Who is Manchester City's number one player?

If this question had been put last season, Robinho would have been the answer. Now that Robinho has left, this question has become a question that is often discussed among Manchester City fans, and the answers are varied, such as David Silva, who has scored a double-double, Robben, who has repeatedly scored in key games, and Bale who has shown great potential...... It's one of the answers, but if you change the question to who is the most important person at Manchester City, the answer is remarkably consistent.

David Silva:

The two sides continued to scuffle, and the game remained deadlocked.

“…… Suarez shoots! The ball hit Vidic's body and bounced off the bottom line, a corner. This was also the first corner of the game for Manchester City, a pass from David Silva, Suarez gave a thumbs up to David Silva, a beautiful pass! Wes Brown is not Ferdinand after all, how can he let David Silva get rid of it. ”

The game was still long, David Silva was not in a hurry to take the corner, but slowly walked to the corner flag area, then picked up the ball thrown by the caddy, bent down to put it in the corner flag area, took a few steps back, and looked at the Manchester United penalty area.

In this game, he was marked by the opponent Fletcher's whole process, although the direct competition between the two sides he occupied the top, but also often delayed the fighter, he was not brainless, after a few times, he began to change his thinking, a duel is what Fletcher wants, but not what he wants, he has a more important task, so he made some changes, he made his position closer to the opponent's penalty area.

This corner is the result of the change.

Set-piece defence. Much the same, marking people and levels is the key. Due to Rio Ferdinand's absence. Manchester United's defence was far from their strongest in this game, with Nemanja Vidic still their commanding height. He was also tasked with the same Manchester City top spot, Vincent Kompany, and the referee blew the whistle after stopping a couple of pushes and shoves in the box.

Just when everyone in the penalty area moved to the goal of the penalty area in an instant, a figure suddenly rushed out of the penalty area, at this time, David Silva's ball did not go to the penalty area, and a ground ball passed to the receiver who came out,

"Tactical corner!"

Not much of a surprise, but Andy Gray was a real eye-catcher.

It was Suarez who came out of the box to pick up David Silva. The Uruguayan received the ball, turned easily and faced the still dense penalty area.

With the exception of Michael Carrick who came out to press Suarez, the rest of the United players did not dare to let their guard down because their respective targets were still motionless in the box, which in some ways was a set-piece, but closer.

All eyes were on Suarez, waiting for his next move. But he also didn't send the ball into the box, but turned the arch of his foot and sent the ball in the direction of the baseline.

There, it's David Silva.

A qiē is just in the blink of an eye. David Silva, who entered the penalty area from the corner flag area, was unmarked, and Patrice Evra, who had been protecting the back post and had just woken up from a dream, rushed up immediately, but it was too late.

……

Linson's two eyes were looking straight in the direction of Manchester United's penalty area.

The individual performance of the star, the mistakes of the opponents, the misjudgments of the referees...... There are many factors that determine a top-level fight. But there are very few that can make the coach decide before the game, for this game. Lin Sen has enough judgment, and the most likely situation is that neither side can help the other. The deadlock of the competition has always been the most difficult to break. Among them, the head coach can make a fuss, and set-pieces are undoubtedly one of them.

This special set-piece arrangement is one of Linsen's winners and losers, and this arrangement can only be a one-off arrangement, because Manchester United can't let you do the same for a second time.

David Silva...... Will he shoot? No! He opted for a pass and Vidal cut in at high speed from the back and shot!! ”

Vidal did not have many offensive tasks in this game, he hardly played much in the positional attack, his main task was to defend, except for set-pieces, especially this set-piece, he played the role of a lore.

David Silva's pass was just right as always.

All Vidal needs to do is adjust his posture and use all his strength!

“Vidal……………… GOALLLL……”

When the ball went over Kucchak's fingertips like a meteor and drove the net high, the entire Wembley Stadium suddenly became a fire and ice sky. The United fans in the west stand were silent, as if it were icy and snowy. The Manchester City fans in the east stand raised their arms in the air, and it became a sea of joy.

Seeing Ada, who was sitting next to her, jump up from her seat like a child, and then dance happily, Boya knew that she would undoubtedly look very conspicuous if she sat upright, so she also stood up and applauded.

In the stands on the other side, Gary Cook raised his arms high, and next to him, Mubarak also stood up, smiling and clapping unhurriedly with both hands.

Lin Sen on the field first raised his right arm and clenched his right arm at the moment of the goal, and then turned around and high-fived Kidd and others in celebration.

In the 31st minute, City were the first to break the deadlock. It was Chilean midfielder Vidal who opened the door for them, the player who came to Manchester City for 16 million, and this game was more about defending at the back, and no one expected that he would be the first to get so close to the opponent's goal and take the first shot for Manchester City. Now, the pressure is on United's side. ”

Pressure?

Naturally, there was, but Ferguson, who was sitting in the coach, didn't even lift his butt the whole time, he just looked at the Manchester City players who were celebrating in the stadium. It was a bit of a surprise to concede, but it wasn't anyone's fault. This is far from the time when he needs to make adjustments, because there is still time for the game, and the balance between the two sides has not been broken by the change in the score.

The game was also as Ferguson's judgment, Manchester City's goal, in addition to making the morale of Manchester City a little more vigorous in Linsen's eyes, and making Manchester United's players fluctuate a little at the moment of conceding the goal. It didn't overwhelm the balance of power in the game, and the two sides were still back and forth. The middle of the midfield is still wall-to-wall, and the two wings are still the focus of the attack for both teams.

The game soon came to stoppage time in the first half. Because of Manchester City's goal, the referee gave a minute of stoppage time.

But this minute, quietly.

After the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, Linson saw Ferguson quickly get up from the dugout and walk into the corridor.

At half-time, Manchester City was ahead, which was a normal score. But from now on, Ferguson cannot continue to be "indifferent" to falling behind as he did in the first half, because from the second half, the "1:0" that seemed to be easy to change will gradually become the pressure of Manchester United over time. So, Ferguson had to make some changes in the second half, and that change didn't necessarily come at the start of the second half, but it certainly did.

As for Lin Sen, one to zero was not enough to make him get carried away, but no matter what, at least, he could enter the locker room with a better mood.

The atmosphere in the locker room was nice due to the lead. Although he was not elated, the expressions of the players were relatively relaxed, and the emotions were also very relaxed, and Lin Sen, who walked into the locker room, had no intention of adding unnecessary pressure to the players. But after thinking about it for a while, I still feel that I should pour cold water on it.

"Guys."

After letting go of the half-time highlights, Lin Sen clapped his hands first. Draw the attention of all the team members and say. 'We did a good job in the first half, so. Probably I want to tell you something, you all know very well. But as your head coach, I still have to be verbose. Because at this very moment, can you imagine what the conversation is going to be on that side now? ”

As he spoke, Linson pointed in the direction of the Manchester United dressing room.

"The guy over there who is standing in the position I'm standing in now, I don't think I need to introduce him. I don't think I need to introduce the group of people over there who are sitting where you are sitting right now. I would say that they are Manchester United! Guys! I hope you will be able to rediscover the meaning of the name. It's a team that you can't let your guard down even if you're down for 89 minutes. Because ......"

Looking at the faces that gradually changed from relaxed to focused, Lin Sen said word by word: "Victory belongs to the team that leads to the end, not the team that has been in the league for forty-five minutes." ”

……

In the stands, the elder Miller did not leave his seat at halftime, not only did he not leave, but his eyes did not even leave the field, although at this time the court was more empty greenery except for some interactive programs.

The MCFC bar closed its doors today and Miller Sr. made good on his promise to himself that he would not watch the game in front of the TV as long as City were able to reach the final. At the moment, Manchester City are on the leading side, and although it is just one goal, it is enough to make the Manchester City fans happy, at least more than the fans on the opposite side.

At this time, old Miller saw a person walking out of the corridor, a silver-haired, slightly fat figure, this figure is not only familiar to Manchester United fans, but also to Manchester City fans, but on the one hand, because of love, on the other hand, because of hate. Miller Sr. doesn't remember how much humiliation this man has inflicted on Manchester City fans, including himself.

Just when this figure walked to the coach's seat and just sat down, Yongdao walked out of another person, a figure with black hair and black eyes, and a figure that was obviously much thinner than the figure just now, and the old Miller watched him slowly walk to the coach's seat in the other direction.

Although he has been in Manchester for less than a season, he has already occupied a position in the hearts of Manchester City fans, because this season's Manchester City under his hands has shown a kind of Manchester City fans for a long time, called self-confidence.

Two draws against Liverpool, two wins over Chelsea, beaten Manchester United, beaten Arsenal...... There is no team in the entire Premier League that is familiar with the strong team, and no team can take advantage of him.

How can I be confident?

Quite simply, make winning a habit. (To be continued......)
