Manchester United coach Alex Ferguson found that the strategy that his coaching staff came up with to deal with Manchester City did not have much practical effect, in the face of Manchester United's tough pressing, Manchester City responded calmly, and even when the team pressed too far forward, he had to worry about the defense, just like Manchester City's offensive just now, which was launched by several Manchester United players in the front field, and directly threatened the Manchester United goal.

Ferguson was taken aback.

He didn't expect Manchester City to have such a strong control of football and such a good ability to cooperate with each other.

It seems very simple, it's just that the players are constantly passing to each other, and the overall situation seems to be 'forced' by Manchester City, but in fact, Manchester City is not a little flustered at all, and their formation has always been very stable, otherwise Manchester United would not have found a chance until now.

That said, United's response tactics didn't work.

Ferguson frowned.

He has understood Manchester City's style of play, and at the same time he is also gnashing his teeth at this style of play, which is to use continuous passing to achieve the purpose of control, so as to get the initiative, of course, this is right, but it has been controlled like this, and there is no chance to not attack at all, which is too dirty to kick!

Ferguson got up from his seat, walked to the sidelines, and watched the game seriously.

The current situation is not good for Manchester United!

The contrast between the two teams is like a lever placed in a fixed position, and when it is in balance, both teams will have a chance.

Now the lever is starting to tilt.

What Ferguson noticed was just beginning to tilt, and the amplitude of the shift on both sides was not large, but it certainly increased over time.

Now on the field, Manchester United's players' mentality is a bit unbalanced.

They found that the team's pressing against Manchester City was ineffective, but the excessive pressing allowed City to find a chance and almost score. They weren't prepared for it, you know, they've been preparing for this game for a long time, and the coaching staff has studied the Manchester City game video over and over again, and each of them has watched a lot of Manchester City games and kept Manchester City's style of play in mind. And follow the command of the coaching staff to practice the style of play.

They believe that as long as they press harder, they will be able to take the initiative in the game.

But now that the initiative is still in the hands of Manchester City, they have no way to do it, and continue to press all over the field according to tactics? It didn't work at all, they felt like they were being played with like monkeys.

If you press harder, then the opponent can easily get opportunities, and this degree of certainty is a headache.

For a moment they didn't know what to do.

Football is at the feet of Manchester City most of the time, and they don't go up to grab it. If they don't rob, time is just consumed little by little, and they feel that their patience has been worn out

Fans in the stands are already starting to boo.

Some of the boos were given to Manchester United, and the fans were very dissatisfied with Manchester United's performance, Manchester United is famous for being the best team in the world, but now they don't see Manchester United's strength, but most of the time Manchester United can't get the ball.

Some of them are Manchester United's own fans, who are loyal to the team. But if they are unhappy with the team's performance, they will also express it directly.

Before, they had never worried about a city derby. Because Manchester United will always be the winner, but now it is different, Manchester United and Manchester City have lost both meetings this season, not to mention not taking advantage, and the first meeting was a humiliating big loss.

If once or twice was just an accident, what about now?

Manchester United and Manchester City still have no advantage at all. They couldn't see any hope of scoring a goal, let alone a win, so they booed their displeasure.

There was also a large number of local neutral fans who also expressed their dissatisfaction with the whole game with 'boos'.

Before the game, the media publicity for the game was very hot. It was called an 'exotic Manchester derby', but the game was clearly not as advertised, and the game didn't look intense at all, even a little lethargic, so fans were unhappy with the performance of both teams.

There are also people who are directly dissatisfied with Manchester City, they think that Manchester City's style of playing with the ball is too boring, although their cooperation is wonderful, but long-term control of the ball and not attacking will also make people feel boring.

In all kinds of mentalities, the boos in the stands are not small.

The Manchester United players were already at a loss for the game and didn't know how to play, but now when they hear the boos, they subconsciously feel that it is all against the team, so the pressure on them has increased a lot.

The City players played patiently, they didn't care about the boos, but they gloated a little because they knew that a large part of it must have been given to Manchester United.

Wan Sheng stood on the sidelines, looking left and right.

The boos in his ears were nothing to him, but he was in the mood to see the louder noises coming from the stands on the other side.

And he grinned at the corner of his mouth.

This scene happened to be captured by the camera, and a commentator immediately interpreted, "It seems that Wansheng is very satisfied with the current game"

Wansheng is of course satisfied.

For him, the most important thing is the game, it doesn't matter what the fans think of the game, the most important thing is to win the final victory.

Now Manchester City have the advantage.

Although the score is still 0-0, the team has a better performance on the pitch than Manchester United and has more chances to score.

Seeing the team pass the ball back to the backcourt, Wan Sheng simply returned to the coach's seat and sat in the position and crossed Erlang's legs.

He didn't feel like he had to worry too much

The situation is that the more the players play, the more disorganized they are, they don't know exactly how to play, so the players up front start to go it alone.

This approach will not achieve much results, Manchester City's defense is not afraid of the opposing star alone, because it is stupid to do so, even if the technical strength is good, it is difficult to break through the defense of more people, which is equivalent to giving the ball to Manchester City.

In this way, Manchester United's attacking threat is less, and Manchester City's defense is easier.

Soon City launched another wave of attacks.

This time it was Morris who started it, and after seeing that United's formation was a little shaky, he decisively handed the ball to the wing.

Musampa received the pass, broke through with the ball at the first time, took the ball to the penalty area smoothly, and quickly broke through to the bottom line.

Manchester United fans are starting to get worried.

In fact, in general, they are not too worried about the goal, after all, Manchester City's attack is too little, and the football is still on the side, far from the extent of threatening the goal, from that Ivan Crewe shot, they know what the power of Manchester City's attack is, that can be said to be a careless, football will be kicked in front of the goal, so when Musampa took the ball, almost all the cameras pointed over, and the fans who paid attention to the game also paid attention to him.

Someone also noticed the whole arena.

When Musampa was dribbling the ball, several players in the Manchester City midfield ran forward frantically, which made it impossible for Manchester United to defend against everyone, and leakage was almost inevitable, but fortunately Musampa was stuck to Brown and couldn't pay attention to which teammate had a chance, even if he knew, it was not easy to pass the ball accurately.

At that moment, Musampa suddenly kicked the ball back with his back heel, and this unexpected pass surprised all the Manchester United players who saw it!

"Sun Jihai! Sun Jihai! ”

"Sun Jihai plugged in and received a pass!" Many commentators exclaimed, "There is no one around him, that's a good position!" ”

In an instant, the eyes of all those who followed the game were all on Sun Jihai.

He became the center of attention for everyone!

On the playing field, Sun Jihai had already received a pass.

As a 'jack-of-all-trades' player, Sun Jihai is still very important at Manchester City.

Before Wan Sheng did not coach the team, Sun Jihai was the 'first substitute' in Manchester City's backfield, although there was no absolute main position, but this 'first substitute' played even more time than many main players.

After Wan Sheng took charge of Manchester City, Sun Jihai felt that he was about to reach the peak of his career, because he believed that as long as he performed well enough, the team would definitely have his place.

Originally, Sun Jihai was actually discriminated against, in European football, Asian players will always receive a little discrimination, many Europeans think that Asians are not good at football, not to mention, those who are really racist, just skin color is enough to become the reason for their discrimination.

Some European coaches feel the same way, because the average Asian player is underperforming, and they look at the performance of Asian players with tinted glasses.

But after Wan Sheng took charge of Manchester City, he definitely didn't have this problem, and he at least had a fair and even favorable playing field for himself.

The result was the same, he had a starting position at the beginning of the season and he was consistent for several games in a row.

What I didn't expect was that the good times didn't last long, and the competition in the team was too fierce.

His biggest problem is that he doesn't have a very good performance.

Maybe for the backfield players, mediocrity is also good, consistency is the most important thing, but at Manchester City, which is aiming for the league title, this is no longer the case, mediocre players can only be substitutes, the main force is those who are strong, experienced players, or those who are talented talents.

In the centre-back position, Distin belongs to the former, and Kopele Ferreira belongs to the latter, so even Dunn has no main position.

Compared with Dunn, Sun Jihai is already much better.

He doesn't think he can do better than Dunn, and his strength is that he can play a lot of positions.

Just like now, when the team's side defense is short of people, he has the opportunity to start, which is not bad, but Sun Jihai still hopes that he can perform well, just like those teammates who shine under the camera.

Now's your chance!

He followed the coach's tactics to run and got this good opportunity.

There is no one around him to defend, and he chooses to dribble or pass, which will be directly related to the result of the team's attack, and he has become the most critical person in the attack! (To be continued......)
