Chapter 55: The Miracle of the Nordic Aviation Arena!

Brian looked at Wang Xuan in shock, and his shock came from the firmness in Wang Xuan's eyes. That kind of firmness and toughness he has never experienced in any manager he has worked with. He has been with Manchester City for 15 years, but he has never seen a coach so attached to the Manchester derby.

The decline of Manchester City, the strength of Manchester United, has made many coaches abandon such games. Bryan is getting used to doing so, even though he wants City to win. But over the years, City's coaching staff have seen the two derbies of each season more like a normal league, including what they say about their players.

However, Wang Xuan attaches great importance to this derby, and attaches importance to the fact that he can take risks with the ticket to the European knockout round.

In fact, Wang Xuan's idea is very simple. He believes that if a team can't fight with all its strength in the face of sworn enemies in the same city, then why should this team rise to the occasion in times of adversity?

Sometimes, the football game is not about strength, but about momentum.

Why does the Spanish national team always have the title of king of qualifiers in major tournaments? Why haven't they been able to do well in international competitions? Not counting Euro 08, Spain has always given the impression of collapsing at a critical moment.

That's their mentality, or what it has to do with the temperament of the team.

Gorgeous Spain lacks the courage to rise to the occasion in a difficult situation. Such a team may surprise the fans, but it is difficult for such a team to win the championship.

For Wang Xuan, he doesn't want to compete for the top four in the Premier League every year, and then go to the Champions League knockout round for a spin. He wants to be the top coach in world football, he wants a championship! Therefore, the first thing he needs to cultivate is the courage and fighting spirit of the players.

……

Thomas Borg is now at the training ground yelling at his players after he had given up on the second game against Manchester City. But Wang Xuan dared to come to Denmark with only half of the main lineup, which not only made Thomas Borg feel a kind of contempt, but also made him see the hope of his team breaking into the main European competition for the first time.

Midilant built a team in 1999, and they never won the championship, because Wang Xuan called the second brother. They have never been in a European competition before, and this time Thomas Borg sees hope. He added two training sessions on a temporary basis, just to target Manchester City specifically. He wants to play a hearty comeback battle on his home turf.

It was a match that had little attention in Europe, but it was one that was watched in Denmark. And the match, which was followed by the Danish media, soon kicked off at the Nordic Aviation Arena.

City's line-up for this game was very different from previous games, with goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel Jr., Onuoha and Ben Haim partnering at centre-back, and Garrido and Baines on the left and right. In midfield, Hamann and Fernando formed a double midfield, Petrov played as a central midfielder, and Johnson and Ireland were separated from each other, if playing as a single striker.

On the other hand, on the side of Midiland, they sent all their main forces to fight. And before the game, their head coach Thomas Borg gave an emotional speech in the dressing room.

'Man City are strong, you knew it last time at the Etihad. But that's relative to their main line-up, and now they're just sending out a bench. Why did they only play on the bench? Because they will have to face their city rivals, mighty Manchester United. So they chose to retain their strength, but their rotation on such a large scale is not a kind of contempt for us? ”

"Guys, we're being underestimated! What do you say to do? Thomas Borg shouted the words.

Midiland's players followed suit: "Kill them!" ”

"Give them some color!"

With a wave of his hand, Thomas Borg continued, "So, we're here to leave a deep memory for them." We're going to make a big comeback, we're going to beat them, we're going to go to the main European tournament and have a look! ”

As Thomas Borg shouted, Midjraltar's players echoed the shouts. Wang Xuan didn't expect that his large-scale rotation would arouse the morale of his opponent.

From the first minute of the game, Midiland's players were very fierce on the field.

The tactical core of Manchester City's game was to break through, using the speed and skill of the two wings to force Midiland. Then cross it to find it, or cut inside to shoot.

Wang Xuan's tactics are simple and crude, because he believes that even if his team sends most of the substitutes, the strength will still be stronger than the opponent. But he didn't expect his opponent to play with such momentum as soon as he came up.

He didn't want to admit it in front of Manchester United, in order to cultivate the courage of the players in the face of difficulties and the fighting spirit in the face of adversity. But he didn't expect that his approach would arouse the fighting spirit and courage of the Midjrand players.

None of City's players wanted to fight hard, they had already won 3-0 at home, and the second game was basically a passing one.

The mentality of the Manchester City players is in stark contrast to that of their opponents, so the scene of this game is also a big surprise.

Manchester City's players began to be scared psychologically after being viciously put by the opponent a few times. They give up some of the opportunities to the opposite side, most of them are substitutes on the field, and they don't want to get injured in a game that "goes through the motions".

They were supposed to be substitutes, and if they were out for another week or two, who knows if there would be a place for the team when they returned. As a result, Manchester City quickly fell to the bottom of the game. And Midithant's players saw that this game was effective, and they were even more energetic.

With each other in mind, Manchester City's city soon fell out.

Petrov chose to avoid a hard-hitting rush, but his concession had a ripple effect. The Manchester City players had just pressed to get ready to attack, only to find that their midfielders had lost the ball. Some people want to fight back on the spot, while others choose to defend back, and the opponent's counterattack speed has been raised.

After just two passes, Midjlandt's striker formed a one-on-one shot.

Schmeichel couldn't stop it from going into the net despite having his hands on it.

1 to 0! Just 13 minutes into the game, City were already 1-0 down.

Wang Xuan's angry hand on the sidelines was thrown to the ground, and he scolded even more. Unfortunately, Wang Xuan's anger failed to help Manchester City change the situation on the field. After scoring one, the Middilant players went crazy, their frantic pressing and quick counter-attacks actually changed the score to 3-0 at half-time!

The entire Scandinavian Aviation Arena was boiling over, with live DJs shouting frantically while the TV commentators kept shouting, "Scandinavian Airlines Arena Miracle!" Scandinavian Aviation Arena Miracle! Scandinavian Aviation Arena Miracle! ”
