his hand with a sad face.
These two teams are going to break the cauldron team, Montpellier will not say, the last game Mancini was well understood, and Swansea, is not a good fruit to gnaw, at the moment Swansea is desperately trying to relegate, and the last few game videos to see Mancini is also frightened, they are simply crazy, the rough action is almost people think that they are not here to play, but to fight.
However, Mancini also understands their current mood, they are about to be relegated, and if they don't work hard, there really won't be a chance, of course, there are teams that will collapse before they work hard, but Swansea is not, they still seem to want to seize that little chance.
So thinking of this, Mancini still decided not to send most of the main players on the field in this game, although Swansea is now biting like a mad dog, but the gap in strength is not something that can be made up by a rough foul.
It's just that Mancini doesn't want to overturn in the gutter, after all, although they have been hovering around seven or eight in the league points, Mancini has calculated that as long as Manchester City can maintain a seven-percent win rate in the remaining ten league games, then it is not impossible to win the league, so he still retains a few main defensive players on the field, and in the end he only replaced a small half of the players.
As for Ye Xin, he thought about it again and again, but decided not to let him play, now Swansea is a little red-eyed, he doesn't want anyone to hurt Ye Xin, this is definitely a huge blow to the current Manchester City.
But this is what Mancini thinks, Ye Xin, who has the ability to predict, is actually impossible for anyone to hurt him as long as he doesn't want to be injured, he can predict every football landing point that shoots towards the goal, and naturally can predict every fist that others swing.
It's just that Ye Xin didn't say much after receiving Mancini's arrangement, although he was not so happy in Manchester City, but he knew that as a player, he had to have the principle of a player.
Players who have too many ideas are the team's time bomb, of course, the striker players are different, the more ideas they have, the more aura they have, but Ye Xin is not, he is just a goalkeeper, so he has always implemented Mancini's arrangement unconditionally.
Ye Xin's obedience also surprised the other players of Manchester City, although they all knew that Mancini did not let him play in this game to protect him, but the player's appearance is really linked to income, and the more appearances also indicate that your position in the team is more stable, plus the goalkeeper is the least likely person to be injured in the team, so everyone thought that Ye Xin would show a little bit of dissatisfaction.
After all, Ye Xin has already conquered everyone with his strong strength, and now no one in the Manchester City team thinks that he can be bigger than him, strength is king, this is the tradition of English football.
It's just that Ye Xin didn't have the justification he imagined at all, and even if he just hummed more, he nodded silently, and he didn't see any dissatisfaction at all.
This made Mancini, who had prepared some rhetoric, extremely comfortable.
What is a profession.
It's called a career.
Thinking of this, Mancini glanced at the other players in the conference room with dissatisfaction, if they had been like Ye Xin, they still maintained this attitude after achieving a little result, Manchester City's results this season would be so ugly.
However, this is not the time to turn over old accounts, Mancini held down his desire to count everyone, and still explained the tactical arrangements for the next game in detail.
After all, Manchester City, where Ye Xin is not there, will definitely not be able to use the style of play to prevent one omission and one omission.
A morning passed.
Mancini finally finished talking about the tactical intentions he had assigned to each player, but just as everyone was about to leave, he called out to Ye Xin.
"Ye, you wait a minute"
"What's the matter?" Ye Xin didn't know why Mancini left him to talk alone, this was a tactical meeting, his tactical discernment ability Mancini was not clear, although now Manchester City's goalkeeper coach is trying to instill in himself the experience of commanding defense, but Ye Xin's progress is slow, after all, his years in the football world are still too short.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask you, what do you think of Alex and Harry now, can they play?"
Mancini's question immediately stopped Ye Xin, he didn't expect Mancini to ask this.
It's just that compared to tactics, Ye Xin feels that this problem is more difficult, where does he know if Alex and Harry can play, he only knows that the disguised shooting of the two is indeed getting more and more powerful, of course, the threat of the two to his goal is still not big, unless the two can practice to the level of Niels, that kind of disguised shooting is still a little useful to himself, but looking at the strength of the two now, there is still a big gap compared to Niels.
"I don't know"
"Uh......" Mancini was suddenly confused by Ye Xin's straightforward answer, but looking at Ye Xin's expression, Mancini knew that Ye Xin didn't have any emotions.
And just when the two fell silent, Ye Xin finally said another word.
"If you can play, how do you know if you haven't tried?"
“…… Makes sense."
Unbeknownst to Alex and Harry, the two had completely changed their fates because of Ye Xin's words, or that their fate had just started early, and on the afternoon of the tactical meeting, Mancini decided to start the game against Swansea.
"Oh my God, Ye, you know what? The coach gave us a start! ”
"Haha, starters! Starting! ”
The two who were called by Mancini to speak and came back to train happily shared their good news with Ye Xin, looking at the excited looks on their faces, although Ye Xin wanted to say that he actually knew about it a long time ago, but he still didn't pour cold water on the two.
"Well, congratulations"
"Ye, thank you, this is my first real start, not a reserve game, not a friendly game, but a real game in the Premier League!"
"Yes, Ye, it's all your credit, your training methods are simply amazing, I swear I must have seen our performance in the team to decide to do this, Alex and I will definitely not let you down, you can watch us score for Manchester City in front of the goal in the next game" Harry said very sincerely, for this person who made him almost reborn, Harry has long regarded him as another enlightenment teacher for himself.
"Glory to you, Leaf"
"Yes, the glory is yours"
……
"But I won't play in the next game."
"Ahh
