Chapter 227: How could this be?
Watching the football crash into the net, everyone was stunned, even the referee Bol paused, no one would have thought that the goal would come so quickly.
How many minutes has the game started?
This goal. It's too fast, right?
Darren Bent himself was stunned, he didn't expect to score with his first shot, he was. Scored in the Manchester derby?
Immediately he reacted, he really scored, and he helped the team lead Manchester United away from home!
He jumped up from the ground, flailing his arms so hard that the City fans erupted into huge cheers in the stands, and Sky TV commentator George Woodgate chanted, "Darren Bent-"
“Gooooooooooooooooooooal!!!!!!”
"Darren Bent! Darren Bent! ”
'He scored a brilliant goal! Just five minutes into the game, he gave City the lead! It's a Manchester derby! It's still a big battle for the top spot in the Premier League! Darren Bent, who took just five minutes to break down the United goal! ”
“0:1! 0:1! ”
――――
Many media outlets have analysed the game before the game.
This derby at Old Trafford is a difficult one for Manchester City to play.
One is that Manchester United is not as turbulent as last season, they have been making great strides in the league and the Champions League, and in the first nine rounds of the league, they have only drawn with Chelsea and won all other games, a form that even Manchester City cannot compare.
The second is Manchester City, due to the sudden rise last season, many teams have studied Manchester City, such as Aston Villa, which is targeted to play with Manchester City, and finally drew with Manchester City. Of course, for some small ball clubs. Even if they know how to target Manchester City's tactics, the gap in quality is irreparable, so they should lose or lose, but it's different against a team like Manchester United, at least City don't have the same tactical advantage as last season.
Then the two teams really only depend on the players playing.
The analysis of these media is very convincing, Manchester City players can't help but nod their heads when they see it, and Darren Bent is the same, although the manager has laid out new tactics, but having tactics does not necessarily mean that there is an advantage, but now the game has just begun. He helped the team score.
While he was delighted, he was also surprised.
Surrounded by many teammates, Darren Bent couldn't help but look at the coach's box, the figure on the sidelines was also surrounded by other people in the coach's box, everyone was celebrating the goal.
Although he couldn't see that figure, Darren Bent couldn't help but wonder if the coach really had a magic power to make the team invincible. As long as he arranges the tactics, he will definitely be able to suppress the opponent and even defeat the opponent?
Darren Bent was somewhat convinced.
At the same time, Wan Sheng on the sidelines was also surrounded. Other coaches, team doctors and substitutes gathered around him and celebrated together.
Wan Sheng originally wanted to make a stylish celebration, but unfortunately the others didn't give him a chance, and Diamares hugged him immediately. Soon the rest of the crowd gathered around, and he could only stand in the crowd cheering for the goal.
He hugged everyone warmly.
Manchester City's coaches and players are venting their emotions to the fullest.
This Manchester derby caused them a lot of depression before the game. Even if there is a backbone in terms of tactics, style of play and morale, but in the face of a tournament like this, everyone will still have pressure, everyone will think about what the game will be like, and the players will think about what it will be like if they play.
What no one expected was that the team would take the lead so quickly!
Even if Wan Sheng developed tactics and style of play, they did a lot of hard work and work for the game, but the work is not necessarily rewarding, and it is even more obvious in this football field, both teams will do their work, but only one team can produce results, they simply dare not imagine that they can lead Manchester United so quickly.
Pierce squeezed Diamares away and rushed over to hug Wan Sheng, "How does it feel, Wan Sheng?" ”
"Goal! It's so good! Wan Sheng said excitedly, and immediately gave a thumbs up to the players on the field, shouting, "Darren, well done!" And Ivan, and everyone, you all did a great job! It's beautiful! ”
"Hahahaha!" Diamares smiled next to him and said, "I didn't expect them to score so quickly!" ”
"I didn't expect it either!" Pierce continued.
"Don't worry!" Wan Sheng waved his fist and said, "This is just the beginning!" ”
Diamares and the two looked at each other and shouted at the same time, "That's right, it's just the beginning!" ”
Pierce was actually very touched.
At the beginning, he retired at Manchester City, after Keegan left his post, he had the opportunity to get the position of head coach, but Wan Sheng parachuted directly to Manchester City and took his place, and then Manchester City invited him to become an assistant coach, Pierce was a little reluctant, but thinking that he did not have a job, he finally agreed.
His initial idea was to spend two years at Manchester City and then find an opportunity to become manager himself.
But after following Wan Sheng to lead Manchester City, he found that he still had a lot to learn - the coach and the players are different, the perspective of the team and the game is also different, and the work is completely different.
In a year, he was extremely convinced of Wansheng.
A Premier League title is enough to say a lot, not to mention that City have also won the Carabao Cup, which was almost unthinkable before.
Over the summer, Pierce pondered the question of whether he should follow his original idea and look for a chance to become a real manager.
By now, he had changed his mind.
If you let yourself coach a team, you have to face all the pressure, whether you can do it well, not to say, just that kind of pressure and workload is enough to overwhelm him, that kind of life may not be what he wants, but follow this young Chinese, coach a team together, he will succeed, so he will also succeed.
Perhaps, it is more successful to follow him than to go it alone!
More importantly, the Chinese is also very good to himself, signing a new contract in the summer and raising his salary to £450,000 a year, which is even higher than the head coach of some small clubs, and higher than many professional players.
In any case, you should be satisfied.
Thinking of this, Pierce is full of expectations for the future, and now that this is the case, what will the future hold?
――――
'Five minutes, it only took five minutes for City to take the lead.'
"This Manchester derby was a great scene and we are looking forward to what the next game will be!"
'It was Darren Bent who scored, but we could see that the goal just now was the cooperation of all the Manchester City players, and when they pressed hard, the attack was organised, and the first few players changed positions frequently, and it took continuous runs to open the Manchester United defence.
"This kind of attack is rare even for Manchester City led by Wan Sheng."
Sky TV commentator George Woodgate said:
Actually, Woodgate was surprised, he was not surprised that Manchester City scored, even if Manchester City won, he would not be surprised, because Manchester City had already done it last season, but just five minutes into the game, Manchester City was ahead? Especially looking at the opening of the game, Manchester City were completely dominant, and they almost attacked around Manchester United in the half.
What's going on?
While he was analysing the goal, he was also thinking about this question, just now, like many media, he felt that Manchester City was too risky to play like this, did they not want to defend?
But Manchester United on the other side is definitely not a soft persimmon!
Can be a twist. Manchester City have scored!
It's not a matter of risk, could it be that City are deliberately coming up and playing like this in order to quickly gain a goal advantage?
Yes, quite possibly.
It must be so!
George Woodgate feels like he's found the answer.
The reporters in the stadium media gallery were also discussing, "They must have just started trying to sneak attack one!" They did a lot of preparation and just wanted to do it! ”
"It's despicable! That Chinese is simply despicable! ”
"What meanness! Football games are like that! ”
"It's tactics! Wansheng, well done! ”
"What tactics, this is despicable! That Chinese didn't dare to let the team play with Manchester United properly, he would only use this method to steal the victory! ”
"It's okay, it's Manchester United time! Head-to-head, Manchester City are no opponent! ”
"Not necessarily, Manchester United didn't win last season!"
“。”
There was an argument between Manchester United and Manchester City reporters in the media box, but they agreed that Manchester City was going to 'sneak attack' one in the opening game, and if they succeeded, then the game would return to normal, Manchester City had a goal advantage, but a normal game against Manchester United would not necessarily lose, after all, the game had just begun.
That's what the media thinks, so do the football analysts and commentators, and so do the Manchester City players on the pitch.
Manchester City just used a big offensive to look for opportunities, "sneak attack" to score one, they used the sudden attack to gain an advantage, not really let go of their hands and feet to attack.
Then when the game resumes, they will go back to normal.
Thinking of this, the Manchester United players all exhaled, the pressure on Manchester City's attack just now was really a bit too much, in their minds, it was good that the game returned to normal, at least they didn't have to face so much pressure.
Normal attack, they won't be afraid of Manchester City!
But after the game restarted, everyone found out that they were wrong, Manchester City did not slow down the attack because of the goal, maybe they were 'carried away' by the goal, and after regaining possession, their whole formation pressed again.
They continued to press the United half, with no hint of contraction.
How so? (To be continued.) )
