Wansheng didn't bother to say anything more to Stoilov, and didn't bother to pay attention to what the Bulgarian media said.

He put all his energy into preparing for the game.

For the first Champions League game of his coaching career, Wan Sheng attaches great importance to it, he is not thinking about how to win, but how to win beautifully, win without suspense, win perfect, for this goal, two days before the game, the whole Manchester City team is dedicated to preparing for the game, Wan Sheng focused on analyzing the opponent, and did targeted arrangements and training, as for the fight with Stoiloff, it is meaningless for the perfect win, and it may be self-defeating, so he did not talk about the game before the game, but was dedicated to preparing for the game with the media.

This attitude has made the Bulgarian media even more arrogant!

In fact, when they reported Stoilov's confidence, they still questioned Sofia Levsky's strength, although Sofia Levski entered the Champions League group stage historically, but after all, he tried his best to play the qualifiers, and then entered the group stage.

What about Manchester City?

Manchester City are the champions of the Premier League, they don't need to play in qualifying, they go straight to the group stage!

The first in the Premier League is not the first for the time being, just talking about the process of entering, you know that the two teams are also Champions League rookies, but in fact there is still a big gap.

Take the key high school entrance examination as an example, Manchester City is like a student who studies very well and can even win the first prize in the Olympic competition, they are directly submitted to the key high school, and among all the escort students, Manchester City is a very good one, they don't need to take the exam at all to pass directly.

Sofia Levsky is different, they worked hard to prepare for the exam, and then they got into it with great difficulty, not entirely because they were able to get in, but when they took the exam, they just caught up with the questions they would have, and they were lucky enough to get in.

That's the difference in how the two teams get into the Champions League group stage.

Just by looking at the process, you know that Sofia Levski's strength cannot catch up with Manchester City. What's more, in terms of real strength comparison, the two teams are not comparable, and the players in various positions of Manchester City may not have any advantage compared with other European giants, but they are more than a notch better than Sofia Levski, plus this game is played at Manchester Stadium, how many chances does Sofia Levski have to take away the three points?

The Bulgarian media's previous coverage of Stoilov's confidence was nothing more than a boost to Bulgarian fans and a morale boost for Sofia Levsky.

But now it's different.

When I saw Wan Sheng, as the manager of Manchester City, he kept silent about the game. When they only talked about preparing for the war, they felt that Sofia Levsky had a good chance.

Look at how much this young Chinese attaches importance to Sofia Levsky, he keeps talking about preparation, he must not be sure about the game, doesn't this mean that Sofia Levsky has a chance?

As a result, their analysis of the game was more skewed towards Sofia Levski, as if Sofia Levski could certainly take the three points away from the Manchester stadium.

Perhaps only the Bulgarian media, which knows little about Wansheng, will do this, on the part of the English media. There is no statement that Sofia Levski will win, even the media that are hostile to Manchester City are sensible, they recognize the strength of Manchester City, so they will not be dizzy to say that Sofia Levski will win. At most, they just said, "Manchester City have no European experience and may not do well in European competitions." ”

That's all.

As for Sofia Levsky? If a Bulgarian team can threaten the Premier League title, it will be a joke!

But Bulgarian fans don't see much in the English media. So they were very optimistic about this away game, and there were a lot of Bulgarian fans who flew in from Bulgaria to cheer on Sofia Levski.

It's not just the Bulgarian media and fans who get carried away. Even the head coach Stoilov found that Wan Sheng didn't say much, and his confidence was a little inflated, so he expressed his confidence again before the game, saying that his team would definitely take the three points at Manchester Stadium.

Wan Sheng didn't even bother to talk nonsense.

Since you said you want to beat Manchester City, then come on, anyway, the game is about to start, let's see the real chapter on the field!

This situation seems a little weird.

In the past, Wan Sheng was always the high-profile one, he went to other teams more than once, and made high-profile claims to win against opponents, and now there are other 'weak teams' who have come to Manchester City's territory to negotiate victory, which makes many media feel very interesting.

No one can be sure of the outcome, but the English media is definitely more biased towards Manchester City, because no matter what the analysis is, it is difficult for them to conclude that Manchester City may lose.

In this environment of public opinion, the competition began

In fact, Stoilov's tactical thinking is fine, and he intends to play in the same style as Reading and Manchester City.

The defense is tough, Sofia Levsky has it, the attack is direct, Sofia Levsky also has it.

But other factors, he did not think well, at least, Sofia Levski is not Reading, in terms of strength, they may not be better than Reading, there will definitely be differences in the playing style of the two teams, just knowing how to play, may not be able to play the same effect.

In addition, the time of the game with Reading was after the international break, and in that game, Manchester City had many main players, such as Anelka, Morris, Ziegler, Sun Jihai, Downing and others did not play, and Manchester City's semi-substitute lineup naturally could not match the strength of the main lineup.

Stoilov thought everything too well.

As soon as the game began, Sofia Levski's players found it really difficult to do what manager Stojlov said, using tough defense to limit Manchester City's attack.

They can't withstand Manchester City's attack at the back!

In addition, when Stojlov explained the tactics, he talked about the simplicity and directness of the attack, but Sofia Levski did not have a very good midfielder, and the team's front and back connections were not close enough, coupled with the limited personal ability of the strikers, their simple passes could only be intercepted by Manchester City again and again, in other words, their simple and direct attacks could not be played at all.

After a few quick transitions between attack and defence, the football was firmly controlled by Manchester City. Sofia Levski could only defend his own half, unable to even attack the middle line.

City are not in a hurry to attack, they just control the ball and pass it back and forth, it is like a friendly match against Sofia Levski in half time, but Sofia Levski has nothing to do.

They had players who tried to get up to the ball, only to find that one person was constantly running, and he couldn't pose a threat to City's pass, and the players who went up were like monkeys, being played around by Manchester City players. They were annoyed, but there was still nothing they could do.

Stojlov carefully watched the video of Manchester City's game, he noticed Manchester City's control of the play, and also felt that as long as the defense was tough, it could limit Manchester City's offensive, but the video was different from the scene, and now the actual experience, he was even more surprised by Manchester City's tacit cooperation and transmission, football at the feet of Manchester City players, a few feet can quickly pass from the right side to the left side. Or from the back to the front, or even when the ball is unstable in front, they can quickly move the ball out and pass it around the half court. Until they find an opportunity, they will suddenly launch a fast-paced attack.

This kind of transmission cooperation is dazzling to look at!

When City suddenly attacked, the threat was even greater, as if the car that was already running fast had increased its speed. It was a hard time to get used to, and then Sofia Levski's defence was prone to leaks and the players in front of City found a chance to shoot at goal.

In the face of this offensive. Sofia Levski had no choice at all, and it didn't take long for their three fronts to be compressed into one, and even their defensive positions were chaotic, and many times the midfielders were almost standing further back than the central defenders, which shows how lacking their tactical literacy is.

In this case, not to mention the counterattack, they can play a good half-court defense, thank God!

Morris then rendered Sofia Levski useless in the half with a penetrating pass, a pass on the left flank, and Morris shook off his followers to make room to deliver the ball straight to the front of the box, where the ball flew past the feet of two Sofia Levski players and appeared directly in front of David Silva.

It was almost a tailor-made opportunity for Silva, who strode over and instantly swung his right foot and slammed it into the bottom edge of the ball!

"Bang!"

After a muffled sound, the football rushed straight out like a meteor against the turf.

"David Silva!!" The on-site narrator, Belbart, shouted, followed by a long roar indicating the result, "Goooooooal!!!!! ”

"David Silva!! Goal！！！ Goal！！！ ”

"The ball is in! The ball is in! David Silva gave City the lead with a direct shot from the edge of the box! 1:0！ Just 13 minutes into the game, Manchester City had a goal! ”

David Silva, who scored the goal, was quite excited under the excited voices of the various commentators, and this was Manchester City's first Champions League game and the first Champions League game he played.

In a game like this, it makes a lot of sense to score the first goal.

Many of their team-mates came to celebrate, and they joined David Silva on the sidelines to enjoy the cheers of the City fans in the stands.

At the same time, Wan Sheng on the sidelines also clenched his fists.

The goal against Sofia Levski is nothing, but the first ten minutes of the game, coupled with this goal, the first Champions League game is basically equivalent to winning!

There will be no pressure on the team after that

After Manchester City took the lead, they played more smoothly.

But instead of rushing to score again, they recklessly controlled the ball and bought more time on the ball, so as to slowly look for opportunities on the perimeter, and when they found an opportunity, they would suddenly pick up the tempo and launch a threatening wave of fast attacks.

That's what Manchester City do best.

Possession, tempo, fast break, all three add up to take full control of the situation.

In order to win the first game of the Champions League, Wan Sheng specially advised the team on the style of play before the game, so that the team after scoring the first goal, mainly control the ball, when controlling the ball, the football is in the midfield most of the time, and the team will not press too forward, so that the opponent will not be given a chance, and the football is under the control of Manchester City, and the opportunity can still play a very big threat.

This kind of tactical play, if you want to really play well, the player who initiates the attack is the key.

Manchester City are the ones who do the job with Morris and David Silva!

In the past, this task has always been held by Morris himself, but now David Silva has gradually grown, he has some leadership temperament, his individual skills are not as good as Morris, but he is also quite good, in some aspects, such as technical ability, David Silva is better than Morris.

There are two benchmarks in the midfield, they will attack when they see an opportunity, and then the whole team will deliberately speed up the pass, and when the speed increases, all the Manchester City players can feel it, and they will know that the team is going to attack.

The faster the passing and receiving speed, the opponent will have some discomfort, and it is easier to make mistakes in movement, positioning and defence, so Manchester City will increase the forward pass and then look for opportunities in the front court.

Stojlov wanted his team to use a tough defense to limit City's attack, but when it came to such an attack, the Sofia Levski players on the pitch only felt scrambling, and it was not easy for them to even try to be tough: when they did, the football was not around at all, and those who had the opportunity to defend, one did not pay attention, and the football rolled to the other side, so they could only run around the backfield, but there was not much they could do.

So the confusion in Sofia Levsky's defense can be imagined.

Despite their efforts to defend well and the defensive line in front of goal was tight, City were given a good chance to score the second goal in the 31st minute.

It was an assist from Ivan Crewe.

Copelle Ferreira, a central defender who followed up, sent the ball into the goal with his header from 6 meters in front of the goal!

2:0！

Only half an hour into the game, Manchester City was already 2-0 up.

It was still a game at the Manchester Stadium, and seeing the goal, everyone knew that the game was basically out of suspense.

Copelle Ferreira was quite excited after the goal, he came to Manchester City last year, he was a little confused about his future, and now he has become the absolute main force in Manchester City's backfield, but as a central defender, it is very difficult to score, especially in this kind of Champions League situation, but he has done it now, a header, after the goal he is a little unbelievable.

Ferreira hugged his teammates excitedly, and kept saying, "2:0!" My header! Ha ha! Several teammates stepped forward and kept touching his short hair, and he didn't care at all.

At this time, Stoilov in the coach's box looked very ugly, before the game he thought that Manchester City was nothing remarkable, the young Chinese was only lucky to lead Manchester City to success, he wanted to use the Reading team's playing tactics against Manchester City, even if it was difficult to win the game, but there was still hope for a draw, but what he did not expect was that hope would be dashed so quickly.

It's only been half an hour!

Half an hour has proved that the countermeasures he worked so hard to come up with, the confidence he expressed before the game, have become a complete joke!

The team's tough style of play, the idea is correct, but the team's strength can't keep up at all, the backcourt defense is a mess, in the face of Manchester City's control of the play, the team is not easy to grab the ball, and now it is difficult to see the football to the Manchester City half for a few minutes.

If the game goes on like this, there is really nothing my team can do. (To be continued.) )
