Chapter 182: Rise in Status

Until half-time, Stoilov didn't think about what to do.

Perhaps this is also understandable, the opponents of the Premier League are analyzing Manchester City, playing style, tactics, cracking methods, etc., but when it comes to playing against Manchester City, most teams are still helpless, Sofia Levski is by no means a special one, and Stoilov is not a savior-level coach, he cannot crack Manchester City's tactics in a short time.

In addition, he also told the two strikers to stand up to the front in the second half, and the team should rely on quick counterattacks to find opportunities, and when appropriate, they will also make long passes at the back.

This simple and straightforward approach is often the most effective.

But in the second half, the situation did not improve, but Manchester City scored another goal in the opening period, and seeing this goal, Stoilov felt that all his strength was drained, and he watched the game with a blank look in his eyes, completely overwhelmed.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he was really a little panicked.

The feeling is that no matter how hard he and his team try, they can't shake Manchester City, or even pose even the slightest threat to the Manchester City goal, and Manchester City have been in control of the ball, and whenever they attack, their own goal is so dangerous that the team's defense will become chaotic, which makes the goal even more threatening.

Stoilov knew the situation was bad, but the only thing he could do was watch, powerless to do anything to change the situation.

In fact, even if you lose the game directly, it's nothing.

Sofia Levski is not a strong team in the first place, they are the first Bulgarian team to enter the Champions League group stage, just like the Chinese team entering the World Cup, who expects the Chinese team to win the Hercules Cup? Not to mention winning the championship, few people even expect the Chinese team to qualify from the group. Everyone just wants them to score a goal and not lose too badly, that's all, and the same goes for Sofia Levski, who are the underdogs in the eyes of the group, after the grouping. The European media have defined it - Sofia Levski is completely hopeless of qualifying, so losing away to Manchester City is nothing.

But the key is the process of losing!

Not to mention winning or something, Stoilov doesn't even see a little hope of scoring, this losing process is so desperate, in the face of a strong Manchester City, Stoilov's feeling is powerless, powerless, powerless then the problem is more than this game, next time back to the George Asparukhov Stadium, will they have a chance?

Although the game hadn't started yet, Stoilov already had the answer in his mind.

It was the same with Manchester City. And what about Bayern Munich, Real Madrid? The situation cannot be judged in detail, but just listening to the names of the two teams, with their fame, they should only be stronger than Manchester City, not weaker, right?

Stoilov suddenly felt that he was a joke!

After the end of the group, he was actually delusional about what group to qualifyFacing this kind of opponent who wants to win three away games is a dream, why can Sofia Levski qualify from the group? Sure enough, it seems to be analyzed by the European media, and this group deserves to be the real group of death!

After Manchester City scored the third goal, there would be no suspense in the game.

Manchester Stadium. Manchester City fans began to celebrate the victory, even though it was only the first round of the Champions League. But it was Manchester City's first European game in a few seasons, or the Champions League, and such a big win is naturally worth celebrating.

Although the victory was expected, such a big victory was still hearty.

After this game, Manchester City fans are full of confidence that Manchester City will qualify, even if the opponents are Bayern Munich and Real Madrid? They won't necessarily be able to beat Sofia Levski so easily at home, right?

They firmly believe that Manchester City is no worse than any other team!

However, Manchester City fans were still celebrating the victory a little too early. Because City's goal was still not over, before the break, taking advantage of a corner kick opportunity and taking advantage of the chaos in the penalty area, David Silva stabbed home a fourth goal for Manchester City.

“4:0! 4:0! ”

"David Silva! David Silva! ”

'David Silva scored again before the end. He scored two goals! It was his first Champions League game and he was perfect! David Silva just celebrated his 20th birthday in January this year, and now he has scored two goals for Manchester City in the Champions League, and David Silva has also scored a goal in the Premier League, so we can see that he has been more consistent and better this season! ”

"There is no doubt that he has a bright future ahead of him!"

"Like many other young players, David Silva is also a young player who has been unearthed by Wansheng, he is from Spain, he was very young when he first came to the team, but now, a year later, he is the absolute main midfield of Manchester City, and now he is shining on the field, just like the manager Wansheng once commented, 'He will be the big star of the future!' ”

"Now I dare say, no need for the future, now, he is already a big star at Manchester City!"

With the passionate commentary of Belbart on the radio, many fans shouted the name of David Silva, and many fans were shouting Wansheng, because David Silva was brought by Wansheng, and many outstanding players in the team were also brought by Wansheng.

On the bench, Mesut Ozil was looking at the pitch.

He entered the team with Boateng, two midfielders and a defender, but the competition for defenders was more fierce, so Boateng did not make the squad, and he was able to sit here and watch the game, looking at David Silva on the field, Ozil felt very envious, and at the same time, he thought that he was also in Manchester City, the same Wansheng brought to the team, and the experience was very similar to David Silva.

So by this time next year, will he become the absolute workhorse of Manchester City?

Maybe that's too extravagant.

Even if you can play often, after all, Manchester City is now the top team in the Premier League, and if you can gain a foothold in such a team, you are already a player who has stepped into the national team.

When the door of the German national team will also be open for itself?

Ozilton has a lot to look forward to, and he is determined to continue to train hard in the future. Follow the guidance of your teammates and veterans and do your best to improve.

Ozil also feels that he has an advantage over David Silva - David Silva only entered Manchester City at the age of 19 and a half, and he is not yet 18 years old, so in two years' time, he will definitely be able to achieve even more. It will definitely be stronger than David Silva on the field!

Thinking of this, Ozil became more and more determined

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the Manchester stadium was plunged into a sea of cheers, and tens of thousands of Manchester City fans who were enthusiastically waiting for the game to end erupted, and their shouts converged into a hot current that hovered over the stadium for a long time.

The voice of Belbart in the radio room resounded throughout the stadium, "The game is over!" Manchester City won their first Champions League game! 4:0, there was no suspense from the beginning to the end of the game, Sofia Levski had no power to fight back at all, four goals, each clean and neat! ”

"This is Wansheng's first Champions League game since he took charge. It was perfect! ”

"Manchester City showed their image in the Champions League with a 4-0 - strong! Just like in the Premier League! Many people think that Manchester City will be difficult to qualify for the Champions League group stage because Group G has Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, but after watching this game, how many people will still insist on their opinion? ”

"Wan Sheng said in front of the media that Manchester City have a good chance of qualifying, and he showed great confidence, but this is considered 'arrogance' by the European media, whether this is really the case. It will still be up to us to see the next matches in Group G, but we can be sure of that. City were perfect in the first round and they got the three points cleanly! ”

After that, Berbart talked about yesterday's Champions League group stage, in which Bayern Munich won 2-0 at home to Real Madrid in Group G, "Bayern Munich won 2-0, Manchester City won 4-0. The format of Group G is clear, with Bayern Munich and Manchester City winning each to tie for top of the group, and the winner between the two teams will also be decided in the second round, so we can start looking forward to the match between Manchester City and Bayern Munich! ”

“”

When Berbart talked about the situation in Group G of the Champions League group stage, the camera lenses were already firmly focused on Wan Sheng.

Some media and fans saw Wansheng's young face. They were all amazed.

This Chinese is still so young, he has already brought too many surprises to the Premier League, and it seems that in the Champions League, Manchester City's results will also be worth looking forward to.

He's amazing!

When he said that he wanted to qualify from the group before, many people were still very disdainful, but after watching this game, they will be shocked by the strength of Manchester City, and what is even more shocking is that such Manchester City was created by this young Chinese.

So how much magic does he still have to show!?

That evening, the European media reported on the first round of the Champions League just past, Manchester City's 4-0 victory over Sofia Levski is commendable, but this is not the focus of the first round of the group stage, after all, Sofia Levski as a weak team itself is not worth paying attention to, and even said that this game is not the focus of Group G, because the collision of giants can attract more people's attention.

The focus in Europe is the match between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.

The game ended 2-0 with Real Madrid losing away to Bayern Munich, reminiscent of a nightmare from a season ago.

At the post-match press conference, the arrogant Capello also had to admit that this game had no chance of winning for Real Madrid.

"Bayern Munich's physicality and tactical ability are excellent, and in terms of tonight's game, Bayern Munich surpassed us in all aspects." Capello said: "We were too rigid in today's game and we barely had a chance to score throughout the game. We had two good chances in the second half, but luck was clearly not on our side today. In this game, we are almost good for nothing. Both technically and tactically and physically, Bayern Munich are far ahead of us. ”

'We made too many mistakes defensively and were 2-0 down early on, which made it very difficult for us to play the next games and the opponents were easy to face. Although we struggled to organize and fall to our feet, our pace was too slow. And there is a lack of change. Capello concluded, "Today in Munich, Real Madrid's nightmare in Lyon last season seemed like a repeat of itself. ”

The Bundesliga kicked off a week earlier than La Liga, which allowed Bayern Munich to reach the peak of their physical condition faster than Real Madrid, but the technical gap cannot be used to prevaricate on this ground.

Last season's defeat to Arsenal in the Champions League did not sober Capello up. The stubborn Italian still replicated the tactical thinking of the previous two years at Juventus with two iron waists, but the composition of Real Madrid's personnel is clearly very different from that of Juventus. Nedved and Camoranesi can take off on both sides of Juve, but Raul, who has been in a long-term slump, and David Beckham, who is not good at running and assisting, cannot press the opponent's wings well, plus two midfielders who basically do not insert attack, Real Madrid seriously lost ground in the midfield in the game.

In fact, Real Madrid has a lot of talent on the wing, whether it is Reyes or Robinho, they are all big players in their own right. Raul's long-term slump has brought Capello's endurance to the extreme, but as the banner of Real Madrid, Raul will always be a fan favorite.

If Capello wants to continue his tactics, he must completely abolish Raul, or he will have to change his tactical play. It was a difficult choice for Capello.

Many media reports have expressed concern about Real Madrid's situation, "Marca" said after the game, "Real Madrid lost 0-2 to Bayern Munich in its Champions League debut this season, an ominous first half has pronounced Real Madrid's death sentence, they were scored twice in succession in the opening half hour, poor defense and nominal attack, so that Capello's players can only be satisfied with not conceding another goal in the second half." After the break. Bayern Munich slowed down, but Real Madrid were still unable to threaten up front. ”

The newspaper Marca concluded by concluding. 'Fabio Capello's side have lackluster against their first tough opponent this season.

An opinion piece in the newspaper As-S summed up Real Madrid's performance in the game as follows: "From Luxemburg to Capello, basically nothing has changed, Real Madrid strolled through Munich and were beaten by a much better team, and the opponents have shown mercy. Another year has passed. First Lyon, then Bayern, Diarra, who spent 26 million euros to buy, became a dispensable character. ”

"Real Madrid's road to its 10th Champions League trophy has been bad from the start. They were overwhelmed by the desire to win of a formidable and formidable enemy. Capello's fatal problem is that his team has become blind flies. Therefore, the defeat in this game is not an accident, but a complete lack of strength, which is the most painful thing. ”

Finally, the newspaper "As" rated several typical characters of Real Madrid in this game, among which the positive typical is Casillas, without his several wonderful saves, Real Madrid's fiasco would have been even more unsightly. The negative example was identified as Cannavaro, while Diarra, who is worth 26 million euros, was characterized as an "insignificant character".

Speaking to reporters before the game, the Italian defender said that "winning in Munich" would be the best gift for his birthday, and Real Madrid are more than capable of bringing home three points from Munich. But after the game really started, Cannavaro found himself having a bad birthday, and in the 10th minute, Schweinsteiger's cross into the middle was met by Cannavaro who made a fatal mistake of not being tight on the mark, and Roy Mackay easily picked the ball over the head of the onrushing Casillas to score.

20 minutes later, Cannavaro was humiliated for the second time, after Bayern Munich attacked the Real Madrid penalty area, Cannavaro flew to tackle Hargreaves, who was in possession of the ball, who knew that this time he stepped forward too much, but Hargreaves seized the opportunity, he calmly shook Cannavaro and passed to Podolski, who scored easily.

In the Spanish legion, the performances of Barcelona and Valencia made Spanish fans proud, but only the 'giants of the century' Real Madrid dragged their feet with a complete defeat, the Madridians sighed, and the Barcelona people were proud of it.

According to Le Monde, "0-2, Real Madrid was poured cold water in Munich. Bayern destroyed Real Madrid in the first half, and Fabio Capello's defensive build-up became a disaster. Cannavaro paid for his mistakes, while Casillas was always in a state of high tension. ”

The Spanish sports network also called Real Madrid's defeat "stupid and funny", in short, when Real Madrid was embarrassed, the pro-Barcelona media never lacked schadenfreude.

Bayern Munich's pride contrasts sharply with Real Madrid's frustration, which also has a lot to do with Manchester City.

Before the first round of Group G, everyone was optimistic that Bayern Munich and Real Madrid would join hands to qualify, but now looking back at the match between the two teams, Real Madrid had no power to fight back at all, so what would happen to Bayern Munich's opponent if it was replaced by Manchester City?

It's a question mark, but many feel that even if City lose, they won't be able to fight back, after all, Manchester City won the league last season.

All in all, Manchester City will certainly perform much better than Real Madrid.

And so the results came out.

Now let's talk about which two teams in Group G can qualify, Bayern Munich is still the right number above their heads, but whether Real Madrid can appear has become a question mark, which is the entry point of Manchester City, in the hearts of many fans, Manchester City has become a team that is tied with Real Madrid for 'possible qualification'.

This rise in the power position in the eyes of the media and fans is still worth rejoicing, but it is not because of how well Manchester City performs, but because Real Madrid's performance is too poor and it is not something to be proud of. (To be continued.) )
