Chapter 66: Waiting

Wang Xuan's shameless remarks have been recognized by almost everyone, if he is not a genius head coach, how can he design such a magical routine?

In the world of football, the head coach can only influence the game by setting up the game before the game and adjusting at half-time. When will you be able to influence the game in this way? There is no doubt that Wang Xuan did it. He allowed the manager's energy to influence the game more deeply. It's not just a manager who can do it, it's the twelfth man on the pitch!

To be able to move ahead of the strong arch-rival Manchester United, the players are obviously in a very good mood. After taking the lead, Wang Xuan also made adjustments to the original rigid plan. He no longer asks his players to keep defending like they did in the first half, but he asks them to attack.

Cristiano Ronaldo's mentality has exploded, and his performance in the second half must not be as active as in the first half, because the team's pressure on the defensive end is much less. In addition, it is Manchester City who are leading now, and the players must have the advantage in terms of mental state. Therefore, Wang Xuan chose to let the team attack.

In the locker room next door, the old man Ferguson's saliva was profuse. Then he made a tactical change, and he didn't dare to let the team continue to bombard Manchester City. If City had relied on a counter-attack to score one more goal, the game would have really come to an end. Ferguson did not dare to gamble on the outcome of this game, and he chose to seek stability in the decision.

However, if it is Wang Xuan who is now on Ferguson's point of view, he may still stick to his previous style of play. The style of play that United played in the first half was actually very successful, with City conceding just one goal, not only because of their strong backline, but also because of a factor of luck. Even Wang Xuan has to admit that Manchester United's attack is very layered and under pressure. He is also a little fortunate that he has only conceded one goal.

At this point, the second half of the game is about to begin, and Andy Gray and Martin Taylor are wrapping up the first half of the game.

'In the first half, United had 66 per cent possession and scored a goal with six of their 13 shots hitting the woodwork. Manchester United, on the other hand, had just three shots on goal, three of which hit the woodwork. But they scored twice. City's attacking efficiency is truly intimidating. ”

'I still remember the goal that Manchester City scored again, and it was really the perfect attacking routine that could only be played by two talented players.

"Well, the second half is about to begin. Andy, how do you think the two teams will change in the second half? ”

'Change is a must and City are likely to continue the same style of play they did in the last minutes of the first half, as they did before. And Manchester United may no longer choose the extreme style of attacking, especially at the end of the first half, Robinho's hanging shot, which absolutely shocked the old man's cold sweat. Manchester United may recover a little, while Manchester City may opt to attack. ”

'It looks like the second half will be more exciting than the first.

"Perhaps! But after watching the first half of the game between these two teams, I'm very much looking forward to the performance of both teams in the second half. ”

"This game is really interesting, and the style of play of the two teams also makes this game very exciting. Let's wait and see! ”

The pace of the second half was not much different from what Andy Gray said.

The Reds continued to maintain a 4-2-3-1 formation, reverting to their previous tactical routine. Manchester United, on the other hand, also recycled their formation and abandoned their aggressive attacking style of play.

Seeing that Manchester United's tactics had changed, Wang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. If United continue to play the way they played in the first half, he is really afraid that his team will not be able to hold on. If Manchester United's style of play is turned on, it's definitely not just a goal. If they do, who knows if their trident duo, which is making the world blush, beat their team into a sieve.

The reason why Wang Xuan still uses the 4-2-3-1 formation is to give Ferguson a signal - I am not afraid that you will continue to attack. But in reality, he did it just to scare people.

"King, why did you let Elano go up? We continued to defend and there was a good chance of three points. Brian was a little puzzled, no matter how he asked before, Wang Xuan refused to say. Now that the game has begun, Wang Xuan should also solve his doubts.

Wang Xuan's eyes were still paying attention to the changes on the field, and he said calmly: "If we continue to defend, we can't hold it." ”

"Can't hold it? But we kept it well in the first half! If it weren't for Ronaldo's inspiration, we would probably still have kept a clean sheet by now. ”

Wang Xuan shook his head and said, "If it weren't for our good luck and Hart's excellent performance, we would be the ones who are lagging behind." ”

"And why are you doing this?"

'I did this just to send a signal to Ferguson that I'm not afraid of their attacks. If I keep the team defending, Ferguson won't be able to recover and stabilize. And the most important thing is that we can keep one half, but not the whole game. Especially after 75 minutes, it will be more and more difficult to defend. And now let the team attack, Ferguson may choose to stabilize and regain the formation in the two-phase decision, even if he still chooses to attack, we have a chance to live. ”

Brian didn't expect that Wang Xuan would think so much about a simple tactical arrangement. And it seems that Wang Xuan's guesses and calculations are accurate.

"You think so much." Brian had some admiration.

Wang Xuan shook his head and said: "I'm afraid that I will think less, and I can't think too much against an opponent like Manchester United." ”

"Wang's attitude and talent are top-notch, no wonder he can become the head coach of the team." Brian's opinion of Wang Xuan has changed drastically at this moment, and he already has a faint admiration for Wang Xuan in his heart.

Ferguson sat in the dugout, his brow furrowed. He always felt that he had missed something, but now the Reds were not bombarded with Manchester City like they were in the first half, but at least they kept the pitch low. The old gentleman shook his head at this time, feeling that he was thinking too much.

Manchester City came out, while United recovered slightly. The two teams were in a stalemate on the pitch. But Wang Xuan knew that such a situation was only temporary. Because he and Alex Ferguson want the three points, that change is a must. It's just that Wang Xuan won't change first, he's waiting for Ferguson to make a move.
