It is not the first time that Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has expressed his dissatisfaction with Lin Yu in public, and this time, the same time, his players have spoken, and he naturally has to stand up and criticize twice.

After all, since Dortmund, Lin Yu has formed a lot of grudges with Pellegrini, which is really unclear.

Manuel Pellegrini has always believed that if it weren't for Lin Yu, his tactics would have been more successful and his position in the Manchester City team would have been more secure.

But now, he has to worry every day that he may be fired, which is an unacceptable sense of helplessness and anger.

What's more, Lin Yu also made him happy, he was still expecting Lin Yu to join Manchester City and become a peerless warrior under him, who would have thought that this was just a dream.

"Lin Yu? That's right, he's strong! But I'll also let him know how strong our Manchester City team is! ”

When he said this, Pellegrini was very confident and bold.

There is a saying that "pretend to be forced, seek benevolence and become benevolent, and never forget, there will be repercussions". What this means is that if you often pretend to be forced, then you will really feel that you are awesome, you always pretend to be confident, and gradually, you will become more and more confident.

That's what Pellegrini is like now, he forced himself to believe that his team could beat Lin Yu's team, and after a long time, he really thought so.

But no matter what, it's always good to have confidence, lest one of the players collapse before the game is played, then it's really not interesting.

……

The players are competing. The coach was bickering, and even the fans were joining in the fun. That's the sign before the big game.

As many as 10,000 Real Madrid fans rushed to Manchester from all over the country to watch the game, but it was a pity that they were able to enter the stadium to watch the game. But there will be no more than 5,000. The Real Madrid fans, who are less than 5,000 people, will have the privilege of cheering on their team at the Etihad Stadium, cheering on their favourite players and witnessing Real Madrid's clash with Manchester City.

Of course, even if there are 5,000 people, in the face of tens of thousands of Manchester City fans, it is insignificant, and there will definitely not be much sound in the stands at that time, after all, this is the home stadium of Manchester City, and the fans here do not allow Real Madrid fans to make a sound.

Or with a shout. Or to use other voices, anyway, the Manchester City fans have already made a decision, to make the Real Madrid fans shout throats during the game, and to make these Real Madrid fans who have traveled thousands of miles unable to cheer for Real Madrid.

In the whole world of football, we now know that Lin Yu's royal fan "Demon King Society" is powerful, this is a group of fans who are not afraid of hardship and tiredness, their shouts resounded in almost every away and home stadium, no matter how difficult, they will insist on transmitting their voices to the players on the field. Passed to Lin Yu.

However, it is such a group of fans, and they are also very passive away from home, after all, the numerical disadvantage is not something you can make up for if you are loud enough, and the fans of Manchester City are not vegetarians. They all have their own persistence and their own expectations, and of course they won't let the fans of the Demon King Club go wild here.

The so-called home field advantage. A big part of that is the voice of the fans, and the voices of the home fans can make their players more uplifted. It can also make the opposing player nervous or out of shape.

Manchester City fans feel. This game is no longer just a contest between the players of the two sides, perhaps some of their voices should be added, so that they and the players can go together to defeat the attacking Real Madrid team.

Of course, the fans of the Demon King Club are not easy to mess with, although the number is small, but they believe that the players of Real Madrid can perform better in the game, so that they can seize some limited opportunities to send their own cheers, such things have not happened before, so they really have nothing to fear.

This kind of battle is like a public opinion offensive between the two sides before a war, you fly a plane to drop leaflets in my city, and I use the radio to brainwash your area.

……

The Etihad Stadium was boiling, like oil in a pan, making a "zilazila" sound.

The main dish is about to be cooked, of course, the oil must be burned enough to heat, and the sound will be even more exciting as soon as the dish is put into the pot.

From the first minute of the game, the fans of the Manchester City team have not stopped, but they are also very sensible, knowing that if they shout together, they will get tired quickly, and their voices are not good, so they are very clever to divide the fans into three waves, each wave is much more than the fans of Real Madrid, and then shout in waves.

When the first wave of people are tired of shouting, then take a break, drink saliva, and let the second wave shout, and so on, not only to ensure that there is time for the game, but also to prevent fragmentation.

Anyway, they have one purpose, today's game, from the first minute to the last minute, will definitely not let the voice of the Real Madrid fans come out, absolutely not, and they will always bring encouragement and cheer to the Manchester City players, and bring fear and deterrence to the players of Real Madrid.

Whether they can succeed or not is one thing, but whether they do it or not is another matter, they feel that the players are playing the field, and they can't be idle off the field, because they can't be idle with this high morale and firm fighting spirit!

For the sake of their own team, even if they shout hoarse, or even shout blood, it doesn't matter, anyway, just try to shout, that's fine.

When the Bayern Munich players get the ball, they will let out a very strong cheer and cheer, so that these players know that they are not idle, that this is the home stadium, and there is no need to be afraid.

And when the Real Madrid players get the ball, it's an overwhelming boo and scolding, for the sake of the team. They also fought today.

……

In the face of Real Madrid, Manchester City's choice is to attack!

Maybe it's the only option.

First, there is no so-called defensive counterattack in Pellegrini's tactics. His tactics are more offensive, and he doesn't like to put buses on the bus;

Second, this is the home of Manchester City. If you put on a masochistic appearance here, it is estimated that the fans will not agree.

Even Mourinho, the most famous bus expert in football, generally chooses to play against the opponent when he returns to his home stadium, and even if he does not attack, he must attack actively, which is a morale problem and must not be sloppy.

However, Real Madrid chose a different tactic today, they played defensive counter-attacks. And not a pure offense.

Against whom, what to say, what to pill, against Manchester City, Zidane knows what kind of tactics are most suitable.

Defending and counterattacking is not about not attacking, nor is it about swinging the bus, but about actively defending and waiting for opportunities to attack, so as to ensure that you don't concede the ball at the same time. It can also pose a huge threat to the opponent's goal.

The reason why Zidane dared to do this was because he had fast horses like Lin Yu, Bale, and Reus under his hands, and when he counterattacked, it was definitely one against the other.

Because Real Madrid's defensive counterattack at the beginning was a bit weak. So the fans of the Manchester City team in the stands booed all over the sky, this is to drown the players of Real Madrid directly with spittle stars, but it is a pity that their spittle stars have not been able to form rivers, lakes and seas. It really doesn't make a difference to Real Madrid's players.

It's a team that's been trained and has been through a lot. If a few words of scolding or boos could affect their mood, they would have been defeated more than once. Can it still be mixed up to the point where it is today?

However, Real Madrid's choice made the media a little incomprehensible.

"What are they doing? Real Madrid has always been good at attacking, but today they put up a defensive formation, is this scared? ”

"It's too conservative, Zidane, it's not necessary at all!"

"Yes, playing like this will only stimulate the fighting spirit of the Manchester City team even more, make them more excited, everyone will play extraordinarily, and it will be Real Madrid who will suffer when the time comes."

"Want to fight a sneak attack? I think it's difficult, although Manchester City attacked very fiercely today, but did not give up the defense, look at Real Madrid's several counterattacks after the opening, the effect is not good. ”

"Maybe Manuel Pellegrini will like Real Madrid's approach, because once Real Madrid press the attack, he really doesn't have the confidence to play against Real Madrid."

Pellegrini is indeed a little happy, he has been worried that if Real Madrid attack with all their might, then his team will not be able to attack at all, and he will have to fight for defense, in that case, let alone score, it is estimated that there will not even be effective organization.

But now he is not worried, Real Madrid took the initiative to choose the tactics of defensive counterattack, which is equivalent to unblocking the attack of Manchester City, so that he can attack completely unaffected.

Sergio Aguero, Nasri, Silva, plus Yaya Toure, who has a strong ability to break through, is definitely a very strong attacking formation.

Lin Yu is very strong, but no matter how strong he is, he is just one person, nothing remarkable, although there is no one on his offensive line whose individual combat power can reach the level of Lin Yu, but when several people add up, the effect is outstanding.

Pellegrini has always believed that Lin Yu's existence has affected the performance of other Real Madrid players, and he feels that if there is no Lin Yu, perhaps the achievements of Bale and Reuss will be higher, and the cooperation will be more tacit.

Is that so?

Zidane has a completely different view.

Zidane believes that the presence of Lin Yu is a kind of promotion and urging for Reus and Bale, as well as other players.

Why?

You must know that Bell and Royce couldn't cooperate with Lin Yu at all, because Lin Yu's ability was too strong, they couldn't catch up at all, but Lin Yu didn't let them lose confidence, and Lin Yu also tried to put his strength a little higher than them in the game, let them adapt, and then improve, and then continue to increase when they got used to it.

It can be said that in these seasons, in fact, the ability of Bale and Reus has been improving, and even the substitute Benzema has benefited a lot.

This can be seen from the performance of the national team, when they need to take the lead, only to find that their strength is much higher than before, and each of them has a wonderful performance.

Reuss has now become the absolute core of the German team, even surpassing Mesut Ozil and Thomas. Muller, Gotze and others, he found that his ability was no longer comparable to these people.

often study with top students and often study with scumbags, then the final result is of course different.

Maybe when you are with a top student, you will feel that you are stupid, always make mistakes, and you are not an opponent of a top student at all, but when you return to a place with relatively average academic performance, you will suddenly find that you have actually become a top student.

How could Manuel Pellegrini understand such benefits? He didn't know Lin Yu at all, he just got Lin Yu's information through the media, and regarded Lin Yu as an arrogant and domineering existence, in his impression, Lin Yu should have a very poor relationship with their teammates.
