Wan Sheng sat in his position, looking around at the stands. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

He is the only protagonist.

Many reporters filming the game subconsciously leaned close to Wan Sheng, and when the players of the two teams had not yet played, the reporters' cameras were all aimed at him.

was concerned by many reporters, but Wan Sheng was expressionless, what to do or what to do, he has long been used to being noticed. I remember six years ago, when he was coaching Derby County, he always imagined that one day he would play against a big club, and there would be a lot of reporters around him, and he would be the protagonist of the whole game, but when the day really came, he felt that it was not a big deal, and it didn't matter whether he shot or not.

Wan Sheng left a grim face on all the media.

That's when the players from both teams came into play.

When Atletico Madrid players play, there is only one feeling - Wan Sheng is really popular here!

There are Manchester City fans holding slogans in support of Wansheng in the stands all around, they keep shouting Wansheng's name, in addition to Wansheng, Morris is also the object of Manchester City fans' popularity, Morris has been in Manchester City for five seasons, and is one of the great contributors to Manchester City's victory in the Champions League, in comparison, Ozil is much worse, it is difficult to see the slogan supporting him throughout the stadium, maybe Ozil is also doing well, but compared to Morris, the core of the team and the core of the England team, he is still a lot worse, Especially with David Silva in the squad, Ozil will be difficult to remember by the fans.

Other Atletico Madrid players even lamented the support Wan Sheng received, and there were Manchester City fans shouting Wan Sheng all over the stadium, "The boss is really popular!" ”

"yes, look at these fans, I thought they were our fans!"

"These fans are so good to the boss!"

"If I score, will they be excited for me?" Diego Costa said suddenly.

Morris rolled his eyes, "You think too much......"

――――

In interviews ahead of the game, Manchester City fans were disappointed with their team's Champions League results, but in reality, they also wanted the team to win one game and keep their hopes alive in the fight to qualify from the group.

But when they think that the opponent is Atletico Madrid, many Manchester City fans are not confident.

They trust Wansheng too much!

It is precisely because of this trust that they don't think that Mancini can lead the team to beat the team of Wansheng, not to mention, Atletico Madrid's results are much better than Manchester City, many Manchester City fans come to watch the game, more to see Wansheng, as for the result of the game, their thinking is, "It is best to win, but lose...... I can't help it! Who made the opponent Atletico Madrid, and Atletico Madrid's manager Wansheng? ”

Manchester City fans are no longer thinking about the quality of the two teams.

They are completely because they trust Wansheng and know what kind of coach Wansheng is, Wansheng will definitely not show mercy to the team, and Wansheng is very capable, even if he leads a small club, it is difficult for Manchester City to please him.

If other fans knew what Manchester City fans were thinking, they would think it was a bit extreme.

Wan Sheng is not a god? How is it possible to beat Manchester City for sure?

But in the hearts of Manchester City fans, Wan Sheng...... It's God! He led Manchester City to three consecutive Premier League titles, four cup titles, two Community Shields and a UEFA Champions League trophy!

Three seasons, 10 championships!

There are also four heavyweight titles among them!

After Wan Sheng left Manchester City, Manchester City was bought by the Abizaye consortium and received a large injection of capital, with an average investment of 100 million euros per summer, which sounds terrifying, but so what?

More than three seasons have passed, Manchester City, which once dominated English football, after investing more than 300 million euros in transfer funds, has now achieved nothing, and both Champions League games have failed.

The 300 million euros of the Abizhaye consortium are nothing compared to Wansheng's coaching, and they are not comparable at all!

――――

The race has finally begun.

Manchester City kick off first.

Manchester City coach Mancini hopes that the team can give their best to the game, he did a lot of mental work before the game, and in the game, the efforts of the players still made Mancini feel a little better, at least Manchester City's first wave of attack played well, the ball passed directly into the penalty area, although it did not pose a threat to the goal, but this is also a good start?

But Mancini never expected that after the first wave of attacks, Manchester City would lose their chances.

When the football reached the feet of Atletico Madrid and started to work, the Manchester City fans burst into exclamations.

They see a shadow of City's tactics in the past.

At the beginning, Wan Sheng's Manchester City coached the ball constantly during the game, and all kinds of exquisite cooperation were often staged in the game, but it is a pity that the current excitement belongs to the opponent - Atletico Madrid.

Atletico Madrid's 'B-TF' system comes from the 'OS-F' when Wansheng led Manchester City, emphasizing the same speed, running, and speeding up the pace, the only difference is that the 'B-TF' system emphasizes the overall attack and defense, and the 'OS-F' is a scattered position, and the position of the players is still relatively clear.

No matter what kind of tactic, in the eyes of fans, the biggest embodiment of the effect of playing is smooth cooperation.

It's been a long time since Manchester City fans have seen the football they are familiar with.

Since Wan Sheng left, Manchester City only insisted on 'os-f' for a year, but lost Wan Sheng's guidance, plus many new players joined, the 'os-f' system simply could not be carried out, the new coach did not understand the system, the new players could not integrate into the system, even if there were old players such as Morris and David Silva to guide it, it would not help, because the new coach's understanding of tactics was not as good as that of the players, so soon Manchester City's tactics became simple.

After Mancini took over as head coach, he didn't mention attacking football at all.

On the one hand, he simply can't get the team to play beautiful attacking football, he also thinks that this kind of football is impractical and difficult to achieve good results, and in addition, Mancini desperately wants to eliminate the influence of Wan Sheng in the team, and he will not use the tactics that Wan Sheng has used, but will put the team in his shadow.

Mancini succeeded.

After more than two years, Manchester City can no longer see attacking football, they attack in attack, defense in defense, and their tactics are relatively simple.

Mancini is an Italian, with a deep-rooted concept of defense first, and his experience in coaching the team also taught him the importance of defense, so in the team's tactical training, he emphasizes more on defense, especially the defense of the back waist, more back to seal the middle, double back or even three back to control the middle, ground penetration, back flexible insertion, he is very experienced in the use of back waist.

Perhaps because of this, Ozil, who has a slightly worse defensive ability, has little playing time at Manchester City.

Now this Manchester City on the field, playing the 451 tactic, the midfield five-person combination must all participate in the defense, and all can be used as a back when retreating, this style of play does have a certain effect, but the offensive gorgeousness is completely gone.

When Atletico Madrid attacked, even the Manchester Stadium commentator stopped talking about Manchester City, but about Atletico Madrid's attacking style.

Many Manchester City fans exclaimed, and some fans were also in tears - what a nostalgic scene!

"The players in the Manchester City jerseys were running as hard as they could, the football was passing back and forth between them, the continuous passing and receiving was dazzling, and then the football came to a lethal position and then they were ready to get up in their seats...... Raise your arms and cheer! ”

This is the football that Wan Sheng has played with Manchester City for three years.

Beautiful and charming!

It's a pity they never had a chance to relive that scene again!

Manchester City are starting to stick to their traditional style of play, what is the traditional way of playing? That is the defensive counterattack, especially against the Spanish team, like this game, Mancini's tactical thinking is to defend and counterattack, they must first stabilize the defense, and wait for the goal to be stable and there is no danger, and then seek a wave of counterattack.

But in the game, Manchester City fans only saw defense, no counterattack.

Now that Manchester City fans have seen the football of the past again, even more beautiful, faster and more fluid than they did when they were at Manchester City, for a moment they thought that the victorious Manchester City had returned, only to wake up from their hallucinations again.

It's Atletico Madrid who plays gorgeous football on the field!

After the exclamation, the Manchester City fans were silent, once, and only once, that was gone, and the future can only be used as a memory.

――――

Manchester City fans reminisced in the stands, and Mancini in the dugout was on pins and needles, twisting his butt as if he wanted to stand up, but he kept sitting in his position.

The game was different from what he had imagined.

In Mancini's vision, the game should be Atletico Madrid's attack, Manchester City will counterattack, and then find the gap that Atletico Madrid has no time to retreat to create a threat.

That's the defensive counter-attack.

But the game has completely become the rhythm of Atletico Madrid, their attacking speed is very fast, and even so fast that Manchester City is completely uncomfortable, many Manchester City players can not make effective defense at all, they can only follow the Atletico Madrid players and keep chasing...... Chase, chase!

Manchester City can't keep up with the rhythm!

It's obvious.

Atletico Madrid kept up the pace of attack, and the key thing was that they were still very fluid in passing and receiving the ball, and the City players were running forward to make a tough scramble, which was set before the game, but when they ran to the player with the ball, the opponent had already passed the ball.

I can't even catch up with the ball, how can I fight hard?

If the opponent doesn't have the ball and hits it...... That's a deliberate foul! No player was stupid enough to do that, so they were all depressed.

Manchester City's players can't catch up with the ball or second, the key is passive running...... Tired.

Atletico Madrid players are also constantly running, but they are also passing, and the speed of football is much faster than people, Manchester City wants to fight outside the penalty area, they need to catch up with the ball, catch up with the players, but their running is very passive, so they have no choice but to retreat and shrink the formation.

The scene made Mancini frown.

Sure enough, then Manchester City couldn't kick out, not to mention that they couldn't grab the ball, even if the ball was broken, there were no players in front, they couldn't even counterattack, a big-foot pass, and it was too unrealistic to let the only striker Dzeko rely on his personal ability to fight.

Atletico Madrid's defenders are not ornaments, with two centre-backs, Thiago Silva and Godin, limiting Dzeko to the core. They don't need to do anything else because City only have one striker.

Atletico Madrid's front field is very active, and what annoys Mancini the most is the play of Atletico Madrid's left winger Mesut Ozil!

Morris transferred to Atletico Madrid on a free basis, but there is nothing to say, it has nothing to do with Mancini, it is Morris's own choice, but Ozil's transfer to Atletico Madrid has something to do with Mancini.

When Atletico Madrid asked for Mesut Ozil and David Silva, club president Mubarak asked Mancini's opinion, David Silva is the core of Manchester City, the best player in the midfield, Mancini doesn't have to think about it at all, but Ozil is what he considers, Ozil has always been dissatisfied with his playing time, if Ozil is retained, he will definitely be given more playing time.

Mancini believes that Ozil is not capable enough, and his value is very inflated, all of which have risen with Manchester City winning the Champions League, so Mancini decided to sell Ozil to Atletico Madrid, so as to leave more space in the midfield.

It was Mancini's decision, which he also explained to Mubarak.

Mubarak listened to him before deciding to sell Mesut Ozil to Atletico Madrid.

Look at Mesut Ozil's performance right now!

He single-handedly turned Adam Johnson and Kolarov around!

Adam Johnson is a player Mancini has been named for, and his £8 million worth and England international status are testament to his quality, as he defends well as a midfielder; Known as the Carlos of Serbia, Kolarov started his career in Kukaliki Belgrade and rose to fame in Serie A Lazio, after which Lazio paid only 80w euros in 2007 and quickly secured his position as the main player of the Blue Eagles, who moved to Manchester City for £19 million last summer.

Both of these players are quite strong, but with Mesut Ozil's performance, they seem to be completely green leaves as a foil.

Mesut Ozil dribbled the ball down the left three times in a row, defending together but failing to stop the next one, and on one occasion, the two men closed the ball back and forth, but Ozil managed to break through, and on those three occasions, Ozil also created two crosses of considerable quality.

"Manchester City's right side was broken by Mesut Ozil alone!" Even the English commentators said so.

Mancini's mood can be imagined.

Considering that the club's president, Hosri-Mubarak, was watching the game from the podium, his mood became even worse.
