After the first and second matches at the top of the Bundesliga, the most depressed team is not the Bundesliga team, but the Premier League team, which is quite funny to say. But looking at Wolfsburg's performance in the match against Bayern, Manchester City fans couldn't laugh at all at this time.

In midweek, they face Wolfsburg for a decisive Champions League fixture. At this time, Wolf Castle didn't even want to be cheeky, and in the face of opponents who were ahead of them in the league, they all played obscene tactics in a grand manner. The team that has been fighting at home and has the advantage of away goals is still so obscene, this kind of thing, so that after Manchester City fans get the news, they all sigh that Manchester City is really ill-fated, and in the Champions League, it is so unsmooth.

Everyone knows that the match between Manchester City and Wolfsburg is already very undominant. Because of the defeat at home, they are not to mention a draw on the road, even if they score fewer goals and only win 1-0, they will not be able to get the final victory at all. Two away goals, like a thousand pounds of weight on the head, made Manchester City already miserable, and now, what Wolfsburg is doing makes Manchester City feel even more depressed.

Almost everyone who watched that game already understood the purpose of Wolfsburg. They will want to further hone their defensive qualities so that they can play better against Manchester City in the Champions League. With the advantage of two away goals, Wolfsburg seems to have finalized their attention and is ready to make the most of their advantages in the Champions League game, so as to win the Champions League with ease.

Almost everyone can see that Wolfsburg's tactical changes are being made against Manchester City, but Manchester City seems to be helpless about the distressing things.

"Wolfsburg played a defensive position against Bayern in the league, so it was basically a declaration that they were really not ready to fight for the league title again this season. The difference between the two teams is nine points, and Bayern lose three of the remaining games, which is almost impossible, and Wolfsburg's approach has already shown their intentions. And we believe that Wolfsburg must have its own intentions when it gave up its own league. And the Champions League must be their real purpose. And I have to admit that because of the away victory, Wolfsburg has a great advantage in the next Champions League, facing Manchester City, if they can play out to face Bayern's level, Manchester City is more than lucky. ”

Even the British media, which has always been proud and arrogant, expressed their disbelief in Manchester City when facing this game. Although a large part of the reason why they made such a prediction is because Manchester City's past Champions League results are bad enough, but before the game officially starts, even the domestic media has been in decline, after all, it is still rare. Almost everyone in the entire football world knows that Wolfsburg, who are playing at home, has laid an impregnable wall, just waiting for Manchester City to crash into it themselves.

This situation is really terrible for Manchester City. Perhaps after watching the Wolfsburg game, the only one who can not give up confidence is the coach of Manchester City.

"I believe that Manchester City is the stronger one in comparison."

Even if he was not favored by everyone, Pellegrini expressed his confidence in an interview. And his confidence is not completely without reason, compared to the last game, Manchester City is still facing a lot of good news. First of all, the return of Zabaleta on the back line and the return of Aguero on the forward line, these two good news are the biggest difference between Manchester City's game and the previous one.

In their last game, Manchester City lost at home to Wolfsburg. As for the reason for their loss, although Manchester City did a lot of introspection and regret after the game, they also believe that in the game against Wolfsburg, Manchester City players were not able to play with a full main lineup, which is also one of the biggest influences. In the last game, two of City's main players were absent, which in the eyes of Manchester City was their biggest problem, even more important than mistakes and lack of fitness.

One of the major losses for Manchester City in the last leg between the two teams was that Zabaleta did not play after all. Although Richards' performance after coming on the pitch is also decent, compared to their real starting defender Zabaleta, Richards is still much worse. The Manchester City defender was once indeed the leading figure in the Premier League, but perhaps because of the accumulation of injuries, his current strength has long since become unsatisfactory. In the last game, Manchester City was not able to get much benefit from the right-back, but this game is very different from the previous one.

As Manchester City's main full-back, Zabaleta's quality is unquestionable, not only is he very conscientious and excellent in defence, but he is also second in the Premier League assist list this season after Kolarov. And once he returns, Manchester City's wide attack can be strengthened a lot. Compared with the last game, which could only rely on Kolarov's unilateral counterattack, Manchester City's overall tactics can be changed, which is a very big gain.

And another player who has come back is even more concerned. Aguero's return in this game is also highly anticipated. Perhaps for Manchester City now, Yaya Toure is the heart of their team, but the Argentine striker is definitely their darling. For Manchester City, they may have a lot of strikers, but the only one who can really be called the best player in the front line is Sergio Aguero.

Sergio Aguero is arguably one of Manchester City's most famous players. The Argentine prodigy, who rose to fame at a young age and showed his talent early in front of fans around the world, was for a long time considered to be one of the most important figures who would dominate the football world in the future. Argentine genius, Atletico Madrid, Maradona's son-in-law, these titles have given him a lot of halo, since his debut, the rumors with Real Madrid, and the story between Messi and Barcelona have been continuous, it can be said that he is a real superstar.

Forwards will always be more popular than midfielders, especially strikers like Aguero, who have almost reached an average of one goal per game, and will be sought after a lot. He has also been the most eye-catching player in the Manchester City team. Even though he has suffered a lot of injuries this season, which has greatly affected his playing time, once he recovers, he is still City's first choice.

In this game, in order to give him a chance to play, Manchester City specially adjusted their lineup. In this game, they adjusted their formation to 442.Compared to the previous game, they did not let Keylor Navas play again this time. Ahead of Yaya Toure and Finaldinho, City have deployed Nasri and Silva as a midfielder, while Sergio Aguero and Dzeko have played as a striker. Obviously, they used more versatile players and were also prepared to beat Wolfsburg through ground ball combinations in this game.

It is precisely because of his comeback that Manchester City also has greater confidence in the game.

In the last game, Manchester City were not without chances against Wolfsburg, and they got a lot of shots on goal in the game, even hitting the post. It was only because Dzeko's bad luck in the last game that he was unable to score that Manchester City returned with hatred in that game. And this game is naturally different from the previous one, with Aguero playing, Manchester City can also have a better offensive line in this game, and they are naturally no longer worried about not being able to score goals in the face of Wolfsburg.

A team with a good squad is a source of confidence for Pellegrini. And the opponent wants to play the tactics of stubborn defense, he does not find it particularly difficult to deal with: although he does not dare to say that he is a master tactician who breaks through dense defenses, he also has some research in this area. Even if Wolfsburg's defense is really good, but with Manchester City's good squad, he doesn't believe that his team has no chance, and in this game, Pellegrini is also full of confidence.

'Wolfsburg is a really strong team, they are very targeted and very good. But I believe that Manchester City are the stronger ones in comparison, and even if we make some small mistakes at home, I think City still have a good chance of winning. ”

It is precisely because of the better squad and sufficient preparation that when facing reporters before the game, Pellegrini also looked very confident about the game. Manchester City did lose the last game, but that doesn't mean they're weaker than Wolfsburg. There was a lot of luck in that game, and he believes that luck doesn't always favor opponents, especially when his team has a stronger squad.

Your team will win, and no matter how much your opponent shrinks, it won't help - when the game started, Pellegrini also stood next to the pitch, watching the game in front of him with a strong sense of self-confidence.

It's just that as the game progressed, Pellegrini's brows gradually wrinkled. He found that this game seemed to be a little different from what he expected. When the game started, it seemed that the pace of the game was not going as he wanted, and Wolfsburg's approach was somewhat unexpected.

Soon after the game began, Wolfsburg did not seem to have the intention of holding on, but showed some signs of attacking. Manchester City prepared for a half-day to break down the dense doorway, but Wolfsburg played a completely different game. When ten minutes into the game, when Wolfsburg got the ball once, Rodriguez handed it to Shahin, who dribbled the ball forward, and then handed the ball to Perisic who cut horizontally to the front of the penalty area, Pellegrini couldn't help but curse the street in his heart.

In this game, the game was very different from what was said. Why did Wolfsburg not choose to defend and counterattack in this game, but played an all-out attack?
