The first leg of the Champions League round of 16 was a bit frustrating for Manchester City fans. Watching their team go on the spree and not get a decent chance left the fans frustrated. It's been 20 minutes since the game, and their attacks have never been able to get too good chances, which is also a little frustrating.

Before the game, no one thought that Wolfsburg would be able to block Manchester City on the pitch and block Manchester City so much that it would be difficult to grasp. In the face of such an iron wall, Manchester City fans have a delusion that maybe their team is not naturally suitable to play in the Champions League.

When it comes to the Champions League, Manchester City fans have a love-hate affair. Since the Arabs began to inject money into Manchester City, Manchester City's progress in the Premier League can be said to be visible to the naked eye, while their Champions League results have always been embarrassing. is tough internally and weak externally, and this kind of play has made the media talk about them a lot.

For a team, the Champions League results are more important than the league results, and this is the consensus of many teams. Even if a team has a good league result, but the Champions League is not good, it will not be considered a giant, and Manchester City has a deep understanding of this, looking at Arsenal. However, although Arsenal's Champions League results are not good, they also enter the knockout rounds every year, compared to them, Manchester City's results are even worse, which is also extremely helpless.

Manchester City fans have always told themselves that their teams have always played poorly in the group stage, partly because they have always faced strong teams, and secondly, because their teams are not serious enough about weak teams. But now, watching them play like this against Wolfsburg, the fans have a hard time accepting it.

It doesn't matter if they don't play well in the group stage, they still can't play well in the knockout round, which makes Manchester City fans how can they accept that they can't beat Real Madrid and Barcelona, and now they can't even help Wolfsburg, and they have drawn such a good sign, but they just can't win. It's too unreasonable to go on like this.

Your team shouldn't have played so badly, they deserved to win. Since one or two attacks are not effective, then the attack should be continued until it is effective.

As the game progresses. The drum noise around the stadium gradually increased. Fans are cheering loudly for their players, hoping they can continue to attack and score goals for the team.

Their shouts didn't attract much attention from the Wolfsburg players at first: they didn't think City would really keep attacking.

How a team should attack. It must have had its own ideas. Because the fans shouted twice and then changed the tactics temporarily, this kind of stupid thing should not be something that professional teams do. Manchester Manuel Pellegrini, who is also a famous coach who has become famous in La Liga and coached Real Madrid, will not be so stupid no matter what: it is very important for a team to control the change of pace, and it is not easy for any team to maintain a fast break all the time. Manchester City opted to attack from the start. This is because they have a strong confidence in their own strength, but if they keep attacking, then the consumption of their physical strength will be unbearable for them.

The Wolfsburg players are well aware of this, and they are also waiting, and the opponent's attack is not effective, and after starting to shrink, they are waiting for an opportunity to launch a counterattack. In this game, Wolfsburg played quite well. They defended well from the start, didn't give the opposition too many chances, and they were confident that the game would go their way.

But. What the Wolfsburg players didn't expect was that in this game, Pellegrini didn't want Wolfsburg to play so well.

With the sound of the fans, the Wolfsburg players on the pitch also realized that something was wrong: maybe because of the fans cheering, maybe because of the Manchester City tactical problems playing at home, the Manchester City players on the pitch were cheering. It is also true that there is no option to recycle. Time is ticking, but City are still on the offensive and they still have no intention of shrinking at this point.

Manchester City's choice has fans excited. Watching their team not flinch in the face of their opponents, but instead choose to continue to attack, made them all extremely excited. The cheers from the fans continued, and their morale grew as City attacked wave after wave.

On the pitch, Nasri and Silva were instigating attacks again and again, and they kept running and passing football on the pitch, which increased the pressure on Wolfsburg's backfield. As the minutes ticked by, City's attack did not weaken for a moment. Wolfsburg were still pressed at the back and were unable to counter-attack at all.

Manchester City's choice also made Wolfsburg a little unexpected. It's been 20 minutes and they're still attacking, which in itself is very abnormal. The opponent does not pay attention to the change of rhythm, but seems to be enthusiastic and desperate, which is really a little unprepared. This kind of fast-paced attack has been maintained, the physical exertion is very terrible, and their rhythm is also easy to go wrong, if they can't score, then this game, they are completely killing themselves.

This should not be the work of a master tactician. Even the average coach should know very well that this will not work. Pellegrini's approach is simply a bit inexplicable, and the Manchester City players will definitely not be able to stand such a fierce attack.

What the hell is he trying to do by doing this?

Wolfsburg was a little confused about what Manchester City thought. In their opinion, being influenced by the fans, it is purely a hot brain, and this kind of thing should not appear in a famous coach. What is the significance of such an approach, the Wolfsburg players also have a lot of confusion.

The opponent is certainly not a fool, so his game arrangement must have a certain intention. And what his intentions are, this is also the most important thing to pay attention to as an opponent. Wolfsburg was confused about this at first, but as the game progressed, Pellegrini's tactical intentions were gradually fully revealed in front of the Wolfsburg players.

This tactic itself was unexpected by Wolfsburg. Originally, in Wolfsburg's tactical planning, it should have survived the onslaught of the opponent at the beginning of the game, and then launched its own counterattack while the opponent contracted and stabilized the rhythm. But City's attacks never stopped, their counter-attacks could not be carried out, and their game situation was quite passive.

This situation made the Wolfsburg players seem to have caught some problems. It seems that before Manchester City can't hold on, Wolfsburg may not be able to hold on first.

Manchester City's attack has been quite fierce all the time, and they are constantly looking for opportunities to try to break through the gates of Wolfsburg. Maybe it's because they've been in the Champions League for too long, this time the home team suddenly became powerful, and their fans were all excited and cheered, which brought great morale boost to Manchester City and made Manchester City's attack stronger and stronger.

Under their constant attack, Wolfsburg's defense is indeed a bit precarious, and the defense is a matter that needs to be carefully handled in every detail, and the slightest leakage can lead to the failure of the defense. This is especially evident when the opponent's attacking players are of a high level.

City had already pressed past half as Wolfsburg contracted, and their players were attacking up front, and in the 30th minute, they almost took their chance and broke the door.

This time, Yaya Toure picked up the ball in midfield and then opted to dribble in again, his ferocious push drew Gustavo's defence straight away, and after being targeted, he gave the ball to Silva. Silva got the ball and easily handed it to Nasri, who was on the flank, and Nasri played a straight pass back to Kolarov, who was inserted.

Wolfsburg's attack was good, and Manchester City were obviously aware of it, but they also used their skilful combination to constantly tear apart the backline. The cooperation of the four people in the front field has made the defense have a hole, and at this time, it is also their turn to attack the goal.

After Kolarov on the flank, he took a good opportunity on the left flank and sent the ball directly to Dzeko in the box.

In the penalty area, Dzeko accelerated two steps to shake off Kjaer's marking, although he was tall, but his sense of opportunity made him run quite beautifully. Shaking off the markers, he had another smash at his feet to get rid of Naldo's interception, and a Wolfsburg defence was completely shaken off by him in less than three seconds, and then he fired a shot towards the goal

Dzeko's shot was brilliant in angle and force, and if it hadn't been for Benaglio's timely punge, Wolfsburg would have been broken by their opponents at this point. Obviously, City's attack, while a little rampant, was absolutely effective.

Manchester City's players chose to attack, perhaps not in a daze. The bigger reason is the confidence in the attacking ability of their team. Compared to Wolfsburg, they have a better lineup, they already have good substitutes, and they believe that they don't have to wait until they run out of energy to break the door of Wolfsburg.

Compared to a decent style of play, maybe a fierce attack, it is more advantageous for them. If a strong team plays a weak team and doesn't take advantage of the depth of the squad and the home advantage, then I'm sorry for myself.

Their idea is not unreasonable, to attack instead of defending, to make the most of their home advantage and the advantage of sufficient personnel, this is Pellegrini's tactical plan. Relying on Manchester City's better squad depth and better home momentum, they want to completely stifle Wolfsburg in this game. To be continued.
