Ivan Crewe, who had just passed the ball to Martin Petrov, was stunned, he didn't expect that he would be able to score a goal early with a long pass.

Are we ahead?

This Spaniard is really good!

"No wonder the coach asked me to pass the ball." Ivan Crewe instantly remembered Wansheng's advice just now, and also attributed most of the credit for the goal to Wansheng.

This may be because he is not familiar with Martin Petrov, who does not speak English very well and has only spoken to a few players in the team.

But that doesn't stop Ivan Crewe from getting excited!

"Well done, Martin!" He rushed over and hugged Petrov first.

Other Manchester City players joined him, rushing to the front of the pitch to hug Petrov.

Martin Petrov has never been happier than he is now.

――――

"It was Martin Petrov's first goal in the league for Manchester City!"

'He's been playing a lot of games since he joined City, but he hasn't scored, so it's not a problem for a full-back to score fewer goals, but as a player with an important attacking point, it's also very important.

'Congratulations to him for breaking his goal drought and we hope he can bring more goals to Manchester City in the future!'

Belbart's words entered Wansheng's heart.

Wan Sheng is well aware of Martin Petrov's individual attributes, his individual technical ability is excellent, especially dribbling and speed, which are outstanding in the whole team, and his shooting ability is not bad, but he just hasn't scored.

What is the reason?

At first Wan Sheng did not notice this problem, and after a long time, as the game progressed, he found that Martin Petrov was a bit of a German old-fashioned.

He doesn't seem to be hungry for goals, rarely plugs in to assist, and doesn't look for opportunities with the ball himself. On the wing, it will only not count as creating opportunities for teammates to pass the ball.

There's nothing wrong with that, but it's a problem if you don't look for your own opportunities at all.

Wan Sheng asked Petrovdo to pass the ball, he kept passing the ball on the field, asked him to break through, and he looked for opportunities to break through.

He's done well on both fronts.

Wan Sheng didn't ask him to look for opportunities on his own and get the assist to score the goal, Petrov wouldn't have done that.

That's old-fashioned!

After noticing this problem, Wan Sheng began to tell Petrov when he had a chance in training. You can also look for opportunities on your own, and now that you can see Petrov score the goal, he feels like his work has paid off.

The sense of accomplishment is different from that of a player scoring a goal, not excitement, not excitement, but a feeling of success.

When Manchester City celebrated the goal, Wan Sheng stood on the sidelines with a happy smile on his face.

He was relieved by Petrov's goal.

――――

Seeing the football fly into the goal, Manchester City celebrated with excitement to score a goal. Chelsea are not feeling so good.

The Chelsea players are grim-looking.

Head coach Avran Grant looked at the pitch seriously, he didn't expect it to be Martin Petrov, the opposing left wing-back.

Grana still has some research on Manchester City.

In terms of goals, Manchester City's most capable player on the pitch is undoubtedly striker Darren Bent, and the next threat is Mesut Ozil, Silva, Ivan Crewe and other players. Even Robert Carlos and Lescott are better than Martin Petrov, who has scored at least this season, and Martin Petrov has not scored a single goal.

He didn't expect Martin Petrov to take advantage of the opportunity. Break your own goal drought!

Can it be said that Chelsea are unlucky?

Grant shook his head, knowing that the team was a little negligent and that City's attack on the right and in the middle was too strong. Martin Petrov on the left mostly showed breakthroughs and passes, and this one was even more so when their defence was negligent on the left side of the city.

Thinking of this, Grant immediately told the team to pay attention to the left side.

Whatever Grant wants to make up for, City have already scored a goal to take the lead.

It's a fact.

The cheers at Manchester Stadium speak for themselves.

Now Grant has to think about how Chelsea can equalise or how they can get out of the way at the Manchester stadium.

――――

Although they conceded a goal, it was not to the point where they were sure to lose for Chelsea.

The first half hasn't passed yet, and they still have time to catch up.

Chelsea didn't panic when they were down, they were still playing solid, but they didn't know how to break through City's defence, mainly because Ballack was limited.

Arano Brummer's defense against Ballack was so tight that it felt like a 'life-and-death enemy', and even when he couldn't defend, he didn't hesitate to choose to stop it with a foul.

This kind of defense made it impossible for Ballack to play properly at all.

The rest of the Chelsea players were furious at Elano Brummer's approach, and they wanted to help Ballack share the defensive pressure and free Ballack from Brummer's 'clutches', but Brummer was completely aware of Ballack, and even when other players were around with the ball, he would not 'let Ballack' go.

This made the rest of Chelsea and Ballack frustrated.

Brummer's defense was clearly a pre-game set-up, and Brummer's defensive ability was quite good, and even if Ballack got rid of Brummer, it would not be easy to face Manchester City's much more solid defense than usual.

The players on the pitch at Chelsea have a headache, and so does Grant as head coach.

He couldn't help but look to the side.

The Chinese seemed to be standing on the sidelines at any time, rarely returning to the coach's seat to sit.

It feels like ...... It's the same as 'fighting' with the players!

Grant complained in his heart, and he had to admit that the other party's lack of youth was really an advantage, if he stood on the sidelines and concentrated on watching the game, it would be difficult to simply play the whole game, after all, as a coach, he can sit, there is no need to stand all the time.

But the other side is like this every time they play.

Some media outlets also liked to joke about Wansheng's habit, saying, "Why do Manchester City win so often? Because they have twelve players, always one more than the opposing team. ”

Of course, now is not the time to think about that.

The Chinese's arrangement of the game surprised him, with a calm defensive counter-attack, a close defense by the backfield big man Brummer, and two targeted changes, both hitting Chelsea's soft underbelly.

He now somewhat understood why the other party was so successful.

The match between Manchester City and Chelsea, to put it bluntly, is just a league game, but the other party has seen Chelsea's recent situation, made strict arrangements for it, and must have done targeted tactical training before the game.

Just talking about these two arrangements, it is not something that ordinary football coaches can do, Grant does not think that he can make such accurate judgments, obviously the other party has his own deep understanding in preparation.

People who are capable are always more likely to succeed.

Especially for football coaches, experience is very important, but talent is actually more important, some football coaches do not have much experience, but they are very successful in leading the team, and some football coaches, even if they have professional star experience, after becoming a head coach, it is difficult to achieve anything.

At present, there are many young and outstanding coaches in world football, such as Mourinho and Benitez, who have succeeded at the age of 40, and 40 years old is still very young compared to football coaches.

The young Chinese became famous even earlier — less than 30 years old, and even recalled that he began to succeed just after the age of 25.

Now that I think about it, it's really a matter of talent!

Thinking back to himself, he was also a famous head coach at a young age, but unfortunately he never left Israel for most of his life, and lost the opportunity to go further.

Grant was a little sad, but he still thought about how to make adjustments to save the situation.

Soon after several waves of attacks from both sides, the time of the first half came, and the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, after which the two sides went into halftime.

In the visiting dressing room, Grant summed up the first half and arranged how to play the second.

To put it simply, it's about stepping up the offense!

In the case of falling behind and conceding the goal, strengthening the attack is definitely the only choice, of course, how to strengthen the attack is also a problem, Grant chose to directly replace the two fronts - Pizarro, Joe Cole!

Needless to say, Joe Cole is a veteran of Chelsea and an England international who excels in technique and speed.

Pizarro is a Peruvian player.

In 1999, at the age of 21, Pizarro became the fourth Peruvian player in the history of the German league.

After the success of Werder Bremen, Pizarro chose to join Bayern Munich, where his 8 million euro worth proved Pizarro's quality, and after arriving at Bayern, Pizarro continued the good momentum of his Bremen years, affectionately known as the "Inga God" (Inga God) by fans.

Pizarro scored 37 goals in two seasons and was a key part of Bayern's 02/03 League Cup double.

During his time at Bayern, whether it was Brazilian Elber or Dutch goalscorer Mackay, Pizarro could work well with them to maximize Bayern's attacking power.

Regardless of the team's results, he has been one of the most consistent players in the team and has been consistent in scoring goals over several seasons.

Last season, Bayern did not perform well in the league, and with Pizarro's contract with Bayern expiring at the end of his contract, he opted for a free transfer to the Premier League. Chelsea offered Pizarro a four-year contract, and Pizarro was delighted to don the Blues shirt.

However, after Pizarro arrived at Chelsea, he performed very poorly in half a year, making 10 appearances and only one goal, which made manager Grant lose confidence in him.

Now, when the team is in crisis, Grant remembers the former Bayern goalscorer.

At this critical juncture, he made a gambling-style adjustment.

"Hopefully he can bring a goal ...... to the team"

When Pizarro and Joe Cole came on the pitch, Grant stood on the sidelines, praying silently. (To be continued.) )
