In the Atletico Madrid dressing room, all the players were relaxed, they were talking to each other about the game, and some people were casually listening to songs to soothe their emotions and discussing how to play in the second half by the way. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The atmosphere at Manchester City was completely wrong.

Mancini's face was gloomy, and he stared at the players as if he were at a potential offender – he wanted to find problems in the players.

No one wants to admit that it's their own problem, and as a fairly successful manager, Mancini is no different, and he doesn't want to admit that he is worse than the young Chinese. He knows in his heart that there is a gap between his tactical thinking and ability to lead the team, which is why the game between Manchester City and Atletico Madrid will be so poor. But he was reluctant to admit it.

So Mancini wants to find problems from the players, if it's a problem with the player's performance, it's not a problem with him leading the team.

But after thinking about it for a long time, Mancini still didn't find it.

Every player worked hard, and although they were two goals behind, there was no player who didn't take the game seriously until the last minute of the first half.

Mancini found himself unable to blame the players.

Of course, he can put the blame on the players regardless of it, but after that, he will lose all his prestige in the team, lose all control, and no player will want to continue to trust him.

It's not worth it at all for the sake of winning or losing a game.

He must face up to his failures.

Through the first half, Mancini was clear that this Manchester City team still has a long way to go if they want to beat Atletico Madrid, not the ability of the players, but the tactical problems.

The match between the two teams perfectly illustrates the importance of tactics and coordination.

Manchester City's individual players are by no means inferior to Atletico Madrid, but the gap between the two teams is too great in terms of the overall coordination of the entire team and the tactics that the players are familiar with.

This is the root cause of failure.

It is precisely because of knowing the reason that Mancini is even more helpless, this is not something that can be solved in a short time, nor can it be solved by a transfer and the introduction of a few stars, it may take a season, two seasons, or even a few seasons for the team to really improve.

Thinking about this, Mancini was puzzled.

That young Chinese, after arriving at Atletico Madrid, it only took one season to build Atletico Madrid into such a player, the tactical style changed a lot, the squad also changed most of them, and then their strength improved by leaps and bounds...... To the eyes of a normal coach, it's incredible.

The speed at which the opposing team is transformed...... It's so fast!

When the same thing comes to himself, there is no way to solve it in a short time, and he can't think of any good way for this game.

A sense of powerlessness welled up in my heart.

Don't...... No matter how hard you try, can't you let Manchester City completely get rid of the influence of the other side?

As long as you coach Manchester City, do you have to live in the shadow of the other side?

Mancini is not willing to admit defeat!

The Italian gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, he decided to break the boat, losing one goal anyway, losing two, three goals, or even more teams, the same is conceding three points, so don't think about other issues, let the team go and attack.

Didn't those fans always hope that Manchester City could play the attacking football that they once had? Let's try to do that, fulfill your wishes, and show you what it looks like to have a complete offensive at Manchester City right now!

So for the rest of the time, Mancini made adjustments to his tactics.

He abandoned the pre-match set-up and proved ineffective defensive tactics in the game, and instead let the team go out and play against Atletico Madrid.

Many players breathed a sigh of relief.

They don't want to continue defending for 45 minutes, the kind of game that only defends and can't see the hope of scoring goals, it's a mental breakdown!

――――

At the start of the second half, City made a substitution, bringing on Sergio Aguero for Frenkie de Jong.

De Jong is a member of the Dutch national team, his performance on the wing has always been very stable, his offensive and defensive ability is not bad, he is a relatively balanced midfielder, Aguero needless to say, he was the number one star of Atletico Madrid last season, this summer's 'transfer king', 77.5 million euros proves his ability, and he can be said to be a pure attacking player.

The substitution meant that City were on the attack, and it also meant that Mancini had admitted his tactical failures, his counter-attacks were not working, and he now had to make an improvised change in attacking tactics.

Wan Sheng was not surprised to see this substitution.

In Manchester City's crisis moment, Aguero is definitely going to play, although he has not yet fully integrated into Manchester City's tactical system, it is difficult to compete with Dzeko for the main position, but Aguero is not limited to the center forward position, in the midfield, wing-back position, he can also perform well.

That's what the best players in the world are capable of.

Manchester City's attacking methods, in fact, are just a few, the system relies on the wing, relying on the middle, but in fact, simply put, their attacking method relies on players and stars to play.

With David Silva in the middle and Nasri and Sergio Aguero on the flanks, there is no option up front, just one Dzeko.

Wan Sheng is not worried about Manchester City's attack.

In world football, it can be said that this way of attacking by relying only on the ability of players has long been behind the times, although sometimes it can play a good power, but in front of Atletico Madrid, this alone is far from enough, not to mention Aguero and Nasri, Atletico Madrid is not even afraid of Messi and C-Ronaldo.

In fact, the key point is also the blockade of Manchester City's middle, that is, the core David Silva.

As long as they can hold on to David Silva's point, it will be difficult for Manchester City to play together, and without cooperation, the players will play in silos, and the threat they can create will be limited.

Before the game, Wan Sheng had an explanation for David Silva, under the 'special care' of Morris and Thiago Silva, how can this former disciple perform?

Wansheng is looking forward to it.

He cocked Erlang's legs and patiently watched the game.

――――

When setting up the style of play against Manchester City before the game, Wan Sheng was mainly aimed at David Silva, and even Aguero did not mention it.

But when it came to the game, the most depressed person was Manchester City striker Dzeko.

Who was the hottest striker in the Bundesliga in the 2008-2009 season? In the first half of the season, Hoffenheim's Ibisevic was more remembered, and looking around the season, many people saw that Dzeko from Wolfsburg had become the representative of a new generation of bombers.

More and more fans remember the 1.93m Bosnian big man for his various shots and goals.

Before joining Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga in 2007, Dzeko only played for Taplias in the Czech First League.

Due to his excellent performances in the Czech Republic, Magath, who was the coach of Wolfsburg at the time, signed him from Templis for 4 million euros. In his initial Bundesliga debut, he scored five goals and provided three assists in 12 games.

In the 2008-09 Bundesliga, Dzeko's second season, the Bosnian striker began to explode.

Dzeko and Grafitt led Wolfsburg on a spree-finish finish with 25 league goals in 33 appearances, scoring a hat-trick in two weeks against Hoffenheim and Hannover in May 2009. In just four games in May, he has scored nine goals.

In the 2009-2010 season, Dzeko scored 23 goals in the Bundesliga and became the top scorer in the Bundesliga.

With his outstanding performance in the Bundesliga, Dzeko has attracted the attention of other league giants, on January 8, 2011, Manchester City officially announced the signing of Wolfsburg striker Dzeko, the contract was signed until June 2015, and the English media revealed that Dzeko's transfer fee was about 27 million pounds, or about 32.5 million euros.

In just half a season, Dzeko has determined his main position, and even the arrival of Sergio Aguero will be difficult to shake.

Although born in Bosnia-Herzegovina, a non-football powerhouse, Dzeko's career can be said to have been smooth sailing, so he is very confident, even a little proud, even if Manchester City has been suppressed in the first half, he believes that it is the whole team, or his teammates, has nothing to do with him.

He believes he can help Manchester City score whenever he gets the chance.

Roberto Mancini changed his tactics in midfield to get his team out and try to score goals, Dzeko felt his chance had come, he had been working well with David Silva and didn't think the Atletico Madrid defence could stop his onslaught, so he felt it wasn't hard for him to score.

But soon reality shattered his illusions.

Dzeko meets Maurice.

It was before this that the 34-year-old midfielder he 'looked down on' made him feel very powerless.

Dzeko is 1.93 meters tall and is a strong man on the football field, and his original idea was to use his body to force the ...... when he encounters Morris, no matter what the opponent does Then, he failed.

Fail three times in a row!

The first time was on the edge of the box, and after Dzeko got the ball, Morris came over to defend. Dzeko is in a good position, as long as he breaks past Morris, he can create a one-on-one ball.

But this time, Dzeko had just started when the ball was broken!

"This guy is so accurate!"

Dzeko sighed, very unwilling to admit defeat, and soon the second chance came, Manchester City launched a quick counterattack, Nasri passed Dzeko diagonally in the middle, Dzeko ran forward with the ball, and Morris stopped in front again.

Dzeko took the ball, stared at Morris, changed direction twice in a row at his feet, and then rushed straight forward.

This direct breakthrough is advantageous for the attacking side.

If two people collide physically, the defending side is likely to block the foul, otherwise it will be difficult to stop the player with the ball.

Morris made the decisive choice...... Shovel!

Morris fell directly to the ground, the soles of his feet accurately tackled the ball, Dzeko and Morris came to a pair of feet, but the standing side must have kicked the side of the ground, so the ball was kicked to the side, and Dzeko fell to the ground without any suspense.

Dzeko grinned and stood up, and Morris gave him a smile and pulled him up in a friendly manner.

It's like embodying the 'competitive spirit'.

But in Dzeko's opinion, that is simply a direct provocation!

And so the third time came.

Dzeko and Morris grabbed the ball together, and the two collided directly, Morris took a step back, and Dzeko fell directly to the ground, covering his arms and grinning.

This is a reasonable reload.

The referee did not give a penalty, Dzeko fell to the ground, and Morris did not continue to kick the ball, but kicked the ball off the touchline, once again showing the spirit of fair play.

Dzeko was completely convinced......

It's not because he was broken three times in a row, and it's not because of the 'competitive spirit' that Morris showed, but because of the direct collision just now, he took the initiative to hit Morris, but it felt like he was on an iron plate.

Dzeko grinned in pain, and it took him half a day to get up from the grass.

He finally understood what team-mate David Silva said, "He's a lot tougher than I thought. ”

Dzeko's attack was unfavorable, and it was also a microcosm of City's overall attack, in other positions, their combination was difficult to play, and the individual attack was also very limited, and the second half played 20 minutes, Manchester City's attack was not effective, they only had two shots on goal, one threatened the Atletico Madrid goal, but Adam Johnson's shot was not able to play hard, and was easily saved by De Gea.

In these twenty minutes, Atletico Madrid also had bad news - Raul Garcia was injured.

Raul Garcia was injured in a scramble with Yaya Toure and he hit his leg when he ended up lying on the ground and didn't get up.

The referee hurriedly signaled for the team doctor to enter the field.

Wan Sheng rushed over to meet the team doctor, who believed that Raul Garcia had a muscle sprain, but further examination was needed.

J Rodriguez came out.

After J Rodriguez replaced Raul Garcia, Atletico Madrid's tactics did not make adjustments, and they were still based on quickly suppressing the attack, and then in the 79th minute of the game, Ozil relied on his personal ability to cut in from the left wing to the middle, and helped Atletico Madrid score the third goal with a sudden cold shot.

At this point, the game loses its suspense.

Seeing Mesut Ozil hit the ball into the goal, Mancini angrily threw the mineral water bottle directly on the ground, spraying water everywhere, and the camera captured this scene, as well as the gloomy face of Manchester City chairman Mubarak.

"Atletico scored the third goal, it was Ozil, last summer, Ozil transferred to Atletico Madrid, Mancini did not stop, in Mancini's team, Ozil is difficult to find a place, and he went to Atletico Madrid, but became the absolute main force on the left, this game also proved his ability. Seeing Mesut Ozil in such a performance must have made Mancini feel bad. ”

"Perhaps...... The same goes for Manchester City president Hosni Mubarak, who would not have sold Mesut Muriden to Atletico Madrid if he had been so good. But in fact, in the two seasons after Wan Sheng's departure, Ozil really struggled to play the main team, and he and his former partner David Silva could not be compared in terms of playing time. ”

"This may be the gap in the level of coaching." The English media don't mind ridiculing Mancini, in their opinion, there is indeed a big gap between Mancini and Wansheng, "Wansheng can put every player in the right position, so that they can play well, look at Atletico Madrid's bench, there are more young stars, these young stars don't mind waiting for more opportunities, Wansheng will not let the core players in the team not find a place." ”

"Mancini is the opposite, Manchester City has a lot of stars, there were Ozil, Torres and so on, but these people have left one after another, Mancini did not stop because these are players who 'don't fit' his tactics......"

"But what is Mancini's tactic? At least so far, we haven't seen that Manchester City's attack in the second half relied more on the individual performance of the frontcourt players, rather than the overall promotion and cooperation. ”

"Mancini and Wan Sheng, the two are indeed quite different in terms of coaching ability, and it is no wonder that Mancini has struggled to succeed at Inter Milan, and the same is true at Manchester City...... Mubarak wants to count on Roberto Mancini to bring a second European Championship trophy to the team, and the only thing the Italian can do is fight for the league title, but no one knows for sure how far their rivals Manchester United will go......
